291 Capable People
“It’s something made from rice flour that looks like noodles.” Xue Sifu laughed.
“Really?” The young man didn’t believe him. “I’ve never heard of rice flour being stretched into strips to become noodles.”
Xue Sifu only laughed. When the stove, firewood, and wicker basket were all set up, all that was left was to set up the table. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan helped Xue Sifu set up the table, which made the people in the cold and quiet stalls nearby click their tongues in wonder.
“That table of yours…”
Someone even walked over and stared at it. “I didn’t know you could build it like this. I was wondering why you only brought a stool and not a table. Who did this? It’s so ingenious. I’ve been setting up a stall in this town for a few days, but I’ve never seen anyone set up a table this way.”
This person even knocked on the table that had already been set up, and immediately sighed again, “It’s really steady too.”
“Yifu did it,” Xue Sifu said with a smile.
“That’s really amazing.” That person praised the man at home.
“Thank you. Yifu will be very happy if he hears about this.” Xue Sifu smiled.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also thought so.
“Your family has so many capable people.” The young man also walked over to take a look. “Your brother’s handwriting is so good, and your brother’s cooking is so good.”
Xue Sifu laughed, “You flatter me. We’re all learning the process of life! Haha!”
“That’s still amazing,” the young man said.
When the two tables were set up, the people who came to look at the tables took another look before returning to their own stalls.
Xue Sifu then said to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, “You guys stay here and look after the stall. I’ll send the ox cart to its spot. We can’t leave the ox cart here.” He placed two water buckets and a shoulder pole on the ox cart as he spoke. “I’ll bring some water back. We can get water from there.”
With that, Xue Sifu led the cow away.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. Then, they turned around in unison and took out some dry rice noodles to place in front of the stall. Sellers shouldn’t hide their dishes, they should let people see them.
The young man at the stall next to him saw it first and immediately came over. He stared at the dry rice noodles on the table, his eyes shining. “This is the rice noodles?”
“Yes.” Xue Yan said.
“How did you do it? Why does it look like threads? And it’s dry…” the young man was inquisitive.
“It’s made of rice flour.”
“Just saying… If-”
Just as the young man opened his mouth to say these three words, the person at the stall diagonally opposite him laughed and said, “They’re just two little kids, how would they know so much? Besides, it wasn’t easy for them to figure this out. They have to rely on this to earn money, so why would they tell you? Be more tactful and don’t make others dislike you.”
This person immediately spoke up when the two kids were being questioned.
When the young man heard the man’s words, he immediately scolded him, “It’s none of your business! I’m not asking you!” After scolding the man, the young man turned to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan with a smile, “Be good and tell me, do you know what to do? How about this, if you tell me what you did, I’ll go and buy you candy right now, okay?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. Were they that st*pid?
The person at the stall diagonally opposite was an aunt. After being scolded, she didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but she couldn’t bear to see someone lie to a child. She couldn’t help but speak again, and her tone was rude, “What’s wrong with you?! Are you trying to deceive a child? You’re bullying the child when the adults aren’t around!”
“What does it have to do with you?” The young man glared at him.
