At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system
Chapter 56 Yangchun Noodles
Overjoyed, the shopkeeper Qian didn't care that he'd spent twice as much. He bowed and said, "Madam, you truly have a kind heart and deep sense of justice! It's just that I left in a hurry and didn't bring any scales or money. I'd like to ask you to come back with me to weigh and settle the bill."
When Gu Ermiao saw that Manager Qian agreed to his mother's price without hesitation, he couldn't help but start to reflect on his mistakes.
On the way back, Shopkeeper Qian walked very fast. When Jiang Yi saw his master respectfully bringing the mother and her children back, his eyes widened. He thought to himself that strange things happen every year, but there were especially many today.
Shopkeeper Qian rubbed his hands. After seeing Lin Qing take out a few bags of candied fruits from the basket, his eyes narrowed into a line with joy and he almost jumped up and cheered.
While weighing, he begged Lin Qing again to go see Butler Liu. After being rejected, he had no choice but to report the weight.
"Two catties, eight ounces, and three cents. It's our first meeting today, Madam, and we hit it off quite well. I'll round it up to two hundred and thirty cents! If Madam makes any more sour jujube cakes, please give them to me first!"
Lin Qingxin said, it was consistent with the system prompt, there was no shortfall in weight, no wonder this store has been passed down to this day.
"Don't bother two people with one thing. Shopkeeper Qian, please rest assured. I may send a new one in a few days."
Shopkeeper Qian nodded his head in agreement, intending to purchase the recipe for the sour jujube cake. But he suddenly became concerned that if Old Lady Tang didn't like the sour jujube cake, he would suffer a loss from this one-time deal, which would be a loss.
So, Shopkeeper Qian missed the God of Wealth for the second time today.
After Lin Qing put away the silver and took the children out, Gu Ermiao and Gu Sihe felt as if they were walking on cotton. They couldn't believe that their mother had easily earned more than two hundred coins.
Lin Qing didn't expect that the first pot of gold would come so easily.
Now that I have money, I can't help but straighten my back.
Originally, Lin Qing thought that after selling the sour jujube cakes, he would use the money he earned to buy gifts and then go home as soon as possible. But now it was almost noon and he had an extra plan. He might as well go for a walk and have a meal first, and then talk about his own things.
Based on Lin Qing's experience of watching movies and reading novels, the most informed sources at this time are nothing more than two places:
Red-light district and restaurants.
Naturally, she couldn't go to the former with her children.
However, the latter has greater information flow, after all, everyone needs to eat.
Lin Qing grinned and stopped, saying, "Let's go and fill our stomachs. I heard that the biggest restaurant in town is Shuangxi Restaurant. How about we go there?"
Gu Ermiao and Gu Sihe cheered when they heard this, but Zhao'er looked worried.
Even though she lived in a remote area, she had heard of the reputation of Shuangxi Restaurant. How could she have the nerve to spend her wife's money to eat in such a good place?
But seeing that her wife and two children were looking forward to it, she felt too embarrassed to refuse and thus rejected her wife's kindness.
But when they really got to the door of the restaurant and saw its grandeur, which seemed to keep people away from it, the three children all backed off.
Especially the undisguised look of disgust from the servant at the door made them feel even more ashamed.
He just shook the white towel off his shoulder without even rolling up his eyes.
"Where did you come from, beggar? Go away, go to the City God Temple to beg for food. There is porridge today. This is not a place for you people!"
Seeing that they were indifferent, the servant almost threw the rag at Lin Qing's face like he was chasing a fly, and his tone became more and more unhappy.
"Get out of here! You still don't understand what I'm saying?! If you don't leave, I'll call for help!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qing saw several burly men coming out from the corner of the shop, looking at them fiercely, and walking towards them with a shaking momentum.
Lin Qing was very disdainful. Haha, if this was a regular store, it would be weird.
Which restaurant would hire thugs and display them so blatantly?
It seems that the boss behind this must be very powerful.
He stopped Gu Ermiao who was about to go forward to argue, looked around the hotel, and then looked at the servant with a smile.
The servant wanted to curse her a few more times, but for some reason, he felt a chill down his spine when he saw her look.
"Everyone says Shuangxi Restaurant is famous throughout the town, but I didn't expect such hospitality. Even this has earned praise from the entire town. It seems your owner is quite something."
The servant rolled his eyes a little and started to flatter without hesitation.
"Of course. Our boss is a guest of honor of the County Magistrate. If he coughs, the whole of Anping Town will tremble..."
Lin Qing sneered.
"Then you better watch out. What if your boss catches a cold and coughs too much, and shakes Anping Town to pieces? If that happens, you better stay away from him! After all, he has all the power and eyes in the world, and he can't afford to pay attention to an ant like you who lives in a crack in the ground. Just wish you the best, little brother."
At first the servant didn't realize that she was mocking him, but it was only when the guests at the table reminded him that he realized that Lin Qing was scolding him.
When he wanted to retort, he saw the backs of Lin Qing and several children.
He was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed.
Since he couldn't go to Shuangxi Restaurant, Lin Qing was worrying about where to go for dinner, but he didn't expect to be stopped as soon as he turned around.
"Madam, why don't you bring the children to try my specialty Yangchun noodles? It's generous and filling. If they don't like it, it's free!"
Lin Qing looked carefully and realized that the person who was talking was the owner of the noodle stall opposite.
The boss was a man in his forties or fifties, wearing earth-gray clothes that were neatly dressed. The small stall was also quite clean. Lin Qing immediately decided to eat there.
After sitting down, seeing that the three children were all uneasy, Lin Qing instantly realized that this was their first time eating out, and hurriedly spoke to comfort them.
"Don't be nervous, eat as much as you want. If you're not full with one bowl, we'll buy you a new one! Don't worry, we have plenty of money now!"
Several children were amused by her words, and their tension was naturally relieved.
While we were chatting, several bowls of Yangchun noodles with green chopped green onions floating on them were served.
The soup base was clear but fragrant. When the children saw Lin Qing had already picked up his chopsticks, they followed suit and took a bite carefully. Then they couldn't help but shine in their eyes.
I didn’t expect that this seemingly bland noodle soup could be so delicious!
After the three children finished their noodles with gusto, they were shocked to find that there was a fried egg at the bottom of their bowls, while Lin Qing's bowl was empty. Tears welled up in their eyes.
Mother/Madam has been so good to them, I have no way to repay her!
Without waiting for their thanks, Lin Qing suddenly spoke, "Ermiao, I'm sorry. I originally said I'd give you a bag of sour jujube cakes and let you set your own price, but things got urgent, so I had to sell them all. Mother will definitely not go back on her word like this next time."
Gu Ermiao was stunned as he held the bowl. He never expected that his mother said sorry to him before he even apologized to her!
"Mom, you did the right thing. There's no need to apologize to me. Instead, I should be the one reflecting on my mistakes. If you really gave me that bag of sour jujube cakes, I would be so poor that I would lose all my pants."
Zhao'er murmured in disbelief: "Madam actually said sorry to the child!"
