Chapter 888

When concubine Li arrived at Liuguang pavilion with her lunch box, Xiao Xixi was sitting in the corner and heard that Mr. Shu was telling a story.

At this time, there is still some time before dinner, which is the worst time of the day. Liuguang Pavilion will close its doors and rest at this time on weekdays, and then open for business at the same time.

But recently, Liuguang pavilion has changed its business strategy.

Now Liuguang Pavilion is also open in the afternoon, but it doesn't sell meals, only refreshments, and storytellers tell stories in the lobby.

Not only that, Liuguang Pavilion will also provide Shengjing daily for guests to read for free, and the service is quite considerate.

Some customers who are idle and bored will come here to drink tea, listen to stories and read newspapers.

It has to be said that this place is really a good place to pass the time.

At this time, the story told by Mr. storyteller is a story book written by Princess Li.

Xiao Xixi listened to the story while eating tea. She looked very relaxed.

The shopkeeper of Liuguang pavilion was afraid that other guests would disturb her, so he specially set up a delicate screen next to her to circle out the corner for her to enjoy alone.

The waiter had been ordered by the imperial concubine for a long time. As soon as he saw concubine Li coming, he took her to the table where the imperial concubine was located without saying a word.

Imperial concubine Li sat down opposite the imperial concubine. She looked at the storyteller outside her eyes.

The storyteller is still gushing about the story. His passion is surging and his saliva is flying. He has aroused the emotions of the audience. Some people are clapping their hands and cheering, and others are asking in a hurry. Then?

Princess Li blushed.

When she wrote her own script, she didn't feel anything, but when she heard others tell her story aloud in public, she had a faint sense of shame.

She couldn't help but rejoice in herself. Fortunately, those people didn't know that she wrote the script.

Or she'll really have to find a seam to get in.

Xiao Xi saw the food box on the table and asked curiously.

"What is this?"

Princess Li took back her thoughts, reached out to open the food box and took out two plates of delicious pickled vegetables, namely marinated pork and marinated chicken legs.

"This is made by my cook himself. My cook is ordinary, but his craft of making pickled vegetables is unique. Would you like to try it?"

You must try it! Xiao Xixi immediately picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of marinated pork and put it into his mouth.

The pork has been cooked soft and rotten, with a soft and bright luster on the surface. The fat part is slightly transparent, like a reddish brown agate stone.

I don't know what's added to the brine, which tastes better and fragrant than other brine dishes.

The mouth is fragrant and soft. It tastes delicious. People can't wait to swallow it.

Xiao Xixi ate the marinated pork and immediately picked up a marinated chicken leg to eat.

While she was eating, she raised her thumb to Princess Li.

Imperial concubine Li didn't understand the meaning of thumbs up, but from the imperial concubine's reaction, she should be very satisfied with these pickles.

This pickle is delicious and a little salty. If only there were a bowl of rice or a bowl of noodles now.

Xiao Xixi couldn't help but call the shopkeeper and ask him to help order some rice.

At this time, the cook has gone to rest. No one cooks in the kitchen, but since the imperial concubine has spoken, even if the cook goes to rest, he must be called back!

The shopkeeper answered without hesitation: "wait a minute. I'll prepare rice for you."

Princess Li stopped him and asked him to help heat the pickles.

Princess Li told her that the heated pickled vegetables were more fragrant.

Xiao Xi immediately agreed and urged the shopkeeper to prepare quickly.

When the shopkeeper brought the rice and heated pickles to the table, he immediately attracted the attention of the customers at the next tables.

They smell the fragrance and ask the shopkeeper one after another.

"Isn't it time for dinner? Why did you open fire in the kitchen?"

"Now that we've all opened fire, we might as well make some wine and vegetables for our table."

The shopkeeper had no choice but to let the cooks go to work in advance. Therefore, he doubled the cooks' wages today, otherwise the cooks wouldn't do it.

Xiao Xi scooped up the marinade with a spoon, poured it on the rice, and then mixed the marinated meat evenly.

A bowl of delicious marinated rice will be fresh!

She was eating marinated rice happily and deeply felt that today's trip was worth it!

Princess Li was not hungry, but when she saw the imperial concubine eating so delicious, she couldn't help swallowing.

She quietly stretched out her hand, picked up a marinated chicken leg and nibbled it.

At this time, the shopkeeper brought some dishes of fried vegetables and a cup of soup, saying that it was given to two distinguished guests by Liuguang Pavilion.

Xiao Xixi knew that Liuguang pavilion was the property of the king of England and didn't need to save money for the king of England, so she accepted it impolitely.

The storyteller had finished the story he was going to tell today, leaving a sentence "predict what will happen next, please listen to it later", so he finished work and left with a folding fan in one hand and a tea lamp in the other hand.

Princess Li couldn't help asking, "can we go to the bookstore later?"

Xiao Xi raised her head from her job and asked, "do you want to buy books?"

Imperial concubine Li was a little embarrassed and said, "no, I just want to have a look at the scripts I wrote. How are they selling?"

Xiao Xi smiled: "no problem."

Princess Li said quickly in a very soft voice.

"Thank you."

Xiao Xi didn't hear clearly: "huh?"

Princess Li: "no, nothing."

Princess Li thought she could eat very much. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine ate much more than her.

What's more irritating is that the imperial concubine doesn't gain weight after eating so much!

Princess Li quietly touched the flesh on her waist and abdomen, full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

There used to be a fat concubine Xiao, but now there is a fat concubine.

Why are there so many thin people in the world who don't eat fat?!

Why can't she be one of these thin people who can't eat fat?!

After the two had finished eating, Princess Li was going to call the shopkeeper to check out.

Although the shopkeeper said that the dishes and soup were free, the tea that the imperial concubine ate before didn't say it was free, and there must be a fee for tea when you eat in such a place.

However, Xiao Xi said directly to the shopkeeper.

"Write down today's account to the king of England. You ask him for money."

Princess Li hesitated and said, "it's not very good..."

Xiao Cuixi: "nothing bad."

I think the reason why Yingwang was able to catch up with his daughter-in-law was thanks to her pie from the sky. She was the matchmaker of Yingwang and his wife. They haven't given any money to thank the matchmaker. What's the matter with rubbing them for food?

Xiao Xixi firmly refuses to admit that he is the enemy of the rich.

The shopkeeper smiled and said yes.

He respectfully sent the two distinguished guests out of the Liuguang Pavilion.

Xiao Xixi and Princess Li took a carriage to the nearest bookstore.

As soon as Li Fei entered the bookstore, she saw the script she had written.

They were placed in the most prominent position.

When the bookshop owner saw Li Fei staring at those scripts, he immediately introduced her attentively.
