Su Luo didn't understand the market situation, but she had already asked Xu San on the way here, and knew that Manager Duan was favoring her by charging ten cents per pound, so Su Luo smiled and nodded.
"As for this snake, it's in excellent condition and fresh, having just died, so it's perfect for making wine. So I bought it privately. How about three taels of silver for you?"
Xu San had previously told Su Luo about the price of the snake, so Su Luo nodded: "Not bad."
Shopkeeper Duan laughed and said, "Girl, you're not petty. If you have prey in the future, bring it to Hongsheng Restaurant. With Xu San's relationship, we won't treat you unfairly."
Su Luo smiled and nodded.
After receiving three taels and fifty coins, Xu San said to Su Luo, "I drove an ox cart into town. Please wait for me for a moment. After I help Uncle Duan make the medicinal wine, I will drive the cart back to the village with you."
It would be great to have a free oxcart ride. Su Luo asked, "How long will it take you?"
Xu San: "Half an hour is enough."
Su Luo: "Alright, we're going to the market to do some shopping, you go ahead."
As she spoke, Su Luo pulled Zhao Erya and Zhao Xiaowu out.
As soon as Su Luo left, Shopkeeper Duan asked Xu San, "Although this girl is wearing a rough and tattered skirt, she has an aura that is much more impressive than me when she stands there. What's wrong with this girl?"
Xu San then told the story of how the Zhao family picked up Su Luo.
Shopkeeper Duan sighed, "The Zhao family can't afford to support this girl, and you—"
Shopkeeper Duan glanced at Xu San and sternly warned him, "That girl is obviously from a noble family. Don't let your inappropriate thoughts come to you just because she's temporarily down in the village. She's a young phoenix, soaring to the sky is not something you can achieve."
"Oh my Uncle Duan, how could you have seen me having any feelings for her? A girl as fierce as her, capable of severing limbs with a single blow, I wouldn't dare have any inappropriate thoughts. I actually think... I'd be better off being her servant."
"That's how you should think." Shopkeeper Duan nodded. "When that girl glanced over at me, not only you... but even I felt inferior to her, as if I wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her. It was really strange."
…
Su Luo didn't know about the conversation between Manager Duan and Xu San. At this moment, she was taking the two children of the Zhao family shopping.
"Do you know where the shop for daily necessities is?" Su Luo asked.
Zhao Xiaowu raised his hands excitedly: "I know, I know! Brother Xu San took me there before!"
"Where is it?"
"It's on the same street as Luo's steamed bun shop."
Su Luo: "Let's go, we have money now, let's go to Luo's Baozi first."
"Wow--"
Zhao Erya and Zhao Xiaowu's eyes were shining and they were swallowing their saliva.
Soon, Luo’s Meat Bun Shop arrived.
"Gurgle——" Zhao Erya swallowed her saliva.
"Gurgle--" Zhao Xiaowu also swallowed his saliva.
Luo's Meat Bun Shop is an old shop that has been open for many years. There are three or four waiters busy in the shop. When they saw Su Luo and the others come in, a young waiter about thirteen or fourteen years old came up to greet them with a smile.
"Would you three like to dine in or take away?"
Su Luo asked, "Dine in."
The waiter said, "Okay, please come in."
Su Luo originally thought that in a thriving ancestral shop like this, the shop assistants would easily become snobs who looked down on the powerful and flattered the weak. However... the shop assistants in the Luo family shop were quite nice. When they saw them wearing patched clothes, they didn't show any disgust or impatience.
