Five minutes later, a group of people gathered at the entrance of the market; they had all come from elsewhere.
Zhang Lanlan and her friends, who had just finished shopping at the market, happened to witness this scene.
"Wow, why are there so many people at that little girl's stall all of a sudden?"
"Yes, what happened? So many people have come, has something happened?"
"Go over there quickly and see if there's anything wrong with the food. If there is, you can return it. Don't waste your money." One of the aunties pulled Zhang Lanlan over.
However, upon closer inspection...
The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.
Why does it seem like everyone is scrambling to buy braised food?
"Boss Shi, what are you doing at this market? It's been hard to find."
"I left home at 5 a.m. and looked for several places but couldn't find you. I never expected you to be here. You know, my home is nearby. I feel like I missed out on a fortune."
"Boss Shi, I'd like four servings of braised dishes."
"I only need two portions. I live alone, so I can't finish them all if I buy too many. I'll just satisfy my craving."
Aunt Bai, who was holding Zhang Lanlan's hand, looked and realized that the person in front of her who wanted four portions was none other than her own son.
"Hey kid, what are you doing here?"
"Mom? What are you doing here?"
Aunt Bai rolled her eyes at him. "I came out to buy groceries. What about you? Didn't you just get off work? Why are you back so fast?"
They even made a special trip here to buy braised food.
"Yes, I just got off work. I heard that the boss was here, so I rushed over."
"Boss Shi?"
"Yes, this is Boss Shi, whom I often tell you about. The little cake my nephew ate last time was bought from her, as was the boxed lunch from the time before last."
"Huh?" Aunt Bai was genuinely surprised this time.
The person in front of her was actually the owner she had always praised. She had told her son to buy more food because she thought the food was delicious.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Just now, she was talking about adding technology at her stall.
That was really wrong.
"Sister Bai, do you know this girl who sells braised food?" Aunt Jiang asked her.
Sister Bai's attitude was completely different from before; she seemed like a different person.
"Yes, this young lady is really popular lately. Everything she sells tastes delicious and she's very popular among young people. Of course, I like her too. I've tried her food before, and it's really delicious."
Her gaze shifted to the braised food Zhang Lanlan was carrying, and she said, "This braised food looks pretty good to me."
"Xiao Fang, you bought too much, didn't you?" Aunt Jiang looked at Fang Zhibin's hands; he had bought four portions.
"Haha, it's alright. My whole family loves the food this owner sells. I'll send a couple of portions over to his sister later so my grandson can try them," Sister Bai answered for her son.
Aunt Jiang: "Alright, you guys try it for me tonight. If it's good, I'll come back to buy some tomorrow."
It's too late to buy now; the queue is already incredibly long, and she still has to go home and cook.
Honestly, I should have just bought one with Sister Zhang.
The smell is so enticing, it makes me want to eat it more and more.
It's strange that I've never been this cravingy at this age.
Zhang Lanlan was then glad that she had bought one earlier, otherwise it would have been difficult to get one.
Seeing that Xiao Fang was carrying four portions, I suddenly felt that my portion was a bit too small.
It seems like there isn't enough food.
I'll buy more next time.
When Zhang Lanlan got home, she bumped into her son and daughter who were about to leave.
"Didn't you just get off work? Where are you two going?"
"Let's go buy some braised food."
The two hurried away without looking back.
