Xiaoman and his group soon arrived at the private room, which was located on the third floor of the house, close to the window, so they could see everything downstairs clearly.
The furnishings inside the box are also very fresh. There are seats all around, but a large open space in the middle, where a large table is placed.
Next to the table were some picture albums. Seeing Xiaoman's curious eyes, Chen Da looked at Xiaoman with pride: "How about it? Look at the environment here. It's very good, right?"
"And you see these albums, they were drawn by Daddy and I. Whenever we have a new pot of flowers, we draw an album for the flowers and put it here for people to choose from."
"After you've made your selection, you can go and see the real flowers, or have them delivered to you. This way, there will be fewer people walking around, and our business will be much better."
Xiaoman looked at Chen Da with a smile: "Daddy is really amazing. He is so good at doing business. It seems that the business here is really good."
Chen Da touched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's mainly because the location is a bit remote, but the business is still very good. Many nobles buy their flowers from us."
"Speaking of which, most of the flowers here come from the princess's villa. We lack a talent who can independently research and grow more beautiful and unique flowers."
Hearing this, Xiaoman narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Then Aunt Xiang's coming is just in time, Aunt Xiang, take a look at the flowers in these albums, are there any that catch your eye?"
Aunt Xiang is a flower lover, so she was not polite and started looking at the album. Chen Da looked at Xiaoman curiously: "Aunt Xiang?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Dad, don't look at Aunt Xiang's young age. She is a real flower lover. Flowers are kind to people like her. She is very good at growing flowers."
"As for the problem you were worried about just now, just leave it all to Aunt Xiang. Speaking of which, it's better for you to cultivate these flowers in the other courtyard."
"When we've finished shopping, we'll send Aunt Xiang over there."
Aunt Xiang looked up at Xiaoman and said, "County Lady, I don't want to go out shopping anymore. Can I go and see those real flowers?"
Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Haha, I forgot that you are the kind of person who can't move when you see flowers. If that's the case, then that's fine."
"I'll ask the shopkeeper to take you to see the flowers and potted plants first, and then I'll have someone come to pick you up when we go to the other courtyard."
As they were talking, someone had already been sent to call the shopkeeper, who came over quickly and, following Xiaoman's instructions, took Aunt Xiang directly to see the flowers and plants.
Chen Da also stood up at this time: "Okay, we have seen enough here, let's go and look at the flowers and plants, are you interested?"
Xiaoman shook her head: "I have no interest in flowers and plants. Let's go to the food court. I didn't eat much in the morning, but I came here to see if there is anything delicious."
Gu Xiangning couldn't help laughing: "You still like to eat as always."
Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Gu Xiangning: "Life is only for temporary happiness, and we are happiest when we eat. Of course we can't give up. Let's go."
Xiaoman said as she walked over to the two little kids and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious. You can eat whatever you want."
Chen Qi immediately became happy: "Really? Thank you, sister. You are the best."
As he said that, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and hold Xiaoman's hand, and Xiaoman took Chen Qi and walked away together. Kaikai didn't want his father to hold him anymore.
Instead, he walked behind Xiaoman and pulled her skirt: "Sister, there's me too!"
When Xiaoman heard the little guy's cry, she stopped listening and looked back at Kaikai: "Oh, there's our Kaikai! Come, sister will hold your hand too."
In the blink of an eye, Gu Xiangning's face darkened again. Xiaoman even glanced at Gu Xiangning and then burst into laughter: "Gu Xiangning, can you not be so stingy!"
Gu Xiangning suddenly felt helpless. Although they were just two little boys, he felt uncomfortable seeing his fiancée holding his hands on the left and right like this.
He coughed and wanted to say something about physical contact between men and women, but it seemed that they were not yet of that age, so Gu Xiangning could only feel depressed inwardly, but still followed Xiaoman's life closely.
Chen Da found this situation funny and wanted to call all his children back so that Gu Xiangning and Xiaoman could get along with each other, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
The two of them held the little girl and followed behind again. Soon they finished walking along the street that passed by the gardening shops. When they turned around, they saw that there were obviously many more people on this street.
And they were holding food in their hands, it seemed that they had arrived at the so-called food street. Xiaoman sniffed, and the whole air was filled with the aroma of food.
There was a special and refreshing smell inside. Xiaoman sniffed and walked over with the two children. When they arrived at the destination, they saw that it was a tofu shop.
But what they sell is not raw tofu, but some cooked tofu. Looking at Xiaoman and his group of people, the owner of the tofu shop is a woman.
