Chapter 24 Tang Kee Snack Shop

Two people, four different thoughts, suddenly collided with each other, and the expressions on their faces were quite rich.

Especially Xie Minghui.

When he saw the person he had just been thinking about appear in front of him again, he was stunned at first, and then showed an expression that kept the person at a distance.

Abbreviation: holding.

Xia Tang was too lazy to watch him carry it.

After my rebirth, seeing Xie Minghui again was as disgusting as seeing a toad.

She turned around and wanted to go somewhere else, but was stopped by Hu Meihua.

"Xia Tang."

Hu Meihua seemed to have mustered up her courage and raised her voice a little:

"You guys...are shopping too!"

Xia Tang responded subconsciously, and when he saw Hu Meihua's chin slightly raised, he suddenly found it interesting.

Hey guys, is it really that prestigious to go on a blind date with Xie Minghui?

Even Hu Meihua couldn't help but show up in front of her?

Hu Meihua swallowed her saliva and asked again:

"You... today is your last day, right?"

"Is your shop ready?"

"Not yet. I'm still busy with some stuff. We'll open next week."

Xia Tang looked down at Hu Meihua's empty hands, then moved his gaze to her face:

"After the opening, you are welcome to come and we will give you a discount."

Hu Meihua nodded modestly, and watched Xia Tang and the little object turn around and leave, with an inexplicable smile on her face.

She is not a bad girl, but everyone tends to compare.

She knew that Xia Tang had talked with Xie Minghui before, and even though they broke up now, she couldn't help but feel a little upset.

What's more, Xia Tang was famous for her beauty, so she inevitably felt three inches shorter when facing her.

But now, Xia Tang has quit his job.

The difference in their identities makes up for their shortcomings in appearance.

It even made Hu Meihua feel slightly superior when facing her.

And in front of Xie Minghui, this superiority must be shown.

Sure enough, after Xia Tang and the others left, Xie Minghui lowered his head and asked her:

"You just said Xia Tang's last day...what do you mean?"

Hu Meihua pretended to be calm and said:

"She sold her workstation a few days ago, and today is her last day at work."

Seeing Xie Minghui's surprised expression, she raised her head slightly and said:

"I heard from others that the yard that the factory originally allocated to their family was also taken back. In exchange, it was given to Xia Tang a storefront that no one wanted. Xia Tang quit his job just to use that storefront to open a snack bar!"

After saying this, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Minghui, and sure enough, she saw Xie Minghui slightly raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Snack bar...she is too troublesome."

He really disdains such behavior.

When I thought that this person was Xia Tang, I felt even more contemptuous in my heart.

When you see others making money from business, you think you can do it too.

He even stopped working in the factory.

Don’t you think she has the ability to do this?

"Yeah, I told you, she thinks it's too simple! Wait until she spends all the money from selling the workstations, and then we'll see what she'll do!"

Hu Meihua finally found a common topic and happily continued the conversation.

"yes."

Xie Minghui looked down at Hu Meihua's happy face.

Compared to Xia Tang's short-sightedness and recklessness, it seemed that the plain-looking girl in front of him looked much more pleasing to the eye.

After visiting the market for several days, Xia Tang finally decided what to sell in his shop.

She ordered a few long vertical boards from the original carpenter of the herbal medicine factory, and wrote the names of the dishes on them beautifully with yellow paint.

The main dish is small pot rice noodles, the most famous of which is chrysanthemum rice noodles. There are also the usual beef rice noodles, fresh meat rice noodles, sour bamboo shoots and chive rice noodles, pork intestine rice noodles, etc.

Each serving of rice noodles is served in a small copper pot, which can gather heat and flavor.

Considering the children who were coming home from school nearby, Xia Tang also made a round stove for frying potatoes.

The fried potatoes are placed in a circle on the stove. When someone wants them, they are added with chopped green onions, coriander, chili powder and other seasonings. They taste soft, crispy, spicy and very satisfying.

All the household items are pretty much in place.

As the last step, Xia Tang hung the sign of "Tang's Snack Shop" on the door, walked down two steps, and was about to jump directly to the ground.

However, she did not touch the hard floor, but fell into the broad embrace.

Before she could react, she heard a sticky voice from above her head:

"It's so high, be careful not to sprain your ankle."

After saying this, he put his hands down.

After watching the movie together, Qin Yue seemed to be more relaxed than before.

But sometimes, I still blush.

His skin was clean, and every time he blushed, his face would spread from his neck to the tips of his ears. Every time Xia Tang saw it, she would marvel at how someone could be so red.

However, this time, Qin Yue did not blush.

It was a late autumn day, and he was helping Xia Tang open a small door in the backyard.

It was too hot from working, so he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with his bulging arms exposed.

This made Xia Tang feel embarrassed.

