The braised food shop has never been doing so well. Ever since Chen Dong arrived, customers have been lining up at the door every day.
Many young girls didn't even bring their own containers for the braising liquid, but asked Chen Dong for some.
"Handsome young man, I forgot to bring my bottle. I finally got to the front of the line, what should I do?" the girl asked shyly, while several other girls around her egged her on.
"I forgot to bring it too! Me too, me too!"
"Could you set aside a separate copy for me? I'll come back to pick it up this afternoon, okay?"
As soon as he said that, the people in line burst into laughter. "You little rascal, you're so cunning!"
"Hey handsome! Don't pay any attention to her, she's just trying to pick you up!"
“…I’ll find you a bag to put it in,” Chen Dong said somewhat shyly.
“Young man, judging from your accent, you don’t seem to be from around here,” a bolder girl approached him and asked, “Where are you from?”
Chen Dong shook his head and asked her, "How many kilograms of brine do you want?"
The young girl said in a soft, affected tone, "You decide for yourself how to hit it."
Chen Dong sighed and silently served her half a pound of braising liquid. He had been helping out at the braising liquid shop for the past few days and had gotten used to this kind of situation.
At first, he felt annoyed, but later he found that his influence among the girls could help Afang sell the braising liquid faster, making things easier for her and her daughter. So Chen Dong no longer felt wronged.
"Alright, alright! Do you still want the braising liquid?" Afang came over to help Chen Dong out of the predicament.
"It seems everyone really enjoys our braised dishes. Now, as the shop owner, I will personally serve you all!"
After the first few girls finished getting their brine, seeing that Chen Dong didn't want to talk to them, they had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman lined up, handed the jar in her hand to Chen Dong, and said with a smile, "Give me a pound of brine."
The aunt turned to look at Afang, who was busy beside her, and jokingly said, "Afang! Is this your boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Afang looked up in surprise, "Aunt Zhong, you mustn't be talking nonsense."
"He... just came to help out."
Aunt Zhong continued to egg you on, regardless of the consequences, "I was just wondering why you didn't like any of the men I introduced you to. Turns out there's someone even better waiting here."
Seeing that Afang was about to retort, Aunt Zhong quickly added, "You don't need to argue with me, just hurry up and win over this handsome young man."
She lowered her voice and whispered, "Your and your mother's braised food shop will have a place to go from now on."
Seeing that Afang blushed, Chen Dong chuckled softly and remained silent.
Afang is good-looking, efficient, and kind-hearted. Although she is not a stunning beauty, she is a good woman.
He remembered all the kindness Afang had shown him these past few days. He thought that if he could remember who he was and who his family was in the future, he would take her back to meet his parents.
