Chapter 700: Six hundred and ninety-eight, go to the street

The next morning, Wu Yuan went with Wu Tong, Qi Hui, and Fang Jingmei to Luo Shu’s home.

Luo Shu was in the yard watering the flowers when she heard Wu Yuan calling out and came forward to open the door.

"Luo Shu, we’re going to the city, do you want to come with us?" Qi Hui asked. It had been a long time since she had gone to the city, and now that it was getting colder, it was a good opportunity to buy some fabric and make cotton-padded jackets for her three sons. She didn’t have to worry about her husband Old Xu’s clothes, as the Guard would issue new army overcoats when the time came.

"Sure!" Luo Shu agreed. She had nothing else to do at home, so a trip to the city sounded like a good idea.

"Let’s take the bus, it’s not convenient for you to drive with such a big belly," Wu Yuan said, looking at Luo Shu’s stomach. Unfortunately, among them, only Luo Shu knew how to drive.

"I’ll drive, taking the bus is too roundabout and time-consuming." Luo Shu closed the courtyard gate and they all headed towards the parking lot.

"Luo Shu, where is your hometown?" Wu Tong asked.

"Cloud City," Luo Shu replied.

"What a coincidence, I’m also in Cloud City now. I’m a teacher at the primary school in Fuyu Town. Do you know Fuyu Town?" Wu Tong’s face lit up with surprise. She had heard from her elder sister that Lu Hanmo was from Jinchen and assumed Luo Shu was as well.

Luo Shu nodded. "I know it, my home is not far from there, I live in Fangting Town."

"I’ve been there, it’s a small town. Then you must also know about Tenglong Group? It’s not only a leading enterprise in Cloud City but also one of the leading enterprises in Yan Country." Wu Tong instantly felt the joy of meeting a fellow countryman abroad and felt that the distance between her and Luo Shu had shrunk by a lot.

"I know," Luo Shu said with a nod and a smile.

"Tenglong Group is the factory that produces Snow Skin Cream, right? I heard that Snow Skin Cream is really expensive, costing one thousand yuan per bottle," Qi Hui said with a shake of her head and a sigh. It wasn’t so much a cosmetic as it was more expensive than gold.

"What? One thousand yuan a bottle? What in the world is that?" Fang Jingmei exclaimed in shock.

"It’s like the Snowflake Powder sold at the counters," Wu Yuan said. She knew about Snow Skin Cream and had even gone to see it at a specialty counter, but she couldn’t afford it.

"A bottle of fragrance powder for that price? The boss of that Dragon Group must have a really black heart. How is that any different from robbery?" The price completely upended Fang Jingmei’s understanding.

Luo Shu touched her nose and coughed lightly.

Qi Hui nodded in agreement. "He’s definitely greedy! But you know, there are quite a few people who buy Snow Skin Cream. I didn’t expect that Yan Country had so many rich people."

"When I accompanied my husband Old Li to a meeting in Jinchen, we went to a shopping mall. The salesperson there told me that once you apply Snow Skin Cream, your skin immediately becomes whiter and if you keep using it for ten days to half a month, spots and fine lines on your face will disappear," Wu Yuan said, her face showing a hint of longing and envy. What woman wouldn’t want to become more beautiful? But without the economic means, what could she do?

"Is it really that miraculous?" Fang Jingmei’s face showed clear disbelief.

"Yes!" replied Wu Yuan, Qi Hui, and Wu Tong in unison.

"Even if it is, that’s still too expensive. At the end of the day, the boss of that Dragon Group is just too greedy," Fang Jingmei complained.

"If it were one hundred yuan, I might consider it," Qi Hui said. One hundred yuan was also a significant amount for her, but for the sake of beauty, she was willing to grit her teeth and go for it. But one thousand yuan completely deterred her.

"Don’t think too much about it. Unless we know the boss of Tenglong Group, we can’t even afford a sample at that price," Wu Yuan said with a head shake. If it were one hundred yuan a bottle, she wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

As they talked, the group had arrived at the parking lot.

Luo Shu opened the car door, sat down, and after everyone had settled in, she stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly headed towards the city center.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Wu Tong looked at Luo Shu with envy and admiration. "How did you learn to drive? Is it difficult to learn?" She rarely saw women driving.

"It’s not hard to learn, you can learn it in half a day," Luo Shu said. In her future life, people her age nearly all knew how to drive.

"I really want to learn to drive, but even if I learned, I wouldn’t have the chance to drive," Wu Tong thought for a moment before dismissing the idea of learning to drive.

"Luo Shu, have you ever used Snow Skin Cream?" Fang Jingmei turned to ask Luo Shu. She felt that of all of them, Luo Shu was the only one who might have used Snow Skin Cream.

"No," Luo Shu shook her head. She didn’t need to use Snow Skin Cream because she had Spiritual Spring, the main ingredient of Snow Skin Cream, whose effect naturally couldn’t be compared with Snow Skin Cream.

"Even you haven’t used it!" Fang Jingmei was somewhat disappointed. She had wanted to see what Snow Skin Cream was really like.

The group chatted casually, and around noon, they finally arrived in the city.

"Let’s go eat first, then we can take our time walking around," Luo Shu suggested. Since her trip to Southern Sky, she hadn’t seen Grandpa Ning again. Although the diner was still open, the person in charge of cooking was now Sun Xiaolan. She had asked Sun Xiaolan about him several times, but even Sun Xiaolan didn’t know of Grandpa Ning’s whereabouts.

Wu Tong nodded in agreement, "I’m getting a bit hungry too, where shall we go eat?"

"At the diner opened by Grandpa Ning," Luo Shu said with a smile.

The group entered the diner and saw that business was still booming, with only two empty tables left in the entire hall.

"Luo Shu!" Sun Xiaolan saw Luo Shu and greeted her with a smile.

"Has your master returned?" Luo Shu asked excitedly. If Grandpa Ning hadn’t returned, Sun Xiaolan should be busy in the kitchen.

Sun Xiaolan nodded with a smile, "My master returned the day before yesterday, and he came to the diner yesterday."

"Then I’ll go see him later," Luo Shu said with a smile. She had been worrying about Old Master Ning, not knowing where he had gone or if he had encountered any danger; otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed away for so long.

"I’ll tell my master when I serve the dishes. He’ll be very happy to know you’re here," Sun Xiaolan said as she led Luo Shu and the group to an empty table, poured them each a cup of tea from a nearby teapot, and then went off to get busy.

Wu Yuan took a sip of tea and her face showed a trace of surprise. "This tea is so unique, it’s the first time I’ve ever tasted this kind of tea. Luo Shu, what tea is this?" Since Luo Shu was so familiar with the people at the diner, she must know.
