Xia Lin initially didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, she felt it would be better to attend. Primarily because Qin Wen mentioned it was a birthday celebration for a friend of the National Little King, and if she declined, the National Little King and his friends likely wouldn't go either.
This would surely hurt their friendship.
Besides, one shouldn't be too selfish. The National Little King had cheered her up by playing games with her all day; in return, she should accommodate their plans for the evening.
"Alright, I'll let my friends know now." The National Little King nodded.
The Shanghai Four Young Masters Group.
National Little King: Is Yu Fatty upset?
Yu Wei: Don't call me Yu Fatty, I hate that nickname the most.
Yu Wei: Where are the other two lapdogs? Why haven't they shown up today?
National Little King: They are both driving, so it's inconvenient to chat. We'll come to celebrate your birthday after dinner tonight.
Yu Wei: Seriously????
Yu Wei: (Unbelievable expression).
National Little King: When have I ever lied? I never lie; the word 'lie' doesn't even exist in my dictionary.
Yu Wei: (Awkward expression) You've successfully made me laugh, baby.
National Little King: Get lost.
Yu Wei: (Expression of wanting to kill you).
National Little King: (Expression of spitting blood).
National Little King: You don't want us to come, do you? Yesterday you were acting like you were dying, and today when I'm telling you important matters, you're pretending to be deaf and mute?
Yu Wei: How dare I? Come early tonight. I'll be waiting for you at Port 8. We'll set sail as soon as you arrive.
National Little King: Ok.
"Alright, it's settled. Let's go buy some tofu and wild onions first," the National Little King said, putting down his phone.
"Where should we buy them? Call Young Master Qin and have him follow us when we turn back," Jiang Xin said, starting to signal for a left turn to make a U-turn.
"Do you need me to tell you where to buy them? If we can't find them, we'll grind soybeans to make tofu. You can do the grinding," the National Little King said, rolling his eyes at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin: .......
"Hey, turn your car around and follow us," the National Little King said, calling Qin Dou.
"Why are you turning around?" Qin Dou asked curiously.
"The ingredients are already bought, and the sun is about to set. Aren't we going home to cook?"
"Hurry up, why so many questions?" the National Little King urged.
"Okay."
As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, the National Little King hung up.
As Jiang Xin made the U-turn ahead, Qin Dou followed suit.
"Young Master Jiang, look there's a farm ahead. Their shop should have tofu and wild onions. Let's go ask," Xia Lin said, pointing to a farm by the road.
"Normally, most shops will have tofu, but it's hard to say about wild onions."
"If we can buy tofu, we can buy wild onions at a supermarket or a vegetable market."
"Excellent." The National Little King turned his head and gave Xia Lin a thumbs-up.
"Awesome." Jiang Xin wanted to join in the flattery.
However, as soon as the word "awesome" left his lips, the National Little King and Qin Wen looked at him with surprise. Did he have to be so uncivilized when trying to impress?
Was "awesome" appropriate to say to a lovely beauty like Xia Lin?
Although Jiang Xin was driving, he could feel their burning gazes on him.
He immediately regretted his choice of words.
Sigh...
In this day and age, even flattering someone requires sophistication.
It's too difficult.
Jiang Xin dared not speak further and drove towards the farm.
"I'll go ask. Lin'er, you guys stay in the car and enjoy the air conditioning. It's hot outside," Jiang Xin said, briskly opening the car door and getting out.
Because of his earlier slip-up, this was a good opportunity to make amends by inquiring at the farm. He couldn't miss this chance.
"Jiang Xin, what's wrong? Are we eating here tonight?" As soon as Jiang Xin got out of the car, Qin Dou and his group also got out and asked Jiang Xin.
"No, we're just buying some things. Please wait for me in the car," Jiang Xin replied, turning back and jogging towards the farm.
"What's going on? Why are we at the farm? Are we buying some dishes to take away?"
Qin Dou caught up to Jiang Xin, who was jogging, and hurried over to ask.
"Young Master Xia wants to eat home-style tofu and scrambled eggs with wild onions. We're here to see if we can find these ingredients," Jiang Xin explained.
"So smart! The farm will definitely have these. " Qin Dou praised Jiang Xin.
"It's almost rush hour. If we go back to buy ingredients now, we'll get stuck in traffic on the way back. Coming to the farm is the smartest choice."
"Uh... don't praise me. Lin'er suggested this," Jiang Xin said.
"Did I praise you? I was praising Lin'er."
Qin Dou retorted, shamelessly.
Jiang Xin: .......
They are all so outstanding.
We're all friends, so why are they so exceptional?
Jiang Xin couldn't figure it out.
"Two handsome gentlemen, are you here to eat? How many people are you?" a waitress asked as they entered the shop.
"Do you have tofu and wild onions in your shop?" Jiang Xin asked her, not answering the waitress's question.
"Yes, do you want to eat these two dishes? Our tofu and wild onions are bought from the countryside, guaranteed to suit your taste," the waitress promoted.
"Can we buy some?" Jiang Xin asked.
"Uh... I'll have to ask the boss."
It was her first time seeing someone come to a restaurant to buy raw ingredients.
"How much is one serving of these two dishes?" Qin Dou asked the waitress, who was about to leave.
"Tofu and wild onions can be made into many dishes. It depends on which one you want. The most expensive is 228," the waitress explained.
"Then let's have ten portions of each at the highest price. How about 4,500 for you? We don't need the dishes made, just give us these two ingredients directly."
Jiang Xin didn't want to waste any more time. A few thousand yuan was like dropping money on the ground without bothering to pick it up for them.
"So willful!!!"
"Uh... If that's the case, then no problem."
The waitress was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Rich people are so willful. I'm so envious."
This was the first time she had encountered such a peculiar request.
After buying them, the two men walked out of the farm with two bags of ingredients. Qin Dou said, "Working with you is so exhausting. Such a simple matter and you have to make such a fuss."
Jiang Xin: ......
"You're the second oldest, so you're always right."
After returning to the car, Jiang Xin prepared to praise Lin'er in Qin Dou's tone: "Lin'er, you're so smart! The farm really has tofu and wild onions."
Xia Lin: .......
Qin Wen: ........
National Little King: ........
This flattery is so fake, can't you even hide it a little bit!
