Chapter 27 Delicious Meat-Filled Pancakes
When Fan asked about this, Fan Xiaoxiao winked at her and smiled, "Didn't you see Uncle Wang go to buy baskets today? Don't worry."
Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon receiving this reply, but then, as if remembering something, his expression tensed up again: "Do you think we won't be discovered doing this?"
Aunt Wang laughed heartily, put down her large ladle, and patted Fan's hand, saying, "Oh dear, Little Bao's mother, you worry too much. Don't worry, my old man is very meticulous. Everything will be fine!"
"Yes, Mother! You must believe in Grandpa!"
With everyone's encouragement, Madam Fan finally relaxed and got back to work. Aunt Wang watched her retreating figure and sighed, "Oh, girl, your older sister is good in every way. She's just a little too hesitant when things happen. We've known each other for so long, and I know you're a decisive child. If anything happens, you should shoulder more responsibility."
Following Aunt Wang's gaze, Fan Xiaoxiao glanced at Fan Shi, who was busy at work. It seemed a customer was asking her a question, and Fan Shi was blushing and stammering as she answered. Fan Xiaoxiao looked away, then smiled at the bubbling stew in the pot, saying, "Auntie, my sister is doing well. She's shy and not really suited for this kind of work at the docks, but she doesn't say anything. She's just trying very hard to learn how to communicate with people. We need to give her time."
Hearing this, Aunt Wang felt a wave of warmth wash over her. Knowing that the two sisters were considerate and supportive of each other, her worries vanished.
A morning passed, and Fan Xiaoxiao and her group had done most of their business. The guard who had bought the meat-filled sesame flatbread yesterday wandered over to their stall again. The flatbread he bought yesterday was really delicious; it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The filling was soaked in the fat and gravy of the meat, and each bite had a slightly spicy kick. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.
"Hey boss! Give me two of those meat-filled sesame cakes."
Fan Xiaoxiao responded and, looking at the somewhat familiar face in front of her, couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Sir, you're here today too. Would you like more or less chili for this pancake?"
When the guard saw that Fan Xiaoxiao recognized him, he was slightly taken aback and said, "You, you recognize me?"
"Aren't you the first customer who came to patronize our business yesterday? Thank you for your patronage, I'll add an extra spoonful of meat broth to your flatbread. More chili or less?"
The guard inwardly regretted his actions. If only he had known this young lady had such a bad memory, he would have come with a different face today. Seeing that Fan Xiaoxiao was still holding her knife and waiting for his reply, he quickly said, "One more than one is normal, right?"
"Okay!"
After saying that, Fan Xiaoxiao quickly wrapped up two sesame cakes for the shadow guard. This time, the shadow guard didn't dare to linger. After paying, he didn't dare to talk to Fan Xiaoxiao anymore and ran away in a flash.
This left Fan Xiaoxiao and the others dumbfounded. Xiao Bao kept exclaiming from the side, "Wow! This big brother! He runs so fast!"
The elusive guard, having finally made it across two streets, reached a quiet alley and patted his chest, muttering to himself, "Damn, I'd better change my face next time. If he notices anything, the master will definitely beat me!"
"Yes, I will hit you."
"Yes!!!! My lord!!!"
