Bai Dan originally wanted to ask why Bai Zhi suddenly wanted to buy a stove, but seeing his granddaughter's expression, drooling, he wondered if she was craving dumplings?
Even when it wasn't a market day, there were small diners in town. There were two of them— one specialized in braised fatty intestines served with buns and porridge, along with cold dishes and marinated foods...
The other served dumplings, rice noodles, and conventional noodles, and of course, the dumplings came with stir-fried dishes and fish…
Each had its own appeal. He thought, considering the hardships Xingxing went through this time, shouldn't he treat her to a meal?
He had enough money for a meal, and after all, Xingxing had always loved eating, yet she wasn't picky at all— she would eat whatever was given to her! Couldn't be more obedient!
"Xingxing, how about Grandpa takes you out for dumplings? We can also order some poached chicken in pepper and sesame oil," he suggested.
