When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

After sorting out all the things, Wei Wuxian looked at the pile of items and thought to himself: I am so virtuous. I bought so many things to give to everyone. I am sure everyone will be very happy when they receive them.

After introducing the uses of the things he bought one by one, Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji with shining eyes, as if he wanted to take credit for it.

The three big words "Praise me quickly" are written all over his eyes.

However, compared with Wei Wuxian’s bright eyes, Lan Wangji’s eyes were a little dim.

After looking at him, Lan Wangji lowered his eyes slightly and uttered two words: "Great."

His expression made Wei Wuxian not feel the joy of being praised.

Seeing that his expression was very calm, Wei WuXian said, “Why do you look so gloomy? Could it be that you are unhappy that I spent so much money on you?”

Lan Wangji kept his eyes down for a long time, and when he looked up at him again, the grievance in his eyes was about to overflow: "How could it be."

Wei WuXian scratched his chin: "Then why are you so depressed?"

Lan Wangji glanced at the pile of things on the table, then turned his gaze away calmly. The emotions that had just been revealed in his eyes were gone. He said slowly, "Nothing."

Wei WuXian smiled: “Nothing’s wrong, that’s good. After we finish shopping at East Street, let’s go to West Street.”

Without waiting for Lan Wangji to answer, Wei Wuxian took his hand and went out.

Wei Wuxian was strolling happily in front, and Lan Wangji followed closely behind him.

Wei Wuxian bought two more boxes of meat to eat. They were fried until crispy and especially fragrant.

He handed one to Lan Wangji, but Lan Wangji refused. There was no choice but to eat them himself as they could not be wasted.

While eating and walking around, he bought some other miscellaneous little things, including newly published storybooks and erotica books, which he packed up and put in his arms.

Wei Wuxian was indeed full when he was eating just now. After walking around for a while, he started to feel hungry again when he saw some other food.

This time, before buying other food, he asked Lan Wangji if he wanted any, but Lan Wangji rejected them all.

Fortunately, Wei Wuxian asked in advance, otherwise if he had to eat double the amount of everything, he would have been so bloated.

Following the scent, the two came to a relatively deserted shop.

After entering, Wei Wuxian realized that this was a teahouse, very leisurely and relaxing.

After the items came up, Wei Wuxian took a bite. The pastry was made very densely, and the ingredients were very sufficient. It exploded in his mouth and continued to expand. Wei Wuxian was choked and almost couldn't breathe.

Lan Wangji quickly handed him the accompanying sour plum soup.

Wei WuXian slowed down: “Huh… I almost choked to death.”

The lady boss beside him explained quickly after seeing this: "Sir, this pastry is for dessert after dinner. You have to savor it carefully, take a small bite at a time, and then pair it with our soup. The taste is unparalleled. I guarantee that you won't be able to find something as authentic as ours within a ten-mile radius."

Wei WuXian cleared his throat and said, “It’s not your fault. I was too reckless when eating.”

The proprietress smiled and said that she was used to this kind of thing.

The proprietress glanced sideways and saw Lan Wangji tasting their pastries elegantly and calmly. With that posture and demeanor, it was as if he was in a different world from others just while having a simple meal.

The proprietress' eyes widened with amazement, thinking that this man could be the living signboard of their family.

She praised without reservation: "The person next to the young master is obviously a person who knows how to enjoy delicious food."

Wei Wuxian looked at him. Lan Wangji took a sip of the sour plum soup and said, "It has a rich flavor, is refreshing but not greasy, and has an excellent taste. It is truly top-notch."

The proprietress laughed so hard that her body shook: "Young master, you have good taste." After such a long time, she finally met someone who understands taste. She used to be a pastry chef in a noble family, but there were many things to do in the family, so she left because she thought it was troublesome to serve others.

Caiyi Town has beautiful scenery and pleasant views, and the people who live here have been gentle and easy to get along with for generations, so she settled down here.

She has been doing business here for a short time, and her life is indeed very slow, but the business has always been lukewarm. Most of the people who come to her house for tea and chat think that her pastries are too choking and will not come a second time.

There are very few people like Lan Wangji who know how to appreciate and enjoy food.

So she brought different cakes for Lan Wangji to taste, including lychee flavor, rose flavor, and red bean paste flavor.

Lan Wangji said, “Thank you very much, but you won’t need any of this.”

Wei Wuxian saw that the female boss didn’t look very old, probably in her early thirties at most.

They had been sitting in this shop for a while. There weren't many people coming and going here, and she was the only one serving customers.

The proprietress kept asking Lan Wangji to taste more and to praise her cooking skills.

Wei WuXian said, “Sister, you may not know this, but my man always eats like this, elegant and polite, chewing slowly and carefully, it’s because of the family rules and temperament.”

The lady boss said, "It's okay."

She packed them up and placed them in front of the two of them: "It's rare to meet someone like you, so consider these as a gift from me. Take them home and enjoy them slowly. If you like them, come back again."

The proprietress really didn't mean anything special, she was just warm, cheerful and generous.

The two of them wanted to give them some silver, but the proprietress refused to take it, so they had to give up.

After leaving the store, Wei Wuxian stuffed the food into Lan Wangji’s hands: “If you like it, take it.”

“…” Lan Wangji couldn’t remember when he said he liked to eat it.

After strolling for a while, Wei Wuxian was in high spirits, touching and poking everywhere he went.

Wei Wuxian was squatting in front of a bunch of antique stalls, looking at them attentively, when he suddenly heard a hawker's voice not far away. It was someone selling candied haws.

Wei WuXian licked the corner of his mouth, feeling a little greedy, and looked up at Lan WangJi: “Second Brother Lan, go buy me some candied haws.”

Lan Wangji nodded, and after he left, Wei Wuxian's attention was suddenly drawn to something else.

There were a lot of people, both men and women, gathered in a dimly lit corner ahead.

Wei WuXian put down what he was fiddling with and squeezed into the crowd.

After entering, I saw an old lady with a very kind face sitting among the vendors.

The old lady was sitting on a stool with a few things placed on the simple table in front of her.

Wei WuXian asked, “Grandma, what are you selling?”

Grandma’s eyesight was not very good. She looked among the crowd for a long time before finding Wei Wuxian’s position. She explained to him: “This is Acacia Red Bean.”

Wei WuXian thought for a moment and said, “Is it because of the line ‘The exquisite dice are filled with red beans, do you know how deep my love for you is?’”

Grandma smiled and nodded.

Acacia red beans, very good. Wei Wuxian asked: "Grandma, how do I make this?"

Grandma said, "Take a strand of hair and braid it into the red thread, then string the red beans on it, and then use a carving pen to write your name on the back of it and give it to your loved one."
