Chapter 151 The "Big Monster" in the House
As evening falls, the streetlights in the square quietly come on, casting their light on the flowerbeds.
At the stall, Lin Chen put two portions of fried rice into a takeout box.
"Alright, all done!"
Wang Hai took a small tray and placed two boxes of fried rice on it.
Next, he scooped out two small boxes of radish crisps, and then took out a bowl each of chilled mung bean soup and daily soup from the thermos, placing them all on the tray.
Wang Hai carried the tray and walked to the folding table in the corner.
"President Su, Secretary Chen, we've kept you waiting!"
Wang Hai served the fried rice, crispy radish, mung bean soup, and daily soup to the two of them respectively.
"Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please let me know."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Su Qingxue nodded slightly in thanks.
"It's not hard work!"
Wang Hai waved his hand, turned around and ran back to his stall to continue working.
Next to the folding table.
Su Qingxue reached out and gently opened the lid of the takeout box in front of her.
She picked up a disposable spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fried rice, and put it in her mouth.
Secretary Chen, who was sitting opposite, also took a big bite, and then casually opened the small box and picked up a piece of crispy radish.
"Click."
After swallowing the crisp radish with the fried rice, Secretary Chen picked up the mung bean soup next to him, took a sip, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"President Su, the food at Boss Lin's place is still the best."
Secretary Chen sighed.
Su Qingxue nodded slightly, swallowed the fried rice in her mouth, and said, "Yes, the heat has been very stable."
Sitting on a small stool between the two of them, Tangtang rested her chubby little chin on her hands, her big eyes blinking as she watched them eat.
Seeing the pretty auntie enjoying her meal, Tangtang became happy too.
"Pretty auntie, let me tell you something!"
As if suddenly remembering something, Tangtang earnestly shared with Su Qingxue, "This afternoon, when Daddy and Uncle Fatty picked me up from school, lots and lots of huge monsters appeared in our living room!"
"monster?"
Su Qingxue put down her spoon, amused by the little girl's exaggerated statement.
She pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth and asked with great interest, "How come there's a monster in Tangtang's house?"
What does it look like?
"It's a huge pot!"
As Tangtang spoke, she stood up from the stool, stretched out her two short arms, and tried to make a very large circle in the air. "That big pot is taller than Tangtang!"
There were also huge buckets that filled our living room so much that I had to walk in circles!
Secretary Chen, who was sitting opposite, heard this.
"A pot taller than a candy?"
Secretary Chen was somewhat surprised.
Just then, Wang Hai came over with a rag to wipe the table that had just been cleared out next to him. Hearing Tangtang's exaggerated and childlike description, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, Mr. Su, Secretary Chen, please don't listen to this girl's nonsense."
There's no pot taller than her.
While wiping the table, Wang Hai explained with a smile, "But this morning, while this girl was at kindergarten, Chen Ge and I did go to the kitchenware wholesale market and bought two large rice cookers and a super large thermal container."
When we moved it home, it really filled the living room. I saw it when I picked Tangtang up from school.
After listening, Su Qingxue thought for a moment and then understood.
"Is this preparation for the summer food festival this Friday?"
Su Qingxue asked.
"Yes, Mr. Su, you saw right through me!"
Wang Hai said, "This Friday is the food festival, and the number of visitors to the square will definitely increase several times over."
The few rice cookers we usually use are simply not enough.
Brother Chen said that if we're going to introduce a new dish, minced meat rice, the hardware has to keep up.
How can you serve dozens of kilograms of minced meat without a large bucket?
So today I simply replaced them all with bigger ones!
Hearing Wang Hai's words, Su Qingxue's gaze fell on Lin Chen, who was not far away.
"It seems Boss Lin is planning a big push on Friday."
Su Qingxue withdrew her gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Absolutely!"
After wiping the table, Wang Hai greeted them warmly, "President Su, Secretary Chen, if you two aren't working overtime on Friday, you must come and try it!"
The meat sauce rice was absolutely delicious!
We guarantee your satisfaction!
"Okay, I got it. You can go ahead and get busy."
Su Qingxue nodded slightly, her tone amiable.
"Alright, please enjoy your meal!"
After Wang Hai finished speaking, he dashed back to the stall to help.
After watching Uncle Pang leave, Tangtang sat back down on her little stool, resting her chin on her hands as she looked at Su Qingxue.
"Pretty auntie, Uncle Fatty said that with this big pot, lots and lots of people can have a full stomach on Fridays!"
Tangtang repeated the adult's words in a soft, sweet voice.
"Tangtang's dad and Uncle Pang are both very reliable."
Su Qingxue looked at the little girl and reached out to straighten her collar. "Then Tangtang will stay by Daddy's side on Friday, right?"
"Okay! I'll be good. I even helped Uncle Fatty hand out spoons!"
"Tangtang said proudly."
The two adults and one child sat in the corner, chatting idly in the early summer evening breeze.
Before long, Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen finished their fried rice, and also drank the chilled mung bean soup and daily soup.
Secretary Chen gathered the two empty lunch boxes and the small box containing the radish crisps together, put them into the plastic bag next to him, and tied a knot.
Su Qingxue put down her spoon, took out a tissue, and wiped her mouth.
"Tangtang, Auntie is full."
Su Qingxue turned her head and said to the little maid beside her.
"Is the pretty auntie going home?"
Tangtang blinked her big eyes, her tone revealing a hint of reluctance.
"Yes, Auntie has finished eating and is going back to rest."
Tangtang, you must also be a good girl and listen to Daddy, and don't be naughty.
Su Qingxue reached out and gently rubbed Tangtang's little head.
"Mmm! Tangtang is the best girl!"
Tangtang nodded vigorously.
Su Qingxue stood up.
Secretary Chen also stood up and picked up the trash bag full of empty lunch boxes from the corner of the table.
The two walked up to the stall and threw the garbage bag into the trash can next to it.
At this point, the queue of customers was no longer as dense as before.
Hearing footsteps, Lin Chen turned his head slightly.
"Have you finished eating?"
Lin Chen put down the iron spoon in his hand and spoke.
"Mmm, I'm done eating."
Su Qingxue nodded slightly and looked at Lin Chen as she responded.
"I just heard from Wang Hai that you've got all the equipment ready today."
"Since you've made such thorough preparations, Secretary Chen and I will definitely be there on time to support the food festival this Friday."
She paused for a moment, her tone becoming more amiable, "Then, we'll all be waiting to taste Boss Lin's new dish."
"it is good."
Lin Chen looked at her and nodded, "See you on Friday, I'll definitely save you plenty of food."
See you on Friday.
Su Qingxue smiled slightly, then turned and waved to Tangtang, who was sitting on a small stool, "Tangtang, Auntie's leaving now, bye-bye."
Goodbye, pretty auntie!
Goodbye, Aunt Chen!
Tangtang stood next to the small stool, waving her little hands vigorously.
Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen gradually blended into the early summer evening night, heading towards the office building.
