Chapter 83: Silent Resentment_1
"This..." Yang Ruxin hesitated, since accepting someone’s hospitality could make one feel indebted, and no matter how thick-skinned she might be, she would feel uncomfortable.
"It’s just a bowl of noodles," Gu Qingheng said with a smile.
"Okay then," Yang Ruxin wasn’t fussy; after all, she had silver now but couldn’t spend it openly. The reason she dared to go in and have some noodles was that a bowl only cost five or six coins, an amount even the poorest family could afford.
The most expensive dish in the noodle shop was shredded pork noodles, at six coins a bowl, followed by vegetable noodles at four coins, and egg noodles at five coins.
Gu Qingheng ordered three bowls of shredded pork noodles.
Truth be told, for Yang Ruxin, who was accustomed to various modern delicacies, the taste of these noodles wasn’t so good, but she couldn’t bear the hunger—she hadn’t eaten her first meal of the day when she arrived in town. Although she had bought some food, she hadn’t had time to eat, so now she was extremely hungry.
Moreover, the food of this era was all-natural – even something boiled in plain water had a kind of natural fragrance, so she quickly finished off the bowl of noodles.
Not a drop of soup remained.
Gu Yao looked at the giant bowl of noodles that was emptied in the blink of an eye and couldn’t help but curl his lips. Was this hunger enough to resurrect a starving ghost?
"I haven’t eaten my fill like this in a long time." Yang Ruxin ignored the disparaging look in Gu Yao’s eyes, satisfied as she patted her stomach, "So comfortable..."
"Is that enough?" Although Gu Qingheng was blind, he still ate with elegance, clearly brought up with good manners from a young age, something intrinsic that couldn’t be faked. At the moment, he had only eaten half of his bowl of noodles.
