Chapter 418 - Three Women Serve

Upon reaching the convenience store, Uncle Niu was indeed still there.

He was organizing the goods in the store, checking how much money had been made for the day.

“Uncle Niu, grab me two bottles of drinks,”

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Uncle Niu heard the voice and looked up.

Seeing it was Chen Yang, a smile immediately spread across his face.

“Yang Zi!

Alright, just give me a moment,”

Uncle Niu immediately put down what he was doing and got the drinks for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took the drinks and was about to pay for them.

But Uncle Niu simply waved his hand, “Forget it, no need for payment.

Today, you and the village chief helped me sell goods, and I haven’t even thanked you yet.

No matter what, I’m not taking your money today,”

Uncle Niu said with a laugh.

Seeing Uncle Niu so resolute, and considering he and the three ladies had indeed been a big help just now, Chen Yang accepted without further ado.

“Well then, Uncle Niu, I’ll accept it this time, but this won’t be a regular thing,”

“Sure thing, not a regular thing,”

Uncle Niu chuckled as he saw Chen Yang off.

Chen Yang, carrying the drinks, returned home just as the three ladies were conveniently bringing out the freshly cooked lobster from the kitchen.

As soon as they saw Chen Yang returning with drinks, Yang Ruoxi immediately greeted him with a smile.

“Chen Yang, not mad anymore, are you?”

Although Chen Yang wasn’t really angry anymore, how could he let these three off so easily?

So, pretending to be annoyed, he gave Yang Ruoxi a cold glance, “You think you can make up for wasting my good intentions by just warming up a dish?

No way!”

After saying that, Chen Yang walked into his house.

The three ladies followed close behind.

They all knew they were at fault, so they kept saying nice things.

After entering the house, they began to proactively offer their assistance.

“Chen Yang, have you been busy all day?

Sit down and don’t move; I’ll get you a bowl, some chopsticks, and a cup,”

Yang Ruoxi was first to offer her help.

Seeing that this was an option, Li Han and Wu Kexin quickly sprang into action.

“Chen Yang, are you hot?

I’ll get you a fan,”

“Chen Yang, you must be tired, right?

Sit on this comfortable stool,”

The three ladies bustled about so that Chen Yang barely needed to lift a finger.

Someone was there to help him with whatever he wanted to eat.

And when it was time for a drink, someone served it, truly pleasant indeed.

After fussing over Chen Yang for a while, Yang Ruoxi suddenly looked at him and asked, “Feeling better now?

We didn’t do it on purpose, so can we let bygones be bygones?”

“Yeah, Chen Yang, it wasn’t intentional, let’s just let it go,” Wu Kexin also chimed in.

Chen Yang had intended to continue the act, but seeing that the three ladies showed enough sincerity, he thought it was time to stop.

So, with an air of difficulty, he nodded, “Alright, this time I’ll let it pass, but if something like this happens again…”

“I won’t forgive you so easily,” Chen Yang still said with a hint of annoyance.

Seeing Chen Yang had forgiven them, Yang Ruoxi burst into laughter.

“Definitely, definitely, we promise there won’t be a next time!”

Chen Yang gave her a glance, “I hope so.”

Once Chen Yang forgave the three ladies, they also started laughing and began to eat.

Chen Yang had prepared over thirty pounds of lobster, which certainly weren’t all made the same way.

So, all sorts of lobster dishes could be seen across the table.

And as the key point, Chen Yang also prepared a dipping sauce for everyone using the seasoning packets he had bought.

When eating the lobsters, one could first swirl them in the dipping sauce, get some chili on them, and enjoy the delightful taste.

“Wow!

This lobster is so delicious, the flavor is almost the same as the one we had at Night Snack Street last time!”

After trying a few types of lobster, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Mmhm!

I noticed that too, the flavor is really similar to what we had at Night Snack Street last time,” Li Han also nodded in agreement with Yang Ruoxi and looked at Chen Yang curiously, wondering how he managed to replicate the Night Snack Street lobster.

