Gourmet: Midnight Vending

Chapter 59: Mom Can Endure Dad Cannot


In the end, Dunzi was overwhelmed by Lao Mu's persistence and reluctantly ordered a two-tael portion of dumpling noodles.

Because Lao Mu said, if you only want the dumplings without the noodles, he won't make it. He even boasted that he'd make Dunzi eat only saliva and not chicken!

Carrying two bowls of dumpling noodles, Dunzi happily returned to the queue by the Xiao Huang cart. The noodle cooking speed was faster than before with the egg dumplings and fried rice, so the queue moved along quite quickly.

At this moment, it happened to be Zhang Feng and Mu Mu's turn in the queue.

Lao Mu stepped out from in front of his pushcart so he could watch the customers' reactions more conveniently.

"Just watch, once that customer takes a bite of the dumpling noodles, he'll definitely come right back for another bowl."

Lao Mu was full of confidence.

Having traveled around for many years, Mu Xin had absolute confidence in the dumpling noodles that had made his name. He tilted his chin up slightly, waiting for Dunzi's exclamation of surprise.

Then he saw...

Dunzi pick up his bowl of dumpling noodles, put a few small dumplings from the bowl into Boss Chen's noodle bowl, and then used disposable chopsticks to scrape the edge of the bowl.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Zhang Feng stopped Dunzi.

"Who wants to eat this stuff? Just throw it away."

Zhang Feng shook his head, "It's shameful to waste it! Even though I don't want to eat it either, but!"

He grabbed the bowl of noodles from Dunzi, ran to the stall at the end of the street, "Boss, we'll treat you to this bowl of noodles! Of course, we haven't eaten it."

Mu Xin: ???

Damn it! In the end, just eating dumplings without the noodles?

He frantically comforted himself.

Stay calm, stay calm!

At least there's my daughter, yes, at least my daughter would eat that bowl of noodles. After all, I came here today just to see my daughter. It doesn't matter if others eat it or not, my daughter eating it is enough.

Hmm... exactly like that.

"This is how it should be done, putting the wontons in this bowl definitely tastes good. Try one."

Zhang Feng picked a wonton from Dunzi's bowl, "Wow, not bad, you punk! I'll go over and order another bowl of dumpling noodles."

Mu Mu watching these two, felt like her brain was a little overwhelmed, "Boss Chen's noodles really taste that good?"

"Of course, you know him, hasn't he ever cooked for you before?"

Taking the girl out to run a stall, Zhang Feng assumed Mu Mu was Boss Chen's girlfriend.

"Uh!" Mu Mu gradually became curious, "No way, I'll try it too?"

With so many people lining up to eat, and almost everyone having at least two bowls, Mu Mu didn't really believe it either. It wouldn't hurt to try, whether it's good or not.

Since she's Boss Xiao Chen's girlfriend, no need for more words, Zhang Feng generously offered his untouched bowl of noodles, "Then just eat this bowl, Dunzi and I will share a bowl, if need be we'll buy more later."

Once he finished, Mu Mu tilted her head in thought, "Okay, I'll try it then."

Then...

Mu Xin expectantly watched his daughter, only to see Mu Mu repeat Dunzi's earlier move and bring the bowl of noodles over, placing it in front of him, "Boss, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Haha, my treat!"

Mu Xin was dumbfounded, watching his daughter leave, holding the bowl of dumpling noodles without dumplings, he slurped a bite.

How delicious... these dumpling noodles are simply divine, how could they not eat them?

In the end, he was wrong!

Mu Mu ate very elegantly, almost silently, putting a strand of noodle into her mouth tentatively.

"Hmm?"

An unprecedented taste immediately filled her mouth, trying to capture it yet it disappeared quickly. Mu Mu continued eating the noodles disbelievingly, but this time with a larger portion.

The mild aroma of sesame oil and soy sauce's umami flavor complemented the noodle fragrance explosively, with each bite seemingly squeezing out the rich aroma within the noodles.

And the slippery noodles gave her teeth a very smooth and chewy texture, Mu Mu, somewhat unconvinced, took several more bites.

Why was it completely different from the noodles I had in the cafeteria?

Even more perplexing was that nibbling a few strands wasn't satisfying at all. This type of noodle seemed to have a magical allure, only eating it in big mouthfuls felt truly enjoyable!

