There were three or four other fried rice noodle stalls, all run by middle-aged, greasy uncles.

The hygiene of the fried noodle stalls was truly unbearable to look at; the burnt oil stains on the bottom of the pots were at least three centimeters thick.

Fang Ya closed her eyes and ordered a portion of fried rice noodles from each stall.

After tasting them, without exception, she couldn't even take a second bite.

They all ended up in the trash can.

She never really liked fried rice noodles as a snack anyway; they felt too greasy and choked her up after just two or three bites.

Before leaving, Fang Ya met a casual fan, took a photo with them, and asked a question.

"Sold out by 8:30 and packed up?"

Fang Ya was speechless.

Was that fried noodle stall's business really that ridiculously good?

"I don't believe it, I'll come back tomorrow!"

Meanwhile.

As soon as Shen Muyan returned to the villa from her company, she received a call from Shen Hongda.

"Dad, what Ice Crystal Cake?"

"Don't worry about it, just do as I say and call him now."

"Dad, we're already divorced, how can I say something like this?"

"It's up to you, I'm still the Chairman, and you have to obey my orders. That's all, goodbye."

Beep beep beep—

Shen Muyan frowned her beautiful eyebrows, feeling truly exasperated.

Asking Lu Qin... to make Ice Crystal Cake?

He knew how to make that?

Did he learn it before?

But that wasn't the main point, the main point was—

How was she supposed to ask him?

If it's for business, then it's perfectly legitimate!

Around 9 PM, Lu Qin rode his three-wheeled food cart back to the residential area.

At this hour, the old neighborhood was calm and peaceful.

This residential area had a lot of elderly people, and they generally went to bed quite early.

Two office workers, dragging their exhausted bodies home after overtime, lived the fulfilling lives of "waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs" every day.

They bought instant noodles from the convenience store for a late-night snack. Seeing Lu Qin return, they quickly greeted him.

"Boss Lu, are you done for the day? Do you have any more fried rice noodles or mung bean paste?"

Lu Qin hit the brakes and stopped to reply:

"Sorry, they're all sold out."

"Ah, I expected as much. Boss Lu's fried rice noodles are so delicious, they're bound to sell out."

"It's sad that we can only eat instant noodles for a late-night snack now."

"Boss Lu, if your fried noodle stall was set up downstairs from our company, I'd eat your fried rice noodles for all three meals a day, a monthly subscription!"

Lu Qin smiled and said, "Thank you for liking them. Come by the fried noodle stall when you have time, and get some sleep early."

"You too, Boss Lu. Goodnight."

Lu Qin took out his key, opened the yard gate, pushed the three-wheeled food cart inside, and closed the door.

Without Lu Xiyao by his side, without her calling out "Papa" in her milky voice, Lu Qin actually missed the little one.

Even though they had only been apart for half a day.

Lu Qin originally wanted to make a video call, but seeing how late it was, he figured the little one was already asleep.

After tonight, he could pick her up tomorrow afternoon.

Lu Qin didn't feel tired after setting up stall all day.

The Fatigue Elimination Aura he obtained from the System's lucky draw was incredibly effective.

His stall's business was getting better every day, and more and more customers knew about his stall.

This was a good thing.

He was earning more too.

Throughout the day today, he sold over 550 portions of fried rice noodles, over 600 cups of mung bean paste, and around 240 boxes of Ice Crystal Cake.

Even after deducting costs, the profit easily surpassed ten thousand.

Revenue was 13,288 yuan.

System points: 1433.

Lu Qin wasn't in a hurry to draw a prize. He first cleaned up the food cart, taking the plastic baskets holding ingredients, seasoning boxes, and other containers to wash.

There was a sink in the yard, making cleaning convenient.

Squeezing out some of the System's powerful detergent, the grease dissolved easily. A wipe with the powerful cleaning cloth, and everything was as good as new.

Lu Qin's movements were swift. In just over ten minutes, he finished the cleaning work.

Next was preparing ingredients for the morning stall tomorrow.

Lu Qin had already reached a long-term cooperation agreement with the rice noodle stall in the fresh food market and Boss Zhao, who sold disposable tableware.

Lu Qin's stall was now seeing a steady increase in sales, and the consumption of fresh rice noodles, disposable takeout boxes, and other items was also gradually increasing.

He had already arranged with several merchants to have a batch of fried rice noodles and takeout boxes delivered around noon each day.

Boss Zhao had a small pickup truck for deliveries, so Lu Qin also asked him to bring some ingredients like ham, lean meat, vegetables, mung beans, and glutinous rice.

This way, Lu Qin wouldn't have to go to the market every day, saving a lot of time.

Lu Qin prepared some ingredients and seasonings. Just as he finished and was about to take a shower, his phone rang.

Picking it up, Lu Qin was a little surprised to see it was Shen Muyan.

Meanwhile, on Shen Muyan's end.

After dealing with company matters, it was past mealtime.

She called Fang Ya, wanting the other woman to take her out to eat.

That foodie always took her to meticulously chosen gourmet restaurants, which could also improve her appetite a bit.

As it turned out, Fang Ya was going to the University Town Night Market today and wasn't free.

The Ouri Hotel would open its buffet on the 6th floor to the public on weekends.

Firstly, it could increase the hotel's popularity and have a certain promotional effect.

Secondly, it could also boost some revenue.

However, after the initial promotional activities attracted quite a few customers, this buffet format meant that many people came just to try it out, and it was difficult for them to want to come a second time.

Therefore, the buffet wasn't very popular anymore.

Buffets were typically about unlimited seafood, steak, barbecue, and other items, with free-flowing drinks.

Having never lacked food since childhood, Shen Muyan had long lost interest in such things.

She asked someone to pack a ham and cheese croissant from the kitchen and then drove back to the villa.

All the way, she kept thinking about the matter Shen Hongda had mentioned.

How exactly should she bring it up with Lu Qin?

Even before they divorced, Shen Muyan had never asked Lu Qin to do anything for her, let alone now that they were divorced.

Shen Muyan parked the car in the garage and sat in her sports car. After a moment of consideration, she dialed the phone.

She could only use the little one as an excuse for this matter.

"Hello."

On the other end of the line, Lu Qin's calm and gentle voice was the same as before.

"Hello, Lu Qin, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, I was just about to take a shower. Where's Yao Yao? Is she asleep?"
