Chapter 205
On the wooden tray were broken silver, gold leaves, silver bills, a stack of clothes, and some odds and ends.

"I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare this for you. The outside is no different than inside the palace. You must bring everything with you when you go out." Mu Qingyuan smiled while watching Han Yaoqin check the things on the plate.

"I knew the emperor's elder brother was the best to me!" Han Yaoqin was so happy that she wanted to hug a plate of food into her arms.

"I will send a few guards to protect you personally, so you can have fun in the capital."

"You guys? Did Brother Emperor agree to go with Sister Jiang?"

"Yes, it would be more appropriate to let Jiang Meiren accompany you, otherwise I'm afraid you will disappear as soon as you leave the palace."

Han Yaoqin happily said: "The bodyguards who protect me should also be removed, otherwise how can I have fun if I keep being stared at?"

"No!" At this point, Mu Qingyuan sternly refused.

Jiang Yu thought for a while, and suggested: "Otherwise, let Fugui from the concubine's palace follow closely, his skills are not bad. Besides, if the emperor doesn't mind, let Yang Guiren come with him."

Mu Qingyuan pondered for a while, and agreed.

"Let the guards secretly protect you. If you don't listen to Jiang Meiren, there will be no next time."

"Got it, got it." Han Yaoqin hurriedly agreed.

The bun shop at the east gate of the imperial city has been passed down to the third generation of Liu Er. He sets up a stall at the east gate of the outer city every morning, rain or shine.

It is said that it is a bun shop, it is a board, a large wooden box for heat preservation, and the steamer is usually placed in the wooden box.If it rains, put an oilcloth on top.

Most of the people who come and go to his shop are country folks who go to the market, and the nearby residents are poor and clinking.

Those who have a little money will sit down at the wonton shop next to them and slowly eat a bowl of wontons.

Those who have money in their pockets will probably sit down in restaurants large and small in the city, order some of soy milk and fried dough sticks, porridge and side dishes, and taste them carefully.

Wearing normal clothes like today, but not looking like an ordinary person, came to buy steamed buns. Liu Er followed his father to sell steamed stuffed buns since he was a child, and sold them for more than [-] yuan. This was the first time he saw him.

Standing in front of Liu Er was a pair of sisters, plus one male and one female servants.

The elder sister's appearance is extremely beautiful, Liu Er has never seen such a beauty in his life, she is wearing a light beige dress, and a silver hairpin is stuck in her hair.The younger sister's face still has a little childishness, but she is also a beauty. She wears a string of delicate silver bracelets on her left wrist. When the silver bracelets touch each other when she moves, they make a crisp sound.

The pair of servants are also well-proportioned, and the maid is even more beautiful and heroic, not like a girl that ordinary people can afford.

I saw my younger sister standing still, pointing to the steaming steamer: "I want to eat this, big meat buns!"

"Yaoqin, haven't you eaten two cakes?"

"I'm hungry again." Said, the younger sister looked at her elder sister with a pair of big eyes eagerly.

"When you came out, didn't you say that you wanted to go to the famous 'Qiqizhai' in the city to have breakfast? Now eat a bun, and you can still eat it later?"

"It's okay, sister. Let's go shopping in a while. If you are hungry, go to 'Qiqizhai' later." The younger sister said happily.

The elder sister shook her head helplessly, and asked Liu Er: "Boss, how much is a meat bun?"

Liu Er was taken aback by his sister's sudden question: "What money?"

The elder sister smiled, pointed to the buns in the steamer and asked, "Is this stuffed with meat? How much is it? I'll buy one."

As if she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and asked the two servants, "Do you want it?"

The two servants immediately shook their hands to express that they didn't want it.

Seeing that Liu Er was silent, the elder sister smiled, took out a pouch from her bosom, took out a small piece of silver from it, and handed it to Liu Er: "Buy a meat bun."

Seeing her sister's crystal clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Liu Er couldn't help but took the broken silver.

But when he saw the broken silver in his hand, he immediately became frowning: "Girl, do you have any copper coins? The shop is small, so I can't find it."

"Then you don't need to look for it." My sister smiled happily.

"Then how can I do it!" For some reason, Liu Er, who has always been greedy for petty gain, suddenly became righteous, "This shop is innocent, and there will be a guest officer for a copper coin."

He opened a simple steamed stuffed bun shop, and he talked about "our shop" very smoothly.

The elder sister looked inside the purse, frowned and said, "I don't have any copper coins here either."

"Then give it to the girl to eat. If you think it's delicious, please visit us more in the future." Liu Er said courteously.

The owner of the wonton shop next door heard Liu Er's words, and looked at it in surprise. It is strange that Liu Er would give away steamed buns for nothing today.

"Then thank you, uncle!" My sister smiled and took back the broken silver.

"Thank you, uncle!" My younger sister grabbed the bun with a handkerchief and took a bite, "Uncle's bun is really delicious."

Liu Er's lips twitched.

Uncle... also, at my early thirties, I should be called uncle.

"Uncle, does your shop have a name? We will come again next time."

"The small shop is called Liu Er Baozi Shop."

"Liu Er Bun Shop? Why is there no signboard?"

"Where can a small shop afford someone to write a signboard, just open it as soon as possible, and the neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood will know it."

"The smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley!" The elder sister frowned slightly, "Well, next time we come, I will bring you a signboard, but it only has words. You can ask a craftsman to engrave it."

"Then thank you girl first." Liu Er said with a smile.

But he didn't really believe it in his heart.

These few people are unfamiliar, most of them are visiting relatives or sightseeing in Beijing, so there will be no next time.

It wasn't until a long time later that he got the big characters of "Liu Er Baozi Shop" inscribed by the imperial pen, that he realized how much fate he had formed at that time.

Since then, Liu Er Baozi Shop has grown bigger and bigger, and has been opened to the busiest area in the city. It has been opened into a big restaurant, but the name is still Liu Er Baozi Shop.

Jiang Yu walked forward with Han Yaoqin who was eating buns, and said with a smile, "Yaoqin, can you still eat it later?"

"Why can't you eat it?" Han Yaoqin wiped the corners of her mouth and fingers with a handkerchief after eating the buns.

"I'm not like the women in your palace. I eat a little bit of whatever I eat, similar to cat food!"

Jiang Yu and Yang Ruojia smiled at each other.

What Jiang Yu thought of was Mu Qingyuan.

If it is said to eat cat food, the current emperor Mu Qingyuan is probably the one who takes the lead.

"Yaoqin... oh no, it should be the second lady. You probably don't know that the wind chimes in your sister's palace make dishes that are the best in the palace. How can your sister eat cat food?" Yang Ruo Jia laughed.
