Chapter 177 Noodle Soup with Pancakes
The onlookers pointed and talked.
The guests at the other two tables nearby had already retreated into the crowd, fearing that innocent people would be harmed.
Li raised her foot and stepped hard on the man, saying, "I told you not to bully my child, I told you not to bully my child. A grown man can do anything else, but you actually snatched the child's food. How old is she? How dare you do that? I tell you, don't mess with a mother. For my child, I can do anything."
Zhou Guo felt pain just watching it. She didn't feel anything when she was beating herself, but now she felt really good watching her mother beating her. People like this deserve a beating.
The man was hit on the knee and couldn't even stand up. His right hand was broken and the fingers of his left hand were stepped on. Before he could recover, Li's foot hit him on the head. He screamed and cursed, "Ah, ah, ah, you stinky woman, just wait, you will suffer when I stand up. I will not let either you or your little bastard go."
The people around heard it clearly, and were all filled with indignation and anger, and applauded.
"Well done! People like this deserve to be beaten. A grown-up actually bullies a child. No wonder this girl is so cruel. They are all mothers, so who wouldn't feel sorry for their children? Well done."
A group of people around were shouting, "Great fight!"
Li pressed on it many times, but he ran out of strength and stopped.
Zhou Guo bent down and whispered to the man, "If you know what's good for you, get up and get out of here. Don't delay me from eating noodles, or I'll cut off your hand." After saying that, he slammed the chopsticks in his hand into the ground, right between the man's index and middle finger, just right.
The most terrifying thing is that only an inch-long head of such a long chopstick is left on it.
The man’s eyes suddenly widened and his left hand trembled non-stop. He almost missed the target. He looked up at Zhou Guo in horror, as if he had seen something horrible. He stuttered, “You you you you…you…you…”
Zhou Guo said calmly, "What do you mean by me? If you don't leave now, this will be your fate. I will also smother you. Listen, from now on, you are not allowed to appear in front of me. You must avoid me. Otherwise, I will beat you up every time I see you, and each time I will beat you up harder than the last time. Then, you won't get away with it as easily as today."
“…Yes, yes, yes, I’ll…get out of here right now.” The man supported himself with one hand and struggled for a long time before he got up from the ground, rolling and crawling away.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
The mother and daughter sat down again, and Zhou Guo said to the stall owner, "Stall owner, please serve our two bowls of meat noodles quickly. I'm hungry."
The stall owner shuddered and said quickly, "Hey, sir, I'll be right there, right there."
He did not mention the two bowls of noodles at all. Others did not see it, but he saw it clearly. The child broke the man's arm with one chopstick. The chopstick was inserted into the ground and the top was broken. He was simply not a human being. He was so small. He did not dare to provoke him, for fear that his wrist would be broken.
Zhou Guo ate the pancake bite by bite. The pancake had no meat, but leeks inside. It tasted like a leek dumpling, but not as oily and a bit dry. "Mom, how much is this leek pancake?"
Li said, "They say food prices have gone up, and so have these sesame cakes. Originally, this leek sesame cake was four cents a piece and was bigger than this, but now it's five cents a piece and only this small. The meat ones are even more expensive, and I don't know how much meat is in them, but they're already seven cents a piece. I couldn't bear to buy them, so I bought six. All six are yours."
Zhou Guo nodded, "It's a bit expensive and not very tasty. I was planning to bring one back for my brothers and sisters, but I think it's better for each of them to buy a meat bun. Meat buns are so fragrant and have a lot of meat."
Li said, "Okay, then each of you take a meat bun back. Eat it quickly. We will go back after you finish eating. There are still many things waiting for us at home."
The stall owner came up shakily with two bowls of noodles with meat on them, "Sir, your noodles are ready."
After saying that, he immediately turned and left.
When Zhou Guo saw the noodles, she was stunned. This piece of meat... She counted them carefully and found that there were sixteen pieces. That was not right. The previous noodles definitely didn't have so many pieces.
When Li saw that this was noodles with meat, and there was so much meat, she was shocked and asked the stall owner in the distance, "Stall owner, how much is this bowl of noodles?"
The stall owner gritted his teeth and said, "Ten, ten cents a bowl."
Li nodded. Ten cents for so much meat was considered acceptable.
Zhou Guo had already started eating, and while eating he said, "Mom, eat quickly. I originally wanted to eat vegetarian noodles, but the aroma of the shredded pork noodles kept drifting towards me, so I couldn't help but order two bowls of meat noodles. They tasted good, and the stall owner was also very nice, giving so much meat. Mom, eat quickly."
She saw the stall owner's reaction, his trembling look of fear, it was simply because he had seen her cruelty, but so what? He saw it, so what? He would eat the meat and leave after he was done.
Li couldn't eat any more. "Guoguo, what do you think the stall owner means by so much meat? Is he planning something?"
"Mom, no, he's just a noodle vendor. We don't know each other and we have no grudges. What could he possibly be planning? He probably feels sorry for what happened to us. He didn't help us and just hid away when the situation arose." Zhou Guo tore off a piece of pancake, soaked it in the soup until it softened, and stuffed it into his mouth. The pancake, which was covered with soup, was soft and fragrant, and melted in the mouth. It was much more delicious than eating it dry.
She finished the noodles in one go, tore off five sesame cakes and soaked them in the noodles, pressed them down with chopsticks, and ate them piece by piece after they were softened. They tasted better than the noodles, and her eyes curved unconsciously as she ate.
Seeing her eyes sparkling as she ate, Li smiled and tore off the remaining cake and dipped it in, "If it tastes good, eat more."
Zhou Guo waved his hands repeatedly, swallowed the cake in his mouth and said: "Mom, this is reserved for you, you can have one too, it tastes good when soaked like this."
Li smiled and said, "I only have this bowl of noodles, how can I have another cake? These are bought for you, you eat them, and then we'll go buy some buns."
Zhou Guo thought about her usual appetite, and she ate all six cakes in one go and drank the soup. If this happened at home, she would have to lick the bowl, but forget about it outside.
After finishing the two bowls of noodles, Zhou Guo smiled and said to the stall owner as he left: "Owner, the noodles taste good, the quantity is large, and there is a lot of meat. It's so affordable, the business will definitely get better and better."
The stall owner was flattered and responded with a smile.
Zhou Guo went to the bun shop and bought a bun for each person, then drove the ox cart out of the city gate.
I returned home smoothly. It was still early and no one was at home, not even Mrs. Xu. The yard was full of thatch drying in the sun and there was no place to step, even on the fence.
