"Is this soup made from fish bones?" Song Yuehua asked.
Ah Xing smiled and replied, "Yes, the fish is killed this morning, the meatballs are freshly pounded, and the soup is made by us early in the morning to ensure it is fresh."
Song Yuehua ate with a big appetite. After finishing two bowls, she ordered two more.
"It's rare to find girls with such a good appetite like you nowadays." Ah Xing brought the bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua took the noodles, picked up a fish ball and put it into her mouth.
She hadn't eaten fish since she came out of the dark pool with Yan Fengjian. She thought she would never eat fish again in her life, but she didn't expect that not long after, she was eating fish again.
"Can I cook two bowls of fish balls separately?" Song Yuehua asked.
Ah Xing smiled and said, "Of course, but can you eat it?"
"Go ahead."
There were not many people eating noodles at this time, so Ah Xing simply sat with Song Yuehua and talked to her. When she learned that she was looking for a pastry shop, she recommended the Ma family shop in the East Market.
"Their food is not expensive and tastes great, but the owner doesn't speak human language..." Ah Xing said.
Song Yuehua: "..." Can't you speak human language?
Suddenly Xiao Tao ran over and whispered urgently, "Sister Xing, hurry up, Chen Ganzi is here!"
Ah Xing's face changed and she immediately hid under the stall.
Song Yuehua still had a fish ball in her mouth. She chewed it while looking in the direction where Xiaotao was running.
I saw a slender man in silk clothes, surrounded by several people, waving a folding fan and looking at both sides of the street with a listless expression.
"Master Chen Liu, I think the young lady eating noodles is pretty, what do you think?"
Someone nearby spoke, and Mr. Chen Liu also looked over, seeing Song Yuehua with two fish balls stuffed in her mouth.
Master Chen Liu knocked on the man who was talking and cursed, "I'm looking for a bed warmer, not a housekeeper. I can eat six bowls of breakfast. Who can afford it?"
The man kept responding, "Master Chen is right. That girl has a lame leg. She is definitely not worthy of Master Chen."
Song Yuehua, "..."
After those people left, Xiao Tao pulled Ah Xing out and said, "Sister Ah Xing, don't come here again next time. If Chen Ganzi takes a fancy to you, you're doomed!"
The old woman at the side also said, "A Xing, you have to listen to Xiao Tao this time."
"Okay, okay!" Ah Xing smiled and patted the stove ash on her head.
The old woman looked at Ah Xing's dusty dress, which could not hide her beauty after all. "It doesn't matter if it gets a little dirty. At least it's safe enough."
Song Yuehua was curious about the background of this man named Chen Ganzi.
The streets were in a panic for a while, and no one stopped to eat noodles. Ah Xing simply huddled in a corner to talk to her.
It turned out that this Chen Ganzi was a distant relative of the prefect. His original surname was not Chen, but later he changed it to Chen. Because of his thin figure, the people nearby privately called him Chen Ganzi.
Chen Ganzi is not a good name, mainly because this person does not do good things. Not only does he bully others, he is also extremely lustful.
If a family has a pretty girl, he will certainly use all means of coercion and bribery to make her his concubine. If it were just that, it would still be tolerable, but if he dislikes her, he will sell her out immediately.
After Song Yuehua finished two bowls of fish balls, she wiped her mouth and asked, "Doesn't the prefect care?"
"well……"
Ah Xing sighed heavily and said, "This Prefect Chen is not a good guy either. There are people below who are blocking us. If we really get in front of the Prefect, the matter will be reduced to a small one and the prefect will not care. Instead, the person who filed the complaint will suffer..."
At this point, Song Yuehua finally understood. She would have to remind Xiaoyu when she gets back that she should avoid this group of people when she goes out on weekdays.
After eating the fish balls, Song Yuehua paid the bill and then slowly walked with the help of her crutches to the East Market to find the Ma family shop.
Song Yuehua was dazzled by the various kinds of pastries and didn't know which one to buy.
"Boss, do you have any food to sample?" Song Yuehua wanted to try something.
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids, sneered, and laughed sarcastically.
"Hey, what do you mean!" Song Yuehua was about to explode.
The waiter at the side came over quickly and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be angry, young lady. This man is not the shopkeeper."
"I'm not the shopkeeper, so maybe you are?" the shopkeeper asked without raising his head.
The waiter ignored her and just wrapped a piece of cake and sent the man out. "Although that man is not the shopkeeper, he is indeed a member of the shop. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope the girl won't mind."
Song Yuehua was not happy at all when she saw the two pieces of cake stuffed into her hands.
What's there to eat? She's already full.
After returning to the inn, Song Yuehua was very thoughtful. She found the waiter and asked him about the best dim sum shop in Qingzhou City.
"The best food in Qingzhou City must be the Ma family shop in the East Market." The waiter replied.
"Is there no shop comparable to the Ma family's shop?" Song Yuehua asked again.
The waiter shook his head and said, "The Ma family's shop is the most famous. Everyone who has eaten there has praised it. There is really no other shop that can be compared with it."
Song Yuehua gave the waiter five copper coins.
After everyone left, Song Yuehua opened the wrapped mung bean cake and took a bite. The mung beans had a uniform sandy texture and a soft but non-greasy sweetness. She could faintly smell the faint fragrance of the beans. Before she knew it, she had finished a small piece.
Song Yuehua opened the window, put the last piece of mung bean cake into her mouth, looked at the people passing by outside, and thought, maybe the mung beans in Qingzhou grow well.
There are many pastry shops in Qingzhou, but the taste of none of them can compare to the Ma's shop. It is impossible for Song Yuehua to lose face and go to Ma's shop again, so she can only ask the waiter of the inn to buy a pack of pastries from the shop.