So, she couldn't help but start slurping, slurping, slurp~

The more she ate, the faster she ate!

Watching Mu Mu's actions, Zhang Feng couldn't help but say, "Boss Xiao Chen is really something, not even letting his girlfriend eat enough, just focused on making money!"

Dunzi agreed with him, "Exactly, still having a partner, unbelievable!"

Mu Mu really wanted to explain that she wasn't Boss Chen's girlfriend, but with only one mouth, focused on eating meant she couldn't talk, she could only go "unexplained", her little face nearly buried into the big bowl!

Just eating and eating!

Not far away, Mu Xin was gritting his teeth nearly to the point of breaking.

Altogether sold two bowls of noodles, the dumplings ended up in Boss Chen's noodle bowl, the noodles came to himself.

Oh well if others did this.

Even his own daughter did it?

Her mom could put up with it, but her dad couldn't!

"Hey hey, where are you going?" Zhong Xia slurped another bowl of dumpling noodles, she thought it was delicious too, "Weren't you going to secretly watch the daughter?"

"Can't bear to watch anymore!" Mu Xin grimaced, couldn't hold back even for a second.

"Then what are you going to do? What are you going to say to them?"

Mu Xin was stumped by Zhong Xia's question.

Right, how customers eat is their freedom, could he possibly force anyone to eat a certain way?

As for Mu Mu, she didn't really want him to come along. If his daughter saw he'd secretly followed, she'd probably be upset, right?

Fine fine, Mu Xin glared at Boss Chen in the food cart, not knowing why a scene appeared in his mind:

Handsome Boss Chen wielding a frying spoon in the kitchen, with daughter Mu Mu happily standing by expectantly waiting for the food.

Oh no, feels like his great father image is being invaded by little blondie!

Mu Xin immersed in unrealistic fantasies felt secretly distressed, unsure what to do for a moment, the suddenly appearing Maybach and the person getting off interrupted his thoughts.

"Boss Fang? You're... I'll make you a bowl of your favorite dumpling noodles!"

Fang Zhizhong seemed surprised, just got off the car, bumped into someone he knew, took a closer look, isn't that Lao Mu!

Such a big boss, coming out late at night to run a stall?

Cosplay?

"Boss Mu, what's this all about?"

Mu Xin froze for a couple of seconds, then laughed awkwardly, ignoring the other's confusion, "How is it, is Yuanyuan willing to eat these days?"

Fang Zhizhong shook his head, "Still the same, seems like her mom did indeed make a mistake this time, hurt the child's feelings."

Mu Xin appeared very experienced, "Little girls are like that, bring her to our restaurant when not busy, I'll personally prepare some tasty dishes for her."

Fang Zhizhong responded, "Definitely will come."

"By the way, I'll make you a bowl of dumpling noodles, they're delicious."

Fang Zhizhong glanced outside at the long queue by the yellow food cart, "Not today, just had a drink with friends tonight, today I'll have a bowl of our local noodles. Um... Boss Mu, tomorrow I'll go to your restaurant, I'll call you then."

"Alright!"

Seeing Fang Zhizhong also go line up at the yellow food cart, Mu Xin felt even more uneasy.

It must be said, Mu Xin came to Jingzhou to open a restaurant focusing on high-end Cantonese cuisine. Since the opening, business had been quite good, and Boss Fang, being a big boss who often entertained various guests, rare to find a well-done Cantonese restaurant thus became a regular customer.

Every time Boss Fang dined at Mu Xin's restaurant, no matter how much he ate or drank, he'd always end with a bowl of dumpling noodles.

But now...

Fang Zhizhong rubbed his hands standing at the back of the queue, seeing others furiously slurping noodles, followed by a big bite of meat bun, feeling quite satisfied!

He was filled with anticipation too.

From the street's end, watching this scene, Mu Xin suddenly had an idea.

Don't know why, maybe it's the damned competitiveness in men. Mu Xin knew the young guy was just Mu Mu's colleague, but he just wanted to beat him in some way!

"Wife, when Mu Mu finishes work, have the driver come to pick her up."

"What do you mean?" Zhong Xia asked in confusion.

"Don't worry about it."

Mu Xin slightly curled his lips, as if already seeing Boss Chen being defeated by him!