Qin Yue just came over in a hurry, but after taking over Xia Tang, he realized that his hands were not clean.

He bent down and patted the white ash off Xia Tang's body. When he saw the white ash on her clothes floating up, he couldn't help but stepped forward to block it.

At the same time:

"The back door will be ready soon."

He built a small back door in the backyard, which also had the sign of "Tang Ji Snack Shop" on it.

With this small door, people from the back street can walk in directly, and it is also the closest to the two nearby schools.

"good."

Xia Tang nodded.

"I'm going to try to make fried potatoes later, do you want some?"

Qin Yue nodded.

Both of them enjoyed their lunch very much.

The fried potatoes made by Xia Tang are a little different from those outside.

Ingredients are still expensive in this world. Many small stalls selling fried potatoes are reluctant to use oil, and often fry the potatoes not thoroughly; some are even baked.

Xia Tang didn't use that much oil when she fried potatoes, but to make up for the taste, she added a little homemade pork to the soybean oil, which made it taste delicious.

When preparing the seasoning, she would add some local Houttuynia cordata, which has a bitter and spicy flavor and can well neutralize the greasiness of the potatoes. It tastes soft and refreshing, with a fresh taste and a fragrant aroma.

"How is it?"

Xia Tang brought a small bowl of fried potatoes to Qin Yue and watched him eat them with big mouthfuls.

“Mmm…delicious.”

Qin Yue was not picky about food and ate with great relish. The small mole on his face kept moving as he chewed, and he looked very hardworking.

He also knew that Xia Tang was waiting for his evaluation, so he raised his head and described it seriously.

“I think it tastes better than what others sell.”

“What’s so delicious about it?”

Xia Tang couldn't help but ask.

"It just makes you want to keep eating it. You can't stop."

Qin Yue said this seriously, as if he felt something happy. He couldn't help but smile, and his little face was deeply immersed in laughter.

“It tastes better than what I had when I was a kid.”

After Xia Tang moved away from the village, he once thought that no matter how good the food he ate in his life, it would never be as good as the fried potatoes he and she had eaten when they were children.

But now...he felt that he was wrong.

Everything is delicious if it is made by Xia Tang.

Xia Tang couldn't help but laugh.

She tilted her head and looked at Qin Yue, and suddenly couldn't help asking:

"Qin Yue, when I said I would quit my job to make snacks, did you still think I couldn't cook?"

"……ah."

Qin Yue looked at her, and his little breasts swelled up again.

“When you were a kid, you certainly couldn’t do it.”

"Then why didn't you stop me?"

Xia Tang asked again.

Qin Yue looked at her in surprise:

"Isn't this what you wanted to do?"

"Besides, I think you are so smart that you can learn anything."

He spoke so naturally, as if he was saying "good morning" or "good evening".

But is it really so natural?

Xia Tang doesn't think so.

Having experienced a suffocating marriage in her previous life, she knows better than anyone how precious this kind of love is.

It's not a restriction, it's not a clamp, and it's certainly not some "for your own good" mind control.

It is to give you the wilderness, and then wait for green onions to grow in the wilderness.

In addition to fried potatoes, she also made a small pot of rice noodles for lunch.

Hot pot rice noodles seem to be a better choice in this increasingly cool autumn.

The two of them devoured the meal from the small copper pot in no time and finished it all in no time.

Qin Yue finished eating first.

He put the small pot aside and watched Xia Tang still eating the rice noodles politely.

She had small pearly teeth. She put a bunch of white rice noodles between her lips and teeth and then bit them off gently.

Its movements are slow and leisurely, like some small rodent. Its gentle and careful gestures make it even more adorable.

Qin Yue was a little nervous, and his Adam's apple moved up and down twice:

"Xia Tang, our factory is going to get new machinery, and I've been selected to go to Guangzhou to learn how to use it. It will take about two weeks."

Xia Tang had actually heard him mention it a few times before, and knew that this transfer was a rare opportunity for Qin Yue.

So when I heard this, although I was reluctant, I nodded:

"Then...be careful when you go there, okay?"

Qin Yue nodded, his long neck drooped for a moment, and then raised his head again: "Xia Tang."

"ah?"

Xia Tang raised her head, but saw his pure black eyes looking up at her, his eyes seemed to be begging, but also seemed to be confirming.

"When I come back... I will report my marriage to the factory, and we will get married... ok?"

When he spoke, his voice was so nervous.

But those pure black eyes still tried hard to look at her.

Serious, pious.

It's like making the boldest wish before God, and then praying cautiously and boldly for it to come true.

It was clearly just a moment, but Qin Yue inexplicably felt that time had slowed down.

The surrounding sounds seemed to cease to exist.

It seemed as if the world no longer existed.

He waited in pure white silence for his fate to be announced.

Then he heard a voice that he would never forget:

"good."
