Chapter 497 Eating at all the snack stalls 2

He finished all the noodles in the bowl in two bites.

I don’t know what I ate, I think I just drank some soup?

Zhou Gu did the same and ate it in one bite.

Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi have been in school for more than half a year and have been eating at school for more than half a year. They have become more careful about their eating manners. At least they are not like before, with big mouths, eating up everything in the bowl in one bite for fear that others would snatch the food away. Now they eat in two bites at least.

Li and Zhou Xing have always eaten little. When food was scarce, most of the food given to them was given to Zhou Guo and others without leaving any trace. After getting up at home, they ate even slower.

Zhou Guo was even more so. Although he ate fast, he ate each bite very elegantly, and his eating style was better than anyone else sitting there.

How big are the mouths of the little ones? And Zhou Suli ate very slowly, bite by bite, savoring the food slowly.

Zhou Guo took two bites and looked up, only to see that the bowls in front of the old man and Zhou Gu were empty. If one didn’t know, one would have thought that they hadn’t received any portion.

He looked at his bowl and saw that he still had two chopsticks left. He asked tentatively, "How about I give you some more?"

The old man glanced at her and said, "Is the food in your bowl enough for you to eat? Will you share it with us?"

Zhou Guo lowered his head silently. Really, how could she talk like that? Was the gap between her teeth that big?

Li looked at the people at other tables looking over, blushed, and said to the old man, "Shall I order you another bowl?"

The old man shook his head. "No, I've tasted this already. Let's save some space for other things."

This knife-cut noodles doesn’t taste very good. If it were good, it wouldn’t be a big deal to have another bowl.

In fact, everyone also thinks so. Now that the food is served at home, and they eat too much delicious food, it is natural that some foods taste good and some don’t. It will come out once they taste them. Although they will not leave some in the bowl, it is impossible to ask them to have a second bowl.

The old man couldn't wait, and stood up and went to the stall next to them before they finished eating. It seemed that they were selling something to drink, so he went to take a look.

After Zhou Guo finished eating, Zhou Gu and others went to the stall next door.

Li paid the money, and the others went to take a look at the stall nearby.

At first glance, it was a tea vendor. The red and green colors looked pleasing to the eye. Zhou Guo pointed at the red tea and asked, "What is this?"

The stall owner replied: "Basil drink."

"Give me a bowl! Mom, what do you want to drink?"

If not for anything else, she would try it just for the color. Why hasn't she seen it anywhere else? She went to so many places with her uncle last year, but didn't see anyone selling this basil drink.

Each person ordered another bowl to drink.

There was a barbecue stall with roasted pork, mutton, beef, and even roasted pig skin. Zhou Guo ordered a skewer of each for everyone. Not only the meat, but they had never eaten roasted pig skin before.

Each person grabbed a handful of skewers and ate them while walking. There was a soup vendor over there, with all kinds of soups, such as carrot and pork ribs soup, chicken and mushroom soup, and eel and pork tripe soup...

Although I only drank a bowl of tea, it seemed that the soup was drinkable, especially since there were so many dry goods in the bowl.

Just like tea, one wanted to eat this, another wanted to eat that, so everyone had to order a bowl for themselves. Zhou Guo ordered a bowl of eel and pork tripe soup, which was fresh and rich, and really delicious!

After drinking the soup and eating the skewers, Zhou Guo went to the side and saw the soup dumplings. The aroma wafted over and she couldn't walk anymore. Anyway, she had a big appetite, so after ordering for others, she simply asked for two trays for herself.

It is so satisfying to bite a little bit of the skin on the outside, suck up the rich soup inside, and then eat the soup dumpling in one bite.

Although it couldn't compare to what she had eaten in her previous life, it was also delicious, at least better than the big buns.

After eating so much, the Li family members couldn't eat any more. Zhou Suli was even more so. He only ate half of each skewer and didn't dare to eat more. Even so, after eating two soup dumplings, his stomach felt bloated and he couldn't eat any more.

Zhou Mai and the other older boys are different from Zhou Guo and the old man. They are in the growing period and eat a lot. Although the old man's appetite is not as big as Zhou Guo's, it is much bigger than that of the Li family.

The group walked along the way, buying whatever they saw delicious. Later, Zhou Guo was the only one still eating. She held up a roast chicken and asked them, "Are you really not going to eat it? It smells much better than the one in the county, and it's quite fragrant."

Everyone shook their heads, even the old man who loved eating the most didn't nod his head, because he really couldn't eat any more.

Zhou Guo had no choice but to eat by himself. He ate with relish, but before he finished, he saw a stall selling braised dishes, braised lamb and beef, and ordered half a pound of braised beef.

He held a chicken in his left hand and a bag of braised beef in his right hand. He ate slowly and leisurely, not in an unrestrained manner at all, which attracted the attention of people on the street.

The old man looked at her little belly with envy. She ate so much, he really didn't know where it went. He made up his mind that next time he went out, he would not go out with her. She was so greedy!

She took a bite of the braised beef and thought it tasted really good. She turned around and asked everyone, "Are you really not going to eat it? It tastes pretty good, and one piece won't be too much. Can't you even fit one piece in your stomach?"

Everyone looked at her silently without saying anything.

Seeing this, she sighed and said, "Well, it seems that I am the only one who has this blessing."

The group walked slowly forward. After eating, they had no fixed place to go. They walked from street to street, and turned to the next place at the end.

When people saw something they liked on the street, they started to disperse one by one.

The old man followed the aroma into the wine shop. The smell was so strong that it made people unable to walk. Zhou Gu followed him in. The young man also learned to drink a little during this period of time, so it was more fun to follow the old man.

Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi went to the bookstore, and Li gave them twenty taels of silver.

When Zhou Xing saw Yin Lou, her eyes didn't move at all and she just stared at him eagerly.

Li was just about to go to the silver shop to buy something, so she said, "Let's go in and take a look."

As for Zhou Su and the others, there was nothing they wanted to buy, so they could only follow the adults wherever they went.

Zhou Guo kept his head down eating. After he finished the chicken and the beef, he burped, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and then wiped his mouth.

A man selling candied haws passed by. I spent two cents to buy a string and went into the jewelry store while biting a candied haws.

There are quite a lot of customers in the silver shop now, and they are served by a young waiter.

Maybe she had just arrived and was assigned to serve these people who were obviously unable to afford anything. I guess after entertaining them for a long time, she still couldn't afford a pair of silver clove earrings.

But the young man was very enthusiastic. He introduced the items on the counter to them with a smile, and asked Zhou Guo if she wanted to try them on. He looked at the shopkeeper and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if you don't buy them. You can try them here."

Zhou Guo also lowered his voice and asked, "If none of us can afford it, it doesn't matter, right?"
