The distance between the radish cake stall and the chicken roll stall was only two or three meters. Yun Yue moved from the radish cake stall to the chicken roll stall and then stopped.
"Xiaoyu, do you want some chicken and shredded chicken rolls?"
Ye Lingyu shook her head. She had already eaten her fill at the restaurant and wasn't hungry at all, so she couldn't eat anymore.
Yun Yue shook her head: "You guys don't know how to appreciate good food. You have to eat when it's time to eat."
Cheng Qingyan smiled without saying a word. They had already eaten what they wanted to eat a long time ago, and besides, they were already full.
She was a little curious whether Yun Yue could finish all the food she had bought.
She hadn't even eaten the tangerine peel duck dumplings yet, but she had already bought radish cake and chicken rolls with thin wrappers.
And this was just the beginning, the beginning of their journey into this street.
The snacks are organized into one street, which is convenient for people looking for food. You can buy different kinds of food you like on one street.
You don't need to run around; just walk along this street.
If you walk to the end of a street without carrying anything in your hands, then that street has lost.
Hongyu and Chuiyu now have no less than ten kinds of food in their hands, including soupy bayberry drinks, lotus root cakes, and even cold dishes, such as cold dried lettuce salad.
This was the first time Cheng Qingyan had gone shopping with Yun Yue, and she now realized that she had been too conservative.
Yun Yue was like a cow, walking and stopping, never saying a word.
She was either eating or begging for things from the stall owners. Before buying any food, she would try it first, and if it was delicious, then she would buy it.
Just like with cold dried lettuce salad, she's the type to try it before buying.
Perhaps she had never seen pickled vegetables sold directly from a stall before, or perhaps it was because this dried lettuce was so special that it caught Yun Yue's attention as she passed by.
I stopped at the pickled vegetable stall, tried several kinds of pickled vegetables, and finally chose dried lettuce.
This dried lettuce isn't particularly dry.
Lettuce, after being cut into strips, dried in the sun, and then soaked and rehydrated, is made into a cold dish, which seems to be called "gongcai" in modern times.
It's crunchy and has a unique texture, which Yunyue really likes.
Foodies always meet in places with delicious food.
I ran into an acquaintance in the queue outside a pastry shop that sells nine-layer rich cake.
Who else could it be but Jiang Jiang and Shen Ziyu?
Cheng Qingyan didn't see Jiang Jiang at first glance; she only saw Shen Ziyu in line. Jiang Jiang, Ruan Banxia, and Meng Chuying were sitting in front of a drink stall, enjoying the cool air.
The main reason was that there were many people queuing at this nine-layer rich cake shop. When Yun Yue passed by and saw so many people queuing, she couldn't help but become curious and lingered for a while. Then she saw Shen Ziyu in the middle of the queue.
Shen Ziyu's silver hair was so eye-catching that anyone could recognize her with just a glance.
Judging people by their hair color, look at their hair first and then their face.
Yun Yue saw Jiang Jiang happily drinking at the beverage stall from afar, and immediately forgot about the Nine-Layer Rich Cake: "Qing Yan, go queue up and buy me a serving so I can try it. I'm going to go play with Jiang Jiang now~"
After saying that, she left Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu behind and went to find Jiang Jiang herself.
Shopping is really tiring!
"Wife, why don't you go and rest with Mother and the others? The sun is too strong here. I'll just go queue by myself." Cheng Qingyan pushed Ye Lingyu towards Yun Yue and Jiang Jiang, so they only had to queue and wouldn't have to suffer together.
Ye Lingyu waved her sleeve. Hongyu and Chuiyu had carried some things, and they really needed to rest.
"Then, Ah Yan, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."
"My lady, what are you saying? It's all what I should do. Go and cool off, and buy some cold drinks to cool down."
"Alright~ Go ahead, and come back soon~"
Cheng Qingyan glanced at the queue; there were fewer people now, so it shouldn't be long before it was her turn.
He went up to greet Shen Ziyu first: "Brother Shen, what a coincidence!"
Shen Ziyu wasn't surprised; she knew her aunt's personality well: "Auntie, would you like to try some of the pastries here?"
"Oh, she and my wife went to see Doctor Ruan first, I'm coming to join the queue~"
Shen Ziyu glanced at the end of the line and said, "Just tell me what you need to buy, and I'll buy it for you. Why bother queuing up again?"
Cheng Qingyan smiled sheepishly, "I might need to buy a lot, so I'll queue up myself."
"Isn't that too formal? Go and rest, I'll buy it for you."
After hesitating for only a moment, Cheng Qingyan said, "Then please bring me three portions of each of their ten best-selling pastries, three portions of walnut and cashew sticky pastries, and two portions of the Seven-Skill Pastry Platter. That's all."
Shen Ziyu thought she had misheard and asked Cheng Qingyan for confirmation: "You said they sell the best pastries, three portions of each of the top ten categories? Three portions of walnut and cashew sticky pastries? Two portions of the seven-piece dessert platter?"
After confirming, Cheng Qingyan nodded: "That's right, that's how it is."
At this moment, Shen Ziyu wondered if Jiang Jiang and Cheng Qingyan were really not related by blood, otherwise why would the two of them order such similar desserts?
"Jiang Jiang just said something similar, which is not much different from what you want to buy."
"...Well, well, I can eat a lot..."
Whether Shen Ziyu believes it or not, she will buy it according to Jiang Jiang and Cheng Qingyan's request. But with so many pastries and the hot weather, aren't they afraid of them spoiling?
Does the Qixi Festival here also involve social interactions?
Soon it was Shen Ziyu's turn. After she told the shopkeeper what she needed to buy, the shopkeeper's face broke into a smile.
This big client is truly rare; he practically single-handedly accounted for half a day's revenue.
Hundreds of pastries were packed and stacked up. Cheng Qingyan was about to help carry them when Shen Ziyu waved to the back, and several people came out from the crowd and took all the pastries away.
Cheng Qingyan rolled her eyes. Having servants doesn't make you special!
That's really amazing.
Otherwise, given Yun Yue and Jiang Jiang's purchasing power, wouldn't all of them have to become bag carriers, and that wouldn't even be enough?
Fortunately, most of the servants and maids that Yun Yue brought with her this time were left in the town, and now they are coming in handy.
Next to the beverage stall, Yun Yue and Jiang Jiang were chatting happily. When they saw Shen Ziyu and Cheng Qingyan coming over, Jiang Jiang and Yun Yue reached out their hands to ask for some snacks.
The servants placed a pile of snacks on the table, completely blocking their view.
Yun Yue pushed the pastry box away: "Let's put it away first and look at it later~"
Jiang Jiang nodded behind a pile of snacks. If she hadn't stood up and been humming, she would have been completely hidden by the snacks on the table.
The servants took the pastries off the table again, so they could go ahead and deliver some of them to Cheng Qingyan's house.
Cheng Qingyan found it quite convenient to have servants, and perhaps he should hire two maids to help Ye Lingyu with some chores.
