Food: Starting with Wonton Noodles

Chapter 14 Two Little Helpers

"No, Yuanyuan, I think you'd be perfect for mukbang (eating broadcast)! You'd definitely get a ton of fans if you did."

"I feel like you're not just saying I'm fat, you want me to be even fatter!" Han Yuanyuan said angrily.

Seeing that she was really angry, Chen Yun quickly changed the subject: "Did you order food for Xiaoli? She just texted me asking what I brought."

Foodies have a really simple mindset. Seeing that Chen Yun stopped teasing her about how she was eating, Han Yuanyuan didn't hold it against her anymore. Instead, she started listing the dishes:

"I just packed two portions of beef brisket, two portions of chicken cartilage, two portions of pork neck, two portions of grilled pig brain, one portion of grilled eggplant, and one portion of..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Can she finish all this food?" Chen Yun had to interrupt Han Yuanyuan's performance.

"I can finish it," Han Yuanyuan said, taking another bite of the skewer. "Half of it is my late-night snack. Aren't we having dinner now?"

Chen Yun: ......

On the other side, Zhou Meiying had already washed the rooster bowl clean and handed it to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu happened to be cooking wonton noodles for Chen Yun and the other woman.

He called the two little ones over, then handed them the bowl of noodles and said:

"Linlin, do you know what you just did wrong?"

Linlin nodded blankly, then shook her head.

Zhou Yu continued, "When you're out, you can't just stop and stare at whatever you see that you want to eat, okay? So your uncle is going to punish you by making you help your uncle."

"And you, Huihui, you're always tattling. I'm punishing you by making you accompany your brother on his journey." Zhou Yu then turned to Huihui, who was making faces.

"These are the wonton noodles for those two older ladies. You two can take them to your uncle. If you do a good job, your uncle will take you to the snack station to buy some more snacks after he closes up shop."

After the two little ones carefully carried away, each holding a bowl of noodles, Zhou Meiying asked worriedly, "Are they alright?"

"It's alright, you have to trust them both," Zhou Yu said. "They're just kids. It's normal for them to be mischievous, but you have to believe in them and guide them to face and handle things well. Otherwise, do you really want them to become naughty children?"

Children's thinking is actually very simple. If you just lecture or scold them, it can sometimes have the opposite effect.

Zhou Yu's meaning was simple: since his little nephew couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, he should encourage him and let him challenge the temptation little by little.

And since it did cause some trouble for others, letting him personally provide the service would naturally make him feel it more deeply.

Zhou Meiying seemed to be thinking, then patted Zhou Yu's shoulder hard: "Then why don't you hurry up and have one? Both of my children are about to take the college entrance exam and you're still not married."

"You already have this, so I don't need to complete the task," Zhou Yu said without blushing at all.

"Since you're so good at teaching, I'll just leave these two to you and you can take care of them."

"You gave birth to it yourself, so you have to deal with it yourself."

Near the barbecue stall, two little ones came running over, carrying two bowls of wontons. Chen Yun was almost melted by their cuteness.

"Wow, kids, you're even helping out! You're so amazing!"

Chen Yun took the wontons from Linlin's hand, then pinched his cheek and said, "Do you want some barbecue? I'll give you some secretly so your mom won't see."

This time, Linlin said firmly, "No." He added, "My sister will tell on me."

Seeing that Linlin wasn't watching her eat anymore, Han Yuanyuan realized that she had indeed been a bit too possessive of her food.

She said a little shyly, "Would you like some candy? I have some here."

Huihui's eyes darted around before she said, "Yes, I will tell on you, but if you give me the candy, I won't."

Everyone burst out laughing.

After the two little ones left, Chen Yun and Han Yuanyuan began to enjoy the wontons.

"Wow, this is delicious!" Chen Yun exclaimed. "These noodles are so refreshing."

"Yes, this is definitely traditional handmade bamboo-pressed noodles," Han Yuanyuan added, showing her love for food and being a protective mother.

"Then we can bring one back for Xiaoli to try too. But we ordered so much, will she be able to finish it?"

"It's okay, I'm here for you." Han Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when she heard Chen Yun's suggestion.

......

After a busy night, around 10 p.m., Zhou Yu finally sold out all the dishes he had prepared for the day.

He counted and estimated that they had sold around ninety servings of noodles that day.

The two little ones were exhausted and were gulping down water. Then they each grabbed an ice cream and started munching on it.

After Zhou Yu finished packing everything, he finally remembered Sun Zhigang.

He walked up to Sun Zhigang's stall and said with a smile, "Sorry, I actually know a little bit about cooking. I accidentally sold out."

He paused, glanced at the half-full box of ingredients in Sun Zhigang's stock box, and said, "However, it seems your business isn't doing too well today. I hope you can sell out by the time you finish the late-night snack."

"Besides, I'm not that old. Look, you stay up all night every day, and you don't look much older than me. There's no need to call me 'uncle.'" After saying that, she ignored Sun Zhigang's furious glare and walked away.

"Huihui, Linlin, you two have worked hard today. Uncle will take you to buy some snacks."

"Wow, Uncle is so nice!" "Uncle, I want to buy you a quiet book too!" "Cards, I want Superman cards too!"

The two little ones skipped and hopped behind Zhou Yu, their mouths never stopping.

After buying the snacks, the two little ones were still not satisfied.

"Uncle, can I skip school tomorrow? I want to come and help you." This is Huihui, who hates going to school.

"Sure, just wait and see if your mother hits you or not," Zhou Yu said.

Huihui's happy face immediately fell. "Never mind, she won't agree."

Zhou Meiying frowned: "Haven't you two had enough fun tonight? Still want to skip school? Are you asking for a beating?"

"Uncle, can you buy me snacks again when I come over during the holidays?" Linlin said with a hopeful look on her face.

After sending Zhou Meiying and the two little ones back, Zhou Yu returned home at eleven o'clock.

Only then did Zhou Yu have time to open the system panel.
