Chapter 44 - 44: 043: Still overcrowded i



Upon hearing this, the assistant was pleasantly surprised. “It’s not difficult, it’s what I should do.” He didn’t expect the second master to take his suggestion seriously.

He was extremely moved for a while.

After all, when had people as high-ranking as Grandma Mo ever tasted street food?

However, the taste of that roadside stall was indeed good. The noodles, the pickles, the fish slices, you would want to eat it a second time, a third time after tasting it once …

He believed that Grandma would really like it.

If Grandma’s appetite improved because of this, he would also be credited with great merit.

As an assistant, he had to share the boss’s worries.

Song Beicheng nodded and walked towards Grandma Mo, “Grandma.”

“Beicheng is here.” Grandma Mo quickly stood up with a face full of smiles.

Grandma Mo was a kind elder. She got along well with all her grandchildren.

Song Beicheng helped Grandma Mo sit down, “Grandma, I heard from Mom Wu that you’re not eating properly again.”

Grandma Mo sighed, “All, when you get old, your appetite isn’t good. 1 can’t eat.”

Song Beicheng smiled and said, “Grandma, you’re not old at all. Xiaoli said that the morning market recently introduced a new way of eating noodles, it tastes very good. 1’11 have him buy it tomorrow morning and bring it to you.”

Grandma Mo waved her hand, “No need to trouble him, it would be a waste.”

Song Beicheng poured a glass of water for Grandma Mo, “Grandma, for Xiaodie’s sake, you should at least try. You can’t eat nothing, right?”

Mentioning Mo Hudie, the expression on Grandma Mo’s face dimmed a little, she compromised, “Okay, let Xiaoli send it to me tomorrow morning to try. In all these years, I’ve never heard of any new way to eat noodles.”

In fact, Song Beicheng didn’t know what kind of magic this noodle had. But he still mysteriously said: “You’ll know by tomorrow morning.”

Grandma Mo understood Song Beicheng’s filial piety and chuckled, “Then I’ll look forward to tomorrow morning.”

Song Beicheng chatted with Grandma Mo for a while, then went to see Mo Hudie before leaving the Mo Family.

Time went by quickly, and it was the next morning before they knew it.

Zhu Yonghong came to the morning market half an hour earlier than usual, she had originally thought that her stall would certainly be crowded this morning, but she didn’t expect it to be Ni Yang’s place that was actually overcrowded.

Ni Yang hadn’t arrived yet, but a queue had already formed there.

Zhu Yonghong gritted her teeth in anger, then put on a smile and shouted, “Meat Buns are cheaper, six for one cent, six for one cent.” She had prepared more than three thousand Meat Buns today, surely she would be able to make up for the money lost yesterday.

Contrary to Zhu Yonghong’s expectation, these people did not swarm over like yesterday when they heard ‘six Meat Buns for one cent’. Only two or three people came over to buy some because it was cheap.

How could this be?

Zhu Yonghong’s heart suddenly chilled.

Clearly, her business was very good yesterday.

What kind of magic potion had Ni Yang fed these people?

In fact, these customers were all Ni Yang’s regular customers. They were used to eating Sour Fish Noodles. Besides, most of them had tried Buns yesterday. The taste of those Buns was nowhere near half as good as the Sour Fish. Moreover, the Sour Fish Noodles were not very expensive, only three cents a bowl, which included vegetables, noodles, and soup, which was a great deal. Therefore, they came early to line up today, waiting for Ni Yang to start his business.

Before long, Ni Yang rode her bike over to the scene. The crowd’s eyes lit up at her arrival, “Little boss, you finally came.”

Ni Yang smiled and said, “Sorry to keep you all waiting.”

A few minutes later, with the help of several customers, Ni Yang swiftly set up the tables and chairs and struck up the stove.

The first customer of the day was a young man dressed in a respectable white shirt. He handed his thermos to Ni Yang and politely said, “Hello, could I trouble you for two portions – one to eat here and the other packed to go.”

Ni Yang nodded with a smile, accepting the thermos, “Hello, that’ll be six cents. Please take a seat over there. 1 will bring you the noodles shortly.”

Li Gongcheng handed Ni Yang six cents, then went and sat down at an empty spot.

He had seen Ni Yang more than once, but each time, this young girl would dazzle him anew.

As an assistant to Song Beicheng, Li Gongcheng often frequented high society events following behind Song Beicheng. He had met many prestigious ladies, but he had never seen one as beautiful as Ni Yang.

Even the movie stars couldn’t compare to Ni Yang.

If he could marry such a beautiful wife, he wouldn’t mind even if it was all just a dream.

Actually, he himself wasn’t lacking either. He earned a high salary of 30 yuan per month, owned a house in Beijing, and his appearance was…above average.

People of this era were slightly more innocent. They wouldn’t dare express their feelings for the girls they liked openly.

Li Gongcheng wondered: should he seek a matchmaker?

Whether it would work or not, he had to give it a try.

While he was in deep thought, a bowl of fragrant noodles was placed in front of him. A faint voice came from above, “Please enjoy these first. As for the noodles to go, I’ll prepare them for you after you finish eating here. Otherwise, the noodles will become mushy over time.”

What a considerate girl! Li Gongcheng mused internally before looking up and replying, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Ni Yang replied and headed back to her stall to prepare more noodles.

At this time, most of the customers brought their own bowls and chopsticks. Many people, due to lack of seating, ate while squatting on the ground. Some took their order back home.

Zhu Yonghong saw how Ni Yang’s business was booming and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. He called out loudly, “Meat buns! Freshly cooked meat buns! Six for a cent, six for a cent!”

Despite Zhu Yonghong’s effort, not many were buying.

Li Gongcheng quickly finished his noodles and prepared to approach Ni Yang. But in front of him, a fair, clean hand appeared. It was as delicate as jade, with slender fingers and smooth skin. The round nails were neatly trimmed, like rows of tiny shells. Graceful and beautiful.

It was clearly the hand of a lady of high stature. Looking at this hand, Li Gongcheng felt a sense of inferiority emerging.

Ni Yang placed the thermos on the table, “Here are your noodles. 1 put the chili separately in a bag. If you like spicy food, you can add some when you eat.”

Coming to his senses, Li Gongcheng blushed slightly and replied, “Thank you. I’ll remember that.”

Ni Yang replied with a soft smile, her lips forming a radiant arch, “Oh, it’s nothing serious.”

The smile outshone everything else. Lost in it, Li Gongcheng didn’t snap back to reality until he noticed Ni Yang had already returned to her stove and started bustling about with her work.

Recalling his task, Li Gongcheng jolted. He picked up the thermos and quickly pedaled away on his bike.

Fortunately, the Mo residence wasn’t far away. In about 10 minutes, Li Gongcheng arrived there.

Lady Mo, always an early riser, was sitting on the couch in the living room, drinking milk. Her expression seemed unpleasant; she seemed to be forcing herself to gulp down the milk.

“Madam, good morning! I’ve brought the noodles,” Li Gongcheng respectfully handed the thermos to Lady Mo..
