Chapter 111: 111 goes to the bun shop to buy clay buns

However, Aunt Luo introducing Su Xiaofeng, let’s not talk about other things, was a good choice based on looks alone.

There’s an illusion of a refreshing elegancy and a celestial poise—such a fine youngster. Wouldn’t introducing him to Su Xiaofeng be a waste?

Lin Jing, after graduating from high school, didn’t make it to the university. Her father sent her to a city health school. She would come back every Friday afternoon and leave on Sunday.

Dong Tianhao was her high school classmate; the two families got along well, and their relationship was decent too. They occasionally went shopping together.

Lin Yue glanced at the man across from Su Xiaofeng. He was handsome, striking at first sight, but he gave her the impression of a demon who had just crawled up from hell—an eerie illusion.

She curled her lips, "Probably so."

Dong Tianhao stood up and walked to the front of Su Xiaofeng and her companion, with a nonchalant tone, "Hey, you two, didn’t you hear our conversation just now? We’ve booked this place, you—can go out now."

He thought they were some big shots to book the place, turned out it was just a countryside girl. A countryside girl daring to take over his spot, he wondered who gave her the courage.

As soon as Old Jian heard this young man trying to kick his master out, his face soured, "Young man, this is my shop. I decide who gets to book the place. You want to book it? Sure, but first, hand over ten thousand yuan."

Did he really think anyone can book this place as they wish? Without ten thousand yuan, don’t even think about it.

Dong Tianhao had never seen such a shameless restaurant owner before. Just booking a dumpling restaurant, and he’s asking for ten thousand right away.

Su Xiaofeng quietly ate her dumplings. She glanced at Ye Cheng and saw him still staring blankly at her; she swallowed her saliva, pretending to be calm, "Why aren’t you eating?"

It was then that Ye Cheng picked up his chopsticks, his tone casual, "What happened to me just now?"

Why had he woken up in her arms?

What had happened to him? His condition was terrifying.

Next time, she definitely had to ask Yixiao for a Silver Needle, ready to knock him out anytime, anywhere.

Having lived two lifetimes, it was strange to encounter a patient like Ye Cheng.

"You suddenly fainted. I was about to take you to see a doctor, but then you woke up on your own when I pinched your nose." His disease was indescribable.

All he could say was that in this vast world, there truly were all sorts of patients.

Su Xiaofeng and her companion automatically ignored the noise from outside. Dong Tianhao, riled up by Old Jian’s ten-thousand-yuan booking fee, was boiling with rage: "Do you think this is a palace? Booking a place for ten thousand, have you never seen money?"

In the past, when he visited, he hadn’t noticed the owner being this bullish.

Do you know who I am, do you know the Dong Family?

"Young man," Old Jian listened while the young lady was chatting with her friend. This young man at the side was really killing the mood. This disturbance could spoil the young master’s chat with the lady. Not even ten thousand would solve this if asked later, "If you can’t pull out ten thousand, please go back to your seat. Whatever you want to eat, just order, and we’ll bring it right away."

"Insolent, truly insolent," Dong Tianhao’s head was about to explode hearing Old Jian’s words: "Do you know who I am?"

"You can’t be the Jade Emperor, right?" The Jade Emperor doesn’t care about worldly matters either.

"You—"

"Tianhao," Lin Jing stood up and smiled at Dong Tianhao, "We’re all family here; it’s just a meal together, why bother getting angry with them?"

Then Lin Jing smiled at Old Jian, "Boss, we’d like three orders of beef dumplings and another dish." Her eyes glanced towards Su Xiaofeng, "Put this table on my tab—my sister and her husband’s fees included.

"Brother Tianhao," Lin Yue looked displeased at Su Xiaofeng. If Su Xiaofeng hadn’t come here to eat dumplings, how could Brother Tianhao have ended up here getting upset? "Come on, why bother getting upset over a country bumpkin? It’s not worth it, it lowers your value."

Dong Tianhao snorted coldly, "Seeing as you are Lin Jing’s sister, I’ll let you stay and eat."

Old Jian glanced at Su Xiaofeng, realizing this young lady and the two opposite her were sisters.

Suddenly, Su Xiaofeng put down her chopsticks and called out, "Boss."

Old Jian hurried over with a smiling face, knowing this young lady was his master’s woman, serving her well was essential: "What else do you need, miss?"

"How much is it?"

"Three yuan in total." One yuan fifty per bowl, two bowls exactly three yuan.

