She was a little curious. Aren't people against women showing their faces in public? How could a woman be running a shop?
Si Xi approached and realized that this was a custom clothing shop, and the woman was probably an embroiderer or something similar.
"Everyone, stop what you're doing and come eat." Madam Yuan stopped beside Sixi, neatly arranged the dishes Sixi had brought out on the table, and said, "Your manager isn't here today, so I'll treat you to something nice."
She grinned broadly and said, "You've all heard of Xinglong Restaurant. Their food is delicious. Come and try it."
"Yes, thank you, Madam!"
Soon, four or five people gathered around, both men and women, but men made up the majority.

Si Xi quickly buried her head, "No." She deliberately spoke in a rougher voice.

She always thought that women would be looked down upon, but she didn't expect that even though people recognized her as a woman, they still treated her the same way.
The shop assistants didn't look at her strangely; in fact, they were quite concerned about her.
The copper coin in her hand seemed to be slightly warm, just like her heart, which was warming slightly.
Si Xi breathed a sigh of relief, his smile returned, and he carried the food box down the steps.
Perhaps because she felt relieved, she even started humming a little tune.
But as she passed another shop, she seemed to hear shouting and cursing coming from inside.
