The nanny's car was parked at the intersection of a new year's shopping street, and Xie Yaoxi was persuaded to leave by the simple environment of the stall before getting out of the car.

"Didn't you say special products? What are you doing here?"

"I only come here to buy specialty products!" Xiao Ai vowed, "I've done my homework. There are the most specialty shops here, and there are a few authentic old shops! Many local people come here to buy things!"

Xie Yaoxi reluctantly accepted Xiaoai's statement. Although there were not many people on weekdays, she still wore a mask and sunglasses to cover herself tightly.

The advantage of a street stall is that you can taste it first before buying it. It is not accurate to say that it is a street stall. Most of the shops set up a stall in front of their store to attract customers.

"Come, come and drink delicious flower tea!"

“Freshly baked egg yolk crisps!”

"Take a look at the authentic mountain goods!"

Trumpets soliciting business kept coming, Xie Yaoxi walked through each stall absently, but didn't see anything he wanted to taste.

"Sister Yaoxi, sister Yaoxi, what do you think of this specialty gift box! There are several kinds in it, and you can do it in one step!" Xiao Ai saw the specialty gift box displayed in the window of a shop at a glance. As far as the box is concerned, it is very high-end.

The two went in.

"Look at whatever you want! I have all kinds of mountain and sea goods from all over the world!"

Xiao Ai was asking the clerk about the contents of the gift box, and Xie Yaoxi was attracted by something.

It was packed in a simple box and covered with a transparent plastic bag. The things inside were dark brown and shriveled, and whisker-like things could still be seen.

Xie Yaoxi ate it once at Grandma Yu's house before. Although it was not very attractive, it tasted crunchy and mainly salty.

She couldn't remember her name for a while.

"What is this?" she asked the boss next to her.

"Preserved radish is dried radish." The boss said while pulling a bag, "18 a catty, how much do you want?"

"How do you eat this?"

"You can eat it directly, or scrambled eggs." The boss paused, and then said, "If you're not afraid of saltiness, I can make some for you to try."

As he spoke, the boss pulled open the transparent plastic bag, took out a shriveled radish and squeezed it in his hands, "This is the authentic taste. Many repeat customers come to buy it, and the dried radish tastes very good."

Xie Yaoxi took a closer look and smelled it. It was a kind of fragrance that she couldn't describe. The boss cut a small piece for her and ate a piece herself. The sound was crisp when she put it in her mouth.

"..." At the moment of entrance, Xie Yaoxi couldn't help frowning, "It's so salty..."

The boss laughed twice: "This batch of goods is relatively old and will be a little salty. It will be very delicious when you buy it back with porridge."

In the end, Xie Yaoxi just waved his hand and didn't buy it. The taste was far from what she remembered, and she lost interest all of a sudden.

Coming out of the specialty shop, Xiao Ai brought several gift boxes, and the two were about to walk into the street when Xie Yaoxi received a call from her mother.

Xie Yaoxi glanced, "I'm going to answer the phone." After speaking, she walked to a corner where there was no one around.

After what happened to Yu Jing last time, her mother also called her several times, and she acted the same as usual. Fortunately, Yu Jing's name was never mentioned again.

The matter of Chen Kang's arrest was aroused before, and Mrs. Xie didn't dare to mention it to her. The matter of introducing the partner seemed to be shelved. Xie Yaoxi had already figured out that if her mother wanted to force her to go on a blind date, she would use Chen Kang to slap her in the face.

"Qin Chuan said that you're done today." Mrs. Xie on the other end cut to the chase and said straight to the point: "You haven't seen your grandparents for a long time, and the old couple are going home for a few days, you go to the nursing home to bring them back .”

"Why do you want me to go." Xie Yaoxi was a little puzzled, and it would be fine to just send a car to pick up the old couple, and even let him go there specially, is there a conspiracy in this?

"You have the nerve to say that you don't stay at home all day, and you don't usually care about how your grandparents are living in the nursing home. Look at those cousins. Yan Jing knows to call to care when they are not in Jingjing."

"I also care about it. Every time I go on a business trip, I buy gifts for my grandparents!" Xie Yaoxi said confidently, "It's just that I haven't been to a nursing home."

