Chapter 96: The Roasted Pork Trotters Looks Delicious

As they approached the food street, they saw skewers, poached chicken, hot and sour glass noodles, cold skin, stinky tofu, Langya potatoes etc. There were many other snacks that they had never seen before.

The little guy held his mother’s hand tightly as he walked and drooled. He wanted to eat.

It smelled so good.

Jiang Tingxu did not dare to take her son to eat these. However, she might be interested in trying them herself.

Finally, the mother and son entered a relatively clean and tidy crawfish shop.

“Are there only two of you?” The lady boss went up to them and asked.

“Yes.”

“Okay, okay. Please come in. Table six.”

“Thank you.”

The little guy had never entered these small street shops.

Usually, the driver would pick him up and drop him off at school. He would go home via the main road, and never had to go through these alleys!

“What do you want to eat? Uh, I forgot, you seem to have already eaten dinner.”

Just as Jiang Tingxu finished speaking, the little guy beside him spoke in a hurry:

“Ningning didn’t eat his fill for dinner. He is still hungry.”

It didn’t sound like she was intending to feed him anything.

But since they were already out, how could they go back without eating anything?

Moreover, these things looked very delicious. Even if he had already eaten dinner, he could still eat two big bowls now.

“Jiang Tingxu!”

As he spoke, he became even more anxious.

Jiang Tingxu had already finished flipping through the menu. She looked up at her son, who looked very eager to start eating:

“Are you sure that your small stomach can hold more?”

The little guy immediately patted his small belly, and with an imposing manner that could swallow mountains and rivers, he said,

“Yes!”

“Alright.”

The waitress was called over, and they ordered the signature crayfish braised with the shop’s secret spicy sauce, and a stir-fried cockles dish. Because the child was there, she also specially ordered a dish of fresh noodles with shrimp sauce that was not spicy.

However, the child did not seem to be very satisfied:

“Jiang Tingxu, roasted pork trotters!”

“Good boy, we can’t finish that. If we can’t finish it, it’ll be a waste. Could we eat that next time?”

“But Ningning wants to eat it. That roasted pork trotters looks very delicious.”

“Uh... then you choose. Do you want to eat crayfish or roasted pork trotters?”

Since you want to eat it so much, I’ll leave the decision to you.

Pfft, he probably never thought that his mother could be so sly!

It was really difficult to choose between the crayfish and the roasted pork trotters.

With a conflicted face, he thought for a long time but still could not make a decision.

The waitress who standing beside him could not help but laugh:

“Little kid, it’s fine. Take your time and choose what you want to eat the most.”

But this put him in a difficult position.

After a long time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind:

“Auntie, we’ll have crayfish this time round. We can eat pork trotters next time.”

His heart ached so much.

Jiang Tingxu held back her laughter and nodded at the waitress:

“Give him another bottle of yogurt, the small one.”

“Okay, please wait a moment. It will be ready soon.”

While they were waiting, the store also gave them a plate of edamame. Jiang Tingxu peeled one for herself and fed one to her son.

All their orders had been served by the time they were done with the edamame. The waitress even thoughtfully prepared a set of cutlery which had been cleaned with boiling water.

“Enjoy.”

“Thank you.”

The little guy also thanked her like his mother did:

“Thank you, Auntie.”

“No need, no need. The little kid is really cute.”

The little guy who was praised actually blushed. His small body also seemed to be very uncomfortable, as he twisted awkwardly in his seat.

Pfft, was he feeling shy?

Who would have thought that he was actually an introverted and shy little boy!

She used her chopsticks to pick up some fresh shrimp noodles for her son’s bowl, then scooped up a few spoonfuls of shrimp juice:

“Let’s eat.”
