Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 343: Delicious Duck Necks—Silent With Every Bite
She looked up and saw a row of people squatting under the wall in the distance, basking in the sun.
It was Chen Tieshan and his group of little brothers.
Su Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched; why did this scene make her want to throw a penny at their feet?
"Comrade Su, let’s go, let’s eat."
Su Xiaoxiao originally thought he was waiting for her at the national restaurant, but unexpectedly, he came directly to pick her up.
A group of differently-looking men followed Chen Tieshan’s pace and gathered around.
Making her inexplicably feel like it was an apocalypse with zombies surrounding her.
Su Xiaoxiao was somewhat skeptical if Chen Tieshan accepted his little brothers based on his standards, like they couldn’t be better looking than him?
Lost in wild thoughts, she instinctively followed him to the entrance of the national restaurant.
Chen Meilan had gone out in the morning, and by the time they arrived, she was already waiting at the door.
Seeing a group of big men swaggering towards her, she was also taken aback.
If it weren’t for seeing Su Xiaoxiao and Chen Tieshan, she almost thought she had run into some trouble.
A group of people entered the national restaurant; as soon as they walked in, the originally bustling restaurant instantly became as quiet as a chicken.
Everyone turned their heads to look at them in unison, with eyes full of shock and panic.
However, a young female waitress serving dishes raised her eyebrows and said to the group angrily: "Why don’t you hurry upstairs, what are you standing here for? Pretending to be door gods? Haven’t you noticed you’re scaring the guests?"
The waitress’s tone was unapologetic, and Su Xiaoxiao quietly gave her a thumbs up.
Though she knew Chen Tieshan was just a paper tiger and not as intimidating as he seemed.
But the first time seeing this guy with a group of fierce-looking little brothers, it was impossible not to be scared.
"Got it, we’ll go up right away."
Chen Tieshan replied without backbone and led the way upstairs.
The few little brothers silently followed him, even their footsteps were deliberately lightened.
Su Xiaoxiao felt like something wasn’t quite right about this situation; why did Chen Tieshan look like a loyal dog meeting its master?
Before she could figure this out, the door of the private room was pushed open, it was the waitress from earlier.
Zhang Xiaohong walked in expressionlessly, her gaze landing on Chen Tieshan, extending her hand: "Where are my peach crisps that you bought for me?"
Upon hearing the words peach crisps, Chen Tieshan visibly panicked for a moment, stammering speechlessly.
Zhang Xiaohong put her hands on her hips: "Alright, Chen Tieshan, are you trying to fool me again? I’ve been waiting all morning for your peach crisps, did you give them to some lover?"
Chen Tieshan glanced at the prying eyes behind him, took a step forward, lowered his voice to beg: "Honghong, I’m the eldest here, please give me some face in front of so many people, can we talk outside?"
Zhang Xiaohong snorted coldly, opened the door and went out first, Chen Tieshan immediately followed like a little wife.
Su Xiaoxiao watched in shock, where was the ruthless black market boss?
This... seemed like the tiger had suddenly turned into Hello Kitty?
Just... very hard to evaluate.
"The boss is really in trouble now, I specially reminded him this morning to remember to buy peach crisps for the sister-in-law, how come he forgot again?"
Wang Shengli stood by, looking frustrated.
Wait, peach crisps?
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, could it be that the peach crisps Chen Tieshan gave her this morning were meant for his lover?
The peach crisps were still in her bag, whether to take them out or not was a dilemma.
This Chen Tieshan, giving away the gift meant for his lover to others, he really puts her in an awkward spot?
As she was feeling conflicted, Wang Shengli next to her reached out and poked her arm: "Comrade Su, I forgot to introduce earlier, that was our sister-in-law, they’ll be back after saying a few words, no need to worry."
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to say she wasn’t worried, just felt the peach crisps in her bag were a bit hot.
Receiving peach crisps from someone else’s lover, she felt somewhat uneasy.
Thinking about it, she reached into her bag and took out a few duck necks.
Wondering if using these duck necks as compensation would be okay?
As she was pondering, Wang Shengli noticed the duck necks in her hand and looked disdainful: "Comrade Su, if you want to eat duck meat, shall I order a roast duck for you later? These duck necks have no meat and don’t taste good, not worth eating."
While ordering earlier, he noticed the small blackboard at the national restaurant displayed roast duck today.
He assumed someone with Su Xiaoxiao’s capabilities must have good living conditions, but turns out he was wrong.
Is it that she can’t afford meat and only eats duck necks?
These duck necks have little meat, usually, no one buys them, he certainly doesn’t fancy them.
Ah, no wonder Comrade Su is as thin as noodles, turns out she’s unable to afford meat.
Wang Shengli imagined in his mind, now looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a few more hints of sympathy.
Su Xiaoxiao felt uneasy being watched like this, seeing him staring directly at the duck necks in her hand, instantly understood.
Turns out he was craving these.
She had a stockpile in her small storage space, how about doing a favor?
Immediately, she generously stuffed one into Wang Shengli’s hand, smiling: "Brother Wang, this duck neck tastes quite good, here, give it a try."
She was good-looking, with a smile that made the light in the room seem dimmer.
Wang Shengli was dazzled by her smile, before he realized it, his hand was already uncontrollably tearing open the duck neck’s packaging paper.
The spicy and fragrant aroma instantly spread throughout the room, everyone’s eyes fell on Wang Shengli.
Seeing the duck neck in his hand, they curiously asked: "Brother Wang, what are you eating? It smells delicious."
Wang Shengli didn’t expect the duck neck to smell so good, the aroma alone made his mouth water.
Su Xiaoxiao saw everyone looking, and didn’t feel right giving Wang Shengli special treatment, so she generously took out a big handful of duck necks from her bag, one for each person: "Come on, everyone try this, it’s duck necks I brought back from a business trip, there are spicy and sweet-and-sour flavors, feel free to choose, don’t be polite."
Seeing that it’s all bones, people were initially a bit reluctant, but the aroma was too tempting, the group was eager to try.
The room soon echoed with the sound of ripping packaging, and soon everyone was chewing on a duck neck.
While they were chewing enthusiastically, the door was pushed open.
Chen Tieshan walked in with spring in his steps, upon closer inspection, there was still some lipstick mark on his cheek.
Clearly, he was getting cozy with his lover just now.
Seeing the group gnawing on bones, he was momentarily stunned.
"Who asked for duck necks? These things have no meat, what’s so good about them?"
Comrade Su is his God of Wealth, how can he be so stingy? If they order, it should be roast duck, right?
