CHAPTER 67

Yang Yunyan has always been praised since she was a child, but no one has ever said this to her.

Yang Yunyan’s face turned red all the way to her ears.

The girl in green was a little better than Yang Yunyan in terms of mentality. She sneered and said, “They say that there is no business without fraud. In order to keep the customers, you actually said that the Malatang restaurant on South Street is also yours. You are obviously talking nonsense.”

Su Wan ignored the girl in green and said to the diners, “If you don’t believe me, when you get to South Street, you can ask the stall owner there to see if they are the same stall owner as the one on this snack street.”

Su Wan’s tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt.

A customer said, “If this snack street is from the same store as the one on South Street, how can the taste be any different? Why are we walking there? We can just wait here.”

Someone agreed, “That’s right, why bother running to South Street? I’m already hungry. If I run to South Street, I’ll collapse on the ground.”

Another customer also said, “That’s right, I think this Malatang is delicious. Even if the one on South Street is better, I still like this one. Since this one opened on Snack Street, I have to come here every now and then to eat. I miss it so much if I don’t eat here. If you want to change places, you can go, but I won’t.”

Obviously, because of Su Wan’s firm tone, everyone believed that the restaurant on South Street and Snack Street was the same one, so the diners who had just moved away came back to line up.

However, there were still a dozen or so men. Seeing that Yang Yunyan and the others were going to eat at South Street, they decided to go to South Street to eat in order to be with them.

“I’d better go to South Street to eat. Yang Yunyan is the most talented woman in Qingyun County. You don’t see her on weekdays. I still have a few poems I want to ask her.”

The dozen or so men all walked near Yang Yunyan.

Before, Yang Yunyan thought that the reputation of Beauty of Snack Street had greatly overshadowed her. Now these men were willing to change places for her, which made Yang Yunyan feel very happy.

After hearing what the man said, several men who were about to go back to line up were shaken and joined the group that was heading to South Street.

Yang Yunyan found out that the Malatang restaurants on South Street and Snack Street were from the same owner, and she felt mixed emotions. But now, seeing so many people following her, Yang Yunyan felt that even if these two restaurants were owned by Su Wan, she would still not be as good as herself.

When Su Wan was selling Malatang on the snack street, she gained the reputation of being the beauty of the snack street. Many diners came to her because of her reputation, but Su Wan didn’t really care.

But later, when she had the idea of finding the store with the best taste and opening a branch, Su Wan thought that she should not let these effects affect her judgment, so she put on a mask and a headscarf, one for cleanliness and the other for covering her face.

Many people followed Yang Yunyan, but there were also a few who did not buy it.

A middle-aged woman with a child sat at a stall and ate spicy hot pot while saying, “What the hell is this talented woman? She’s full of lies. She just said that the one on South Street is ten times better than this one. They’re both run by the same company, so even if there’s a difference, it’s not ten times. What kind of talented woman is she?”

As soon as the woman said this, the child next to her said, “Mom, our teacher taught us that we should speak truthfully and not lie.”

Yang Yunyan’s face, which had just turned pale, turned even redder. Even if the one on South Street also belonged to Su Wan, she had to insist that the one on South Street tasted better. Otherwise, in front of so many people, she would be regarded as a liar that even a child would be ashamed of.

Yang Yunyan insisted, “Obviously the one on South Street tastes better; otherwise, why would I go all the way to South Street?”

An old man in the queue said, “You are just idle. People like you who are lazy and don’t know how to distinguish between grains can run from the north end to the south end just to eat. You must have nothing better to do.”

Su Wan smiled and said to the diners, “The clear soup at the South Street restaurant tastes exactly the same as this one, but the spicy one there is not as spicy as this one. Also, if you eat at the South Street restaurant, they will give you a side dish. If you have time, when you pass by South Street, you can go and try the difference between the one at South Street and this one.”

The old man who had just spoken said, “Yes, this kid speaks the truth. If you have time, go to South Street when you pass by. Otherwise, why are you running around?”

Many diners expressed their agreement, that is, since they were at this stall, they would eat at the one on the snack street first. However, they were also very curious about the one on South Street, and they would definitely try it if they passed by one day.

Now, the diners waiting in line and sitting down to eat were all whispering to each other. The words spoken by this most talented woman just now were a little too exaggerated, and her words were very precise.

Su Wan had heard all of this. Yang Yunyan’s character had collapsed.

Su Wan smiled at Yang Yunyan and said, “Thank you, Miss Yunyan, too. Miss Yunyan helped me to say this. Everyone wants to go to South Street to try it. You have really helped me a lot.”

Yang Yunyan was holding her breath, but she couldn’t let it out. What was wrong with this? Moreover, she had never been so embarrassed since she was a child.

Yang Yunyan suppressed her discomfort and said to Su Wan, “I still prefer the one on South Street.”

Since that’s what I said at the beginning, I have to stick to it now no matter what. Otherwise, it will turn from exaggerating to going back on my word, which will be even more embarrassing.

Though Yang Yunyan lost face, it did not affect the pursuit of Yang Yunyan by those lechers. One of the men said, “Wherever Miss Yunyan says the food is good, then that’s the place. Wherever Miss Yunyan goes to eat, we will go there to eat.”

The other one said, “I have a few poems I want to discuss with Miss Yunyan. Let’s go to the restaurant on South Street together. The taste is the same anyway, so it doesn’t matter where we eat.”

Yang Yunyan, “…” This person’s words were not trying to please her; they were slapping her in the face. She had clearly said that the ones from South Street tasted better, but this person still said they were all the same.

Yang Yunyan rolled her eyes in her heart at the person who said they tasted the same, but she still smiled gently at the man. Now everyone was talking about her, and these people were still following her, which also saved some face for her and confirmed her status as the most talented woman in Qingyun County.

Yang Yunyan said in the direction of those gentlemen, “Gentlemen, let’s go to the store on South Street together.”

The ethics and morals in today’s society are not very strict, and both men and women can come together, not to mention several men and several women, so Yang Yunyan’s invitation is not out of the ordinary.

Yang Yunyan had already invited them, and a few young men came out of the team and approached Yang Yunyan, wanting to go to South Street with them.

Just at this moment, Su Wan saw Mrs. Shen appear in front of the stall. Mrs. Shen was struggling to identify which one of the people wearing hats and masks was Su Wan.

Mrs. Shen was quite far away, separated from the other diners by a large distance. Su Wan shouted that it was not appropriate, and it was not easy to walk through the crowd. So, Su Wan waved at Mrs. Shen but saw that Mrs. Shen’s eyes were still puzzled.

So, Su Wan took off her mask and waved towards Mrs. Shen so that Mrs. Shen could recognize where she was.

The moment Su Wan took off her mask, a young man who was about to follow Yang Yunyan turned around and saw a godlike face. The young man was stunned.