"Welcome, everyone. What would you like to eat?"
Xiaoman saw that the woman was pretty, so he smiled at her and asked, "What do you sell here?"
The female boss smiled and said, "We have tofu brain, tofu pudding, and soy milk. What would you like to eat?"
Xiaoman then looked down at his two younger brothers: "Xiaoqi, Kaikai, what do you want to eat?"
Kaikai tilted his head and thought for a while before speaking: "Aunt Xishi's tofu pudding is the most delicious. I want to eat it, sister."
Xiao Qi beside her also nodded. It was obvious that the two little ones had eaten here before: "Sister, the tofu pudding here is delicious. You can try it."
Xiaoman nodded, but looked at the proprietress with some curiosity. She was still somewhat interested in the Aunt Xishi that Kaikai mentioned. Could it be that there was a tofu seller named Xishi in this world
Is she called Tofu Xishi? But seeing how young her brother is, it's hard to tell, and now she's looking at this little guy.
I guess she didn't have any other thoughts as her eyes were fixed on Tofu Xishi's bowl. Tofu Xishi was obviously also amused by Kaikai.
"Young Master, wait a moment. I'll get you a bowl now."
Tofu Xishi moved quickly and served the tofu pudding directly, a total of six bowls, and placed them on the table. Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning also sat down.
After smelling it, he said: "This smell is really fragrant, and with a little bit of chili, it really is a familiar smell."
Gu Xiangning glanced at Xiaoman with some curiosity: "Xiaoman, where have you eaten this before? Is it familiar?"
Hearing this, Xiaoman stuck out her tongue and said, "My sister used to make it herself, but it was very troublesome, so she rarely made it. I never thought I could eat it here."
As she said this, she scooped a spoonful of tofu pudding into her mouth. Of course, Xiaoman would not tell Gu Xiangning that this was one of her favorite snacks in her previous life.
I haven't eaten it for a long time in this era. I didn't expect to be able to eat it again. I miss it so much. While eating, Xiaoman drank two bowls of tofu pudding in a row before stopping.
When paying, Chen Da gave Tofu Xishi an extra ounce of silver. Tofu Xishi was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Da: "Master Chen, this is too much. It's not worth so much money."
Hongyue smiled and said, "Xishi, just accept it. Just consider it as a thank you for making it delicious and making Xiaoman happy."
When Xiaoman heard the name Xishi again, he looked at Xishi with some curiosity. Instead of saying anything, he nodded to wipe the corners of his two younger brothers' mouths.
Xishi looked at Xiaoman in confusion, wondering who this woman was. Why were Mr. and Mrs. Chen so kind to her? Chen Da seemed to have seen through Xishi's thoughts.
"Oh, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my eldest daughter. She just came back and plans to stay home and play for a few more days."
Xishi was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this was the famous Princess Yongxi. Just as she was about to salute, Xiaoman had already stood up and said, "Dad, I've almost finished eating. Let's go."
“This place has good stuff.”
After saying this, he turned and left without giving Xi Shi a chance to greet him. She didn't want to be asked to kneel down on the street as she walked along. How could she go shopping then
Until Xiaoman and his group walked out, Xishi was still staring at their backs in a daze. Xiaoman touched his stomach and found that there were a lot of food on this snack street.
There were fast food restaurants and all kinds of snacks, even malatang and oden from later times. Xiaoman blinked.
"Who designed this snack street? It's so talented."
Chen Da was amused when he heard Xiao Man's question: "Come to think of it, there are members from you and the palace here, and many of the ideas came from the palace."
So that's how it is. I guess Qian Jiujiu has never used this method before, so the people in the palace learned it. Xiaoman is no longer studying this issue.
Instead, I bought a few sticks of oden to eat. After a while, I smelled a very peculiar stench. It happened that Xiaoman also liked this smell.
Of course, I was also curious, why is there even this? Looking at Chen Da: "Dad, what does this taste like?"
Chen Da smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this taste is also a feature of the entire snack street. This is stinky tofu. Don't be fooled by the smell, it tastes very good."
"Speaking of which, there is a little conflict between Dong Shi and Xi Shi who sell stinky tofu. Both of them like to study tofu, but one of them studies the fragrance."
"One of them smells bad, but they both taste just as good. Dad will take you over to try it and you'll know."
Xiaoman had eaten a lot of stinky tofu in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with the taste. However, out of curiosity about the so-called Dong Shi, he went along.
I just don't know what this Dong Shi looks like? Is she ugly
