As soon as this thought popped up in her mind, it was as if a demon had been released from a bottle. The delicious taste of the Yangzhou fried rice slowly rose from the bottom of her heart. Just the aftertaste alone made Sally swallow her saliva. She had just eaten a big bowl of vegetable noodles in the morning!
"No! If I eat just one serving, then all of the money I've been working for these past few days will be gone. I still have to save money to go to places further away! "Sally shook her head vigorously in an attempt to banish this thought from her mind.
However, the more she tried to chase it away, the clearer the memories became. The savory ham, the egg that melted in her mouth, and the rice that had the faint fragrance of the Spring of Life, made her want to go home for the first time.
Although her father and those elders who wanted to force her to marry were annoying, her mother was still very kind to her. She suddenly missed the afternoon when she snuggled in her mother's arms and took a nap.
If she hadn't run away from home, as the daughter of the honorable head of the family, she wouldn't have needed to fold a quilt. She could never have imagined that tidying up a dozen rooms would only earn her a dozen copper coins. It would have taken her days to earn a single gold coin.
"I'm so hungry all of a sudden …" Sally lay on her back on the bed, her eyes empty. All she could think about was the bowls of Rainbow Fried Rice. She was like an elf who had lost her dream.
"I wonder if the restaurant has new dishes. That girl … is so cute … "Sally's murmur echoed in the room.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Meg looked at the dozen customers standing outside and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. The roujiamo this morning was sold out half an hour ago, and the opening hours are over. The restaurant is closed. If you'd like to eat, please come back early next time."
"Mr. Mak, I just want one bowl of Yangzhou fried rice. I overslept this morning. Please make an exception for me. I'm so used to your food that I can't find anything to eat this morning," a tall and thin man begged Meg with a smile.
"That's right, Mr. Mak. It took me half an hour to get here. I didn't get to eat the roujiamo, but I want at least one bowl of Yangzhou fried rice. You won't be so heartless as to let me go home hungry, will you? "a fat man said, looking unhappy.
"That's right, that's right …"
The other customers also chimed in. Although they didn't make it on time, they all thought that Meg might be afraid of their feelings because there were so many of them.
"I'm sorry, the restaurant strictly follows the opening hours, so please go back." Meg's head without any hesitation. He turned over the sign on the door, looked at the customers who still wanted to talk, and spread his hands. "If I make you Yangzhou fried rice now, I won't be able to prepare the ingredients for the lunch. that's not fair... please....... Please come earlier........."
"Alright, then I'll come back for lunch." The tall and skinny man saw that Mag had no intention of relenting, so he had no choice but to leave.
"Mr. Mak, you're … a man of principle." The fat man took a look at Amy, who was walking slowly behind Meg with Ugly Duckling in her arms. He laughed awkwardly, turned around, and got into the carriage that was parked not far away.
Seeing that Meg didn't want to negotiate, the other customers had no choice but to leave. Mr. Mak was indeed very strict when it came to the restaurant's rules.
"Mr. Mak is really different from other restaurant owners." Yabemiya stood at the door and looked at Meg's profile. Under the sunlight, his thin and handsome face looked very amiable. The mustache on his lips made him look more mature. I'm so lucky to have such a boss.
Meg stretched himself. He had sold more than 200 roujiamos this morning, and the number of customers had increased to 95. That was more than what he usually got in a day. He could imagine that there would be even more customers at noon and in the evening. The restaurant was officially full.
"Father, can we listen to the Mushroom Fairy's new song today?" Amy asked Meg expectantly, holding Ugly Duckling in her arms.
Meg was about to close the door and answer Amy's question when a weak voice came from afar. "Mr. Mak, wait!"
"Hmm?" Meg looked in the direction of the voice and saw a delicate figure running toward him from afar. A pair of wooden clogs clicked on the ground, and the loose clothes billowed like waves on the small body. It looked as if the wind would blow him away at any time. It was Vicennio, who had just bought two roujiamos.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but the restaurant is closed." Meg shook his head with a strange expression as he looked at Vicennio, who had trotted all the way to him and was bending over with his hands on his knees.
It had only been less than an hour, and the young man's face was even paler than before. When he ran over, his steps were so light that he was almost floating. He was probably as weak as Meg.
However, in comparison, Meg was not as strong, and he was a little thin, but his complexion and spirit were good, and his eyes were bright and spirited.
Vicennio, on the other hand, looked so dispirited that he would fall at the slightest touch. God knew what had happened to him in the past hour.
"You're not selling them?" Vicennio's voice rose a little, and he seemed a little disappointed. However, his eyes soon lit up, and he nodded with lingering fear. "That's good. That's good."
"Hmm?" Meg looked at him in confusion. What's wrong with him? Why did his words seem to come out of nowhere?
"Mr. Mak, help … help me." Vicennio reached out his hand to Meg, but halfway through, his legs gave out, and he knelt down in front of him.
"Um … Sir, there are more roujiamos for sale at noon. Even if you can't eat them in the morning, you don't have to be so polite. They're really sold out." Meg was stunned. He looked at Vicennio, who was kneeling in front of him, and silently withdrew his hand with a strange expression.
