"Wow, miss, you are so awesome." Xiaotao praised sincerely.
After not seeing her young lady for a few years, Xiao Tao felt that she had changed a lot, but she couldn't tell exactly where the change was.
"Sister Feng, if you need me anywhere, just call me. I'll help." Song Ning said.
"I want to help the young lady, too."
"Okay, if you really want to open a shop, you will be busy." Feng Jiuyan said with a smile.
She opened the little window and looked out.
Although the weather was a bit cold today, there were still many people on the streets. Many people went out to shop and buy things. And those small vendors who were forced to make a living also braved the cold and set up stalls to sell as usual.
Feng Jiuyan looked at the snacks sold on the street and felt a little greedy.
So she said to the driver, "Pull over and I'll take Xiaotao and the others for a walk."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Whoa~" The driver pulled the reins and stopped the donkey cart on the side of the road.
Feng Jiuyan walked out of the carriage and said to the driver, "You go back home first. This place is not far from the mansion. We can walk back later."
"Yes, miss." The driver said respectfully, then turned the donkey cart around and went back towards the mansion.
Feng Jiuyan and Xiao Tao watched the donkey cart go farther and farther away quietly until it disappeared from their sight. Then, the three of them looked at each other and smiled brilliantly at the same time.
Feng Jiuyan's expression was high, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy. "Okay, we can go shopping and buy whatever we want to eat."
She has fair skin, delicate features, tall figure and outstanding temperament. When she speaks, her expression is particularly vivid and lively, and her smiles are very contagious, causing passers-by to turn their heads frequently.
The three of them went around the various stalls. Since they had just arrived in Youzhou, they were very curious about everything they saw.
Until noon, when it was time for lunch, Feng Jiuyan did not plan to go back home to eat, and simply found a restaurant with more people on the street to eat.
Feng Jiuyan brought Xiao Tao and Song Ning into the restaurant. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was packed with people. Many people were sitting in the lobby in groups of three or four to eat.
The waiter shuttled between the tables, serving dishes to customers. Although it was already winter, the waiter's forehead was already sweating.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Feng Jiuyan and the other two standing at the door. The waiter came running over and said respectfully, "Miss, would you like to eat?"
Feng Jiuyan nodded, "Yes, it's dinner for the three of us."
"Miss, you are so lucky. There is an empty table upstairs. Please follow me."
After the waiter finished speaking, he walked in front and led Feng Jiuyan and the other two up to the second floor. "Miss, this way, please."
Feng Jiuyan and the other two sat at a table next to the railing on the second floor. The view from this position was very good, and they could see the people having meals downstairs in the lobby.
The waiter handed Feng Jiuyan a menu, put on a flattering smile, and said, "Miss, what would you like to eat?"
Feng Jiuyan flipped through the menu in his hand and asked casually, "What are the signature dishes in your restaurant?"
"Yes, we have sweet and sour pork and Dongpo pork. The weather is cold now, so you can have a mutton hotpot to warm your body."
"Well, give me one portion of each of the dishes you mentioned earlier."
"Okay, miss." The waiter picked up the pen and wrote on the notebook in his hand. He seemed to be encouraged and continued to recommend dishes to Feng Jiuyan, "By the way, miss. Our restaurant has special game today. Would you like to have a portion to try?"
"Special game? Is it fresh?" Feng Jiuyan asked with some confusion.
This place is Youzhou, located in the north. The winters are always cold. Every winter, the mountains are closed and hunters can no longer go up the mountains to hunt.
The waiter smiled proudly, "Hehehe, it's fresh. In the past two days, vendors have been bringing a large number of fresh prey to the street to sell early in the morning.
You also know that we are located in the north, the weather is very cold, the mountains are closed at this time, and hunters can't go into the mountains to hunt. It is very difficult to eat fresh game at this time.
These fresh prey we bought were all obtained with great difficulty.”
"Oh? Isn't the price very expensive?" Feng Jiuyan asked.
"Miss, you are smart. These prey are indeed expensive. One portion costs five taels of silver."
"What? Five taels of silver?" Xiao Tao's eyes widened. "Why don't you just go and rob?"
"That's right. It's actually sold for five taels of silver. That's too expensive." Song Ning echoed from the side.
"Hehe, girls, you're joking. Scarcity makes things valuable. The rich people just want to try something new, so naturally it's more expensive." The waiter was not angry and explained with a smile on his face.
Xiao Tao looked at Feng Jiuyan nervously, "Miss, let's not eat this wild animal. It's too expensive, it costs five taels of silver! We can buy a lot of delicious food with five taels of silver!"
"Yes, Sister Feng. It's not like we haven't eaten game before. What's so special about it?" Song Ning also said.
"Okay, let's not have the game. Let's have another serving of roasted squab, tofu, raw beef and raw mutton, and we'll have hot pot later."
"Okay, miss, please wait a moment, the food will be served to you in a moment." The waiter took the menu and ran downstairs in a hurry.
Xiao Tao poured a cup of tea for Feng Jiuyan, "Miss, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
"Okay." Feng Jiuyan picked up the teacup and sipped the hot tea in it. At the same time, he pricked up his ears and listened to the gossips of the people in the hall.
