Xia He immediately said, “Are you from the capital too?”

“No, no, no. I’m from Lian City. It’s rare to see my fellow citizens here! What are you doing here?” the lady boss asked curiously.

“For school. I’m studying in the school down the road,” Qiao Mei said truthfully.

“That’s good! Since you’re studying there, you can come to our place for meals often! I’ll give you a discount!” the lady boss said.

“Thank you, Lady Boss!” Xia He said happily.

Qiao Mei ordered two of the signature dishes here, One was braised pork and the other was boiled cabbage. Just the two dishes already cost 110 dollars. With this amount of money, she could order a full banquet in the capital!

“Qiao Mei, this is so expensive!” Xia He whispered as she clutched her wallet with heartache.

Qiao Mei looked around and said in a low voice, “It’s fine. Just treat it as an experience. Keep your wallet safe. There are all types of people here. I heard from Eldest Brother that it’s not as safe here as in the capital. Be careful not to get robbed.”

“Hmph, if anyone wants to snatch my wallet! He needs to make sure he can keep his life first!” Xia He said confidently.

“It’s better to be more careful and not cause trouble,” Qiao Mei said.

“Noted.” Xia He quickly put her wallet into the inner pocket of her clothes. She silently sized up the customers in the restaurant. Most of them were students from the school and did not seem to be a threat.

The dishes were served very quickly and looked good. Xia He tasted the boiled cabbage first but did not dare to spit it out in front of the lady boss. After the lady boss left, Xia He secretly picked up the serviette and spat the cabbage inside before throwing it away.

“It’s better if you don’t eat it. I’ve never eaten anything so disgusting…” Xia He said with a frown.

“Is that so? Let me try.” Qiao Mei picked up a piece and tried it. She had the same pained expression as Xia He. In her other life, when she traveled to this country, the food she ate then did not taste so bad. She wondered what had gone wrong.

The boiled cabbage was oddly sweet , extremely sweet. It was so cloying that it made her throat hurt. As for the braised pork, it tasted the same. She was very sure that there were at least three spoonfuls of white sugar added to the dish.

Xia He looked at the menu repeatedly and then at the customers in the restaurant. It was mealtime and the restaurant was filled with people. There were other restaurants and cafeterias along the street, but there were not as many people there. This meant that this restaurant served food that catered to the masses.

“Don’t tell me… the people here like this taste? That’s impossible. Isn’t that lady boss from Lian City? If so, they definitely know how to make authentic hometown dishes,” Xia He said.

“l guess the people here can’t accept the taste from back home. Let’s try the food elsewhere,” Qiao Mei said.

They walked along the streets aimlessly. There were also many jewelry shops and boutiques on the streets. They did not have much of an appetite today to try any other food. As they walked further inwards, the area looked less prosperous from the area where they entered. It was very quiet and there were very few people walking around. The shops around here did not have much business. They realized that there was a specialty snack shop with the words “For rent” hanging on a sign.

‘Qiao Mei, look! What’s written on it? I can’t understand,” Xia He asked as she pointed at the sign.

“They want to rent out this shop. Let’s go in and ask,” Qiao Mei said.

“Forget it, Qiao Meie This shop is really too far in. It’s not suitable for us. We’ll definitely lose money here,” Xia He said hesitantly.

“Let’s just go and find out the market rate and understand the market. Otherwise, what if we get cheated in the future?” Qiao Mei said.

“Alright, what you say makes sense.” After saying that, Xia He walked towards the specialty snack shop with Qiao Mei.

The owner of the specialty snack shop was a woman. After chatting with her, Qiao Mei and Xia He found out that her name was Alice. In fact, she had wanted to sell the shop at first, but this was the shop that she had opened with her husband. Her husband had passed away many years ago and this was the only thing that he left behind. Therefore, she could not bear to sell it.

She had only one son. After her son grew up, he worked very hard, had a job with a stable income and made quite a lot of money. She was old and did not want to continue working so hard. She wanted to travel and see the world, so she decided to rent out this shop..
