In the midsummer of Yaoguang City, the sun shines directly and the ground is hot enough to fry eggs.
In the open-air parking lot, as soon as the car door was opened, the hot air rushed in impatiently.
Ji Zhixin sat in the back seat and immediately felt his skin wrapped in heat, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He was originally worried about not being able to tell Lu Yao about his inconvenience in walking, but suddenly an idea came to him: "It's so hot, I won't get off the car."
Ji Feiming slowly turned his head and looked at him with a deep expression.
Lu Yao stood at the car door and looked at him strangely. "It's so stuffy in the car, are you sure you want to stay in it? The mall has air conditioning, so it won't be hot when you go in. It's your first time here, it would be nice to walk around."
Ji Zhixin was extremely embarrassed, "I..."
Ji Feiming had already gone to the back to get out the wheelchair, ready to pick him up from the car.
Ji Zhixin went to look at Lu Yao, her expression didn't change at all, and she was ready to come over to lend a hand.
"You..." Ji Zhixin's expression changed slightly, "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Ji Feiming was annoyed by his dawdling, so he just carried him down and put him in a wheelchair.
Ji Zhixin: "..."
Lu Yao couldn't help, so he stepped aside and took out his phone to check his guide notes. "There's a 'Xin Man Yuan' right at the entrance, and upstairs are 'Zhu Yuan' and 'Xing Lu Lu'. 'Tian Shang Xian' is on another street, and there's an old-fashioned tea shop in the residential area."
She had a clear goal. When she entered the store, she first ordered the new products promoted this month and the mooncakes that had already started promotions. Then she took photos openly. When she left, she packed four snacks that were of reference value in terms of flavor and appearance.
It takes an average of half an hour to queue, take photos and taste the food at each store.
After visiting three dessert shops in the mall, Lu Yao looked at the map and began looking for "Tian Shang Xian".
Ji Feiming pushed the wheelchair with one hand and carried a large stack of snack boxes with the other. Ji Zhixin was holding two more stacks in his arms.
"Uncle Ming, why do you buy so much?" Ji Zhixin had been restraining himself all the way, but he couldn't help it anymore.
He could understand liking to buy things, but this was too much.
It’s not enough to eat in the store, so I bought four servings of the same type of dim sum. In this weather, the refrigerator must be full.
Although it was also Ji Feiming's first time to accompany Lu Yao out, he was much calmer than Ji Zhixin: "Maybe it's because there are four shops."
Ji Zhixin was puzzled: "Four rooms?"
Ji Feiming: "You'll know when you get back later."
"Let's go. 'Tian Shang Xian' is just ahead." Lu Yao called out from the front.
Ji Zhixin: "..."
When the celestial being came out from heaven, the three of them all looked unhappy.
I ate too much dessert this time and it was so greasy.
This family only ordered two dishes in total, and the three of them took a long time to finish them.
Lu Yao weighed the gift bag in his hand, rubbed his brow and said, "There are too many things, let's go back to the car first."
Ji Feiming: "Are you not going to buy the traditional tea snacks?"
Lu Yao: "It's not easy to come out, I still want to buy something. But that store is hard to find, how about you two go back first?"
Ji Feiming didn't agree, and the owner didn't go back, so he didn't know how to accommodate Ji Zhixin.
Finally, the three of them returned to the car and drove along the road to look for it.
The tea shop was located in a residential area in the city center. Ji Feiming was not familiar with the route and it took him half an hour to find its approximate location.
Lu Yao asked them to wait in the car and he got out holding his cell phone.
This is a school district with complex terrain, and Lu Yao found the store according to the map.
Unfortunately, we arrived too late, and the signature dim sum and newly-released mooncakes that I wanted to buy were all sold out.
She hesitated for a long time and finally bought nothing.
When she came out of the store, she met primary school students leaving school. There were many children running fast with their schoolbags on their backs on the road. Lu Yao moved to the side of the road to avoid them. Suddenly, two little boys jumped out from behind her, ran past her quickly, holding money in their hands and shouting, "Sister Susu, I want to buy a piece of date paste cake."
