10 PM.
It was the busiest time for the nighttime snack business. Looking around, almost all the tables in the open space were full, and even Xiao Lin's food stall was packed with people. They couldn't even think about He Jing anymore.
The Zhu family was so busy that all the boys from the He family had to pitch in, leaving them no time to spare.
Zhu Qian ran halfway while crying, then inexplicably ran back, took a bunch of pictures of He Jing, and said sourly, "So what if she's good-looking? I can get plastic surgery too."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and started searching for the best cosmetic surgery hospitals in the city.
He Jing remained silent, stood up from her seat, and said calmly, "I'll step away for a moment."
Zhu Qian immediately became alert: "Where are you going?"
He Jing said, "I need to use the restroom."
Zhu Qian snorted: "Go ahead."
He Jing left without looking back.
A moment later, she disappeared into the crowd and could not be found. Zhu Qian then sat down in He Jing's seat and took a selfie with her phone.
...
He Jing bypassed Zhu Qian's sight and went to Xiao Lin's food stall as agreed yesterday. She checked the time and found that she was a little later than the agreed time.
When they arrived at Xiao Lin's food stall, Xiao Lin was busy and had no time to pay attention to her, or rather, he was deliberately ignoring her. He Jing said, "I brought the secret recipe. Do you want to see it?"
Xiaolin then turned around, looked at her suspiciously, and then at the thing in her hand.
He hesitated for a few seconds, then took the things from He Jing's hands, opening them while muttering, "Let me make this clear first, if any problems arise, I'll come to you. If it's useless, you'll have to compensate me for the money I lost tonight. If..."
If you dare to poison me, I'll call the police.
Before he could finish speaking, an extremely rich fragrance wafted over, like a spicy yet sweet delicacy gently kissing him. In just one kiss, he was so intoxicated that he didn't want to wake up.
It took him quite a while to calm down before he said, "It smells so good. Will the aroma dissipate if I pour hot oil over it later?"
He Jing said, "No, it will emit twice the fragrance."
Xiaolin couldn't believe it. He was content as long as the fragrance didn't dissipate; he certainly didn't dare to hope for double.
Then, He Jing explained how to use it as a dipping sauce. In addition to hot oil, you also need to add cumin and Sichuan peppercorn powder, which are commonly used in barbecue, in order to bring out its full charm.
Xiao Lin's food stall didn't have any Sichuan peppercorn powder, so Xiao Lin quickly asked someone to buy some.
He Jing said, "I'm leaving now. I wish you great success in your business."
Xiaolin was completely immersed in joy and didn't pay attention to what He Jing was saying. He Jing left on her own.
Five minutes later, He Jing reappeared at Zhu's snack stall, the process so brief that no one noticed.
Zhu Qian pouted and took more than a dozen photos. She was so happy that she forgot her head and held her phone up to He Jing to show her, asking, "Which one do you think is the best?"
He Jing pointed to the one with the most natural expression and said, "This one."
Zhu Qian was overjoyed and felt a surge of happiness, but then she remembered her disagreement with He Jing. Her face immediately turned cold, and she sneered, "The He family is so poor, you probably can't even afford a cell phone, you poor wretch."
He Jing: "..."
These days, young girls' faces can change in an instant.
Seeing that He Jing did not answer, Zhu Qian continued to mock her in a bad manner: "Did you hear what I said in the living room this morning? Your He family lives off the Zhu family, so you have to be obedient. If I tell you to go east, don't go west; if I tell you to go south, don't even think about going north. Only when I'm happy will your life be a little better."
