Rebirth in the Eighties: Reclaiming Space and Marrying a Rough Guy

In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...

Chapter 80 A unique store

"That's all the business we've done before the New Year. Give me another 10 yuan and go have a nice meal. See you next year during the Lantern Festival!"

Ye Jin saved enough money to buy land and planned to take a good rest for a while.

The main reason is that the spring water in the space is getting less and less. If she continues to use it like this, it will be gone. She is reluctant to waste it like before.

"Sister, won't you celebrate the New Year with us?"

Someone looked at Ye Jin with anticipation, and the little yellow-haired boy nodded frantically.

"Sister, it's been a while since we last met. Are you going to close down after just one business trip?"

Some people also looked at her affectionately, with some inexplicable meaning in their eyes.

"Sister, if I miss you, can I come to see you during the New Year?"

As soon as Lao Liu said this, everyone was stunned. Many people looked at Ye Jin. She was their breadwinner. They called her sister one after another, but they still didn't know where Ye Jin lived.

"My house is old and small. I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people."

Ye Jin took a look at their strange looks and decided not to bring them to her grandmother's house, lest the old lady nag her and think that she only made friends with bad people outside.

"Don't bring them. I can go quietly. Sister, tell me your address quickly and I'll come find you when the time comes."

Lao Liu lowered his voice. He was very persistent on this matter. Ye Jin couldn't persuade him and could only tell him grandma's address.

When the little yellow-haired boy saw the two of them whispering in front of everyone, he immediately became dissatisfied.

"Is there anything you can't say to our faces? Why are you doing it behind our backs? Don't you consider us your own people?"

"That's right, we are all your good helpers and good brothers. I can't favor one over the other."

The two hip-hop generals just kept laughing while talking, and they looked at Ye Jin with smiles, not wanting to miss the good opportunity to get to know the young lady.

"I'm talking to Sister Ye Jin, so why should you little brats interrupt me? Even though it's quite cold right now, please go wherever it's cooler!"

Lao Liu held 10 yuan in his hand, and he pushed everyone forward half-jokingly and half-seriously.

When everyone saw the money in his hand, they naturally knew that today's lunch was settled, and they were all very happy.

Ye Jin chatted with everyone for a while before leaving with Gu Yan.

"Chinese New Year is coming soon, tell me what you want to eat, I'll treat you!"

"Let me take you somewhere."

Gu Yan smiled mysteriously, and Ye Jin followed quickly behind him, asking unwillingly.

"Where are you planning to go? Can't you tell me in advance?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

Gu Yan winked at her mischievously, and Ye Jin followed behind helplessly.

The two of them came to the door of a small shop. The shop didn't even have a proper signboard, and it was located in a remote alley. Normally, it would be impossible to find the place without someone to lead the way.

“Is this also a store?”

Ye Jin pushed the door open doubtfully. Unlike the shabby outside, the place inside was spacious and had many customers. It looked like the business was good.

"Of course this is a store, and it's a store that's not open to the public."

"Then how did you find this place?"

Ye Jin walked in curiously, and Gu Yan quickly helped her open the door.

"Of course it was introduced by a friend, otherwise I wouldn't have known the food here is so delicious."

As soon as the two entered, the door was closed. The room was a little dark, and Ye Jin's heart was pounding with nervousness.

After a while, when her eyes adjusted, she realized that the light inside was actually very soft.

The waiter led them to their seats and lit a small lamp for them.

The dim light made everything around seem warm, and the waiter handed over the menu.

Gu Yan took it and pushed it in front of Ye Jin. He turned sideways and took the initiative to introduce the dishes.

"This spicy rabbit head is made from a freshly slaughtered rabbit. The rabbit meat is diced and stir-fried, and it's fresh, fragrant, and delicious."

"The pickled fish here is made by slicing fresh grass carp and cooking it with pickled cabbage from the farmers. It has a very unique taste..."

Every time Ye Jin looked at a dish, Gu Yan patiently introduced it.

After looking through the menu, Ye Jin had a clear understanding of all the dishes here.

She ordered two dishes she liked and pushed the menu in front of Gu Yan.

"I'm done ordering, it's your turn."

Gu Yan noticed that her eyes lingered on the spicy shrimp for a while, so he ordered a spicy shrimp dish, his favorite stir-fried beef and eggplant with beans, a dessert and a mushroom soup.

"Why did you order so many dishes? Can we finish them both?"

Ye Jin is not a wasteful person. She only orders as much as she can eat. This table of dishes for two people is a bit too much for her.

"The dishes here are very delicate, and the portions are not very large, but they taste very good. If you are worried that you can't eat enough, you can eat less rice and more vegetables."

The waiter brought the dishes and tea. Gu Yan picked up the teapot and carefully scalded the dishes, then poured a cup of tea for Ye Jin and set it aside to cool.

"This is the jasmine tea that just came out this year. Try it and see if you like it."

Ye Jin picked up the teacup and took a sip, and found that the tea had a strong jasmine fragrance and a very unique taste.

"It's a bit extravagant to use such good tea to heat dishes and chopsticks."

Ye Jin drank a cup in one breath and pushed the cup over. Gu Yan picked up the teapot with a smile on his face and poured her another cup.

"If you like it, I'll ask the waiter to bring another pot."

"Well, I can't drink that much, but I just think this tea is pretty good."

While we were talking, the beans and eggplants were already served.

The purple eggplants and green beans didn't look like products of this season, but they were actually served on the table.

"Are beans and eggplants still available in winter?"

Gu Yan invited her to eat, and Ye Jin asked in confusion.

"They are all shipped in from other places. Now some places have done well in greenhouse vegetables, and they can grow things that are out of season. They are fresh to eat."

Ye Jin picked up a piece of eggplant with chopsticks. It was fresh, fragrant, soft and glutinous, with a strong eggplant flavor. It tasted really good.

The beans are a little different from what we usually eat. They are crispy, tender and especially delicious.

The spicy shrimps were served on the table. The fried red shrimps were paired with hot dry chilies, and sprinkled with a handful of green onions and white sesame seeds. It looked so delicious that it made people's mouths water.

Ye Jin picked up a shrimp and ate it in one bite. The shell was crispy and crunchy, and the shrimp meat was chewy and delicious, with a hint of spiciness, but not too spicy.

Celery is added to the stir-fried beef. The stems of the vegetables are not big, but the celery flavor is very strong. The beef is tender and smooth, and you can tell at a glance that the cow has just been slaughtered.

The most amazing thing is the mushroom soup, which is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue after taking a sip.

Ye Jin was a little reserved at first, but as the dishes were served, she completely lost control.

These dishes are so, so, so delicious!
