Chapter 149: True Face
When he walked out of the car dealership, Yan Dong's face was covered with fatigue, and the cold wind blowing against him made him shiver.
Just now, he showed off his wits to Zhu Zhengguo and the other three, and deliberately lied that he could only get off work after changing his shift.
In fact, he just wanted to hide away for a while, assuming that they had already had dinner before he came out to take them to the temple fair.
These three years have taught him to be frugal, and he tries his best to avoid any situation where money is possible.
Today, Zhu Zhengguo agreed to go to the temple fair, so he came here.
"Boss, as always, add more meat!"
Walking to a certain door, looking at the boss who was busy inside, he immediately put on a smiling expression and said to please.
The boss looked up and saw that it was him, his face fell, and he joked: "Hey, you have made a fortune today. Do you want a glass of bean juice?"
"I can't get used to that stuff!" Yan Dong hurriedly shook his head and took the soft cake handed over by the boss. After paying the bill, it was hot and he changed his hands.
At this time, he looked at the soup on the cake and seemed to be still a little dissatisfied, so he simply took a spoon and added more.
The shop owner looked at the soft pancake, which was soaked with sticky soup, and his face couldn't help but twitch.
He was really convinced. Every time he came to buy soft cakes with meat in the cold winter, he would either ask him to add more meat or add more soup.
Once, I even asked him to make the dough bigger.
My soft pancakes are both vegetables and meat and only cost two yuan. If you don’t have enough food, just buy another one. As for...
At this time, Yan Dong first sucked the soup on his hand, then smacked his lips and waited until the taste was gone, then took a bite with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Seeing his useless look, the shop owner couldn't bear it anymore and looked at him and said: "Xiao Yan, you have to eat more. It's not good if you starve your body at such a young age!"
Yan Dong showed a mean expression and said, "Brother, you are treating me to a treat. I can eat as much as you want!"
The store owner chose to remain silent and then greeted other customers.
Yan Dong turned around and walked away while eating, curling his lips and humming in his mouth: "You want me to buy more, are you so kind? You don't want to make more money from me, who are you..."
He was quite familiar with the nearby area, so he found Zhu Zhengguo and his family in a small shop before finishing the cake.
When he saw Zhu Zhengguo and the others, the family happened to be eating around three, one large, two small, bowls of hot soup noodles.
In addition to the noodles, there were only a few strands of green vegetables floating on the surface of the bowl. It looked like a particularly cheap dish, and Yan Dong's eyes immediately showed a hint of superiority.
"Uncle, aunt!" Yan Dong's face showed a smile again.
"Ah, Xiao Yan, you got off work so soon!" Zhu Zhengguo was obviously startled when he saw that it was Yan Dong, and then he stood up awkwardly.
They had also seen a lot of good restaurants just now, but after seeing the prices, they finally gave up. They originally thought of dealing with them casually and waiting for him to come out.
I didn't expect to find them so quickly...
Zhu Zhengguo looked at the extremely poor environment in the store, and the embarrassment on his face that had just calmed down became even stronger.
"Uncle, why do you want to eat just this?" Yan Dong pretended to have just seen the bowls of noodles on the table, and immediately said with surprise on his face.
"...Oh, that's it. We heard that there are a lot of snack sellers in this temple fair, so we just want to deal with it casually and keep our stomachs open before we eat. We won't eat when you come. Let's go!"
Zhu Zhengguo wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. Seeing this, he could only stand up quickly and leave.
"Yes, there are a lot of snacks there, let's go, uncle!"
Yan Dong ran faster than him, and hurriedly chased Xiaoxue to the door and said with a smile: "Tell me what delicious food you see when you see it. It took a lot of effort for you to come here, and I will buy it for you. Are you full just now? I
How about some more cake here..."
"No, I'm full!" Xiaoxue quickly waved her hands and refused, then took half a step back.
Zhu Zhengguo, who was still standing in the store at this time, was being held by the store owner to pay for the meal.
Two bowls of noodles, divided into one large and two small, cost him ten yuan, which made him feel so distressed that he could only breathe in the air conditioner.
"This price is enough to buy two kilograms of meat in our hometown!" Zhu Zhengguo paid the money with an indignant look on his face, and then hurriedly chased him out.
"Then you stay in the country, you poor guy!"
They followed them to the temple fair. Looking at the lively flow of people around them, they seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now.
Yan Dong pointed to the shadow puppet show next to him and shouted: "Look at this Xiaoxue, there are actually people behind it!"
"and this........."
"Look at this again..."
Although, Xiaoxue already knew something from her parents, so she deliberately kept a distance from the severe winter from the beginning.
But this was the first time she had seen such a lively temple fair, so she gradually became immersed in it.
The temple fair in Xicheng is a key tourism project of the province, so there are many interesting things and folk snacks.
Not only are there traditional temple fairs here, but there are also several shopping malls not far from the exit, and the things there are full of modern flavor.
"Pig's trotters are for sale. They don't taste good and don't cost money..."
When they passed by a stall selling roasted pig's trotters, they immediately smelled the fragrant aroma.
Zhu Xiaoxue looked at the deliciously fragrant roasted pig's trotters, with longing in her eyes. They had just served their noodles, and she hadn't even taken a few bites. The cold winter had come, and now she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore.
On the side, Yan Dong glanced sharply, then turned his head and looked to the other side with a steady gaze.
Zhu Zhengguo, who was following behind them, had a clear view of their little moves. Zhu Zhengguo just glanced at them and didn't react.
Only Xiaoxue's mother opened her mouth, looked at her husband beside her, shook her head helplessly, and then prepared to walk straight over.
But at this time, Zhu Xiaoxue stopped, then walked to the stall and said to the boss: "Boss, how do you sell this?"
"Eight yuan each, each person can only buy two!" The boss looked up and said calmly.
At this moment, a man's disdainful snort came from behind: "You can only buy two. If you have money, you can sell twenty. This is Xiaoxue who is deliberately bluffing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat boss looked up at him but then lowered his head, took out a piece of paper from the side and said: "See clearly, our pig's trotters have won awards!"
"............" Zhu Xiaoxue pursed her lips, still looking at the pig's trotters without saying anything.
She is so hungry.
If she were in her hometown, it would be okay even if she couldn't bear to skip a meal, but the smell wafting around her made her hungry.
At this time, Xiaoxue's mother, who was following behind, suddenly took out the money with a heavy face and said: "Buy one, Xiaoxue hasn't eaten much all day!"
Yan Dong gritted his teeth and shouted quickly: "Auntie... I'll come, I'll come..."
"How can I use your money? Auntie is rich!" Xiaoxue's mother shook her head, but sneered in her heart.
She could clearly see the scene just now. How could a man have any future if he digs to this extent?
"I'll do it, I told you I bought it!" Yan Dong felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, and said with a red face.
