Hearing Master Zhang's voice, Ying Qingci and the others paused in their steps, then turned their heads and looked over.
"Let me ask you again, did you really draw this yourself?"
Master Zhang's eyes were very serious, even with a hint of scrutiny, and he stared directly at Ying Qingci, trying to find any trace of her lying.
"Every word is true."
"Okay, put down the drawings and I'll make them for you."
"Thank you, Master Zhang." Ying Qingci was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "Master Zhang, can I ask why you changed your mind?"
"Your drawings are very good. I don't want such good drawings to go to waste."
Although he has experienced that incident, Master Zhang is still a carpenter after all, and he still appreciates excellent and eye-catching drawings.
Naturally, I also hope that one day I can create a unique masterpiece and spread it throughout the world.
Ying Qingci nodded. She actually quite understood Master Zhang's mentality.
…
After leaving Master Zhang's house, it was time to go shopping. They had been out for a long time.
"Dad, let's go buy some meat and some quilts later. Summer is almost over now. In a few days, when the weather gets cooler, it's easy to get cold."
"Yes, I haven't forgotten it."
Ying Shuangsong nodded, "Xiao Liu, are you hungry?"
Ying Shuangsong saw a bun seller nearby and remembered that Ying Qingci hadn't had breakfast yet this morning.
"I'm not hungry, Dad, how about you?"
"I'm not hungry either."
He also ate a black noodle bun in the morning.
As they said this, they poured the dumplings in front of the bun seller. "Boss, how much do the buns cost?"
"White bread costs two cents a piece."
"Okay, give me five."
Ying Qing resigned and handed the money to the boss.
"Okay." The boss took the money and immediately beamed.
"Xiao Liu, this is too expensive..."
When he heard the price of the buns, Ying Shuangsong frowned. Two cents per bun was probably too expensive.
"It's okay, Dad, your belly is the most important thing."
After taking the bun, Ying Qingci gave it directly to Ying Shuangsong behind him.
Although he said he had eaten breakfast, Ying Qingci knew clearly that Ying Shuangsong was not full.
"Dad, you eat first, and we will go shopping later."
"good."
After eating the steamed buns, Ying Qingci glanced at Ying Shuangsong, "Dad, you go buy what Grandma asked you to buy first. I'll go to the other side to have a look."
"Okay, then just be careful on your own. After you finish shopping, go find me where we came from."
After all, Ying Qingci is still a little girl, and Ying Shuangsong still feels uneasy.
"good."
When Ying Shuangsong was no longer visible, Ying Qingci found a corner and ducked into the space.
The current space has expanded a lot compared to when it first appeared.
The mountain behind has also changed its appearance. The outermost layer of white fog has dissipated, revealing the appearance inside.
The meat and rice noodles and other grains that she had piled in the space before were still exactly the same as when they were first put in, without any change or deterioration.
When she first bought meat for convenience, Ying Qingci asked the butcher to help her cut the meat into pieces, each piece weighing about two kilograms.
Even if I bring back one or two pounds at a time, my family won’t say anything.
She took the meat and just turned around to leave when she saw the Paphiopedilum that she had dug out of the mountain before. It was swaying at the moment, bathing in the energy of life in the space, and it was particularly energetic.
There is no trace of the depressed look before.
She took one look and walked out, ready to find out if there was a place in town that sold jars.
"Hello, aunt, is there anyone selling jars in this town?"
"earthen jar?"
When the lady heard what Ying Qingci said, she raised her head and looked over, "Girl, you go straight to the end of the road, then turn a corner, and you'll find the place where you buy the jar."
"But, girl, if you don't particularly need the jar, you'd better not go there. That place is very unlucky!"
The aunt's face was full of disgust, and there was a trace of disgust in her eyes.
"Auntie, what do you say?"
The aunt looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so she spoke mysteriously.
"Girl, you don't know something. That family is really evil. Ever since they opened that shop, they have been doing bad things again and again. Either they were deceived or their son got into trouble. Over time, the neighbors all felt that the feng shui of their home was bad. If there is a problem, if you want to buy a jar, you won’t go to their house for fear of getting bad luck.”
"Okay, thank you, auntie, I understand."
Even though he said that, Ying Qingci still didn't believe it in her heart.
Sometimes, bad luck is real, but it is absolutely impossible to have bad luck every day, unless their bad luck is caused by man-made things.

"Hey, miss, look, is that Miss Ying?"
At the corner of the street, Xiao Tao stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she had seen it right. She immediately looked at her young lady with a surprised look on her face.
"Where?"
After Xie Wanyun heard Xiao Tao's words, he immediately turned his head, searched around, and finally saw Ying Qingci's figure at the corner of the street.
She looked happy and walked in the direction of Ying Qingci.
Over there, Ying Qingci had just asked for directions, but she was not ready to go now. After all, the fruit wine had not been brewed yet, and the future was still uncertain. It was too early to order a jar now.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped.
"Miss Ying."
"Miss Xie?"
When she saw the person coming, Ying Qingci's eyes flashed with surprise. Seeing Xie Wanyun, it was indeed beyond her expectation.
This is a relatively remote place in the town. How could a young lady like Xie Wanyun appear here?
"Miss Ying, it's really you. I thought we were mistaken?"
At first, Xie Wanyun thought that she had seen it wrong. Now that she saw Ying Qingci appearing in front of her, Xie Wanyun was really surprised.
"Long time no see, Miss Xie."
"Miss Ying, why are you here?"
This is a corner, what is Ying Qingci doing here for no reason?
"I came here to do some errands. Is there anything wrong with Miss Xie?"
Speaking of this, Xie Wanyun looked at Ying Qingci excitedly, "Miss Ying, thanks to the house you gave me before, my face is much better now."
At first, when he brought the things back, her mother didn't want her to use them, so she secretly let Xiaotao take the medicine herself. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, she saw the effect.
Her mother was shocked when she saw it.
"Miss Ying, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my face would still look like that."
"Ms. Xie is so polite. You paid the consultation fee."
"You don't have to call me Miss Xie, just call me Wanyun. Can I call you Qingci from now on?"
Having said that, Xie Wanyun is so old that she still doesn't have many true friends. For Qing Ci, she is not only grateful, but also likes her in her heart.
"Of course, it's a great honor."
