Chapter 403 Can you also be my aunt?
Of course Shen Qing wants to see it!
Although there are no vacant shops on the two streets that I like the most, as long as the shop is good and big enough, it is not impossible to settle for second best.
If Wang Yi's shop was too remote, too shabby, and too small, it would be a wasted trip and she would not lose anything.
The two parties agreed to go and see it the next day.
But near morning, it started to rain heavily, so heavily that a white mist rose.
Not only did they fail to see the shop, but even Ling Yi and his group, who had originally planned to leave early, had to continue staying there.
Fortunately, Shen Qing and the others had escaped before, so they didn’t care about anything else except enough food!
Whether it is for humans or animals, there are enough of them, not to mention Ling Yi and seven other people. Even if the number is multiplied several times, ten days or half a month will not be a problem.
"Don't worry, we have made a lot of lard, and there will be plenty of lard residue!" Liu Cuihua was afraid that Yingyi and the others would worry about their food, so she comforted them happily.
Feng Meng fished some snow mustard greens out of a rough earthenware jar and agreed without even looking up, "Following my aunt and my wife, even vegetables can be stir-fried with animal oil. Isn't that super lucky?"
Ying Yi and the other six didn't dare to say a word and turned their heads to look at their master.
In fact, they feel very happy, but not because they have plenty of lard and can fry vegetarian dishes with animal oil, but because they feel comfortable here. Of course, it has to be said that they have good cooking skills and can make simple food very delicious.
Ling Yi raised his lips in a rare, barely perceptible arc, and whispered in agreement: "Yeah, very happy."
Yingyi and the other six were stunned, then said happily, "Yes, we are so happy! It's great to meet you!"
"The food is good, the accommodation is good, and I can chat with you all. I don't want to go back to Blackwater City anymore."
"Not just Blackwater City, I don't want to go anywhere!"
Shen Qing: .....You're praising me too much.
She joked, "We'll get proud if you praise us too much. Okay, okay, I know you think we're good. For lunch, I'll make you some hand-rolled noodles with pickled mustard greens and lard residue, and give each of us a fried egg. Is that worthy of your praise?"
Yingyi and the other six were just about to explain that they were not exaggerating, but stating the truth.
Then, Feng Meng, Zhao Hu, Lei Ergui, and other men who were originally assigned tasks suddenly stopped what they were doing, their eyes sparkling as they shouted one after another: "Auntie, I think your cooking is the best in the world! Do I deserve a fried egg?"
"I haven't eaten anything this delicious in the past twenty years combined! Do I deserve one?"
"Aunt, I think you do better than my aunt, mother, and aunt put together! For my sincerity, please give me one too!"
As soon as Lei Ergui finished speaking, Liu Cuihua knocked the spatula in her hand down and cursed, "What are you talking about, you little bastard? Isn't your aunt the same as me?
Fine, fine, I can go against my conscience for a mere egg."
Lei Ergui jumped over nimbly and said stubbornly, "Although you are my aunt, I can't say such nonsense against my conscience. It is true that my aunt's cooking is more delicious. You have to accept the reality!"
After saying this, she did not forget to ask Shen Qing for credit, crying and begging: "Auntie, since I am so sincere, can you add one more?"
Liu Cuihua spoke first, "You wish! You even want to eat fried eggs? There's not even a rotten egg! Just wait, when you get back, tell your mother and aunt, and let them give you a lesson!"
Zhao Hu took advantage of the situation and asked, "Can you give me the one from Ergui?"
Lei Ergui immediately started yelling, "Great, Brother Huzi, you always seem to be the most honest person, but I didn't expect you to be waiting here!
You revealed your true colors just for an egg! So, are you still brothers?"
"What brother? I don't know~"
"Auntie, give it to me and I will hold Ergui down for you!" A man who wanted to watch the fun suggested.
"I can do that too. If you don't share, you can just add some more lard to my egg."
"I don't like eating eggs, but I'm too kind-hearted, so I wanted to help a bunch of people, so I'll do my part."
.....
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Shen Qing stood behind the stove, watching the fun happily.
Then he waved to Ling Yi and the others, "Young Master Wang, come here quickly. This place is small, be careful not to bump into you!"
Ying Yi and the others had already protected Ling Yi in the back, so his safety was not a problem, but Ling Yi still walked towards Shen Qing.
He asked, “…Mrs. Shen, don’t you care?”
Shen Qing shook his head happily, and asked with a bright smile: "Why should I care?"
Then he thought that although Prince Wang was a businessman, he must have been rich for several generations - his demeanor could not be deceived, and he must have never seen such a vulgar and direct person who threw a tantrum and made trouble, so he probably couldn't adapt to it for a while.
She explained: "It's okay, they often do this kind of dog-eat-dog thing, and the villagers love to see it.
It won't be a problem. They know what's at stake. They're just kids having fun."
The oldest of this group of people is only eighteen or nineteen years old, which is still a youth in China. They are at the age of boiling blood and high spirits, so they love to make trouble.
Ling Yi was stunned.
He looked at Feng Meng, Zhao Hu, and the others in the crowd. They must be eighteen or nineteen years old, right? Are they still children? Are they old enough to play around?
He raised his eyes and looked at Ying Yi and others in front of him.
They are not as old as Feng Meng, Zhao Hu and others, but not only can they not play around, they also have to be ready to stand in front of others and sacrifice their lives at any time.
They were no longer children a long time ago, and they didn't even remember being treated like children.
As for himself, he had been asked to be obedient, sensible, quiet and not noisy since he could remember, and when he was a little older, he was asked to excel in his studies;
Later, his mentor who taught him how to march and fight got into trouble and was sentenced to exile. The border was short of generals, so he put on his armor and went into the battlefield again. He went through wind and snow, and he could not be timid in the battle, and he could not even complain.
He cannot relax, cannot think for himself, and can only act as the sharpest knife.
He has a father, but he has never felt his father's love.
He whispered, “Although you are not their mother, Madam Shen, you are really tolerant of them.”
Shen Qing waved her hand nonchalantly: "What's there to be tolerant of? If they dare to break things in the kitchen, they won't even be able to eat a single poached egg later!"
The smile on Ling Yi's lips widened a little.
If they broke something, they were only punished by not being able to eat fried eggs, and it seemed that we had planned to let them eat eggs in the first place.
If this wasn't tolerance, what was it? He wished his father could treat him like this, even just once.
Then he shook his head. It’s not that his father is not tolerant of his children, or even indulges them, it’s just that that person is not him.
Even parents of ordinary people can be partial to one child, let alone an emperor who is high above everyone else and has many children.
He had already understood the truth, so why did he develop such unrealistic fantasies?
The thing you can’t expect from others is that he will need it again after he gets older!
He looked at the woman beside him who was watching the fun but frowned with worry from time to time, and said softly: "Aunt Shen..., can you be my aunt too?"
