Jiang Ran just turned around and saw Pei Shanshan looking at her with an expression of horror.
Jiang Ran was puzzled, what's going on?
Before Jiang Ran could ask, Pei Shanshan had already looked away, her expression still a bit flustered.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Ran was puzzled but didn't ask, "Let's go!"
"Where to?"
Having followed inexplicably to the county town, it was only then that Pei Shanshan remembered to ask the reason for their visit.
Jiang Ran's purpose for coming to the county town was simple, she just wanted to see if there were many small vendors in the town and what they were selling.
Before doing business, conducting a field survey is very important.
Jiang Ran didn't answer Pei Shanshan's inquiry, "Just follow me."
With that said, Jiang Ran lifted her foot and walked forward.
Pei Shanshan stood in place, watching Jiang Ran gradually walk away, finally relaxing her heart.
This abrupt walking away is the Jiang Ran she knows.
Pei Shanshan held Pei Jing's little hand and slowly followed along.
Jiang Ran didn't walk fast, watching as she walked.
This county town isn't very big, and even fewer bustling places, with only a few main streets altogether.
It took Jiang Ran about an hour to finish walking around.
After walking around, Jiang Ran found that there were already some restaurants in the county town.
There were a few big restaurants, more small ones, and they sold a variety of things.
Probably because it was the afternoon now, she didn't see any food sold from pushcarts.
In the morning, there should be some.
Having walked for so long, Jiang Ran was a bit tired, looked around and chose a small shop to head toward.
Outside the shop were two small square tables, Jiang Ran directly sat down at one table.
She just sat down when a man in his forties or fifties came out from the shop, "What do you want to eat?"
"What do you have?" Jiang Ran countered.
"We've got noodles, rice, stir-fried dishes, see what you want to eat."
It sounded quite comprehensive.
Jiang Ran also wanted to try the dishes made by restaurants at this time, thought for a while, then ordered a twice-cooked pork, stir-fried shredded potatoes, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
After Jiang Ran ordered, the man turned around and went back into the shop without saying another word.
Jiang Ran looked at the interior of the shop briefly, then withdrew her gaze.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Pei Shanshan holding Pei Jing's hand, standing not far away looking this way, yet not coming over.
Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows and waved to them both, "What are you doing over there? Come here."
When saying these words, Jiang Ran's face showed no hint of a smile, and her tone was firm.
Because Jiang Ran knew that only by speaking this way would Pei Shanshan listen.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Ran finished speaking, Pei Shanshan led Pei Jing over.
Jiang Ran pointed to the small stool opposite her, "Sit down."
Pei Shanshan hesitated slightly but still sat down with Pei Jing.
They hadn't waited long when the man came out with the dishes.
Since it wasn't meal time, there were no other customers in the small shop, and the serving speed was naturally fast.
The first dish served was the twice-cooked pork, with thick slices of meat, a mix of fat and lean parts, stir-fried with green peppers and onions, looking glossy and full of oil.
As soon as the twice-cooked pork was set on the table, the fragrance dispersed everywhere.
Having eaten bland mixed grain noodles at noon with no trace of oiliness, now suddenly smelling such a rich meat fragrance, even Jiang Ran who had been accustomed to good food in her past life, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
