EBE Chapter 287 Strolling
Chapter 287 Strolling
The atmosphere of the New Year's Eve is very strong, and red lanterns are hung on both sides of the streets.
The vendors were shouting as they sold sugar-coated melons, New Year pictures and various New Year goods.
The streets are bustling with people.
Lu Yuguan sat on a specially made wooden wheelbarrow and Li Chonglin pushed him.
Qi Wei followed leisurely beside him, holding a string of candied haws in his hand and taking a bite from time to time.
“It’s so lively!”
Lu Yuguan looked around excitedly. The fish tail gently slapped the water in the wooden barrel, splashing a few drops of water.
Li Chonglin glanced down at him, his lips curled up slightly: "Be careful not to splash water on passers-by."
"Yuguan, if you want to try some candied haws, I can share some with you."
Qi Wei said.
Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes: "Come on, I don't want to eat what you've bitten."
Qi Wei shrugged, pretending to be regretful: "Sweet but not greasy, sour but not astringent, not bad."
Li Zhonglin glanced at Qi Wei coldly and said, "If you still want to eat, you can go buy it yourself. There is no need to show off here."
Qi Wei didn't take it seriously, instead he smiled even brighter: "Hey, why are you so serious?"
He nudged Li Chonglin with his elbow and said, "It's New Year's Eve, be happy."
Li Chonglin snorted, did not respond, and continued to push the wooden wheelbarrow forward.
The three of them walked to a stall selling New Year pictures, and Lu Yuguan was attracted by a New Year picture of a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
The carp scales in the painting sparkle, as if they are about to jump out of the paper.
“This is a nice painting!”
Lu Yuguan exclaimed in admiration.
Seeing that a customer was interested, the stall owner quickly and enthusiastically introduced: "Young Master, you have good eyes!"
"This is the most popular painting in our store. It symbolizes success and prosperity in the coming year!"
Qi Wei came over to take a look and said, "If it's so popular, why hasn't it been sold yet?"
"This……"
The stall owner rubbed his hands awkwardly.
Lu Yuguan glared at him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!"
Qi Wei looked indifferent.
Li Chonglin directly took out a silver ingot and handed it to the stall owner: "No need to change, we want this painting."
The stall owner smiled happily and quickly rolled up the New Year picture and handed it to Li Chonglin respectfully.
"Thank you, sir!"
“I wish you good luck in the coming year!”
Lu Yuguan said with concern: "Chonglin, this painting is not worth so much."
Li Zhonglin said calmly: "As long as you like it."
"Your Highness is very generous, but Junior Brother, be careful. If you accept so much from others, it will be difficult to pay it back in the future."
Qi Wei teased from the side.
Lu Yuguan shook his head helplessly, too lazy to pay any more attention to Qi Wei.
When the three men passed by the Dali Temple, they happened to meet officials such as Fu Xiangqing at the door, distributing cold-relieving soup to the people.
Lu Yuguan leaned over the barrel and struck a handsome pose, "Morning, Master Shaoqing?"
"Lu Shaoqing?"
"His Royal Highness?"
"Aren't you in Xuanyu Sect?"
Fu Xiangqing was surprised.
Lu Yuguan quickly waved his hand: "Hey, Master Fu, please don't call me that. I'm no longer the Minister of Commerce."
"Lu Shaoqing is too modest. Since the Emperor stripped him of his position, the Dali Temple has still received a lot of commercial documents."
"The people recognize the Qianhua Chamber of Commerce, so they naturally trust you, Mr. Lu!"
Fu Xiangqing said with a smile.
Lu Yuguan raised his nose in a pleased manner and suddenly asked, "Then... those documents..."
"They're all piled up in that room!"
Fu Xiangqing said with a smile.
Lu Yuguan paused for a moment, "Is it too late to stamp it now?"
"We were supposed to deal with it after the New Year," Fu Xiangqing sneered. "If Lu Shaoqing wants to help, we'd be more than happy to oblige."
