Transmigrated into Substitute Bride ‘Fu Lang’

re have you been lately? My grandson has been thinking about your food.
In the end, I couldn’t find him but today, I finally found you.
You have to give me more later!”

 

Chen Xing looked at that fiendish and fierce look of Aunt Sheng, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
He good-naturedly said as he looked at her, “Okay.
I’ve had some troubles recently, so I’ve been absent from the stall for a few days.
I’m sorry!”

 

That Aunt Sheng looked at Chen Xing who always had a gentle expression on his face no matter what she said, thinking of the rumours she had heard a few days ago, she was a little embarrassed, thus he looked at Chen Xing with a slightly awkward expression.

Chen Xing could see her embarrassment and pretend that he didn’t see it.
He knew that Aunt Sheng was just a bit short-tempered but she was not a bad person, so he smiled and asked her, “Aunt Sheng, do you still want two bowls of mapo tofu today? I’ve made something new, would you like to try it?”

 

When she heard Chen Xing say this, Aunt Sheng looked at him with some suspicion, “What kind of food?”

 

Chen Xing smiled faintly as he opened the wooden bucket with the jellied tofu inside and introduced it to her, “This is jellied tofu complete with a dipping water, suitable for people who don’t eat much spicy food.
Because there is no meat, it is cheaper than Mapo Tofu, only five yuan for one portion.”

 

Aunt Sheng looked at the tender tofu that was white and different from usual tofu and then at Chen Xing’s smiling face, hesitated for a moment and said straight away, “Then I’ll have one portion of flower bean curd and one portion of mapo tofu.”

 

“Okay!” Chen Xing took the money given by Aunt Sheng, and quickly prepared the two portions for her.
Besides that, he also gave her a little more as she had instructed.

 

After Aunt Sheng took away her meal, more and more customers came behind her.
What Chen Xing did not expect was that the bean curd jelly rice was actually more popular than the mapo tofu, and most of the people who came chose the bean flower rice after hesitating for a while.
Looking at the rapidly decreasing number of bean curd jelly, Chen Xing began to think in his mind that he would have to prepare more bean curd flowers tomorrow. 

[/mfn]Wow, I didn’t know it could be eaten with rice.
I only know the sweet version as dessert one[/mfn]

While Chen Xing was so busy, a boy was walking around with a piece of canvas at the place where he previously had set up his stall and shouted as he walked, “Mapo Tofu has moved to the end of the street, go there if you want to eat it!” The boy’s voice was so loud that anyone passing by could basically hear him.

 

After the boy shouted several more times, a woman who had been staying next to Granny Sun gave the boy a fed up look and then looked coldly at Grandma Sun and said unhappily, 

 

“Granny Sun, why is your grandson fussing around in the middle of the day instead of helping you with your business? How can we do business when he is drawing business to others?”

 

Granny Sun handed the customers the freshly made wontons in her hand and said without raising her head, “He basically informed the customers who wanted to eat there, even if my grandson didn’t tell them, those customers wouldn’t have eaten anything else either, so how could he take away your business?”

 

The woman felt more and more unhappy at her words, but she knew that although Granny Sun looked polite, yet she was able to make a living here peacefully bringing her grandson, so she was obviously not someone that easy to be pushed around or mess with either.

Hence the woman’s eyes rolled and she deliberately said aloud, “The official invited both you and that Ger that day.
As a result, that Ger is now being kicked out of this street, so couldn’t it be that you guys did something to provoke that official to punish him right?”

 

Her words immediately drew the eyes of the busybody people around her and they all looked towards Granny Sun, wanting to know if what she said was true.

 

But Granny Sun wiped her hands unhurriedly and said slowly, “Ordinary people and civilians like us, how can we make any mistakes? The official took us there because the county magistrate knew about Lai Jiu’s kicking over Chen Xing’s stall.
The Lai family had recently been punished and their assets seized, including a stall on a street corner.
The county magistrate rented that stall to him cheaply in order to compensate him.”

 

“What? The stall on the street corner was rented to him?!”

    

Granny Sun lifted her eyelids and looked at the woman’s face that had become slightly distorted from knowing about it, “Yes, that’s right, the County Magistrate is a good man, knowing that he doesn’t have much money, he especially charges him with only half of the money.”

 

Hearing this, the woman covered her chest with a pained look and gritted her teeth, “Such a good thing, how come it’s not my turn?”

 

The other street vendors who had been listening to their conversation nearby, nodded along uncontrollably.
Everyone knew that the best place to do business was at one end of the street, because the entrance and exit were the places with the highest traffic.

 

Chen Xing’s current stall was not only in such a location, but it was also not easy for anyone to cause trouble as there were officers and soldiers stationed not far away around.
The most important thing is that the stall’s rent is so low.

 

At once, those hawkers who had thought that Chen Xing had suffered great pain and hardship a few days ago revealed a ‘green with envy’ look, wishing that they were the ones whose stall had been kicked over in the first place.

 

While the hawkers were beating their breast and stamp on their feet in sorrow and regretting, not far away from the entrance of the restaurant, a plump woman was leaning against the door, her eyes first sweeping over the desolate tables of customers inside the restaurant, then looking at the boy who kept shouting with the banner in his hand.
In a stern tone, she said to the idle young waiter beside her, 

 

“Go and find out what that damn old woman’s grandson is doing? Besides that, ask also what’s the situation with that little Ger?”
