Tired from standing, Chu Qiao squatted down on the ground and stared wide-eyed at the two big dogs. 

She even spread her hands to show that she was a law-abiding citizen and wasn’t carrying any dangerous objects. 

Unfortunately, the dogs weren’t smart enough to understand her gesture. They just stared back more fiercely and started barking, making Chu Qiao run scared.

She had been bitten by a dog as a child and still had a psychological trauma from it. 

Seeing big dogs always made her scalp tingle.

There were two bullies in the village, a big goose and a big dog. 

Both had bullied her before, and both liked to bite her butt. It was really infuriating.

“What are you doing!”

A thunderous roar rang out, full of vigor. 

Chu Qiao stopped and turned to see a spirited old man who had shouted to stop the two dogs into silence. 

However, his face looked fierce too, and he glared at Chu Qiao, probably thinking she was a thief.

“I was just passing by, Uncle.” Chu Qiao said with a flattering smile, taking a few steps closer, wanting to ask him about the factory’s situation.

The old man snorted. 

He didn’t believe her, she had been sneaking around for half an hour earlier, clearly scoping the place out. 

Just recently, the factory had lost a batch of steel bars, and the case still hadn’t been solved yet. Who knew if she was involved in this?

“If you’ve got no business here, then just stay away! These dogs of mine eat raw meat!” The old man threatened fiercely.

Chu Qiao shivered with fear and didn’t dare to get any closer. 

The old man looked quite pleased and his suspicion eased a little. 

She was so timid and not exactly looking like a thief. Maybe, she was just a passerby.

“Uncle, you haven’t had lunch yet, right?”

Chu Qiao tried to keep the conversation going. 

Among Chinese people, the most popular way to greet someone was to ask, ‘Have you eaten?’ And it worked in almost every situation… except maybe in the toilet.

“Lunch? At 9:30?” The old man looked at her like she was an idiot. 

She had a pretty face, but her intellect was questionable, no wonder even the dogs disliked her.

“Oh, right. It’s only 9:30. It’s too early for lunch, but just right for a snack. Uncle, would you like some Lüdagun? I made them myself, they’re delicious. And I’m not bragging, but even locals from Beijing can’t match my skills.” 

-Lüdagun / Fried chop rice cake (驴打滚) : A classic Beijing snack of glutinous rice rolls coated in soybean powder, named whimsically after ‘donkeys rolling in dust’. 

Chu Qiao was out of ideas. She wasn’t exactly a sweet talker to begin with. 

As a last resort, she pulled out the Lüdagun from her bag. She had packed them along as a snack. 

Judging by the old man’s accent, he sounded like a northerner, so he might appreciate this treat. 

The old man had initially planned to ignore her, but hearing her boast so shamelessly lit a fire in him, he just couldn’t let it slide. 

How dare this girl boast like that in front of him, a genuine Beijing local? This girl wasn’t just dumb, she had thick skin too.

“Bring it here. Let me see what kind of Lüdagun you’ve got!”

The old man waved her over. He had to show this thick-skinned girl what it meant to be a frog in a well. 

Lüdagun wasn’t just some ordinary glutinous rice snack, there was also real craftsmanship involved.

Chu Qiao took a few steps forward, but the two big dogs suddenly rushed out again, tongues out and eyes fixed on her.

“Uncle… your dogs…”

Chu Qiao timidly pointed at them, not daring to move forward. 

The old man glared at her and snapped, “With me here, they won’t bite you!” 

Chu Qiao swallowed hard and forced herself to walk over, breaking into a cold sweat. 

Fortunately, the dogs were really obedient and didn’t pounce at her. 

Relieved, she took out a lunchbox from her bag. Inside were a few Lüdagun, neatly arranged, clean, and beautiful with distinct layers and colors, utterly exquisite. 

The old man frowned slightly. The appearance looked decent, but he wasn’t sure about the taste.

He picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth. 

After a few chews, his movement sped up, finishing one roll in no time, then reaching for a second. 

Chu Qiao watched with a sweet smile, feeling proud. 

Everyone who had tasted her cooking had been impressed, without exception.
