Chapter 258: Shopping
Hearing his son say this, Barlow was a little relieved: "Alas, it seems that your teacher is really good to you, and he sends servants to pick you up every day." ”
"No, Mr. Tom and Mr. Jerry are both magicians!
“......”
"You actually sent two magicians to send you to and from school?"
Both Barlow and Mara had surprises on their faces.
"Yes, there are a lot of magicians there, Teacher, Sister Anne, Sister Shirley, Sister Lilia, and Glengo...... Brother ......" Pedi said this, suddenly paused for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Barlow was a little strange when he saw Pedi talking.
"That, that Brother Gülen...... It's His Majesty the Emperor......" Pei Di whispered.
"What?" Barlow didn't hear.
"Brother Glenn, it's our Emperor's Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you mean Your Majesty?" Barlow and Mara almost didn't jump.
"Yes, he goes to the palace during the day and returns to the magic tower at night. ”
"His Majesty the Emperor lives with your teacher?"
"No, no, no, the teacher lives on the sixth floor, and Brother Gülen and I live on the fifth floor, just two rooms apart. ”
Barlow and Mara felt dizzy, feeling a little unfamiliar with their son, who had been raised since childhood.
......
Peidi's home is in the south of the imperial capital, near the city gate, and their family mainly makes a living by reselling some fruits and vegetables sent to the city by farmers outside the city.
It's April, and the first batch of vegetables has already started to hit the market, but the quantity is not very large, so it is not very busy.
When Frandy came out of the magic car near Pedy's house, he saw that the market near the city gate was full of people, and all kinds of cries and sales were endless, and he couldn't help but feel itched for a while.
He hadn't been shopping for a long time, so he simply sent the magic car back to the Magic Tower through the portal, and then came back to experience the joy of shopping.
It's almost past lunchtime, but fortunately, there are plenty of snacks on the street, and Franky has taken a lot of change such as copper and silver coins to buy some food.
Although the taste is not very good, but fortunately, there are many types, and after only half a day of shopping, he has already eaten a little bit.
These snacks are made of all kinds of strange plants, even he can't recognize some of them, and the taste is very strange, but it is more than rare.
Passing by a cloth shop, many people rushed to buy it, and Franky squeezed up to take a look, and found that the main thing for sale was some linen.
With the beginning of the textile factory, the price of linen cloth in the imperial capital fell again and again, and even some poor people among the common people began to have the idea of making new clothes for themselves.
It's just that the color is too single, basically all of the primary colors of linen cloth with a little yellow, and the fabrics that are dyed into other colors are still a bit expensive.
People don't care, linen-colored clothes are meant to be worn by the general public, and at least ninety percent of the people on the streets are wearing clothes of this color.
He continued to walk forward as he walked, and he would go in some of the shops for a walk, but there was nothing eye-catching.
Now that he is out on the trip, Flandy is going to buy some small gifts for his friends in the magic tower.
Glenn counts, he has what he wants, Katrina and Gustav too, these two people are extremely hands-on, this street is just a place for civilians to buy goods, and the things sold are not as good as the two of them make themselves.
After thinking about it, I simply entered a fat powder shop.
Sister Annie, Shirley, Lilia, Anita, Essie, Katrina, two disciples Cathy and Muliel, plus so many maids, I feel that there are a lot of women in the magic tower.
This fat powder shop is already relatively good on this street, but Flandy is still a little unsightly when he walks around inside.
The color of the various fat powders is good, but the smell is a little choking.
However, this is also a common problem of all fat powder, even if you go to those shops in the center of the imperial capital that specialize in providing fat powder for nobles, you can buy similar things.
There was really no way, and I couldn't find a better one, so I simply bought a lot of every kind of fat powder.
In addition to fat powder, there are many other things sold in the fat powder shop, such as combs made of unknown materials, and small knick-knacks such as silver mirrors and copper mirrors.
In addition, hairpins, red head ropes, and jewelry of poor quality are also a lot.
Flandi didn't know what the girls in the Magic Tower liked, anyway, he wasn't short of money, so he asked the guys in the store to wrap this and that, and finally wrapped two big bags.
In the end, everything added up to a total of two gold coins, seven silver coins, and forty-three copper coins, and Flandy directly gave three gold coins, which made the man bow with joy.
"Hey, it's cheap, it's only three gold coins for such a bunch of things. Flandy thought as he walked out.
"Hey, this customer is really rich, he bought so many things at once, and he didn't even pay back the price, and he gave a lot of extra money. That's enough for two months' salary. The partner thought to himself as he sent Frandy out.
It was a bit of a hassle to go shopping with two large bags of things, although it didn't show much weight, but it was very difficult, and after walking for a long time, Flandi wanted to end this shopping and go back to the Magic Tower.
So he casually entered an alley, trying to find a place where no one was there to open the portal.
"Sweet water, very sweet sweet water!"
Unexpectedly, there was a small shop in the alley, and there was an old man guarding two large jars and selling.
There were many children who turned around the old man, staring at the two big jars, and the water in their mouths flowed straight out.
The old man looks quite old, although this sweet water shop is not luxurious, it is quite clean, and there are a few benches for people to rest.
"Old man, bring me a glass of sweet water to drink!" Franky walked over, put the two large bags aside, and sat down on the stool.
There were a few people next to him, who were probably tired from shopping, and they were also sitting on stools to rest, drinking sweet water with expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
The old man scooped a large glass for Brandy and handed it to him: "Sir, you are tired of walking, drink a bowl of sweet water, and ensure that you can rest in only a short time!"
Frankie let out an "um" and took a shallow sip of the cup.
The sweet water is a little yellow and a little cloudy, but when you drink it, it tastes unexpectedly sweet and pure.
"Huh?" said Flandie in another gulp.
My family has been selling sweet water here for hundreds of years, and people in the neighborhood like to drink it, saying it's very sweet!"
"That's good!" said Frandy.
A group of four or five-year-old babies stared at Frandy's mouth like puppies, with a look of longing. It's just that no one dares to speak out, and it is estimated that they have been taught a lesson by their family.
"Old man, give these babies a cup to each of them, see what they are gluttonous. Flandi was a little soft-hearted by these babies.
"Hey, sir, it's not enough for them to drink, if you drink it today, you will drink it tomorrow, this sweet water, if you drink too much, you will have a toothache." ”
"It's okay, it's not in the way to drink once in a while, you just scoop them, I'll spend the money!"
The old man couldn't help it, anyway, Flandi spent money, so he didn't argue anymore, and scooped a glass of sweet water for each of the children to drink.
It is estimated that these children were treated to a lot of treats, and they could be seen to be quite experienced, and after each of them took the full amount of sweet water, they all bowed to Brandy to show their gratitude.
"Yes, yes, all very polite. Flandi was happy to see the children pretend to bow to him.
"Hehe, these are all taught by me, these children are here every day, and there are also kind guests like you, so I will teach them how to thank them. ”
"Old man, you're not bad. Haha!" Frankie looked at the children as he sipped his sweet water.
Not long after, after drinking a bowl of sweet water, Flandi felt that his hands didn't hurt much, and the fatigue of walking for a long time was gone, so he took out a gold coin and handed it to the old man who sold sugar water.
"Ouch, sir, I can't find your gold coin!" the old man looked at the gold coin and worried.
"It's okay, take it, I have a question for you. ”
"I don't dare to take it, do you want to ask how Sweet Water is made?"
Flandi was stunned, he really wanted to ask how this sweet water was made.
