Qibao was confident. He had seen the rouge and powder here. No matter how finely they were made, they could not compare to the cosmetics made with ingredients extracted from various animals and plants by modern equipment.
There are all kinds of things like liquid foundation, loose powder, setting spray, eyeshadow palettes, and the styles are much more than those of this era.
Thanks to the Seven Treasures Space, there are still quite a few of them. They are probably left by the owner of the space at that time. She doesn't need these normally, but this time she can take them out to earn more money so as not to waste them. Anyway, the space has a regeneration function.
The others also listened carefully to the conversation between the two and believed in Qibao completely. As long as Qibao said it, he was absolutely sure of it.
"Sister, I believe in you. With the full gift event you mentioned, we can definitely earn more money." Xiaowu looked at Qibao with some admiration and said.
Uncle Xu also nodded seriously. He knew better than anyone how smart his niece was. Since childhood, his father had been worried that Qibao would get hurt because of her excessive intelligence. But now Qibao has grown up and everything is fine. The other people in the Xu family also breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Wenwu touched his sister's head, his eyes full of pity, but he didn't say anything.
He knew very well that his current situation was all thanks to his younger sister. He should have been the eldest brother and should have done all these things, but instead, all of them fell on his younger sister's tender shoulders. The only thing he could do now was to get a good result in this scientific examination so that he could be his sister's support and let his sister rely on him as her older brother when she was tired.
Everyone was chatting while paying attention to the situation outside the carriage. Su Chenyu lifted the curtain again and looked out, saying, "We're here."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and when the carriage stopped, everyone jumped out.
"Zhi Yan, just stay here and watch the carriage. I'll pack some food for you later." Xu Wenwu ordered.
"Yes, sir."
"Is this the place?" Xiao Wu looked curiously towards the busy alley in front of him.
Although it is called an alley, it does not seem narrow at all, but rather quite wide. Although it is not as prosperous as the city center with many attics, it is surrounded by people's houses and does not look dilapidated. However, you can tell that it is a bit old from the black and yellow walls, and it does have a bit of the flavor of human life.
The people coming and going are ordinary civilians in simple clothes, and you can hear the hawkers shouting their wares. They are all busy working for a living, and they are all wearing coarse linen clothes, but they don't have any patches on them.
Seeing so many people suddenly dressed in a way that didn't fit in with their appearance, the people passing by looked at them curiously and subconsciously kept a few steps away from Qibao and his group, fearing that they would accidentally bump into them.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes from all around, the few of them calmly walked towards the alley entrance.
"There is a wonton shop that tastes pretty good. I'll take you there to try it." Su Chenyu said.
Everyone nodded, and Xiao Wu said with a smile, "I didn't expect that a rich young man like you, Brother Su, is so worldly-wise! You even know which place has the best food here!"
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "As long as it's delicious, I don't ask where it comes from. But I haven't eaten here for a long time, and I don't know if it still tastes the same as before."
"Brother Su, you have always been picky about food, so I trust you. Please lead the way quickly. My stomach is already starting to feel hungry." Xiao Wu urged.
Su Chenyu smiled and quickened his pace.
"Selling rice cakes, sweet and white rice cakes!"
"Lotus leaf chicken, fragrant and tender lotus leaf chicken, would you like to try my lotus leaf chicken? If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you."
The stall owner selling lotus leaf chicken looked at Qibao and his companions passing by, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"How much do you sell your lotus leaf chicken for?" Qibao smelled the aroma of chicken and thought it was good, so he asked.
"Sir, my lotus leaf chicken is fifty cents each." The stall owner rubbed his hands awkwardly and said with a smile on his face.
It wasn't expensive. They looked at the lotus leaf chicken being warmed on the stove. It was called a stove, but in fact it was just a clay stove with a smooth surface. On top of it was a flat-bottomed iron pot, and on top of the iron pot was a large steamer, which was emitting hot steam. The lotus leaf chicken was neither too big nor too small. They estimated that they would need to buy two to be enough for them.
The stall owner saw Qibao looking at his earthen stove for a while, and then quickly said, "Sir, although my stove is made of rammed earth, my chickens are all clean. My wife cleans each chicken several times, so they will definitely not get sick."
"Pack two for me." Qibao said without explanation.
"Okay, okay, sir, I'll pack it for you right away." The stall owner said with a smile.
Soon two servings of lotus leaf chicken were packed.
"Sir, here is your lotus leaf chicken."
Qibao took the lotus leaf chicken and thanked them, and then everyone continued to move forward.
Seeing this, several vendors nearby also became excited. Seeing that Qibao and his friends all had kind expressions, they plucked up their courage and shouted loudly to them about the things they bought.
Qibao didn't say anything. They were all trying to make a living, so she bought some food or gadgets that interested her. If someone hadn't helped her carry them, she would have been unable to hold them all with her hands.
Finally, after they had walked for about an incense stick's time, Su Chenyu pointed to a stall and said, "This is it." As he spoke, he showed a nostalgic expression.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder how Su Chenyu, a young man from a wealthy family, got involved here.
As I approached the stall, I saw an elderly couple in their sixties busy at the stall. Although their hair was a little gray, their hands and feet were nimble and they looked in good spirits.
"Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, please give us seven bowls of wontons."
The two old men paused their busy hands when they heard this. People who knew them, or customers who often came to their stall to eat, only called them Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. Few called them Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang. They looked up in confusion towards the voice.
"Are you...Chenyu?"
Old Man Jiang asked uncertainly.
"It's me. Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, don't you recognize Chenyu?" Su Chenyu asked with a smile.
"Oh! It's really Chenyu. I haven't seen her for so long that I didn't recognize her." Jiang Bo laughed out loud in surprise.
"Chenyu, how come you have time to come here? The old man and I often talk about you!" Aunt Jiang said with a smile.
"Chenyu hasn't visited Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang for almost a year. Today I had some free time and came out for a stroll with my friends, so I thought of coming to see you two. I haven't eaten the wontons you made for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for me to bring my friends over to try them." Su Chenyu said.
The two elders looked at the people around Su Chenyu and were suddenly at a loss. They were all rich young men dressed in gorgeous robes like Su Chenyu, and they seemed out of place in their simple stall.
