Chapter 228 Buying Food



The money she gave Ye Lingyu was just some money she had brought to town; she had more elsewhere.

Moreover, as long as Cheng Qingyan doesn't gamble or do anything messy, even if he lives a life of extravagance every day, he still won't be able to spend all the cash in the Prince's mansion.

Not to mention restoring Cheng Qingyan's identity and granting her a title later on, the rewards she deserves alone would be more than she could ever spend.

Although the restaurants in this town are nothing compared to the Wangfu's businesses, at least they are what Cheng Qingyan earned through her own efforts. For an ordinary person, owning a restaurant and hundreds of acres of land is already considered a very good life.

Unfortunately, Yun Yue didn't know that Cheng Qingyan was someone with a cheat code, and that she herself was no ordinary person.

She's an enhanced version of an ordinary person, empowered by Jiang Jiang's mysterious potion, making her far more powerful than the average person. Just look at how she can now wield a knife and chop people down; her skills are now on par with those other people.

We started shopping after finishing our meal.

The streets in the town weren't very wide to begin with, but fortunately the stalls and shops were well-organized and not haphazardly placed, otherwise some of the streets would have been taken up.

There are already many lantern stalls on the street, which means that Qixi Festival is here and the Ghost Festival is also approaching.

Paper folds were used to make river lanterns in various shapes, as well as masks of all kinds, including demons, monsters, and cute animals.

This trip was mainly for strolling around, relaxing, and buying some snacks and decorations.

On the Qixi Festival, one must decorate the courtyard to show sincerity and pray to heaven for skillful hands.

Perhaps because they had eaten too many pastries, Cheng Qingyan felt thirsty not long after they left. They could only find a drink stall and each bought a drink.

She carried a bowl of ice-cold lychee syrup herself and led the way.

At first glance, half of the street is lined with food stalls.

There were noodle stalls, wonton stalls, fried snack stalls, as well as sesame seed cake stalls, steamed bun stalls, pastry stalls, and so on and so forth—all kinds of food.

For local delicacies, the ones sold on the streets are the most authentic.

Holding a bowl of drinks, Yun Yue sighed, "I wish I hadn't eaten breakfast at the restaurant. I don't think I'd get hungry walking around here."

Ye Lingyu, who was also holding a glass of rose dew, echoed, "When I came here with Ayan and Jiangjiang before, we were already full before we even finished walking down this street."

"Not only did we eat our fill, but we also bought a lot of things, big and small."

Yun Yue imagined the scene: Cheng Qingyan carrying a lot of things, and Jiang Jiang holding onto her clothes to prevent her from running away. The family was shopping together, which was quite heartwarming.

Cheng Qingyan walked at the front, glancing into every shop she passed. Without a doubt, Jiang Jiang and the others were on this street.

She just hasn't seen it yet, and doesn't know what Jiang Jiang bought recently.

Jiang Jiang hasn't been out for a while. Will she engage in revenge spending? I wonder if Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu's wallets can withstand it.

Regardless of Shen Ziyu, Ruan Banxia's wallet should be alright, after all, she only received a few hundred taels from Shen Ziyu.

Cheng Qingyan doesn't yet know how Jiang Jiang will spend her money, but Yun Yue has already started spending.

As Cheng Qingyan walked ahead, he felt something was missing. He turned around and saw Ye Lingyu and Yun Yue standing in front of someone else's dumpling stall, unable to move.

Cheng Qingyan, who had returned, took on the responsibility of paying the bill: a serving of tangerine peel duck dumplings cost ten coins.

Yun Yue ordered one for herself, but Ye Lingyu wasn't interested in it.

"Shop owner, can I pack this up and take it with me?"

The dumpling stall owner smiled broadly: "You can take it with you, but you'll have to pay an extra two coins. We have bamboo bowls here, which come with spoons."

Isn't this just like the cost of takeout containers in real life?

Charging for a package deal makes some sense, but Cheng Qingyan still feels it's not entirely reasonable.

Why is this bundled pricing issue being raised now?

After paying two coins for the takeout and cutlery, Chuiyu followed behind carrying the takeout dumplings. Because they were too hot, Chuiyu would call Yunyue to take a bite once they cooled down.

Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu had never tried the tangerine peel duck dumplings before, so they didn't know what they tasted like.

However, the tableware that was being packaged looked somewhat familiar to them.

It's just a thicker section of bamboo tube, with a carrying rope and a wooden spoon.

Cheng Qingyan glanced at the drink she had bought, and the remaining serving dish after she finished eating...

It's not that they're exactly the same, but rather that they're completely identical.

This time, Cheng Qingyan learned her lesson and was afraid of losing Ye Lingyu and Yun Yue, so she didn't dare to walk too far ahead. She only kept a distance of two or three steps and would look back from time to time.

Thankfully, she looked back and saw that Yun Yue was standing in front of the radish cake stall again, and bought a serving of radish cake.

Cheng Qingyan gave Hongyu some silver in case she arrived late and Hongyu had to pay. Although she knew Ye Lingyu also had money, Hongyu could use it to buy whatever she wanted.

After giving Hongyu a few taels of silver, he also gave Chuiyu a few taels of silver, emphasizing fairness.

Chuiyu has served Yunyue since she was a child. The fact that she came to see Yunyue with her this time shows that Yunyue is very satisfied with and trusts Chuiyu.

The personal maid of the princess in the royal palace would naturally receive a high monthly salary, but a monthly salary is a monthly salary, and what Cheng Qingyan gives is what Cheng Qingyan gives; the two cannot be compared.

When Yun Yue saw this, she also asked Cheng Qingyan for money: "They all have money, and Xiao Yu and I need some too."

Cheng Qingyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mother, don't fight with them. I'll buy you whatever you want. Besides, you're not short of money, are you?"

Yun Yue sighed and spread her hands: "It's all gone, all gone. I gave it all to you. I never carry money with me. I gave you all the money that Chui Yu carried. If you don't believe me, ask Chui Yu."

Before Cheng Qingyan could ask, Chuiyu nodded.

Cheng Qingyan was speechless. Who gives away all their money as a gift?

What's the difference between this and giving half and leaving half? Besides, these people don't even know how long they'll be staying here.

Cheng Qingyan gave Yun Yue a handful of loose silver coins and Ye Lingyu a handful of loose silver coins. She didn't know exactly how much, but they were all stored in her spatial storage, and she just grabbed them casually.

Yun Yue curiously rummaged through Cheng Qingyan's purse and asked, "Your little purse can hold quite a lot of money."

Sure enough, the handful of loose silver coins given to Yun Yue filled her purse, but unexpectedly, she gave Ye Lingyu another handful. Now, it would take two purses to hold them all.

It's no wonder Yun Yue was curious about how her small purse could hold so much silver.

Cheng Qingyan lied without batting an eye: "You thought I had only one purse? Actually, I have three identical purses, look~"

He casually grabbed three purses from his bosom, and they appeared in front of Yun Yue.

Yun Yue ignored her and went to buy things with the silver.
