Watching Chen Mo's process as if he were performing, Xu Zhenghao found himself a bit mesmerized, and even felt his exhaustion easing.
He watched Chen Mo deftly scoop noodles into a bowl, add soup, then top it with diced braised pork and a sliced tea egg, finally garnishing with a bit of cilantro.
Chen Mo handed over the freshly made milk tea pancake and cart noodles, "Take it slow, be careful not to fall."
Xu Zhenghao took the food somewhat reluctantly and began to slow his pace.
If truth be told, if he could he would have liked to watch the boss scoop the noodles again; it was just so graceful!
The food cart continued slowly forward, and Xu Zhenghao lingered in place for quite a while, only moving to sit on a bench by the roadside after the cart had turned a corner into the next block and disappeared from view.
