“Alright. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.’
Princess Jin followed the coachman’s instructions and walked straight ahead before turning left. After taking a few more steps, she saw an inn.
She looked up and saw that the plaque above the inn’s door read Jinbao Inn.
Princess Jin entered.
Because of her current attire, it was not easy for her to stay in a good room. Otherwise, she would attract more attention. Thus, she only asked for the cheapest room in the inn.
The next day, Princess Jin did not eat breakfast at the inn. Instead, she bought some buns from a stall across the road. There were quite a number of people eating there, so she went over.
“Two buns and a bowl of porridge, please.”
The man immediately scooped a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her. He smiled and asked, “We have several kinds of buns here. There are vegetable buns, meat buns, rice noodle buns, and sugar buns. Which one do you want?”
She had heard of other buns, but…
“Rice noodle buns?”
“Sure! Our family also bought the rice noodles from the restaurant down the road. That thing is made into stuffing and buns. It sells well.”
‘Xue Ji? Xue… Wasn’t the Crown Prince’s name Xue Yan?’
Although there were many people with the surname Xue in Da Ling, Princess Jin still decided to ask more.
Princess Jin took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table and smiled. “By the way, who owns that store you mentioned? Sounds like a capable person! ”
She asked casually.
“Xue Sifu opened it.” The boss answered without thinking. Usually, there would be other people who didn’t know about rice noodles asking, so it was common to get such questions. Princess Jin was shocked.
What a coincidence!
“I’ve been to his house many times to buy rice noodles,” the man of the steamed bun shop continued. “That’s his name. I heard that he was originally a farmer. Later, his family made rice noodles and he started his business here.’
Princess Jin saw that the shop owner didn’t seem to know more, so she didn’t continue asking. Instead, she smiled. “So that’s how it is.”
Another customer had taken a seat. The man selling steamed buns did not have the time to say anything more to her. He quickly brought her two rice noodle buns and went to greet the customer who had just taken a seat.
Princess Jin smiled as she casually watched the boss serve the other customers. She picked up a rice noodle bun with her chopsticks and took a bite. She ate the bun. The rice noodles were used as stuffing to wrap the bun, and it tasted decent.
When Prince Yi heard Xue Sifu’s name, she could tell that Xie Sifu was a complicated person. He managed to open a shop in Xinyuan County as a farmer. Although Xinyuan County could not compare to the prosperity of Jingyue, it was still a tough world out there starting a business!
At the thought of this, Princess Jin smiled and took another bite of the rice noodle bun.
She wanted to see how smart this man was.
After staying in the county for a day, she roughly figured out that the rice noodle shop had good reviews. Not only did they have a rice noodle shop in the county, but there was also one in Pingan Town.
Apparently, this rice noodle shop in the county was managed by Xue Sifu’s uncle, Xue Dagui.
She also heard that Xue Sifu would only come over occasionally.
Hence, Princess Jin took the ox cart that was on the way back to Pingan Town to see the other shop..
