Chapter 57: She Was More and More Satisfied with Xie Qingxiao

“Yeah,” Grandma Liu said immediately, “My two grandchildren really love to eat your braised food. They cried and said they wanted to eat more. I promised them yesterday that you would come tonight, and they were waiting to eat it in the evening. Who knew you wouldn’t come! If you don’t come tonight, I’m afraid I’ll become a grandmother with no credibility in their eyes!”

It’s said that grandparents love their grandchildren the most. Grandma Liu was most fond of her grandchildren. Yesterday, she was heartbroken when she heard her grandchildren cry.

She was a retired old lady who received a pension every month. She didn’t lack money. Although everyone said she was stingy, she was very generous to her family, especially to her grandchildren.

Lin Xiangyi just smiled and took the braised food that Xie Qingxiao had already prepared. She opened it and added two more duck intestines, saying with a smile: “Grandma, I’m really sorry. We went to another place to sell yesterday, so we didn’t come over. These two duck intestines are for your grandchildren.”

Grandma Liu’s eyes lit up at the free gift, but she said modestly: “Oh, you shouldn’t have! Thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome,” Lin Xiangyi smiled.

Grandma Liu didn’t stay long. She happily took the braised food to her grandchildren.

Lin Xiangyi watched her back with a smile and said to Xie Qingxiao: “Do you believe that this Grandma will bring us a batch of customers later?”

Xie Qingxiao glanced at her, a smile curling up at the corner of his lips: “I believe it.”

This Grandma Liu looked like a kind and warm-hearted person. Since she was old and didn’t need to work, she mostly spent her time strolling around the family compound, so she must have a good network.

Lin Xiangyi had made a good connection with her, so she would definitely help them promote their business when she went back.

Lin Xiangyi smiled and looked at Xie Qingxiao.

She actually enjoyed chatting with Xie Qingxiao because they were mostly on the same wavelength. He knew what she was talking about and could catch her thoughts.

She was becoming more and more satisfied with Xie Qingxiao.

Customers came one after another. Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi stopped talking and got busy.

However, they were right. After a while, Grandma Liu came with several of her neighbors.

She kept saying how delicious their braised food was and how nice they were, strongly recommending her neighbors to buy it.

Of course, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi also gave Grandma Liu face and offered discounts to the people she brought.

Grandma Liu liked them even more.

“Are you selling braised food?” Just when Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were almost done selling, another customer came.

It was three young men and women who were about the same age as Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.

Lin Xiangyi smiled and said: “Yes.”

“I heard you can have free samples? Give us some to taste,” they said.

Lin Xiangyi gave them some to try and said: “Did you come here specially to buy our braised food?”

“Yeah,” they said with a smile: “We are also from the textile factory, but we don’t live in the family compound. Yesterday, we heard someone say that there was someone selling braised food in the family compound, and it was very delicious. So today we came together to have a look.”

They tasted it and were very surprised: “It’s really delicious, give me half a pound.”

“I’ll take two ounces.”

“I’ll take a pound.”

Xie Qingxiao weighed it for them.

These young men and women were nice people. They looked at Lin Xiangyi and then at Xie Qingxiao. They were afraid to talk to Xie Qingxiao, so they leaned closer to Lin Xiangyi and said: “Is this your man? You two look so good together, a perfect match.”

But how did they end up doing business?

These people felt sorry for them and thought they shouldn’t be suffering like this. They looked at Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi with sympathy and admiration. They thought that if it were them, they wouldn’t be able to put their pride aside.

“Yes, he’s my man,” Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.

“Ah? Isn’t there much left?” One of the young men saw that there was nothing left in the pot after they bought it, and he said in surprise.

Xie Qingxiao looked at him and said: “There’s about half a pound left. Do you want it?”

“No, no, it’s not for me. We have another colleague who came with us, but she went to the machinery factory to find her man. Can you save this half pound for her? She has tried your braised food and should be here soon.”

Lin Xiangyi: “Is that so? Then you can just buy this half pound of braised food, and when she comes, she can pay you.”

“But we don’t have that much money, only enough for ourselves,” they said a little embarrassed. Then they remembered something and said: “By the way, it was her who tried your braised food and told us it was delicious, so she asked us to come here to buy it.”

Lin Xiangyi paused when she heard this and looked at Xie Qingxiao. Xie Qingxiao understood what she meant and nodded.

Lin Xiangyi said: “Alright then, since she likes our braised food so much, we will wait for her for a while. But please understand, we live quite far away and need to go back early. So we can only wait for ten minutes. If your colleague doesn’t come after ten minutes, we have to leave.”

“Okay, okay, thank you so much,” the young men were very grateful: “She will definitely be here in ten minutes.”

So Lin Xiangyi and Xie Qingxiao waited with them. Time passed by little by little. Several groups of people came to ask if they had any braised food left.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi both said they didn’t.

“Isn’t there braised food in the pot?” Two particularly strong men noticed that there was still braised food in the pot and their eyes flashed with a fierce look: “Are you afraid that we don’t look like good people, so you don’t want to sell to us?”

The three young men and women were immediately scared and quickly backed away.

Lin Xiangyi also became wary.

Xie Qingxiao walked in front of her and blocked her, casually stroking the scissors that Lin Xiangyi used to cut the braised food for tasting. He looked at the two men expressionlessly, his voice calm and steady: “I said, it’s reserved for someone else.”

But for some reason, they could hear a hint of ruthlessness in his voice.

Seeing that Xie Qingxiao was not someone to be trifled with, the two men’s eyes flickered and they looked at each other. They didn’t say anything and left.

The three young men breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, they saw something and said immediately: “Here she comes, our colleague is here! Huihui, come quickly!”

Lin Xiangyi was about to raise her eyes when she heard the word “Huihui”. Could it be that Huihui she knew?

Speaking of which, Lin Huihui was also from the textile factory.

What a coincidence. It was indeed Lin Huihui and Lu Dingyuan.

Lin Xiangyi wanted to curse.

“Hey, those two big brothers,” Lin Xiangyi decided to stop the two big brothers who hadn’t gone far yet, “Do you still want braised food? There’s half a pound left, I’ll sell it to you.”

What?

The three young men hurriedly asked: “Comrade, didn’t we agree that the remaining braised food would be sold to our colleague?”

“Your colleague is my enemy, I won’t sell it to her!” Lin Xiangyi said decisively, glancing at them and saying: “They are terrible people. I suggest you stay away from them, don’t be fooled by them later.”

Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui had already walked up to them. They were surprised to see that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were the ones selling the braised food.

Although Lin Huihui had tried Lin Xiangyi’s braised food before, she didn’t buy it herself. A colleague gave it to her. She liked it very much and asked her colleague where she bought it. Today, she came here specifically.

It turned out to be Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi who were selling it?

Her face looked very bad.
