In front of Ma Xiaolong's stall, a group of women with peach blossom eyes lined up to comment on him. These women didn't seem to be here to buy food, but rather to come here to buy a fine commodity.
"Wow, that's really handsome."
"Yes, yes, it's really handsome."
"Such a handsome guy is actually setting up a stall here to sell fried rice?"
"I really want to take the guy who runs the stall home and have him cook for me alone."
"You want to eat shit? You can only scrape off two ounces of powder from your face. You still have the nerve to let the little brother come to your house and cook for you alone? Go home and scrape off the powder on your face and eat it yourself."
"Hahaha, that's right. A handsome and innocent little brother like me would definitely prefer someone like me."
"Nonsense, it must be mine. I am the real natural beauty."
"Okay, okay, you should lose some weight first. Are you going to crush me to death with your weight?"
…
Although the presence of such a group of women attracted many people in front of Ma Xiaolong's stall, it was also because of the presence of these women that there were no other people in front of Ma Xiaolong's stall. Seeing such a group of crazy women, other ordinary diners avoided them one by one.
This actually made Ma Xiaolong very distressed, because he wanted to compete with Lin Ruifeng in a fair competition.
He wanted to use Lin Ruifeng's best dish, iron plate fried rice, to defeat Feng Yifan, who was able to become his apprentice.
However, now that a group of women surrounded his stall, Ma Xiaolong was unable to sell his fried rice to others.
Faced with this situation, Ma Xiaolong could only say with a little annoyance: "Hey, hey, hey, you guys, are you going to buy or not? If you don't want to buy, just get out of the way, okay? Don't crowd around my stall and delay my business."
Originally, Ma Xiaolong thought that after he got angry, the women surrounding the stall would leave on their own.
But what he didn't expect was that his anger actually irritated the women around him.
"Oh, so handsome. He's still so handsome even when he's angry."
"Angry, really angry, he yelled at me."
"So handsome. I like when he's angry."
"Ah, you finally got mad at me. Beating is love and scolding is care."
…
Ma Xiaolong was really confused when he heard the undisguised discussions of a group of women. He felt that he was really in trouble. He was actually surrounded by such a group of people. He felt like a clown at the moment, like a monkey being visited by people in a zoo.
On the other hand, Lin Ruifeng is still doing his business very calmly and steadily.
I have to say, although there don’t seem to be as many people there as in front of Ma Xiaolong’s stall, the business there is actually quite good.
Especially today, Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo were doing business together, which attracted many old customers to congratulate them.
"Xiao Lin, are you doing this with your girlfriend today? That's great, keep it up."
"Hahaha, Xiaolin and Xiaoshen are together today, they really get along well."
"That's right. Two people working together, men and women working together won't be tiring."
"Sister Zhao, it looks like you can take a break today."
Zhao Daxia, who was accompanying her two sons, smiled and said after hearing what the old customers said, "My two sons are here today, so Xiao Shen has to work hard. I will definitely thank Xiao Shen later."
Shen Qingluo was inside the stall, lifting her hair with the back of her hand and said, "You're welcome, Aunt Zhao. I wanted to try to help, too."
Lin Ruifeng took his fried rice seriously and quickly finished a portion of fried rice and handed it to the diners in front of the stall: "Here, a portion of goose meat fried rice."
The diner took the fried rice and couldn't help but smell it. "Hmm, it smells good, it really smells good, it really is the smell of your chef's fried rice, thank you."
Lin Ruifeng smiled and responded: "You're welcome, thank you for coming."
After several diners in the queue had finished making fried rice, Lin Ruifeng finally had the chance to make one for Zhao Daxia’s two sons.
After the food was done, Lin Ruifeng called out from inside the stall, "Aunt Zhao, come over here and take some. These two portions are for the two younger brothers."
Zhao Daxia came over to get the fried rice, took a look and said, "Hey, why did you make such a sumptuous meal for them? In fact, one portion of fried rice per person would be enough, but you added three ingredients to them. How embarrassing! These two boys eat so well, won't they ask for it every day when they go home?"
Shen Qingluo smiled and said, "Aunt Zhao, please don't be polite. My two younger brothers have finally come here, so they must eat well."
In the end, Zhao Daxia had no choice but to hand over the two plates of Sanla fried rice to the children.
