Chapter 261 Entering the Restaurant



Chapter 261 Entering the Restaurant

Zhou Guo became impatient. She felt it was a pain to say any more words to such a person. The man opposite her smiled in a servile manner and stretched out his hand to her.

She looked at him expressionlessly, and when the other person was about to touch her face, she took action, firmly grasped his hoof with one hand, and broke it down in front of his astonished eyes.

"Ah!!!" The screams echoed in the alley.

Zhou Guo stretched out his foot and kicked again, and there was another scream.

Thinking about what he just said and his filthy smile, I couldn't help but slap him twice, leaving two clearly visible finger marks and blood on his lips.

The screams were endless.

Looking at the person lying on the ground, not daring to move, she glanced at him with disdain. This person is too useless. He is scared after just two hits? She only used 10% of her strength.

He stepped on his hand, bent down and began to search him. This search was extraordinary. He found three purses and four jade pendants. He took them up and looked at them carefully. All of them were of good quality and must be valuable items.

There are bags of small change in the purse.

She put them all in her arms, haha, they are all hers!

The man's eyes went dark. Was he being robbed by his own gang?

She cried and begged for mercy, "Master, master, I am blind and have offended you. Please at least leave me a little. That purse is mine. It is made by my eighty-year-old mother. Please at least leave it to me. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child to feed. I cannot be without a penny."

Zhou Guo took out one of them and shook it. "Is this what you are talking about?"

The man's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, this is it, this is it. Look at this gray and ugliest one. My mother sewed it for me. The other two are for you. You have to give me back mine."

Zhou Guo sneered and nodded, pouring all the contents of the purse into the bag in front of him, leaving an empty bag behind. He kindly placed the purse on him and said generously, "Okay, I'll leave this purse to you."

Saying that, he turned around and left.

Don't think she can't see it. The material of this purse is the best among the several ones. Although it is gray, it is satin with faint dark patterns in it. It flashes at certain angles in the sun, which is terrible at first glance. It is not good to keep such a thing on the body. If he wants it, just give it to him.

The man behind him was dumbfounded when he saw the empty purse lying on his body. He was only left with one purse!

He looked at the person walking away with hatred, his eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

As soon as Zhou Guo walked out, he ran into Zhou Dacang, who was sweating profusely.

I slapped my thigh and thought, oops, I forgot about my uncle.

"Are you okay? Did you catch the thief?" Zhou Dacang looked her up and down, fearing that she would suffer a loss.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's okay, I got it back. I gave him a good lesson so he wouldn't dare to steal money. Come on, uncle, we can have a good meal tonight."

Thinking about the two extra money bags and four pieces of jade, Zhou Guo was in a very good mood. Just now, she felt that even though she brought three hundred taels of silver, she was still a pauper.

But now that he had made such a sudden fortune, he felt extremely rich and wanted to go out for a feast.

As expected, money that comes too easily will not be cherished. Only money that is earned bit by bit with hard work can be kept. Although most of the money they made before was picked up, it was earned at the cost of their lives.

Zhou Dacang listened and looked at her suspiciously. Seeing her happy face, he suddenly understood what she meant. He looked around and pulled her away.

Zhou Guo let him pull her along, and after they had walked two streets together, Zhou Dacang asked, "Did you search through everything on him?"

Zhou Guo grinned and nodded, saying, "I found three money bags on him, one was mine, and two were from others, as well as four jade pendants, all of which I took."

"Didn't you leave any for him?" Zhou Dacang was curious.

Zhou Guo thought about it, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Of course I kept it."

Seriously speaking, that purse is worth a lot of money.

Zhou Dacang felt relieved, but he still had to leave some money for them. They were not thieves or robbers, so how could they take away all the things? Even if he could only leave a penny, that would be good.

Now that they had the money, they spent no time at noon and went into the restaurant they had never dared to enter. They ordered a few signature dishes, including squirrel mandarin fish, crystal pork elbow, braised lion head, steamed pork with rice flour, fried rattan, a chicken soup, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

They were all delicious fish and meat, some of which Zhou Dacang had never seen or even heard of.

Looking at this table full of delicious dishes, I didn’t know how to pick up my chopsticks.

Zhou Guo started eating without any hesitation, and the first thing he took was the steamed pork with rice flour.

The soft, glutinous and fragrant steamed pork with rice flour has always been her favorite. She has loved it since her last life. She picked up a piece and ate it. It was fresh, fragrant and delicious, melted in the mouth, fat but not greasy. Her eyes lit up after just one bite. The steamed pork with rice flour made by this restaurant is definitely the best steamed pork with rice flour she has ever eaten. No wonder the business is so good. There are so many people even though it is not meal time.

Zhou Dacang took a bite and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhou Guo said: "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?" It's quite delicious.

Zhou Dacang shook his head and said after a while, "It's delicious. When our family was well off, your grandmother often made this for Chinese New Year. It was eaten up in no time after it was served. This is her best dish and the most favorite dish in our family."

Zhou Guo stopped eating the steamed pork with rice flour, and after a while he said, "I didn't expect grandma could make steamed pork with rice flour. Uncle, have I ever eaten it?"

Zhou Dacang said with a smile, "Of course you have eaten it. Although you were dumb and couldn't even speak at that time, you liked this dish the most. Every time your mother fed you, other dishes would stay in your mouth for a while, but only this steamed pork with rice flour would be swallowed after chewing a few times, and then you would open your mouth and wait to be fed. Your brothers all said that you looked dumb, but you were actually very smart and could pick out the best food to eat. Your grandmother loved you the most and always saved some for you."

Zhou Guo also laughed, but when she thought of the old lady, her face darkened again. Her grandmother was indeed the best to her. It was really rare for such an ancient feudal society to treat a mentally retarded child like her like this.

It's such a pity that they were about to enjoy their retirement, but they passed away. Both of their old people are gone. This will probably be the biggest regret in her life.

Thinking of this, I let out a long sigh.

Zhou Dacang looked at the dish on the table and was speechless. He was afraid that tears would fall if he opened his mouth.

Zhou Guo was silently sad for a while, then he pulled himself together, looked at the delicious food on the table, and picked up a braised lion's head for Zhou Da Cang who was standing beside him, "Uncle, try this. The guys said it's braised lion's head. Listen, what a domineering name. It smells delicious. Try it and see if it tastes good."
