Chapter 45 Beautiful Young Woman Turns into Foodie
After getting into the driver's seat, Li Yi quickly familiarized himself with the vehicle and couldn't help but remark on it.
"A good car is a good car, and it's exceptionally comfortable to drive."
"Pshaw! My A6 is nothing special. If you had accepted Xiao Liu's card before, you might be driving an A8 now."
Li Yi was slightly surprised. "Wow, is Sister Wen that rich?"
"Of course, Xiao Liu is a university professor after all, and he earns several hundred thousand a year. Plus, he saved her life, so she definitely won't be stingy with her money."
Wang Tao pursed her lips as she spoke, then looked at Li Yi, "So, now that you know how much money is in that card, are you starting to regret it?"
"What's there to regret!"
Li Yi shook his head. "No matter how rich Sister Wen is, it's all hers. Even if I want to buy a car, I'll earn the money myself."
Wang Tao seemed to have heard the most satisfactory answer, and her gaze towards Li Yi held an added touch of appreciation.
"Really? Then I'll see when you'll be able to drive an A8."
......
Taining Street is located in the core business district of Jiangcheng, and the whole street is bustling with people.
Li Yi found a parking lot in advance, parked the car, and then took Wang Tao for a walk.
Besides antiques, there are also all kinds of delicious food here.
As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the pedestrian street, a fragrant aroma wafted towards them.
Wang Tao's eyes immediately lit up, and she pointed to a stall not far away, saying, "Xiao Li, there are barbecue skewers over there. Why don't we go buy a few to try first, so we won't get hungry while we're shopping later?"
"Of course, no problem."
Li Yi didn't care much about buying some snacks.
So he immediately followed Wang Tao to the stall, and after she made her selection, he even paid for it himself.
"Oh dear, why did you pay? I said it was my treat."
"It's just a few skewers, it doesn't cost much. Besides, Sister Wang, you always take such good care of me, so I should treat you."
"No, that's one thing at a time!"
Wang Tao shook her head, then looked at a stall selling grilled rice cakes in front of her. "How about this, the skewers are on you, and I'll treat you to grilled rice cakes."
Li Yi couldn't refuse, so in the end he could only eat the skewers while following Wang Tao to buy grilled rice cakes.
He thought that would be the end of it.
Unexpectedly, just after finishing her skewers, Wang Tao spotted a takoyaki stall. "By the way, Xiao Li, have you ever tried takoyaki?"
Li Yi honestly shook his head, "I've never eaten it."
"Let me tell you, this stuff is delicious. Come on, I'll go buy some so you can try it."
"Sister Wang, really, it's not necessary..."
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a snack, it won't cost much."
A few minutes later.
Li Yi had just finished eating grilled rice cakes when he suddenly had a serving of takoyaki in his hand.
Just then, Wang Tao's voice rang out again.
"Hey, they sell three-delicacy bean curd sheets here too, and it's from Laotongcheng. Xiao Li, have you ever tried it?"
"I've eaten it!"
Wang Tao paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked disappointed. "You've eaten it before, but... I haven't had it in a long time."
"......"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi finally realized that Wang Tao, this "old" rich woman, was actually a foodie!
"Sister Wang, actually I ate it once a long time ago, and it tasted pretty good."
"Really? How about we try it again today?"
Wang Tao's eyes immediately lit up.
At this moment, this beautiful woman in her thirties was as happy as a young girl.
"No problem, I'll go buy it now."
Next, Li Yi simply went along with Wang Tao's wishes. Whenever her gaze lingered on that stall for a while, he would take the initiative to say that he wanted to try it.
Fresh fish soup noodles, egg wine, glutinous rice chicken, spicy hot pot...
What was supposed to be a shopping trip to buy ancient books turned into a culinary adventure.
More than an hour later.
I explored the entire food street.
It was lunchtime, but the two of them had already eaten quite a bit of delicious food and were quite full.
Wang Tao finally patted her belly, satisfied, and said, "Let's go, Xiao Li, let's go buy antiques!"
"Okay, let's go for a walk first, and then we'll see what good food there is and try it later."
After passing the food street, you'll immediately come to the antique market.
Although it was already noon, the market was still bustling with people.
"Come on over, have a look! Authentic Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowls, prices are negotiable!"
"Hey buddy, wanna grab a Ming dynasty snuff bottle?"
Inside the market, there are stalls set up directly on the roadside, as well as shops of all sizes.
The dazzling array of antiques was overwhelming.
Wang Tao had heard that Taining Street was very lively, but she had never been there before.
As soon as she entered the market, her eyes were immediately drawn to a stall in front of her.
"Hey, this bowl looks pretty nice."
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with a fat head and big ears.
Seeing Wang Tao's gaze fall on his stall, he immediately smiled and began to introduce it.
"Beautiful lady, you have such a discerning eye! This is a blue-and-white floral bowl from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty! Look closely, the color of my bowl is as delicate as splashed ink, the body is as thin as an eggshell, and the glaze is as warm and lustrous as solidified fat. It is absolutely a treasure among treasures..."
The stall owner launched into a long, rambling introduction, as if reciting a rhyming jingle.
Although Wang Tao wasn't familiar with antiques, she wasn't stupid.
"Pshaw! If this bowl were really that valuable, would you be willing to put it out on the roadside?"
"Miss, you're wrong about that!" The boss shook his head and said seriously, "What's the most important thing in the antique business? Fate!"
Every antique has its own story. As long as it meets the right person, we can discuss the money!
No one would believe that, let alone Wang Tao.
She pursed her lips, preparing to tell Li Yi to leave.
However, just as she turned around, she accidentally bumped into a small teapot on the table.
Clang!
The small teapot fell directly to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Wang Tao was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The stall owner was also taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.
And just like that, fate brought us together!
The owner immediately ran out of his stall, looked at the broken teapot on the ground, beat his chest and stamped his feet, showing a heartbroken expression.
"Oh dear, beautiful, how could you be so careless and break it?"
"I...I didn't mean to just now."
Wang Tao was completely stunned.
The boss didn't care whether she did it on purpose or not. "Beautiful lady, why did you have to break this Zhu Ni teapot of all things?"
Did you know that this is a genuine Qing Dynasty Qianlong period red clay flat-lid round teapot?
Moreover, this red clay teapot was Emperor Qianlong's favorite teapot, a gift bestowed upon me because my ancestor had rendered great service.
What imperial bestowal or anything like that? It all sounds so fake.
However, since she had broken the item by accident, Wang Tao couldn't deny responsibility.
After she came to her senses, she frowned. "The thing is broken. So, how much do you want?"
"It's not about the money! This Zhu Ni teapot isn't expensive, but it's been passed down from generation to generation in my family. A few years ago, someone offered me 300,000 yuan, but I couldn't bear to sell it."
But today, you actually broke it! How can I face our ancestors now?!
The boss immediately burst into tears and wailed.
