Shengjing Noble

Chapter 526 Prepare for a rainy day

"Really? Please don't force it."

"No force, absolutely no force!"

"Oh, in that case, let's go shopping?"

"Let's go, right now. I really want to go shopping with you now!"

"That's great, let's go."

Su Lanyin happily took the lead and walked towards the market.

The first shop on the roadside after passing the archway was a shop selling cakes. Just as she was about to go in, Zhao Zide asked, "Miss, don't you want to buy some clothes?"

Su Lanyin pouted: "Why? Master Zhao doesn't want me to buy food?"

"No, no...you go around...you go around..."

He quickly shut up and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Su Lanyin curled her lips into a wicked smile and walked in.

The young man welcomed us warmly.

"What would you like to buy, gentlemen?"

Su Lanyin asked, "Is there anything crispy or crunchy? The drier the better. I like chewy ones."

"Yes, take a look at the snacks here, there are butterfly cakes, peach blossom crisps, osmanthus cakes..."

"Well, it looks good and smells good, but I don't know what it tastes like."

The boy said: "Isn't that easy? You can try it before you buy it."

Su Lanyin nodded: "What you said makes sense, but I just had a full meal and can't eat anything else."

"Then...why not let your companion taste it?"

"this is a good idea."

Su Lanyin nodded and agreed happily. Nanny Jin at the side swallowed her saliva and was about to step forward but was pushed away.

"Master Zhao, please help me taste it."

Su Lanyin looked at him with a smile, but Zhao Zide felt a chill on his back.

He had just run all the way without even a sip of water, so he was naturally very thirsty now.

But he didn't think much about it. It was just some snacks, not a big deal.

What's more, he hasn't eaten yet, so it's a good opportunity to replenish his energy.

Zhao Zide obediently walked over, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for two bites, he felt a little choked.

"water……"

Just as the waiter was about to take it, Su Lanyin stopped him: "You can't drink the water."

"Huh? Why..." Zhao Zide's cheeks were full and he looked confused.

Su Lanyin explained: "Once you drink water, the taste of the snacks will be diluted. Then who knows if they are delicious? You are not reluctant to buy them for me, so you want to drink water?"

"I..." Zhao Zide was furious, but he didn't dare to talk back.

"There are still a few left. Let's eat them together. It won't be too late to drink water after we finish eating."

"it is good……"

Zhao Zide had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat the rest of the snack. It took him a long time to finally swallow it.

Su Lanyin asked, "How does it taste?"

"It's... it's OK... water..."

"It's OK? Is it delicious or not?"

"It's delicious. I want to drink some water..."

"Oh, if it's delicious, then you can pack fifty boxes for me too!"

Su Lanyin didn't give Zhao Zide any chance to ask for water, she just stretched out her hand and gave him fifty boxes.

When the waiter heard that there was a large order, he immediately became ecstatic and urged others to pack the snacks. He didn't even bother to care about Zhao Zide drinking water.

After a while, the snacks were packed, and the waiter said with a smile: "Miss, the total is 326 taels, you just need to give 320 taels, my shopkeeper said that he will give you a small change."

Su Lanyin was immediately unhappy when she heard this: "No, you are looking down on me by asking for less money!"

"Ah?" The young man looked confused.

"How about this, I'll give you three hundred and fifty taels!"

"Really, really?"

"Of course, go find this gentleman and pay him."

"Oh, that's great, sir, how do you want to pay the bill?"

Zhao Zide's face turned pale. He looked at Su Lanyin and then at the waiter, feeling frustrated and wanting to curse.

But in the end, he took a deep breath and suppressed it.

He reluctantly took out the banknote and handed it over, saying, "Pour me a glass of water..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Lanyin urged loudly: "Now that you've collected the money, hurry up and load the truck for me. If you're slow, I won't sell it to you!"

When the waiter heard this, he immediately grabbed the banknote and ran to move the snacks, fearing that Su Lanyin would return the goods. He had no time to care about Zhao Zide's request for water.

While moving the snacks here, Su Lanyin ordered, "Madam Jin, please keep an eye on them and make sure they don't load less. If the carriage can't fit, go back and fetch another carriage."

"Yes!"

"Master Zhao, let's go and continue shopping!"

Zhao Zide swallowed his saliva and felt like his throat was on fire, but he didn't dare to resist. He lowered his head and followed Su Lanyin's footsteps and continued walking forward.

The second shop sold tobacco. He thought that Su Lanyin didn't smoke a pipe, so she would definitely not go in.

But she went in anyway, picked and chose, and forced him to take a few more puffs.

The smoke choked him so much that tears came out and his mouth felt dry.

The third one sold saddles... the fourth one sold furniture... and the fifth one actually sold coffins.

Watching Su Lanyin walk in, Zhao Zide understood that this woman was not picky about shops at all. No matter what was being sold, she would go in and take a look.

Isn't this obviously a trick to trick him?

"Wait a minute girl!"

He hurriedly stopped her and asked with anger: "Forget about the previous few houses, but this one is a coffin shop, do you want to go in and take a look too?"

Su Lanyin nodded as if it was a matter of course: "Yes."

"You're not going to buy a coffin, are you?"

"Of course. After all, Mr. Zhao will need this kind of thing sooner or later. I went in to take a look just for you."

Zhao Zide's face was uglier than the sole of a shoe. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you cursing me?"

Su Lanyin looked innocent: "How can you say that? I am preparing for a rainy day, how can you say I curse you? I care so much about you, but you are so ungrateful, it's really chilling."

"No, I'm alive and well. You're buying me a coffin. Isn't that a curse on me?"

"So what? Can't we just buy it in advance and keep it ready? Besides, who says we have to buy it right when we need it?"

"But this is too..."

"Too what? To put it bluntly, you just dislike me and don't want to accompany me shopping, right? Master Zhao, what did you tell me at the beginning? You would accompany me shopping without any impatience, but what about now? I've only visited a few stores and you're not happy?"

"You said I could buy whatever I wanted, but now that I've found what I want, you won't let me buy it. Isn't that a lie? Well, in that case, I won't go shopping anymore. I'm going back, I'm going back right now!"

Su Lanyin turned around in a rage and was about to leave. Zhao Zide was overwhelmed and hurried forward to stop her.

"I was wrong. You can buy whatever you want. I won't stand in your way anymore!"

"Really?"

“Really…”

Su Lanyin regained her smile and immediately turned around and walked towards the coffin shop. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly: "Hey, bring Master Zhao Zide a good coffin!"
