Li Shen came back soon, followed by Zhang San and Chen Zhong.

After Zhang San arrived at the stall, he said with a smile, "Farewell, boss, I'm here again." He glanced at the empty casserole on the small stove and said regretfully, "I wanted to buy two more rice dumplings to go back to eat, but I didn't expect It’s sold out, that’s right, your rice dumplings are so delicious, there must be a lot of people wanting to buy them.”

"Will you continue selling rice dumplings tomorrow?"

"As long as your family sells rice dumplings, I will definitely come to buy your rice dumplings and eat them every now and then!"

Gu Rao shook his head.

"Glutinous rice should not be eaten regularly, it is not easy to digest, and it is not suitable for long-term business. It can only be sold once during the Dragon Boat Festival."

"If you want to buy it, come back next year during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Zhang San’s eyes were filled with disappointment.

"When will we wait until next year?"

"I shouldn't have been reluctant to give up money in the morning. I should have bought more. When I went out just now, my family was pestering me to bring a few more home. It's good now. I can't buy any of them. When I go back, I will have to buy more." I’m going to be scolded by her again.”

Li Shen said, "I brought the person who testified for me. Can you give me two rice dumplings this time?"

Gu Rao smiled and said, "Wait a moment, let me ask a few questions first."

Li Shen was stunned, and his heart tightened.

Wouldn't it be enough if someone just brought it?

Still want to ask?

What to ask?

Gu Rao didn't give Li Shen a chance to think, and directly asked Zhang San and Chen Zhong, "When did you see Li Shen yesterday?"

"Do you know what kind of rice noodles he ate and when he left?"

Li Shen was shocked in vain, a little trembling and uneasy.

Did she find out?

Otherwise, why would you ask these questions?

If he had known that she asked such detailed questions, he shouldn't have thrown himself into a trap just for a bite to eat.

You probably haven’t discovered it yet, right?

Li Shen's palms were sweating, and he wanted to run away now, but if he acted rashly now, she would definitely find out the clues.

He was a bit stuck.

Zhang San testified to several people today. He was not surprised by such questions. He had already thought about it on the way here and said, "He came at the end of Si Shi around the same time as me. There were too many people in your shop at that time." , we didn’t even have a place to sit, we were all standing under the eaves chatting.”

"Li Shen is usually very boring. I have nothing to talk about with him."

"Then other people came, and I was just chatting with them. I didn't notice what he ate or when he left."

Chen Zhong also said, "It is true that he came at the end of Si Shi."

"Li Shen seemed absent-minded yesterday, as if he was not in a good mood. I joked with him for a long time before he replied indifferently. I didn't talk to him much after that."

Li Shen explained, "My sister was not in good health yesterday and I felt uneasy. I really wasn't in the mood to chat. I just wanted to finish eating early and go back to see my sister."

Chen Zhong joked, "You are so precious to your sister. I'm afraid I won't treat my own daughter as well as your precious sister in the future."

"Every time you eat rice noodles outside, you'll still be thinking about your sister."

When Zhang San heard Chen Zhong's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Chen Zhong was a little speechless.

"Why are you laughing? Could it be that what I said was wrong?"

"This is the first time I've seen someone treat his sister so well. He's only three years older than his sister, but he's as unobtrusive as his father."

"Even for the sake of his sister, he has been putting off getting married until now. He has to save money to buy a dowry for his sister and hand over his sister before getting married."

"No father can do this."

Zhang San’s smile didn’t stop.

"I didn't say he was not good to his sister, I was just laughing at what you said about him thinking about his sister every time he eats rice noodles. Since he thinks about his sister even when he eats rice noodles, why don't he bring his sister to eat with him?"

Chen Zhong thought so too.

If Li Shen is really as good to his sister as others said, why is he so generous that he is willing to eat rice noodles, but does not take his sister to eat with him, but eats alone outside?

The look in Li Shen's eyes was a little weird.

This guy is really good at pretending.

He almost believed it.

With cold sweat on his forehead, Li Shen explained, "She was not feeling well yesterday and didn't want to go out and walk around, so I didn't bring her here with me."

Zhang San doesn't think it's a big deal.

"If she doesn't come over, can't you take the rice noodles back to her?"

Li Shen was a little annoyed.

"She's sick and has no appetite!"

Zhang San curled his lips.

It's not like he didn't know what kind of conditions Li Shen's family had. He couldn't afford to eat anything good at ordinary times. How could he lose his appetite when he got sick? It’s not like he’s used to eating good food and doesn’t care about these things.

He must be reluctant to spend money on his sister!

I want to eat alone!

In fact, eating alone is not a big deal.

But Li Shen was eating alone, but he still pretended to care about his sister and was willing to give her anything, which seemed a bit hypocritical.

What Zhang San could think of, others could also think of, and it could be seen that Li Shen didn't seem to want them to mention what happened yesterday, as if he was trying his best to cover up something.

Gu Rao looked at Li Shen's evasive eyes and asked with a cold expression, "What kind of casserole rice noodles did you eat yesterday, and when did you leave?"

"They don't know, you should know it yourself, right?"

Li Shen clenched his palms tightly.

"yesterday……"

"Spicy rice noodles, I left as soon as I finished eating. I forgot when. Who remembers the time so clearly after having a meal? If you don't want to give me rice dumplings, forget it. I'm too lazy to waste it here."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Gu Rao suddenly laughed.

"You didn't eat casserole rice noodles at all yesterday."

Li Shen's steps were in vain.

Zhang San was also a little confused and rarely said a word for Li Shen. After all, it was Li Shen who came to testify, "Boss Gu, I saw him coming with my own eyes yesterday."

Chen Zhong also said, "Yes, he is indeed here. Although I didn't see when he ate, it's impossible. He's just here but not eating, right?"

Gu Rao said, "He has never eaten our clay pot rice noodles, so he doesn't even know what kind of clay pot rice noodles we have or how much a bowl of big or small pots costs."

Then he looked at Li Shen and asked, "Did you eat from a big pot or a small pot yesterday? How much does a bowl cost?"

Li Shen couldn't answer.

Zhang San was a little surprised and asked Li Shen, "Did you really just come to sit here yesterday and leave without eating anything?"

After a second thought, he seemed to understand. There was a flash of sympathy in his eyes. He walked over and patted Li Shen on the shoulder, comforting him, "It's okay if I didn't eat yesterday. I'll treat you to a bowl tomorrow."

Li Shen twisted his shoulders and dodged Zhang San's hand. He seemed to be too lazy to pretend and said to himself, "There were too many people yesterday, so I left without waiting. I really didn't get anything to eat."

Gu Rao walked up to Li Shen, looked into his eyes and said, "You look very panicked. You came here yesterday not to eat casserole rice noodles, but for another purpose, right?"

The veins on Li Shen's forehead popped.

"What are you talking about?"
