He laughed his head off when he heard that.

Xu Ying finished preparing the fried goods and had Liu Guohua serve them.

The entire room filled with the scent of meat, instantly wafting ten miles around. Everyone was drawn to the scent, converging on the side where the duck goods were, gazing at baskets upon baskets of the glistening golden fried food.

They all swallowed their saliva, overwhelmed by the delicious aroma.

“New fried snacks are available! Everyone, come and have a taste, it’s free to try, and only pay if you find them delicious,” Xu Ying called out to the crowd.

The people were hesitant at first, but as soon as they heard they could try for free, they thought, “How could we pass up such a deal?” and a swarm of them rushed over immediately.

“Line up orderly everyone, or else there won’t be enough for anyone to try,” Sun Lifang warned with a stern face.

Hearing this, they all conscientiously started to form a line.

After tasting these delights, everyone’s eyes lit up.

“What is this, and why is it so delicious? Give me one yuan’s worth,” a woman said with sparkling eyes, fixated on the fried mushrooms.

Seeing her liking it, Xu Ying’s face broke into a wide grin, “Oh wow, sister, you like this too? What a coincidence, fried mushrooms are also my favorite. This is a new product today, and you’re the first one to ask for the fried mushrooms. I’ll give you a little extra.”

[Congratulations, host, goodwill value has increased by one, congratulations, host, goodwill value has increased by 1+1+1+1…]

Hearing this, the woman’s face beamed with happiness. She was thrilled and after hesitating for a bit, she also bought one and a half yuan’s worth of crispy meatballs.

Originally, people who just wanted to try a bit, after tasting these fried snacks, started ordering some of each variety.

Some who were reluctant to spend money also got tempted after tasting the snacks and tightly took out some money to buy some, planning to bring it back as a treat for their children.

“I want a portion of these small yellow fish, they look so tasty, give me some extra.”

“I’ll have these crispy meat, I was always stuck with soup before, but today I can finally enjoy it directly. Pack it up, I want to take it home for my family to eat.”

“Master Xiao Xu, give me one yuan’s worth of those fried mushrooms the lady ordered earlier, I found those fried mushrooms especially tasty, so crispy and crunchy.” The best part was they were cheap.

Perhaps because they were fried together with meat, those fried mushrooms also had a hint of meaty flavor.

Buying a portion of fried mushrooms was both affordable and meat-flavored, what a deal.

It didn’t take long for the fried mushrooms to sell out completely.

Xu Ying couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

Listening to the system’s notification, she was beside herself with joy.

[Congratulations, host, goodwill value has increased by 99, additional goodwill value has increased by 87.] Hearing this notification, Xu Ying’s face lit up with surprise and she turned to see a familiar figure approaching.

She ran towards Huo Chen with a sweet smile, “What brings you here?”

Huo Chen replied with a grin, “I had some business in the county and was feeling hungry, so I thought I’d come have a meal.”

Qingsong rolled his eyes from the side, thinking, it’s obvious he’s just missing his wife, yet he won’t admit it.

Upon hearing his words, Xu Ying looked crestfallen, having thought he came specifically to see her, not just for food.

“Oh! Well then, go on and enjoy your meal,” Xu Ying said, then turned back to her work.

Huo Chen stood there, bewildered, and curiously asked, “Is she angry with me?”

Qingsong looked at him disdainfully, “You two are already together, if you miss her, just say so. Why beat around the bush?”

Huo Chen instantly understood the situation.

His face flushing, he walked over to Xu Ying, “I missed you and came to see you.”

Xu Ying rolled her eyes, “Really?”

“Really, really!” Huo Chen stammered, blushing with shyness.

Xu Ying’s face finally relaxed: “We’ve got some new fried dishes, I’ll get you a bit of each one.”

Huo Chen’s lips curled up slightly: “Good.”

Wu Qingsong felt a sourness watching from the side. Although he was with Sister Lan Cao, he always felt she was somewhat distant from him.

Especially when facing their two children, she always seemed to wear a look of guilt.

And Sister Lan Cao was a tough person to deal with, he really didn’t know if he could marry her.

[Congratulations host, goodwill value increased by 99, additional goodwill value increased by 87…]

[Congratulations host, goodwill value has reached 3000, unlocking new recipes: Ham Pizza, Spaghetti, French Braised Beef, Ultimate Steak…]

“Western cuisine?” Xu Ying was somewhat dazed. At present, Chinese people had little to no exposure to Western cuisine, none at all.

What’s wrong with good old Chinese food to warrant Western dishes.

Huo Chen had a big appetite. The large bowl of fried dishes Xu Ying served was quickly polished off by him.

He walked over with the large metal basin, his face filled with restraint. Xu Ying wouldn’t look down on his large appetite, would she? Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to support a family in the future.

But he could earn money.

Xu Ying didn’t even know how much she had in terms of assets.

Now, Huo Chen became anxious and decided to go home and calculate how much money he had. He had to turn over all his earnings to his wife and was determined to work even harder to earn money, firmly refusing to let his wife suffer hardships with him.

And the cooking was too tiring. Her skin was delicate and fair, definitely not suitable for long hours of work in the kitchen. With those big fumes, it was surely uncomfortable; he had to work even harder to earn money.

Huo Chen walked over with the basin, his lips slightly parted: “I’m not full yet!”

Xu Ying had anticipated he wouldn’t be full, so she took the basin and swapped it for another large one.

The people in the restaurant were already used to it, but Gao Guihua was curious about the relationship between the two.

She tiptoed closer to Xu Ying with a cloth in hand: “Xu Ying, that young man has been coming to find you every day for a few days now.

Is he your boyfriend?”

Xu Ying shot her a cold glance, and Gao Guihua jumped at the icy look, shrinking her neck but not backing away.

Xu Ying nodded slightly.

Gao Guihua’s expression visibly changed.

“Aren’t you not interested in finding a partner? Why suddenly are you dating?”

Xu Ying glanced at her: “What’s it to you who I date?”

Gao Guihua gave an awkward smile: “I was just thinking of introducing you to someone.

Xu Ying, do consider it, their family is well-off. If you marry into their family, you’ll definitely lead a good life without needing to cook.

You can just stay at home and spend the money.” Gao Guihua became more and more excited, then slowly turned towards the coldness, shut her mouth sulkily.

Huo Chen had an icy expression, his lips pressed into a line, and a storm was brewing in his eyes. His voice, dark with anger: “She has a boyfriend.”

“Oh, I, I was just saying!” Gao Guihua trembled under his cold gaze, the man’s presence was just too overwhelming.

Especially seeing the chopsticks in Huo Chen’s hand snapped into several pieces, she swallowed.

Although their restaurant’s chopsticks were wooden and well-made, normally it would take both hands to break them. This man lightly snapped the chopsticks with a flick of his fingers.

How strong must he be!

“I, I’m going to leave now, you two, take your time to chat!” Gao Guihua said and ran off.

Huo Chen watched her retreating figure, still filled with anger, but when he turned his head to look at Xu Ying, all the rage disappeared, and his eyes filled with grievance and insecurity.
