Quick Wear: Host, please be more restrained

Ye Qiao saw Xiaobai swallowing his saliva, looking at the sweet candied haws, and then looking around.

She discovered that the two largest restaurants in the town where they were located were Fu Man Lou and Wei Ji Xian. There were a lot of people coming and going in front of Fu Man Lou.

Most of them were well-dressed people, and although Weijixian was nicely decorated with wooden pavilions and towers, there were few people in front of the door.

Moreover, in the entire market, the only things women had were the most primitive rouge and powder, hairpins, and skirts. There were no modern eyebrow pencils or lipsticks. Moreover, the styles of their skirts were mostly the same, with no other designs.

As for food, most materials are in short supply nowadays. Although people don't eat pig offal, they don't throw them away at will. As for marinated ingredients, although no one is selling them, Ye Qiao can't guarantee her cooking skills.

Ye Qiao looked down at Xiao Bao's sparkling eyes, then squatted down and said, "Xiao Bao, here's five cents, go buy some food. Mom... Dad has something else to do, so wait for me at the East Market Gate later."

Although Xiaobao was small, he was very smart, so Ye Qiao felt more at ease with him. After making a plan in mind, Ye Qiao gave him two cents, gave him some instructions for a while, and then turned and left.

【Qiao Qiao, where are you going? 】

"It tastes heavenly."

After saying that, Ye Qiao, who was dressed as a man with a dark face and a beard, came to the door of Wei Ji Xian.

"Waiter, I want to see your boss." Ye Qiao came in and saw that there were almost no people in the hall, so he said to the busy waiter.

The waiter had a pointed face and looked up and down at Ye Qiao's attire. He was wearing rags and was short and dark. He didn't look like a rich man.

"Not everyone can see our boss..." he said sarcastically.

Ye Qiao was not angry. He just sat in the hall and ignored the contemptuous looks of the waiters.

But after a while, a man who was obviously dressed much better than the waiter, was white and plump, and looked like a rich man appeared.

"What are you doing?" The man looked at Ye Qiao. Since he didn't want to eat or leave, he asked the waiter.

"This little beggar is clamoring to see you and refuses to leave..." the waiter added fuel to the fire.

After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper came to Ye Qiao and asked calmly without any disdain, "What do you want from me, Gu, young man?"

Ye Qiao looked at the shopkeeper like this. Sure enough, people who can be shopkeepers and waiters are different. He immediately said, "I will help you beat the neighbor. This is my menu."

After saying that, Ye Qiao handed two menus to the shopkeeper.

Manager Gu rolled his round eyes, took Ye Qiao's two orders, and looked at the cooking methods of the dishes he had never heard of before.

"Boss, he is clearly causing trouble..." the waiter was yelling again.

Manager Gu thought about it, raised his hand to shut him up, then ordered someone to take the two menus to the kitchen and asked the chef to immediately prepare two dishes according to the menus.

During this time, Manager Gu kept asking Ye Qiao some questions secretly, but unfortunately, Ye Qiao's answers were flawless.

In just a few moments, two delicious dishes were ready: a roast duck with fragrant sauce and a steamed sea bass.

The waiters who smelled the flavor from afar swallowed their saliva. Manager Gu immediately asked someone to bring chopsticks. After tasting it, they were immediately amazed and quickly asked someone to take Ye Qiao to the inner room.

"My dear little brother, I, Gu, was unable to recognize a great man. Please forgive me for what happened just now." The shopkeeper immediately looked at Ye Qiao in a flattering manner and said.

"Name your price." Ye Qiao was thinking about Xiao Bao alone and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Manager Gu's eyes immediately lit up, "Is this okay?" The man made a two sign with his hands.

Ye Qiao pretended to be thinking and looked very embarrassed.

The man opposite saw Ye Qiao's expression and immediately changed his mind.

Ye Qiao remained silent again. The shopkeeper opposite saw that he was still an old hand, but those two dishes would definitely allow them to defeat Fu Man Lou. He made up his mind and said directly, "Six taels of silver, three taels for each dish, how about it?"

Seeing his distressed expression, Ye Qiao probably thought that the price increase would not be much, so she readily agreed. After all, she had plenty of such menus.

The man on the other side was also straightforward. He asked the waiter to bring the money bag and said flatteringly, "Little brother, if you have any recipes next time, just come to me. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

Ye Qiao nodded and said, "Can you help me change two thousand coins?"

The shopkeeper immediately exchanged the money and continued to speak flattering words. Ye Qiao left without much enthusiasm. Shopkeeper Gu looked at Ye Qiao's back and murmured, "What a strange man..."

As it got darker, the shops in the East Market gradually started to close. Xiaobao, a short and dark-skinned boy, sat on a rock, writing and drawing very seriously.

Ye Qiao approached and asked gently, "Have you bought Xiaobao's things?"

As soon as Xiao Bao saw Ye Qiao appear, there seemed to be stars in his eyes and he quickly hugged Ye Qiao's legs.

"For mother." Xiaobao took out two big meat buns and three cents from his pocket. The buns were still warm, which meant that he had been holding the buns in his arms.

Ye Qiao saw that there was nothing else besides the buns, "Xiaobao's own?"

When the child heard his mother's question, he just thought in his heart that a string of candied haws cost two cents and a small piece of malt sugar cost five cents. Although he also wanted to eat candy, after thinking about it, he still bought two meat buns.

In this way, he and his mother could both eat. The child pointed at the buns and indicated that each of them could have one.

Ye Qiao knew from his expression that sugar was a rare commodity here, and the child would definitely be reluctant to give it up.

It just so happened that they hadn't had lunch yet. After Ye Qiao and he each finished a meat bun, she counted her remaining money. She had exchanged two thousand coins, and with the several hundred coins she already had, she was already considered a wealthy person here.

After all, the annual expenses of an ordinary family are only five or six taels of silver. As for the remaining four taels of silver, she threw them into the space of the jade pendant. It is better not to show off your wealth.

After eating the buns, Ye Qiao took Xiao Bao to the market to go shopping, mainly because their bed sheet was too old and had no cotton wool, and they also had a shortage of many daily necessities, plus there was not much food at home.

Also, she planned to try making soap to see if she could do it. After all, in her last life, she liked to tinker with these things when she had nothing to do.

In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened. Ye Qiao rented an ox cart, carried his bags, and headed home.

Xiao Bao looked at Ye Qiao taking out the money and buying so many things. Now he was stunned. When did his mother become so rich?

Ye Qiao took out something and walked into the yard, and he smelled a hint of blood.

So he immediately kept quiet, Xiaobao immediately grabbed his own hands and closed his mouth.
