Chapter 86 The Ruined Pet Shop
"Then what's the matter with the jade honey I'm eating now? Could it be because of the variety change?"

"This is the most inferior jade honey. It tastes only slightly sweet and lacks fragrance. It's because of insufficient sunlight and fertilization during planting. Why does my sister have a soft spot for it?" Yan Wenmao asked strangely.

"I don't want to eat that kind of sweet jade honey." Luo Chuchu curled her lips, "I will replace all the food in the palace with this kind of low-grade jade honey. Whoever likes it can eat it."

Yan Wenmao pondered for a while, then said: "Okay."

Now that the species has been identified, the one in his hand is useless.

Just as he was about to throw it away, Luo Chuchu noticed his movement, and hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, what are you doing? How are you wasting food?"

Yan Wenmao was even more puzzled.When he was in the palace, Luo Chuchu would never eat anything that didn't suit his taste, but when he was out of the palace, he even cherished a worthless fruit so much?

As if seeing his inner thoughts, Luo Chuchu said unhappily: "That's different! Everything in the palace is planted or delivered by people who are not bad at money. It doesn't matter if I like it or not. But this This fruit was planted by that uncle with so much hard work, maybe he has suffered so much in the wind and sun, how can he waste it casually? If he sees a kind heart and gives us more, and we still don’t cherish it like this, it will be very sad.”

Yan Wenmao didn't quite understand her thoughts, and he never cared about other people's emotions. He didn't understand why Luo Chuchu cared about the feelings of a person he had only met once, not to mention that he had traveled so far, and the peddler couldn't see him at all.

But when Luo Chuchu stopped him, he stopped and glanced at the fruit he was holding.Because of the heat of body temperature, the rock sugar on the outer layer of the fruit has already melted somewhat.

Luo Chuchu followed his line of sight to see the fruit, took a step forward, grabbed Yan Wenmao's wrist, stood on tiptoe, and swallowed it in one bite.

The fruit was picked up by her teeth, and the soft and slippery tip of her tongue licked off the remaining rock sugar on her fingers.

Yan Wenmao's heart beat wildly because of her action, and he didn't want to look away for a moment.

It wasn't until Luo Chuchu let go of his hand with a natural expression, and continued to eat rock sugar and jade honey, that Yan Wenmao's wrist moved, hung down and hid it in his sleeve, and twisted it lightly.

Luo Chuchu "rescued" the fruit that Yan Wenmao was going to throw away, and ate another half bag, then turned around and said, "Brother, why don't you talk?"

Yan Wenmao coughed lightly, and said, "Yumi...I want to try it too."

"Oh, okay, here you are." Luo Chuchu just had enough food, licked his lips, and stuffed the paper bag to him.

Yan Wenmao picked up a small fruit with a clean stick and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.

This fruit can only be said to be slightly sweet, not comparable to the jade honey in the palace, and the skin is a bit thick.But it has a refreshing flavor when eaten with a sweet rock sugar shell.

Besides, she loves to eat.

As the two walked and strolled, Luo Chuchu would often be interested in the trinkets made by women at the roadside stalls.In her opinion, everything has a simple and elegant feeling, and she is used to the exquisite ones, and her eyes light up when she sees them.

Yan Wenmao naturally bought all the things she was interested in, a little too much in the middle, another person came out from nowhere and followed them as a servant, so all the things were handed over to him.

There are fewer and fewer lanterns hanging on the shops on both sides of the night market. It seems that this road is coming to an end.

Luo Chuchu was about to continue shopping in another direction, but one second before leaving, she heard a dog barking, and her movements stopped immediately.

"There seems to be a puppy?"

Yan Wenmao looked at the shop not far away, and said, "Amei, it's better not to go there."

In such a remote place, there will definitely not be any neat animals, and they should all be animal cubs caught from nowhere.If one of them hurts Luo Chuchu, or if there is any disease on his body, then he will be in big trouble.

Luo Chuchu looked at the shop eagerly, feeling like she would cry on the spot if she didn't go in and have a look.

Yan Wenmao sighed, and said: "Follow me, just go in and watch for a quarter of an hour."

"Okay! I'll just take a look, I won't buy it." Luo Chuchu jumped excitedly on the spot.

I wonder if there will be any unique cute animals in this world?
The two walked back and forth into the shop without a signboard. The light inside the shop was not very good, and they could only see a few large iron cages on the ground, which contained animals.

Originally, there was a puppy crying in the cage, but after the two entered the door, they disturbed the animals in the cage. Some animals lowered their voices and let out an angry roar, and the puppy's whining turned into a slight whimper.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chuchu frowned, the scene inside was worse than she imagined, even worse than those unscrupulous pet dealers on the earth.At least each of those people would be given a cage instead of being crowded together like they are now. Wouldn't this definitely cause them to fight?
"Where's the shopkeeper?"

The crisp voice echoed in the shop, the back door of the shop was ajar, and the shopkeeper heard the movement and pushed the door open after a while.

After looking at the clothes of the two of them, the shopkeeper put a smile on his face and asked, "You two, what do you need?"

Yan Wenmao stopped Luo Chuchu, who was about to speak, and said, "Can you make the light brighter? We can't see clearly."

The shopkeeper immediately took three candles and lit them, put them in a tray, and held them up to the two of them.

The light of the candles illuminated the scene in front of them. The iron cages were roughly divided into two types: cats and dogs, each of which was placed in a cage.There were other birds beside them, but more than half of them had already collapsed in the cage, their feathers were scattered, and it was unknown whether they died of fright or fighting.

Luo Chuchu saw that the fur of the cats and dogs in the cage was not very good, and they were obviously dirty and thin. It was obvious that they had not been properly fed.

She never saw this kind of scene, tugging at Yan Wenmao's sleeve.

Yan Wenmao took her hand back and said: "I want all these, and I want the store, how much money?"

The shopkeeper's eyes burst out with greedy light, and he opened his mouth wide like a lion.But he stopped suddenly, and his fiery gaze was slightly restrained.

Can take out a lot of money at one time, and dare to say that buying a store in the capital must not be an ordinary wealthy family.

If such a family knows that they have cheated on their heirs, the consequences will be...

The shopkeeper cautiously reported a number: "800 taels of silver."

At this time, there is no such thing as different prices for shops and houses. This shop is located in the central district, and the nearby houses can sell for four to five hundred taels of silver. He obviously asked for too much.

Yan Wenmao said: "500 taels."

Luo Chuchu scratched his head in surprise, thinking that he wouldn't spend money to buy it, but just told the shopkeeper to leave, and if he didn't leave, the soldiers would arrest him and put him in prison.

The shopkeeper struggled for a while, but Yan Wenmao insisted on paying only 500 taels.

The shopkeeper thinks about his dilapidated ancestral business and poorly run shop. Someone was only willing to pay 250 taels before, but he was finally driven away...

"Okay, 500 taels is 500 taels."