After putting it down, Zhao Daxia said to her two sons, "Okay, you two can eat it. This is the best fried rice here. I've given you plenty of the three ingredients."
When the son saw the fried rice in front of him, even his eldest son, who was usually calm, had his eyes light up.
The youngest son couldn't help but yell, "Mom, this fried rice is really great. There are so many things in it, including meat and duck legs. Mom, do you want to eat it?"
Zhao Daxia couldn't help laughing when she saw her youngest son yelling. She reached out and touched her son and said, "Okay, Mom won't eat, so you eat it. Eat quickly. The eldest son should eat quickly too."
Next, the two children began to eat like two little wolf cubs, gobbling up the food in no time.
Even many diners nearby couldn't help drooling when they saw the two children wolfing down the food. They felt that the food was so delicious just by watching them eat.
Zhao Daxia was watching from the side and was also very happy. At the same time, she reminded the children: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry. Look at the two of you eating everywhere. How unhygienic is this? Eat slowly, these two portions are for the two of you. No one will snatch them from you."
Not long after, the youngest son felt a little full and burped several times in succession.
Zhao Daxia also stood up and walked over to ask Lin Ruifeng for two bowls of wonton soup for the two children.
After returning to her seat, Zhao Daxia first fed her youngest son a few mouthfuls of soup: "Come, drink some soup. I told you not to be anxious, didn't I? Drink some soup to smooth things over."
After drinking the soup, the younger son recovered quickly.
The eldest son drank a few sips of soup himself.
After drinking the soup, the eldest son was also a little surprised: "Mom, this soup is delicious too."
Zhao Daxia smiled and said, "Of course it tastes good. This soup is the chicken soup that the boss has been cooking for a long time, and he has added some ingredients to it. You two can enjoy it slowly."
The eldest son looked at the smile on his mother's face and felt at this moment that his mother seemed to be living well here.
An idea emerged in the eldest son's mind, and his face gradually became gloomy.
Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo were busy here, Zhao Daxia was eating with her two sons. Ma Xiaolong was still busy dealing with the women surrounding the stall. He was really annoyed by the women's nitpicking, but he had no way to deal with it.
In the end, Ma Xiaolong made a very bold decision and just closed up his stall and left.
Lin Ruifeng happened to look up while busy, and saw that Ma Xiaolong had actually packed up and left. He was also a little surprised: "Why did he pack up and leave so early?"
Shen Qingluo smiled and said, "What else can I do? Isn't it because those women are surrounding him?"
Lin Ruifeng was also a little amused: "How can it be like this? Women are really scary."
Shen Qingluo used her wet hand to clench her fist and hit Lin Ruifeng on the cheek: "What did you say? Women are really scary? Are you saying that I am scary too?"
Lin Ruifeng quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, I didn't say you, I was talking about those women."
Shen Qingluo didn't actually hit him hard, and she knew that Lin Ruifeng was not talking about all women, but only those who surrounded Ma Xiaolong.
Shen Qingluo retracted his fist, leaned close to Lin Ruifeng's ear and said, "Those are not women, they are goblins. If you get involved with them, they will eat you tonight. Do you want to provoke two of them?"
Lin Ruifeng quickly said: "No, no, I can't afford to offend you. I dare not offend you."
Shen Qingluo touched his hair with satisfaction: "Well, that's good, work hard, guests are coming, hurry up and make some fried rice."
Because the night market would be busy until late, at 9:30 in the evening, Lin Ruifeng took advantage of the relatively free time and handed the key of his shop to Zhao Daxia: "Auntie, you take the two brothers back to my shop first. You don't have to go back tonight. Stay there with them for one night."
Zhao Daxia was also a little surprised when she saw Lin Ruifeng denying the key. She looked up at him and was too embarrassed to take it for a moment.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Daxia said, "No, no, I can't live with my son at your place."
Hearing Zhao Daxia's refusal, Shen Qingluo said, "Aunt Zhao, please don't be polite. If you are worried that it will be inconvenient for Ruifeng to go back, then let Ruifeng stay at my place tonight."
After saying this, seeing Lin Ruifeng turned his head to look at him, Shen Qingluo quickly added: "You go to my shop and sleep on the floor. I'll go to Grandma Wanhua's house to sleep."
Hearing this supplement, Lin Ruifeng lowered his head instantly, feeling a little disappointed.
