The crowd automatically parted.
Sun Shangxiang and a young woman walked gracefully towards them.
This woman is about the same height as Sun Shangxiang, but her skin is fairer and her face is more beautiful.
Moreover, she possesses a graceful and refined temperament, and is exceptionally elegant.
Undoubtedly, it was Xiao Qiao.
With such a beautiful woman, it's no wonder Cao Cao was constantly thinking about her.
To be honest, Li Huan was also tempted.
Damn it, Zhou Yu is really lucky.
Unfortunately, I arrived in the Three Kingdoms era too late; otherwise, I would have definitely tried every means to use my abilities to intercept Xiao Qiao.
Sun Shangxiang took Xiao Qiao's hand and arrived at the electric tricycle.
"Sister, look! This is the boxed lunch!"
Xiao Qiao's beautiful eyes darted around, scanning the eight dishes in the food bucket.
Before Li Huan could speak, Sun Shangxiang began to introduce them one by one.
"Braised pork trotters in soy sauce, steamed pork belly in lotus leaf, braised lion's head meatballs, stir-fried eel back with shrimp! Garlic cucumber, stir-fried green beans, braised eggplant, stir-fried tofu with green peppers!"
Li Huan gave a thumbs up: "Miss Sun, you have a very good memory!"
Sun Shangxiang complained, "Why didn't you set up your stall at noon? I had to wait so long!"
Li Huan lied, "I've been busy at the inn preparing all sorts of ingredients to cook dinner this evening."
Xiao Qiao looked at the cucumber, green beans, eggplant, and green pepper.
"Shangxiang said that these four dishes come from overseas foreign lands?"
Li Huan said loudly, "Cucumbers and eggplants come from India, a foreign land; green beans and bell peppers come from South America!"
Xiao Qiao nodded: "Since it is a specialty of another country, it is naturally rare."
Sun Shangxiang pointed to the pig's trotters, lion's head meatballs, shrimp, and eel: "These dishes are common, but they taste extremely delicious and the chefs are highly skilled. Sister Xiao Qiao, please try them."
Xiao Qiao hummed in agreement, turned around and walked to the dining table, where she sat down gracefully.
Li Huan reached out and patted the sign hanging in front of the car.
"Miss Sun, Mrs. Zhou, please see the price!"
Sun Shangxiang and Xiao Qiao were surprised when they saw the sign.
Wow! Ten taels of gold!
Sun Shangxiang's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Huan laughed and said, "I said yesterday that prices would definitely go up today. To be precise, each boxed meal will return to its normal price."
Sun Shangxiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Yesterday, each boxed meal cost one hundred coins, but today it has risen to ten taels of gold. This is simply unbelievable and incomprehensible!"
Li Huan said, "I'm giving away this rare mirror to Miss Sun for free. Doesn't that seem incredible and incomprehensible to others?"
Sun Shangxiang was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Qiao asked curiously, "What kind of mirror is it?"
Sun Shangxiang beckoned, signaling a female guard to take a rearview mirror from the quiver.
"This mirror is incredibly clear; I haven't shown it to my sister yet."
Sun Shangxiang held the rearview mirror in her hand and held it up in front of Xiao Qiao.
The mirror reflected Xiao Qiao's beautiful face.
Xiao Qiao exclaimed, "There's such a clear mirror! It's like seeing a real person!"
The crowd quickly gathered around to watch, praising the performance.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiao took the mirror from Sun Shangxiang and placed it in front of everyone, sharing this novel object.
This action is extremely approachable.
Li Huanxin thought to herself, "Xiao Qiao is approachable and kind to ordinary people. She has the potential to be an empress."
Sun Shangxiang said, "I am grateful that you gave me the mirror without accepting a penny, but selling a boxed lunch for ten taels of gold is a bit too greedy..."
Li Huan smiled calmly: "This mirror is worth one hundred taels of gold!"
The scene erupted in uproar.
Li Huan said, "If I give Miss Sun three hundred taels of gold, can you buy an identical mirror?"
“I…I…” Sun Shangxiang was speechless.
The price of the rearview mirror exceeded Sun Shangxiang's expectations.
Li Huan asked, "Excuse me, everyone, am I a greedy person?"
The crowd whispered among themselves.
Xiao Qiao said with a smile, "Such a valuable mirror must be from a foreign land. Stall owner Li is very generous in giving it away; he is definitely not a greedy person!"
Sun Shangxiang's expression showed remorse.
Li Huan picked up a ladle and said loudly.
"Each boxed meal includes four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, plus unlimited Yangzhou fried rice and seaweed and egg drop soup! In addition, a bottle of beer and a can of chilled Sprite are included!"
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly asked, "Iced Sprite, what kind of liquor is that?"
Li Huan explained, "Iced Sprite is not an alcoholic beverage, but a type of drink."
"Drinks?" Sun Shangxiang and Xiao Qiao asked in unison.
Li Huan said, "Simply put, it's sugar water."
Sun Shangxiang laughed: "What's so special about sweet soup? I drink it all the time."
Li Huan asked, "Have you ever had lemon-flavored sugar water?"
Xiao Qiao asked, "What is a lemon?"
Li Huan said, "Lemons are a type of fruit that originated in ancient India, but they are not currently cultivated in the Central Plains region."
He opened the ice bucket, took out a can of Sprite, and handed it to Sun Shangxiang.
"Please enjoy a complimentary chilled Sprite to whet your appetite."
Sun Shangxiang reached out and took the Sprite, her arm trembling slightly as if she had touched a piece of burning coal.
She switched the Sprite to her other hand and exclaimed, "It's ice-cold! Extremely ice-cold!"
Li Huan said, "This bucket contains a lot of ice cubes, and the Sprite inside is naturally cold."
Sun Shangxiang carefully examined the Sprite can, unsure how to open it.
Li Huan then took out a can of chilled Sprite from the ice bucket and personally demonstrated by pulling the tab.
Pfft!
The crisp sound of gas expelling gas startled everyone.
Li Huan took a sip of Sprite and looked quite content.
"Miss Sun, please have some iced Sprite. How does it differ from sugar water?"
Without further hesitation, Sun Shangxiang imitated Li Huan's actions and pulled the tab.
Instantly, some bubbles appeared.
