Chapter 64: Stingy



It will be dinner time soon.

Throughout the afternoon, including the orders from Chen Fang and her colleagues, nine orders were sold, totaling 38 pairs of shorts.

Adding the twelve in the morning, there were exactly fifty. Lu Jinfeng counted them and wrote them down in a small notebook.

Wang Youyou roughly calculated that he had earned seven dollars, which was not bad.

Lu Xingfei drove the car over to help move the goods, and Zhang Jingxu and Li Hanrong also went to pick up Xu Sanli.

After cleaning up, Wang Youyou invited Lu Jinfeng to have dinner together.

But Lu Jinfeng refused, saying that she had to go back to have dinner with Chen Qiuxia.

Wang Youyou had no choice but to give her three of the five remaining lard candies in her pocket as a reward for her first day at work.

On the way to Minghua Hotel, Wang Youyou peeled a piece of lard candy in her hand and gave it to Lu Xingfei.

Lu Xingfei was driving, thinking about how to convince Wang Youyou not to set up a street stall. It was not until Wang Youyou stuffed the candy into his mouth that he reacted.

He opened his mouth and put the lard candy into his mouth, and Wang Youyou's voice came to his ears: "Is it delicious?"

The voice was soft and sticky, and it could be heard that Wang Youyou was in a good mood.

If he told Wang Youyou not to set up a stall at this time, I wonder what Wang Youyou would do?

Wang Youyou put a lot of thought into setting up the stall.

"Delicious." He replied casually.

Then Wang Youyou stuffed the second lard candy into his mouth. He took a look through the rearview mirror. Wang Youyou didn't move her mouth, but looked at him expectantly.

"Don't you want to eat?" he asked.

Wang Youyou shook her head lightly and said happily, "I won't eat it. I only have two lard candies left. I'll give them all to you. See if I'm nice to you."

Hearing this, Lu Xingfei became even more frightened.

He didn't know how to bring it up. If he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to stop Wang Youyou from setting up a stall on Huanan Street.

After struggling with his thoughts for a long time, he parked his car in front of the Ming Hua Hotel. He mustered up his courage and said with a guilty conscience, "Wang Youyou, I know you're good to me, and I used to..."

"So the Ming Hua Hotel is so close? It's just around the corner." Wang Youyou didn't hear him and hurried to open the door and get out of the car.

Seeing this, Lu Xingfei had no choice but to turn off the engine and get out of the car, thinking that it would not be too late to talk about it after dinner.

He took Wang Youyou into the hotel box.

In the past, he and Zhang Jingxu and others would come once a month and take turns treating each other.

Coming to Ming Hua Hotel for dinner is the happiest day of the month.

He had just sat down with Wang Youyou when Zhang Jingxu and the others arrived. This time, Zhang Jingxu's sister, Zhang Jingting, was also there.

As soon as Zhang Jingxu arrived, he proudly introduced her to Wang Youyou: "Sister-in-law, this is my sister Jingting. Isn't she pretty?"

Zhang Jingting wears glasses, has delicate features, is quiet and well-behaved. If you look closely, she looks 80% like Zhang Jingxu.

Wang Youyou had seen her photo in Lu Xingfei's bedroom. She smiled slightly, nodded, and praised, "She's really beautiful."

After that, she introduced herself to Zhang Jingting: "Hello, my name is Wang Youyou."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Zhang Jingting spoke politely.

Wang Youyou also nodded to her generously and gently: "Please sit down!"

Zhang Jingting was also sensible. She walked over and sat next to Wang Youyou.

When Xu Sanli saw this scene, she put on a cold face, said nothing, and sat in the corner, far away from Wang Youyou.

She cried so much these past two days that her eyes are a little puffy.

Li Hanrong sat next to Xu Sanli, two seats away from Lu Xingfei.

The waiter brought the menu over, and Zhang Jingxu handed it to Wang Youyou, "Sister-in-law, take a look at what dishes to add. We usually keep the same as last time."

Wang Youyou took the menu and didn’t dare to order something too expensive, so she added a dish of tiger skin green peppers.

Zhang Jingxu laughed and said, "Tiger-skin green peppers are spicy. Are you sure you can handle spicy food, sister-in-law?"

Here, except for them, no one else can eat spicy food, so they never order spicy dishes.

Lu Xingfei was worried that Wang Youyou was new to the world and didn't know that tiger-skin green peppers were spicy, so he whispered, "Wang Youyou, how about a different dish? The dishes we ordered are all non-spicy."

Wang Youyou completely forgot that people in Huaihai don’t eat spicy food.

He frowned and asked, "Don't you guys eat spicy food?"

Zhang Jingxu understood immediately and said to the waiter, "Add another dish of tiger skin green peppers and another dish of spicy chicken."

Zhang Jingting replied softly, "We brothers and sisters will eat it."

Seeing how attentive Zhang Jingxu was to Wang Youyou, Lu Xingfei felt like Zhang Jingxu had stolen his limelight.

He turned sideways and asked Wang Youyou in a low voice: "Wang Youyou, can you really eat spicy food?"

Wang Youyou said with a smile: "I can eat spicy food."

Afterwards, she said to Zhang Jingting, "It's a good thing you guys can eat spicy food too."

Zhang Jingxu chuckled twice and said, "Finally, I've broken the no-spicy dinner situation. From now on, someone will accompany Jingting and me to eat spicy chicken."

"My brother loves spicy chicken the most." Zhang Jingting explained gently.

As the conversation went on, Wang Youyou blurted out, "I like spicy chicken too. I've made it before, but it uses too much oil and dried chilies!"

Zhang Jingxu was a little bit unconvinced: "You can make spicy chicken?"

Having said that, Wang Youyou didn't hide anything and said directly, "I can cook so many dishes, such as spicy chicken, boiled fish, beer duck, goose soup rice cake, pepper shrimp, stir-fried clams, I can cook them all!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Sanli laughed coldly. She really lied without thinking!

Zhang Jingxu was stunned. These were all delicious dishes! He had never even heard of some of the names.

Isn't it said that her family is extremely poor? How could she do this?

He asked back, "Is it true? What if you're just bragging? Do you dare to do it for me? I'll provide the materials for what you just said."

Wang Youyou shook her head firmly: "I don't have time to do it for you, I'm very busy!"

Cooking doesn’t take time, right? It takes a whole morning to prepare a good meal.

Lu Xingfei didn't say anything. Seeing that they were chatting more and more happily, he began to feel a little jealous.

Just as he was feeling worried, he heard Wang Youyou say, "I'm going to make it, but I'll only make it for Lu Xingfei. If you want to eat it, you have to ask him first."

Then, everyone laughed except Xu Sanli.

Lu Xingfei didn't expect that Wang Youyou was always thinking about him and even mentioned him when talking to him.

Zhang Jingxu deliberately asked, "Old Lu, let your wife show us some of her skills!"

When Lu Xingfei met Wang Youyou's eyes, he suddenly felt very happy.

He grabbed Wang Youyou's hand and said domineeringly, "Don't doubt it. I've eaten the food Wang Youyou cooked, and it's really delicious. If you want to eat it, I can cook it for you."

"Hey! You stingy guy!" Zhang Jingxu couldn't help but say to him.

Xu Sanli laughed at the side and said, "Stop bragging, Wang Youyou. What can you do? Have you ever eaten those dishes? I'm afraid you haven't even seen those dishes before."
