Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Thinking of a Way
After leaving Four Seas Restaurant, Yue Jiandong felt it still wasn’t safe enough.
After all, three years had passed, and although Zheng Tianbo was well-connected, he might not be able to uncover the full picture.
Yue Qingqing was slurping her saliva, hugging the lunch box tightly in her arms.
If she hadn’t been thinking about eating with her family, this little one would probably have found a place to sneak a few bites by now.
Yue Jiandong couldn’t help but laugh at his daughter’s behavior, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
Food is essential to life, and no matter the era, there’s never a shortage of restaurants.
Big restaurants have high turnover, but small eateries are often situated near residential buildings.
They welco and bid farewell to regular custors.
Many owners and proprietresses are chatty, and over ti, not only have they co to understand their custors’ tastes like the back of their hand, but they also know everything about their families.
Yu Yaxian’s uncle’s family must have frequented these kinds of small eateries; perhaps he could find out so news from three years ago through them.
He imdiately raised his arm and hailed a tricycle, then lifted Qingqing onto it before climbing on himself.
“Driver, please take us to Yez Road.”
Yue Jiannan used to talk about going to Yez Road to make deliveries when he entered the city every day.
Jiandong had heard it so often that he was familiar with it, never expecting it to co in handy at this ti.
“Hold on tight, all right.”
Tricycles back then were sowhat like the taxis of later years, just much more rudintary.
There was an added seat behind the motorbike’s front, providing a complete 360-degree panoramic view.
In the biting chill of early spring, as it roared into motion, the wind stung the face.
Otherwise, why would there be the saying about the February spring breeze being as sharp as scissors?
Yue Jiandong quickly covered Yue Qingqing’s face with his sleeve to block the wind.
Yue Qingqing sat obediently, with a slight release of Spiritual Energy from her body.
Yue Jiandong suddenly felt sothing was off, as in winter, riding a tricycle would usually have one shivering cold.
But today, his whole body felt pleasantly warm.
However, he just assud the weather was gradually warming up, without giving it much thought.
Upon reaching the destination and paying the driver, Yue Jiannan looked up at the housing complex in front of him.
This area was one of the older residential ones in the city; its exterior appeared more worn compared to the buildings in the city center.
He didn’t know which building Yu Yaxian’s uncle lived in, so he could only turn his gaze to so of the eateries around the neighborhood.
One of them had an old sign that read “Auntie Zhang’s Ho Cooking.”
The words “ho cooking” were shrouded in a layer of soot due to prolonged exposure to smoke, indicating its age at a glance.
Yue Jiandong walked in with Qingqing; the proprietress was a middle-aged auntie with a friendly appearance.
A blackboard hung on the wall, with the nu written in chalk, along with the prices.
Upon hearing the sound of custors, the proprietress pointed to the blackboard.
“The nu is up there; rice is charged separately, and children are half price,” she said.
Yue Jiandong stepped forward and said, “Hello, I’m not here to eat.”
“Ah?” The proprietress paused, “No need for newspapers, we already subscribe at ho.”
Yue Jiandong quickly shook his head, “No, I’m asking if you need supplies? We have fresh vegetables and at.”
“Supplies?” The proprietress declined politely, “We don’t need any; our vegetables are grown by our own relatives.”
Yue Jiandong knew that was just an excuse and introduced himself further.
“My na is Yue Jiandong, I specialize in supplying so of the city’s restaurants. Because we often have large orders, sotis there are leftovers that aren’t good to take back, so I was wondering if it would be convenient for you to take so? I can offer you a discount.”
The na precedes the person, and the proprietress expressed her surprise, “Oh, Mr. Yue? I’ve heard of you; don’t you only supply to big restaurants?”
Yue Jiandong was certain inside, it looked like this deal was pretty much settled.
