Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

As long as you have money, it is not difficult to find a place to stay. Soon the two came to the door of a small inn.

Compared with the busy pier, this place is slightly quieter. From time to time, pedestrians pass by leisurely, and you can hear the noise if you listen closely.

The waiter who was standing at the door looking for customers saw the plainly dressed Jiang Huaixu waving to him. Although he looked a little impatient, he still stepped forward and asked, "Ask me if you want to know anything. Don't delay my business!"

While he was talking, he kept glancing down the street. Just looking at Jiang Huaixu's and his two men's attires, he knew that they couldn't afford to stay in his inn.

Jiang Huaixu threw over a piece of silver and said, "Stay in the hotel and prepare some food for us later."

The waiter hurriedly took the money, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled brightly at the two of them: "Please come in, sir!"

After completely settling down, Li Qiaoer touched the soft bed and felt it was very unreal.

What did her parents tell her before she came? I can't eat well or sleep well, and I have to run around. If I encounter a robber, I have to decide whether I can go back alive... How about staying in an inn?

"Sister Qiaoer? Sister Qiaoer?"

The continuous shouting woke her up, and she subconsciously lowered her voice, "Sister Axu...what's wrong?"

"Let's go down and eat. I'm a little hungry." Jiang Huaixu said.

After days of running around and being seasick, the two of them had not had a very good appetite for several days in a row, but now they had an appetite after they landed ashore.

Especially Futuan kept urging her, as if she was reincarnated by a starving ghost.

"okay."

As soon as the two of them came downstairs, the waiter came over and said, "Sit over here, the food is ready. If you need anything, just say hello, I'm always here for you!"

When he saw the blessing group at Jiang Huaixu's feet, he subconsciously hid with a look on his face: "Sir, does this big cat belong to your family?"

Jiang Huaixu sat down in his seat and nodded: "It's mine. Don't worry, it's just a fatter cat and won't bite."

After hearing what Jiang Huaixu said, the waiter was no longer nervous, but he still didn't dare to get close.

Jiang Huaixu picked up a piece of raw fish with chopsticks and tasted it. It was tender and smooth in the mouth, with a slight aftertaste, which was not bad.

"Xiaoer, can I ask you something?" She took out a handful of coins from her bag and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter smiled so hard that his eyes crinkled, "You can ask, sir, as long as I know, there's nothing wrong with me!"

"I...my brother," she pointed at Li Qiaoer, "is the most delicious in my life. We finally came to Huaizhou and want to taste the local delicacies. Do you have any recommendations?"

Li Qiaoer raised her head and drank tea quietly. If you look closely, you will find that her slightly yellow hands are trembling slightly after applying turmeric powder.

The waiter didn't notice anything strange about her at all, and said to Jiang Huaixu eloquently: "When it comes to eating, the best place to go is Wangyue Tower. It is a first-class place! Not only is there all kinds of food and wine, but also every mid-month. Or during festivals, there will be boats for boating on the lake, as well as dancers and musicians... But," he rubbed his fingers, "it will naturally cost a lot."

"When it comes to cheap places, there are plenty of them. Just find a teahouse, wine shop or street stall. There is always something new to eat. I guarantee that you two will not be disappointed!"

Jiang Huaixu thought for a moment, "What's so new about the food you mentioned? Is it a novel way to cook it, a novel seasoning, or is there some secret recipe?"

The waiter felt that the little girl was asking a strange question, but for the sake of the money, he still put up a smile and answered patiently, "The methods are just the same, and there are secret recipes. As for the seasoning, I heard that there is some five-spice powder recently. The food is more delicious, but very expensive. We are a small shop with a small business, and we don’t have any connections. If you two want to try it, just go to Wangyue Tower."

Jiang Huaixu and Li Qiaoer looked at each other, and Li Qiaoer said roughly: "Go down!"

Only then did the waiter pay attention to Li Qiaoer, looked at her twice more, and then left after saying yes.

Just when Li Qiaoer was about to ask something, Jiang Huaixu gave her a drumstick from the steamed chicken, "Brother, let's eat quickly. I want to go out for a walk later."

