The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

Cao Xiulian smiled and stepped forward, looking at the fair-skinned and well-behaved little girl in front of her: "You must be Hao Hao's classmate, right? You're a very pretty little girl."

When praised by her elder, Peng Xuanxuan blushed and her voice softened: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Peng Xuanxuan, I am the class monitor, and Zhao Haohao's leader."

Peng Xuanxuan's grandmother was both amused and exasperated, wondering how these little devils could be so ambitious for power, even managing to get close to their superiors.

"Please don't laugh, boss. We heard from the neighbors that your place has the only chicken and snail noodle soup in Hongye City. The ingredients are really free-range chicken and mountain snails. The soup is delicious and nourishing. So I brought Xuanxuan to try it. Could you please make two bowls of noodles?"

"Two bowls. Our noodles can be refilled for free. If you can't finish them, why don't you buy a bowl to try?" Cao Xiulian tentatively suggested, looking at the thin Peng Xuanxuan and her granddaughter.

"It's okay, just two bowls. If you can't finish them, take them home. Just for the broth."

"Okay, one bowl is twenty-five, with meat sauce twenty-eight. Would you like to add it?"

The old lady silently calculated in her mind. Although she had asked about the price before coming, she still felt a little reluctant to pay. "One bowl with sauce, one bowl without."

Peng Xuanxuan, standing nearby, sidled up to Zhao Haohao, pouting and complaining, "Zhao Haohao, your noodles are way too expensive! The noodle shop downstairs from my house only charges fifteen yuan with beef! If it's not even as good as the one downstairs, I'm going to avoid your place and tell everyone!"

Zhao Haohao was cooking noodles when he heard Peng Xuanxuan's words. He rolled his eyes at her, then his eyes lit up. "What if it's delicious? If it's not, you'll have to avoid it. But what if it's delicious?"

"If it tastes good, I'll eat more!"

"That won't do, that's not fair. Here's what we'll do." While the noodles were softening, Zhao Haohao pulled over Ya Ya, who was watching the commotion from the side. "See this? This is my sister Ya. Isn't she cute? If you like it, you'll be like me, getting up early every day and working for my sister Ya at our shop for a week."

Peng Xuanxuan was stunned. She looked down at the little girl who was almost a head shorter than her. "Sister Ya?"

"Zhao Haohao, did you steal all the food from your house? Why is your sister so short? If I come to work, will I get paid?"

"No, this is called equality. If it's not good, you'll ruin my reputation. If it's good, making me work a week isn't too much to ask, is it? Besides, don't underestimate me just because I'm young. I'm my boss, you know? I'm the big boss of this shop! Calling me 'sister' won't hurt you. I even have a cell phone!"

Peng Xuanxuan's eyes lit up: "Sister Ya, is that your own phone? I thought it belonged to Auntie."

"It really is my sister Ya's."

"That……"

Peng Xuanxuan bit her lip and pondered for a while, then resolutely nodded: "Okay, I'll take this bet with you."

Grandma Xuanxuan watched the two children talking but didn't intend to stop them at all.

Her daughter, Xuanxuan, is usually spoiled and lazy. She has to be called five or six times every morning before she gets up. If she hadn't said she would take her to eat something delicious that she had never eaten before, she would definitely have been late for school again.

It would be good to work with this sensible chubby boy and temper his temper.

The old lady took out her phone, scanned the QR code to pay for two bowls of noodles, and led Peng Xuanxuan to find an empty seat. Soon after, Cao Xiulian brought two steaming bowls of chicken and snail soup noodles to the table.

Peng Xuanxuan couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, stir the meat sauce, roll up a large roll of noodles, wrap it up like a little chicken leg, blow on it, and then gulp it down.

The rich and delicious broth, coated with the tangy flavor of meat sauce, spreads in your mouth, while the broth, made from slow-cooked free-range chicken, is balanced by the fresh mountain snails, which neutralize the greasiness of the chicken oil.

It's delicious, absolutely delicious!

Peng Xuanxuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and she didn't bother to say anything, just kept burying her head and eating voraciously.

Grandma Xuanxuan ate much more politely than Peng Xuanxuan, but the curve of her eyes clearly showed that she was quite satisfied.

As she was eating, she noticed that the guests at the next table had fresh green vegetables in their bowls, but why didn't she and Xuanxuan have any? Did Xuanxuan forget to put them in?

Thinking of this, she raised her hand and called out to the boss.

The only free person in the shop, the actual owner, Ya Ya, ran over: "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Little friend, did you forget to put vegetables in these two bowls of noodles we ordered?"

Peng Xuanxuan finally looked up from her bowl and glanced around. Sure enough, most people had vegetables in their bowls. Although she didn't like vegetables, could this be considered catching Zhao Haohao in the wrong?

"Yeah, why didn't we get any in our bowls?" Peng Xuanxuan asked as well.

"That's cat's paw vegetable we sell. Auntie said it's thirty yuan a pound. If you want to buy it, you have to tell Brother Zhao, and then Brother Zhao will help wash the vegetables and put them in the noodles," Ya Ya explained earnestly to them.

The old lady was taken aback: "Cat's paw vegetable? You sell wild vegetables here? No wonder I didn't add it. This vegetable is not cheap, and it's very nutritious. Could you please weigh out five yuan's worth for us? We can blanch it and try it."

"Okay, scan the code over there and thank you, Grandma." Ya Ya pointed to the small green paper on the table with her little finger, then found Zhao Haohao who had just caught his breath: "Brother Zhao, your boss and his grandma want five yuan worth of cat paw vegetables."

"Alright!"

Zhao Haohao grabbed a small handful, put it on the scale, and weighed it for five yuan.

Peng Xuanxuan ate all the soup, noodles, and wild vegetables, leaving only small pieces of chicken bones and a few empty snail shells in her bowl.

"Burp~" She patted her belly and let out a loud burp. When she turned around, Zhao Haohao and the sister he mentioned were staring at her with wide eyes.

Oh no, I have to get up early. Peng Xuanxuan pursed her lips and didn't say a word.

Grandma Xuanxuan praised with a smile: "The taste is really good, and it's worth the price! Whether it's twenty-five or twenty-eight, it's not a loss. Is the meat sauce made by your own hands? And is it made with spring water? There's no industrial taste at all. It tastes a bit like the sauce made in my village when I was a child."

Grandma praised it, so Peng Xuanxuan could only chime in. She couldn't bring herself to say it wasn't delicious; her mother and teacher both said to be honest elementary school students, and besides, she was the class monitor.

"Fine, Zhao Haohao, you win, but I'm still going to the school to tell them."

Zhao Haohao glared at him, "Why are you still going to talk?"

"I'll help you promote it!" Peng Xuanxuan jumped up. "This is Amway, you know that?!"

"You're on the right track. Come here and call her Sister Ya." Zhao Haohao pushed Peng Xuanxuan in front of Ya Ya. "This is your boss."

Peng Xuanxuan looked down at Ya Ya, who was much shorter than her, and felt a little awkward, but still obediently said, "Hello, Ya Ya. I'm here to help. Can I borrow your phone to play with later, or can we play together?"

Ya Ya looked bewildered: "What else can you do with a phone? Take pictures of your face? Or watch cartoons? Sure, watch with me, Brother Zhao's 'Little Pig' is really good."

"Of course you can play! Mobile phones are super fun! You can play King of Glory!" Zhao Haohao raised his hand.

"We can also play egg waffle parties!" Peng Xuanxuan raised her hand in response.
