Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 170 Amusement Park (Part Two)
However, the other vehicles in the area had already gone crazy. Shen Qingqing and Chen Man, the two new little cars, had just been released by the staff after the starter was pulled, when they were hit by a car coming from the side with a "bang".

The two cars that were originally sitting side by side were knocked apart and scattered throughout the area.

Shen Qingqing and Chen Man were no longer able to care about each other; their eyes were filled only with the desire to ram into other vehicles.

Screams and the sounds of crashing cars mingled together, but none of them could drown out the laughter that lingered in the air.

Chen Yanfeng and his wife saw their two children outside the fence, their heads bobbing as if they hadn't been broken. They found it both funny and worrying, fearing that the children might have twisted their necks.

Fortunately, that didn't happen. Since it was almost lunchtime, Chen Yanfeng hadn't bought tickets for Shen Qingqing and Chen Man for such a long time. After fifteen minutes, their car was knocked to a stop by the fence.

Even after leaving the venue, the two were still very excited and discussed that they could play one more game before going to the water park in the afternoon.

Chen Yanfeng contacted Shen Rongzhou and learned that they were still queuing at the Ferris wheel. Shen Qingqing and Chen Man each slurped down a bottle of Shuangwai and strolled towards the Ferris wheel.

"Uncle and Auntie are over there!" Chen Man spotted Li Xunli and her group, who had just emerged from the long queue.

Li Xunli and the others had been playing for more than two hours. Although they had been picking and choosing some less exciting activities, Shen Hong was still young and his stamina was already exhausted. At this moment, he was leaning on Shen Rongzhou's shoulder, staring blankly into space.

"Let's go, we just saw the place to eat, let's go that way." As soon as they met up, Li Xunjin pointed to a direction they had just walked in.

The others put away their maps and followed Li Xunjin.

However, the area was quite large, and it took quite a while to finally see the place Li Xunjin had mentioned.

It looks like this whole area is a place to eat, with quite a few restaurants.

"What would you like to eat?" After walking a short distance, Li Xunjin stopped and looked back at the large group following behind.

Shen Qingqing jumped up and down, raising her hand high: "I want to eat! I want stir-fried dishes!"

When people are exhausted, they crave their usual staple foods to replenish their energy, feeling that nothing else can satisfy their hunger.

Shen Qingqing's suggestion was unanimously approved. Coincidentally, there was a home-style stir-fry stall nearby, and all three families went to the shop.

I thought the store would be deserted because there wouldn't be many people at the entrance, but it turned out that the screen at the entrance was blocking out the people eating inside—the store was packed with people.

A waiter noticed them and quickly came over to ask, "Hello, how many of you are there?"

Shen Rongzhou, holding Shen Hong, asked, "Thirteen people, are there any seats available here?"

The waiter, probably not expecting so many people to be together, hissed softly before asking, "Is it alright if we push the two square tables upstairs together?"

"Okay, sure!"

We're already out having fun, so let's not be fussy about trivial things. Besides, so many of us are hungry, and it would be a hassle to find another place to eat.

Li Yuxing and Zhang Mingfang also came out together this time, but the two elderly people just walked around or played some gentler activities, such as ring toss, shooting, basketball, and other simple games.

The two elderly people saw that it was children playing on the carousel or the spinning coffee shop, and they kept waving their hands and saying they didn't want to go. Watching the children play, they were both very happy.

Seeing that they didn't seem reluctant, Li Xunli and the others stopped trying to persuade them.

After the thirteen people followed the waiter upstairs and sat down, Li Yuxing asked Chen Yanfeng's family if there was anything they didn't eat, and then went with the waiter to the kitchen to order.

Shen Qingqing and Chen Man were still in high spirits. They put down half of the bottle of Shuangwaiwai (a popular Chinese beverage) on the table and went to order food with Li Yuxing, hand in hand.

The kitchen area is very open and transparent, with a total of five stoves and five chefs. It's currently packed with tourists, and all five stoves are burning non-stop.

The ingredients were all freshly killed and processed, except for the chickens, ducks, and geese, which were killed in advance and placed on the table, but there weren't many left on the table at this moment.

Li Yuxing was startled when Shen Qingqing suddenly pounced on her from behind. After scolding her playfully for a moment, she hugged her and asked, "What do you want to eat? Does your friend have anything you'd like to eat?"