"In short, I leave this matter to you." Mrs. Xie paused, and then said: "Your father bought you a gift, and you can only get the gift if you behave well during the Chinese New Year."

Xie Yaoxi smacked his lips and made a silent grimace. Xie Yaoxi knew what the gift from his father was without guessing, and he was no longer looking forward to it.

Since she was a child, what she received was either gems or emeralds, or all kinds of luxury goods, all of which were more for viewing than practical use. At first, they still felt novelty, but after a long time, they became dull.

After that, Xie Yaoxi bought the special products as gifts and planned to go back to the hotel to pack her luggage.

Passing by an electrical appliance store, Xie Yaoxi caught the attention of the electric fan heater at the door, and suddenly thought of the little sun that Yu Jing had bought for her before.

The real thing has two small ears as described by Yu Jing, small and light, very practical on the set, and Xie Yaoxi hung a pair of red Christmas socks as decorations on the ears, which is quite cute.

Last time I also gave her a scarf.

"Sister Yaoxi?" Seeing Xie Yaoxi standing in the electrical appliance store staring at Little Sun, Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to buy appliances?"

Xie Yaoxi came back to his senses, then shook his head, and the two continued to walk towards the end of the street.

They were supposed to go back to the intersection, but the driver said that they could not park for a long time at the intersection, so they drove to the end of the street, and they had to walk to the end of the street to take a car.

The more you go inside, the fewer people there are, and the types of shops gradually transition to clothing and daily necessities.

Xie Yaoxi vaguely smelled a fragrance, similar to the smell of sandalwood. She followed the smell and looked around, and saw a shop called "Yuanxiangdao" nearby, which was decorated in an antique style.

She turned around and walked towards the store. The closer she got to the shop, the more obvious the sandalwood scent was. It was somewhat different from what she smelled at Yu Jing's house, and she couldn't tell the difference.

"Welcome!" The boss, who was yawning at leisure, greeted a customer very warmly: "What do you two want to buy?"

"just looking around."

The store is not big, but the decoration is very stylish, and with the smell of sandalwood, it looks like an expensive store.

It was also the first time for Xiao Ai to visit this kind of store, so she wandered around the store curiously.

The boss saw the "nobility" on Xie Yaoxi at a glance, and walked up to her as an explanation.

"Do you want to buy incense, or do you want to buy supplies, or do you want to understand the way of incense?"

"Half buying and half understanding." Xie Yaoxi walked in front of the display shelf, "What's the smell in your store?"

"What is burned is thuja, which has the functions of sterilizing, calming the nerves, and purifying the air."

Xie Yaoxi didn't know what thuja was, she nodded agreeingly on the surface, she stopped in the incense powder area, and randomly picked up a bottle of incense powder about three fingers in size, with "Aged Wormwood Fragrance" written on it.

"Is wormwood a wormwood for repelling mosquitoes?"

"Yes, Aixiang has the effect of Qufeng dispelling cold and mosquitoes."

"What is the best-selling incense?"

"It must be sandalwood and agarwood." The boss quickly picked up two bottles of corresponding incense, "Our incense is all pure natural wood, without adding any other ingredients. If you think the powder is troublesome, you can choose stick incense."

"Now there is a discount, which is relatively cheap. A bottle is 180 yuan, and each bottle has 50 grams. If you buy five bottles, I will give you one bottle."

"How is this used?"

"It's usually used to make incense seals." The boss took a look at Xie Yaoxi, "Little girl, you should be a novice who hasn't started yet."

It is naturally impossible for Xie Yaoxi to say that she is Xiaobai, what if the boss cheats on her?Fortunately, I have seen Yu Jing's technique before, it seems to be called... playing Xiangzhuan.

"I understand a little bit." The face under the mask smirked, "It's just using a mold to press out the model, right?"

"Yep."

Xie Yaoxi looked at the incense powder and weighed it, but did not choose to buy it. She felt that the price was slightly higher than her expectations. Although she knew nothing about incense, she always felt that Yu Jing's incense was more mellow, and it didn't smell like more than 100 yuan. .

