After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 291 Candied Fruit
"Did Mr. Xie never go shopping?" Yun Zhuo suddenly raised his eyes and asked with a smile.

She thinks that Xie Jie is so incapable of socializing, perhaps because no one has taught him how to communicate, let alone now, since someone is willing to support him, he has no chance to appreciate those trivial daily life.

Therefore, he has no popularity at all.

However, after staying in the clouds for a long time, do you also want to lean over and grab a handful of worldly fireworks?Yun Zhuo didn't know, so she asked him again: "You don't need to buy anything, go shopping, Mr. Xie, do you want to be with me?"

Xie Jie lowered his eyes and parted his thin lips lightly: "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he bent down and got out of the carriage, and habitually stretched out his hand to catch Yun Zhuo down.

After Yun Zhuo got off the carriage, he walked side by side with him.The streets of Luyong are not like those in Kyoto. Kyoto is a royal city. Every plant, every tree, every brick and every tile shows the grandeur of the Daye royal city. With families, factions and factions, there is no easy place.Even the banquet where the younger daughter watched flowers and wrote poems was full of backstabbing.

Looking at the scenery, in fact, the scenery is full of holes, filled with countless desires and intrigues, supporting the glory above the scenery.

Lu Yong is completely different.Although this place used to be a royal city for several generations, countless romantic figures were able to shine because of this place and write the chapters of legends, but it has passed after all.For generations, what can be handed down in the end is nothing more than these grasses, trees, bricks and tiles.

This is probably the reason, the city of Luyong exudes a light and heavy feeling from the inside out.

Thickness is due to its long history, but lightness is because this sense of heaviness has been integrated into the lives of common people. They were born here, live here, and if nothing happens, they will eventually die here. .They don't marvel at the feat of the place, nor do they feel much awe.What's more, he entrusted his life to this place.Therefore, when they got close to Luyong, they would not treat him solemnly.

Xie Jie is a good tour guide.

After following him out of the car, Yun Zhuo got a deep understanding of this.

I don't know how his head is so long that he can remember so many things.The two of them walked all the way, Xie Jie told her about the shops and places on this street - most of them were recorded in the official history.

For example, at the knife shop not far away, because the shopkeeper went to the mountain to cut down trees one day, the emperor who was visiting privately in Weifu was chased by a black bear. In desperation, he threw the hatchet in his hand and hit the black bear's neck, and the black bear went away. After a few steps, it roared twice, and fell to the ground, and then saw it bleeding, and died.

The frightened emperor bowed to the shopkeeper to the end, thanking him for saving his life.Knowing that the person in front of him is not a farmer nearby, but just happened to go up the mountain today, he even shouted God's will.

The only result of this private visit to Weifu was that he gave a plaque and a thousand taels of gold to the shopkeeper, and sealed his knife as "the best knife in the world".

There are also such things as the embroidery workshop and the spice shop in front, most of which have some allusions.

Yun Zhuo reads idle books just to pass the time, and there is nothing else but this effect, but when these stories are told by Xie Jie, she feels that they have a different taste, maybe because someone is with her.she thinks.

The two walked together for a long time, and came to a candied fruit shop.Yun Zhuo stopped in his footsteps: "I heard that Lu Yong's candied fruit is also a must?"

Xie Jie said, "It's no better than Chen Jun."

But despite saying this, he turned and went into the candied fruit shop.A wooden shelf was set up in the shop, with floral square cloth stretched on it, and dozens of wooden boxes were displayed on it. The boxes contained all kinds of candied fruit, candy, preserved fruit, fresh fruit, and dried fruit. It looked very lively. up.

The wooden box is large and shallow, even if the candied snacks cover the box, there are not many.These are all put out for the customers to taste. If the customers are satisfied, after negotiating the price with the shopkeeper and asking for the quantity, the shopkeeper will go to the back cabinet to weigh them out, wrap them in oiled paper and give them to the guests.

Yun Zhuo followed Xie Jie in, first looked at the furnishings in the shop, and then turned to look at the candied fruit in the box.

Although she likes to eat desserts, she is not very interested when she sees candied and dried fruits.

When she was a child on Kuxing Street, her life was not always easy.Lianqing's money was tight, and it was her first time as a mother, and she didn't really regard Yunzhuo as her daughter, and most of the time she left her to the old mother at home.

The old mother took Yunzhuo, cooked and washed her, taught her to read and reasoned with her, and made up for her lack of maternal love.

Yun Zhuo always thought that although Lian Qing didn't like her, it was enough for her to have a nanny.Mammy treats her so well, she wants the stars to spoil her without giving the moon away.

Such ideas were shattered at the age of eight.That was the first time she realized that there were things Mammy couldn't do.

At that time, there was a new kind of candied fruit in the pastry shop on Bitter Apricot Street. Yun Zhuo still remembered that it was called candied plum, a small one, which seemed nothing special, and the children on the street liked to eat it. Every time acquaintances meet each other, they use it as the beginning of greeting:
"Have you eaten plums today? I have some left at home. Mother said that I have to read ten characters today before I can buy them."

"Auntie the shopkeeper said that there are no more, and it will take two days for the plums to be shipped from outside, do you know?"

Yun Zhuo listened to Mammy's words since she was a child, and knew that her family's situation was not good. Although she was envious of other little girls who could often wear new clothes and have a bunch of the most fashionable things on hand, she never had a fight with Mammy because of these things, even Rarely ask for anything.

Mammy has no money on her body, if she wants anything, Mammy can only ask Lianqing.Lianqing would sneer and sneer for a long time, saying all kinds of ugly things, and when she finished speaking, she reluctantly threw a few copper coins to the mother.

After knowing this, Yun Zhuo restrained himself even more.

But she was still young, so one day she passed by the pastry shop on the street with Mammy, and looked inside curiously, not because she wanted Mammy Yang to buy plums for her, but just to have a look.

Later, although Mammy didn't say anything, she asked Lianqing for money after she went back and wanted to buy it for her.

"Birth of such a loser has ruined all my good luck, and now I'm even kicked out! It's good that I can provide her with food and clothing. I don't have a lady's life, but I have a lady's disease, what candied fruit, she Are you worthy? Let me tell you, old thing, I hired you to serve her, but I didn’t ask you to help her deal with me! You love her so much, you have the ability to earn two money by yourself, why ask me for money for nothing? What's going on?"
