Chapter 22 A Fresh Embrace from the Ocean

Sheng Jiu made five servings of steamed dumplings from this pot.

She doesn't have a large steamer in her kitchen, so she uses two steamers, each of which produces about five servings.

Now one pot is ready. If there are no guests, the rest will be taken to the hospital to feed my cousin and others.

But since there are guests, just give some away.

Sheng Jiu quickly responded: "Do you want to eat here or take it back to your room?"

Li Cheng thought it would be bad to keep the store closed, as it would affect business: "I'll take it back and eat it, and then I'll bring the plate back to you after I'm done, okay?"

Li Cheng always does this when he wants to eat at other neighbors' homes.

Sheng Jiu nodded: "Okay, Boss Li, please wait a moment."

The fresh aroma of black shrimps kept wafting along with the hot air. Li Cheng felt that every second he sat here, only able to smell but not eat, was torture.

Fortunately, Sheng Jiu quickly brought out his portion.

Feeling the approach of the delicious and fragrant smell, Li Chengxiang felt that his life was complete.

Sheng Jiu brought out the plate and placed it on the table where Li Chengxiang was waiting: "Boss Li, please enjoy your meal."

After he finished speaking, Sheng Jiu remembered something and hesitated for a moment before asking, "By the way, I heard that Boss Li has a nephew who is currently attending university?"

This was something that my grandfather mentioned to Sheng Jiu when he was still alive.

When Li Chengxiang's sister's son was admitted to university, he distributed wedding candies to the neighbors.

Li Chengxiang's attention was originally on the steamed dumplings. When he heard Sheng Jiu asking about his nephew, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded and nodded: "Oh, yes, at the University of Technology."

The Industrial University is local to them and is a very good university.

Whenever Li Cheng mentioned his nephew, his face was filled with pride.

After hearing that he agreed, Sheng Jiu thought for a moment before asking, "I have a part-time job here, and I want to ask if your nephew has time to take it. If he doesn't have time, it's okay. Can you help introduce a few classmates to come?"

Sheng Siyu was originally immersed in the delicious food. When she heard Sheng Jiu's words, she thought that Sheng Jiu was too busy and wanted to hire someone.

She wanted to speak, but was afraid of disturbing Sheng Jiu, so Sheng Siyu tried hard to control herself.

Moreover, the delicious food was attracting her attention. After taking a bite of the delicious food, Sheng Siyu's rationality completely collapsed and she no longer thought about anything.

Li Cheng thought it was difficult to agree to this kind of thing directly: "I have to ask my nephew about this matter and I will give you an answer later."

Li Chengxiang also thought that the store was short of staff, so he had to work part-time.

However, Sheng Jiu soon made a request: "We need people who are tall and strong, and look like they are not easy to mess with. It's also okay if they have a good mouth. We need about five or six people, and one or two more is fine."

Li Cheng thought:?

Sheng Siyu: ? ?

Working in a restaurant doesn't require much physical effort.

Even if you go to the kitchen, the heaviest work is just washing dishes and moving some ingredients. Why do you need so many people?

As if seeing Li Cheng's confusion, Sheng Jiu quickly explained: "I have a not-so-dignified part-time job here, and I need someone who is not easy to mess with to come and help."

Sheng Jiu briefly explained that he had ordered a banner and was going to go to the neighborhood where his uncle and aunt lived tomorrow to hang the banner with drums and gongs, in order to make his uncle and aunt famous in the neighborhood.

This kind of job is not easy, so it needs a group of people who look difficult to deal with to do it.

Sheng Jiu finally talked about the working hours and fees: "The working hours are about two to three hours. Once the atmosphere is set, you can leave. The part-time fee is 200 per person."

After hearing this, Sheng Siyu was stunned.

Li Chengxiang never expected that Sheng Jiu, who looked weak and easy to bully, would fight back not at all, but rather be quite mean!
Li Cheng opened his mouth and nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll ask for you when I get back. I should be able to give you an answer when I come over to deliver the dishes later."

Tomorrow is Saturday and college students are on holiday, so there should be enough time.

On the way back, Li Cheng's mind was half corrupted by the food, while he was still sighing at Sheng Jiu's methods.

Li Chengxiang even put himself in the situation's shoes and then shuddered.

No, still no.

He thought that it would be fine if he was honest. Was it necessary to offend this niece?
After returning to his shop, Li Cheng didn't have time to think about anything else.

With the delicious food right in front of him, how could he have the mind to think about anything else?
He looked down at the round steamed dumplings on the plate, and his saliva unconsciously began to water more vigorously.

Only then did he realize that the strong smell of braised food in the store could not overpower the delicious fragrance of the steamed dumplings.

After feeling the obvious contrast, Li Cheng wanted to mutter quietly: "Didn't they put anything in it? Why is it so fresh?"

While muttering, he picked up a steamed dumpling and put it into his mouth.

The skin of the steamed dumplings is very thin, so it will break if your lips and teeth touch it lightly.

It is also amazing that such a thin skin can still remain intact when picked up.

Li Chengxiang was thinking casually, but soon, he had no mind to think about anything else.

The freshness of the black shrimp rushed into his mouth the moment the skin was thin and the flesh was exposed, leaving him no chance or possibility to refuse.

They move aggressively between the lips and teeth, leaving no corner of the mouth.

After chewing the shrimp meat, Li Cheng felt...

I seemed to be immersed in this delicious fragrance.

Moreover, he did not reject such delicious fragrance and even immersed himself in it.

Li Chengxiang groaned vaguely: "It's too delicious!"

While he was talking, his mouth didn't stop moving.

A steamed dumpling is not very big. For an adult male like Li Chengxiang, he can swallow it in two or three bites.

However, this time he controlled his speed and savored it carefully.

It’s so delicious that you can’t finish it in two bites. It would be a shame to just taste it!

Even so, the eight steamed dumplings were quickly eaten up.

Li Chengxiang was still immersed in the food and hadn't come out yet. Then he looked down and found...

The dumplings are gone!

Li Cheng thought:?

What’s the difference between this and the sky falling?
Besides, he hasn’t eaten enough yet!
So, have another one!

but……

The dumplings are so delicious, the shrimp noodles should be good too.

Gudong!

I can't think about it. When I think about it, I can't control my saliva.

Li Chengxiang, who was obsessed with food, did not forget to ask his nephew about his part-time job.

At this time, on Sheng Jiu's side, Sheng Siyu had already finished eating the steamed dumplings.

For her, this amount of food is just right, and she even feels a little full.

But smelling the delicious aroma in the restaurant, Sheng Siyu almost couldn't help but said: Give me another one.

If she eats any more, her throat will be bloated and she will vomit after taking two steps.

So, take control!
Sheng Jiu had already neatly packed the remaining steamed dumplings and the millet porridge.

It was only then that Sheng Siyu realized what Sheng Jiu had mentioned before, that they would go to their uncle's community to hang banners tomorrow.

Although Sheng Siyu felt that this move was very satisfying, for someone like her uncle who cared about face, after the banner was pulled up...

He probably had to cover his face every time he walked for half a month!
However, while Sheng Siyu felt happy, she couldn't help but worry about Sheng Jiu: "If you do this, your uncle and the others will come back to trouble you, right?"