"Give me a pork tripe and chicken soup, and a fish head and tofu soup!" Shen Qingqing ordered two soups. She originally wanted one soup, but thinking that one might not be enough for so many people, she added another one.

Li Yuxing nodded in agreement and told the waiter a list of dishes: eight dishes and two soups.

Crabs are at their fattest and most delicious this season. After Li Yuxing picked out eight crabs which were taken away by the kitchen helpers, Shen Qingqing and Chen Man immediately went over to see how they processed the crabs.

With a skillful "snap," the kitchen helper split the crab's shell and body in two, then chopped off its two large claws with two quick "snap" sounds. The crab was cut into four pieces, which were then neatly arranged on two plates and sent to the chef.

Next up were mandarin fish, green peppers, chicken gizzards, pork belly, half a chicken, half a fish head, and green vegetables...

The helper's movements were very skilled, and each action looked graceful.

Because the pork tripe and chicken soup takes a little longer to cook, it was put directly into the pressure cooker after the helper finished processing it.

However, these many dishes are not prepared by a single chef; whichever chef is available will prepare them.

After standing there for a while, Shen Qingqing and Chen Man couldn't stand the heat surging from the stove anymore. They told Li Yuxing and went back upstairs, then told the others who were waiting to eat the names of the dishes.

After waiting for almost an hour, Shen Qingqing and her group's table finally started receiving their dishes one after another.

It's incredibly fragrant and has a wonderful wok hei (wok aroma).

The only downside was that the rice in the bowl was a bit soggy.

But there's nothing we can do about it. That's how rice is sold outside. It's all steamed in large machine steamers, and the rice used isn't of very high quality.

If you're really that picky, then you shouldn't eat it at all.

Peanut milk and Wanglaoji herbal tea are drinks that the elders will not refuse to let the children drink at this meal.

However, after eating too much, even if you want a drink, there's no room left in your stomach.

It took an hour to wait for the food, and another hour to eat. We finally finished eating around 2 PM.

But after eating, no one wanted to move. Shen Hong was so sleepy that she leaned against Shen Rongzhou, her eyes half-closed and her pupils lifeless.

Looking at Li Chunchun and Shen Yangyang, although they weren't as sleepy as Shen Hong who could fall asleep immediately, their eyes weren't as bright as they were when they were playing in the morning.

Only Shen Qingqing and Chen Man could be considered to have some spirits.

The adults discussed it and decided to go back to the hotel to rest first, then stroll around the nearby pedestrian street and food street in the afternoon and evening, and go to the water park the next day. They told Shen Qingqing and Chen Man about this decision, and the children obediently nodded in agreement.

After walking from the restaurant to the hotel, my stomach, which had been very full, had shrunk considerably. After returning to our respective rooms, we washed our hands and faces, wiped our backs, and went to sleep.

Li Xunli slept in the same room as Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang, while Shen Rongzhou slept with Shen Hong.

She slept for the entire afternoon, and by the time Shen Qingqing woke up, it was already past five or six o'clock.

"Ah..." Shen Qingqing didn't feel anything while lying down, but when she tried to sit up, she felt as if her whole body had been hit by a hammer, and her muscles and tendons ached.

Her whimpering woke up Shen Yangyang, who got up and asked in a panic, "What's wrong, sister?"

"My body hurts..." Shen Qingqing lay on the pillow, her little face scrunched up.

When Li Xunli returned from outside the room and saw that both children were alright, she first asked, "Are you hungry?" Then she noticed Shen Qingqing lying there with a mournful face and quickly asked, "Dabao, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Qingqing was in so much pain that she didn't want to speak, so Shen Yangyang quickly answered for her sister: "Sister said she's in pain all over!"

"Mom, you need to take my sister to see a doctor right away!"

After hearing the answer, Li Xunli smiled, turned around and went into the bathroom to fiddle with things for a while. She came out with a towel and then explained to her two daughters: "It's okay, it's because your sister played too much this morning. Come here, come to Mommy."

The last sentence was said to Shen Qingqing.

Upon hearing Li Xunli's words, Shen Qingqing, like a little worm, slowly crawled over to Li Xunli and continued to lie down beside her.

The next second, a warm towel was placed on her legs, and Li Xunli massaged Shen Qingqing's legs again and again through the towel.

"Ah!" Shen Qingqing cried out uncontrollably.

Li Xunli showed no sign of holding back, and Shen Qingqing, who was already in pain, was in even more pain from the pressure and rubbing. The pain made Shen Qingqing wish she could just roll away three miles away.

