The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying was curious about visiting a "cold drink shop" for the first time, so he was no longer in a hurry to eat. He started asking the waiter about everything.

As they were talking, a group of people came into the store, first two girls of about seventeen or eighteen, followed by a woman, and then a little girl, about ten years old. Behind her was a woman holding a pile of boxes and two girls of about seventeen or eighteen. It was obvious that the one in the middle was the person they were protecting.

Bai Tieying was shocked by the scene. Whose family was this lady from? Why did she need such a grand ceremony?

Without waiting for the other waiter to finish his greeting, the woman in light pink clothes who was in front said, "Please arrange a private room for us, waiter." As she said that, she stuffed something into the waiter's hand.

The waiter hurriedly raised his hand to return the gift, "Thank you for the gift, young lady, but it's hot today and the private rooms upstairs are full. I'm really sorry, how about you see if you can sit on the first floor?"

The woman did not take the tip from the waiter, but turned back and said something to the girl, who nodded. The woman in charge seemed to have advised her. The girl frowned, but did not speak or move. The woman bowed and took a step back, seemingly compromising.

Bai Tieying watched this scene with great interest, just like she was watching a TV drama, and she didn't even listen carefully to the introduction of the waiter beside her.

When the little girl came over, everyone in the group, except the little girl and the old woman holding the box, was wiping the tables and chairs. They all looked very busy. Bai Tieying laughed when she saw them.

"What are you laughing at?" The little girl who was standing and waiting nearby suddenly asked. Bai Tieying didn't realize that she was asking him, so he didn't answer.

"I asked you what you are laughing at?" the little girl asked again. At this time, the woman in the light pink dress hurriedly stood behind the little girl.

Bai Tieying actually understood what she said, but she didn't like the bossy tone in her voice, so she didn't answer.

The little girl seemed to be arguing with Bai Tieying and asked the question for the third time even louder.

Bai Tieying then raised his eyes to look at her: "Are you a princess?"

The little girl was about to laugh when she realized that what she said was wrong and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"If I'm not a princess, why do you care what I laugh at?"

"How dare you! Do you know who she is? How dare you be so presumptuous here! Do you think you can just mention the title of princess?" the woman in light pink clothes next to her shouted.

"Who are you? Aren't you screaming so passionately?"

"I..." The woman turned her head to look at her master, then lowered her head hurriedly.

Another woman in light green clothes came forward and whispered something to the little girl. The little girl snorted and sat down next to her.

The two waiters were sweating coldly in their hearts, and only then did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

The waiter beside Bai Tieying said carefully, "Miss, I have introduced all the teas, snacks, and iced drinks in the store. Which one would you like to order?"

"Just have the lychee paste water and some spiced cake."

"Okay, what kind of fruit do you want?"

"As for the fruits, no need. I brought my own." Bai Tieying said after glancing at the group of people next to him.

"Okay, wait a moment."

"Wait." Bai Tieying stopped the waiter who was about to leave and said, "Pack up a portion of all your snacks for me and take them with me when I leave."

"Ah? This... Miss, excuse me for being so nosy, but it's best to make and eat these snacks right after they're made. We have 24 kinds of snacks in our store, corresponding to the 24 solar terms. There are only six kinds that are suitable for long-term storage. Would you like to have these six first? Or I can run an errand for you at the pastry shop."

"No, but I'd like to trouble you to run an errand for me. It will cost four pieces as well, divided into two packages." Bai Tieying took out a silver ingot of ten taels and handed it to the waiter, "Is that enough?"

"That's enough, girl. Do you want anything else?"

"Oh, and four pounds of fresh fruits each, divided into two portions." After saying that, Bai Tieying took out another ingot of ten taels of silver.

"Okay girl, I'll pack these for you. I'll give them to you when you leave the store or send them to anywhere else."

"Well, please trouble my second brother!"

"You're welcome. I'll bring the lychee syrup and spiced cake to you as soon as they're ready."

The waiter took the hand basin and towel away and came to wipe the table. He was very happy at the moment. This girl looked ordinary in clothes, but she was really generous! If he ran errands again, he could not only relax, but he might even get a tip. Fortunately, he had patiently introduced everything to the guest. Maybe the guest gave him such a big benefit just because he saw that he was a good host...

Without watching the waiter busying around, Bai Tieying slowly raised her left hand, and her sleeves slipped down, revealing a delicate little basket - the cherry basket she had prepared earlier. However, the cherry basket she took out had the tower grass at the bottom replaced with Ganoderma lucidum.

Because of the sleeves covering the basket, and the small size, it was possible that she had just brought it in and put it on the bench. So Bai Tieying didn't have to worry about exposing the space and was ready to start her performance.

She first took out the Ganoderma lucidum from the basket, then picked up a cherry and gently put it into her mouth, squinted her eyes, smiled, and then used a handkerchief to catch the cherry seeds and put them in the basket... She was pretending like this, plus she had just taken orders and run errands, oh, and there were the two silver ingots just now - naturally she wanted to hook the little girl just now.

She is ten years old and looks good, but she doesn't actually feel like a child except when she needs to socialize with others.

I didn't mean to laugh just now, I just thought it was funny that those people were rushing around and showing how busy they were. There was only one table, and if the girl wanted to sit, it was just a bench, so why would five people have to go up and wipe it?

But he didn't expect that this smile would annoy the little girl. If she had spoken nicely, it would have been fine. Bai Tieying did laugh first, and explained that they were just casual acquaintances, so there was no need to take it so seriously. But the little girl spoke to him in such a stiff tone, which made Bai Tieying, who wanted to explain, lose his temper.

"Miss, please enjoy your lychee paste water and five-spice cake." said the waiter as he placed the snacks on the table.

"Thank you, little brother."

"Hello, young lady! My sister was rude just now. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf." As soon as the waiter left, the woman in light green clothes came over and said.

Bai Tieying did not answer, but took a sip of the lychee paste and then a bite of the five-spice cake. "Well, it's really good! It's not made with technology or hard work, and the original flavor suits my taste very well." Bai Tieying thought to himself.
