Chapter 7 A Good Bowl of Beef Noodles
The Xingfu Food Store is only about 20 square meters, but its location is on the back street of the school and the rent is relatively cheap.
Xue Qi originally wanted to open the business today, but he didn't expect Qin Mei to come out of the detention center and come to his door.
Cheng Kai felt unlucky and handed her the remaining firecrackers from the opening ceremony. "How did she know you opened a store here? This is really unlucky. What are you doing with the firecrackers?"
"Of course, it's to teach her how to behave."
Xue Qi lit the firecrackers and threw them directly at Qin Mei. "Even if we call the police, they'll just have to mediate in the end. There's no point trying to reason with someone like that. She's a scoundrel, and I'm even more of a scoundrel."
Cheng Kai looked at her and felt that Xue Qi was different from before.
How could he remember that Miss Xue was a submissive girl?
Even if her blood-sucking parents forced her to get married and caused trouble at the company, she would not fight back.
In the end, it was Mr. Qin who gave her parents 300,000 yuan as a betrothal gift and finally got rid of the blood-sucking parents.
The firecrackers exploded beside Qin Mei with a "crackling" sound, and she was so scared that she immediately jumped up from the door, rolled and fell down the steps under the threshold.
She got up from the ground, pointed at Xue Qi and cursed: "You little vixen, you actually blew me up with firecrackers? Be careful or I'll sue you for intentional injury! You'll go to jail!"
Xue Qi took out his cell phone and said, "Do you want me to call the police for you? There are so many eyes watching here, and you want to confuse right and wrong. Do you think everyone is blind? If you get hurt, I'll take you to get a medical examination, and I'll pay for the medical expenses. But do you know how much this shop entrance design of mine costs?"
"It was designed by the famous Italian designer Lori, and it cost a full 250,000 to make. You just splashed black dog blood on it. Are you okay with this loss?"
Cheng Kai was confused: "???"
—Who is the famous Italian designer Lori? Didn't the store sign cost the advertising company next door 2,000 yuan to make?
Qin Mei didn't have the money. If she hadn't owed some online loans and was under great pressure from debt, she wouldn't have been so anxious to ask for the money.
When Qin Mei heard that she had to pay 250,000 yuan in compensation, she avoided the main point and said evasively: "You're talking nonsense! What kind of designer are you willing to spend so much money on?"
"Assistant Cheng,"
Xue Qi called out to Cheng Kai behind her, "Call the police, and then ask Lawyer Xu to come over. I'm not only going to ask her to compensate for the damage to her signboard, but also for the loss of her reputation."
Cheng Kai was even more confused: "???"
—Help. Can someone tell him who Lawyer Xu is?
To cooperate with Xue Qi, he dug out a phone number from his address book and pretended to send a message: "Lawyer Xu will be here soon."
Qin Mei was obviously frightened when she heard about compensation and lawyer.
She originally thought that at most the police would come, and the police would only help mediate such inheritance disputes. However, she was best at being shameless and making a scene. As long as she was thick-skinned enough, the police would be helpless against her.
At worst, she will be detained for a few days. What is she afraid of?
But if it involves paying money, she won't be so tough.
Qin Mei stood there hesitantly, her arrogance instantly weakened.
Just when Xue Qi thought she was going to back out, he saw small golden words appear above her head:
[Qin Mei is "labeled" as "Qin Tiantian's Vicious Aunt," and her villain value increases by 30.]
Xue Qi stared at the "marked" reminder message on Qin Mei's head and frowned slightly.
She looked around and indeed caught a glimpse of an apricot-yellow figure in the crowd.
The girl seemed to notice Xue Qi's gaze, and immediately turned around and walked away, soon disappearing in the crowd.
Liu Ruyu ran out of the food street in one breath and gasped for breath at the bus stop.
——Did Qin Tiantian’s stepmother not see her just now?
She soon regained her composure.
Even if she saw it, what would it matter? She used her own "mark" gold finger, and the woman couldn't see it.
Qin Tiantian's deducted "luck value" has recovered by 1 point, and Liu Ruyu has been feeling uneasy recently.
She came to Blue Mountain International specially, and unexpectedly she really got the opportunity she had been waiting for.
