Just as the two were at an impasse, Yun Zhizhi quickly stepped forward, gently patted He Yang's shoulder, and advised, "Alright, alright, it's better to avoid trouble. We don't need to argue with them endlessly."
Fifteen minutes later.
Three plainly decorated carriages slowly drove up and finally stopped in an open space not far from the entrance of Chunfeng Tower.
Chen Sheng was the first to jump off the carriage.
He was agile and quick, and after landing, he didn't stop for a moment, but ran straight towards a stall not far away.
Closely following behind him were Fan Yulin and Ma Yidao.
The three of them came with a very clear goal: to find Yun Zhizhi.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them strode to the stall like arrows released from a bow.
However, at this moment, Chen Sheng, who was originally anxious, suddenly seemed to be frozen in place, and stood there blankly without moving.
Seeing this, Fan Yulin frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Chen, have we come to the wrong place? Didn't you say that Yun Zhizhi would be setting up a stall here? But where is she now?"
He is from Hezhou and just arrived in Beijing yesterday.
Although he was in a different place, he still knew something about Yun Zhizhi's appearance because he had seen her portrait before.
But the woman dressed as a maid who appeared in front of him at this moment did not look like Yun Zhizhi at all.
Ma Yidao, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "That's right! Wasn't it said that Yun Zhizhi and her partner, one fat and one thin, were easy to spot when they were setting up their stalls? Why didn't I see them? Instead, I saw this pair of toad spirits, one red and one green."
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "This bizarre sight is simply unbelievable!"
I had long heard that the capital city was a prosperous place where all sorts of strange and wonderful things happened.
I never expected to run into him today!
It seems this trip was definitely worthwhile.
Chen Sheng frowned slightly, his mouth slightly open, and he muttered to himself with a suspicious look: "How strange, could the information I found today be false?"
Yun Zhizhi, shifting her frog-like feet, gave an embarrassed smile and pointed to He Yang beside her, saying:
"Actually, the two of us are the people you're looking for. I am Yun Zhizhi. I wonder if you've come here specifically to buy dolls?"
Being pointed at and called a toad spirit to her face made Yun Zhizhi feel somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, she was wearing a frog mascot costume, which completely concealed her real face and expression, so no one could detect her embarrassment and awkwardness.
Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng's eyes widened in astonishment, and he stammered, "You...you bright red toad spirit, could you really be the legendary, famous street vendor leader—Yun Zhizhi?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi humbly replied, "I dare not accept such a reputation; I am merely a small vendor with a stall."
Just as the two were talking, Fan Yulin, who was standing to the side, suddenly interjected: "Miss Yun, your unique outfit is truly eye-catching! And the dolls you sell are also distinctive, novel and beautiful."
He paused briefly, his gaze slowly sweeping across the stall's surroundings, as if searching for something.
He then sniffed hard, frowned slightly, and asked with a puzzled look, "But I came here specifically for the stinky tofu. Hmm! That's strange, why can't I smell even a trace of stench?"
Ma Yidao blinked, his face full of anticipation, and stared at Yun Zhizhi, asking, "I came all the way from Yizhou Prefecture next door. Do you sell ice cream? I really want to try some!"
"And me! I came all the way from the distant Yunzhou Prefecture just to taste that mouthwatering, numbing, spicy and hot Malatang."
After speaking, Chen Sheng also looked around curiously, but he still couldn't find any ingredients or tools needed to make mala tang.
So he couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Are you not selling mala tang today?"
Yun Zhizhi never expected that the snacks and delicacies she sold at her stall had spread to every corner of the entire Chu Yun Kingdom.
What surprised her even more was that these people from different places would go to great lengths and travel long distances to come to the capital just to taste that delicacy.
It is very regrettable.
This time, it seems we're going to disappoint these three hopeful guests.
Yun Zhizhi looked troubled and said apologetically, "Everyone, I'm so sorry! I'm afraid you won't be able to buy those delicious foods you've been longing to try today. Because this time, I'm only selling cute plush toys."
"However, if you happen to be interested in these novel and interesting gadgets, I can offer you some discounts."
Upon hearing this, the three men's faces were filled with undisguised disappointment, as if they had suffered a major blow.
At this moment, He Yang quickly stepped forward and gently comforted them: "Don't be so downcast, everyone. Since we have come all the way to this bustling capital, if you have children at home, why not pick out a cute doll to take back as a souvenir? It will make the children happy!"
Hearing He Yang's thoughtful words, everyone's mood improved slightly.
Finally, after careful selection, Yun Zhizhi generously gave them a 30% discount.
Looking at him now, Chen Sheng was carefully holding a medium-sized baby seal, his eyes full of affection.
Fan Yulin held a pink strawberry bear in his left hand and an adorable Shiba Inu in his right, his face beaming with happiness.
Ma Yidao, on the other hand, held a large Lazy Sheep tightly in his arms, as if afraid it would suddenly run away.
Despite having bought the dolls they wanted, they left with some regret and disappointment because their initial expectations were not fully met.
