It is a woman's nature to love beauty. If a woman were to choose, she would not choose to be a scientist, nor would she choose to be a moralist. What she would most like and hope for most is to become a beauty.

Some people say that when a woman is over twenty-five, she no longer talks about youth; when she is over thirty-five, she no longer talks about youth; when she is over forty, no matter how beautiful she once was, she no longer talks about beauty. But, we can always talk about beauty.

Facing Li Qing's warning, the woman became even more curious: "Oh... you know, can this face turn white?"

Before Li Qing realized anything, he replied casually: "Of course, there are many ways. If you want to be faster, get a tattoo... You know, there are other examples of whitening, such as albinism, vitiligo, etc..."

"What are you talking about! Isn't there a normal way? Can I also become white?" The woman touched her face with a look of longing.

"Uh! Auntie, your face already looks very white. We Chinese have the best skin. We are white and rosy. Isn't it better than the pale faces of those foreigners?" Li Qing thought to herself.

If she really took it to heart and asked Li Qing to find a solution for her, it would be a big joke. With the current medical level, she might as well forget it!

Sure enough, women of any age are very concerned about their appearance. If possible, they always want to make themselves more beautiful.

The woman was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and glanced at Li Qing: "Ha! You are already a yellow-faced woman, where is your white face?"

Monkey hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Auntie, don't listen to Boss Li's nonsense. It's too painful to use plastic surgery to turn white. The best thing is to do good skin care. Natural whitening is the best. Auntie, you are naturally beautiful. As long as you take care of it a little, you will be better than others." too much……"

Every woman doesn't like others to praise her, and the middle-aged woman couldn't hide her joy at this moment. She listened to the two juniors talking nonsense with a smile. Although what they said was a bit unbelievable, she already believed what they said in her heart.

"Auntie, I still don't know your last name! Where are you from? The accent doesn't sound like the accent of Lu Province!"

"My surname is Tao, please call me Aunt Tao. I am from Yingtian Mansion, but I live near Jiangnan. I heard from Lao Zhang that you are also from Yingtian Mansion?"

Li Qing quickly answered: "My name is Li Qing, and his name is Liu Xiaobo, but we all go by code names outside. My name is Boss Li, just call him monkey. We are from the coastal area north of Huai River, close to Lu Province..."

"Oh, then we're not far away. I grew up in Yangcheng..."

The monkey became more energetic: "I'll go, it's really not that far, just across the Huaihe River..."

At this time, Boss Zhang came out with two plates. Seeing the three people chatting lively, he asked curiously: "What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

Aunt Tao rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Why did it take so long to talk without telling you anything? Look at how hungry the two children are..."

Boss Zhang looked at the two people drooling and thought, I'm fast enough, why am I too slow?

He quickly put the plate in his hand on the table: "Nine-turn large intestine... Furong chicken slices..."

Li Qing and Hou Hou took their chopsticks and started chatting away. They didn't even think about talking. They were really hungry.

"Look at you, what are you doing at night... Large intestine... Is this what you eat at night? I don't understand why you like to eat this kind of thing. Hurry up, go stir-fry two vegetarian dishes... Let's see what happens to these two children. So greedy..." Aunt Tao gave Boss Zhang a push and asked him to continue cooking.

What's going on? Why did he become a child...

Boss Zhang went into the kitchen confused and didn't understand what was going on. When did the relationship become so good? Got a relative?

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you..." Aunt Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud as she looked at the two of them.

Li Qing and Monkey raised their heads, looked at each other with disgust, and rushed faster...

When Boss Zhang came out with the plate again, the two plates were already empty, not even the side dishes were left. Fortunately, Chinese people don't have the habit of licking plates, otherwise the two of them would have licked both plates!

"Uh...have you finished eating?" Boss Zhang was a little dazed.

"Ha, I just feel a little tired. Let's try some vegetarian dishes..." Li Qing and Monkey each took a plate of vegetarian dishes, put them on the table and started to grab the food!

Boss Zhang sat next to Aunt Tao and was a little confused: "Is it so delicious? It's eaten too fast..."

"Wow... delicious... Bah! Bah!" The monkey answered vaguely with his mouth full.

The two of them had four dishes, but they still felt unsatisfied after finishing the meal. They looked at Boss Zhang eagerly.

"Uh... how about I go fry two more dishes?" Boss Zhang was a little unable to sit still.

Aunt Tao rolled her eyes at Boss Zhang: "What are you talking about? It's not good to eat too much at night. How can you sleep with too much food? Let's go make some soup. A plainer soup. See if there are any cakes and bring some... …”

Boss Zhang responded quickly and hurried into the kitchen.

Aunt Tao looked at the two of them with a smile on her face: "I would like to thank you both today. You don't know that the business of our small shop has always been tepid. When we first opened it, everyone thought it was strange, and then it became slow. Slowly no one eats Shandong cuisine anymore, so we have to make local dishes to make ends meet.”

"If it weren't for you, this small shop might not be able to open any time soon. I know that Lao Zhang has a grudge and wants his craftsmanship to be recognized by everyone here."

"Lao Zhang often laments that he can't show off his skills, but today he is extremely happy!"

"I heard from Lao Zhang that today you ordered pig offal. I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to eating the offal, so I had to add spicy food to the dish. Who knew it would make the diners full of praise? We just discovered today that these crooked nuts are like A dish that’s heavy on oil and spicy!”

Li Qing was also happy. He touched his head and said sheepishly: "It's a coincidence. The food in the army is really unpalatable. We both like to scratch our mouths."

Monkey also came to join in the fun: "You don't know how much chili pepper Lao Zhang put in the food at noon today. It's even better than Sichuan food. It made us very spicy..."

"Ha ha!"

After a while, Aunt Tao felt a little depressed: "Hey, I'm afraid those crooked nuts are just a novelty again!"

"The pictures are fresh and good, so let's change the pattern. We have so many domestic cuisines. Are we afraid that these foreigners won't be interested?" Monkey said without thinking.

"You don't know, how can it be so easy? The taste of these crooked nuts is different from ours. It has not been easy for us to maintain this small shop these years. Today, Lao Zhang is happy. I don't want to hurt him, but I can't help but feel a little... Worry……"

Li Qing's heart moved: "Aunt Tao, you just said that these crooked nuts like heavy oily and spicy dishes. Why don't we think differently?"

"Oh? What's the point of changing your mind? It's normal to not like it after a while. No one would like a taste all the time!"

"It's true... Those Wai Guoren like these dishes on the one hand, but what they like more is the taste inside! The taste of heavy oil and spicy..."
