Chapter 463 Sangjia Wazi

"Do you have to go to Wasi to buy cat food?" Li Yanqing asked with a puzzled smile.

"Of course I'm going to Wasi, or I'm going to Xiaozhang Cat Restaurant in the south of the city, which is too far away."

In Li Yanqing's memory, buying cat food usually means going to small farmers' markets. They buy dried fish one after another. There are actually cat food stores in the Song Dynasty?

The whole people of the Song Dynasty were businessmen, and the commodity economy was very developed. As long as there was a need, there was supply. Many wealthy families kept pet cats, which gave birth to a developed pet economy, including cat food, beauty, lice removal, hair removal, manicure, and various small shops for pets. However, the main pets in the Song Dynasty were cats, but dogs did not have such treatment. It was only Li Yanqing who did not notice it at all, so this was the first time he heard about it today.

Li Yanqing looked at the cat-loving little girl again, then asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

"My name is Cao Jiaojiao, where are you?" Cao Jiaojiao had a good impression of him when she saw Li Yanqing willing to accompany her to buy cat food.

"My name is Li Yanqing"

"I know yours!"

Cao Jiaojiao suddenly clapped her hands and smiled, "You wrote two couplets for my sister, right?"

"I understand, your sister is Xiao Shuniang, she calls me."

Li Yanqing forgot his name a little, and Cao Jiao smiled and said, "She is Cao Yun, and I call her Dashu Niang. I die when I see the book."

"Yes! Her name is Cao Yun, I almost forgot."

Li Yanqing said a little embarrassedly: "Do your sister like the couplets I wrote?"

"Of course she likes it very much. She is still waiting for you to write a long couplet for her! She said that the words you wrote are very good. Brother Li, why don't you write a couplet for me too!"

"What do you want to do with couplets?"

"I'll post it on the cathouse! Wait for the Chinese New Year."

Li Yanqing couldn't help but laugh and posted the couplet written by the censor on the cathouse. I'm afraid that only this little girl would want it.

His promise also became vague, "Okay! Wait for the New Year."

Cao Jiaojiao was so happy that she clapped her face, "I also have couplets in my cathouse, which makes the big book lady angry to death."

Seeing that she was innocent and liked her very much, Li Yanqing smiled and asked her, "How old is Jiaojiao today?"

"I'm almost seven years old. Do you have to ask me if I have any school? Tell you, I'm already in school."

"How do you know if I want to ask you if you have any studies?"

"Adults ask this, how old are you? Have you ever been to school? Are you listening at home? Are you naughty?"

Cao Jiaojiao pointed to her ear, "Look at this place, it's all calluses!"

Li Yanqing burst into laughter when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't ask you."

Gao Mansion is very close to the Sang family's Wazi, only two miles away. Soon the ox cart stopped in front of the Wasi gate, "Officiale Li, you have arrived!" The coachman said outside.

Li Yanqing pushed open the car door, and Cao Jiaojiao jumped down impatiently. Seeing that she was about to run, Li Yanqing hurriedly grabbed her, "Wait a minute, don't run!"

"Officiale Li, I'll park the car opposite, just come back and find me." The coachman pointed to the alley opposite, where several ox carts were parked.

"I got it, we'll be back soon."

"Brother Li, let's hurry up!" Cao Jiaojiao took Li Yanqing's hand and ran into the Sang family's tile gate.

Today is the weekend, which is equivalent to the weekend. The Wasi is crowded and very lively. It sells all kinds of gadgets and various food stalls one by one. The guys shouted loudly one after another. Li Yanqing grabbed Cao Jiaojiao and asked, "Do you know where the cat food restaurant is?"

Cao Jiaojiao looked confused, "I don't know! Brother Li doesn't know?"

The two of them suddenly stared at each other, and they didn't know where the cat food restaurant was?

At this time, Li Yanqing saw a young man carrying a food box to deliver food, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked him, "This guy, where is the cat food store?"

The delivery guy turned around and pointed at the front and said, "You keep walking, turn left at the second intersection, and just walk to the end, there are two companies!"

"Thank you!"

Li Yanqing then grabbed Cao Jiaojiao and walked forward, "Cannot haws! White jade candied haws!" A hawker selling candied haws came towards him.

"Brother Li, I want to eat candied haws!" Cao Jiaojiao suddenly couldn't walk anymore.

Only then did Li Yanqing remember that he was holding a young lady who was less than seven years old. In fact, he was less than six years old, which was equivalent to a kindergarten class. He quickly touched his wallet. Fortunately, he had a lot of bags, and Li Yanqing was very excited, "Brother Li bought it for you, I will buy it for you whatever you like."

Soon Li Yanqing learned why Cao Xing refused to bring Cao Jiaojiao to buy cat food. The various snacks in the wasi were too rich, and the young lady looked straight and begged Li Yanqing to buy her some snacks. Soon, Li Yanqing had to hire two people to help him get things.

The young lady was greedy and had strict family control. She had to buy all the things she couldn't see or eat, such as stir-fried ginkgo, chestnut, Hebei goose pear, pear strips, dried pears, gum dates, jujube circles, seared Jiaqingzi, Lin Qinxuanwu plum, fried Xijing snow pear, Xichuan lactose, lion sugar, frosted bee, etc.

"Sugar cake, meat pie, victory cake!"

"Soft mooncakes! Pig pancakes, delicious Hu cakes!"

