Chapter 106 Just Because He Wanted
Chapter 106 Just Because He Wanted
Ling Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at the little brother who was laughing so hard that he almost cried, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
When the other party's laughter almost died down, he said solemnly: "So Ze'er, don't have too much contact with Li Jingran. He just spoke to you in such a frivolous tone, which clearly had bad intentions."
Seeing that he spoke seriously and confidently, as if Li Jingran was really interested in him, Xia Mo's smile on his face instantly deepened.
He hummed twice, then said readily: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Therefore, Ling Chuan felt very happy after getting a satisfactory answer, and his eyes, which always seemed too sharp, also flickered with tiny lights.
Smiles are contagious, and so is happiness, so Xia Mo smiled again. It was really comfortable to get along with this person.
He felt the other party's sincere treatment, wholehearted love, and also felt the other party's needs... So, he also wanted to give back more, not because he felt indebted, but because he wanted to.
Because the future is promising, he should also contribute more to their home. Besides, Haikou has already made the promise, so how can he not support them?
"Okay, okay, Brother Ling, let's go to Tianran Restaurant first. They will have more business later and probably won't have time to deal with us." Xia Mo said with a smile.
"Okay." Ling Chuan smiled.
Therefore, the two of them continued on their way and naturally forgot about Li Jingran's matter.
As they walked, they suddenly smelled a strong fragrance wafting from not far ahead.
Xia Mo sniffed and sighed inwardly, "What a nice smell!" Then he looked in the direction where the fragrance was strongest.
There was a small stall there, and there were several people standing in front of it. The sign of the stall could be vaguely seen through the gaps between them.
"It turns out to be a sesame seed bun. No wonder it smells so good." Xia Mo smiled and looked away.
I have to say, the smell was really good, and it made him miss the fried food he had eaten in the snack street before.
Ling Chuan just turned his head and saw his fleeting expression, and said: "Ze'er, do you want to eat?"
"Hmm?" Xia Mo tilted his head and just as he shook his head to say he didn't want to eat, the man took his hand and walked directly towards the stall, so he had no choice but to say as he walked: "Brother Ling, you don't have to buy anything. You're not hungry yet..."
However, the other party had obviously made up his mind. When he arrived at the stall, he said, "Wait." and turned around to buy a sesame cake.
Xia Mo felt helpless when he saw this. In fact, he was not really hungry. After all, he had just eaten in the morning. How long had it been now? It was not even noon yet. He only looked at it a few more times because he missed it a little... Wait, he didn't think that he wanted to eat it because of this, right?
Really... Looking at the man's waiting figure, Xia Mo felt his chest getting hot, and he twisted his fingers hanging by his side.
After a while, Ling Chuan bought two golden sesame cakes and handed one to Xia Mo, "Eat it."
Xia Mo looked down before reaching out to take the hot pancake, bringing it to his mouth and taking a bite.
"Wow! Delicious!" Xia Mo's eyes widened instantly.
"The outside is crispy, spicy and crunchy, and the meat filling inside is also very pure. It's really good. It turns out that there are many masters among the people. Brother Ling, you should try it too." After Xia Mo finished speaking, he started eating by himself.
Seeing the boy's cheeks bulging with food and a mischievous look on his face, Ling Chuan chuckled and said, "Eat slowly. I'll go buy a few more to take with you."
Xia Mo shook his head immediately after hearing this, swallowed the food in his mouth and said quickly: "No, no, Brother Ling, let's just try something new. We'll get sick of it if we eat too much. Let's go eat something else at noon."
Ling Chuan thought it was okay to buy a few more, but when he heard Xia Mo said he wanted to eat something else, he gave up. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xia Mo smiled, and seeing that he hadn't started eating the pancake he was holding, he reminded him again: "Eat quickly, don't just stand there and watch me eat. This meat-filled pancake won't taste good when it gets cold."
Ling Chuan said "hmm" and started eating.
Eating a sesame bun didn’t take much time, and after finishing it, the two headed straight to their destination.
A big restaurant is a big restaurant. Not only is it located in a bustling area of the market, it also looks very grand from the outside. It is indeed extraordinary.
Outside Tianranju, Xia Mo praised secretly.
Ling Chuan: "Don't be afraid, Ze'er, let's go in, I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mo glanced at him coldly, hummed, muttered "I'm not afraid", and walked towards the restaurant.
As soon as the waiter at Tianranju saw someone coming in, he hurried forward to greet them with a smile.
"Hello, gentlemen. Would you like a private room or to sit inside? What would you like to order? Our restaurant has the finest Beijing-style cuisine." I didn't expect that there would be business so early today.
This was Xia Mo's first time in Tianranju, so he quickly took a look around before looking at the smiling waiter beside him.
After all, he didn't want to waste the other person's enthusiasm, so he waved his hand and said directly: "No need, brother, we are not here to eat. I wonder if your shopkeeper is here? Can you introduce him to us? We have a business that we want to do with him."
"Huh? Doing business?" Looking at the handsome and energetic young man in front of him, the waiter was slightly stunned. For a moment he doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
Xia Mo nodded, "Young man, you heard it right, but don't worry, my husband and I just want to meet the shopkeeper and have a chat. If it doesn't work out, that's fine."
After confirming that the other party was not joking, the waiter frowned slightly and began to look at the couple in front of him again.
Although this man's aura was somewhat intimidating, and the young man's manners were also generous, their clothes did not make them look like the young masters of a wealthy family. They looked like ordinary people with slightly better financial conditions at most, and they did not look like the people who came to see the shopkeeper before...
Hiss, you still have nothing in your hands, what kind of business do you want to do with the shopkeeper?
The waiter thought about it and looked at Xia Mo and Ling Chuan again. Seeing that they were still waiting calmly, he thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you two could tell me what kind of business you want to do? In this way, it will be convenient for me to explain it to the shopkeeper."
In fact, it is not difficult to meet Manager Qin. Just like those people before, you just need to wait for a few more days. After all, Manager Qin is a very casual person and is often not in the store.
"Of course." Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Xia Mo smiled gratefully. There was nothing he could do. It was his fault that he always came at such an inconvenient time. As soon as he came in, he saw that the place where the shopkeeper should be was empty.
In order to make it easier for him to meet people, Xia Mo put on a bitter smile and said, "It's helpless. My family hasn't been well off lately... I'm almost selling everything I have. I just happened to have a recipe book passed down from my ancestors. I thought it wouldn't be of much use to me, so I came to ask if anyone would buy it."
"I see." The waiter saw the young man looking directly at him with his bright eyes, with a sincere expression on his face that didn't seem to be lying, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly and agreed.
"Then you two, please sit down for a while. I'll go talk to the shopkeeper." Since these two are here to sell recipes, they are not in the same group as those people, right? Anyway, there are not many customers now, and whether their recipes can be sold is none of his business.
Of course, if he can achieve better results, then he would be doing well in front of Shopkeeper Qin, hehe.
Thinking of this, the waiter quickened his pace and walked up the stairs towards the upstairs rooms.
From beginning to end, he did not notice the strange expression that flashed across the man's face when the young man talked about selling everything he had.