She put the incense powder back in place, and turned to see the incense burner display case behind her.

Among them was a small incense burner in the shape of a pine cone, which I had imagined from what I saw at Yu Jing's house, so I picked it up.

The first feeling is very light, like thin iron, with no texture at all.

"How much is this?" she asked.

"Twenty dollars."

Xie Yaoxi shook his head, put the incense burner back, and planned to leave.

Naturally, the boss couldn't miss the opportunity to make money, so he chased after him and asked, "Hey, little girl, tell me what you want! Do you want to use it yourself or give it away?"

She hesitated for a moment, then replied: "...Give it away."

"That's right! You have to tell me your needs, so I can recommend suitable ones for you." The boss said with a smile, "The things you saw just now are very ordinary, suitable for you to play at home, but you want You must buy a better one as a gift, and I happen to have a treasure here, and I will show it to you."

Xie Yaoxi waited for a while, and the boss took out a brocade box from the inside like a treasure.

"It means that I am destined to be with you. I am willing to sell it to you. If it is changed, others will not want to see this treasure." The boss first laid the groundwork and then slaughtered Xiao Mianyang... Only then can the transaction go smoothly.

Seeing that there was a baby, Xiao Ai also came over.

The boss sold enough of his words and said enough good things, and then he slowly opened the brocade box and took out the incense burner inside.

It is a hanging incense burner. A welcoming pine stands on a rectangular wooden base, and the curved arc of the green-dyed branches is just enough to hang the burner.

The stove is in the shape of a lotus flower, and the whole is bronze in color.

"It's so beautiful." Xiao Ai couldn't help but complimented a censer with a fancy shape before.

"The base and the welcoming pine are carved from a single piece of wood, and the stove is also made of pure copper. It has a very nice name called "Songhe Yannian"."

"Let me tell you, this is Master Hu You's classic work, you can't buy it outside if you want to buy it!" The philistine smile on the boss's face deepened, "Whether it's for decoration or incense seal, it's fine. , It’s a face-saving gift to others! Many people want to buy it from me when they see it, but I didn’t sell it! Is this incense, it’s all about fate.”

"You walked into my store today, it means that we are very destined, and I am willing to bear the pain to part with each other!"

Xie Yaoxi picked up the whole Songhe Yannian and looked at it carefully. The hand feel is naturally better than that of 98. It is heavy and has a lot of weight, especially the incense burner can feel very thick, which is very special in terms of shape.

"how much is it?"

"I originally wanted to give this work of art to my father-in-law, but my wife divorced me before I gave it away, otherwise I would not be willing to sell it." Speaking of this, the boss gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh, and said bitterly: "I don't want too much! The price is 5000 yuan!"

"Wow!" Xiao Ai opened her eyes wide, "How can it be so expensive!"

"Oh, little girl, look clearly. This is made of pure copper. You can weigh it yourself. The cost is here, and there is nothing to choose from the craftsmanship! You can't buy such exquisite craftsmanship outside! Miss it when you go home and shoot it straight away. thigh!"

The boss knows that if he wants to sell something, he must first serve the buyer well and focus on his heart. He turned to Xie Yaoxi and said: "Little girl, you want to buy it as a gift. This is just right. You said you bought dozens of You can’t give away hundreds of dollars, can you?”

"And this pine lotus prolonging the year has a good meaning, which is enough to represent your sincerity, and the recipient must be so happy from ear to ear!"

5000 yuan is naturally not much to Xie Yaoxi, but she looked at the shrewd look on the boss's face, and knew that he must have mixed some water, so she still had to talk about the price.

She didn't show much interest and said, "Let's make it cheaper."

"Oh, I see that you and I are destined, how about this, I will charge you an auspicious number, 4888!"

"4 is not good, it is unlucky." Xie Yaoxi took out the dragon-slaying machete: "Pay immediately for one thousand and eight."

The boss immediately looked constipated, then slapped his thigh, beat his chest and said: "I see that you also sincerely want to buy... well, I'll sell you!"

"...???"

Obviously cut more than 3000, but Xie Yaoxi inexplicably felt a blood loss.
