165 Meeting (Second Update)

When Gu Jiao left the mansion, Xiao Liulang had not arrived yet.

Across the street was a shop selling sugar water and crystal sugar-coated haws. It was here that she last saw Gu Yan and Gu Changqing.

The candied haws they bought back were beautiful and clean, with a variety to choose from.

Gu Jiao walked over: "Boss, give me three skewers of candied haws, one of sugared tangerines, and one of sugar coated yam and eggs."

The crystal sugar-coated yam and eggs were Xiao Jingkong's favorite, round and chewy, and no cores needed to be spat out.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Alright, miss, that'll be a hundred wen in total."

The cost of living in the Capital City was indeed high.

In the county town, a skewer of candied haws cost only three or four wen, while a roadside stall in the Capital City charged ten wen per skewer, and the price doubled in this shop.
