Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 108 What a coincidence (2)

“Chan shopkeeper, Chang shopkeeper——”

 A figure jumped in from the door. Shopkeeper Chang was talking to Zhao Bin. Hearing the voice, he couldn't help but frown.

"What are you doing? What should I do if I frighten the guests with my whistling noise?"

Although it was still early, guests were coming to eat one after another on the first floor. Shopkeeper Chang smiled awkwardly at Zhao Bin, then glared at the person who came in.

Zhao Bin put one hand on the counter and watched with interest the young man who ran in and was still panting. He looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a childish look on his face.

“Mr. Chang... Shopkeeper Chang, Xiao Zhu said that there is something called a tomato at the market. It can be eaten as a fruit or a vegetable. I want you to go there in person.”

Zhao Bin raised his eyebrows and joked: "Little pig? Tomatoes? What are these things? Does the little pig want to eat tomatoes?"

The boy touched his head in embarrassment and replied stupidly: "Sir, it's Xiao Zhu, not Xiao Zhu!"

Zhao Bin chuckled, "Aren't they all the same?"

 “It’s... all the same!” The boy blushed and smiled innocently.

When Zhao Bin saw him, he thought this guy was very interesting.

Shopkeeper Chang glared at the boy again, "The front desk...please help Brother Zhao keep an eye on it for a while!"

Zhao Bin nodded, "Go and come back quickly. We have something to do and need to go to Yuehe Village."

“Why are you going to Yuehe Village?” Shopkeeper Chang was puzzled.

Zhao Bin glanced upstairs and suddenly whispered something into Shopkeeper Chang's ear. Shopkeeper Chang's eyes widened and he looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhao Bin pursed his lips, blinked, and nodded to Shopkeeper Chang, "Go quickly, don't delay the young master's life-long event, otherwise you will suffer."

 “Okay, okay! I’ll go and be right back!”

Shopkeeper Chang nodded repeatedly, his smile widening wider and wider, and finally burst into laughter and walked out of Qingfeng Building with the confused boy.

As soon as Zhao Bin turned around, he saw a person standing at the top of the stairs. The person was staring at him with a half-smile.

 “Young, young master! Haha.”

Zhao Bin wanted to die. He had just paid attention to the stairs upstairs. There was no one there. Why did the young master suddenly appear at the stairs? Then what he just said about missing out on life-long events, didn't he hear it?

"Yes!" Lu Yuan responded lightly, ignoring the surprised looks from the guests dining downstairs, and walked downstairs calmly. When passing Zhao Bin, he paused and whispered: "Go. Find someone to watch, don't miss my lifelong event."

Zhao Bin couldn't help but feel ashamed, "Uh-huh, horse, horse, right now!"

By the way, shopkeeper Chang's face was full of surprise after seeing the baskets of tomatoes. He picked up one, caressed it fondly and asked: "Girl, where did you get this? Why have you never seen this before?" Have you seen it?"

Gu Panxia chuckled: "This is a kind of seed I bought accidentally. I took it home and tried to plant it. I didn't expect it to actually grow fruit. The person who bought the seeds before said that this seed can be eaten with eggs or cooked in soup." Eat it fried with eggs, or eat it as fruit. Uncle, you can try one, it tastes very sweet."

Shopkeeper Chang was not polite. He picked one up and wiped it on his clothes a few times before taking a big bite. Suddenly, a cool and slightly sweet juice flowed into his mouth. Shopkeeper Chang nodded repeatedly.
