Xia He immediately said, “Are you from the capital too?”

“No, no, no. I’m from Lian City. It’s rare to see my fellow citizens here! What are you doing here?” the lady boss asked curiously.

“For school. I’m studying in the school down the road,” Qiao Mei said truthfully.

“That’s good! Since you’re studying there, you can come to our place for meals often! I’ll give you a discount!” the lady boss said.

“Thank you, Lady Boss!” Xia He said happily.

Qiao Mei ordered two of the signature dishes here, One was braised pork and the other was boiled cabbage. Just the two dishes already cost 110 dollars. With this amount of money, she could order a full banquet in the capital!

“Qiao Mei, this is so expensive!” Xia He whispered as she clutched her wallet with heartache.

Qiao Mei looked around and said in a low voice, “It’s fine. Just treat it as an experience. Keep your wallet safe. There are all types of people here. I heard from Eldest Brother that it’s not as safe here as in the capital. Be careful not to get robbed.”

“l guess the people here can’t accept the taste from back home. Let’s try the food elsewhere,” Qiao Mei said.

They walked along the streets aimlessly. There were also many jewelry shops and boutiques on the streets. They did not have much of an appetite today to try any other food. As they walked further inwards, the area looked less prosperous from the area where they entered. It was very quiet and there were very few people walking around. The shops around here did not have much business. They realized that there was a specialty snack shop with the words “For rent” hanging on a sign.

‘Qiao Mei, look! What’s written on it? I can’t understand,” Xia He asked as she pointed at the sign.

“They want to rent out this shop. Let’s go in and ask,” Qiao Mei said.

“Forget it, Qiao Meie This shop is really too far in. It’s not suitable for us. We’ll definitely lose money here,” Xia He said hesitantly.

“Let’s just go and find out the market rate and understand the market. Otherwise, what if we get cheated in the future?” Qiao Mei said.

“Alright, what you say makes sense.” After saying that, Xia He walked towards the specialty snack shop with Qiao Mei.

The owner of the specialty snack shop was a woman. After chatting with her, Qiao Mei and Xia He found out that her name was Alice. In fact, she had wanted to sell the shop at first, but this was the shop that she had opened with her husband. Her husband had passed away many years ago and this was the only thing that he left behind. Therefore, she could not bear to sell it.

She had only one son. After her son grew up, he worked very hard, had a job with a stable income and made quite a lot of money. She was old and did not want to continue working so hard. She wanted to travel and see the world, so she decided to rent out this shop..
