Chapter 610: Take one last look at Jiliao City
"Just when I was worried, I met Fan Chengxu. I had only seen him once from a distance. I heard others mention him and knew that although he was from the Fan family, he was a maverick who did not love power and love money. It just so happened that he She is not young anymore, and is being arranged for a marriage by the Fan family."
"I thought we might be able to give it a try, so I secretly asked my maid to deliver a letter to him, met with him privately, told him my thoughts, and also revealed to him that I was the person behind Tongdetang. As a boss, he was indeed very interested in me and agreed to my proposal to get married to me."
Wei Ruo smiled and said: "I was quite surprised when I saw your letter saying this. Now it seems that you two are quite suitable. For example, this time you took such a big risk to come to Jiliao to find me, he He actually came with you, he must be treating you well."
"He treated me really well. I really made the right bet. I have lived very smoothly in the past three years after marriage. He also took me to many places and saw a lot of new things. This was something that neither my father nor my brother had ever taken me to see before." of."
Seeing the light in Xie Ying's eyes and the joy on her face when she spoke, Wei Ruo couldn't help but feel happy for her.
"That's good. I'm glad that your marriage can be as you originally wished."
"It's what I originally wished for, but..." Xie Ying pursed her lips, swallowed the words that came to her lips, and then said, "Ruoruo, please take me around for a walk. I feel like Ji Ji is like this now. Liao is very interesting and different from what I thought."
Okay. Wei Ruo agreed readily.
It just so happened that she took one last look at the small city she had built with her own hands.
Wei Ruo knew in her heart that no matter whether she succeeded or failed when she went to the capital, she might never have the chance to come back.
Then lets go change into mens clothes. Xie Ying said.
No need, just go out like this.
"Seriously? I plan to go to your restaurant for a while."
"There are not many aristocratic families in Jiliao City, and most of them are common people. Women from civilian families often come out to make a living, and I have never been a woman who stays peacefully in the house from the beginning. Therefore, Jiliao City has never had any What are the restrictions on Miss Qianjin? Apart from Fireworks and Willow Alley, there are probably no places we cant go."
"That's great. I like things with few rules! In the capital city, you have to be crowded with people. You have to avoid restaurants and teahouses with many people, or you have to book the place, which is very troublesome. "
Lets go. Wei Ruo took Xie Ying out.
There is an east-west avenue outside the main entrance of Prince Rui's Mansion, and a north-south avenue on the left and right sides. The east-west avenue is particularly spacious and can accommodate two four-horse carriages driving side by side.
At the same time, this street is also the most prosperous commercial street in Jiliao City, with various shops outside.
Among them, Wei Ruo's own shop is naturally indispensable: Sibaozhai, Daiyueju, Luwei Shop, and Miliang Shop all have branches.
There is no curfew in Jiliao City, and there are still shops open on the street even after Sishi.
It is now noon, when the streets are lively.
However, it is still a little quieter than usual, because during the national mourning period, parties, weddings and banquets are prohibited as a mark of mourning.
Fortunately, the late emperor had issued an edict earlier, mentioning matters after his death, requesting that everything should be simplified. Farming and trade should continue as normal during the national mourning period, in order not to affect the normal life and production of the people, and not to provide relief to the already suffering people. Life is getting worse.
Xie Ying was dazzled by these shops: "I wanted to visit these shops when I came here, but I was so anxious to see you that I didn't bother."
Wei Ruo smiled, feeling warmed by Xie Ying's actions.
What are you selling over there? It smells so good! Xie Ying asked, pointing to the shop in front of her.
Those are fried potatoes. Wei Ruodao.
Fried potatoes? Are they delicious?
Most of the shops that can be opened on this street will taste good.
Then Im going to give it a try.
Xie Ying happily ran to the shop selling fried potatoes.
There are round golden **** of similar sizes rolling in the oil pan.
How do you sell this, boss? Xie Ying asked.
Five cents a share.
"Give me one." Xie Ying asked for a portion of potatoes. When she got it, she was about to pay, but the boss refused.
"You are the princess's guest. We don't charge you any money. You can eat whatever you want." The boss said with a naive smile.
Xie Ying turned to look at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo stood here. The boss recognized her, but was not frightened and continued to run the shop as usual.
Xie Ying was confused for a while, but she still put the five cents on the counter, then took the fried potatoes packed in oil paper bags and pulled Wei Ruo away.
"Ruoruo, they know you, but they don't salute you. They seem to be used to you walking on the street." Xie Ying expressed her doubts.
"Well, I asked them not to salute. Because I often come to this street. If they have to salute every time they see me, it will be very inconvenient and will also cause trouble to me." Wei Ruo explained.
Thats it. Xie Ying nodded clearly, then picked up the bamboo skewer in the oil paper bag, pierced a fried hot potato and put it in her mouth.
After taking two bites, Xie Yings eyes lit up.
It smells so good! Its crispy on the outside, soft, sweet, and salty on the inside. It tastes very good! Xie Ying couldnt help but praise.
Xie Ying then said to Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, this thing has a bit of your craftsmanship. The rich seasoning is very much like your work."
Very keen.
What do you mean? Is it really your work?
I taught him.
Thats your shop?
"no."
Then why did you teach him?
"I can make a lot of food. If I sell it all myself, how can I get it? I teach him, he will have another skill, and there will be another gourmet restaurant in Jiliao City, why not? And I want to eat it myself When I go out, I can eat it without having to prepare it myself, so why wouldnt I do it?
Wei Ruo not only taught this one boss, but also opened several small restaurants on the street under Wei Ruo's instruction.
What you said makes sense! Xie Ying couldnt help but agree.
After saying that, I couldnt help but ate the fried potatoes.
Just after eating one, Xie Ying's attention was attracted by another shop in front.
She pulled Wei Ruo over again: "Boss, give me a piece of this too."
Okay, Sir, please wait a moment.
The boss responded and started to do it.
Xie Ying asked: "What is this?"
This is grilled cold noodles.
Cold noodles? Where is the noodles?
This piece of skin is the dough.
"I see."
Xie Ying got another piece of grilled cold noodles and ate it with relish.
Throughout the afternoon, Xie Ying was like a curious and playful child, active in the neighborhood of Jiliao City.
While sighing at the uniqueness of Jiliao City, I tried various delicacies in Jiliao City.
