After all, she owns so many shops. As the behind-the-scenes manager, she needs some kind of identification; she can't just go to her own shop one day without money and be kicked out.
After getting ready, they went out to the street with Jiang Jiang and the others in a lively atmosphere.
This was Cheng Qingyan's first time strolling around Yuanning County without any burden. Before, she was either busy with something or in a hurry to go back, and hadn't had a chance to properly experience the local customs and atmosphere of the county.
After browsing through only a few shops, Cheng Qingyan handed his identity token to Ruan Banxia and then fled with Ye Lingyu.
She just wanted to have a date with Ye Lingyu and didn't want to bring a bunch of third wheels.
Hidden among the passing crowd, Cheng Qingyan held Ye Lingyu's hand as they strolled along.
Passing by a small stall selling dough figurines, Cheng Qingyan immediately stopped and pulled Ye Lingyu over.
When the dough figurine vendor saw the customer arrive, he greeted him warmly: "Young master, madam, do you see anything you like? If not, I can make one on the spot based on your description."
Cheng Qingyan had only stopped out of interest, but upon closer inspection, she was astonished by the incredible skill in crafting these dough figurines. The details of the figurines were meticulously crafted, making them remarkably lifelike.
"Please make a pair of dough figurines for me, based on the likeness of my wife and me, and make them as detailed as possible."
The dough figurine vendor smiled and said, "The young man and his wife are truly a perfect match, deeply in love. I guarantee that the figurine I make for the young man will be as handsome as the real thing."
Wow, do dough figurines come with free compliments? These few coins are definitely worth it.
The dough figurine vendor worked quickly, making a few strokes and soon he had captured Cheng Qingyan's figure and face. Then the vendor glanced at Cheng Qingyan before bending down to continue carving on the dough figurine.
Once the two dough figurines were finished, Cheng Qingyan held them in her hands and felt that they were similar to modern figurines, only not as refined.
Especially Ye Lingyu's, her beauty and gentleness were fully revealed on the small clay figurine.
Holding up the two dough figurines, Cheng Qingyan gave the dough figurine stall owner a considerable amount of money as a reward for his satisfactory work.
Then she handed her dough figurine to Ye Lingyu: "Wife, look, is the dough figurine prettier, or am I prettier?"
The clay figurine of Cheng Qingyan appears more robust than she actually is; perhaps the stall owner thought she was too thin and made a slight alteration to her figure.
Ye Lingyu turned the clay figure around, looked at it, and finally said definitively, "Of course, my Ayan is the most beautiful~"
I won't fall for your words. The clay figure is Cheng Qingyan, and the person standing in front of me is also Cheng Qingyan. If you insist on distinguishing between good-looking and bad-looking, isn't this just a trap?
Seeing that Ye Lingyu hadn't fallen for the trick, but that the answer had struck a chord with Cheng Qingyan, her little face lit up with pride as she looked at the stall owner with a smug grin.
"My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world~"
The stall owner, already an elderly man with graying hair, never expected to be subjected to such a sweet attack from the person before him. What terrible thing had he done to deserve this? Why didn't he check the almanac before setting up his stall today?
But these young people nowadays are really something, showing affection in any situation, it makes him blush.
As they left, satisfied with their dough figurines, the dough figurine vendor and the sachet vendor next to them exchanged a glance, smiled, and simultaneously looked in the direction the two had gone.
The air was filled with the clamor of voices, and the cries of vendors from both sides of the street were incessant. The county seat of Yuanning County was much more prosperous than the town, with shops lining both sides of the streets. Teahouses, restaurants, and other establishments were neatly arranged on both sides of the wide streets, and carriages and pedestrians shuttled back and forth on the roads.
In front of the shops, either the shopkeeper or the staff are explaining things to customers, and there are signs advertising special offers. The area in front of the shops is crowded with people, not much different from a modern commercial street.
This is the street with the most shops owned by Cheng Qingyan. These ideas for attracting customers, such as clearly displaying and listing the discounted items to encourage orderly purchases, were also her ideas.
Prices are clearly marked and no bargaining is allowed.
Shops offering special prices are likely launching new products and clearing out previously accumulated inventory.
Driven by a desire to join in the fun, Cheng Qingyan dragged Ye Lingyu to the discount shop to check it out. Unexpectedly, they ran into Luo Ji there, who was explaining the new products to someone.
The new product is a newly launched soap, a fruit-scented soap.
The herbal and floral scented soaps we launched before have become classics. The fruity scents and cute animal shapes are very popular among young people.
People with young children at home are very interested in cute fruit-flavored soaps, after all, this soap is specially made for young children.
It was originally made for Jiangjiang, who really liked the fox-shaped soap. She even used her own fox-shaped soap for bathing and washing her face.
Later, Cheng Qingyan made her new little fox and kitten shapes so that she could distinguish which bar was for bathing and which was for washing her face by the shape of the soap.
Luo Ji was busy, so Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu didn't disturb him and squeezed out from the crowd.
Cheng Qingyan held up her clay figurine: "Wife, give me your clay figurine, I'll put it away for you."
Holding onto it like this for too long wasn't a good idea, so Ye Lingyu gave her the dough figurine and the fruit she had just bought from the roadside.
The fruit was green, and she forgot what it was called. She bought it from an old lady who said it was picked from the mountain and was a seasonal wild fruit.
At first, the fruit looked very green and pretty. Later, Cheng Qingyan tried one; it wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly delicious either.
The reason she bought some was mainly because the old lady was very kind. She not only gave her a fruit but also gave Ye Lingyu one, one for each of them to try. She felt a little embarrassed if she didn't buy any after they had tried them.
"Wife, can you smell something? It smells nice." Cheng Qingyan sniffed, and a fried smell wafted over from not far away.
Ye Lingyu glanced over there: "Fried wontons, crispy skin and fragrant filling, you have a very sharp nose."
"Hehehe, I want to eat it, my wife, buy it for me~"
"Okay~ I'll buy it for you, whatever you want to eat~"
The woman, quite content, dragged Ye Lingyu to the fried wonton stall. It smelled delicious from a distance, but the aroma was even stronger up close. Although there was a slight smoky oil smell, the golden-brown wontons frying in the pan looked incredibly appetizing.
Seeing the golden wontons tumbling in the hot oil, Cheng Qingyan quickly said, "Give me an order of fried wontons."
The stall owner announced loudly, "Alright! Please wait a moment, sirs, the fried wontons will be ready soon!"
There's nothing urgent today. The main thing is to accompany Ye Lingyu for a walk, have some fun, and relax.
