“Of course! Ruyang City is the largest commercial city in our country, even more prosperous than the capital! And right now, we’re in the center of Ruyang City, which is the most bustling of the bustling!” Yu Rao introduced proudly, her eyes sparkling as if the entire street belonged to her.
I looked at her amusedly, “You little girl, you’re happy now. Just moments ago, you were reluctant to come out!”
The young girl pouted aggrievedly, “Yu Rao was worried about the young lady’s leg injury!”
I suppressed my smile and asked seriously, “Alright, enough teasing. Tell me, what makes the most money in your Ru City?”
The young girl thought for a moment, “Nothing more than brothels, gambling houses, restaurants, and banks!”
Just as I thought. I looked up at the sun, estimating the time, “It’s about time for lunch. Let’s find a good restaurant and eat first.”
“At the mention of food, the young girl immediately nodded her head vigorously.
I looked at her suspiciously, “Yu Rao, are you that hungry?”
“Hehe…” Yu Rao laughed awkwardly, “I’ve long heard that there’s a signature dish called ‘Phoenix Tail and Chicken Wings’ at the Jade Phoenix Restaurant not far ahead. I’ve always wanted to try it but never had the chance. Let’s go eat there today!”
“No chance? I think you mean no money!” I looked at her, mercilessly exposing her.
“Young lady!” Yu Rao blushed, embarrassed.
“Haha, I’m just teasing you! Today, order whatever you want. It’s my treat!” I patted my chest generously.
“Really, thank you, young lady!” Yu Rao’s eyes lit up, her previous embarrassment instantly vanishing.
After eating my fill and putting down my chopsticks with satisfaction, I waved to the waiter who had just finished serving customers nearby. He immediately came over and smiled, asking, “Miss, are you ready to pay the bill?”
I smiled calmly, “No rush. My little maid hasn’t finished eating yet! Could you trouble the waiter to help me invite the shopkeeper out? Just tell him a young lady has something important to discuss!”
The waiter’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Miss, are you dissatisfied with our dishes or service?”
I shook my head with a smile.”
The waiter was relieved, “Then please wait a moment, and I’ll go invite the shopkeeper right away!”