Lu Yao couldn't help but look up and saw two elementary school students stopped in front of a cart on the side of the road.
A tall and thin girl stood next to the cart, surrounded by elementary school students, holding one-yuan and two-yuan bills in their hands and loudly ordering the snacks they wanted to buy.
Most of Zhou Su's customers are elementary school students. When they saw Lu Yao stopping by, they immediately took the initiative to greet him: "Old-fashioned pastries, delicious and cheap, would you like to buy some to try, Miss?"
Lu Yao took two steps closer: "Did you make it yourself?"
Zhou Su nodded: "I figured it out at home, but the taste is not bad."
She has had no other interests since she was a child, except eating and studying food.
Later, she felt that eating out was too expensive, so she started to learn how to cook on her own. After years of practice, she felt that her skills were pretty good.
She also sold old-fashioned pastries. Lu Yao took a look at the price tag and found that they were much cheaper than the pastry shop they had just visited. They also looked very fine, but he didn't know how they would taste.
She didn't buy the snacks she wanted just now, so she was a little tempted now. Since the prices were cheap anyway, she randomly picked a few.
Zhou Su packed four packages of snacks, took out two mini-packaged pastries and a pink flyer from the corner of the cart and handed them to Lu Yao, "This is a mooncake sample pack, which is more suitable for adults' taste than small snacks."
Lu Yao blinked: "Not so sweet?"
Zhou Su smiled and nodded, "If you like it, you can add my contact information to make a reservation."
"Okay, thank you." Lu Yao stuffed the flyers and snacks into his bag.
-
Shopping street.
Ji Feiming's car stopped in the middle of the road, and Lu Yao planned to deliver the snacks he bought to four stores respectively.
These are all dim sum samples she found for the store staff to refer to. They are different in appearance, taste, and production methods. She hopes that this can give them more inspiration.
After delivering snacks to the snack bar, nail salon, and blind box store, Lu Yao carried the last large portion of snacks and called Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin: "Let's go to the furry shop."
Ji Feiming stopped her and said, "Zhi Xin hasn't signed the confidentiality agreement yet."
Lu Yao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Take him to see first."
Ji Feiming was stunned. How could he watch this first
Lu Yao continued, "The contract is very formal. If you are not an employee or a guest, you don't have to sign it. I recently constructed a new memory magic. After it is cast, he will forget this experience when he comes out."
Ji Feiming: “…”
There was no such good thing when he first came.
Ji Zhixin: "..."
Magic... What era is this middle school rhetoric from
Uncle Ming didn't refute. What was going on
And this shopping street, he wanted to complain about it just now.
Why is there business in such a desolate and remote place? There are even four shops opened, and the owner is really stubborn.
Is there really anyone who comes here to consume
Lu Yao threw a temporary worker badge over, and Ji Feiming handed it to Ji Zhixin: "Wear it, you can't enter the store without it."
Ji Zhixin's expression moved slightly, his sluggish nerves gradually woke up, and he suddenly noticed something strange.
Lu Yao pushed open the main door of the furry shop, walked in first, and said loudly: "Jiuhua, Harold, we are back."
Ji Zhixin was pushed into the store by Ji Feiming, and his face gradually froze.
Harold came out of the kitchen, knife in hand, and complained habitually: "We are so busy."
Two blob seals supported their bodies with their tails and moved out of the kitchen with sashimi in their short and fat flippers. When they saw Lu Yao, their dark eyes lit up and they whimpered with joy.
Due to a shortage of human staff, seals were forced to take over.
Lu Yao raised the box in his hand and said, "I brought some snacks, let's eat together later."
The guests next to him heard this and looked over eagerly: "We want to eat too."
Lu Yao nodded generously: "I bought a lot, enough to eat."
At this time, two guests came in from the door, and the octopus and the moon jellyfish passed through the transparent film and turned into a man and a woman.
Ji Zhixin had just managed to control his expression when he lost control again.
