Chapter 428 Smooth Opening

"This……"

Grandma Mi was a little hesitant. Her granddaughter was rarely so happy, and she didn't have the heart to interrupt. Perhaps…

"Luo Zhi, old woman, I won't charge you for the room. Can you let Song Yin play with your little child?"

As if she had made a great decision, Granny Mi gritted her teeth and said.

My granddaughter's happiness is the most important thing. We're not really starving anyway. What's money compared to my granddaughter?

Songyin's eyes were bright. When she heard what Grandma Mi said, she rushed into her arms, her big eyes blinking as if she was hoping for Wen Luozhi's agreement.

"No," Wen Luozhi refused sternly. Before Granny Mi and Song Yin could even feel disappointed, she said, "The rent for this place should be whatever amount is due. There's no reason not to accept it."

She laughed and said, "It's no fun for Xiao Yan to play alone. If Song Yin is willing and you don't mind leaving her with me, please feel free to do so."

Song Yin's face visibly brightened from overcast to partly cloudy, and Helian Zhiyan happily took her hand.

"Thank you... thank you, sister," Songyin said softly, the little girl shyly tugging at the hem of her clothes. Wen Luozhi looked at Granny Mi with some surprise.

"I didn't tell her, but this little girl has been clever since she was a child and is very observant," Granny Mi said with a smile as she waved her hand when she saw her looking over.

The first time I saw Wen Luozhi, the little girl was hiding behind the wall; I don't know how she figured it out.

Wen Luozhi nodded knowingly. Grandma Mi squatted down, took Songyin's hand, and instructed her, "When there are other people around, you can't call her 'sister,' you have to call her 'uncle.' Do you understand, Grandma?"

Song Yin blinked and gave a heavy "Mmm!"

Grandma Mi didn't want to delay anyone's business, so she just asked where Wen Luozhi and the others were setting up their stall, saying she would pick up Songyin at noon.

"I'll take you to the street to eat our family's Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe), it's fragrant, crispy, and delicious!"

Helian Zhiyan excitedly pulled Songyin outside, but when they reached the door, the little girl suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Wen Luozhi, and then pursed her lips.

"What's wrong?" Wen Luozhi patted her head, paused for a moment, and said softly, "Xiao Yan said Song Yin's face is pretty, and I think so too."

"If anyone mentions our Songyin when we go out later, Xiaoyan will definitely be the first to disagree."

After she finished speaking, Helian Zhiyan brandished her little fist fiercely and said, "Yes! I'm the first to disagree!"

The little girl took a handful of candy from her small handbag and stuffed it into Songyin's purse.

Then he pulled out a small, exquisite slingshot and said with a grin, "If anyone criticizes you later, I'll use this to slap them in the mouth and knock their teeth out."

Songyin was amused by her and giggled. The two little girls walked in front, while Wen Luozhi watched from behind and gave them directions.

When they arrived at the agreed-upon location on East Street, Fang Da and his group had already set up the makeshift tent and arranged their things, and were now waiting for the charcoal to be lit.

"What are you selling here? With eggs and meat, it must be expensive, right?"

An old man was leading a boy who was about half a year old. The boy was drooling as he looked at the sausages that hadn't been fried yet.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! I want to eat!" The child started making a fuss even before they knew what food was being sold.

Wei Yi stood to the side, holding the template with words written on it, and said, "Ours is called Jianbing Guozi. The price is clearly marked, no matter what you add. We're honest with everyone!"

He smiled and explained to the onlookers that he had learned the words on the wooden board just yesterday, but fortunately his memory was good and he had already memorized them.

"Master, I told you this place was crowded!" Fang Er said smugly.

He used to like to wander around here when he was hungry, but his purpose was to sneak some food.

Wen Luozhi gave him an approving look, while the old man over there was already urging them on.

"Give me one of these, fifteen coins' worth, half meat and half vegetables, and hurry up, this brat can't wait!"

He slapped the child to tell him to be quiet, otherwise the people behind wouldn't be able to hear what Wei Yi was saying.

The first group, including Fang Da, dared not make a move, fearing that if they messed it up, the diners would be scared away.

Wen Luozhi took the tools and quickly spread out the dough in a few blinks. People in front of the stall smelled a fragrant aroma of caramel and meat.

The so-called "half vegetable and half meat" means that you need both vegetables and meat. When the vegetables and meat are wrapped together, the pancake is bulging and looks like someone who has eaten too much meat.

Wen Luozhi cut the pancake in half, and the onlookers' eyes lit up when they saw that it contained both meat and vegetables.

"Fifteen coins, be careful, it's hot!"

Fang Er handed the cake over with both hands, and the child was quite sensible, waiting for his uncle to pay before taking it.

"Ooh!" He took a big bite of the half-eaten pancake, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and then took a second bite, a third bite...

Seeing how quickly he was eating, his uncle quickly handed him a water bottle. "Have some water, have some water! You little rascal, you're eating like a starving ghost!"

He said with a smile, thinking that this "Jianbing Guozi" must taste pretty good; he could tell it was special just by smelling it.

The child took a sip of water before saying to his uncle, "Grandpa, you eat that half, it's so delicious! It's really so delicious!"

Upon hearing and seeing how much he enjoyed his meal, and with the added aroma of the food, those around him couldn't resist any longer.

"Hey bro, give me a full-course meal to try."

"Okay!" Wen Luozhi replied with a smile, her hands moving quickly.

Even though the vegetarian version contains pickled vegetable shreds and dried vegetables, it still needs to be sprinkled with a thin layer of pork floss to make it taste better.

The man was astonished to find that an egg was included in something that cost ten coins. When Fang Er took the money, he checked twice to make sure it was indeed ten coins.

He took a bite of half of it, chewing for a long time before swallowing it.

"Hmm! It smells good!"

He gave Fang Da and the others a thumbs up and said, "Give me another one with all meat, I'll take it back for my wife!"

It was done and wrapped up in no time, and he finished his whole vegetable dish.

"I should have skipped dinner and saved the money to eat this."

He muttered to himself as he walked, and those who were hesitant, seeing him eating and carrying things, also wanted to buy some to try.

Most people buy the whole dish first, and if it's not good, they add an egg, so it's not too bad.

The old man left with a whole meat dish and a half meat and half vegetable dish. More and more people gathered in front of the stall, and Wen Luozhi only took over after finishing the first wave of customers.

Fang Er's grin stretched almost to his ears as he received the money. Wei Yi, standing beside him, talked non-stop, his eloquent manner making Wen Luozhi sigh that it was a real shame he wasn't in sales.

Helian Zhiyan and Songyin were eating canned fruit on the side, and in the end, they still had half a can of sugar water left that they couldn't finish.

"Uncle Wei, have some water."

Helian Zhiyan handed over the jar with a smile. Wei Yi was a little surprised but still took it. He was indeed very thirsty after talking for so long.

"Thank you!" he said, tilting his head back to drink the water from the jar.

The sweet syrup, with its fruity aroma, made him pause after taking a sip, watching Helian Zhiyan's eyes widen slightly.

"Is it delicious? Uncle Wei has worked hard, so I'm giving it all to you." Helian Zhiyan's expression was incredibly sincere, and his obedient look softened Wei Yi's heart.

"It's delicious! You're all good kids." He choked up as he wiped his eyes, and Songyin, as if possessed, raised her hand and patted his back.

Wei Yi grinned at her, took a couple of sips of the sweet soup, and continued hawking his wares.

"Come and see! Come and buy! Freshly made jianbing guozi! It's delicious and inexpensive, with meat and eggs..."
