72: Chapter 72 Blush-inducing Shared Snacks
"This way... er..." Tang Luochuan quickly pretended nothing had happened and pointed nearby: "There aren't those snacks you mentioned here, but there is some... stinky tofu, grilled squid, grilled oysters, and things like that, plus fried pancakes, fried noodles... starch sausages! What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, I don't know." Su Wantang's mind was filled with the scene from just a moment ago; how could she know what she wanted to eat?
Tang Luochuan continued walking forward, his voice no longer frivolous: "Alright then, I'll just pick some things to buy."
Walking up to a small stall, Tang Luochuan scanned the code directly: "Boss, one medium portion of stinky tofu, extra pickled mustard greens! That's 15, right?"
"That's right!" The boss was a middle-aged woman. She glanced at him, heard the payment notification, and immediately started preparing it.
This whole process was exceptionally interesting in Su Wantang's eyes. She leaned in, curiously watching how the other person fried the tofu: "It smells so good! Is it just one portion? Aren't you eating?"
"Why wouldn't I eat? Coming to a snack street is about getting one portion for two people to share."
"Ah?" The blush that had just faded from Su Wantang's face rose again: "Two people sharing?"
Tang Luochuan explained: "We definitely can't just stop at one place; there's more behind us! If we get two portions, we won't be able to eat much. Grilled cold noodles! Starch sausages, grilled scallops, oysters... and drinks, we'll only order one of each! That way we can try more things..."
"That seems reasonable, but don't you think it's strange?" Su Wantang was a bit bewildered. In her mind, takeout came with as many sets of chopsticks as there were people.
She was going to use the same tableware as Tang Luochuan?
The girl was a bit nervous but didn't dare say anything more, fearing it was because she hadn't seen enough of the world.
However, the truth was, she hadn't seen much of the world.
When the stinky tofu was served, the landlady warmly inserted two toothpicks.
The girl realized then; eat with toothpicks, each using their own.
"Why do I feel like you're about to cook?" Tang Luochuan took the stinky tofu and glanced at the girl. This person's face was already red beyond help.
"No, it's just a bit hot." After saying that, she used her hand like a fan and fanned herself a few times.
Tang Luochuan handed the food over: "Eat."
"Oh~~"
The girl picked up a toothpick, skewered a piece of tofu, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes immediately lit up: "It's delicious! I've had Changsha stinky tofu, but always from a restaurant! This is pretty good too."
"Heh, from a restaurant? That's just to rip off you rich people."
"As if you aren't rich. I'm having another one..."
The two of them wandered along as they continued forward!
...
On the outskirts of the night market, the cadillac finally arrived.
"Damn, this kid drives so aggressively!" Old Zhang cursed as soon as he got out of the car.
"Boss, there are even more people here!" A yellow-haired man stepped forward, looking at the bustling night market.
Old Zhang looked around: "Don't look for the person, look for the car! His car is eye-catching, a BMW X7! And it's all construction sites around here! He's dead once he leaves the night market."
...
Inside the night market, the two bought a few more snacks and two drinks.
Su Wantang was eating with gusto: "There's a ring toss over there... wow... and fortune telling too."
"Just how little of the world have you seen?" Tang Luochuan laughed.
Su Wantang puffed out her cheeks and muttered: "Don't make fun of me. If you brought Jiang Jinyue here, she'd be dumbfounded too."
"That is actually true!" Tang Luochuan had just asked Jiang Jinyue if she wanted to eat anything.
That side was also in a daze, and it was Shen Muyan who helped her order a few extra portions.
Su Wantang was feeling a bit choked at the moment. She glanced at the drink in Tang Luochuan's hand and snatched it over: "I'm going to go check out the ring toss."
"Hey?"
Tang Luochuan wanted to say something, but the girl had already trotted off ahead.
"That was mine, damn it~~" The boy sighed, only to find the girl already biting on the straw.
He couldn't help but whisper: "Do young ladies from wealthy families all like biting straws?"
"Tang Luochuan, come here quickly!" Su Wantang waved her hand, as if she had discovered something interesting.
"What is it!"
"Look at that..."
Tang Luochuan followed her hand and looked over. It was a doll, a low-quality imitation labubu.
"Interesting, right!" Su Wantang pursed her lips, her eyes shining.
Tang Luochuan chuckled: "You like it?"
"I like it!!"
The boy set the food in his hand aside. Ring toss was too simple for him.
This could be considered a form of "exercise." With his Body Enhancement, his aim was naturally impeccable.
"Boss! Give me 60 rings!" Tang Luochuan shouted.
The boss immediately came over: "Young man, 25 yuan for 60, 35 yuan for 80! The 35 one is a better deal!"
Tang Luochuan glanced at the prizes and said: "My car won't fit it!!"
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"Just buy 60 rings!"
"Fine!" The boss didn't continue and counted out 60 rings directly.
Tang Luochuan scanned the code to pay.
After getting the rings, he first handed ten to Su Wantang: "You try first!"
"Mm!!" Su Wantang nodded proudly. In her opinion, this was very simple.
The items in front were small, but close!
The ones in the back were far, but big!
Observing with the naked eye, she felt it would be very easy to hit...
"Go!"
Su Wantang threw the first ring confidently. As a result, the plastic ring drew a graceful arc in the air and flew directly past the entire row of prizes.
She was greedy and wanted to ring the largest prize directly, resulting in it flying too far.
"Another one!" Su Wantang aimed at the largest prize, no longer caring about the imitation labubu.
She threw it again, and this time it was even further off the mark.
The boss on the side stood with his hands behind his back, watching her with a smile, and even pretended to be kind by teaching her: "Little girl, your hand isn't steady, you need to keep it flat!"
This guy was purely showing off his kindness hypocritically.
How could he possibly let Su Wantang hit anything.
Nine rings down, none hit. It was the last one.
Su Wantang looked at the closest one in front of her and decided not to be greedy anymore, at least to break even.
The toy car in front was only ten centimeters big. One look and you could tell it was plastic trash that you could buy a pair of for 5 yuan; the wheels probably didn't even move.
Su Wantang held the last ring, looking focused. She gently extended her arm, and just as she was about to throw it, she suddenly retracted it. She measured it back and forth three or four times, but didn't dare to make the move.
"Just throw it." Tang Luochuan felt a bit dizzy from being swayed.
"Wait for me to aim!"
"It's only a three or four-meter distance..."
Su Wantang glared fiercely at Tang Luochuan, her cheeks still carrying an unscattered blush: "Why are you rushing me? Do you know what it means to strive for perfection!"
As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, her willow eyebrows furrowed, her eyes locked dead on that little broken car, and she gently flicked her wrist—
"Pat!"
The plastic ring grazed the edge of the toy car, slammed heavily onto the ground, bounced twice, and rolled to the boss's feet.
Su Wantang's face fell instantly, her mouth pouted enough to hang an oil pot.
