Tang Jiu did not leave after finishing his bowl of noodles. He walked to Lin Dan while holding his bowl and whispered, "There are many clan associations here in the South District as most of the people here are migrants and loves to gather with their townsmen. There are six associations with the most number of members, including the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Clan Association, Shuzhou Clan Association, Baiyue Clan Association, Jiangnan Clan Association, Hubei and Hunan Clan Association, and Yunnan and Guizhou Clan Association. In the future, it will be sufficient to just prepare the six different types of minced meat for these six groups of people. You don't have to worry about the other flavors as it will be too much of a trouble to prepare all of them."

"That's a good idea. In that way, if a customer requests for a special flavor, I will make it on the spot instead. Thank you for your advice, Tang Jiu." Lin Dan smiled gratefully. Although she knows how to save herself from too much trouble, she was not really aware of the demographics of the South District.

"Don't mention it. Can I have another bowl of noodles with the sour and spicy flavor?" Tang Jiu pointed to his empty bowl.

Lin Dan shook her head and chuckled, but quickly made another bowl of noodles for him.

As Qin Er'niang slept late every day to serve her customers, she naturally got up late in the day, and would not get up before noon. But it was different today. She could smell an indescribable scent in the middle of her sleep. It was so strong and overbearing that it had not only made her mouth water but also made her toss and turn in bed. She struggled in bed for a long time before finally deciding to get up, put on her clothes, and went outside to check it out.

"Where does the braised meat smell come from? Go and find it for me, and buy me half a catty of the braised meat!" She instructed several pimps.

"Yes, ma'am." The pimps were just getting prepared to go outside with their sleepy faces, it was no doubt that they were also attracted by the food smell. After a while, the girls who were sleeping upstairs all got up and beckoned on the railing, "We want some braised meat too, please get more food back."

The pimps agreed, but they did not come back. The scent of the braised meat became stronger before it turned into a hot and sour, green scallion scent, and then, various flavors were mixing together. The flavors were making their mouths water. Qin Er'niang first sat in the hall and waited, but she ran to the door to take a look before deciding that she could wait no more. She waved her handkerchief at the girls and said, "I'll go out and have a look by myself. You girls will go back to sleep."

"But how can we get back to sleep with this smell?!" The girls complained while rubbing their stomachs.

Qin Er'niang could not hold herself back anymore and quickly ran to the fork junction. She went round and round following the scent and arrived at the small restaurant that she was sure would suffer losses. She was dumbfounded and thought she went to the wrong place. She craned her neck to take a look but saw some of her pimps gobbling a bowl of noodles in the restaurant.

The big earthen jar at the shop entrance was giving out steaming hot vapor and the scent was tingling her scalp. Qin Er'niang who was struggling gave in completely, she walked into the restaurant sneakily while covering half of her face.

"Welcome, please have a seat." Xiao-zhu greeted her with a smile before showing a look of surprise, "Hey, aren't you the lady from yesterday...?"

"Shush, give me half a catty of braised meat right now and a bowl of minced meat noodles." Qin Er'niang's aged face had turned red.
