Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 196: Turning to Xibao City (2)
Yue Ke retracted his gaze and said: "Housemaster, the meal that Miss just mentioned is almost here. Wait a moment, there will be a lot of people coming and going on the streets in the city, and there will be a lot of customers in this shop. We are here." The time is just right. If we come a little later, the food will probably be served very slowly."
Yue Qing said: "Do you want to have lunch so early?"
San Yuxiao smiled and said, "It's late. You think it's early because you woke up too late. If you wake up late, you'll have breakfast late."
Yue Qing glanced at him, smiled and said, "Okay." Then she looked out the window, "Actually, I think there are quite a lot of people now. Will there be more people later?"
"Of course, most of the work in the villa has a lunch break. People will come out to shop, eat, and get together with friends."
"Lunch break, you also have a lunch break."
Yue Ke said: "There are some in the villa."
"What do you mean, it's different outside?"
Yue Ke said: "Of course it is different. In most countries outside the Villa, many professions do not have a lunch break from morning to night, but they will still be given time to eat."
"oh."
Yue Ke continued: "However, when it comes to crowded times, it is before nightfall, when there are really many people."
"Oh, it's a pity. I don't plan to go shopping until evening today. I'll be exhausted."
Yue Ke chuckled.
The waiter brought the food and put it on the table one by one. While placing it, he introduced the names of the dishes. They were all very elegant. If he hadn't pointed and introduced, Yue Qing might not have been able to tell which dish they were. Just went out.
Yue Qing glanced at the food on the table. The color was not as good as the ones she ate in the courtyard. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to take a bite. Cai'er stopped her and said, "Master, let me taste it first."
Yue Qing glanced at her, "Why are you trying the dishes? It's not necessary."
Yue Ke picked up the chopsticks and said, "Cai'er did the right thing, it's still necessary." He picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.
"Yes, the chef's skills are still so good." Then he tasted all the other dishes. After a while he said: "Master, you can eat."
Yue Qing frowned: "You are really cautious. You don't plan on me doing this outside in the future."
San Yuxiao said: "Not in the future, you will always try the food before bringing it in. It is necessary to be careful."
Yue Qing snorted softly: "Whatever, I'll have a taste." She picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth.
Yue Ke smiled and asked, "How?"
"Well, let's talk a bit."
"It's not to the hospital owner's taste. Because you wanted to know our eating habits here, you didn't tell the kitchen to cook according to the hospital's taste."
Yue Qing took a bite of other dishes and asked, "Do you usually eat food like this?"
"right."
"No wonder, the tasteless cakes I ate on the road tasted so good that I couldn't eat them. How do you know what flavor I like to eat?"
"Of course it's Xiao Lingwei's work."
Yue Qing glanced at Chang Yuxiao. "Oh, yes, the first time I asked for food here, I asked him to cook it for me."
I tasted them all and found that the taste was generally bland and less oily and watery. There are also few seasonings in it.
"Okay, I know what you usually eat. You've ordered everything, eat it. Give it to Cai'er, eat more meat." After saying that, he put a piece of meat into Cai'er's bowl.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
When she came down from upstairs, there were indeed a lot of people on the first floor. Yue Qing took a look and saw that the tables on both sides were full. Many of the tables were filled with mothers and children, or families. Although Yue Qing didn't know what it was like outside the villa, women shouldn't be able to go out casually, let alone take their children out to eat. Yue Qing smiled: "Not bad."
Yue Ke walked beside her, "What's good?"
“Nice atmosphere.”
Yue Ke said: "Xibaocheng is honored to be praised by Miss Huang."
The guys were busy running around, and they didn't forget to say hello when they saw them.
There was a new person at the counter, and he was no longer the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper greeted the guests at the door, and greeted them with a smile no matter who they were. After a while of welcome, he said hard, and when he saw the children, he would also ask if they had studied well today. Seeing Yue Qing and the others coming down, they glanced at Yue Qing, then turned to Yue Ke and said, "Second Young Master, have you finished eating?"
"Eat well, the chef is very good at it."
"Just eat well, San'er. I'll give Master Ke two free dishes."
The person behind the counter nodded and said, "Okay."
Yue Ke smiled and said: "Let's do it next time. I don't dare to do it when Mo Xue is here today. I'll waive the bill next time when he's not here."
Mo Xue turned to look at him. The shopkeeper said: "Okay, I will definitely give you a free order next time."
Yue Ke paid the bill and the group left the restaurant.
Mo Xue said: "If you can't help it, you can't help it. Use me as an excuse."
Yue Ke said: "It's hard to refuse the shopkeeper's hospitality. I'll definitely disagree if I tell you directly."
Yue Qing smiled and said: "People say the bill is free, why are you so polite?"
"That's okay. Not to mention what will happen in the law enforcement hall, Miss Huang will definitely not like it either."
"How do you know I don't like it?"
Yue Ke did not answer, but asked: "Where do you want to go next?"
Yue Qing snorted, thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's go visit your shops here. What is the most famous product in your city? Or the most unique one."
Without thinking, Yue Ke replied: "The most distinctive thing about Xibao City is of course jewelry. It used to be called Xibao City, but later it was renamed Xibao City because it is rich in jewelry."
