At Cloud Street!

Henry Wang looked at the Baidu navigator. He took several buses before arriving at his destination.

Then, he saw a cleaner cleaning the road and he went forward, “Sorry, may I know where is Master Lin’s shop?”

The cleaner was ecstatic when she saw that it was a Caucasian. “Are you here to buy scallion pancakes?”

“Yes,” Henry Wang nodded.

The cleaner held onto the broom and said, “Young man, I think you should forget about it today. Master Lin only sells scallion pancakes in the morning. I think you’ve missed the timing.”

Henry Wang replied, “May I know where is his shop?”

He didn’t expect the Chinese lady to be so chatty. He wanted to end the conversation quickly, or else he didn’t know when it would end.

The cleaner was clearly not going to tell him the answer immediately, “Master Lin’s scallion pancakes are seriously terrific. I would smell the aroma every morning when I come to clean the streets. It is unbearable. When you place it in your mouth, the taste is… literally indescribable.”

“I…”

“I know, you’re just here to try your luck. Let me warn you that it is really difficult. People have come and queued for an entire month and they still didn’t manage to buy it. They almost went crazy,” the cleaner lady rambled on.

She didn’t want to let go of this Caucasian in front of her.

However, this Caucasian seemed really young.

“Young man, are you married?”

Henry Wang was stunned. She wasn’t answering his question at all. He just wanted to find out where Master Lin’s shop was. It had nothing to do with his marital status.

Then, Elder Liang walked past, “Woman, he’s asking about the location of Master Lin’s shop. Are you trying to matchmake your daughter again?”

The cleaner lady smiled upon seeing Elder Liang, “I think he looks decent so I just wanted to ask.”

Elder Liang smiled. Then, he looked at the Caucasian, “Master Lin’s shop is just in front.”

“Thank you,” Henry Wang said and nodded. Then, he walked towards the shop. He was feeling a little fearful.

At the entrance of Master Lin’s shop.

Henry Wang looked at it and was a little stunned. What kind of shop was that?

It didn’t look like one that made delicacies.

“May I know if this is Master Lin’s scallion pancake shop?” Henry Wang asked. He had to ask if it was the right shop.

Fraud Tian was smoking at the entrance and when he saw someone approaching the shop, he immediately went forward, “Yes, this is the famous Master Lin scallion pancake shop. However, the timing for the scallion pancakes has passed. Do you want to have your fortune read?”

Henry Wang looked around, “I think you don’t seem like you sell delicacies. Where is the cooking set up?”

Fraud Tian smiled, “We don’t need to set up anything. We just need a pushcart. Do you want to have your fortune read? You can come here again tomorrow to buy the scallion pancakes.”

Henry Wang was really doubtful. It didn’t even look like a proper scallion pancake shop. How delicious could their scallion pancakes be if they didn’t have a proper shop?

He felt like he got cheated again.

However, those people that he just met really recommended the scallion pancakes here. He was really curious and he felt that there was something he hadn’t found out yet.

At the same time, he thought of something.

Never judge a book by its cover.

Just because a shop looked ordinary, he couldn’t belittle it. However, he really wanted to roast the shop owners. They could’ve made the shop look better.

“I am not here to have my fortune read. I am here to buy scallion pancakes,” Henry Wang said.

Fraud Tian was disinterested when he heard that he wasn’t there to have his fortune read. “Since you’re not here for fortune-telling, come back here tomorrow for scallion pancakes.”

“What time tomorrow?” Henry Wang asked.

Fraud Tian replied, “9 am tomorrow.”

To Henry Wang, he had to try it once regardless of what happened. “Alright, sorry for the inconvenience. I will be back tomorrow.”
