Chapter 121

However, she couldn't take all the child's money, otherwise other families would say that she had cheated the child out of his money. So Su Guoer asked Chunniang to give him the remaining money.

After the seven little kids sat down, eight large bowls were placed in front of them.

Each bowl contained hot porridge, but one of them was actually mutton soup.

As usual, I ordered one serving, and of course the mutton soup should be included.

Then came the fragrant scallion pancakes and mutton pot stickers, as well as a basket of eight big buns.

A plate of pickles and four duck fat pancakes that several people broke apart and ate.

Qian Jiahui was very interested in the scallion pancake, so he couldn't wait to pick up a piece with chopsticks and eat it as soon as it came up.

Then…his eyes lit up and he said, “It’s so delicious!”

“It tastes better than what my chef makes!”

The child’s expression was so simple that it made everyone happy.

Then there was the duck fat sesame seed cake, which was so crispy that it crumbled into pieces when you took a bite. He ate the whole sesame seed cake!

The other kids divided up the work. A large meat bun was too big for them, so they would split it among themselves, or you could take a bite of mine and I would take a bite of yours.

The common point is that they all think the buns here are delicious.

One child even picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with chopsticks, but slurped it up because of the spicy taste. He quickly drank some porridge and never touched that thing again.

That’s right, children don’t like to eat such spicy food, they prefer light food.

However... the fat boy who said he would treat everyone took a few chopsticks of pickles and said as he did so: "Hmm! This pickle is also delicious, spicy."

It tasted just like him.

Place a piece of pickled vegetables on the golden brown scallion pancake and take a bite.

The aroma of scallion pancakes is mixed with the unique spicy, sour and sweet taste of pickles.

"Mmm~! This tastes really good!"

"I'll ask my cook to make it for me later. Eat!"

Lian Yuaner: "This is someone's secret recipe, they won't sell it. If you want to eat it, why don't you buy a jar and take it home?"

Qian Jiahui: "What a great idea! Buy it! Give me a jar of pickles!"

Su Guoer didn't let anyone go to get it, because one jar of pickles would be enough to last for a month if eaten sparingly, so she wanted two taels of silver per jar.

The price is a bit high. Can a little kid like him really spend so much money?

Not wanting to bother with the hassle, Su Guo'er simply stepped forward and said, "You guys can't carry this huge jar of pickles. Why don't you bring your parents over to buy some after school?"

Qian Jiahui: "Okay then, I'll buy it when my parents come to pick me up."

As he was speaking, he turned around and saw Lian Yuaner drinking mutton soup with great relish. He also gave a bowl to everyone present, so he asked, "Is this mutton soup delicious?"

Lian Yuaner nodded: "It's delicious, why don't you ask them?"

The others nodded and said, "The mutton in here is so crunchy and delicious!" Then they went back to work.

This made Qian Jiahui, who was standing by, murmur in disbelief. He didn't like eating meat, so he never ate any non-vegetarian food. He especially didn't like mutton soup with any meat in it.

I don’t know why.

But... now seeing how delicious they were eating, he wanted to try it too. He said as he presented a bowl himself.

He put more meat in the bowl and took a sip. After taking a sip, he said, "Hmm?" "Why do I feel that this mutton soup is not that bad?"

Lian Yuaner: "Yeah, yeah, it's delicious, right? How about we come here to eat again tomorrow?"

"I want to eat big meat buns tomorrow!"

Qian Jiahui was already immersed in the delicious mutton soup, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's come back tomorrow to eat! Isn't the food in this snack bar much better than the one sold at the school gate?"

"Yeah, it tastes better than the one sold by Empress Yong," the other children also agreed.

Well, I didn't expect that these children would eat so happily. Su Guoer witnessed everything from the side, smiled and shook her head, thinking that Lian Yuaner would definitely be good at studying in the future, he is too smart.

Breakfast was already prepared in the fresh food restaurant, so Su Guoer hurriedly called Yunniang over to eat together, leaving the restaurant to the others.

As for what to eat?

There are many chefs in the restaurant now, so Su Guoer doesn't plan to cook by herself. She will just take over occasionally and ask a few chefs to do the rest.

When cooking, we must ensure that there is one meat and one vegetable. Only when everyone eats well can the food be cooked well.

Just as I was thinking about it, the first table of diners arrived. They came in and ordered a plate of pot stickers, a basket of steamed dumplings, a bowl of fish porridge, and a plate of pickles, then sat down by the window and started drinking.

Su Guoer didn't know this man, but he looked like an old scholar, so she didn't ask too many questions and continued to eat her breakfast.

After breakfast, she went to the shopping place as usual. The vegetables delivered recently were a bit stale, and she was too lazy to ask, so she simply asked someone else to deliver the vegetables. The old man who delivered vegetables to her before was indeed old, and now that the restaurant was open, there were too many vegetables needed, and Su Guoer was worried about leaving them all to him.

So she brought Pang Ya to the vegetable market. As soon as they got there, they saw a group of people gathered outside, looking at something.

She felt it was strange, but after she stepped on tiptoe, she couldn't see what was inside, so she went to the man who brought her noodles and the shopkeeper and asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, something really big happened here. You are just a young lady, I am afraid you will be scared if you hear it. Do you really want to listen?"

Su Guoer was frightened by this, but she said, "How can a person be frightened by just one thing? Just tell the shopkeeper straight."

And the shopkeeper: "Okay, then I'll tell you."

"Yesterday, while my clerk was on guard duty in the store, he suddenly heard screams coming from the vegetable market. Those screams were shrill, like ghosts crying! They kept coming, and they lasted until half the night. My clerk was too timid to go over and see. Only a part-time night watchman and the soldiers on patrol that night went over to check."

"Guess what happened next?" The shopkeeper shook his head.

"The night watchman and the soldiers on night patrol were all dead in there! The remaining patrol soldiers didn't dare to go in to check because their shift leader hadn't returned yet. They waited until the next morning to go in and check."

"Then they found several bodies! Their deaths were horrific!"

Su Guoer: That's not that scary, but: "Where did that sound come from?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Dali Temple and the Imperial City Bureau have come several times, but they haven't found the source of the sound. And that sound...how can I put it?"

"That's not a sound a human could make!"
