Chapter 62: Lao Liu Stands Up



"If you really follow me, I won't let you drink anything I have, but if you have second thoughts, I will be more cruel to you than anyone else."

Ye Jin also knew that he was weak and it was time to expand his strength.

"Don't worry, Sister Jin, as long as you don't despise me, I can do anything you ask me to do in the future!"

The light in Hua Jian's eyes was as bright as two small light bulbs. Ye Jin believed that people with such passionate and pure eyes would not have bad character.

When the two returned to the glass factory, they saw the little yellow-haired boy shouting hard. A small white porcelain bowl was placed among a pile of carrots. The bowl was empty, with some light orange juice remaining at the bottom.

Ye Jin took a radish without moving and carefully cut it into small pieces. Hua Jian came to his senses and took the small bowl and took the initiative to step forward to let the onlookers taste it.

"Fruit carrots don't have any spicy taste, they're sweet and crispy, and they can supplement iron and protect your eyes..."

These words were taught by Ye Jin, and Hua Jian followed suit. He had a handsome face to begin with, and with his clear voice, he had lost his ruffian air and was quite likable.

There are both men and women working in the glass factory, and with the mentality of taking advantage, everyone is willing to try something that is free.

But the taste of this carrot is so unique. It has a strong carrot flavor, but the taste is very refreshing. Even some people who don’t like carrots think it’s good after trying it.

Some people even began to doubt themselves. Did they have some misunderstanding about carrots before, or are these carrots really different?

In any case, many people are willing to try it. After all, as Hua Jian introduced, eating carrots has many benefits. Although it is expensive at two yuan per pound, this carrot is unique.

Some old customers who had bought things from us before heard the news and came to our store. The carrots that were originally unsaleable were quickly sold out thanks to everyone’s concerted efforts.

Everyone looked at the empty cart and felt relieved.

Hua Jian took the initiative to pull the empty cart, and the others followed and pushed the cart with happy faces.

They will get a lot of benefits every time they sell something. Although the varieties are different, they have to think of ways to promote them when they first sell them, but once they are sold, the sales will be tight.

As soon as they returned to the yard, the two hip-hop generals also came back with their men.

"Sister Jin, the money is all here, just click on it."

Ye Jin counted the money carefully this time. It was 1,000 yuan, not a penny less, and one yuan more than yesterday.

Ye Jin took out ten yuan and gave it to Hua Jian: "Everyone has worked hard today, take them out for a good meal, it's my treat."

Ever since Hua Jian recognized Ye Jin, Ye Jin no longer treated him as an outsider, and let him take full responsibility for things like organizing activities.

"Yes, thank you Sister Jin for your trust."

Hua Jian didn't say a word. He took the lead and walked in front, and the others followed consciously.

Originally, this group of people was led by Little Yellow Hair, but after this incident, Hua Jian's temperament changed drastically, and he seemed to be a leader.

Only after the group of people walked away did Gu Yan quietly walk behind Ye Jin.

"Don't look anymore. Everyone has gone far away. They went to have lunch. Shouldn't we go get something to eat too?"

Ye Jin nodded slightly. When Xiaohuo, who had been playing on the beam, heard that his master was leaving, he quickly jumped down from the roof and naturally climbed onto her shoulders and stood there.

"Your squirrel seems very insecure?"

Gu Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiaohuo's anxious movements. This squirrel was smarter than he thought.

It's interesting that he can not only understand what people say, but also analyze the meaning.

"It's just afraid that I don't want it anymore." Ye Jin reached out and touched Xiaohuo's furry little head. The little guy squinted his eyes and gently rubbed Ye Jin's cheek with his nose.

"Let's go and get something to eat."

Ye Jin took the lead and walked forward, and Gu Yan closed the door casually.

The two of them didn't have any specific place to go, and before they knew it, they arrived at the door of the noodle shop they had been to last time.

“Here we are again.”

Ye Jin laughed, and Gu Yan led her inside.

"Boss, two bowls of oil-splashed noodles, one with less chili and one with more, both with chopped green onions."

Gu Yan casually ordered two bowls of noodles, but he wrote down all of Ye Jin's requirements for noodles.

"I want to try something else."

Ye Jin saw someone eating pancakes at the next table and thought they tasted strange and delicious, so she wanted to try it.

"Boss, a bowl of spicy soup, two beef patties, and a bowl of crispy pork. These are the specialties of the restaurant. You should try them."

The boss and his wife are both craftsmen. One is good at cooking noodles, and the other is good at making cakes and snacks.

Therefore, it is not entirely true to call this store a noodle shop, as it actually has many special northern snacks.

In the south, especially in the 1980s when the economy was still underdeveloped, few people from the north came to the south to make snacks.

Although we don’t know why they left their hometown and came here, there must be a story.

The reason why this family has such a good business is, firstly, because the portions are generous, and secondly, because the taste is really good, and there are so many varieties that it is not easy to get tired of it.

Many people who work hard in the town just want to drink a bowl of hot soup and eat a full meal in winter.

It doesn’t matter whether this bowl of rice is rice or noodles, as long as it is hot and filling.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to finish this much order, right?"

Ye Jin originally just wanted to try the beef patties, but she didn't expect Gu Yan to order so many at once. Ye Jin is a frugal person and doesn't want to waste so much.

"If you can't finish it, take it back to grandma. It's a good opportunity for her to try it. This pancake won't taste good if it gets cold. Go back and fry it in a hot pan. It will be as crispy as it is now. And the same goes for the crispy pork."

Gu Yan gave careful instructions, and Ye Jin suddenly felt warm in her heart.

Gu Yan is tall and strong, and looks like a rough man at first glance. It is also amazing that he is so meticulous and has thought of everything for himself.

"Well, I'll do as you say."

Gu Yan listened to these gentle words, his thick black eyebrows raised slightly, and his heart felt inexplicably warm.

Two bowls of oil-splashed noodles were served on the table, and the aroma filled the air. Ye Jin was the first to grab the chopsticks and put a full handful of noodles into her mouth.

After a tiring morning, having a bite of hot food not only warms up your body, but also your heart.

"tasty."

Ye Jin seemed to be more generous when eating noodles than last time. It seemed that he had let down his guard and showed his truest side.

As usual, Ye Jin only ate half a bowl of noodles before stopping. She picked up a piece of crispy meat, dipped it in the spicy soup, and then put it into her mouth.

It was her first time to drink Hu La Tang. It tasted a bit strangely sour and sweet, and was sticky and thick, like soup but not like soup. Although the taste was unfamiliar, it didn't feel unpalatable.

Gu Yan naturally took Ye Jin's bowl of noodles and stacked it on his own bowl, which he had already finished. He lowered his head and ate faster, but the half of his face hidden in the bowl of noodles still turned red unconsciously to the back of his ears.
