Chapter 97 The Old Times She Didn’t Know

After waiting for a long time, the first customer finally came.

An old lady who was out buying groceries passed by and walked up to me and looked at me for a long time.

The dishes on display looked good and the hygiene conditions inside the store were also very good.

He nodded secretly, pointed at a few things and said:

"I want a meat bun, two vegetable buns, three steamed buns, and two fried dough sticks."

I originally wanted to buy two servings of soy milk and a bowl of noodle soup, but for takeout of this kind of soup, customers need to prepare their own lunch boxes, otherwise they usually eat in the restaurant.

The old lady was in a hurry to go to the vegetable market and had no time to sit down and eat slowly.

I asked Yun Qiuying about the specific business hours, thinking of bringing lunch boxes over tomorrow to pack up.

After the first customer came to try the new product, crowds of onlookers also came in one after another.

Each person didn't buy much, just one or two to try the taste.

Or if you don't have time to make breakfast, buy some and take it home for emergency use.

Around seven in the morning, Lu Xun came with his family to show his support.

Although Yun Qiuying did not deliberately publicize it, everyone lived in the county town and had a lot of interactions over the years, so they basically knew about any major events in anyone's family.

There are 4 tables in the breakfast shop, each table can seat 4 to 6 people, and they are all empty at the moment.

Lu Xun's family directly filled two of the tables.

Mother Lu is used to being frugal and has never thought of buying breakfast before.

So as soon as I sat down, I started to wonder: "Why not just eat at home? What's so good about eating out? It's a waste of money."

Father Lu was full of curiosity: "The environment looks good, and the food is also very good. Let's try it. After all, it's my son's treat."

Lu Xun planned to order one portion of all kinds of food and a bowl of noodle soup for each person.

Mother Lu glared at him and stopped him,

"Can you finish all this? You can share a bowl of noodle soup between the two of you, and order one of the other things each and share them."

Lu Xun couldn't persuade his mother and could only order food according to her arrangements.

Yun Qiuying was busy at the stove and the meal was brought by Xu Changhe.

All the dishes look great in presentation, making your mouth water at first sight.

The buns are very big, about the size of an adult's open palm.

After breaking it open, the filling is full and the juice is slightly overflowing. The rich aroma of the marinated meat and the fresh fragrance of the vegetables are intertwined, instantly awakening the hungry stomach.

He swallowed and took a bite to taste it.

The complex and layered flavor spreads across your mouth all at once.

The crust is soft and the taste is rich. Even the most picky eaters can't find any fault with such a delicacy.

Feeling thirsty, he scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon.

The broth, which has been simmered for five hours, is delicious and rich, with a slight aftertaste after swallowing.

The main ingredient of Qiong-style noodle soup is rice noodles, which are wide, flat and easy to chew. They are basically the same as the rice noodles used in stir-fried beef noodles, but the names are different in different regions.

The noodle soup also contains fried peanuts, fish cakes, lean meat, bean sprouts and vegetables, which are rich in ingredients and mild in taste.

Locals love this kind of breakfast the most. One bowl of it warms the stomach and fills the stomach.

Lu Xun's parents are old, and they feel most comfortable eating this.

Mother Lu, who had been frowning and reluctant at first, now looked satisfied as she enjoyed the food. When she heard Lu Xun ordering again, she did not raise any objections.

Not only they were impressed by Yun Qiuying's cooking skills, many customers dining in the restaurant also praised her highly.

Seeing this, those who were planning to take out gritted their teeth and ordered some more.

Not long after, Yun Shengnian also came with his wife and children, and the family of four was there.

Mainly because I was worried that the business would be bad right after the opening, I came here specifically to help my second sister to boost the business.

But when I got there, I was stunned. The situation inside the store was much better than I expected.

Yunzhen entered the study at 7 o'clock today, and came here specifically to show concern for the start of her great-aunt's career.

I didn't expect to meet my grandparents when they were young, as well as my father and second uncle when they were young!

In Yunzhen's memory, this was the first time she saw her grandmother alive.

Because her grandmother Lin Yuchun passed away due to illness when she was about one year old, she had no chance to spend time with her, let alone leave any impression on her.

It is said that my grandmother had an unsuccessful childbirth when she was young, which left her with sequelae. She was always frail and sickly afterwards and passed away just after she turned 50.

My grandfather never remarried, but he lived with a widow for a while three or four years after my grandmother passed away.

The two spent 5 years together, and then the widow suddenly left for another place, and my grandfather lived alone.

Although Yunzhen is the eldest granddaughter, she does not have a deep relationship with her grandfather.

Grandpa Yun Shengnian is a gentle and honest man, and also a person with traditional ideas.

Compared to the girl Yun Zhen, grandpa values ​​his second uncle's son Yun Jiarui more.

Mother Yun had a difficult labor when giving birth to Yun Zhen, and her body was damaged after heavy bleeding.

The doctor said it would be difficult to get pregnant again and that I might only have this one daughter in my lifetime.

Dad Yun thought that having one child would be a great thing, and that this daughter would be the most precious treasure to them, so he looked up the name "Yun Zhen" in the dictionary.

Zhen means perfection.

It means that with this daughter, life is already perfect and complete.

But my grandfather couldn't understand it and felt that the eldest son should have a son.

He persuaded Yun's mother to take care of her body and find a way to have another child.

Mother Yun took Chinese medicine for a period of time, and her complexion became worse.

The pressure of having a child weighs on my shoulders, and I become listless and unhappy.

Yun's father was very distressed and threw away all the Chinese medicines. He lied to Grandpa and said that he had been sterilized and that this was his only daughter from now on.

Grandpa was very unhappy, but he didn't force it at that time.

Later, when Yun Jiarui was born from my second uncle's family, my grandfather felt relieved.

Now that I have a grandson, I should have no regrets.

In fact, Grandpa didn't ask for anything else. He treated Yunzhen's family in a normal manner, without being mean or harsh. He just favored his grandson more.

But after the widow without a legitimate status moved in, the peace of the Yun family was broken.

The widow was good at sweet talk and incitement, and she instilled in my grandfather many ideas of favoring boys over girls.

She said that the family property could only be left to her grandson and could not be taken away by the girl to benefit outsiders.

Since Mr. Yun has no children, the property should be left to Yun Jiarui.

The widow also has a good-for-nothing son who wants to change his surname and join the Yun family, planning to inherit Yun's father's supermarket together in the future.

Grandpa Yun was so beguiled at the time that he actually went to ask Dad Yun for this matter.

The father and son had a big fight, and it was the great aunt who stepped out to mediate.

After that, Yun's father changed his daughter's name to "Yun Zhen".

"Zheng" means the main pillar.

What I mean is that my daughter is no worse than anyone else, she is the only pillar of the family!

At the same time, he was also telling everyone that his property would only be left to this daughter.

In the following years, the widow acted like a demon several times again. Father Yun really hated her, so he teamed up with his great aunt to drive her away.

Grandpa Yun is old and conservative. Considering that he will need his children and grandchildren to support him in his old age, he stops making trouble.

At this time, Yunzhen looked at the young family in the bookcase.

Their aged faces can't help but appear in my mind.

Things in the world are unpredictable and change over the years, and we have no control over them.

And those old times that she didn't know about were now vividly unfolding before her eyes.
