Chapter 232: I’m Not Mentally Prepared At All
After paying for the innabar, the two of them left the store.
The boss was heard saying, “It’s always pleasant to do trades with visitors. How I wish I could get a few more fat sheep like them.”
Tang Li was speechless.
Tang Li tilted her head to look at Qi Yihan, who did not understand anything, and called him with a smile, “Husband.”
Qi Yihan tilted his head to look at her with a smile too. “I’ll give you whatever you like, even the stars in the sky.”!!
Tang Li looked at him with her mouth agape like she was stunned by his words. Then, she covered her face and said to him, “Why did you suddenly say something so romantic? I’m not mentally prepared at all.”
Qi Yihan grabbed her hand and continued walking.
As they walked, he asked, “Where else do you want to go?”
Tang Li scanned her surroundings and saw a noodle shop ahead of them. The boss had set up three large stoves at the side. One of the stoves was boiling large bone soup, the other had a large pot of braised food, and the other was boiling noodles.
There was also a panel beside it. On the panel was a chopping board with various seasonings and vegetables.
It was past four in the afternoon. There were a lot of people eating noodles, and a father and daughter attracted Tang Li’s attention.
The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had long, willowy eyebrows and large eyes. She had two braids tied with red strings made of small flowers, a bright-colored vest, and a large embroidered dress. On her waist was a black belt embroidered with a golden flower, a fist-sized copper bell, and a pouch. She looked very pretty.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite her was wearing a navy blue mandarin jacket and black pants. He was also wearing a colorful ethnic hat, a copper bell, and a wine gourd tied to his waist.
There were two baskets beside them. The baskets were full of worshiping items.
At this moment, the two of them were engrossed in eating.
Tang Li pointed at the noodle house and said to Qi Yihan, “Yihan, let’s go eat a bowl of noodles. I think this is the noodle house Mrs. Guo mentioned.”
Qi Yihan nodded and the two of them walked over.
When they approached the noodle house, the boss saw them and immediately asked enthusiastically, “Guests, do you want some noodles? Come in and sit.”
Tang Li and Qi Yihan walked in and sat opposite the father and daughter.
The boss walked over and asked them what they wanted to eat.
Tang Li said, “Give us two bowls of noodles and some braised food.”
After saying that, she asked, “What braised foods you have here?”
“There are drumsticks, duck legs, duck neck, duck palms, chicken feet, braised eggs, braised beef…”
The boss listed more than ten types in one go. Tang Li asked for a few that she liked and asked Qi Yihan, “Hubby, what else do you want to eat?”
“Whatever you like.” He wasn’t a picky eater.
Tang Li nodded and said to the boss, “That’s all. Two servings for each.”
“Sure.”
The boss went to make them the noodles. At this moment, the girl suddenly looked over. However, she was looking at Qi Yihan and her face turned red.
When Tang Li saw this, she narrowed her eyes unhappily.
The table here was square, and the chairs were long stools that could be used by two people. Seeing that the girl was staring at Qi Yihan non-stop, Tang Li moved to sit with him on the same stool and looked at the girl.
Only then did the girl realize that she had been caught. She quickly withdrew her gaze and continued eating.
At this moment, her father urged her, “Hurry up and eat so we can hurry back.”
The girl nodded and immediately started eating.
The boss quickly brought the noodles and braised food to Tang Li.
Shortly after the two of them started to eat, the father and daughter finished eating. When the middle-aged man paid the bill, he even packed some braised food. Only then did the father and daughter leave with a basket on their backs.
Tang Li looked at the departing figure and shook her head helplessly. “It’s not good if you’re too handsome. When you’re out, you have to be careful not to be coveted by other women.”
Qi Yihan gave her all the duck palms she liked and said, “In my eyes, all women look the same except you.”
Tang Li looked at the duck palm in the bowl and was delighted. She picked it up and slowly ate it.
After the two of them finished eating, it was already past five. When Tang Li left the noodle shop, she packed all the braised food that the boss made. She said, “Boss, the braised food you make is delicious. I want all these. Also, are you open for business tomorrow morning? I want to order some braised food.”
The braised food made by the boss of this noodle house was really delicious. Coupled with the fact that the ingredients inside were also quite good, Tang Li planned to buy more and eat them on the way.
The boss definitely wouldn’t turn down a big business.
Tang Li said, “I want it at five tomorrow morning. Can you do it?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Even if it meant staying up for the whole night, the boss would try to make the braised food. Generous customers like Tang Li were rare in a remote town like this.
Tang Li nodded. “Alright, tomorrow morning, you…”
Tang Li wanted him to send the braised food to Mr. Guo’s place, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. She looked at Qi Yihan and knew that he had brought someone with him.
Qi Yihan said, “Give us your address. I’ll get someone to go and get it tomorrow.”
With that, he took out his phone. “I’ll pay half first and the other half when we get the braised food tomorrow.”
“Good, good, good.”
“Then I’ll make you guys ten kilograms of duck palms, ten kilograms of drumsticks, ten kilograms of duck legs, and ten kilograms of beef…”
“There’s no need for that much duck palm. Just five kilograms will do. Make more drumsticks, duck legs, and beef. Also, make some vegetarian food.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Qi Yihan gave him money and the two of them left.
Then, they also bought a lot of steamed buns. After putting all of them into the bottomless bag, they followed the Tracking Talisman to look for the little boy.
This town was really small. From beginning to end, it took no more than ten minutes. However, there were many alleys on the street, and on both sides of the alley were houses.
After making their way out of the zigzagging alleys, they saw a small figure squatting by a haystack. He held up a bundle of hay and walked towards a row of dilapidated brick houses not far away.
There were three brick houses in that row. If not for the fact that there were people living there, they would have collapsed long ago.
Looking at the three brick houses, Tang Li and Qi Yihan stopped in their tracks.
After a while, Tang Li said to Qi Yihan, “Other than the boy, there’s only an old man inside. The old man doesn’t look like he can last long.”
Qi Yihan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Tang Li tilted her head to look at him. “Why don’t we go in and take a look?”
Qi Yihan nodded and the two of them continued walking towards the row of houses.
As soon as they reached the house, they met the boy who walked out of the house on the left.
