Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 300 Windfall

Looking at the crowded market, Shen Cha sighed faintly.

"At first, I thought I wouldn't come out to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to come out anyway. This is fate!"

"Who says it's not!" Jin Jing looked unlovable, "This old man Mo is really, how much food can we eat, he actually said that he didn't prepare our meal, and kicked us out Already." He rolled his eyes, "Are we trying to lose face? I saw those guys in the dining room snickering just now!"

"Stop complaining!" Shen Haolin looked at the crowds of people on the street, and sighed, "Hurry up and find a place to eat, and keep your mouth shut."

After finishing speaking, Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha and followed the people on the street to the center of the city. Jin Jing shook her sleeves and followed her up.

"Actually, seeing the current state of Jiapingguan City, I am still a little excited, or maybe I am gratified! When we were young, it was difficult for everyone to survive and fill our stomachs, let alone the New Year's Eve. Eating out, after all... the end of the year is sad!"

"Xiaocha said that I had a wish when I was very young." Jin Jing sighed, "It is to go to a restaurant and have a good meal. Now... we are really good, aren't we? "

"Not only us, but also our father and mother. Without them, we would not be able to do this step." Shen Cha was dragged by Shen Haolin, looked left and right, met people like them who saluted and said hello, Nodding back with a smile on his face, "I suddenly feel that having a meal should not be as difficult as we thought before, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises!"

"I think so too." Jin Jing hurriedly ran to Shen Cha's side, "Speaking of which, the three of us can be regarded as celebrities in this city, and if we want to go to the restaurant for a meal, the store hastened to clean it up." come out of the box, don't you?"

"Brother Xiaojing, you call it bullying." Shen Cha saw a stall selling glutinous rice cakes on the side of the street, and there were a lot of people in line in front of it. She went over curiously to have a look, and the appearance and taste of the glutinous rice cakes were very suitable. In her mind, she waved to Shen Haolin and Jin Jing, "Brother, it looks delicious, let's buy some and try it too!"

"Okay!" Shen Haolin saw that the stall, the stall owner and the ingredients used were all clean, so he followed Shen Cha's intention and lined up at the end of the line.

"Hello, Mrs. Guo, hello Miss, and Mr. Military!" Those who lined up to buy glutinous rice cakes, those who had seen Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Jin Jing, all saluted them, "Master Guo, you are also out for a stroll. of?"

"No, on such a festive day, you always have to come out to enjoy yourself."

Jin Jing rushed to speak before Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. These two people had a relatively detached status in Jiaping Guancheng, and they were very respected, and the two of them gave others the feeling that they were working hard and not very good at words, so, like chatting, Such things as greetings are usually taken care of by Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, who are more lively and joking, and the people in Jiaping Guancheng have long been used to it.

"Grandpa Guo and Missy look much more haggard than before winter." The shopkeeper of Jiangjia Fragrance Shop, who had been to the Duke's Mansion of Zhenguo to deliver spices, came over and saluted, "You two still need to take good care of your health, Jiaping The people in Guancheng still rely on two guards!"

"You heard it, it's not just us who say that, but everyone else!" Jin Jing smiled at Shopkeeper Jiang, "The two of them are so diligent in government affairs that they forget to eat and sleep, and the people around them can't persuade them no matter what. Move. No, today is the holiday, if I didn't drag them out to hang around in a dead breath, they would spend a good holiday in the study in a chaotic way."

"Although government affairs are important, there will always be a lot, and there will always be endless processing. The two of you still have to combine work and rest."

"Yes, my lord, Missy, your body is the most important thing."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha listened to everyone's advice with a slight smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, we will take good care of you, thank you all!"

The owner of the glutinous rice cake stall wrapped three large pieces of glutinous rice cake, ran over and stuffed them into Jin Jing's hands, saying that he didn't want their money, and trotted back to hide behind the stall.

