"Just when I was worried, I met Fan Chengxu, I only met him once from afar, I heard others mention him, and I knew that although he was born in the Fan family, he was a maverick, and he didn't love power and money. It just so happened that he was not too young, and he was being arranged by the Fan family. ”

"I thought that the two of us might be able to give it a try, so I secretly asked my maid to hand him a letter, asked him to meet him privately, told him my thoughts, and revealed to him that I was the boss behind Tongdetang, and he was really interested in me and agreed to my proposal to marry me."

Wei Ruo smiled: "I was quite surprised when I saw your letter about this, but 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, and he actually accompanied you, he should treat you well. ”

"He treated me really well, I really didn't make a wrong bet, I have had a good life in the past three years of marriage, and he has also taken me to many places to see a lot of new things, which my father and brother have never shown me before."

Looking at 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 fine, I'm glad you got married as you wished."

"It's as I originally wished, but ......" Xie Ying pursed her lips, swallowed back the words in her mouth, and continued, "Ruoruo, you take me around for a walk, I think Jiliao is very interesting now, and it's not what I thought." ”

"Okay." Wei Ruo readily agreed.

It just so happened that she had taken one last look at the small town she had built with all her own hands.

Wei Ruo knew in her heart that if she went to the capital, no matter whether she succeeded or failed, she might never have a chance to come back.

"Then let's go change into men's clothes." Xie Ying said.

"No, just go out like that."

"Really? I'm going to sit in your restaurant in a moment. ”

"There are not many aristocratic families in Jiliao City, most of them are ordinary people, and the women of ordinary families will show up for their livelihoods, and I have not been a woman who stays in the house in peace from the beginning, so Jiliaocheng has never had any restrictions on Miss Qianjin, except for fireworks and willow lane, there is probably no place where we can't go."

"It's so good, I like it with few rules! In the capital, you have to hug people when you go out, and you have to avoid restaurants and teahouses with many people, or you have to let people charter the venue, which is very troublesome. ”

"Let's go." Wei Ruo took Xie Ying out of the door.

There is an east-west avenue outside the main gate of Ruiwangfu, and there is a north-south avenue on the left and right sides, of which the east-west avenue is particularly spacious, which can accommodate two troikas side by side.

At the same time, this street is also the most prosperous commercial street in Jiliao City, and there are all kinds of shops outside.

Among them, Wei Ruo's own shops are indispensable: Sibao Zhai, Waiting for the Moon House, Lo Mei Shop, and Rice Grain Shop all have branches.

There is no curfew in Jiliao City, and even after the end of the day, there are still shops open on the street.

And now it's noon, and it's time for the streets to be lively.

However, it is still a little quieter than usual, because during the state mourning, it is forbidden to feast and marry as a sign of mourning.

Fortunately, the emperor had issued an edict earlier, mentioning the matters after his death, requiring everything to be simple, and farming and trade to be carried out as usual during the national funeral, in order not to affect the normal life and production of the people, and not to make the life of the people who were already suffering worse.

Xie Ying was dazzled by these shops: "I wanted to visit these shops when I came, but I didn't care about you in a hurry to see you." ”

Wei Ruo smiled, and his heart was 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.

"That's fried potatoes." Wei Ruodao.

"Fried potatoes? Is it tasty? ”

"Most of the shops that can be opened on this street will not taste bad."

"Then I'm going to give it a try."

Xie Ying happily ran to the shop selling fried potatoes.

In the oil pan were round golden balls of similar size.

"Boss, how do you sell this?" Xie Ying asked.

"Five cents a piece."

"Bring me one."

Xie Ying asked for a potato, and was about to pay after getting it, but was rejected by the boss.

"You are a guest of the princess, we don't charge you money, you can eat as you please." The boss said with a smile.

Xie Ying turned her head to look at Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo stood here, the boss recognized her, but he was not panicked, and ran the shop as usual.

Xie Ying was puzzled for a while, but still put the five cents on the table, and then took the fried potatoes in the oilpaper bag and pulled Wei Ruo away.

"Ruoruo, they know you, but they don't salute you, as if they are used to you walking on the street." Xie Ying voiced her doubts.

"Well, I didn't let them salute. Because I often have to come to this street, if they have to bow every time they see me, it will be very inconvenient, and it will be troublesome for me. Wei Ruo explained.

"I see." Xie Ying nodded clearly, then picked up the bamboo skewer in the oiled paper bag and pricked a fried hot potato and put it in her mouth.

After taking two bites, Xie Ying's eyes lit up.

"It smells so good! The exterior is crispy, the inside is soft and glutinous, sweet, salty, and delicious! Xie Ying couldn't help but praise.

Then Xie Ying said to Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, this thing has a bit of your craftsmanship, this rich seasoning, very similar to your work." ”

"Very sharp."

"What do you mean? Is it really your work? ”

"I taught him."

"That's your shop?"

"It's not."

"Then why did you teach him?"

"I can cook a lot of food, and if I sell it myself, where can I get it? I taught him, he has one more craft, and Jiliao City has one more food shop, why not? And when I want to eat it myself, I can eat it when I go out, and I don't need to prepare it myself, so why don't I do it? ”

Wei Ruo not only taught this boss, but there were several snack shops on this street that Wei Ruo opened at the behest of Wei Ruo.

"You have a point!" Xie Ying couldn't help but agree.

After saying that, I couldn't help but gulp down the fried potatoes.

As soon as she ate one, Xie Ying's attention was attracted by another shop in front of her.

She pulled Wei Ruo over again: "Boss, you can also give me a copy of this." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute."

The boss did it.

Xie Ying asked, "What is this?" ”

"It's baked cold noodles."

"Cold noodles? Where's the surface? ”

"This skin is the face."

"I see."

Xie Ying got another grilled cold noodle 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 feeling the difference of Jiliao City, I tried various delicacies of Jiliao City. (End of chapter)
