Qiao Si took Qiao Nai with him, from the candy figurine stall to the puppet show of Journey to the West, trying to make her happy all the way.
Although Qiao Nai is older than her, the princess protected her too well because she had been weak since childhood, which made her think that everyone was a good person and gave others the opportunity to hurt her.
When it comes to dealing with people and things, the younger Qiao Si is actually quite experienced.
But at this moment, the two girls who were arm in arm, fascinated by the shadow puppets, were just an ordinary pair of sisters in this bustling street.
After all, they are just teenage girls.
Zhang You looked at the two girls in front of him and felt emotional.
At this age, you have already experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature and are disappointed with some people and some things.
They lack the innocence and carefreeness that they should have at this age.
Just because they are feared, they are forced to grow up. It is both heartbreaking and admirable.
More and more people were coming and going in the streets. Dingzhou had no curfew, and the streets were open until dawn. Many people came here to enjoy the fun.
This street is ten meters wide. The shops on both sides of the street have their doors wide open and lanterns hung high to welcome customers.
Various small stalls are lined up in an orderly manner in front of the store, and the stall owners are shouting loudly.
These are the stall locations planned by Qiao Si, which can ensure that they will not block the shops from attracting business, and can also allow small stall owners to make some money.
Every five meters on the street there is a wooden pillar with a string of large lanterns hanging high on it, which can illuminate the entire street.
The bluestone-paved road stretched endlessly, connecting to other streets at the intersection ahead. Many vendors and tourists arrived one after another, and for a while, the place was bustling with activity.
It was getting late and they hadn't had dinner yet, so Qiao Si simply dragged Qiao Nai to a nearby restaurant.
Under normal circumstances, with Qiao Si's personality, he would definitely find a room and eat whatever he wanted.
But now she needed to play the role of a willful and capricious princess all the time, so she threw out a gold ingot in a high-profile manner and asked the shopkeeper to bring out the best and most expensive one.
At times like this, Zhang You and the others only needed to follow behind and agree with Qiao Si to support her.
Of course, this kind of work content has another alias.
Common name: lackey.
In the past, Zhang You would never have imagined that one day he would do such a "flattering" thing.
But life is so wonderful. Not only has she done it now, but she has also become quite addicted to it.
This is like a bunch of good friends getting together to put on a play for others. These friends all know her inside and out and know what kind of person she is in private. But now, everyone is acting and enjoying it.
When one person does this, it may seem a little strange; but when a group of people do this, they can only hold back their laughter.
For example, now Dongmei plays the role of a shrewd maid who says, "My princess is as precious as gold and jade, so I must prepare the best seasonal delicacies."
Zhang You and Chunhua followed closely behind and listed Qiao Si's taboos one by one.
"The princess doesn't eat ginger, but it must taste like ginger."
"The princess doesn't eat garlic, not even minced garlic."
"The princess eats fish, but not fish with a lot of bones!"
"The princess likes sweet food, but not too sweet. The princess can't eat too much sweet food at night."
…
The accountant who was recording these requests had his right hand flying on the paper, and he couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead with his left hand.
How did we end up with such a big Buddha?
So many requests!
Does every dish have to be carefully selected and arranged for her?
Isn't this embarrassing?
But...she gave too much...
The accountant with a small goatee sighed, gritted his teeth and continued writing.
Zhang You silently apologized in his heart: It’s really hard for him to suffer so much at his age.
After torturing the accountant, the rest will be a headache for the kitchen staff.
Zhang You and the others found Qiao Si's private room. Qiao Si waved his hand and told them to order their own food for dinner.
It's so rare that the boss treats us.
Jingzhu and the others who serve closely need to stay with their master at all times. Since they have a good relationship with their master, they can naturally sit and eat with Qiao Si and the others.
Anyway, the door is closed, so no one outside can see what's going on inside.
Zhang You and the others went to the lobby and found an empty table to sit down and eat.
If someone treats them, they will also prepare a good meal for themselves.
After a hearty meal, Zhang You smiled with satisfaction.
Qiao Si and the others were still eating, and it was not convenient for Zhang You and the others to disturb them now, so they simply took a walk around the street market at the door before going back.
As soon as Zhang You went out, he stretched.
By the time we finished our meal, it was completely dark. The evening breeze was a little chilly, and it felt a bit cold.
Chunhua was thoughtful and worried that Qiao Si and the others would be cold after coming out, so she suggested getting cloaks from the carriage.
This place was some distance away from the carriage, so Qiuyue and Dongmei volunteered. They had both learned martial arts and could go there and back faster.
After the two of them left, Zhang You and Chunhua looked around bored.
There was a pile of rouge and powder on the stall. Zhang You was a little curious and asked the price casually. This question gave her a shock.
"This box of crabapple powder rouge costs eighty coins."
Duo Shao? !
How much did you say?!
Zhang You looked at this "fake and shoddy" product and was really frightened by the exorbitant price the boss asked for.
That’s it?
Isn’t it just a copy of my Begonia series rouge?
But my material is the crabapple potted plant that Qiao Er carefully planted!
It is so expensive because it is rare. Even so, Qiao Er only priced it at fifty cents a box at that time!
Although Dingzhou has developed this year, it can't grow so fast!
Perhaps Zhang You was too shocked, so the boss deliberately showed off her products.
"This is real. I'm telling you in secret, this is the stuff I got from the palace, I guarantee it's genuine.
Selling it to you at this price is already a discount.
This crabapple pink rouge is only produced in spring. Rare things are valuable, you know? Go look around other shops. Who else can offer you this quality product?
Zhang You's mouth twitched twice, but he didn't say anything.
Chunhua smiled and took the rouge from her hand and handed it back, saying it was too expensive, and pulled Zhang You away.
The boss still wanted to keep them and shouted that he could give them a discount.
But Zhang You had already gone far away from Chunhua.
Zhang You curled her lips, "This is too much profit. Her box is not made of crabapple at all. The fragrance is not right. It must be adulterated.
You dare to sell it for eighty!"
Zhang You made the number eight with his hands and shook his head.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
"The embroidery shop I just visited had an imitation of the princess' bamboo purse for fifteen cents.
The embroidery technique and the satin are similar to the princess's at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find they are different."
