137  Eating from a Roadside Stall

When Gu Qingming returned to gather with her grandmothers, Grandma Shi smiled and said, "Darling, if you hadn't come back, I would have asked Xiaoyu to look for you."

Grandma Gu asked with concern, "Mingming, why were you gone for so long?"

Gu Qingming said without changing her expression, "Grandma, I'm a little constipated!"

Shi Yaoqing, who was drinking from the mineral spring, spat out all the water in his mouth.

Shi Yaoqing thought to himself, "Sister is too bold with her words." But he remembered that his sister was very reserved.

Grandma Shi said, "Since we're going shopping, let's go now. Xiaoyu, call home and tell them that we won't be going home for lunch."

"Okay, Grandma!" Zhou Xiaoyu replied.

With that, she took out her phone and called home.

Grandma Shi said to Grandma Gu and Gu Qingming, "Although I don't come to the county city often, I'm still familiar with it. Xiaoyu and Yaoqing are even more familiar with the county city. Yaoqing, drive us to the busiest place in the county city first."

"Okay!" Shi Yaoqing replied readily.

After driving for about ten minutes, they reached a river. There was a road near the river, and there were parking spaces on both sides of the road.

Shi Yaoqing said, "Sister-in-law, take Grandma and the others to the National League Mall first. I'll find a parking space."

Zhou Xiaoyu replied, "Okay!"

Zhou Xiaoyu brought them to the entrance of the National League Mall.

Although it was not Saturday, the entrance of the National League Mall was bustling with people.

Zhou Xiaoyu introduced, "The entrance of the National League Mall is the busiest and most prosperous street in our entire Pingyang County. There are all kinds of things sold here, especially the snacks and specialties sold in Pingyang County. However, the snacks on the streets are not as hygienic as the food at home. Grandma, should we go to the mall to take a look or stay near the entrance first?"

Gu Qingming looked up. Although it was lively here, it was messy and disorderly. The stalls were casually set up.

Some sold local specialties, some sold children's toys, some sold fruits, and some sold clothes and jewelry.

People came and went in crowds. When the electric scooters honked loudly as they maneuvered through the bustling place, it made one feel very irritated.

It was indeed a lively place.

Zhou Xiaoyu asked, "Sister, do you want to take a look? Our local specialties are quite good. If we buy them outside, I'm afraid it won't be very hygienic. When we get home, we'll get Second Aunt to make them."

Gu Qingming nodded and said, "Okay!"

The group began to shop.

Grandma Gu had lived for decades. Before she got married, her family was a scholarly family. She was the only daughter and her family doted on her very much. They would get her whatever she wanted to eat and play. However, they never let her eat street food for fear that she would get a stomachache.

When she was young, she was really hungry once. Hence, she ate fried rice cakes from a roadside stall. She did not know if it was unclean or if her stomach was not used to the things outside. Not long after, she had diarrhea.

When her family found out that she had eaten something unsanitary from a roadside stall, they were angry but their hearts ached for her, so they could not bear to blame her.

But from then on, her parents and three brothers began to learn all kinds of culinary skills, turning an entire family of scholars into chefs just so that she could eat a mouthful of delicious food.

Later on, after she married Grandpa Gu, she never suffered any grievances.

After learning from her parents that she could not eat outside, he tried to learn how to cook.

However, talent was just that strange. Grandpa Gu was a shrewd person, but he had failed in his culinary skills.

After blowing up the kitchen twelve times, he could only accept his fate. He did not have the talent to cook at all.

Fortunately, he was rich.

Therefore, he paid a high price to hire a five-star chef to specially make all kinds of food for his wife. Be it rice, snacks, or various snacks, as long as his wife wanted to eat them, this chef could make them. Moreover, the taste was excellent.

Thus, talent was truly something that was innate, yet mysterious and unfathomable.

Grandma Gu had been pampered for her entire life and had very few opportunities to eat street food.

Even when they went on vacation, they stayed in luxurious hotels and ate in restaurants.

Looking at the dazzling array of snacks here, Grandma Gu swallowed her saliva and said, "These things look delicious!"

Gu Qingming knew her grandmother the best.

She looked at her grandmother suspiciously and asked, "Grandma, do you want to eat these things?"

Before Grandma Gu could answer, she said sternly, "But Grandma, Grandpa won't allow you to eat street food. He said that you'll have diarrhea if you eat anything outside!"

Grandma Gu blushed and said, "It's been decades. It has only happened once. How can he still remember it?"

Gu Qingming nodded very seriously and said, "Grandpa, not only does he remember it in his heart, but he also made sure Dad and I remember it. So, Grandma, you can't eat anything outside."

Grandma Gu was speechless.

Before she got married, she was controlled by her parents and three brothers. After she got married, she was controlled by her husband. When she was old, she was controlled by her granddaughter.

There was sweetness and happiness in Grandma Gu's heart, but she always had regrets.

Grandma Gu looked at her granddaughter and said, "Mingming, I'll just eat this once, okay? I only ate this once in university. Until now, I've never eaten anything from roadside stalls. I heard that to enjoy delicious food, the food from the roadside stalls is the best."

Gu Qingming wanted to refuse, but when she looked up, she saw the desire in her grandmother's eyes.

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to let her grandmother eat anything from the roadside stalls.

But now, she had the spiritual spring water.

After Grandma ate something, she would give her some of the spiritual spring water. That should be fine.

Grandma Shi took a look and said with a smile, "In-law, why don't we go home and get my second daughter-in-law to cook for you? We'll make you whatever you want to eat."

However, the food at home was different from street food.

Just as Grandma Gu was about to thank Grandma Shi for her kindness, Gu Qingming smiled and said, "Grandma, since you want to eat street food, I'll eat with you. However, you'll have to hide it from Grandpa!"

After saying that, she even winked mischievously at her grandmother.

"Okay!" Grandma Gu smiled.

Grandma Shi wanted to stop her. "Ming'er…"

"Grandma, it's fine." Gu Qingming smiled and said, "It's just that I still want to ask Grandma and Sister-in-law to keep it a secret. Otherwise, if my grandfather finds out, he won't be able to bear to scold Grandma, but I, his granddaughter, will have to bear the brunt of his wrath."

"Haha, alright! In-law, I'll accompany you today!" Grandma smiled.

There was no need to mention the other two.

Although they were eating at a roadside stall, the group still found a relatively clean stall and sat down to taste its specialties.
