Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 539 - 528
Chapter 539: 528
Milia glanced towards Mr. Qin and Mrs. Feng to confirm they were okay, before she chose a scenario for them, made the payment and handed them a number plate.
"In a little while, they will call out your number. When you hear it, you can come over to queue up and collect your pass," Milia said as they watched her.
"All right, thank you very much, young lady," Mr. Qin smiled in her response and headed off with Mrs. Feng to find Mr. Lin and the others.
"Now that we’ve made our purchase, it will probably take about an hour before our turn comes up. Let’s have a seat here for now," Mr. Qin suggested as he sat down.
"No rush, we’re going to be here for more than a month anyway," Mr. Han said while enjoying his strawberries.
"You guys sit tight. I’m going to get some fresh juice for everyone. It’s freshly pressed in the kitchen and delivered here," Mr. Xia proposed as he got up.
"Thank you," Mr. Lin acknowledged without any hesitation.
"Thanks, but I’ll pass on the juice. I’d like a cup of hot tea instead, please," requested Mrs. Li.
"Sure," Mr. Xia nodded.
Arriving at the stall, Mr. Xia spotted Xuanxuan and the system’s cats sitting nearby.
He looked at the big buckets placed near the water supply, each labeled with its respective content and price: hot water was free, hot tea and juice cost one yuan and two yuan respectively. The cup for the juice was larger, so it was priced accordingly.
Seeing Xuanxuan’s grandpa here at the stall, the system was taken by surprise.
"Meow," the system cat greeted him.
"Ruo Xue, I’m here to fetch a few cups of tea. Is there a tray I could borrow? I’ll bring it back later," the elderly man asked the cat, knowing it understood him.
"Meow," the system nodded its head, pointing its paw over to a few trays hanging on the nearby wall, which were provided for the convenience of tourists.
With a quick payment from his mobile phone, the elderly man filled up a few cups of juice and hot tea and left.
The system didn’t insist on him paying for the drinks, but to him, a few yuan was no big deal.
"We have hot tea and fruit juice here. If you don’t want these, I can go and get you something else; it’s only a yuan or two anyway," Mr. Xia said after returning to his seat and placing the tray in front of them for their selection.
Their drinks were chosen quickly, leaving only one cup of juice.
"You hold this for me. I’m going to return the tray so it’s available for others who may need it," he told his wife.
"Okay," Mrs. Xia acknowledged as she took hold of his juice.
He returned swiftly, with a few packets of sunflower seeds and pistachios in hand.
"This is perfect to kill time," Mr. Han noted when he saw the snacks, chuckling.
"Isn’t it just? Drinking tea and juice all the time gets boring. These snacks are great," Mr. Xia agreed with a smile.
"You’ve thought this through," Mr. Lin praised, nodding his head.
With only a handful of elderly men and women in the area, they attracted quite a few gazes. However, they were so accustomed to prying eyes that they paid no mind, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds, enjoying pistachios, munching on fruits, sipping tea or juice, and reminiscing about their youthful days.
The younger people nearby, judging by their attire and fashion style, guessed that these elders came from well-to-do backgrounds and found the stories of their youth utterly fascinating.
They thought these elderly men and women were quite stylish and carefree.
Through their lively chatter, time flew by quickly.
When their number was called out, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Feng joined the other called numbers to queue for their pass.
The others remained seated, watching them join the line.
