Gu Lingxiao pulled the person aside and explained the problem in a few simple words.
Fu Yanlin: "So you suspect that person is one of Hu Gang's men!"
Gu Lingxiao: "I don't know what the other party is planning to do yet."
Fu Yanlin patted him on the shoulder, "We're brothers, we'll face anything together. Let's eat first."
"Aren't you afraid?" Gu Lingxiao asked him in return.
Fu Yanlin laughed, "Have you forgotten what I do? If I were afraid, I wouldn't be doing this job."
Gu Lingxiao thought so too. Although their jobs were different, they were similar in nature. "Okay, let's eat first."
So they went into the restaurant and changed seats because there was one more person there today, Guo Chen.
Fu Yanlin: "Let's make it clear first, this meal is on me, everyone please feel free to do as you please."
Gu Lingxiao said, "Then just like yesterday, some fried noodles and noodles with soybean paste will do."
Fu Yanlin waved his hand, "No, we have to order two meat dishes, otherwise it won't be a good idea to treat our guests!"
Lu Zhixia said, "The bones at their restaurant are pretty good. We should just order 10 jin (5 catties) of bones."
Fu Yanlin thought this would work, so he reached out to call the waiter.
"First, give me ten pounds of braised pork ribs! Then I want fried noodles with extra meat. As for what kind of noodles they want, just write down their requests."
The waiter nodded to indicate that he understood, and then looked at them.
Lu Zhixia: "I'm having noodles with soybean paste, just like yesterday."
Gu Lingxiao: "Then I'll be the same as you."
Seeing how well they coordinated, Guo Chen told the waiter, "I also want noodles with soybean paste, exactly the same as theirs."
Zhuang Ran looked at them and said, "Can I have one of each?"
Seeing the little chubby girl's eager look, Fu Yanlin told the waiter, "Give her one of each."
The waiter smiled and nodded, then wrote down the order form, left one on the table, and went to the kitchen to place the order.
Fu Yanlin looked at Zhuang Ran, remembering the saying that you should eat your fill, and asked curiously, "Are these two portions enough for you?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Zhuang Ran asked back.
"Go ahead and say it." Fu Yanlin was a little curious about the little girl's appetite.
Zhuang Ran stretched out his right hand and said, "I feel like I could eat five servings!"
They were all shocked when they heard this. A little girl could eat five servings of noodles!
Lu Zhixia: "Really? You can eat that much?"
Zhuang Ran smiled sheepishly, "Actually, this is one of the reasons why I came out. If I keep eating the food at home, they won't have enough to eat."
Lu Zhixia said, "You have a good appetite, but you can't eat too much, it's not good for your health."
Zhuang Ran bit her lip. "I know, because I'm afraid of overeating."
Fu Yanlin laughed, "Now that you mention it, I really want to see how many servings you can eat."
Zhuang Ran scoffed and said, "That's easy, wasn't it your treat?"
Fu Yanlin: "That makes sense. Okay, if you're not full, order more. Let's see how much you can eat."
"You said it yourself, so don't regret it later."
Zhuang Ran decided to teach him a lesson. Her appetite had once shocked the whole village, so much so that for a long time afterward, when other families held weddings or funerals, they would tell their mothers not to bring her to their homes.
If she regrets it, she shouldn't have eaten that.
"I have absolutely no regrets," Fu Yanlin said.
Then the waiter brought the food, and they each ate their meals.
Guo Chen observed that Gu Lingxiao would pick out the bones with the most meat from the basin and put them into Lu Zhixia's bowl.
Lu Zhixia didn't say anything and just picked it up to eat, seemingly already used to it.
So when Lu Zhixia put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief...
"Xiaxia, I have something to tell you. Can you come outside with me?"
Lu Zhixia stood up, then turned and walked outside.
I had a pretty good idea of what he was up to, but he was still persistent, so this time I had to give up firmly.
Fu Yanlin saw them leave and immediately told Gu Lingxiao,
"Hurry up and follow them."
"I'll wait a moment," Gu Lingxiao replied.
Fu Yanlin grew anxious, "What are we waiting for? If we wait any longer, it'll be too late! This man is clearly up to no good. I can tell he's trying to kidnap me!"
Gu Lingxiao: "I believe he won't succeed."
Fu Yanlin looked at his calm expression and said, "Brother, let me tell you, anything can happen. Back then, my sister didn't like my brother-in-law either, but after he kept pestering her, she finally agreed."
Gu Lingxiao stood up and quickly walked out.
Seeing his anxious look, Fu Yanlin finally smiled with satisfaction. But when he saw the pile of bowls in front of Zhuang Ran, he couldn't smile anymore. The girl was already eating soup noodles and drinking the soup from her bowl.
This person must have the biggest appetite he'd ever seen. If he hired someone like this to be his sister's nanny, wouldn't they eat the house to death? He broke out in a cold sweat and felt a pang of regret.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Zhuang Ran asked.
I rubbed my stomach with my right hand, feeling that I had reached my limit and couldn't eat a second bowl.
"It's nothing, keep eating. You can eat as much as you want, just don't overeat and upset your stomach," Fu Yanlin said calmly. "This is the first time I've ever seen someone with such a big appetite. I've really learned something new today."
"If that's what you mean, then I'll stop eating after I finish this bowl. I'm almost done too." Zhuang Ran saw that there were still a few bones left in the bowl, so he reached out, picked up a piece, and started gnawing on it.
Fu Yanlin couldn't help but marvel at how quickly and effortlessly the person ate; he had truly learned something new today.
"I'll give you some more money. Don't eat like this at my sister's house. If you get hungry later, come out and eat secretly."
