Chapter 347: 111: The lovely Mrs. Shangguan, heavily mistreats the family of Qian Zhaodi_2
Ni Yang’s remarks completely astonished the three generations at the table.
Ordinary people wouldn’t know so much about chili peppers.
Chili peppers are a very common vegetable in daily life, and people only know that they’re spicy and appetizing. Other than doctors and nutritionists, few people are aware of its numerous benefits.
If she understands even chili peppers so clearly, just how vast is her knowledge?
After witnessing Ni Yang’s fluent French, Shangguan Xu was astounded by her for the second time.
She resembled the calm, placid deep sea. You’d never know what treasures lay beneath the surface, each revelation bringing a unique surprise.
“Young lady, you’re impressive!” sparks practically twinkled in the old lady Shangguan’s eyes. “You outshine my two turtle-like grandkids by a mile! I like you!”
Old Madam Shangguan was a very cute old lady. To her, all people are equal and she didn’t look down on individual practitioners nor would she discriminate against anyone because of their occupations.
Ni Yang smiled gently. “You’re too kind, ma’am.”
After settling on the food order, Ni Yang went to take orders from the other tables.
Old Madam Shangguan looked at Shangguan Xu slyly. “Xiaoxu, what is the name of this young lady?”
“Ni Yang,” Shangguan Xu explained: “Ni as a single person, and Yang like smoke rising from warm jade under the sun.”
Lan Tian jade is a type of pale blue jade with a hint of light green. When sunlight shines upon it, a hazy blue mist arises akin to smoke, creating an ethereal landscape.
Shangguan Xi exclaimed, “Wow! What a beautiful name. Truly, her name matches her.”
Old Madam Shangguan continued, “How many people are in the young lady’s family? How old is she this year?”
Tongue-tied, Shangguan Xu retorted: “Are you the director of the family planning bureau doing a census?”
Old Madam Shangguan sighed, “How can such a pretty girl not be my granddaughter? If she were my granddaughter, I’d go into the temple to burn incense every day!”
Shangguan Xu, Shangguan Xi: “…”
Is it really okay for you to disdain your own grandchildren like this?
Soon, Ni Yang brought over three bowls of noodles and a portion of Kanto Stew.
“It smells so good!” Old Madam Shangguan rubbed her hands together impatiently.
“Careful, it’s hot. This is your complimentary dish.”
“Okay, thank you, young lady.” Old Madam Shangguan continued, “Young lady, I heard others calling you Yangyang, may I call you that as well?”
Old Madam Shangguan had her own plans and naturally wanted to get on good terms with Ni Yang. Moreover, she genuinely liked Ni Yang.
Ni Yang nodded, “Of course.”
Old Madam Shangguan smiled, “Yangyang, thank you for putting up with an old woman like me.”
“Then I’ll call you Yangyang too.” Shangguan Xi introduced herself cheerfully, “Yangyang, my name is Shangguan Xi, and Shangguan Xu is my brother. Just call me Xixi.”
Ni Yang being straightforward responded, “Xixi.”
Shangguan Xu: Going by this trend, shouldn’t Ni Yang call him Xuxu?
But before Ni Yang got to call him Xuxu, she went off to take orders for other tables.
Old Madam Shangguan stirred her bowl, “This is my first time eating Beef Noodles. You guys should try the Pickled Vegetable Noodles, they’re really delicious!”
Shangguan Xi took a whiff, “Hmm, indeed it smells delicious.”
Old Madam Shangguan pouted, “Of course! Would I have brought you all here if the food was bad?” Old Madam Shangguan was an experienced foodie.
After tasting a bite of the Pickled Vegetable Noodles, Shangguan Xi gasped, “Oh my gosh! It really is delicious! No wonder grandma sneaks here everyday to eat.”
Feeling guilty, Old Madam Shangguan rubbed her nose, “I don’t sneak here to eat every day…”
Seeing them react this way, Shangguan Xu decided to have a bite too.
The taste was truly astonishing.
“The Beef Noodles are delicious, too!” Old Madam Shangguan plucked a pickled vegetable noodle from Shangguan Xi’s bowl, “Let me try your Pickled Vegetable Noodles.”
“Then you need to let me try your Beef Noodles too.” The grandmother and granddaughter sampled the noodles from each other’s bowls.
Although all three of them had tasted exotic delicacies, these three bowls of noodles still amazed them.
This fascinating sensation could only be understood by those who tasted it firsthand.
When leaving, Old Madam Shangguan specifically told Ni Yang goodbye, “Yangyang, we’re heading home.”
The restaurant was quite busy, with Ni Yang hardly taking a break.
But she always carried a slight smile on her face. Even though she seemed never to tire, her smile was contagious, even making Shangguan Xu unconsciously smile back.
