"Hello Grandpa Ge, hello Grandma Wang... Hello to all the uncles and aunties!"

Lu Xiyao spoke sweetly and wasn't shy, waving her little hand as she greeted them.

"Oh, it's Yao Yao, you're home from school?"

"My, my! Yao Yao is so well-behaved, and her words are so sweet!"

"Little Lu, you're so lucky to have such a cute daughter. I want one just like her."

Seeing that some of the neighbors had their children with them, Lu Xiyao shared the snacks and toys she was holding.

She didn't need so many things herself.

This gesture earned her more nods and praise from everyone.

To be such an understanding little girl, how many good deeds must she have done in her past life?

Lu Qin rode the three-wheeled food cart into the small courtyard and carried the ingredients inside to prepare dinner.

"Papa, do you need help?"

"Aren't you going to watch cartoons? Today is [Balala the Fairies]."

"I can watch it later. Right now, I want to make dinner with Papa."

"Alright then, wash the tomatoes and celery."

"Okay."

"Remember to remove the stems from the tomatoes and don't use the celery leaves."

"I know, Papa. I've washed them before, you don't need to nag. I'm not a three-year-old anymore."

Lu Qin smiled and gently flicked the little one's nose.

He began preparing the chicken.

First, he chopped half a free-range hen into pieces, blanched them, and then put them in the pot to stew.

He used the simplest method, not braising or stir-frying the chicken, just stewing it.

During the stewing process, he added ingredients like red dates, ginger slivers, and scallion segments. This method resulted in tender, not tough, chicken that retained its original flavor.

Another dish was stir-fried celery with dried tofu, and a tomato and egg soup.

Lu Qin controlled the portion sizes perfectly, neither too much nor too little, so that he and his daughter were just full after eating.

This way, they wouldn't have leftovers the next day, and waste was avoided.

While washing the dishes, Lu Qin checked the system.

He had set up a stall at the food street in the afternoon. The foot traffic was heavy, and both the fried rice noodles and mung bean paste sold out completely.

He sold nearly 270 portions of fried rice noodles and 500 cups of mung bean paste, with a profit of over 3900 yuan. Combined with the more than 1500 yuan earned from the morning stall, the total income was very substantial.

System points: 834.

With a thought, Lu Qin directly initiated eight draws.

.Iced Crystal Cake Making Skill! Master Liu's mentality exploded!

Lu Qin directly initiated eight draws.

[Consuming 100 points, drawing...]

[Acquired Mastered Iced Crystal Cake Making Skill]

[Consuming 100 points, drawing...]

[Acquired 10 Mint Candies]

[Consuming 100 points, drawing...]

[Acquired a bottle of Super Cleaning Detergent 750ml]

[Consuming 100 points, drawing...]

[Acquired a Super Cleaning Cloth]

All eight draws were completed, and he received a reward with each one.

However, he only obtained one culinary skill, which was the [Mastered Iced Crystal Cake Making Skill].

Iced Crystal Cake is a Southern dessert, delicious and refreshing, with a long history and tradition.

Details and tips for making Iced Crystal Cake flashed through Lu Qin's mind like a slideshow, all integrated and understood.

Like mung bean paste, Iced Crystal Cake could be made at home, packed into boxes, and sold at the stall.

Lu Qin examined the other rewards. The mint candies were not ordinary mint candies; their breath-freshening effect was ten times stronger than regular mint candies.

Everything the system produced was extraordinary.

The Super Cleaning Detergent could easily remove any oil stains or dirt, without time or effort.

The Super Cleaning Cloth could easily wipe away any oil stains or dirt. When used with the Super Cleaning Detergent, its cleaning power was superb, and it was clean with just a rinse of water.

Lu Qin willed it, and everything appeared in the cabinets.

Evening.

Lu Qin wanted to stay home and watch TV with Lu Xiyao, but the little one didn't want to. She wanted to go to the night market with Lu Qin to set up a stall.

Lu Qin thought about it and decided it was fine to go out and set up a stall.

As long as it wasn't too late and didn't affect the little one's schedule, it was no problem.

Lu Qin began preparing the ingredients.

Before dinner, Lu Qin had already called to order 100 catties of rice noodles.

When the rice noodles were delivered, the boss was very surprised. Was the fried rice noodle stall's business that good?

He also asked the boss to bring 80 catties of mung beans.

The other ingredients were sufficient, so no purchasing was needed.

There definitely wouldn't be enough time to make the Iced Crystal Cakes, so he could only wait until tomorrow morning to buy the ingredients.

Lu Qin was quite looking forward to making the Iced Crystal Cakes.

Mainly because he had just acquired the skill and his hands were itching to try it.

At midnight, everything was ready.

"Yao Yao, get in the vehicle."

"Coming~!"

Lu Xiyao, dressed in casual sportswear with her hair in pigtails, held a cup of freshly made Mung Bean Paste. She took a happy sip before climbing onto the three-wheeled vehicle food cart.

Changlin Road University Town Night Market.

Neon lights adorned the streets and alleys, and a bustling crowd weaved through the stalls.

From the side entrances of several nearby universities, students continuously poured out.

Among them, a group of over ten students gathered together, seemingly classmates from the same class.

"Dorm leader, which fried rice noodle stall is it? Hurry up and take us there!"

"Is it really as delicious as you say? I skipped Luo Si Fen, which I've been craving, specifically to try that fried rice noodle stall with you guys."

"Don't worry! It's absolutely heavenly delicious! I tasted it twice yesterday and craved it all day! I couldn't even focus in class!"

"I think you guys are exaggerating. It's just fried rice noodles. I've been eating them since I was a kid, and I'm sick of them now!"

"The fried rice noodles you eat and the handsome boss's fried rice noodles are completely different things. You'll know when we get there."

Besides these students from near the school gate, other people were also gradually gathering towards the alley entrance of Hot Girl Hotpot.

The server at the entrance of Hot Girl Hotpot thought they were coming for hotpot, as there were so many people, twenty to thirty of them. She quickly called the boss.

The hotpot restaurant owner was about to greet them with a smile, but then he learned that these people weren't here for hotpot, but their target was the fried rice noodles.

"Fried rice noodles?" The hotpot restaurant owner looked surprised. Could fried rice noodles be tastier than hotpot?

Master Liu, not far away, saw this scene and was overjoyed.

He walked out from behind his stall, laughed heartily, and shouted over, "How can my Liu's fried rice noodles not be as good as hotpot! They're incredibly delicious!"

"Delicious my foot, it's oily and greasy! I wouldn't eat it even if you gave it to me for free," the hotpot restaurant owner said hatefully.

"Haha, jealousy, pure and unadulterated jealousy. Customers, come, come, come, line up properly. I'll stir-fry them for you one by one, it'll be quick."

Master Liu and the hotpot restaurant owner were clearly old acquaintances. Their banter and jokes didn't matter, and usually, there wasn't much competition between hotpot and fried rice noodles.

But today was a bit strange. Why were there so many people eating fried rice noodles?

Master Liu didn't know where all these customers came from, but perhaps his fried rice noodles were just too popular.

Thinking this, Master Liu winked at the hotpot restaurant owner and smiled triumphantly:
