Chapter 277: Equality between men and women
Sitting, old gentlemen, what do you want to eat?"
As soon as Emperor Xuanwu and the others came to the private room and sat down, a delicate little girl came to their table and asked with a smile.
"Aren't you selling jelly? Naturally, you have to eat jelly, otherwise what else can you eat?" Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile to the little girl beside him.
"There are many flavors of jelly, there are original, apple, pineapple, peach, orange, etc., etc., depending on what flavor you like, we will bring you what flavor you like. And we don't just buy jelly in the store, there are some snacks and nuts in addition to jelly, but these snacks are not made by our store. In addition, we also serve tea in the store, although it is not the best tea, it can quench thirst. The little girl smiled and explained when she heard Emperor Xuanwu's words.
"Oh, and there are all kinds of flavors? Let's have a little bit of each, and we'll try them." Then I can get some nuts or something, and make a pot of tea. For this kind of civilian life, Emperor Xuanwu also enjoyed it very much. I enjoy the feeling of being treated as an ordinary person.
"Okay, old gentleman, please wait a moment, and what you want will be delivered immediately. With that, the little girl turned and left with a smile on her face.
Emperor Xuanwu turned his head and looked around, and was a little surprised to find that all these girls in the hall who acted as the second child were extremely outstanding, not only good-looking, but also polite, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"A few Aiqing, the personality of the owner of this shop is not ordinary. These girls are all one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand. It's just doing the work of the second child here. But it's even more extravagant than me, no wonder I can ask Jialing to ask the emperor to cut the ribbon. 」
Emperor Xuanwu's words frightened the eldest prince, this misunderstanding can not be stored in Emperor Xuanwu's heart, if Emperor Xuanwu misunderstands that he is greedy for the temptation of the owner's money or beauty and comes to cut the ribbon, it is extremely detrimental to himself, and he hurriedly said, "Father...... Master Fu, these girls are not ordinary waiters and juniors, but the daughters of all the adults in the court. I also come to this store to help on a voluntary basis. 」
The eldest prince was originally going to call his father, but he was afraid of being heard by other people outside, so he hurriedly changed his name to Master Fu. Although it is said to be a private room. In fact, it's just a wooden plank separating it from the surroundings. The sound insulation is definitely not very good. If you make a loud noise, you will definitely be heard by others.
"Well, it's the daughter of all the ministers of the court, so why did you come here to be a waiter? Don't tell me that all the ministers of the court are poor and can't even afford to support their daughters, and they need to let their daughters earn their own money to support their families. The words of the eldest prince made Emperor Xuanwu surprised. Daqi pursues a policy of high salaries and incorruptible pensions, and the salaries of officials are very high. Even a nine-rank official's salary is enough for his family of six or seven to live comfortably, and he can also hire four or five servants. As for high-ranking officials, that's even more to say. The height of the Yu Lu is incomparable to that of the previous dynasties.
A person who can be called a minister by the crown prince. The rank of official must not be low. Their thousand catties appeared here, which naturally surprised Emperor Xuanwu greatly.
"Master Fu, I only found out about this after I came. According to the owner of the shop, Miss Fluttershy, it seems that it was because the wind said that men and women are equal in the world. There can be no man without a woman. Men can do what women can do. These girls agreed with Feng Qingyao's words very much, so they all came here to help. The eldest prince Zhu Huan said a little incredulously.
Zhu Huan felt that these girls were definitely full of food, and his daughter was not right, so she came here to do the work of serving people, and she was so happy. It's just to prove that what a man can do and what a woman can do, it's really a bit inexplicable.
Emperor Xuanwu also shook his head with a smile when he heard the explanation of the eldest prince, speechless for the behavior of these girls.
Emperor Xuanwu, who had long known what this shop was for, all started asking for jelly directly after coming in, and those who didn't know what this shop was doing were surprised when they came in. Because they saw that the furnishings in the store were a bit like a restaurant, and it was not at all the place where they imagined to buy and sell rare treasures.
After inquiring about what this shop does, I asked for jelly to taste one by one. Although I didn't see the treasures I imagined, the shop that allowed the two princes to come to cut the ribbon must be very different. They also wanted to taste what the crystal jelly was.
After eating one, everyone couldn't help but praise this delicious taste that they had never eaten before. In addition, jelly is not expensive, a jelly is only five cents, and a vegetable and meat bun is only three cents more expensive than two cents, and they all eat happily.
The currency of Daqi is mainly copper coins, 800 copper coins are one hanging or consistent, equal to one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver are equal to one tael of gold. Therefore, the five-dollar thing is very cheap for the people of Daqi, basically all the people consume it, plus the jelly is such a delicious thing and has never been eaten, so they don't care about such a small amount of money.
But in reality, a jelly is no more than an inch in size, and you can eat it in one bite. In addition, there are many kinds of jelly flavors, and it is not uncommon for one person to eat so one or twenty, and if you don't pay attention to hundreds of dollars, you will go out, plus other tea, nuts and other things, and a few friends will spend one or two dollars in a short time when they sit together. And it's not noticeably expensive.
"Well, it tastes good. No wonder it can attract Xiaoxuan over. 」
After the jelly came up, Emperor Xuanwu also praised it again and again after eating two, the jelly was cool and smooth in his mouth, and the taste was unique, although Emperor Xuanwu was a person who didn't care much about the desire of the tongue, but he also felt that this kind of thing was very good.
"By the way, what about Xiaoxuan, why didn't you see her when you came in?" After eating the jelly, Emperor Xuanwu thought of his precious daughter, and asked the two princes.
"Ugh...... My sister is in the back, and she has been eating jelly since she came in, and she hasn't stopped, and now she doesn't know how much she has eaten. For this gluttonous sister, the eldest prince Zhu Huan was also a little helpless. There is no appearance of a royal princess at all.
"Oh, let her go, Xiaoxuan is still a child after all, and it's normal to be gluttonous. As the most beloved youngest daughter, Emperor Xuanwu can be said to be extremely indulgent to the thirteenth princess Zhu Xiaoxuan, as long as it is not a special event, he generally will not worry about anything with Zhu Xiaoxuan. But then again, how could Zhu Xiaoxuan do anything particularly extraordinary? A good education made Zhu Xiaoxuan extremely high, and he would not do anything to bully people.
"Okay, I've finished watching the excitement, I've tasted this jelly, let's go back." 」
Emperor Xuanwu originally came out to distract himself, but now that he has eaten the jelly, his heart has also been dispersed, and he remembers the state affairs that he has not yet dealt with, and is ready to return to the palace to continue to deal with state affairs.
Emperor Xuanwu said this, and the others naturally did not refute it, and got up one by one to leave.
"Are the old gentlemen leaving?" (To be continued......)
