Chapter 634: Exasperated by Your Stubbornness (2)



Zhou Chao smiled and whispered in Jiang Li’s ear, “Mainly, it’s the words ‘rice cakes’ that scared me.”

“What’s wrong with rice cakes? It’s just a kind of snack. Although I haven’t tried it before, I heard it’s quite famous,” Jiang Li asked somewhat puzzled.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t heard of this saying?” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li with a strange expression.

“What saying?” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao completely clueless.

“A knife assesses the forest’s collapse, two knives make the old horse shed tears, three or four knives cause the economy to collapse directly, five knives make Gates collapse, six knives shatter the earth, seven knives make the universe collapse, and eight knives lead to reunion in heaven!”

After Zhou Chao finished speaking, both Jiang Li and Lin Wu burst into laughter.

“Brother Chao, you’re really talented!” Jiang Li wiped away tears of laughter.

“It’s not me who said that. It’s what those powerful netizens online say!” Zhou Chao didn’t want to take credit for it. He had just seen it occasionally on the internet before.

“Is it really as mysterious as you say? Let’s give it a try. Buy a bit and taste it. Although it’s not authentic rice cakes, rice made ones are still quite good.”

Zhou Chao didn’t refuse. Even if it turned out to be real rice cakes, buying a few wouldn’t be a big deal for him, especially when it was just twenty-eight yuan per jin.

With Zhou Chao’s consent, Jiang Li took a few steps forward to the food truck.

“Hello, miss. How about getting some of these?” The owner of the glutinous rice cake was a middle-aged woman with a slightly plump figure, giving people a very honest feeling.

Looking at the kindly owner, Jiang Li didn’t hesitate much. “Just a bit, not too much.”

“Alright, is this amount okay?” The owner took a trapezoidal scraper and gestured toward the glutinous rice cakes on the table, about the width of a finger.

Jiang Li thought it wasn’t too much and nodded in agreement. “Okay, just this amount!”

Before Jiang Li could finish her words, she saw the owner start slicing. The glutinous rice cakes were originally soft, and with one push from the owner, a large piece popped out. Moreover, the owner sliced it diagonally. Before Jiang Li could react, a large piece of rice cake was already cut off.

Jiang Li was about to ask why so much was cut, but she saw the owner had already placed the sliced rice cakes into the nearby soybean flour. Jiang Li could only swallow her words.

Turning her head to look at Zhou Chao, she saw Zhou Chao looking at her with a smile on his face. Jiang Li pouted in annoyance and said, “Brother Chao, this owner is too dishonest!”

“It’s not even close to being dishonest. Take another look!” Zhou Chao motioned towards the owner with a glance.

Jiang Li quickly turned her head back. Upon closer inspection, she suddenly felt speechless.

Seeing the boss roll the previously sliced glutinous rice cakes in soybean flour, several twin glutinous rice cake siblings unexpectedly appeared. Moreover, they didn’t seem small in size. Jiang Li wondered when the boss buried them under the soybean flour. Now, they were all counted as part of Jiang Li’s portion.

With the swift movements of the boss’s hand, all the glutinous rice cakes were soon cut into small pieces. She packed them in a bag and placed them on the nearby scale. “Miss, it’s a total of 88 yuan. Would you like to pay in cash or scan the code?”

Looking at the honest demeanor of the boss, Jiang Li expressionlessly took out her phone and scanned the QR code on the food truck. After paying, she turned and hooked her arm with Zhou Chao’s, while Lin Wu picked up the bag.

Then the three of them walked away from the crowd.

“Brother Chao, am I such a big fool? I could see through that boss’ actions. Why didn’t I speak up and stop her shameless behavior?” Jiang Li looked frustrated. “Who didn’t believe me before? Now you know you’ve been duped!” Zhou Chao said with a smile.

“I’m so angry. How can anyone do business like this?” The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. It was like she was being treated like a fool.

At that time, the boss’s skills might not have been very proficient, and her technique was not good enough. Even Jiang Li could see it clearly.

“Alright, chalk it up as a lesson learned. Just be more cautious next time!”

Jiang Li nodded at the words. “Okay, but what should we do with so many glutinous rice cakes we bought? I don’t know how long it will take to finish them!”

“No problem, just leave them all to Lin Wu. He’s especially good at eating!”

Upon hearing this behind them, Lin Wu felt a bit embarrassed. He looked down at the large bag of glutinous rice cakes in his hand and wondered how many days it would take to finish them.

Just as Zhou Chao and the others were about to continue their stroll, Zhou Chao’s phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

“Who’s calling?” Jiang Li asked curiously.

Zhou Chao took it out and checked. It was a call from his father-in-law.

“Dad, it’s from you,” Zhou Chao said as he answered the phone.

“Hey, Xiao Chao, do you have time now?” Jiang Youdao’s firm voice came through the phone.

“What’s up, Dad?”

“Nothing urgent. If you’re busy, forget it!”

“Whether I’m busy or not, I’m out shopping with Jiang Li right now. What’s the matter?”

“Both you and Jiang Li, come over to the house. We’ll talk when you get here!”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao felt a bit puzzled. Was there something important that couldn’t be discussed over the phone?

Though he had his doubts, Zhou Chao still agreed, “Okay, Dad, we’ll come right over.. Luckily, we’re not far from home!”