A big man selling cakes carrying a load shouted on the side of the road, "My lady, sell a piece of pig panic cake! It's still hot!"

As soon as Cao Jiaojiao finished gnawing a bunch of candied haws, she pulled Li Yanqing's hand, "Brother Li, I want to eat pig panic panic cake!"

Pig pancakes are actually pizza from later generations. The thin scones are covered with various fillings, which are very delicious.

"Okay! Go and pick one."

"My lady, buy a few other cakes! You must have never eaten them."

Dalang, a pancake seller, was very good at doing business. When he saw Li Yanqing being generous, he didn't ask about the price. There was a porter carrying various gadgets and food behind him. He knew that he had met Haoke today.

The biscuits quickly took out all kinds of sesame cakes from the pick, such as thousand-layer cakes, moon cakes, scorched golden flower cakes, milk cakes, vegetable cakes, Hu cakes, peony cakes, hibiscus cakes, cooked meat cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, plum blossom cakes, and sugar cakes. Cao Jiaojiao was dazzled by the eyes. She couldn't help but smile and said, "So many! Then I buy three of them each, one of them, one of them, one of them Dashu Niang, and one of them Yun Yatou."

Li Yanqing looked back at the load of the two porters. Fortunately, he could barely put it down, so he said to the Bing Dalang: "Pack three servings for her every time!"

"Don't worry, I have a cake bag, which is clean and convenient, and it's still hot when I go back."

When Li Yanqing saw that the cake was quickly sorting and putting various cakes into bags, he suddenly understood a thousand-year-old case. Why can Wu Dalang afford to buy a house and raise a wife by selling cakes is not without reason. Wu Dalang is not just selling a kind of cake!

"Are you busy with so many varieties?" Li Yanqing asked in confusion.

"I'm sure that the meat stuffing is a fine filling that I bought for the pork chops. The other cake stuffing can only be bought ready-made ones outside. Some specialize in cake stuffing, but they are all real and good ingredients. Officials can rest assured."

Li Yanqing nodded. These cakes looked pretty good and were cleaned up.

After buying the cake, Cao Jiaojiao was finally a little satisfied. She realized that she had bought two large tracts of food. She couldn't help but scratch the back of her head and looked at Li Yanqing a little embarrassedly, "Brother Li, I seem to have bought too many!"

"It's okay, Brother Li is rich, just like you!"

"It's not this, I mean how can I take it back? It's a tragic thing if my mother sees it!"

Li Yanqing almost spit out blood. It turned out that he was self-indulgent, and the little lady didn't care about money at all.

He thought for a while and laughed: "Let's do this! When we buy cat food, we need a few more big boxes for cat food. Your mother thinks it's cat food!"

"This method is good!" Cao Jiaojiao jumped up with joy.

"I can eat cake with the little cat."

In this blink of an eye, my sister was forgotten.

From Wasi gate to the restaurant selling cat food, at most 150 steps, but after they walked for half an hour, the two porters were sweating profusely. Li Yanqing added fifty cents to each of them to calm their emotions.

There are two cat food stores, and the storefronts are not big. One is called "General Cat" and the other is called Xiao Zhang Cat Food Store. Li Yanqing likes the name "General Cat" and then takes Cao Jiaojiao to push the door and walk in.

There are a wide range of products in the store, including cat toys, bags for cats, cat nests, cat tangles, cat litter, etc. There are more than a dozen types of cat food, carefully cooked with fish or minced meat.

At this time, Cao Jiaojiao pulled Li Yanqing aside and whispered: "I want to buy everything in it, but I only have one tael of silver."

"Or what if I lend it to you?" Li Yanqing teased her with a smile.

"But I can't afford it either!" The young lady looked at Li Yanqing with anticipation.

Li Yanqing pulled her braid and smiled, "Brother Li teases you and get whatever you want. I'll buy it for you!"

Cao Jiaojiao cheered and immediately started her big purchase. She had to buy ten pieces of everything. Because she had raised ten kittens. When the shopkeeper saw that the big customer came, she simply closed the store and focused on their business. After another half an hour, the shopping service was finally over. Five large boxes were filled. Li Yanqing bought a few large wooden boxes and also packed the food she bought. The words "cat food" were posted outside, so that he could hide the truth and transport it back to Cao's mansion.

"Officials, a total of forty-nine taels of silver!"

Li Yanqing gave the shop owner fifty taels of silver and smiled at him, "Please ask the shop owner to send it back to Cao's mansion with a car!"

"Is it General Cao's mansion?"

"That's right! Just send it to the side door and hand it over to their housekeeper."

"The villain understands that villain usually delivers goods to the door, and the reputation is guaranteed!"

Li Yanqing wrote Cao Jiaojiao's name on the big box with a pen so that the butler of Cao's mansion would not make any mistakes.

Li Yanqing kept sending Cao Jiaojiao back to Cao's mansion.

"This is for you!"

Li Yanqing squatted down in front of the steps, smiled and stuffed a little silver ingot to Cao Jiaojiao, "Buy candy in the future!"

Cao Jiaojiao was very moved. She pulled Li Yanqing's neck down and whispered in his ear: "Brother Li, let me tell my sister, just be my brother-in-law!"

Li Yanqing laughed and patted her cute little red face, "Go back! When the cat food is finished, Brother Li will buy it for you."
