Chapter 304 Shopping
The grandmother and granddaughter walked out of the house hand in hand and walked slowly along the alley. When they finally walked out of the alley, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and a wide and prosperous street appeared in front of them.
The location of their home is indeed excellent. After turning from the noisy street into the quiet alley, just walk all the way to the end and you will find their home. It is far away from the noise and bustle of the street, and you can enjoy a unique tranquility; at the same time, it is close to the bustling street market, and it is very convenient to go out and shop. You can buy all the daily necessities without spending too much time.
However, Xiao Cao'er and Old Lady Yang were not in a hurry to go to the grocery store to buy things today. They decided to slow down and stroll around leisurely to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the streets and alleys.
Walking into the bustling street, we saw shops lined up on both sides of the road, various stalls next to each other, and a dazzling array of goods that were dazzling. There were colorful silks, exquisite porcelain, fragrant snacks... Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, full of curiosity and novelty about everything around them.
Whenever they came across something new and interesting, they would stop and take a closer look, and ask the stall owner about its purpose and price. Sometimes they couldn't help but fiddle with it themselves, with smiles on their faces. As they walked along, before they knew it, their hands were already full of various items they had purchased.
Xiao Caoer felt that although she was shopping with her grandma now, it felt just like shopping with her classmates on weekends when she was in school in her previous life.
"Grandma, you must be tired. Let's find a place to sit down, drink some tea and take a rest." Xiao Caoer said.
"Well, I'm a little thirsty." Old Mrs. Yang knew that her granddaughter didn't like polite words. Her good granddaughter didn't like to hear words like "I'm not thirsty yet" or "I'm not very tired yet".
"Well, let's find a place to sit. It's almost time for lunch, so let's eat something." Xiao Cao'er said as she looked around, looking for a place to eat. She saw the sign of Jixiang Restaurant not far away, and turned back to say to Old Lady Yang, "Grandma, that's Jixiang Restaurant. Let's go to Brother Xingyun's restaurant to eat."
"Okay, let's go to his place. I wonder if Manager Shen is here today. I haven't seen him for several days." Old Mrs. Yang has forgotten Manager Shen now. She saw him twice in one day on the day of the banquet but she didn't remember him.
The two walked to the door of the Jixiang Restaurant. Just as they were about to go in, they were stopped by a young man in gorgeous brocade clothes. He wore expensive hair accessories, had high sword-like eyebrows, and narrow eyes, revealing unruly and contemptuous, and his eyes were full of wanton frivolity. Behind him stood a group of flattering followers, who looked like dandy young men.
"Young lady, are you going to have dinner? This is the Jixiang Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in the capital. It's very expensive. Can I take you there to eat?" As he said this, he reached out to touch Xiaocao'er's face, but Xiaocao'er naturally slapped his hand away.
Xiao Caoer is now over 12 years old, and has grown into a graceful young lady. She takes good care of her skin. Her pink face is like a newly blossoming peach, with a rosy complexion, a pair of big watery eyes, clear and pure like a spring, and a lively and childish innocence. Everyone is moved when they see her.
The dandy young man looked up and down at Xiao Cao'er in front of him. He saw that she was dressed simply, without any fancy clothes. She was accompanied by an old woman, and she didn't even have a personal maid. Such a shabby appearance made the dandy young man certain that this woman was definitely not a noble lady from a famous family, so he became more and more bold and dared to touch her openly.
However, just when the dandy's dirty hand was about to touch Xiao Cao'er, he suddenly felt a strong force forcefully opening his hand, and at the same time, a piercing pain came from his palm. "Well, you ignorant bitch, you dare to hit me? You are simply tired of living!" The dandy cursed viciously, rubbing his palm to relieve the pain, and raised his arm again, trying to continue to abuse Xiao Cao'er.
Just as Xiao Cao was about to open her mouth to scold the other party, a powerful and majestic voice suddenly came: "Stop!" This sudden voice was like a loud bell, instantly stunning everyone present. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shopkeeper Shen walking quickly towards them.
It turned out that when the dandy young man led a group of lackeys to block the entrance of the restaurant, the sharp-eyed waiter had already noticed them. Originally, the waiter was still looking for fun and wanted to see how this farce would end. But who knew that he would inadvertently catch a glimpse of the figures of Miss Xiaocao and Old Lady Yang. The waiter did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly ran to the counter to report to the busy shopkeeper Shen: "Shopkeeper, please look at the door, is that Miss Xiaocao and Old Lady Yang?"
When Shopkeeper Shen heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter without saying a word. He knew very well the status of Miss Xiaocao and Old Lady Yang in his master's eyes, and he dared not neglect them at all. After all, for Shopkeeper Shen, it was better to make a mistake than to miss it.