Su Xiaofeng took out the money, handing over ten yuan, "This is for him and me. The rest is for three portions for those country bumpkins next to us, thank you."

Old Jian accepted the money, "Yes, it’s already cooking and will be ready soon."

Lin Yue stood up, frustrated by Su Xiaofeng’s actions, almost to the point of death, "I don’t need you to pay for me. Sister, let’s go, I don’t want to eat here anymore."

Sitting here and being disgusted by a bumpkin was more than she could take.

Even Lin Jing, who was usually very patient, got angry when she heard this. Su Xiaofeng really didn’t know how to appreciate kindness. Lin Jing had already given her a way out, and yet she didn’t take it.

Lin Jing glanced at the man across from her and spoke slowly, "Xiaofeng, it was indeed our mistake to disturb your blind date arranged by Aunt Luo, but this place is for eating, and there’s no rule that we can’t come here. Besides, the person Aunt Luo introduced seems decent. Considering Aunt Luo’s feelings, couldn’t you perhaps...?"

A blind date?

So, they thought she was on a blind date, and Ye Cheng was her prospective match.

It seemed everyone hoped she would find someone soon and marry at the fastest speed.

"I’m sorry to disappoint you," Su Xiaofeng said with a light smile, "He is not the one my mom introduced to me. You are giving me face, so I will do the same, but since none of us want to save face, it can only be this way."

"Ye Cheng, we’ve finished eating. Do you want to leave now?" Su Xiaofeng asked Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng stood up, "Let’s go. I’ve heard there’s a bun shop across the street. I wonder if they have any rustic buns; should we buy some?"

Listening to Ye Cheng, Su Xiaofeng’s eyebrows moved, and her eyes seemed to smile, "Sure, I’d like to see what a rustic bun looks like too."

Su Xiaofeng led the way, while Ye Cheng followed behind her.

Old Jian watched as his own young lord walked away, feeling boundless regret.

Three servings of dumplings were served from the kitchen, "Ladies, the customer just now paid for these. Please enjoy."

Recalling Su Xiaofeng’s earlier words, Lin Yue refused to eat, "Sister, let’s go, I don’t want to eat here anymore."

"Right, I don’t want to eat here either, and I won’t come back again," Dong Tianhao, who had never been treated this way, was furious.

"Let’s switch places then, I also can’t eat anymore." The money paid by that woman Su Xiaofeng, she definitely did notwant.

What did she mean by that, showing off that she wasn’t short of money?

No matter how much she showed off, she was still a poor wretch, nothing to be proud of.

——

When He Ximei returned home, Old Guaizi had just had his lunch and was fiddling with some woodwork. He glanced at He Ximei, "Have you eaten?"

He Ximei wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Not yet, where’s Xiaofeng?"

"She hasn’t come back yet." Guaizi fetched a saw, "Did she get on the car?"

He Ximei felt something was off, "That’s not right, she said she was going to catch a bus around nine in the morning. I saw her walking to the bus station with some stuff. Hasn’t she come back?"

It was already past two in the afternoon; whatever bus she took should have returned by now.

"This child." Guaizi put down the saw, "She probably went to handle some business. Lately, she’s been thinking too big, I don’t even know what’s on her mind."

"Exactly." The topic excited He Ximei, "You don’t know how well the chili sauce Xiaofeng made is selling at the train station. Today, I brought over a hundred bottles there, and only a few are left unsold."

If she wasn’t hungry, she could have sold them all.

"As long as it makes money." Guaizi chuckled, "I didn’t realize that after her head injury, she became so mature and seems to have the knack for business."

"Exactly." He Ximei assisted Guaizi with the wood, making it easier for him to saw, "Have you asked Master Wang how much the renovation of our house will cost?"

"It will definitely cost over a thousand." Guaizi stood up, "Master Wang said the roof definitely needs new tiling, the walls need fresh plastering, and the flooring should be cemented, trendy nowadays. Even our kitchen stove needs rebuilding."

Talking about renovation, it wasn’t much different from rebuilding.

"Alright, settle it with Master Wang then find a good day to start the work. We’ll move out for a while and have Uncle Three’s family look after our place." With the old house undergoing repairs, it certainly wasn’t fit for habitation.

"Yes, some things also need to be moved to Uncle Three’s house."

He Ximei brought out the food from the kitchen, called Su Peng to eat, and looked at the time, "It’s almost three o’clock, and I have no idea where Xiaofeng is?"
