It was almost noon when we arrived in town. Zeng Haoze invited everyone to dinner and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Xiang Jin said, "When we get to town, where can we go to eat somewhere else? Let's go to our house to eat. I guess my uncle and aunt have already prepared the ingredients!"

Zeng Haoze turned his head and looked at Yan Chen, and Yan Chen nodded towards him, so Zeng Haoze turned his head and started driving again, "Which way are you going?"

Xiang Jin said, "Go straight to the opposite side of the town!"

When they arrived at the shop, Xiang Jin's mother and uncle were busy. After Xiang Jin and the others briefly greeted everyone, they led everyone inside to find an empty table and sit down.

"Girl Jin, the food is half done. There are still a few vegetables that haven't been fried. Why don't you go stir-fry them yourself?" Her second aunt said to Xiang Jin as she passed by them carrying two baskets of hot buns.

.

"Oh, okay, second aunt!" Xiang Jin responded and stood up, "You guys sit down for a while and I'll go take a look in the kitchen. Also, if you want to drink water, you can pour it yourself?"

"Well, you go ahead," Yan Chen stood up, took the kettle on the side and poured a glass of water for everyone.

Xiang Jin went to the kitchen and washed his hands, and found that what had been prepared was a steamed pork ribs, a steamed pork ribs with rice flour, and a fish stewed with tofu.

The three dishes seemed a little not enough? Xiang Jin turned sideways and looked at the chopping board next to him, and saw some prepared vegetables waiting to be stir-fried there.

Okay, let’s stir-fry some vegetables and make some soup!

After Xiang Jin made up his mind, he washed the pot and went to light the fire, but at this moment Yan Chen walked in with his sleeves rolled up, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Xiang Jin looked at him and nodded, "Are you good at cooking vegetarian dishes?"

Yan Chen hesitated and nodded, "Yeah!"

Xiang Jin hurriedly took an apron from the wall not far away and handed it to him, "Okay, you can fry this vegetarian dish later, and I'll cook the pot!" According to his mysophobic personality, he definitely didn't want to cook the pot to light up the fire.

Yes, so she didn't force him.

Seeing the apron she handed over, Yan Chen did not reach out to take it, but said, "No need!"

"Okay," Xiang Jin turned around and hung up the apron again, then walked behind the stove to light the fire. Yan Chen went to wash his hands and came back and asked, "Are we just going to stir-fry vegetables?"

"Well, let's make some winter melon and meatball soup later."

"good!"

"Is four dishes and one soup enough? Oh no, five dishes and one soup. Let my mother and the others cut plates of braised beef for us later!"

"That's enough! Do you want to go find them after dinner?"

"Today? There's no need for today. Your brother and Yan Fei are both here. I think it's better not to let them know about this?" Xiang Jin hesitated for a moment and then said.

Yan Chen said, "Okay, then when you come to the street another day, tell me and I will go with you."

"It's okay, I can handle it myself when the time comes!" Xiang Jin put two more twigs into the stove.

"You are alone, what should you do if you encounter danger? Should I come with you?"

Xiang Jin said, "Probably not. There are Little Curly Hair and Little Yellow Hair."

"Do you believe them too?" The pot was hot, and Yan Chen poured a little oil into the pot.

Xiang Jin said, "There are three of us here, how can we be considered to have strength in numbers?"

Yan Chen asked back, "How do you know that there is only one person there, what if there are several people there? Besides, the man named Wang is not a good person, so you'd better be careful!"

"But?!" Xiang Jin hesitated.

Yan Chen said, "I know what you are worried about, but it's nothing, that's settled! Don't worry, no one will know about this, and it won't implicate me!"

"Okay," Xiang Jin finally agreed after hesitating for a moment.

Yan Chen put the green vegetables into the pot and began to stir-fry them in an orderly manner.

"Girl Jin, do you want some more fried rice noodles? I'll bring some for you. If you want to eat, just fry it yourself?" At this moment, Xiang Jin's second aunt came in with a small bamboo basket.

, seeing Yan Chen cooking, she was stunned for a moment, and then said.

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and said, "It's been a long time since I've had fried rice noodles? Do you want to eat it? If so, let's fry one?"

Yan Chen put the dishes on the plate, "Have you eaten so much?"

"You should finish eating!" Xiang Jin walked out from behind the stove, "When you finish frying these vegetarian dishes, I will make ants climbing the tree. Speaking of which, there happens to be minced meat here.

