"Long Princess, mother-in-law, look, this is an ivory hairpin. It is carved from elephant tusks. It is as white as jade, crystal clear and translucent. It matches your temperament." Gu Ye picked up the ivory hairpin and gestured on the head of the eldest princess. .
Rare things are precious, and ivory ornaments are not cheap in Yan Kingdom, and are loved by famous ladies.
The eldest princess took a fancy to it at a glance, and turned it over and over in her hand. Gu Ye didn't say a word, and let the shopkeeper pack the bag - the price is naturally the internal price!
After leaving the Yinzhen Pavilion, Princess Rong He remembered that, didn't she want to buy something for her daughter-in-law? How come it was the daughter-in-law who bought her a hairpin in the end
"The embroidery workshop in front is also open, let's go and have a look!" Gu Ye walked down the street unhurriedly, and the candied fruit sellers passed by them. Gu Ye looked back at the bright red candied gourd, and his mouth couldn't help but move. verb: move. Ling Juechen picked one for her.
The eldest princess glared at him and said, "Your daughter-in-law can't eat hawthorn when she is pregnant!"
Ling Juechen paid the money and said to Gu Ye, "You only eat the sugar outside, and I'll eat the hawthorn inside for you!"
In fact, Gu Ye didn't particularly like eating candied haws, but she was greedy when she was pregnant and wanted to taste everything she saw. Tang Hulu was in her hands, but after taking two bites of the sugar outside, she quickly lost interest.
She threw the candied haws to her husband, and she stopped again in front of a craftsman selling candy paintings. In front of the selling sugar paintings, there was a group of children, who watched more and bought less.
Gu Ye asked the craftsman: "Can you draw a peacock to open the screen?"
The craftsman shook his head and said, "What is a peacock? I've never seen it before, so naturally I can't draw it."
Gu Ye was eager to try: "The peacock is a sacred object of the forest country, I have seen it before, or... Let me try it?"
The sugar painting seller hesitated and wanted to refuse. He still had to open a business, and he didn't want to accompany you, the sons and grandmothers of rich families, to paint and play.
Ling Juechen threw a piece of broken silver to him, enough for him to sell sugar paintings all day. Daughter-in-law likes it, and create conditions to satisfy her.
Under the guidance of the craftsman, Gu Ye tried to draw a picture of a peacock opening the screen, but the strength and speed were not well mastered, and the peacock's tail was almost mushy. Gu Ye gave the failed product to one of the little boys with patches on his clothes.
The little boy was stunned by the good thing that the pie fell from the sky, and thanked her happily - the unsuccessful candy painting was also made of candy, and children from poor families could not eat a piece of candy all year round. I did not expect to meet the big belly fairy sister today, Fulfilled his New Year's wish.
Big belly fairy sister? what the hell! Gu Ye must have the ability to read minds at this time, and he will definitely take back the candy painting in the hands of the kid.
It took people years of old craftsmanship to practice skilled sugar painting. How could Gu Ye do it in a short while? After practicing a lot of sugar syrup, the surrounding children were happy. Everyone held a crooked sugar painting in their hands and nibbled at it with a smile.
The most important thing in painting a candy painting is to have a steady hand. In the end, Ling Juechen grabbed her hand and drew a peacock to open the screen. The children all applauded and praised it for being beautiful—it was better than the artisan who sold the sugar painting!
The artisan who sells sugar paintings:…
Gu Ye gave the successful "Peacock Opening Screen" candy painting to the dear eldest princess and mother-in-law. She was interested and wanted to draw another elephant. Elephants are much simpler than peacocks, but when I did it for the first time, the trunk of the elephant was broken, and it was cheaper to join a little girl who was watching.
After practicing both sides, the elephant candy painting was completed, and she drew Kung Fu Panda, Tortoise and Hare Race... While painting, she told stories, attracting more and more children. Finally, more than 20 children, holding sugar paintings in their hands, greeted her in unison: "Sister Fairy, Happy New Year—"
Gu Ye laughed and touched his belly. Which fairy have you seen pregnant? Hmm... Didn't the Three Virgins be pregnant with agarwood? Fairies can also get pregnant, right
She also gave a piece of silver to the artisan who sold sugar paintings-she seemed to have accidentally given Huo Huo all the sugar syrup that others had boiled. It is not easy for people to stand by the side against the cold wind during the Chinese New Year.
The craftsman was so happy he didn't know what to say. I have met a kind-hearted gentleman! The money rewarded by the noble person is more than what he earns in a month, and he didn't come out of this trip in vain today.
After nibbling on the sugar painting, Gu Ye went to the cloth shop and jewelry shop, and finally stopped at the elegant restaurant upstairs in Qingfeng. Needless to say, the shops that opened this way are all properties under the name of the Hidden Soul Palace. Gu Ye looked at her husband playfully - have you exposed
What is exposed and not exposed? I didn't intend to hide from you at all! As long as the daughter-in-law is happy, all his arrangements are worth it!
In such a short period of time, there seems to be a lot more people on the street of Suzaku Street. Many people who came back from the temple fair, and others who thought the temple fair was crowded, passed by Suzaku Street and saw a shop opening, and went in curiously for a stroll.
The business of the shops in the Hidden Soul Hall turned out to be better than usual. Waiting for Gu Ye and the others to sit down in Qingfeng Building, leaning against the window and looking down, they found that there were a lot of carriages in various prefectures on the street.
Gu Ye ate the snacks that the chef specially made for them, and said with a smile: "Do we count as driving economic development? Maybe there will be a new custom of shopping on the street on the first day of the new year!"
The eldest princess had a smile on her face, and said, "My tea house should also open its doors closely with the situation. After all, if you are tired from shopping, you still have to have a place to rest!"
Gu Ye nodded: "Let's make some limited-edition snacks for the New Year - after all, there are usually more women and children who go shopping. In addition to ordinary tea, prepare some milk tea and juice."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "How does your little head grow? It's full of fresh ideas!"
Gu Ye smiled and said: "No way, I'm just so smart..."
It is the first time that Qingfeng Tower opens its doors on the first day of the Chinese New Year! Some passers-by and some well-informed people rushed over to ask if the door was open to welcome guests. Qingfeng Building has its own refrigerator, and there is no shortage of ingredients in it. Since the shopkeeper, chef and guys are all in place, money is not profitable.
What's more, the masters said that during the days off during the holidays, the wages tripled! As a result, Qingfeng Building gradually became lively. On weekdays, it would take more than half a month to reserve a table, but you can arrange it when you enter the building today! Rare opportunity!
Many people came first to take a seat, and then asked a few friends. Some not only occupy their own seats, but also occupy private rooms and places for relatives and friends, and let the servants run to inform them.
It's not a big deal after the New Year's Day greetings. I heard that Qingfeng Building is open today, and there is a limited supply of cakes. If you miss this village, you won't have this store!