She was wandering around the back street of the school and unexpectedly ran into Qin Tiantian's aunt and stepmother arguing.
Her golden finger detected Qin Mei's "negative emotion value", and the other party met the conditions for being marked, so she immediately marked Qin Mei's personality.
In fact, the person she wanted to mark the most was not Qin Mei, but Qin Tiantian’s stepmother.
But for some reason, her golden finger couldn't detect any negative emotions from the other party at all.
Is it because it’s too far away?
Liu Ruyu was not discouraged. She decided to find an opportunity to facilitate a meeting with Qin Tiantian. In this way, there would always be a chance to detect Xue Qi's "negative emotion value" and mark her.
-
Xue Qi was in a high position, so she not only saw Liu Ruyu fleeing in a hurry in the crowd, but also saw Qin Tiantian squeezing into the crowd.
In order to let Qin Tiantian see the true face of her aunt, she deliberately used words to provoke Qin Mei:
"Qin Mei, your son is in jail for committing crimes, and you've never reflected on yourself? As a mother, you've never set a good example, and you're even into gambling and drugs. What's going on? You ruined your own son, and now you want to harm Qin Tiantian? Until now, I finally see the difference between you and pigs and dogs. You only look like a human."
When the people around heard Xue Qi's words, they immediately looked at Qin Mei with contempt.
The crowd was whispering, and some were even taking videos with their phones. She was so angry that her face turned red: "You little bitch, don't frame me!"
"Oh? So you weren't the one who was detained for assaulting someone in the drug rehabilitation center?"
Qin Mei was speechless. Furious, she rushed up the stairs in two or three steps: "I'll tear your mouth off if you keep talking nonsense!"
This shrewish behavior contrasts with Xue Qi, making Xue Qi look particularly restrained.
Even passersby couldn't bear to watch it, let alone Qin Tiantian.
The little girl squeezed out of the crowd and hugged Qin Mei's arm: "Auntie, stop it! Please!"
This was the first time she saw her aunt so fierce.
That expression was like that of a shrew baring her fangs and claws.
Seeing Qin Mei like this, her heart skipped a beat and she began to reflect on whether she had done something wrong by telling her aunt the location of the store.
Qin Mei has been in society for so long that she knows how to adapt to different people.
When she saw her niece, her voice immediately softened: "Tiantian, you're here. You don't know how this little vixen bullied me. She-"
Qin Tiantian didn't want to be watched and felt embarrassed, so she immediately took Qin Mei into Xue Qi's store.
After entering the small kitchen, she whispered, "Aunt, what are you doing? You're the one who caused all this trouble outside, aren't you? Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't cause trouble for her?"
Although she didn't trust Xue Qi, Xue Qi was responsible for preparing her three meals a day these days.
She is not without conscience.
Qin Mei softened her voice, held her hand, and immediately said, "Tiantian, Auntie wants to get your custody back as soon as possible. If I don't make such a fuss, why would she let you go?"
Qin Tiantian thought of the face she had just seen, and she felt a lump in her throat. "Aunt, please don't come here anymore. Let's leave it at that regarding custody. I signed an agreement with her, and she agreed to give me half of the inheritance. She also promised to give me 30,000 yuan a month for pocket money."
Qin Mei got anxious when she heard this: "My goodness! What are you thinking? The 30 million should have been all yours. Why should she take it away for nothing?"
The kitchen is semi-open and separated by transparent glass.
Xue Qi looked in from outside. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could clearly see the small golden words on Qin Tiantian's head.
[The cannon fodder girl is bewitched by the vicious aunt, and her bad luck value is accumulating.]
Xue Qi noticed that there was a translucent halo on Qin Tiantian's head, half of which was filled with black.
She probably guessed that once this transparent halo was filled with black, the little girl's "luck" value would be deducted again!
As for how many points would be deducted, Xue Qi had no idea.
The most urgent task is to give the little girl this "bad luck groove" first.
The last time Qin Tiantian’s “luck value” increased was because she received a positive review from Cheng Kai about her food.
But since that time, no matter how much Cheng Kai praised the food she cooked, Qin Tiantian's "luck value" did not change.
