The meat vendor initially intended to decline, but upon seeing the seafood fried rice with eggs served by Xiaozhen, he just couldn't bring himself to say no.
The aroma and the color were simply mouth - watering.
He involuntarily swallowed his saliva and then looked at Yuan Tiantian sheepishly.
"I'll not stand on ceremony then."
Yuan Tiantian couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his expression.
Bai Ying had been longing for this breakfast for a long time. When Bai Jingyang came halfway through, planning to have his share, he found there was nothing left in the pot.
"Where's my breakfast?"
Bai Jingyang stared at the table in shock, as if a whirlwind had swept through. There was really nothing left. He felt like crying!
"Hehe, if you're not enthusiastic about meals, there's something wrong with your mindset."
Seeing that Bai Jingyang couldn't get anything to eat today, Bai Ying inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction. He instantly repeated the words he had recently learned from the internet to Bai Jingyang.
Bai Jingyang: "......"
Fine. He had gone to bed late last night, and the alarm didn't wake him up. By the time he woke up again, it was almost eight o'clock. He rushed here as fast as he could, but still arrived too late.
The meat vendor felt a bit embarrassed. He wondered if it was his arrival that had eaten up the young man's breakfast.
However, the food was already in his stomach, so he just sat quietly on one side. It was useless to say anything.
Was he supposed to vomit it out?
"Remember to come earlier next time!"
Bai Ying said proudly. Then he puffed out his chest and started looking for things to do in the store to move around and aid digestion.
Yuan Tiantian found this rather amusing. To be honest, there was actually more food for breakfast today than usual. But perhaps since Bai Ying and the others hadn't eaten much of her cooking in City B and had mostly eaten ready - made food outside, everyone's appetite had increased this morning.
Not only did Bai Ying have a good appetite, but Xiaojiu and Ling also ate half more than usual, while Sheng Jing ate twice as much.
With the addition of the meat vendor, a man with a big appetite, it was no wonder the food was quickly devoured.
After a brief bout of whining, Bai Jingyang had to go back reluctantly after hearing Yuan Tiantian say there would be no more meals.
As for why Yuan Tiantian didn't ask Xiaozhen to make more, she had her reasons.
Since they were back after a week, she planned to cook several more dishes today.
So she needed to get busy early in the morning.
At noon, Bai Jingyang came again. Seeing that there were four more dishes on today's menu, including his favorite sweet and sour pineapple pork, he was so happy that he felt like flying.
"This is delicious. I must order it!"
Bai Jingyang was from City S. Having a sweet tooth was in his genes, just like how people from City S could naturally eat spicy food.
"I'll order all the dishes today!"
Bai Jingyang said with his head held high. Yun Feng sneered when he saw this, and even Bai Jingyang's girlfriend, Cheng Xinyun, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then she looked at him helplessly.
"We three can't finish all these!"
Normally, they could almost finish the dishes, and sometimes there would be a little left, but not much, so it was okay.
But today, with four more dishes, Cheng Xinyun thought they definitely couldn't finish them.
"It's okay. If we really can't finish, we'll pack them up!"
"We'll add some dishes for the landlord later."
He got this idea after seeing what He Yunqin did. Yes, He Yunqin was still here. Her parents and child had come to visit her before and stayed for three days. After eating the food in Sweetie's Food Store, they didn't want to leave.
If it weren't for the fact that He Yunqin had to go to school, they might still be lingering.
However, He Yunqin didn't go back with her parents.
She had a little secret in her heart, which was about the private rooms in Sweetie's Food Store.
During the days when Yuan Tiantian was away, the private rooms were not open. Naturally, He Yunqin ordered and ate in the normal dining hall.
The taste was beyond reproach. In everyone's opinion, this new chef named Xiaozhen had really inherited Yuan Tiantian's skills. The taste of the food was no worse. One could even say it was exactly the same.
However, He Yunqin noticed a problem. That is, the faint sense of pleasure and tranquility she felt when eating in the private room was absent in the normal dining hall.
He Yunqin wanted to see if this was just a psychological effect or a fact, so she didn't leave with her parents at that time.
The private rooms opened today. She had reserved one when she came for dinner last night.
When she sat in the private room, He Yunqin fully understood.
It wasn't an illusion. There really was such a feeling in the private room.
Actually, she wasn't the only one who noticed this. Many people had felt it too, but not as acutely as He Yunqin. After all, she had depression, so her perception in this regard was stronger.
He Yunqin had an idea in her mind.
After the lunch rush in Sweetie's Food Store was over, He Yunqin came to the store. Yuan Tiantian was sitting on a chair outside, taking a break.
She was a bit surprised when she saw He Yunqin coming.
"Miss He, is there anything I can do for you?"
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's question and seeing that there was no one in the store at the moment, He Yunqin asked the question in her heart.
Yuan Tiantian smiled slightly after hearing this.
"Yes, your feeling is correct."
"Because there's a secret weapon in the private rooms."
Saying this, Yuan Tiantian winked playfully and then looked at He Yunqin, slowly explaining.
"Actually, you can just think of it as a relaxing aromatherapy."
Wasn't that exactly what it was? There were many aromatherapy products on the market that could relieve stress and aid sleep. However, the difference was that in the private rooms, it was a lamp, and its function and effect were far better than those aromatherapy products on the market.
"What is it? Can you sell me some?"
Hearing this, He Yunqin's eyes instantly lit up. She really felt extremely comfortable in the private room and really wanted to buy it.
However, Yuan Tiantian couldn't sell this item.
"I'm sorry, it's not for sale. If you really like it, you can stay for a longer time."
Yuan Tiantian could only say this. The main reason was that the fuel of the lamp, purple gold, was a bit special, and she didn't dare to take it out casually.
You know, it was Sheng Jing alone who operated the turning on and off of the lamp every day. She didn't even let Jiang Shen interfere.
Wasn't she being so cautious just to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the special way of turning it on and off?
After getting Yuan Tiantian's answer, He Yunqin instantly looked disappointed. Although Yuan Tiantian also felt sorry, she definitely wouldn't sell it.
At least not for now.
As for whether there would be a possibility in the future, Yuan Tiantian wasn't sure either.
Maybe one day the system store would have relevant items that could be used and circulated in the current market?
No one could say for sure.
"Okay then."
"Sorry to bother you. But if you ever decide to sell it, little boss, you can come to me."
That would surely be okay, but as for when that day would be, she had no idea either.
