Liu Chang'an first ate some sweet potato leaves to cleanse his palate, then sampled the Guanyin duck. The duck Qin Yanan made was not bad. Thinking of the story about Qin Yanan and bad-tasting duck, Liu Chang'an smiled and glanced at Qin Yanan, who held a bowl in her hands and radiated a gentle, virtuous air.
There was a bit of an act to it, but wasn't this exactly what men liked? Just like green tea girls—everyone cursed them, yet they always had a market. The men caught up in it would always wonder, Is she a little different with me?
Don't assume only pretty green tea girls had a market. Plenty of girls with average or even below-average looks could still toy with men until they were swollen with excitement, only to be exposed later and leave everyone marveling, "What the hell is Hui Four?"
Real green tea girls all knew that men would always fall for this. Many men had very simple thoughts: She's so gentle with me. She thinks I'm special. Maybe I could try liking her?
Qin Yanan thinking of green tea girls did not mean she herself was one. Liu Chang'an had merely recalled some things Zhu Juntang, that green tea bitch, and that old tea cake had said before, then took another bite of Camphor Tree Port chili pepper.
He had never expected peppers from Zhangshu Town in Xiangyin to become so expensive nowadays, with some even selling online for dozens of yuan per jin.
Could one say that peppers costing only dozens of yuan per jin were not Camphor Tree Port peppers? Of course not. If a merchant lived in Camphor Tree Port and found a patch of soil there... even if they grew a single pepper plant in a Nutritional Express bottle
