We were going to buy New Year's goods today, so Li Qingzhi only looked at Li Damao and the others' homework from yesterday and did not teach them any new knowledge.
In this way, around ten o'clock in the morning, they have nothing to do and can go out to buy things.
Li Qingzhi asked the two children: "Let's go buy New Year's goods first, and then go to eat. What do you want to eat?"
"Qingyun Tower!" Li Ermao said without hesitation.
"That won't work. Going to Qingyunlou for dinner is too expensive. Let's eat something else." Li Qingzhi said. Qingyunlou was opened by Chang Duan. One third of the dishes Chang Duan cooked were from the Chang Family Cookbook, which he could cook. One third were modern dishes that he taught Chang Duan to cook, which he could still cook. The remaining one third were new dishes that Chang Duan had come up with by combining other dishes, but he could cook them if he wanted to.
He was not very interested in Qingyunlou. The most important thing was that it was easy to meet people he knew when he went to Qingyunlou for dinner.
It would be fine if I met someone who knew him, but it would be troublesome if I met someone who knew Qi Jun.
"Is it expensive to dine at Qingyun Tower? I have some banknotes here..." Qi Jun wanted to pay immediately.
Li Qingzhi said: "Uncle Liu, I am not short of money. I am not going to Qingyun Tower to avoid meeting acquaintances."
After hearing what Li Qingzhi said, Qi Jun immediately realized that it was not suitable for him to go to Qingyun Tower for dinner.
"Then what are we going to eat? Dad, I want to eat something delicious!" Li Ermao said.
Li Qingzhi suggested: "Shall we go eat roast duck?"
Li Ermao asked: "Is the roast duck delicious?"
Li Qingzhi laughed: "That's delicious!"
As long as it tastes good, Li Damao and Li Ermao are very interested in roast duck.
"Let's go!" Li Qingzhi put hats, gloves and scarves on the two children, and put the same hat and scarf on Qi Jun.
Seeing this situation, the two guards around Qi Jun also disguised themselves.
The two guards around Qi Jun usually do not appear in front of officials, but there is no guarantee that someone may know them, so it is better to be careful.
After getting dressed, everyone went to stroll around the nearby streets together.
They first went to the grocery store recommended by Lord Ping to buy things. After buying a lot, they asked the store owner to find someone to deliver them back to them. Then they continued strolling around and bought some miscellaneous things.
Among all the people, Li Laogen was the most excited. He wanted this and that and wanted to buy everything.
"Ah Qing, I want to try that fried dough twist!"
"Ah Qing, that sesame seed cake looks delicious."
"Ah Qing, that hat is so pretty!"
…
Li Laogen didn't dare to go to those stores that looked very expensive, nor did he dare to buy those things that looked expensive, but if he saw small things on the street that he liked, he would buy them, and he bought more than Li Ermao.
He used to be like this when he went to the night market in Chongcheng County, and he is no exception now.
These were just small amounts of money, and since he wanted them, Li Qingzhi bought them for him, and also bought one for Qi Jun as well.
During this period of time, Qi Jun was competing with Li Laogen all day long, as if he was vying for favor in front of him, and Li Qingzhi felt it.
In this case, he must find a way to balance it.
Qi Jun has a good temper and would not really bother with Li Laogen, an old country man, but it is better to avoid conflicts between the two of them if possible.