"Yes." After suppressing what he wanted to say, Li Qiaoer buried his head in eating, looking up at the fortune dumplings from time to time.

The Fu Tuan was so full that it couldn't hold its head up. Jiang Huaixu would eat whatever he picked up, and would ask for more chopsticks when he ate something delicious.

Is this the system or the ancestors? Jiang Huaixu thought to herself that she had never served anyone like this.

[Host, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly. 】

【Eat yours. 】

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, they left the inn.

"Axu, is it possible that the five-spice powder here is our five-spice powder? Someone has already sold it to Huaizhou?" Li Qiaoer was worried.

"There are a lot of keen people, so it's not surprising if someone sells here. Don't worry, we have our advantages." Jiang Huaixu was very confident. "Besides, this is not a bad thing. At least it can let us know that there is no shortage of buyers for five-spice powder in Huaizhou."

Li Qiaoer nodded, "Then we are going to Wangyue Tower now?"

"Don't worry about this. Let's go to the grain store, medicine store and spice store first."

After wandering around for a long time, the two of them sighed at the same time when they walked out of the last spice shop: "It's so expensive!"

The most expensive one is Styrax, which is as big as a fingernail and costs one or two gold.

When Jiang Huaixu asked this, the waiter who introduced them almost had the word "surprised" engraved on his forehead, and then told them about the value of Su Hexiang in a weird way.

She didn't want to buy it, she had it herself, and she had quite a lot of it from Prince Duan's Mansion. She just wanted to learn more.

"The prices in Huaizhou are two or three times higher than those in Beichuan County. Normally, our five-spice powder can also increase by this much. It's just that it's here. Let's see."

"Well, anyway, we only brought twenty kilograms of five-spice powder this time. We should be able to sell it when we leave."

Jiang Huaixu suggested, "Brother, let's go buy some outfits and go to Wangyue Tower tomorrow to have a look, otherwise I'm worried about being kicked out before I even get in."

Li Qiaoer bit her lip. When she came, her parents had already given her all the money at home. Even Shuanghua had touched the money she had saved. This was the first time she had brought so much money alone, and she was scared along the way. Those who are afraid of losing or being robbed may not even have enough money for a meal.

Jiang Huaixu continued: "Before leaving, the village chief gave me a lot of money for the two of us to spend. We don't have to use it in vain. Anyway, we can earn it back later."

"Axu, my parents prepared this for me, take it." Li Qiaoer grabbed Jiang Huaixu's hand and placed the purse in her palm, "I don't seem to be able to help you... ·”

Jiang Huaixu shook his head, "Brother, this is wrong. Have you ever thought about what you would do if we got separated and you were penniless? I definitely can't accept this money."

After saying that, she walked forward slowly with her hands behind her back, "I am so eloquent because I am gifted, but there are not so many gifted people in the world. As long as you don't forget the original purpose of coming here, listen more and see more. Learn to speak more, and sooner or later you will be able to stand alone."

Li Qiaoer thought thoughtfully. She was not smart, but she was not stupid either. After only half a day, the energy she had given her in her heart had dissipated a lot, and she increasingly felt that she was a drag. But after hearing what A Xu said, she suddenly Courage was born again.

It doesn't matter if she is dumber or slower, as long as she is willing to learn over time, she can always learn it.

"Yeah!" Li Qiaoer laughed, "Axu, I can definitely do it."

The two walked away laughing and chatting, went to a clothing store to pick out two suitable clothes, and then went to a jewelry store to pick out some jewelry, and finally returned home with a full load.

"Get away! Get away from me!"

On the way back to the inn, I heard noises in the distance.

"Lu Hui, don't blame us. Who put your father in debt? He died simply and left you two alone. Tsk! You will be homeless in the future. If you want to blame someone, look for you. father!"

There were so many people watching the excitement that the entire road was squeezed into only a crack. Jiang Huaixu and Li Qiaoer could only say "give way" while walking forward with difficulty.
