Chashan looked up at the prince’s expression and said, “This servant knows.”
Li Hongyuan was taken aback, “What do you know?”
“The prince doesn’t need to say anything, this servant understands.”
He happily went out.
Jiang Ning and He Tang were eating when they saw Chashan enter and call out the noodle shop owner.
Jiang Ning watched them.
He Tang asked, “Do you know him?”
“I’ve seen him before.” I always felt that he looked familiar, but where have I met him before?
Huang Ying leaned in to remind her, “That is the prince’s attendant, called Chashan.”
Jiang Ning remembered.
In a little while, the noodle shop owner came in beaming and announced on the spot: “The noodle shop is closing. Today, everyone’s noodles are on the house, free!”
In the noodle shop, besides Jiang Ning’s table, there were only a few people.
Everyone had almost finished their meals, and hearing the announcement of the shop closing and offering free noodles, they were naturally happy and quickly got up and left.
He Tang was unhappy, saying, “We haven’t finished yet.”
“Hey, I’m not even charging you, and you’re still not leaving?” The noodle shop owner saw that He Tang was wearing a robe and looked like a scholar, so he spoke politely, “You can go elsewhere to eat.”
He Tang took out a copper coin and placed it on the table, saying, “I’ll pay. I want to finish my noodles here. As the owner, you can’t be unreasonable, right? Who chases their customers out halfway through a meal? Do you still want this shop sign?”
“I don’t!” The owner was annoyed, “I have something going on at home and need to close early. You, a scholar, are so unreasonable!”
Seeing that a quarrel was about to start, Jiang Ning quickly said, “Forget it, why are you arguing with him? Everyone has their difficulties.”
“This young lady here is reasonable.”
“It’s because of too many dishonest merchants like you that the world is getting worse!” Although He Tang was dissatisfied, he had to leave with Jiang Ning due to her intervention.
He Tang said, “I promised to treat you, but it ended like this. I’m sorry.”
After coming out, He Tang apologized.
Jiang Ning laughed, “I’m already full.”
He Tang pushed Jiang Ning along the street and suddenly said, “There’s a shop selling osmanthus cake up ahead. You love it so much, I’ll go buy some for you to take with you.”
He went over to ask the shopkeeper to pack some, but as soon as the shopkeeper saw He Tang, he refused directly, “Sorry, they are sold out.”
He Tang frowned, “But you still have so many here?”
“These are reserved for other customers.”
“Who?”
“Other guests.”
“I’ll just buy two pieces.”
“Not even one,” the shopkeeper said, “You can try elsewhere.”
“You… forget it.”
He saw a candied hawthorn stall nearby and went over, “Give me one.”
“Sold out.”
“What?” He Tang suddenly roared, “There are so many left. Are you saying I’m blind?”
“They’ve all been bought by others. I’m really sorry, you can try elsewhere.” The old man selling candied hawthorns was shaking and looked like he could be blown away by a louder voice.
He Tang was angry and helpless.
Jiang Ning pushed the wheelchair over, “What’s wrong?”
“Today is really strange, everything I want to buy is sold out.” He frowned, “I pass by here every day, and it’s never been like this.”
Jiang Ning looked at the stall owners.
They all seemed to have guilty expressions.
Thinking of Chashan they met at the noodle shop…
Jiang Ning laughed, “It’s just some snacks. If they’re sold out, they’re sold out. Is it worth getting angry about?”
“You used to love osmanthus cakes and candied hawthorns the most. Whenever I had some spare change, I would buy them for you.” He Tang’s voice became softer as he spoke, “You even said that you would let me buy osmanthus cakes for you for a lifetime..”
