Jiang Bin watched as the people standing in front of him bought things in waves.
To be honest, these things are really delicious. He didn't eat the chicken necks, chicken feet, and braised eggs.
He took out his money from his pocket, intending to buy it from Cheng Xiao Kui, but he couldn't bring himself to hand over the money.
The younger kids were all better at squeezing through than him, and the older women, holding their children, also squeezed past him.
He had finally managed to squeeze to the front, but he was forced to the back.
When he finally managed to squeeze to the front, the hand holding the money instantly felt awkward.
Almost everything on the two folding tables is gone...
Cheng Xiao Kui looked at the man who was also wearing a leather jacket. "It's so strange today. Why do so many people like to wear leather jackets?"
Anyway, there's one thing she's sure of: people who can afford leather jackets and leather pants these days are no ordinary rich kids!
She said, "The fried chicken, racks and potato chips are all gone, all that's left is the braised egg. Why don't you try the braised egg?"
Our family's braised eggs are also delicious, 5 cents each, or two for ten cents!
Jiang Bin said helplessly, "Alright, just sell me whatever you have."
Cheng Xiaokui took a meat ladle and swished it around in the big pot, then scooped out two braised eggs and a chicken neck.
She said with a smile, "Two braised eggs are just a penny for you, and the chicken necks are free. You can have them for free. You waited so long and couldn't get what you wanted, so this is compensation."
Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Cheng Xiao Kui to give him a chicken neck directly.
Cheng Xiao Kui's eggs were skewered on bamboo sticks, and the chicken's neck was wrapped with a small piece of yellow straw paper.
She handed the eggs and chicken necks to Jiang Bin.
Jiang Bin ate a whole braised egg in one bite, and he had to say, the braised egg was even tastier than the meat.
As for the chicken neck, he glanced at it with disdain, but since he already had it, he reluctantly took a bite.
Although there wasn't much meat on the chicken neck, the taste of it instantly amazed him.
He clicked his tongue and said, "Your cooking is really delicious. It would be great if I had a beer! Could you buy me a beer?"
The little dumpling tilted its head and asked, "Uncle, if I buy you beer, can I have a piece of fruit candy?"
Jiang Bin reached out and patted Xiaolongbao's head. This kid must be the martyr's orphan that Lao Si raised. I didn't expect the child to have grown up so much.
He laughed and said, "Fruit candy won't do, I'll treat you to White Rabbit milk candy. Go buy your uncle a bottle of beer, and then you can buy a dime worth of White Rabbit milk candy!"
Xiaolongbao happily took the money, grabbed her little sister's hand, and ran to the cooperative to buy White Rabbit milk candy and beer.
One cent can buy six dollars' worth of White Rabbit milk candy, which is exactly three dollars each for him and his sister.
Cheng Xiao Kui directly refunded Jiang Bin the money he spent on the braised eggs.
She said, "The braised egg is on me!"
Jiang Bin asked in surprise, "Why?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "The children are still young. I don't want them to think that they can ask adults for money like this. This is a bad habit. They are not old enough to do business!"
Jiang Bin's gaze swept over Cheng Xiao Kui. The girl had a serene face and big eyes. To be honest, she was quite pretty, at least to his liking.
Moreover, the girl's philosophy on raising children is also correct; the child is still young, and it is indeed not the time to do business.
It's best to keep children away from money at this age.
He put the money back in his pocket and said, "Okay then, I'll bring you a gift next time."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "No need. It's just two hard-boiled eggs, nothing to my family."
Jiang Bin asked, "The food you sell is so delicious, it sold out in no time! You must make a lot of money every day!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "I helped my mother-in-law and my family become wealthy through my own hard work. That's not a mistake, is it?"
Jiang Bin quickly shook his head and said, "It's not a mistake, of course it's not a mistake. The documents have been issued now, encouraging people to apply for individual business licenses."
By the way, have you applied for a business license yet? You should probably get it done as soon as possible!
Cheng Xiaokui said, "I'm taking my brother to see a doctor tomorrow, and I'll go get the business license the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Bin said, "A good friend of mine works at the Industry and Commerce Bureau. His name is Du Ziqiang, and he's a leader there."
Go directly to him and tell him Jiang Bin sent you! He'll guarantee you get your sole proprietorship business license right away!
Cheng Xiao Kui never expected that her two hard-boiled eggs would lead to such a positive connection.
She said, "Okay, I'll go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to find your good buddy the day after tomorrow!"
Xiaolongbao ran back carrying a bottle of liquor, with six White Rabbit milk candies in his pocket.
He took out a White Rabbit milk candy and handed it to Cheng Xiao Kui, "Mom, have some White Rabbit milk candy, it's so fragrant and sweet!"
Cheng Xiao Kui took the White Rabbit milk candy and said with a smile, "Xiao Long Bao is great, you can even help Mom with chores now, but next time you're not allowed to let anyone else treat you to something!"
Mom paid back the money she used to buy White Rabbit milk candy to Uncle today!
Xiaolongbao looked at Cheng Xiaokui in surprise, never expecting that her clever trick had backfired and made her mother pay that one cent.
He pouted and said, "Why should I ask you to give him money? I'll just give the candy back to him! I'm not eating it!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "This candy is a gift from Mom. You've been helping Mom with chores these past few days, and you've done a great job! You and your sister have both worked so hard!"
She leaned close to Cheng Xiao Kui and gave her a sweet kiss. "Mom, you're so good. Please don't divorce Dad. Will you be my mom for the rest of your life?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I can still be your mother even if I divorce Dad! You can't say things like that when you see Dad. If Dad brings a new mother back from the army, you have to behave and listen to your new mother!"
Clearly, her words made Xiaolongbao and others unhappy.
Xiaolongbao was pulled into the courtyard, and Cheng Xiaokui was ignored.
Jiang Bin took a sip of beer and a bite of chicken neck, his brow furrowing into a knot.
Is this the kind of girl who can climb into a man's bed and unreasonably cling to him?
Is this girl trying to kill her mother-in-law? Why does she insist on performing surgery on her healthy mother-in-law?
He couldn't reconcile the image of the girl in front of him with that kind of vicious girl.
He clicked his tongue and said, "You and your man are divorced?"
Cheng Xiao Kui nodded and said, "Yes, we're divorced."
Jiang Bin said, "These days, it's very difficult for women to live after a divorce. The neighbors will gossip about you behind your back. Aren't you afraid?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I'll try my best to live up to any benefits. If we don't get along and he doesn't like me, I'll just divorce him."
I've lived with his family for so many years, and my mother-in-law has been so good to me. He has a girl he likes, so why should I tie him to my side and ruin both of our happiness?!
Jiang Bin stared intently at Cheng Xiao Kui. To be honest, he had seen too many women cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide when they got divorced, but he had never seen such a magnanimous woman.
Standing at the corner of the alley, Zhou Rongjun said, "Damn, this kid is staring at Cheng Xiaokui so much, his eyes are practically glued to her!"
