While thinking like this, Gu Lang’s gaze toward Chen Xing became gentle and gentler.

 

It seemed to be because Gu Lang’s vision was too straightforward,so Chen Xing stopped chattering, raised his head to look at the man beside him, saw him staring at himself for a split second, and suddenly froze for a moment.

 

Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang’s eyes were particularly familiar, every time Gu Lang wanted to kiss him, he would look at himself in that way, he was a little nervous: “What, what’s wrong?”

 

“Nothing, the rice in the backyard is selling fast today, maybe we can close the shop earlier today.” On Chen Xing’s slightly reddened face, Gu Lang calmly averted his eyes, and his tone was rarely tense.

 

Seeing that Gu Lang did not have the intention to kiss him, as if staring at his eyes just now was just his own illusion, Chen Xing was a bit disappointed for no reason, he drooped his head and answered softly, “Oh.”

 

Gu Lang looked at the suddenly downcast Chen Xing, even the person who was smart as he was, did not understand why Chen Xing, who was still happy just now, became depressed all of a sudden.

 

Surname Hao rice shop in the city.

 

The shop manager stood on the counter to check the accounts, and then look at the crowd of people coming and going outside, and finally did not have to hold back to call the young waiter in the shop over, “What’s going on in the past few days, why the accounts on the books are so becoming less?”

 

Hearing his words, the waiter had a somewhat odd expression, but in the end he couldn’t hold back then said, “Boss, it’s mainly because fewer people have come to buy rice in the past few days, so naturally, the accounts are also less.”

 

The shopkeeper frowned and said unhappily, “The residents of this city are all counted, there have been no disasters, no newly moved households, and no new rice shops, so how could there be so many less people coming to buy rice all of a sudden?”

 

The young waiter looked at the shopkeeper’s expression of wanting to criticize violently, he was sure that he really didn’t know about it, so he tangled for a while, very cautiously as he reminded him, “Although there is no newly opened rice shop, there is one place that hold a concurrent post and sells rice.”

 

Listening to the meaning behind his words, obviously knowing what it looks like, the shopkeeper, also no longer patient and immediately said: “Just say what you want to say, what are you muttering for?”

 

“Yes.” Seeing the manager was angry, the waiter also did not beat around the bush. He directly said: “I did not know where the Chen family small restaurant gets a lot of rice. The cooked out rice is really extraordinarily fragrant, compared to the top quality rice, it is really not bad, the price is also cheap. Therefore, many people like it so they went to buy it.”

 

Most of the people thought, “They can’t afford to eat the food inside, but they can always eat their rice,” He even bought some himself and made it the way they taught him. Don’t say that, the taste is simple, once you eat it, you can’t forget it.

 

Hearing the waiter’s words, the shopkeeper’s face immediately surfaced with a somewhat dumbfounded look. He really did not think that in the end, the one who stole their business was unexpectedly the Chen family restaurant that they previously refused to sell rice to.

 

The waiter looked at the shopkeeper’s changing face, for a moment he also quieted down. He himself also feel quite ridiculous, the people above them, they all unite; the entire’s rice shops in the country try to make the Chen family small restaurant embarrassed, yet the results of it, not only they turn the situation around and find the source of rice, they even turn around to rob their customers, isn’t this ‘try to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it, right? ( this idiom mean try to gain an advantage only to end up worse off)

 

The waiter wags one’s head—looks pleased with oneself and sighs in his heart. The result was that he saw the shop manager’s ghastly pale face looking at him, he swallowed his own saliva, and immediately went down.

 

When the waiter, who didn’t know how to behave in a delicate situation left, the shopkeeper looked at the remaining rice, his head felt especially aching or troubled with it. If the rice doesn’t sell for a long time, it will be infested with worms, and he was afraid that since it was top quality rice so it won’t be sold even if he lowered the price.

 

The shopkeeper rubbed the space between his eyebrows while he was worried about it. When he first refused to sell rice to the Chen family restaurant, he never thought there would be this day. Now, what should they do ah?

 

###

 

Until he closed the shop, Gu Lang still couldn’t figure out what Chen Xing was so upset about, but soon it didn’t matter, because the old hunter gave them another big gift, they had actually and unexpectedly hunted a deer.

 

Chen Xing’s attention was diverted, all of a sudden forgetting about what things troubled him, looking at the front, toward that ‘not small weight deer’, he was surprised as he looked at the old hunter and said: “Why do you guys have such good luck? This deer does not look like it was easy to catch.”
