Xiao Nianzhi deeply agreed with Aunt Yu's words.
The food in the academy is indeed too cheap!
Seeing the little girl nodding, the smile on Aunt Yu's face added a little more: "However, the capital is the capital of the country after all, so it is normal for things to be more expensive. Moreover, the mutton cakes we just ate were made of solid materials. After calculating the cost, In fact, it’s not cheap, so for fourteen pennies a piece, it’s hard-earned money, and the ginger milk steamed cake also takes a lot of effort to make..."
At this point, Aunt Yu couldn't help but smile: "If you comfort yourself in this way, you will feel much more comfortable, and we will also enjoy it after eating. Let's go and make some clothes first."
Xiao Nianzhi didn't particularly care about money. She was still thinking that she would go out this time to buy something for her second and third brothers.
The ink tablets were given as a gift before, so I won’t need to buy them again for a while.
But paper is consumed very quickly, so you can buy some.
As for books, Xiao Nianzhi didn't know the progress of their study and what they would need, so he didn't spend money on them.
It's just that I only sent some paper, which is a bit shabby, so let's buy some snacks.
As the sun rises, so does the temperature.
Chang'an Street is also becoming more and more lively, and people passing by and acquaintances will stop and chat for a few words.
When the conversation is enjoyable, they will invite each other to sit for a while in a teahouse or snack shop on the street.
Of course, most of those who can go in and sit there have no worries about food and drink.
More people may still be running for their lives.
The tailor shop that Aunt Yu often went to was on Chang'an Street. After the two of them passed by, they first went to a shop called "Jinxiuzhuang".
After entering, the waiter greeted me warmly.
Aunt Yu brought her own ingredients, but she didn't tell Xiao Nianzhi.
On the way, Aunt Yu also said that she didn't need to take him.
The materials given to Xiao Nianzhi before were not very suitable for summer. They were probably only two or three pieces. You can save them for later.
Aunt Yu had ready-made materials in her hands. She specially asked people to bring them from Zhuangzi, gauze materials suitable for summer.
There are also various kinds of fabrics in tailor shops, and the prices are of course not low.
The most common cotton cloth in the shop costs about 200 yuan a piece. If you put this price in Chenzhou, you can buy a piece of fine cotton and still have some leftover.
The prices are even more expensive, and the craftsmanship fee for making them is about one hundred yuan.
With prices in the capital like this, Xiao Nianzhi felt that he had no choice but to face reality.
It's not like she hasn't experienced it in modern times.
Therefore, it is good to be bearish.
The most important thing is that she now has enough money and a stable job, so buying some daily food is considered a normal expense and there is no need to worry.
However, Aunt Yu didn't want her to spend money.
This time when she went out, she just waved her hand and said, "Come on, spend as much as you like, my aunt will pay for it."
After taking measurements, Aunt Yu not only picked the cloth for Xiao Nianzhi, she also picked it herself.
When the final reckoning came, Xiao Nianzhi actively came over.
Unfortunately, Aunt Yu didn't give her this chance and stopped her directly: "Aunt Yu is taking you out, why do you need to spend money?"
One sentence left Xiao Nianzhi speechless.
She is now thinking in her mind, if they don't go back to the academy at night, what will they eat in Zhuangzi?
She had to repay her aunt a little, otherwise she would bear the loss!
The clothes couldn't come out for a while, so Aunt Yu added some money and asked the other party to finish them and send them to the Imperial College.
She was considered an old customer, so she added more money, and the shopkeeper readily agreed.
After the clothes were settled, Aunt Yu took Xiao Nianzhi and went shopping happily.
The snack shop here has fresh gadgets, just hear the keyword: sweet.
Aunt Yu would stop and observe to see if it was as the stall owner said.
If true, then buy, buy, buy!
At this time, Aunt Yu no longer cared about how much flesh she had gained.
It doesn’t matter, as long as you don’t eat at night!
There are many snacks in summer, but candy is rare.
Because of the high temperature, the candy melts easily.
Therefore, even those big snack shops don’t have many candies.
Even if it existed, it wasn't particularly good. Xiao Nianzhi looked at it and was not satisfied.
It just so happened that she was going to make condensed milk later, so it seemed like she could start working on maltose.
Part of it will be used to make condensed milk, and the rest will be divided between Aunt Yu and Xiao Qing who is far away in Qingsong Academy.
The second brother is older and I don’t know whether he likes sweets or not?
When the time comes, you can leave some for him.
Because the sun was so bright, Aunt Yu couldn't hold on after walking around for a while.
Then, the two of them went to Shuiyun Pavilion early.
After Aunt Yu entered, the waiter greeted her equally enthusiastically. Without Aunt Yu saying anything, the waiter invited the two of them to the second floor.
The private room is next to the window and is very clean.
After Aunt Yu and Xiao Nianzhi sat down, she didn't need the waiter to say anything. She told Xiao Nianzhi with great interest: "The elbows and Dongpo pork here are good, and the fried vegetables are also delicious. Three fresh noodles and sugar cakes are both available.”
When the waiter saw that Aunt Yu had stopped talking, he hurriedly added a few things with a smile, and finally emphasized: "It's hot and it's hard to store elbows, so I didn't prepare much today. There isn't much left in the kitchen now. If you want to order, I can As soon as possible."
Xiao Nianzhi was indeed prepared to try it, although he was shocked by the prices in the capital in the morning.
But, isn’t this what happened?
The two of them quickly ordered their food. They didn't have big appetites and didn't want to waste it.
So, I ordered an elbow, two portions of Dongpo pork, a plate of sugar shortbread, a bowl of three fresh noodles, and a pot of jasmine tea to relieve my boredom.
While waiting for the food, Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu either talked or looked out the window.
As a result, this look made Xiao Nianzhi see someone who was unlucky.
Lu Jingyuan.
I didn't know what he looked like before, and I didn't feel anything about him when I met him on the street.
But after the last encounter in the Imperial College, Xiao Nianzhi now felt extremely unlucky when he saw this face, and even the joy of going out today was reduced by three points.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't show anything on his face, nor did he avoid the other party in particular. He looked around casually and quickly looked away without interest.
Lu Jingyuan seemed to feel something and raised his head to look.
All I saw was a swaying light pink.
That was the color of the short shirt Xiao Nianzhi wore today. It was light pink and embroidered with colorful butterflies among flowers.
Although Xiao Nianzhi only showed a touch of light pink, Lu Jingyuan saw Aunt Yu with sharp eyes.
However, the other party's eyes did not fall on their side, but looked to the opposite side.
Originally, Lu Jingyuan wanted to say hello, but he was more curious about what Aunt Yu was looking at, so he subconsciously turned his head and looked to the other side.
The second update is at 15:00, the third update is at 19:00