"Okay, then let's go visit your jewelry store."
Yue Ke nodded and said: "If you want to see jewelry, there is nothing particularly good around here. You have to take a car to somewhere else."
"Is it quite far from here?"
"It will be a long road for the hospital owner."
"Well, okay, it's up to you."
The group of people got on the carriage again, and Yue Ke pointed Qi Jiao to drive in another direction.
Yue Qing looked outside, "There are really a lot of children at this time. I remember didn't Lord Yue say that the place you live here is separate from these?"
"They are separated. This is still a residential area, and there are some outside in the commercial area. And even in the commercial area, there are children who know how to shop or the children of workers who work there playing in the street."
"If they are running up and down the street like this, won't they be hit by a carriage? What if someone rides a horse too fast. Or the horse is startled or something."
Yue Ke: "No horse racing is allowed in the city except for the main road that the hospital owner took when he came last time. I remember that the city owner seemed to have told the hospital owner that the schools in the city are built in separate places, which will be more convenient for the children. The same goes for going to school and living. People in different areas live in different places. Commercial areas are not only for business, but for living, but they are all businessmen, craftsmen, or clerks. Farmers live The place is near the fields, and the place where the masters live is near the school. People usually choose to walk when traveling. If they really want to go somewhere farther away, they will arrange the time in advance to go out earlier."
"Oh, that's it. I thought there would be no one in the business district at night."
Yue Ke smiled and said: "How could it be? There are still people."
"The management here is really very regular. Is it like this in other cities?"
"Most of them are like this. It's just that our Xibao has more people engaged in the jewelry production industry, so the shop area will be larger. In some cities, if there are more people engaged in agriculture, the field area will be larger."
"Oh, that's it. You know so much, San Yuxiao, do you know this too?"
San Yuxiao had been acting as a transparent person next to her. Seeing Yue Qing point her in the eye, she replied: "I only know that there are many jewelry stores here. As for the others, I don't know."
Yue Qing looked at Yue Ke again: "Did you grow up here?"
"right."
"Where's Mo Xue? Mo Xue also grew up here?"
Mo Xue replied: "No, I grew up in a villa."
"Oh, doesn't that mean that you and Yue Ke grew up together?"
Mo Xue said: "His family has had several heads of the Yue family, so they will naturally go to the villa often, and sometimes they will take him with them. Our Mo family also often sends people to teach in the city of the villa. I have been here with my father several times. The two families are very familiar with each other.”
"Oh, then you often come to play with Yue Ke, right?"
Mo Xue said with a cold face: "I'm here to learn."
Yue Ke smiled: "Master, you don't think he likes to play often. Naturally, I often play with him. Otherwise, he can stay at home all day long."
"Mo Xue is still a homebody. I remembered that a friend of mine also really likes to stay at home and not go out. He is more homebody than you. You will go out and do something at least, but he stays at home and paints all day long."
Yue Ke: "Oh, friends who like painting?"
"Yes, the painting is very good. San Yuxiao, do you remember that he caught a squirrel for me when I came to the villa? I described it to you, and he drew it after listening to me. It looks so similar. The resemblance is amazing.”
Chang Yuxiao nodded.
Yue Ke continued: "What a coincidence, Mo Xue also has such a friend, who likes to stay at home as much as he does, and also particularly likes to draw."
Yue Qing looked at Mo Xue: "Really? That's a coincidence. My friend's name is Qiu Yunfang. He is a very gentle person. It's a pity that you can't meet him. Could you please introduce me to him?"
Yue Ke was surprised: "Qiu? Is the hospital master's friend's surname Qiu?"
"Yes. Qiu Yunfang, don't listen to the fact that his name sounds a bit girly. He is a very handsome boy. He is a little older than me. I didn't know him at first. Qi Yilin took me to find a painter friend, and then we met. We knew each other. Then the two of them had a big fight, and now no one talks to each other."
"That's even more coincidental. Mo Xue's friend is also named Qiu."
"Huh? Really? What a coincidence. What's his name?"
Mo Xue didn't answer, Yue Ke answered for him: "Qiu Yu."
After hearing this, Cai'er said: "But that is the Jade Master who is also known as the top five in the world."
Yue Ke nodded.
Yue Qing turned to look at Cai'er: "Do you know her?"
Cai'er said: "How do I know him? I've only heard of it. The director of the courtyard should have heard of it too. Do you still remember the last time you went to see Deacon Xue to play before Chang Song had a conflict with the director of Wutong Academy?"
"Remember, didn't I tell you that Deacon Snow is one of the five unique talents in the world? The other four unique talents are Mr. Yu's paintings, Mr. Qin's piano, Mr. Wen's calligraphy, and Mr. Shi's chess. I heard that Mr. Yu's The paintings are particularly lifelike, and the pictures of beauties, landscapes, flowers and birds are all painted as if they were alive. His paintings are hard to find in various countries. It's just a pity. I heard that these young men don't seem to be in good health."
Yue Qing turned to look at Mo Xue, "Really? Mo Xue, is he close to the villa? If not, let's go visit him this time. I would like to meet this Mr. Wu Jue."
