Chapter 12: Sweet and Salty Bean Flower
Chapter 12
A Fairy Restaurant opened next to University Town!
The boss and boss lady looked like they were fairies!
The food at their restaurant tasted heavenly!
The news quickly spread to the ears of the middle schoolers. They loved coming here in the mornings to eat a few buns and drink a bowl of porridge, listening to the boss lady's gentle greetings.
Sometimes the boss would frown, but when he saw the pregnant boss lady, the storm clouds on his face would part.
Wang Dong came to eat breakfast as usual today, and suddenly noticed the decor of the little shop had changed.
On the floor was an iron bucket as tall as a grown man's waist. Next to the table were two large pots.
Curious, he asked Ding Sha, "Sister Sha Sha, what's this? A new item?"
Ding Sha lifted the lid to show him the white, hot, tender douhua that would break with the slightest poke.
The bursting aroma of beans made people revert to their most primal desires.
And that was to eat.
This was actually a clever idea Ding Sha had come up with.
Seeing the two pots, Wang Dong suddenly had a strange premonition. "Sister Sha Sha, you wouldn't..."
"Ding ding!" Ding Sha lifted the lids off the two big pots.
Sure enough, one pot contained sticky, sweet red sugar water, while the other had a salty broth made from yellow flowering cabbage, wood ear mushroom, and egg.
The alternating sweet and salty scents were irresistible.
Wang Dong stared open-mouthed at the two pots. After a long pause, he wailed, "Sister Sha Sha! How could you!!"
Ding Sha laughed heartily. "Which flavor do you want?"
The girls froze for a moment, blinking their eyes, but quieted down.
They took small sips from each other's bowls of douhua, eyes lighting up in surprise. "It's...not as bad as I imagined..."
The other girl clearly felt the same. After drinking two more mouthfuls, she bashfully apologized, "Sorry Xiaoxiao, I shouldn't have said you don't have any taste..."
"I was wrong too..."
The two girls held hands as they happily went off to school after paying.
Wang Dong beside them couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
A thought struck him. If only his parents could understand each other like this too...
Xiao Jun walked over from the back yard, pouring a large basin of freshly cooked salty broth into the pot. "Hungry?"
Ding Sha shook her head. "Not hungry at all."
Lately Ding Sha had entered a period of crazy morning sickness. She threw up anything she ate, and even if she didn't eat she still threw up.
In just a few days, all the weight she had previously gained was lost.
Seeing this, Xiao Jun felt heartache. He was always trying new ways to make delicious food to nourish her.
The breakfast crowd slowly dispersed. Ding Sha sat on a recliner playing on her phone.
Suddenly she saw a video that made her start drooling from craving.
"What's up?" Xiao Jun walked over carrying a large bunch of flower seedlings.
"Can you make this?" Ding Sha hurriedly showed him her phone.
Xiao Jun put down the seedlings and wiped his hands with a towel before bending over to look. "You want to eat it? Spicy pickled tomatoes?"
"I want it!"
