Just like yesterday at noon, Ye Zhongnan cooked two bowls of noodles at the entrance of Yongfang Mahjong Parlor.
The level of popularity today is even greater than yesterday.
Even Dong Pingping came out to eat noodles.
Everyone recognized him; wasn't this the consumptive man who fainted in front of the tricycle yesterday while trying to buy porridge?
You look much lighter today.
After eating her noodles, Dong Pingping didn't rush back. Instead, she sat at the entrance of the mahjong parlor, observing how many people had come to eat noodles that day.
She saw many unfamiliar faces, and quietly went over to ask them, only to find out that these people were just passing by.
Chinese people love seeing others queuing up and grabbing food, which piques their curiosity, and they will join in the queue to watch the fun.
They never expected the noodles to be so delicious; they said they had never eaten noodles in their lives.
A bowl costs 30 yuan, which is affordable.
Dong Pingping also observed that the nearby snack shops and Chinese restaurants were not doing very well.
It seems that most customers were attracted by Mr. Ye's noodle-cooking tricycle.
Dong Pingping had a general idea of how many customers there were.
She also remembered the venomous looks from the Chinese restaurant owners and their workers.
She waited for Ye Zhongnan to finish his business so they could go back together.
In the courtyard, Dong Pingping took her laptop from home and made a financial statement based on Ye Zhongnan's income and expenses over the past two days.
Ye Zhongnan's talent lies only in cooking; he doesn't care about other things like math and accounting.
He was very impressed with the financial statements that Dong Pingping had prepared.
Dong Pingping chuckled, "As long as I can eat Chef Ye's delicious food every day, it's all worth it for me to put in so much effort."
Xiaoxi arrived early after school.
She wanted to know how her second brother was doing today.
Dong Pingping recounted what she had seen and heard, and even specifically mentioned the strange expressions of the shop owners next door.
Xiaoxi became wary.
Since that's the case, then I'll stay at my second brother's place tonight.
Because she had a strong feeling that something would happen tonight.
"Pingping, do you want to watch the drama unfold tonight?"
Dong Pingping had finally regained some energy these past two days, and of course she didn't want to miss out on this good opportunity to watch the drama unfold.
"Wow, Xiaoxi, I can't wait!"
Ye Zhongnan didn't understand what Xiaoxi and the others meant, so he went to watch TV.
With everything changing rapidly and information overload, he needs to catch up on a lot of things.
Xiaoxi and Dong Pingping chatted until after 9 p.m., and she was getting a little sleepy as everything around them had become quiet.
Guangdajie is an old neighborhood, and people there tend to go to bed early.
For some, 9:00 p.m. is when the nightlife truly begins.
After waiting for another half hour, Xiaoxi was getting a little impatient.
Suddenly, she and Dong Pingping both heard a noise in the yard.
Xiaoxi whispered, "They're here!"
She then remembered the scene from a short while ago, which might have been a bit frightening, so she handed Dong Pingping a calming talisman and rubbed it on her eyes twice.
After Xiaoxi finished all the preparations, she saw several dark figures climbing over the wall and entering.
The burly men were conspicuous because of their imposing stature and the iron bars they were carrying.
They were so arrogant that they didn't even need to cover their faces. Xiao Xi and Dong Pingping, with their cat-like eyes in the darkness, could see their features clearly.
One of the men had a buzz cut and looked like the leader.
