Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Gluttonous Monster Descends the Mountain
The old grandfather used a strainer to scoop them up into a large bowl, and it was then that he added salt, oil, and the like. A bowl of fresh and fragrant wontons was thus ready.
Grandfather wanted to bring them over to them, but Li Wenli amiably took the initiative to take it away himself.
"We can manage on our own."
Grandfather watched as the young master acted without any airs, somewhat taken aback.
It took him a while before he chuckled and nodded, "All right, all right, just let us know whatever you need."
"Mm-hm."
The two foodies happily sat down and seriously tasted the bowl of wontons.
Although Grandfather was just a street vendor, his craftsmanship significantly amazed both of them.
His wontons were fresh, fragrant, and tasty, with a bite that had the heft of the flour and the freshness of the pork. Inside this pork was some crispy and chewy meat.
Bai Junjun paid attention for a moment and noticed that the originally translucent meat turned orange-red and clear after cooking. It was precisely this meat that was fresh, sweet, and springy.
Bai Junjun was amazed as if encountering something otherworldly.
Li Wenli also expressed his sentiment, "So this is what shrimp tastes like!"
The two bumpkins were eating shrimp for the first time and were thoroughly captivated by the pork and shrimp wontons.
A bowl of wontons contained only ten pieces, which was hardly enough to fill the gaps in their teeth, so they started ordering non-stop.
The elderly couple had not expected these young ones to eat so much, and by the time they ordered the third bowl, Grandfather and Grandmother could not help but remind them, "Children, it’s easy to get indigestion from eating too much at night. Don’t eat so much."
Li Wenli smiled at Grandmother reassuringly, "Don’t worry, we can handle it."
Grandmother didn’t know whether to make the wontons larger or smaller at this point; she had never seen kids who could eat so much.
As she hesitated, suddenly more children appeared before them. Just as Grandmother was about to greet them, those children sat down conscientiously next to Li Wenli and his group.
It turned out they were all together.
"Elder sister, where have you been? I looked for you for a long time and couldn’t find you."
"Did you release your river lanterns? Uncle Ah Fu just took us to Famous Scholar Bridge to release them."
"It was so crowded up there, impossible to find you."
Watching everyone chat animatedly, Bai Junjun nodded and said, "We’ve already done it. We went downstream to release them."
"Ah? Downstream? Isn’t that towards the very end? What’s there to see then?"
"Even though it’s at the end, it’s less crowded; that’s all that matters." Bai Junjun still answered patiently.
While they were chatting, Li Wenli had already taken the initiative to order wontons for them, still maintaining the standard three bowls per person.
Xiao Chan and the others totaled seven, plus Fu Gui and Bai Junjun made nine.
Three bowls per person came to twenty-seven bowls.
Seeing the steep increase in orders, Grandfather and Grandmother felt their elbows twitch. The half-grown children were one thing, but looking at four-year-old Bai Lingyu and eight-year-old Bai Sasa, Grandmother couldn’t help but ask.
"Do they really eat that much?"
"Grandma, we can eat a lot." Xiao Yu and Bai Sasa lifted their smiling faces in unison.
At this, Grandmother had no choice but to make wontons for them.
To the old couple’s astonishment, the children truly could eat!
Three large bowls were emptied in no time, even the soup was gone.
"..." Grandfather and Grandmother.
Had they encountered a Gluttonous Monster?
Bai Lingyu and the others devoured three bowls before they were satisfied, putting down their bowls and chopsticks with a sigh of contentment. Ying County really was a wonderful place; both the noodles and wontons were so delicious!
The cost of living in Ying County, compared to Dai County, was different, with the former generally remaining stable.