Xue Qi guessed that everyone's positive comments could only help Qin Tiantian gain 1 point of luck.
Today, the "Happy Food Store" opened. She originally wanted to confirm her guess through the diners in the store, but she didn't expect Qin Mei to show up halfway.
…
After Qin Mei left, Qin Tiantian felt unhappy.
It was as if there was a little devil in her heart, repeating in her mind:
—The inheritance is yours, it should all be yours. Why should you give some of it to that woman? Why?
Xue Qi and Cheng Kai worked together to clean up the store sign.
By seven o'clock in the evening, there were still no students coming.
Just then, a clean-looking young man walked into the store.
He was the first to greet Qin Tiantian, who was sitting in a daze in the store: "What's wrong with you? I heard that your mother--"
He remembered that Xue Qi was just Qin Tiantian's stepmother, and thought it was inappropriate to say so, so he immediately changed his words and said:
"I heard Sister Xue opened a shop here, and someone came here to cause trouble this afternoon. Are you okay?"
Qin Tiantian was in a bad mood and hated being asked about her family affairs. She spoke with a hint of impatience: "I'm fine."
Cao Yue was very patient and said, "If you need help, you can tell me. We are friends."
friend?
Qin Tiantian turned her head to look at Cao Yue after hearing this.
She never had any friends.
Seeing this look, Cao Yue felt a little embarrassed. He immediately waved to Xue Qi at the front desk and said, "Sister Xue, please cook me a bowl of beef noodles!"
Xue Qi went to make beef noodles for Cao Yue.
Through the transparent glass, Cao Yue saw her stretching the noodles into thin and long pieces, like she was performing an acrobatic act.
Cao Yue originally wanted to continue comforting Qin Tiantian, but when he saw Xue Qi making ramen, he was suddenly attracted.
The water in the pot was boiling. Xue Qi threw all the thin noodles into the pot and quickly flipped them with a long bamboo chopstick, and a handful of noodles spread out in the pot.
Because the noodles were extremely thin, they were cooked in a short while after being put into the boiling water. Xue Qi quickly scooped them up with a bamboo sieve and shook them neatly into the noodle bowl.
Mix the beef bones and chicken broth, and pour two spoonfuls of it over the noodles.
Xue Qi quickly cut the fried egg skins into thin strips and spread the golden strips on the noodles, forming a sharp contrast with the silvery-white noodles.
Finally, cover it with a few slices of thinly sliced beef and sprinkle with tender green onions, and the bowl of noodles becomes four colors.
When the noodles were served, Cao Yue was overwhelmed by the aroma of the bowl of beef noodles before he even picked up his chopsticks!
As soon as you take a bite, the aroma of shredded egg, beef and noodles spreads in your mouth. The beef is big and chewy, and the noodles are thin but chewy. The soup is especially rich and fragrant.
A mouthful of warm lower abdomen, the delicious taste completely washed out his esophagus, and burned a taste of happiness in his chest!
This bowl of noodles reminded Cao Yue of his deceased mother, and he felt both heartache and happiness.
Soon, Xue Qi saw small golden words appear above Cao Yue's head:
["Happy Food" makes Cao Yue feel happy, and Villain No. 3 awakens 10%. ]
Xue Qi guessed the meaning behind this sentence.
If her guess is correct, once Cao Yue's awakening level reaches 100, he will be fully awakened and will no longer be bewitched or influenced by the male protagonist's golden finger.
Almost at the same time.
The black color of the translucent tank on Qin Tiantian's head disappeared, and small golden words appeared:
[The little stepmother's "Happy Food" received a positive review from the villain, luck value +1.]
At the same time, Liu Ruyu just got on the subway and suddenly received a golden finger prompt:
[The cannon fodder girl's luck has increased again. Since you didn't guide her character in time, I'm giving her a minor punishment: 10 days of acne.]
Liu Ruyu immediately looked in the mirror and found that not only was her skin turning back to its former sallow color, but she was also covered in acne!
Help! How could this happen?
Why does Qin Tiantian increase her luck value?
Not far away, a child pointed at Liu Ruyu and said, "Mom! That sister looks like a toad!"
