“But where is the restaurant here?” The sun had left Jiang Xia sweating all over, and after a morning of walking, she was feeling a bit hungry.

“It’s right there. Do you see that restaurant?” Jiang Chuan pointed to a state-owned restaurant behind Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia looked in the direction Jiang Chuan pointed, and indeed, she saw it.

In a moment, Jiang Xia even began to doubt her father’s intentions. How could it be such a coincidence that she happened to walk to a place with a restaurant?

Before Jiang Xia could figure it out, her stomach protested again. She subconsciously rubbed her belly, “Alright, let’s go check it out.”

Although the restaurant was in the county town, it looked no different from the one in the township. Even the interior decoration was similar. However, there were more people in this restaurant, and the waitstaff here were better-mannered than in the town. Even though the father and daughter were not well dressed, they did not give them odd looks or act maliciously. They were busy with their own work.

From previous experience, the father and daughter ordered food directly, and then found a place to sit down.

As soon as they finished ordering, the waitress hurriedly came out of the kitchen, walked to Jiang Xia’s table, “Miss, we only have dumplings with wild vegetable filling left, is that okay?”

In these times, there wasn’t much to eat, so Jiang Xia didn’t have the luxury of choice.

She just didn’t expect that even in the city, the variety of food wasn’t abundant.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia remembered the delicious food from the future in her mind, regretting her past behavior of not cherishing it.

Jiang Xia looked around and noticed that many people came to eat at the restaurant, but they all just ate dumplings, or simply noodles.

“Dad, why don’t they have a good meal when they come to the restaurant?” Jiang Xia leaned into Jiang Chuan’s ear and asked in a low voice.

“I think having dumplings is already considered good food here. I guess they even added some lard to the dumpling fillings in this restaurant.”

Jiang Chuan explained to Jiang Xia with his keen sense of smell.

Indeed, Jiang Xia observed carefully and found that those who ate dumplings seemed to enjoy it more than those who ate noodles.

It seemed that even in a restaurant, meat was a scarce item.

“Dad, we…”

“Xiao Xia, maybe we should…”

Father and daughter spoke almost at the same time.

“Dad, are you suggesting…?” Jiang Xia pointed to the basket and gave Jiang Chuan a look.

Jiang Chuan nodded.

“But, will it work?”

The father and daughter talked like they were solving a riddle, thankfully everyone in the restaurant was busy with their own meals, otherwise they might attract curious looks.

“How will we know if we don’t try?” A light shone in Jiang Chuan’s eyes.

“Alright then.”

Jiang Xia looked around and, seeing no one paying attention to them, immediately took two wild rabbits from her space and put them in the basket.

Jiang Xia was originally planning to take out two fish, but after thinking about it, she decided to keep them for Jiang Gu to taste first.

In any case, as long as her interspace was there, she could always raise wild animals. It was better to sell the meat first and exchange it for things they lacked at home.

Since they were looking to trade, they naturally couldn’t do it in front of everyone.

Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan deliberately ate slowly, waiting until most of the people in the restaurant left before they began to clean up their plates.

The waitress in the restaurant was a young girl, around seventeen or eighteen. She was always smiling at everyone, making people feel very comfortable.

Seeing Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia finish eating but still lingering in the restaurant, she approached and asked, “Are you waiting for someone here?”

There were many people in the city, and from time to time, people from the village would come and eat while waiting for others to return to the village. A small number of people came to the city to find food, but these people usually sat in the restaurant and wouldn’t leave without food.

Such people couldn’t be allowed to stay in the restaurant, otherwise, they would consume a lot of food in a day.

However, despite their shabby clothes, the father and daughter seemed to have money to buy food, so they were probably not the latter.

Seeing the last customer leaving the restaurant, Jiang Xia finally showed the wild rabbits in the basket to the waitress, “Sister, take a look, will your restaurant take these?”

The waitress just took a peek, her eyes widened instantly, and she hurriedly ran to the kitchen, then brought out a man in his forties, short and slightly chubby.

Seeing him in a white outfit, Jiang Xia concluded that he must be the chef in the restaurant.
