Chapter 10 Su Yingying Packs Up and Goes Home
Bai Mengran learned from Su Yingying that Anshun was a country that highly respected gender equality.
Because the late emperor married only the Empress Dowager, and the two were childhood sweethearts, their marriage was filled with affection and mutual respect.
The Empress Dowager had four children in total.
The eldest son, Xuan Molin, has no interest in the throne and is currently known as the Prince Wenxuan. He is accustomed to a life of leisure and enjoys it immensely, with no interest in politics.
The current ruler is the second son, Xuan Moyuan, who has been intelligent and farsighted since childhood. After ascending to the throne, he has implemented many significant innovative reforms.
In order to improve the status of women, he allowed women to attend school and also to pass the imperial examinations to become female officials in the court.
He ordered the Imperial Academy to establish schools and academies in various places, and all school-age children, regardless of gender, could be sent to schools to learn to read and write.
As a result of these years of implementation, more and more people in Anshun have become literate.
Hearing this, Bai Mengran couldn't help but look at the current rulers with new respect.
Upon learning that Su Yingying was a student at Wanlu Academy, Bai Mengran's business acumen kicked in.
"Yingying, are there any other food lovers in your academy? If so, could you please help me promote this place?"
"Yes, yes, yes! All my classmates love to eat! You know, in the academy, besides studying, the only thing we all have in common is 'eating'. On weekdays, people are often punished by the teacher for sneaking food into the classroom, and they even get their hands slapped."
Su Yingying couldn't help but chuckle when she recalled those scenes, but when it came to promotion, she said, "Sister Bai, I'll help you promote it even without you saying anything! You have so many food and drinks that I've never heard of before, they'll definitely love them."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Yingying. Here, these are the tickets. Please find a few of your friends who love to eat and have fun and give them these tickets to invite them to come and play in [Fairyland]."
Bai Mengran handed ten tickets to Su Yingying and told her that many shops here were not yet open, but there would be more novel and interesting shops coming soon.
"Really? Sister Bai, I love it here! I'll definitely come here often!"
"Sure, you're welcome anytime. Just remember, you don't need a ticket for your second visit. You can just stand at the door to verify your identity as a returning customer and then come right in."
Su Yingying nodded in agreement.
Seeing that it was almost dinnertime, Bai Mengran asked Su Yingying to wait a moment while she went to the convenience store to pack up the remaining oden for her.
Su Yingying wasn't idle either. She got up and went to the ordering screen in the milk tea shop to continue reviewing the knowledge she had just learned. She ordered six different flavors of milk tea and chose to take them to go.
This time, the milk tea was already packed in a special insulated bag for milk tea shops, with the shop's signboard and logo printed on it. Su Yingying found it novel and attractive.
Bai Mengran had also packed up the remaining oden. To make it easier to pack, she removed the bamboo skewers so that it would be easier to put the paper lid on.
Four large bowls, filled to the brim.
She helped Su Yingying and Zhu'er carry the bags and led them towards the exit.
"By the way, Sister Bai, have I really paid for all the things I bought?"
After that, Su Yingying stopped counting how much was deducted when placing her order, afraid that she might have missed something.
"No, every order is placed via facial recognition and payment is processed immediately. It's a complete transaction, so you don't have to worry about anything being missed. Plus, you can check your shopping list at the exit."
Bai Mengran had already inquired about this with the system, because matters involving money cannot be taken lightly.
She felt that the system's intelligent payment system was quite reliable!
It saves time, effort, and worry. Otherwise, she would have to spend every day using a computer to "reset, reset" the computer, which is a huge headache!
The three of them arrived at the exit with bags of all sizes and saw a giant lucky cat robot standing there.
It automatically walked towards the customers after recognizing their information from afar.
"Dear guest, thank you for your hard work. I am Zhaocai. You can view your shopping list and points here. If you don't need it, you can leave directly through the exit ahead."
The cat's left paw keeps moving up and down, its eyes are curved into slits, and there is a display screen on its belly.
Su Yingying found the talking cat quite amusing, so she tapped the screen on its chest to check it out.
"The shopping list for this time has been completed, totaling 488 coins, all of which have been settled. The total points earned this time are 488. Details of the purchase are as follows."
The display screen showed a detailed list of all the expenses, clearly recording the product names, quantities, and prices purchased from different stores.
Bai Mengran glanced at the items and saw that the oden at the convenience store cost 408 coins, and the seven cups of milk tea at the milk tea shop cost 80 coins, for a total of 488 coins.
Su Yingying looked at it carefully and thought to herself that this fortune teller's arithmetic was really amazing. She had never seen such a detailed account before.
"After verification, please click to confirm. You will receive a small gift from Zhaocai!"
After Su Yingying obediently did as instructed, the large pocket on the lucky cat's belly opened, and a pack of tissues with a cartoon milk tea pattern appeared randomly.
"What you have received is a tissue from Zhaocai. The tissue is clean and soft, and can be used to wipe your mouth and hands after meals, or when using the toilet."
"This paper is so pretty, and it smells nice too."
Su Yingying took the tissue and held it with great affection.
Luckily she checked it; otherwise, she would have missed out on such cute tissues!
Zhao Cai sensed Su Yingying taking the tissue and closing her pocket, then gestured for them to enter. "Thank you for coming. The exit is just ahead. [Fairyland], welcome back next time!"
After Zhaocai finished its work, it returned to its place.
Bai Mengran heard the system's announcement as soon as Su Yingying nodded in confirmation.
[Ding! 244 coins have been deposited into your account.]
That voice was absolutely beautiful! Bai Mengran, the middleman, finally made her first fortune since arriving here.
It seems the system settles the bill with her after each customer finishes shopping. Hmm, that's good. Otherwise, she might not be able to handle announcing each order individually.
Bai Mengran led the two out of the exit, concluding their magical journey through the fairyland.
They saw them to the door and waved goodbye.
After watching the two leave, Bai Mengran was about to return when she saw two haggard-looking children with tattered clothes sitting on the steps of an empty shop not far away.
She didn't want to get involved, but seeing them huddled together with those helpless eyes, she simply couldn't ignore it.
So she stepped forward, and the two children looked a little nervous as she approached. Just as she was about to ask a question, the older boy suddenly knelt down before her.
"Sister, please, please help my sister! She hasn't eaten for three days. Please, just give her something to eat. I'll do anything you ask!"
Jiang Feng had lost count of how many people he had begged along the way. Ever since his mother passed away and his father married another woman, he and his sister Jiang Yu had been kicked out of the house.
He and his sister wandered the country, begging along the way.
Occasionally, kind people would throw them a hardened steamed bun or something, but the brother and sister would only eat a small bite when they were starving.
But now they haven't eaten for three days, and his younger sister Jiang Yu is so hungry she can't walk. He really has no other choice.
Therefore, when Jiang Feng saw his sister, who looked like a fairy, walking towards them, it was as if he had seen the last straw.