Being able to replicate it after just one taste, isn’t that cooking skill a bit too amazing?

Chen Yang knew what the three women meant, so he didn’t hide anything and replied with a smile, “When I was making it, I called the owner of the night snack shop for some advice, so that’s why the flavor is the same.”

“Hmph, so that’s how it is.

I thought you were really something, being able to replicate it after just one taste.”

Once Yang Ruoxi heard that Chen Yang had called for advice, her face immediately showed disdain.

Chen Yang suddenly felt somewhat displeased.

What’s wrong with asking for advice?

Being able to recreate the flavor this well is already quite impressive.

“If you’re going to say that, then you should ask me for advice next time and see if you can make it,” Chen Yang said with a laugh.

A second ago, Yang Ruoxi’s face was full of scorn; the next second, she was outright embarrassed.

“I…

I don’t want to, you’d better do it, I can’t cook,” Yang Ruoxi stammered.

“Hahaha.”

Yang Ruoxi’s funny reaction amused Chen Yang, Wu Kexin, and Li Han, making all three of them laugh heartily.

Then they stopped chatting and began eating in earnest.

When they were almost done eating, Li Han paused, looked at the table, and suddenly said, “Just eating lobster isn’t all that satisfying.”

“Isn’t there a drink?

Drink the beverage, right?”

Chen Yang pointed to the drinks.

Li Han gave Chen Yang a sidelong glance and shook her head: “The drinks don’t taste like much either, not a good match for the crayfish.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang became curious.

If the drinks won’t do, what would pair well?

“What do you want to drink?” Chen Yang asked directly.

Li Han smirked and said, “Alcohol.”

“Alcohol?”

The fact that Li Han wanted to drink surprised Chen Yang; everyone was halfway through eating, and suddenly there was a proposal to drink alcohol…

“Yes.”

Li Han nodded, “We’ve got so many lobsters today, isn’t it boring without any alcohol?

And since my uncle allowed Ruoxi to come out and have fun today, isn’t this a cause for celebration?”

As she spoke, Li Han looked toward Yang Ruoxi.

“Since it’s a cause for celebration, how can we do without alcohol?”

Li Han’s words seemed quite reasonable.

Chen Yang thought for a moment: “I don’t mind.

If you girls want to drink, I’m in.”

Yang Ruoxi, with her simple mindset, saw that both Chen Yang and Li Han were okay with drinking, so she didn’t give it much thought.

“Exactly, exactly!

Sister’s right, today is a day worth celebrating!

How can we do without alcohol?

We must drink!” Yang Ruoxi said excitedly.

Suddenly, all three of them were in agreement, and Wu Kexin naturally didn’t object either.

By chance, she also felt that just eating lobster was a bit dull.

“Then, Chen Yang, you better hurry over to Uncle Niu’s place and see, check if there’s any alcohol or something, and buy some to bring back.”

Wu Kexin urged Chen Yang.

“Okay, wait for me for a little bit; I’ll be back soon,” Chen Yang stood up and headed out the door.

Watching Chen Yang leave, Li Han smirked and gave a meaningful look to both Yang Ruoxi and Wu Kexin.

After catching Li Han’s signal, Wu Kexin and Yang Ruoxi immediately huddled together.

After a secret discussion between the three women, they separated, and Yang Ruoxi’s face was brimming with mischievous glee.

“Sister, you’re so wicked.

No wonder you suddenly wanted to drink; you were planning to trap Chen Yang,” Yang Ruoxi said, laughing.

Li Han’s face was also full of smiles: “Of course, why else would I suddenly want to drink?

I just want you to join me in getting him drunk to see what he’d be like when he’s intoxicated.”

Li Han revealed her scheme.

“Hahaha, I think it’s going to be quite a show.

We’ve all been drunk before, except for him.

I’m also really curious.”

Wu Kexin joined in with laughter.

“Alright, that’s settled then.

When Chen Yang comes back, we’ll all drink together,” Li Han declared.

“Yeah, no problem!”

Yang Ruoxi and Wu Kexin chorused in agreement…
