Chapter 16

The weather in Zhao Jia's village is cold in winter and hot in summer, so even wearing short clothes is unbearably hot, not to mention Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning have been near the fire, so their faces are sweating like rain. But there was no time to wipe them off.

Zhao Zheng'an came back from collecting the money and stood next to his wife as usual, just in time to see a drop of sweat being shone by the sun in folds. He pursed his lips unhappily, his eyes looked around, then he picked up his sleeve to wiped it on Zhong Ziqi's forehead carefully, like wiping some precious treasure.

Zhong Ziqi didn't need to look up to know who it was. His handsome face unconsciously rose into a smile.

Zhao Ning was so close to them that he couldn't help but snickersnicker, "You're so in love. I'm so jealous!"

Zhong Ziqi's poisonous tongue then shot back, "Don't worry! You won't have to be envious any time soon."

Zhao Ning shut up abruptly. This year, he was already at the age of marriage which is sixteen years old and it would be hard to find one at an older age. So recently, his Amu has started looking for someone for him.

Zhao Sheng watched the scene in silence, his eyes flashing with laughter, his younger brother never able to win over Qi Ge'er in talking. In the past, Qi Ge'er was quiet and did not like to talk. His younger brother was always the one who was chattering non stop. Occasionally, Qi Ge'er would say a few sharp words when he was angry, leaving his little brother speechless.Qi Ge'er is now much more cheerful than before, every time he speaks out,Zhao Ning is unable to take advantage of him.

As it got hotter and hotter, more and more people were coming, therefore they couldn't fit in his small stall. Uncle Song didn't mind people coming to sit in his stall because they were familiar and mutually beneficial to each other. On the other hand, he didn't know the other stall owners well, even though they all showed him kindness, he didn't want to beg.

It was just that there were more and more people here, they were crowding the road. What to do? Zhong Ziqi looked on worriedly, wondering if there was anything he could do to ease the situation.

When his sorrowful eyes inadvertently swept across Zhao Zheng'an walking back with the empty bowl, his eyes suddenly lit up.He spoke quietly to Zhao Sheng, only to see Zhao Sheng give him a very puzzled look and walk away.

Zhong Ziqi cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Everyone, uncle, Amu, as you can see, my stall is really too small. With people crowding around, it's really affecting you from eating your food.From now on, you can take the noodles and the bowl with you for seven wen while eating it anywhere you like. But don't worry, the two wen is a deposit for the bowl.If you return the bowl, we'll refund your money. If you don't return the bowl, the money is for the bowl. What do you think?" The bowls were originally two wen each, so Zhong Ziqi did not raise the price.

This was the first time they had seen this way of doing business, when they thought about it, it was not to their disadvantage, so they agreed to it. It was hard to bear for them to cram in too.

In a short while, Zhao Sheng, who had gone out, came back, surprisingly holding a small ink stone with a brush in it, containing black ink. It turned out that Zhao Sheng had gone out to borrow a brush and ink from Uncle Huang's house as instructed by Zhong Ziqi.

Zhong Ziqi took the brush and said to the surprised crowd with a smile, "I have a total of thirty bowls here. In order to prevent people from using their own bowls as a counterfeit, I have to mark all the bowls. Even if someone impersonates mine, I will still recognise them. This is also a guarantee for everyone, I hope you understand."

Some people were annoyed, some were embarrassed, some were impressed and some were bright-eyed, the reactions varied. Zhong Ziqi took all these reactions in his eyes and just laughed, only whether this laugh was a sneer or not was unknown.
