After boiling the tea eggs, Ni Yang halved them and arranged them on a porcelain white plate. They were garnished with a few slices of tomatoes, providing a pleasing feast for the eyes which was delightfully ceremonial.
Additionally, Ni Yang stir-fried two small dishes beneficial for beauty and nourishment.
Ni Cuihua served all the dishes onto the table, waiting for Ni Chenggui to return and start the meal.
The cold noodles were pleasant with a sour taste and a smooth texture. Their appealing flavor lingered in their mouths, leaving Ni Chenggui and Ni Cuihua full of praise.
The three of them cleaned out all the dishes, leaving only two eggs behind.
Seeing the popularity of her cold noodles, Ni Yang had a new idea in mind.
However, this idea could only be implemented after buying a shop.
After finishing the meal, Ni Yang went into the kitchen to make Sour Plum Soup. As the weather was hot, this soup was extremely popular. It often sold out before the Pickled Vegetable Noodles each morning, hence Ni Yang decided to brew more Sour Plum Soup to take along.
She prepared five hundred servings yesterday, so she planned to prepare a thousand servings today.
With a price of one cent per cup, a thousand cups of Sour Plum Soup would total too yuan.
In this way, she would be another step closer to her plan of buying a shop!
With this in mind, Ni Yang was filled with a renewed vigor!
She reckoned she could endure being a bit tired, as good days are always made out of tough ones.

The next day.
Mo Family’s house.
Because the Zhao Family had promised to visit today, Old Lady Mo woke up early.
However, instead of the Zhao Family, she was first greeted by Li Gongcheng.
Li Gongcheng had come to bring her breakfast.
Old Lady Mo eagerly opened the thermos, and sure enough, Ni Yang’s breakfast meal did not disappoint her.
Sour and appetizing cold noodles.
Rich and fragrant stir-fried shrimp with leeks.
Cool and refreshing soup of luffa and lotus seeds.
The food delighted Old Lady Mo’s palate, but what she did not know was that all these dishes that Ni Yang prepared were health-promoting.
For instance, stir-fried shrimp with leeks helps to expel cold and is particularly good for the elderly; while a soup of luffa and lotus seeds has the effect of resisting osteoporosis.
Are there any elderly people who do not have osteoporosis?
While she was unaware of these health benefits, Old Lady Mo could clearly feel that ever since she started eating the meals prepared by Ni Yang, her health improved day by day.
It needs to be noted that she was in a condition where she would pant after taking two steps!
There was no need to guess, this was definitely because the dishes by Boss Xiaoni tasted good.
So, at present, Old Lady Mo is completely satisfied with Boss Xiaoni.
“Xiaoli, wait a moment.” Old Lady Mo called out to Li Gongcheng who was about to leave.
“Old Lady, do you have any other instructions?” Li Gongcheng turned his head towards her.
Old Lady Mo then asked: “Xiaoli, how old is Boss Xiaoni this year? Are they a boy or girl? Are they married?”
Boss Xiaoni saved her life once, so she wanted to prepare a gift to thank Boss Xiaoni.
Li Gongcheng replied: “Boss Xiaoni is a seventeen-year-old girl, and she’s not married yet.”
Seventeen years old?
Is she still a young girl?
Old Lady Mo was extremely astonished. It never occurred to her that such delicious food came from a seventeen-year-old girl.
She originally thought that even if Boss Xiaoni was young, she must be at least in her thirties!
This was truly unexpected.
“Xiaoli, you aren’t playing tricks on me, are you?”
Li Gongcheng laughed and said: “Why would I trick you? Boss Xiaoni is indeed so young. Actually, my initial reaction was the same as yours.”
Who would believe that a seventeen-year-old girl could be so skilled in cooking unless they witnessed it themselves?
Old Lady Mo suppressed her amazement, nodded her head and made up her mind: “Okay, I’ve got it. You may return to your work.”
“Alright, Old Lady.” Li Gongcheng bent his waist slightly and turned to leave.
As Old Lady Mo was getting ready to eat, Mo Fuhai, dressed smartly, came down from upstairs.
“Old man, come here.” Old Lady Mo waved her hand at him.
“What’s up? You seem secretive.” Mo Fuhai walked over.
Old Lady Mo laughed: “It’s rare that you’re up early. Come, let’s have breakfast together. Xiaoli just brought it over, it’s still warm.”
Although Mo Fuhai initially had little appetite, after seeing the appealing appearance of the food and its mouthwatering aroma, he quietly withdrew his impending refusal. He picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and joined Old Lady Mo in a hearty meal.
As expected, the taste didn’t disappoint him!
