The next day, Li Cheng arranged breakfast for Weng Shirui at a breakfast shop in a downtown area.
The sanitary conditions here are not very good, but there are a lot of people waiting in line at the door for breakfast. Before 7 o'clock, there is already a long line here.
It is still the morning market here. It is bustling with people and shouts are heard everywhere. The air is filled with the hustle and bustle of the city.
Li Cheng looked at the people queuing up and said with a smile, "Xiaozhu, do you still remember this place?"
How could Weng Xiaozhu forget this place? When Li Cheng brought her here for breakfast for the first time, she disliked the place being unhygienic and refused to eat.
Finally, Li Cheng managed to get her to try the breakfast here, and since then, Weng Xiaozhu has often come here for breakfast.
Unfortunately, the business here became better and better, and every time I came here I had to wait in line for a long time, so Weng Xiaozhu never came again.
However, Li Cheng would buy breakfast for her from here from time to time and have someone deliver it to her.
Weng Xiaozhu took Weng Shirui's hand and said happily, "Brother, you must try this. I guarantee you've never eaten it before..."
Weng Shirui looked at Li Cheng and pointed at the people in line, meaning, do they just have to wait in line like this?
Li Cheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Weng is a distinguished guest, how can I let you wait in line!"
Weng Xiaozhu guessed that Li Cheng must have sent someone to buy it in advance, so he looked around to decide where to eat.
Li Cheng pointed to the low table outside the breakfast shop and said, "Just sit there. The delicious food and drinks will be here soon."
Weng Xiaozhu pulled her brother to sit down, while Li Cheng went into the breakfast shop...
After a while, Li Cheng came back with only a few pairs of chopsticks.
Weng Xiaozhu stared at him and asked, "Where's the delicious food?"
Li Cheng placed the chopsticks in front of them and said with a smile, "It will be here soon."
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a waiter-like man came with a tray...
Weng Shirui saw that the food on the plate was also very ordinary. Although he had never seen it before, he had seen something similar to this one. So he asked, "Is this a sesame pancake?"
Li Cheng shook his head, picked up one and placed it in front of him, saying, "Eat it first, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Weng Shirui picked up the pancake-like thing, looked at it carefully, and then took a bite...
"Ouch!" Weng Shirui was burned, and Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu laughed consciencelessly...
The first thing you eat must be hot, this is an unspoken prank between Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu.
Weng Shirui looked at them with disgust. Li Cheng quickly tore off a napkin and handed it to him, saying, "Don't you want to know what this thing is called? It's called Huoshao, also called Ouch."
Weng Shirui was even more confused, wondering what kind of name this was.
Li Cheng began to demonstrate to him the correct way to eat it. First, he bit a small hole in the steamed bun to let out the air. After the hot steam came out, he pinched the bun hard from both sides. The two sides of the bun separated like a mouth, revealing the meat filling and soup inside.
At this time, an even stronger aroma emerged, which made people want to eat a lot after smelling it.
Weng Shirui did as he was told and after taking a few bites, he started eating like crazy.
After eating three fire cakes in a row, Weng Xiaozhu asked Li Cheng, "Where is your man? Why can't I see him?"
Li Cheng asked, "Who? Who do you want to see?"
"The one who bought the fire for you!"
"No one, I bought this fire myself."
Both of them looked at him, then at the long line.
Li Cheng slurred his words as he ate: "I didn't queue. I never queue when I come here to eat."
Hearing Li Cheng's shameless words, Weng Xiaozhu sarcastically said, "Is it because you are Li Cheng?"
Li Cheng nodded and said seriously, "Yes, because I am Li Cheng."
Weng Xiaozhu rolled her eyes at him and continued eating her fire-baked bread.
Li Cheng was afraid that they would misunderstand him, so he swallowed the fire in his mouth, drank a mouthful of sticky porridge and said, "Xiaozhu, do you still remember Lao Li?"
Weng Xiaozhu thought for a moment, then suddenly pointed at the shop and said, "Old Li? The Old Li who wanted to drive a taxi but failed the driving test three times in a row?"
Li Cheng nodded and thought to himself that you guys had given Lao Li a nickname, calling him Li Yijiao, which meant that Lao Li was nervous when driving and would slam on the brakes no matter what kind of danger he encountered.
Weng Xiaozhu added, "I was wondering, when I came here to eat before, I saw that the owner looked familiar, but I didn't expect it to be him."
Li Cheng said, "It was him. You two were learning to drive together. You passed the test, but he failed twice."
"Oh, I remember now. Old Li went to Principal Han through the back door and finally got a driver's license, but you tore it up."
"Yes, that Old Li. Later, I realized he really didn't have the talent to drive, so I refunded his tuition and asked him what he wanted to do."
When Weng Shirui heard this, he pointed at the fire shop and said, "He likes doing this business."
Li Cheng nodded and said, "Yes. Actually, he used to work in this business, but his skills were so poor that he could only break even."
"But this place is like this now. Could it be that you helped him?"
"I helped him. I found a man who had retired from the industry due to old age. I gave him some money and asked him to teach me the craft. I also transferred his secret recipe to Lao Li."
Weng Xiaozhu and Weng Shirui both laughed, thinking that Li Cheng did a good job. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish. He helped Old Li find a way to survive.
