Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Excuse me, madam, this is a donkey meat sandwich, ten coins a serving. It tastes very good. Madam, you can buy one to try."
Mingxiu nodded: "Then I'll take three points." As she spoke, Mingxiu stretched out her small hand toward Kangxi.
"I didn't bring any money with me when I came out. I wonder if my husband has any?" She winked and looked at Kangxi playfully.
Kangxi smiled at her funny antics, then reached behind him, and Liang Jiugong naturally placed the purse in Kangxi's hand.
Kangxi took out some money and handed it over, then took the items and led Mingxiu to the next stall.
Mingxiu took out the donkey meat sandwich and gave it to Liang Jiugong, Qingya, and Yulan to share. She then took one and shared it with Kangxi, taking bites from each other.
Kangxi was initially a little reserved, but Mingxiu kept holding it up, and Kangxi felt a bit embarrassed, so the two of them could only stand on the street and eat it, one bite at a time.
Passersby saw them all smiling kindly, marveling at how good the young couple's relationship was.
Mingxiu ate half a donkey meat sandwich with satisfaction, and then led Kangxi to the next stall.
Coastal areas are frequently visited by foreigners or people from the Western Regions. These people are quite open-minded and capable of doing anything, so everyone has long been used to it.
Because of their influence, the people in coastal areas are also very bold and enthusiastic.
Seeing Mingxiu's actions wouldn't surprise me much.
Mingxiu took Kangxi for a stroll and some snacks. They saw a milk tea shop nearby that seemed to be doing quite well. There were many people coming and going in the vicinity, but only this shop had a long queue of people in front of it, and it looked very similar to the one Mingxiu had seen in the capital.
Mingxiu knew that this must have been copied by someone who had been to the capital, but she didn't plan to do anything about it, since people nowadays don't really have any awareness of copyright.
Mingxiu was very curious and went over to try a cup of bubble tea, but the taste was really not good. Ordinary people might not be able to tell the difference, but Mingxiu had been drinking it since she was a child, so she naturally knew the difference very well.
After taking only one sip, Mingxiu couldn't drink any more and handed the milk tea to Kangxi, asking him to finish it for her.
When Mingxiu was in modern times, she really wanted to try it when she saw her boyfriend's trash can, but she had never had the chance to try it since she was born.
After I came here, I had even less of this idea. I never expected that I would actually have the opportunity to realize this wish today.
Mingxiu even specifically instructed Kangxi that he must drink it.
The servants behind him were immediately calm upon seeing this scene. They had never seen anyone make the emperor eat leftovers. Liang Jiugong was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so he reached out to take the milk tea away.
Kangxi drank it without seeming to mind at all.
Kangxi genuinely didn't care that it was what Mingxiu had left over, but after taking a sip, he really didn't want to drink anymore, simply because it wasn't very tasty.
But it wasn't easy to throw it away, so Kangxi carried it in his hand and walked around for a while. Finally, the two of them stopped in front of a restaurant.
Mingxiu found the restaurant quite novel. She had often seen the name Tianxianglou in various TV dramas before, but she had never actually seen it before and thought it didn't exist.
I never expected to see it here; it's such a magical feeling.
Mingxiu pulled Kangxi inside.
"Please come in, sirs. How many of you are here?" The waiter quickly greeted the man and woman who led the way in.
Those in their line of work need to have a keen eye. These two are dressed in ordinary clothes, not to mention their overall demeanor; they're clearly not ordinary people.
I wonder which family's young master and his wife are out for a stroll together.
"Are there any private rooms upstairs? I'd like a private room with a nicer environment," Kangxi said after looking around.
"Alright, gentlemen, come here! You gentlemen have excellent taste. If we're talking about a good environment, our Tianxiang Restaurant is one of the best. May I ask where you gentlemen are from?" the waiter said as he walked over.
Kangxi ignored him, so naturally no one else spoke up. However, Mingxiu asked with great interest, "I wonder who came up with the name of our shop? Tianxianglou is a nice name."
"This lady has a good eye. This name was given by our manager's grandfather. Ever since we got this name, our Tianxiang Restaurant has always been doing very well. It has been passed down to our manager's generation. Many people say that it is because of the good name that the business is so good."
Mingxiu nodded with a smile, not expecting that the restaurant had been around for so long.
Having satisfied her needs, Mingxiu didn't say anything more, and just then they arrived at the private room.
Mingxiu and the others went inside. Mingxiu ordered a few dishes and asked Kangxi to order a few dishes as well. Since they had come to the seaside, they naturally had to eat seafood. There wasn't much seafood in the capital, and even if there was, it wasn't very fresh.
So Mingxiu ordered a whole table of seafood: stir-fried shrimp with chili, steamed crab, stir-fried crab with ginger and scallions, shrimp and crab porridge, steamed mussels, steamed clams with vermicelli, baked clams, and steamed razor clams in soup. It all looked delicious, and the food was served slowly.
Mingxiu looked down at the scenery with great interest; their private room had a view of the street below.
“My dear husband, this neighborhood looks really nice. Everyone seems to be living a very prosperous life,” Mingxiu said, looking at the people downstairs.
Emperor Kangxi looked at the people below. Unlike Mingxiu's simple stroll, even when Emperor Kangxi went out to play, he would also look at the things around him.
This had become a conditioned reflex, so ever since he came out, he had been observing, and the people he encountered along the way all seemed to be living well.
His clothes were clean, and he had a constant smile on his face, so he seemed to be living a pretty good life.
Kangxi nodded, feeling very satisfied. This was a beautiful sight under his rule.
Mingxiu chatted with Kangxi for a while, and then the food was served. Mingxiu tasted each dish one by one, and the taste was indeed very good. No wonder it had been able to keep going for so long.
This is the ultimate way to cook seafood! Mingxiu happily took a bite of the stir-fried shrimp with chili and nodded in satisfaction.
I just don't know if they have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall here.
Seafood is everywhere here; it would be delicious to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
However, after asking around, Mingxiu found that there was no Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so there was nothing to eat.
Mingxiu could only decide to buy the ingredients herself and eat them at home later.
Anyway, we're in a coastal area now, so there's no shortage of materials.
After lunch, Mingxiu and the other four went downstairs with protruding bellies.
Because it was so delicious, and Mingxiu ordered way too much, everyone ate until they were stuffed.