"Yangyang, come here, hold your sister down!" Li Xunli noticed that Shen Qingqing was trying to run away, so she called on Shen Yangyang, who was watching from the side.

Upon hearing that she still had things to do, Shen Yangyang giggled and pounced on Shen Qingqing, pressing down tightly on her other arm.

"Ouch! Shen Yangyang, let go! It hurts! It hurts!"

The same sore arm felt completely different under Li Xunli's kneading versus under Shen Yangyang's violent punishment.

Shen Qingqing screamed.

"Yangyang, sit on your sister's butt!" Li Xunli said, making Shen Yangyang move to a different spot.

Sure enough, after Shen Yangyang changed locations, Shen Qingqing stopped complaining and waited like a salted fish for Li Xunli to finish massaging her.

While they were dealing with this, Shen Rongzhou arrived with Shen Hong.

When Li Xunli went to check on him, Shen Hong was still asleep. As soon as he woke up, Shen Rongzhou brought him here.

Upon entering the room and seeing Shen Qingqing like this, Shen Rongzhou asked, both amused and exasperated, "What happened?"

Li Xunli smiled, massaged Shen Qingqing's arm from top to bottom, then moved to the other side and replied, "I played around like crazy this morning, and when I woke up, my whole body ached."

Shen Rongzhou laughed after hearing this, turned around and went into the bathroom to wring out another towel, then came out and draped it over Shen Qingqing's legs, where he and Li Xunli each pressed on one side of her leg.

Shen Yangyang was naturally kicked out.

Shen Rongzhou was stronger than Li Xunli, but his strength was far superior to Shen Yangyang's reckless use of force. After groaning a couple more times, Shen Qingqing fell silent.

I just flip my head over from time to time to avoid my neck getting so sore that I can't move it later.

Not long after they pressed the button, both Li Xunli's and Shen Rongzhou's phones rang. It was Li Xunjin and Chen Yanfeng calling to ask if the children were awake and if they wanted to go out to find something to eat.

The couple talked about it and then agreed to meet on the first floor of the hotel before hanging up.

With a "smack," Li Xunli slapped Shen Qingqing's buttocks: "Get up, go downstairs and find something to eat."

The hotel does provide dinner, but the package they booked doesn't include three meals a day. They have to find their own food, or pay extra for meals at the hotel.

The adults felt it was unnecessary, so they decided to take the children to experience the nightlife of Shantou.

Upon meeting in the hotel lobby, Chen Man immediately let go of her mother's hand and ran towards Shen Qingqing, asking with a pained expression, "Qingqing, are you in pain?"

Shen Qingqing should have kept quiet; the question only made her feel the muscles that had been relieved after the massage start to ache again. Dejected, she replied, "It hurts..."

"Me too..." Chen Man's same expression of utter despair.

The two sisters leaned against each other, looking as energetic as they were in the morning, and now they were just as listless.

The adults discussed it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a consensus.

Just say you're going out for a walk, eat whatever you see, and then find a congee place to soothe your stomach.

On the street next to the hotel, not far from Fantawild, they actually found a brightly lit, bustling food alley.

Moreover, it's not one of those officially created food streets, but rather a gathering place spontaneously formed by locals riding their bikes to set up stalls.

They have everything from fried rice noodles and fried noodles to kueh teow and kueh chap, hand-pulled pancakes, Tujia-style savory pancakes... even raw marinated food stalls.

At the very end of the alley, there really was a seafood congee shop built with iron bars.

With so much food, there was no intention to tie everyone together; each family followed their own child.

However, Shen Qingqing and Chen Man were inseparable, and they both wanted to eat scallion pancakes. But they wanted different fillings, so they decided to put all the fillings they wanted into one pancake and have the vendor cut it into two pieces.

Shen Yangyang loves staple foods and never gets tired of them. She dragged Li Xunli to eat kueh teow, and even beef kueh teow.

Thinly sliced ​​bright red beef is blanched in the boiling beef broth until it turns pink, then scooped out and placed in a bowl. Next, a strainer with rice noodles is used to pour a generous spoonful of thin, smooth rice noodles into the same large porcelain bowl. Finally, two large spoonfuls of flavorful and rich beef broth are added, and celery granules and galangal are sprinkled on top.

A steaming bowl of fragrant beef kway teow is freshly made!
