Chapter 59 - Shopping

Yue Jiaojiao gave him a face and took out the silver and some coins. Then, she looked at him in surprise. “Three hundred and sixty-four silver. Why do you have so much? Did the shopkeeper order a year’s worth of steamed meat with you?”

Zhao Zhan told her about the haggling he had with Manager Zhou, his eyes shining as he looked at Yue Jiaojiao, the corners of his mouth curling up.

“You’re so silly.”

Yue Jiaojiao ruffled his hair and gave the remaining sixty silver to Zhao Zhan. She kept the remaining three hundred silver with her. “My Zhao Zhan is very capable. Let’s go. I’ll bring you around Huai County.”

As she spoke, she took Zhao Zhan’s hand that was hanging by his side.

The smile on Zhao Zhan’s face grew even wider, and he was still giggling even after he left the inn.

“Jiaojiao, are you hungry? If you want to eat something, then we’ll go to West Street first, but if you aren’t we can go to East Street first. West Street is full of small vendors and eateries, and the environment is a little more complicated. East Street is different, it’s full of shops and restaurants. When you’re tired, you can find a restaurant to sit and rest.

“For example, the biggest restaurant in Huai County, Kelai Xiang, is on East Street. Everyone says that their crispy duck is the best in Huai County, so you must not miss it.”

“You asked the shopkeeper about this?” Yue Jiaojiao held his hand and strolled along the street. She was in high spirits as she teased him, “It sounds like a waiter who’s trying to attract customers for his own restaurant.”

“I want to know more about it so that we can take fewer unnecessary steps. I’m worried that you’ll be tired.”

“Since you’ve already investigated so thoroughly, let’s go to East Street first. After we’re done with East Street, we’ll go to West Street to see if there are any snacks to try.”

Zhao Zhan naturally couldn’t disagree with anything that was said.

Huai County had a very large dock, and there were many passenger ships and merchant ships coming and going every day, so Huai County was a relatively large trade exchange center.

Because of this, Huai County was full of shops.

Comparing the streets of Wangshan Town to it was like comparing an itinerant peddler to a treasure pavilion in the capital.

East Street was the most prosperous street in Huai County.

It would take about a few minutes to walk from the Huai Jing Inn to East Street.

Nowadays, people were more open-minded, and women didn’t need to wear veils to cover their faces.

Yue Jiaojiao’s figure was graceful and her face was beautiful like a flower. Due to her car sickness today, her entire person had a broken sense of beauty.

Zhao Zhan, who was walking beside her, had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His facial features were handsome, and his eyes had never left his lover who was beside him.

When the people on the side of the road saw them, they couldn’t help but give them a few more glances.

Yue Jiaojiao didn’t feel anything when so many people were looking at her. However, Zhao Zhan, who was walking beside her, couldn’t help but straighten his back and clench Jiaojiao’s little hand even more.

The two of them did not eat their fill at noon, and now that they were in a good mood, they felt hungry.

“Zhao Zhan, let’s go to Kelai Xiang first, shall we? Although the crispy duck might be sold out at this time, we can buy something else to try.”

“It should be in front.”

Kelai Xiang was indeed the biggest restaurant in Huai County. When the two of them entered, there were still many tables of guests eating.

Seeing that there were still people coming at this time, the waiter lazily asked, “What would you two like to eat? ”

Yue Jiaojiao raised her head and gave the waiter a cold look.

Zhao Zhan subconsciously stood in front of her. His eyes were cold. “What do you have here?”
