C34 Bewildered Parents

That day before noon, Midnight Snack announced that it would now be closed.

Ye Xiao and Ann Xiaoying rushed back upstairs excitedly and began counting their profits.

The price for a single bowl of supreme beef noodles was ten yuan in Yan Region currency. Ye Hong estimated that he would earn at least three thousand yuan in a single morning.

At this moment, Ye Hong brought out the last two bowls of beef noodles from the kitchen.

With the remaining beef slices that he reserved, he personally crafted the two bowls of beef noodles for Zhang Xuewei and Lee Muya as a form of gratitude — even adding two extra poached eggs.

"Ladies, thank you so much for your hard work today. To show my appreciation, please have a taste of my cooking."

The two girls rolled their eyes at Ye Hong at the same time and started to nibble on the noodles.

The two class beauties — with a single bite of the noodles — suddenly opened their eyes wide and brightened up as they began slurping down the rest of the noodles. It was truly a rare sight to behold.

These two bowls of noodles naturally received the same praises from the two beauties.

"Sometimes, I really want to dissect Ah Hong's head and see what kinds of treasures are hidden within."

"I know right... It would be normal if you're a good student or a good athlete, but to think that your cooking skills are also top-notch!"

*Sigh* "The heavens are so unfair, to be give birth to such a perfect person..."

As the two girls exchanged words, Ye Hong did not know whether to laugh or cry at their statements.

Soon, the interior of the store was filled with the sound of birds chirping as the warmth of the afternoon embraced and livened up the surroundings.

After agreeing to come over to help again tomorrow, Zhang Xuewei and Lee Muya then bid farewell to Ye Hong.

Ye Xiao and his wife also came downstairs to see them off.

Ann Xiaoying let out a sigh as she watched the two young girls slowly disappear into the distance: "I've always been worried that my son was too mediocre and wouldn't be able to find a wife in the future."

Ye Xiao nodded and immediately followed, "To think that we would get to chance to wonder which daughter-in-law we'll get in the future..."

"I think the girl in the yellow dress has a good personality. The other girl is a bit cold."

"No, no, no.... I believe that the girl in white would still be suitable as our daughter-in-law."

"If you want to hear my honest opinion…"

Ye Hong looked deadpan at his parents, not wanting to be a part of their conversation. Thus, he simply shook his head and returned to his room upstairs.

In his room, a recipe was laying quietly on the desk.

On it was the design for the pastries created by Ye Hong himself. Next to the designs were the ingredients that Ye Hong needed for the pastries.

"The next step is to purchase the ingredients and start experimenting."

Since it was still early in the afternoon, he planned to make a trip to the market to buy the ingredients he needed.

Usually, on the weekends, he would either stay in the store to help out or hang out with his best friends, Wang Tuo and Wei Dacheng — rarely going out on the streets alone.

Ye Hong went to the bathroom and looked into the mirror.

On his rather ordinary face, there seemed to be a dreadful pimple growing under his skin.

Seeing that, Ye Hong turned on the tap and splashed the water onto his face.

[Ding! Detecting the host washing his face once... Facial Appearance: +1...]

Looking back at the mirror, the pimple — yet to fully develop — had disappeared without a trace as expected.

This was something that Ye Hong had just discovered about the system a few days ago. Although it did not increase the experience points of his facial appearance by much, it nonetheless had to ability to remove his pimples.

As a healthy teenage boy in his puberty, pimples easily rank at the top few most annoying things in one's life. To think that such an irritating problem could easily be solved by the system with a splash of water.

Ye Hong whistled happily and proceeded to take a hot bath, completely removing the smell of oil and meat that had stuck to his body from his time in the kitchen.

He then changed into a casual shirt and prepared to leave.

But before he left, Ye Hong used his father's hair gel to clean up and style his hair.

[Ding! Wearing a reasonably matching outfit... Charm: +1…]

[Ding! Styling hair... Charm: +1…]

Taking some money from the shop, Ye Hong proceeded to head towards the market.

His destination was the largest market in Anming County — Spring Market — located in the southern suburbs of the county.
