Chapter 314 - Sending Lobster

Little Cui also knew her manners well and was aware that Chen Yang was her father’s friend.

She politely came out and poured Chen Yang a glass of water.

“My dad might take a while to come over.

Please have some water first.”

Chen Yang looked up at her and then nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

Chen Yang took the glass and had a sip.

Then Little Cui went back to the front desk to continue her work.

As Chen Yang drank the water, he looked around the store and from time to time glanced at Little Cui.

Although Little Cui’s presence wasn’t particularly outstanding, she was very good-looking indeed.

And her figure wasn’t half bad either.

When she turned around to go back to the counter earlier, Chen Yang had instinctively taken a look at Little Cui’s figure.

It was just a tiny bit shy of Nizi’s devilish figure.

But that was already pretty perfect.

After all, not everyone can be like Nizi, slim all over…

with the right assets being impressively large…

It was almost like something out of a comic book.

“It’s also good luck that she met me, otherwise such a beautiful flower would have been wasted on cow dung.”

Chen Yang shook his head with a smile and murmured to himself.

Little Cui at the counter was engrossed in calculating accounts and didn’t hear a word of Chen Yang’s muttering.

Chen Yang sat in the store waiting, and after about ten minutes or so, Little Cui’s father arrived.

Seeing Chen Yang, a wry smile appeared on Little Cui’s father’s face.

“Sir, you’re here.”

Chen Yang looked at him, his expression somewhat haggard, as if he had been through a severe illness.

It seemed that the matter of marrying Little Cui to Wang Lao Si because of the dragon lobsters had weighed heavily on his mind.

“Yeah, I’m here.”

Chen Yang stood up with a smile.

“Sir, have you come to eat today?”

the old man asked.

“Of course not.”

Chen Yang shook his head, “Today, I came to bring you dragon lobsters!”

“Bring dragon lobsters?”

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately remembered his previous exchange with Chen Yang.

Back then, Chen Yang had talked a lot with him and hinted at the desire to supply him with dragon lobsters.

He hadn’t expected it to really happen.

With this thought, the old man chuckled twice and then asked, “Sir, where are your dragon lobsters?”

“At the back door.”

Chen Yang pointed to the rear and said.

“Alright, let’s go take a look.”

The old man was decisive, not dragging his feet at all.

He followed Chen Yang straight to the back door.

As they stepped outside, Chen Yang led the old man to the tricycle and pulled off the canvas covering the cargo bed.

Revealing the lively jumping dragon lobsters inside.

“Just take a look for yourself.

They should be the same kind as those from Wang Lao Si,” Chen Yang said indifferently.

The old man’s initial expression was quite normal.

But upon seeing Chen Yang’s dragon lobsters, his eyes widened immediately.

As a night snack vendor, he naturally could tell the quality of the lobsters.

“These really are the lively dragon lobsters from Wang Lao Si!” the old man exclaimed and then immediately leaned in to grab one out, looking it over carefully in his palm.

“Hehe, of course, they are.

How could I scam you?”

Chen Yang had been unsure himself but burst into laughter upon the old man’s remark.

After the old man examined the lobster carefully and was convinced it was the real deal, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “These dragon lobsters…

how did you manage to get them?”

The old man’s face was full of surprise and disbelief, everyone on the street knew that such lobsters were only available from Wang Lao Si.

He was really curious about the origin of Chen Yang’s dragon shrimp.

Chen Yang smiled faintly, “Of course, I cultivated them myself.

What, do you expect dragon shrimp to fall from the sky?”

“Cultivated?

You did it so quickly?”

The old man’s face was full of disbelief.

It had only been a few days since his last conversation with Chen Yang, and there were already dragon shrimp available.

That was incredibly fast.

And looking at the size of these dragon shrimp, each one plump and large, could they have grown this much in less than a year?

So he had some concerns.

Seeing the disbelief on the old man’s face, Chen Yang knew what the old man was thinking.

He was simply not convinced that these were the same kind of dragon shrimp from Wang Lao Si and thought that he was being tricked.

But Chen Yang didn’t mind, as it indeed was a bit abnormal for him to produce such dragon shrimp so quickly.

To dispel the old man’s doubts, he said:

“Old man, how these dragon shrimp were produced is none of your concern.

Just take these shrimp back with you today.”

“Prepare a few meals first, taste them, and if the flavor and appearance are all right, give me a call.

Then we can have a good talk about it, what do you say?”

Upon hearing what Chen Yang said, the old man immediately felt much more at ease.

“Alright, I’ll do as you say.

I’ll try them today.

If there’s no problem, I’ll call you tomorrow.”

The old man agreed excitedly.

The fatigue and dullness on his face were wiped away in an instant, completely unlike his seriously ill appearance from before.

“Mm-hm, let’s do that.”

Chen Yang nodded, then patted the old man on the shoulder, “There won’t be any problems with these dragon shrimp, you can relax.

Little Cui’s precious flower certainly won’t be stuck on Wang Lao Si’s pile of cow dung.”

The old man was already excited and agitated.

When he heard these words, his excitement soared even more.

“Sir, if there’s really nothing wrong with these dragon shrimp, then you are my savior!”

The old man couldn’t hold back, and his voice started to choke with emotion.

Ever since Wang Lao Si’s ultimate ultimatum, he had been unable to eat or sleep these past few days.

But now it was different.

Whether or not the dragon shrimp would work out wasn’t the issue; what mattered was that Chen Yang had given him a great deal of hope.

“A savior might be saying too much, just keep your promise and that will be enough,” said Chen Yang with a chuckle, looking somewhat unserious.

Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned on the spot.

Then he immediately remembered what he had said during his last conversation with Chen Yang, about marrying off Little Cui to whoever could supply their family with such dragon shrimp.

Now that Chen Yang had delivered the dragon shrimp, naturally, he was expected to give Little Cui to Chen Yang.

Thinking this, the old man frowned slightly, but then his expression eased.

It was either Chen Yang or Wang Lao Si; anyone with working eyes could see who was the better choice.

“Don’t worry, sir.

I’m a man of my word.

If that’s really what you’re after, I will indeed keep my promise,” the old man said with a light smile, nodding.

Seeing the old man nod, Chen Yang was also taken aback.

He had been joking with his previous remark; he wasn’t the type to take advantage of someone’s predicament, but the old man took it seriously.

He was indeed planning to keep his word and give Little Cui to him.

Chen Yang was going to explain that he was just joking.

But then he decided not to.

“Alright, I’ll help you move these dragon shrimp into your shop first.

Try them out today and let the customers taste them.

If there are no issues, give me a call,” Chen Yang said, nodding expressionlessly, and then immediately got to work, transferring all the lively dragon shrimp from the truck into the old man’s shop.

After leaving his phone number with the old man, he rode away on his bike.

As he left the alley, Chen Yang happened to run into Wang Lao Si driving a van in.

It looked like he was delivering small dragon shrimp to the various late-night food shops.

Wang Lao Si’s van drove past Chen Yang’s tricycle.

From his demeanor, it seemed he didn’t recognize Chen Yang.

But that was for the best, avoiding any unnecessary trouble.

After delivering the dragon shrimp to the old man, Chen Yang didn’t linger in the town but rode straight back to Liuhe Village, ready to wait for the old man’s call.
