Before long, a long line had formed in front of Ni Yang’s stall.
“The flavor here is really authentic.”
“Although it’s five cents cheaper per bowl over there, I always feel like something’s missing.”
“Thank goodness I ran fast; otherwise, it’d definitely have been me at the back of the line again.”
“Boss, I want a bowl of pickled vegetable noodles.”
“I want a bowl too.”
Li Gongcheng sat at his table, watching Ni Yang ladling noodles unhurriedly at her stall, with utter astonishment in his eyes.
No wonder she prepared so many ingredients this morning. She must have foreseen this scene.
Ni Yang’s place was packed, but in contrast, there were only a few customers at Sun Chunxiang’s place.
Sun Chunxiang initially thought that her place would be exceptionally busy this morning, so she specially prepared more than two thousand bowls of soup noodles and even summoned her sister-in-law to come and help.
But she didn’t anticipate this situation.
Her business was going well just yesterday morning.
Could it be that that wretched Ni Yang girl was up to some mischief again?
What a shameless wench she was!
Sun Chunxiang bit her lip and said to her sister-in-law at her side, “Xiangzhi, keep an eye on things here. I’m going over there for a bit.”
Zhao Xiangzhi nodded, “Sure, sis, go ahead.”
Sun Chunxiang left her stall and walked over to Ni Yang’s.
As expected, there was indeed a long queue at Ni Yang’s.
Upon seeing this scene, Sun Chunxiang’s face turned green with anger!
Indeed!
That wretched girl Ni Yang had stolen her business!
What a faceless brat!
Sun Chunxiang really felt like throwing herself at her and choking Ni Yang to death.
This wench! First, she got her daughter thrown into prison, then her son was forced to drop out of school, and now she was stealing her customers.
Did Ni Yang think she was that easy to push around?
No, she couldn’t stand by and watch Ni Yang take away all her customers.
With a smiling face, Sun Chunxiang walked into the middle of the line, “This line seems pretty long, you all probably don’t know, but there’s another pickled fish noodle shop over there. Not only is it five cents cheaper per bowl, but you also don’t have to wait in line. And the taste is ten times better than here!”
Upon hearing this, a short-haired woman immediately asked, “Really?”
Sun Chunxiang nodded hurriedly, “What are you asking, big sis, do you think I would lie? It’s right over there, look.”
The short-haired woman stood on tiptoes, looked towards the direction pointed out by Sun Chunxiang, and after figuring out the location, sighed with disappointment, “Oh, you’re talking about that place?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Sun Chunxiang nodded anxiously, “That’s the one.”
The short-haired woman continued, “I went there yesterday morning, the flavor wasn’t nearly as good as this place. Although it’s a bit cheaper, the fishy smell is rather strong…” Suddenly as if realizing something, the woman said, with a knowing look, “Oh, I see. You must be the boss of that stall, right?”
Sun Chunxiang didn’t expect the short-haired woman to say this. She barely had time to react when another customer spoke.
“I went there yesterday morning too. The taste is indeed not as good, so I came back here this morning.”
“Yeah, yeah, me too.”
“The flavor here is way better.”
Sun Chunxiang’s face turned darker and darker, and with a bowed head, she ran away amidst the discussions.
Like a crestfallen, beaten-down dog.
She wondered whether all these people could have been hired by Ni Yang.
How could Ni Yang’s noodles taste that good!
She had tasted them too!
After returning to her own stall, Sun Chunxiang handed Zhao Xiangzhi thirty cents, and said, “Xiangzhi, take this money and buy a bowl of pickled fish noodles from the place across the street.”
She was eager to taste it, just to see if that bitch’s noodles are indeed as delicious as everyone said they were!
Zhao Xiangzhi looked at Sun Chunxiang in surprise and asked, “Sister-in-law, don’t we also sell Pickled Fish Noodles? Why waste money buying it elsewhere?”
Sun Chunxiang, looking a bit impatient, said, “Just do what I asked.”
Without daring to say anything more, Zhao Xiangzhi took the money and headed off.
However, in her heart, she had cursed Sun Chunxiang a thousand times.
Pfft!
Is it just because she’s got money?
What’s so great about that?
Does having money mean she can order me about like I’m some beast of burden?
After waiting in line for a long time, Zhao Xiangzhi finally got a bowl of Pickled Fish Noodles.
Only when she held the bowl of noodles in hand did she understand why Sun Chunxiang was willing to spend 30 cents to have her bring a bowl back.
They were both supposedly Pickled Fish Noodles, but the difference was like night and day.
The Pickled Fish Noodles from that place had a great color, broth, and presentation.
Just the smell alone was enough for people to drool.
No wonder no one patronizes Sun Chunxiang’s noodle stall.
After Sun Chunxiang tasted some of the noodles that Zhao Xiangzhi had brought back, as soon as they entered her mouth, she frowned.
She could clearly taste that, compared to two weeks ago, these noodles had gotten even better.
Rich, sour, and refreshing.
It was so delicious that after eating a bowl, you couldn’t help but want a second.
Sun Chunxiang dug out a piece of pickled vegetable from the bottom of the bowl, quickly realizing that this pickled vegetable was not like the one she usually bought from the market. Having studied Pickled Fish Noodles for a long time, she knew that the essence of the dish was in the pickled vegetable.
The reason why Ni Yang’s pickled vegetable noodles tasted so good was largely because of the pickled vegetable.
This meant that if she could find out where this pickled vegetable was bought from, she could make noodles that taste just as good.
Thinking of this, a smug smile returned to Sun Chunxiang’s face.
Being a local of Beijing, if Sun Chunxiang wanted to find where this kind of pickled vegetable was sold, it would be extremely easy.
Just wait and see!
She would definitely be able to find the same pickled vegetable.

When Li Gongcheng arrived at the Mo Family with the meal prepared by Ni Yang, there was a guest at the house.
It was a young woman who was quite attractive.
If he hadn’t seen Ni Yang, he would have certainly thought her a beauty.
But after meeting Ni Yang, he felt that no one else he’d seen before could even compare.
One could even say this.
After Ni Yang, there were no more beauties.
The young woman was sitting on the couch, speaking with Madam Mo.
It was clear that Madam Mo liked her a lot, her eyes full of smiles during their conversation.
“Madam,” Li Gongchengapproached.
“Xiaoli is here,” Madam Mo looked up and smiled.
Li Gongcheng put the thermal container on the coffee table and said, “Madame, this is the meal prepared by Ni Yang from the noodle stall, as requested by Master Mo. Please taste it and if it suits your liking, Master Mo mentioned that he could ask her to cook for you every day.”
Madam Mo nodded, looking a bit disappointed, “Didn’t he buy any noodles to bring back this morning?”
Of course, he had bought noodles, but Master Mo had commandeered them halfway.
Of course, these were not things that Li Gongcheng could say to Madam Mo. He smiled and said,
“Madam, eating noodles in the morning might not be easy to digest. Why don’t you try these dishes first and see if they suit your taste?”
“Alright,” Madam Mo nodded, “I understand, you can go on with your work.”
Li Gongcheng bowed slightly to Madam Mo, then turned and left.
Madam Mo turned to the young woman beside her and said with a smile, “Xianxian, let me tell you, this Xiaoni is quite skilled in cooking. You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Let’s eat together and see what delicacies are in this thermal container.”