Seeing his expression, Shen Qingluo immediately grabbed his ear and said, "What are you thinking about? Stop imagining nonsense."
Lin Ruifeng said quickly: "I didn't think about anything. I just wondered if you went to live at Granny Liu's house, would it disturb Granny Liu? Old people tend to sleep lightly at night."
Shen Qingluo said seriously: "No, I don't make as much noise as you when I sleep. I am always very quiet and won't disturb Grandma Wanhua's rest."
Zhao Daxia felt a little embarrassed when she heard the conversation between the two young people: "Why not forget it? I'll wait until 11 o'clock and take them back early. I have a place to stay there too."
Shen Qingluo said seriously: "Aunt Zhao, please don't be polite. You are now our Xiao Lin's partner, and the partner's family is also our family. You will stay in Xiao Lin's shop tonight. It's just that the conditions are a little poor. You and your two brothers don't mind."
Zhao Daxia quickly said, "That's not possible. In fact, the environment at Xiaolin's home is much better than mine."
When Lin Ruifeng heard Shen Qingluo call him "her little Lin", he felt very happy and seemed to be full of energy in an instant.
Then he said to Zhao Daxia, "Aunt Zhao, since the place you live in is not as good as mine, you can move in with your two brothers. You're really welcome."
Shen Qingluo said, "Okay, it's decided happily. Aunt Zhao, you take the key and take the two brothers back first. Xiaolin and I will stay here."
Zhao Daxia finally took the key. Seeing that her youngest son was already sleepy, she thanked Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo again, and then led her two sons to leave the market.
After watching Zhao Daxia and her two sons leave, Shen Qingluo suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, if we have children in the future, will it be like this? We have to take care of the children and be busy every day. Will our children suddenly come to us like this?"
Lin Ruifeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, I will learn from Master in the future and make more money so that I can have more time to take care of the children."
Shen Qingluo immediately smiled and said, "You are such a fool. If you make a lot of money, you will have even less time to take care of the children."
Lin Ruifeng didn’t quite understand and thought it probably wouldn’t happen, but Shen Qingluo didn’t say much.
On the other side, Zhao Daxia led her two sons, walked through the ancient street and returned to the Lin family breakfast shop.
Before entering the door, Zhao Daxia pointed to the restaurant next to her that was still under renovation and said, "Son, this is where I will work in the future. The boss is not here now, but when the renovation is done and the boss comes back, this place will resume business. I tell you, this will definitely be the best restaurant in the future."
The younger son looked confused, but when he heard his mother say it was the best restaurant, he immediately shouted, "Great, Mom, you are awesome."
The older son asked very seriously: "Mom, is this restaurant really that great? It looks very small to me."
Zhao Daxia smiled and said to her eldest son, "Mom, let me tell you, even though this restaurant is small, the owner is amazing. He has won five stars abroad. The boss and his wife are also very nice. They even gave me a raise, so I will definitely work hard for them here."
The eldest son looked at the restaurant carefully, but in the end didn't say much.
Zhao Daxia opened the door of the Lin family's shop next door, let her two sons in, and then arranged them to sleep in the shop next to Lin Ruifeng's room.
After her two sons went to bed, Zhao Daxia called Feng Yifan.
After Zhao Daxia told Feng Yifan about the matter.
On the other end of the phone, Feng Yifan, who was coaxing his daughter to sleep with his wife, smiled and said, "Sister Zhao, you don't have to be polite. We can't go back now, so you can make your own arrangements. If you need anything, you can tell me directly. If you need money, I can have someone send it to you."
Zhao Daxia didn't expect that Feng Yifan not only did not blame her, but even wanted to give her money.
She was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Boss, it's free. I still have money. I just didn't want to disturb you, so I just told you that the child came here suddenly and I didn't know it."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's okay. The children haven't seen you for half a year, right? And isn't it summer vacation now? You can just take them out to play for a few more days. If you need anything, call me. If you need money, you can also tell me. You're welcome, Sister Zhao."
Zhao Daxia said very seriously: "Okay, thank you boss, I won't disturb you to rest."
Feng Yifan responded: "Okay, then you should go to bed early, and Xiaolin will be in charge of the stall today."
Then the two hung up the phone. Zhao Daxia glanced at her sleeping son. Finally, she said something to her eldest son and rushed to the small market.
