"Hahaha, my wife is right. I was being presumptuous. Alright, then please make me a bowl!"
He Liu patted Lin Moniang, who then hurriedly went to cook noodles. The noodles were quickly cooked in the boiling water, and several side dishes were added according to the guests' requests before being served.
The person ordered a dish of diced eggplant and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and also ordered an extra serving of shredded cucumber.
He was really hungry. After stirring the noodles, he picked up a big mouthful with his chopsticks and slurped it into his mouth.
"The diced eggplant is salty and spicy, the tomatoes are sweet and sour, and there's plenty of scrambled eggs," he said, praising as he ate, "Your boss is quite generous; with so many eggs, aren't you worried about losing money?"
"The customer speaks so politely; you can tell he's an educated person. Our boss said it's all about small profits but quick turnover. If the customer enjoys the food, he'll come back often!"

After declining the invitations from both families, Gu Jingheng, Lian Yingtong, and Xu Meng walked away from the dock. After spending a few days on the ship, they stepped back onto land, and both Lian Yingtong and Xu Meng felt very at ease.
“Young master, isn’t that the shop over there the one we didn’t get to eat at last time?” Xu Meng pointed.
Gu Jingheng looked up and sure enough, Su Ji Food Shop was right in front of him. He remembered that when he first saw it, there was only one stall selling fried dough sticks around it. Now there are several more stalls around it, making this open space in front of the dock lively.
"Is it still open? Xu Meng, go ask." Gu Jingheng said.
It was lunchtime, and he was getting a little hungry.