But it’s a bit of a mistake, I should have cooked the soup first. You see, after frying this vegetable, it gets cold after being left out for a long time, and the color is not good-looking either.”

Yan Chen said, "Then we won't stir-fry or cook dumpling soup. Let's just make pickled cabbage and vermicelli soup. I think this is pretty good, and it's also fast! The most important thing is that there are already so many meats and vegetables.

There is really no need to cook another dumpling soup."

Xiang Jin thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll make ants on the tree for you next time." After saying that, she added some water to the pot and quickly washed the pot.

, then added some water into it, and then added the seasonings.

Just when they were halfway through the meal, Yan Chen saw the little yellow guy poking his head outside the shop. He immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, saying that it was a bit boring because there were so many people in the room, and he went out to take a breather!

Everyone knew that he had a history of mysophobia, but they didn't pay much attention to what he said.

After Yan Chen went out, he led the little yellow guy to the street at the corner next to him, "How did you find this place?"

The little Huangmao said, "We have found the turtle grandson. We have been following him for several days. No, we haven't seen you all the time. Aren't we a little anxious? We can only come here to find you."

Already."

Yan Chen said, "Don't worry, since I promised you things, I won't regret it. We just came back after the exam."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," the little yellow-haired man suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard what he was thinking, and then he kept responding.

Yan Chen asked, "Where is he?"

The little Huang Mao said, "First we found him in a bathhouse over there at the Zhu'er Market, and then we kept following him, and then we found out that he always went to a teahouse over there on Xinyang Street.

Playing cards, we stay there all day, and sometimes we play all night, and my brother is still there to guard me at the moment, what do you think, do you want to go there?"

"Do you know where he lives?" Yan Chen asked without answering.

The little yellow haired man nodded his head, "Oh, I know, I know, we followed him to his home!"

"Who is in his family?"

"It seems like there are his parents, his wife and son!"

Yan Chen frowned, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "You and your brother can use this money to buy some food.

Then help us keep an eye on him for two days, and what else?" At this point, he raised his finger at the other party.

Xiao Huangmao was very sensible and listened to him, and then Yan Chen whispered a few words to him softly. The other person's eyes widened immediately, looking a little embarrassed.

Yan Chen said, "Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, he will never find out who you are, and no one will know that it was you who did it. If you do it well, we will still be there when the time comes."

I’ll give you an additional five hundred yuan each!”

"Really, really?" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on the other person's face.

"nature!"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Huangmao immediately agreed, "Okay, then it's settled? But you guys have to come quickly, this matter can't be delayed for too long!"

Yan Chen gave them a promise, "Okay, the day after tomorrow, we will take to the streets the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay! Then we'll come back to you then!" After saying that, the little yellow guy turned around and left.

After dinner, Yan Chen took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and said to Xiang Jin, "Just now Xiao Huangmao has found the person, I asked them to continue to follow, we will go to the streets the day after tomorrow!"

"Found it?!" Xiang Jin was surprised, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, "He is indeed still in this town!"

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, I've been looking for him for several days. They have been following each other these past few days."

Xiang Jin said, "How about you go back first, and I won't go back for the time being?"

Yan Chen disagreed, "It's better to go back. What I agreed with the other party is the day after tomorrow."

"What if he runs away again?" Xiang Jin was a little worried about this.

"Don't worry, he can't run away. They followed him to his home!"

"That's good, that's good," Xiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is this good?" Xiang Jin and her uncle asked as he passed by them.

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I borrowed a book from our library before, and it seemed to have been left where we were eating yesterday. I thought it was lost, and I would have to pay the school for compensation.

Yan Chen just said that he picked up the book."

"Oh, is that what it is? Just be careful from now on," her uncle laughed and followed.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, that's right!"

After Xiang Jin also got out of the car, Yan Chen and his cousin gave Yan Chen a funny look in the rearview mirror, and then asked, "At that time in town, you and that girl Xiang Jin were talking about something.

What?"

Yan Chen said, "It's nothing, I just said a few words!"

Zeng Haoze glanced at him again in the rearview mirror, and then sighed, "Hey, they say that girls can't be admitted in college, and this boy is also worrying when he is older. Do you like that girl?"

"Yeah!" Yan Chen didn't hide anything and admitted it generously.

Zeng Haoze was surprised for a moment, then the smile on his lips grew deeper, "Good taste!"
