Chapter 201 A Day Trip to Shi'an City
After obtaining permission from Yang, the yamen runner.
Wen Qilin led Wen Wen and her group out of the inn.
Also accompanying them were Ye Jingchuan and Wen Qikang, a married couple.
Ye Jingchuan said there were many medicinal herbs here, and he wanted to try his luck.
Wen Qikang and his wife were in charge of purchasing food and daily necessities for the family's journey.
The group left the inn and arrived at the intersection of several blocks.
Wen Qikang said to Wen Qilin, "Brother, let's go to the brokerage first, and then we'll go find you at the food street after we've taken care of things."
"Okay, be careful!"
Madam Wei also instructed the children: "Listen to your uncle, don't make a fuss, and don't overeat, understand?"
Several little heads nodded in unison, replying, "We know, we know."
Before leaving, Madam Wei gave Wenwen a meaningful look, her eyes clearly mocking her: "Take it easy while you're enjoying the good life."
With her back to everyone, Wenwen gave her third aunt an OK sign.
Watching his third uncle and the others turn and walk away towards the yamen.
Wenwen, holding Wenqing's hand in one hand and Ruirui's hand in the other, exclaimed happily, "Let's go shopping!"
The other boys, with their arms around each other's shoulders, followed behind, shouting together, "Let's go, let's go eat and drink our fill!"
Wen Qilin and Wen Chengjian and their brothers stood guard over the children.
A group of people walked into the food street.
The streets here are wide, and on both sides, various food stalls are lined up closely together. The stall owners hold spatulas and greet customers enthusiastically.
"Spicy grilled meat skewers, slurp and slurp~~ Skewers~~ Spicy grilled meat~~"
"Sweet and delicious~~ Crispy rice crust~~~ Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to try some? It's so sweet and delicious~~"
"Little one, here are some crispy sugar cakes, would you like some?"
"Sir/Madam, please try our food. If you don't like it, you don't have to pay! Come on~~"
The air along the entire street was filled with an enticing aroma, which grew stronger the further you went in. The various fragrances blended together, making your mouth water.
The children, in particular, were drooling with envy.
Wen Chengyu couldn't help but step forward and tug at Wenwen's sleeve, "Sister, let's buy one to try!"
Wenwen couldn't help but laugh.
She thought she could hear her younger siblings slurping their saliva.
I must say, the aroma really whetted my appetite.
Since that's the case, let's give it a try.
Seeing the crowd gathering around his stall, the shopkeeper greeted them with a beaming smile, "Sir, what would you like to order?"
Looking at the tempting food on the stall and smelling the sweet aroma, Wenwen boldly ordered, "Shopkeeper, give me one of this, one of this, and one of this..."
The little ones, upon hearing that she had ordered something delicious, eagerly awaited it.
The happiness in his eyes was directly proportional to the drool at the corner of his mouth.
"Please take this, sir."
The children, finally getting to taste the delicious food, exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, sister, this is delicious!"
"Mmm, it's so delicious!"
"Sister, eat this, it's delicious too."
Watching the children's exaggerated eating habits, Wenwen smiled like an aunt.
I got so many benefits from the little ones last night, so it's not unreasonable to grant them one of their dreams today.
The food street was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and incredibly lively.
The group strolled along, eating their way through the area, until they were completely stuffed.
Wenwen is also sensible; she only lets her younger siblings try a little of everything and never lets them overeat.
However, Wen Chengjian and his brothers were a bit too unrestrained.
When Wen Chengbin saw something delicious, he busied himself preparing a meal for everyone.
It's clear that once he had money in his pocket, he only knew how to spend it. Fortunately, he didn't eat alone; he paid for all the meals for his brothers.
Just as the group was about to leave the food street with the flow of people, they finally heard the sound of someone chasing after them from behind.
"Cheng Jian, Cheng Bin, you bunch of brats, wait for your third uncle."
"Oh, Uncle, you've finally arrived."
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, come, come, let's eat something to fill our stomachs first."
While eating, Wen Qikang said, "That house is at the very end of Willow Lane, the last one. Just tell me this address when you buy things. I've also found a doorman to receive the goods. We can go shopping after we finish eating."
A group of people finished their snacks and quickly left the neighborhood.
When they reached the intersection, Ye Jingchuan parted ways with the others. "Brother, I'll go check out the herbal medicine shop first, and then I'll come find you on Grain Street later."
"Okay, be careful and come back quickly after you're done buying."
The family watched as Ye Jingchuan disappeared into the crowd and walked towards another street.
Wenwen rubbed her hands together and said to Wen Qilin, "Daddy, let's go shopping."
The adults recognized the sound of the leaping bird.
Wei said, "Wen'er, let's go to the street where they sell cloth first."
"Alright, let's go!" He took the two little girls' hands and led them forward together.
......
After leaving the snack street, Ye Jingchuan went straight to a clinic.
He knew that Shi'an City was very close to the northwest border, so there were many Northern Qiang people trading here, and this clinic had good medicinal herbs that were local specialties.
Upon reaching the counter, Ye Jingchuan asked directly, "Shopkeeper, what good medicinal herbs do you have? Please show them to me."
The clinic owner looked at the newcomer, who was dressed in fine clothes and furs, and guessed that he was rich. The owner quickly calculated in his mind and tentatively took out a ginseng root that was several decades old.
Ye Jingchuan didn't haggle or even blink. He quickly took out several gold ingots and placed them on the table. "Shopkeeper, what other good medicinal herbs do you have? Bring them out."
The clinic owner's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Wait here," he said, turning and going into the inner room.
A moment later, the clinic owner brought out all his best-kept secrets, filling the entire counter. "Sir, all the best items are here. Please take your time to choose."
Ye Jingchuan didn't bother to pick and choose carefully. He pushed the gold ingots to the shopkeeper and casually mentioned the address, "Send them all to this place."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
The clinic owner chased after him out the door, calling out, "Hey, don't worry, sir, it'll be delivered right away, right away!"
The shopkeeper watched Ye Jingchuan's retreating figure, a sigh escaping his lips.
He bought up all the inventory he had stored for years; this customer was truly generous.
Ye Jingchuan wasn't the only one spending lavishly today; a group of people from the Wen family also did.
......
Wenwen and Wei arrived at the cloth street.
The dazzling array of beautiful clothes and soft, delicate fabrics is almost blinding.
Whether they are mature women or young girls, they can't resist beautiful clothes.
At that moment, the two little girls were whispering to each other in front of the beautiful dresses on the counter.
"Sister Qing, look at that dress, it's so pretty! You'll look like a little beauty in it."
"Yes, you're right, it really is beautiful. The outfit next to it makes Rui Rui look even more like a fairy."
"Hehe, that's right, hehe..."
The conversation between the two narcissistic and vain girls reached Wenwen and Wei's ears word for word.
Wenwen was secretly laughing: ......
He's so good at bragging.
A little beauty, a little fairy.
Who did he take after? Showing off like that in public.
Wei ignored the two young dreamers and said with a forced smile, "You two take your time."
After saying that, he turned to ask, "Shopkeeper, bring out the soft lining fabric, let me take a look first."
Lining fabric?
Wenwen found it a bit strange. Wouldn't it be better to buy ready-made clothes? Why buy fabric?
With these questions in mind, Wenwen approached the Wei family.