Seeing that this was not going to work, Shen Cha thanked the stall owner, turned around and gave Ying Shiqi a wink who was following secretly, and hurriedly left with Shen Haolin in one hand and Jin Jing in the other.

"Huh!" After leaving the crowd far away, Shen Cha breathed a sigh of relief, "I just wanted to eat glutinous rice cakes on a whim, but I didn't expect such a fuss to happen." She looked at Jin Jing and raised her eyebrows slightly , "Are you trying to drag me and my brother out of the house? Brother Xiaojing, your ability to talk nonsense with your eyes open is really getting more and more proficient."

"Isn't this just finding an excuse to prevaricate!" Jin Jing looked at the big paper bag in her hand, "This boss is really honest, this big bag can last until tomorrow morning." He turned around and put This paper bag was handed to Merlin, "If you want me to say, let's find a restaurant honestly and stop wandering on the street. If we keep on shaking, we might attract many people to watch!"

"That's true!" Shen Haolin nodded, "It's better to go to Yunxianju, where private rooms are usually reserved for the Duke's Mansion."

Yunxianju is not far from Zhen Guogong’s mansion, and it’s only a cup of tea when you walk east. Because it’s a festival, there are also people in it. However, the price of Yunxianju’s dishes is more expensive than ordinary restaurants. , It really didn't happen that other restaurants were so popular and couldn't find a seat.

"I have seen the grandfather!"

The clerk standing at the door greeting the guests saw Shen Haolin and the three of them, first saluted, then took two steps back slightly, and invited a group of people to enter the door, then ran behind the counter and muttered a few words to the shopkeeper.

Hearing what the waiter said, the shopkeeper quickly turned out from behind the counter, and ran to Shen Haolin at a trot, "Master Guo, please go upstairs, the private room is still empty!"

"Please lead the way."

A group of people went upstairs and walked to the door of the private room in the Duke's Mansion. Seeing that the door of the private room next door was closed tightly, Shen Cha couldn't help but feel a little strange.She has also been to Yunxianju several times, and the private rooms upstairs are basically empty.

"Is there someone next door?" After Shen Cha sat down, she looked at the shopkeeper, "Who is it?"

"I'm not a regular customer, but I recognize it." The shopkeeper served ginger soup, "It's a leather goods in the west of the city."

Shen Cha nodded, stopped talking about the people next door, and looked down at Shen Haolin to order.

"Other than these, what else do you want to eat?" Seeing that Shen Cha and Jin Jing wanted to eat, they asked Mei Lin, Mei Zhu, Ying Shiqi, and Ying Shiba at the small table next to them, "What do you want to eat, order by yourself .”

"I know what they want to eat." Shen Cha looked at the shopkeeper, "Give them two roasted lamb legs and a few more vegetables."

"Yes!" The shopkeeper agreed, bowed to the three of them, and quietly retreated out.

Shen Cha's eyes turned to the private room next door again, and after looking at it for a while, she waved to Ying Shiba and whispered a few words.

Watching Ying Shiba leave the box, Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "You... think there is a problem?"

"The leather goods..." Shen Haolin and Shen Cha glanced at each other, "Since the border was closed, most of the leather goods in the city have diverted to other businesses. They can persist until now, either Stockpiling in previous years, or..."

"Oh!" Jin Jing suddenly realized, "It seems that what Xiaocha said before was good, and we came out this time, and we really have an unexpected harvest!"

After all the dishes they ordered were served, and Merlin's roast leg of lamb was also delivered, Ying Shiba jumped in from the window.

"Boss!" Ying Shiba nodded towards Shen Cha, "You're right, judging from your appearance, it's true."

"really."

Shen Cha put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and walked to the wall, closed his eyes and listened to the movement next door.After listening for a while, she opened her eyes with a faint smile on her face.

"What?" Shen Haolin also came over, "What did you hear?"

"Elder brother, come and listen too, this conversation...is wonderful!"