Lu Yuguan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered, "Advance quickly, advance quickly! I want to share the worries of the people!"
Although Li Chonglin was confused, he pushed the cart and took him in.
Qi Wei did not follow along, but he was more interested in the cold-relieving soup.
"This young man is..."
Fu Xiangqing asked politely.
Qi Wei smiled and said, "He's just a guest of the Bai Mansion."
Fu Xiangqing bowed and said, "So you are Mr. Lu's distinguished guest!"
"Sir Shaoqing, can I try to dispense the cold-repelling soup?" Qi Wei asked.
"Of course," Fu Xiangqing said without hesitation, handing the spoon to Qi Wei. "The Dali Temple is more than happy to have someone to help us!"
After several pots of hot soup were distributed, Lu Yuguan came out of the Dali Temple with a satisfied look on his face.
"It feels so good..."
"Another hundred points of civilization value..."
He opened the attribute panel and saw that the value column had reached a terrifying 350.
[Yeah! Host, you can buy inner elixir now!]
The system popped out and said.
"Go away, go play somewhere else and stop tempting me!"
Lu Yuguan said with disdain.
He still had two ice beast inner cores in his hand, which were enough for now at least, so there was no need to spend a lot of money to buy them.
【well……】
[They say men become bad once they have money...]
[It is true]
The system said sadly.
Lu Yuguan: “…”
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the three of them said goodbye to Fu Xiangqing and headed towards Qianhualao.
We had agreed to have dinner together today, but Jinjiao and Yinjiao were already so exhausted from eating that they dozed off on their chairs.
Jinjiao: "Sister Hongdie, I really can't eat anymore..."
Yinjiao: "My stomach is so bloated..."
Looking at the two babies' bulging bellies, Lu Yuguan was filled with frowns.
"Hongdie, they eat so much, why don't you do anything about it?"
Lu Yuguan asked.
Hongdie came in wearing a burgundy cheongsam and carrying two plates of fruit.
"They said that the Xuanyu Sect's management was strict and that they couldn't even get enough to eat. How pitiful..."
Hongdie sighed.
Qi Wei approached the two of them and leaned over to say, "I heard that the game from at least thirty of the seventy-two peaks was eaten by the new disciples of Xunyun Peak?"
Jinjiao stretched out four fingers seriously.
Qi Wei raised his eyebrows: "Wrong? Could it be forty peaks?"
Jinjiao corrected him, "Only four peaks remain."
Qi Wei: “…”
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Li Chonglin: “…”
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Hongdie hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and asked Xiaoguozi to hurry up and cook.
What Lu Yuguan cares about most is the mission of [Business Empire].
Hongdie handed him the account book: "Sir, this is the income for January, please take a look."
Lu Yuguan opened the account book, which was filled with densely packed numbers, making him dizzy.
He flipped through the pages for a while, then pretended to be knowledgeable and replied, "Not bad, keep up the good work."
Qi Wei was amused by Lu Yuguan's appearance and burst out laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
Lu Yuguan said angrily.
Qi Wei: "Nothing, just thinking about happy things."
Lu Yuguan: "What's the matter?"
Qi Wei: "The sow the clan leader is raising is about to give birth."
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Everyone chatted at the dinner table for half an hour. As it was getting dark, Lu Yuguan suddenly remembered something and took out a handful of pearls from under his scales.
Hongdie asked in surprise, "Sir, what is this?"
Lu Yuguan stuffed the pearl into her palm and said, "Don't ask, just feel it with your heart..."
"What a smooth touch..."
Red Butterfly exclaimed.
Lu Yuguan said mysteriously, "These are genuine mermaid wedding dress pearls. How much do you sell them for? It's up to you..."
Hongdie's eyes sternly said seriously, "I understand!"
"By the way," Lu Yuguan pursed his lips and said, "Please help me get some clear soup and tomato hot pot base..."
"Before I turned back into a human, I couldn't eat spicy food..."
Red Butterfly: “…”
