Divorce, Child-Rearing, and Street Stalls: The Ex-Wife Chases the CEO - Section 36

The fourteen system lottery draws yielded generous rewards.

As knowledge and skill rewards were drawn, Lu Qin's mind began to race.

Rich experience flowed into his mind, nerves, and muscles as if divinely inspired, becoming seamlessly integrated.

The System's insect repellent was incredibly effective, specifically designed for street vending.

Simply placing it inside the food cart ensured that no flying or crawling insects would come near, regardless of the environment.

Moreover, the repellent's scent was very faint, undetectable unless one had an exceptionally keen sense of smell.

"Good stuff," Lu Qin's eyes lit up.

However, even better things were yet to come.

That would be the 'Fresh-Locking Thermostatic Box.'

With a thought, Lu Qin summoned a sturdy plastic box with a light green exterior and a 120L capacity, which appeared on the floor of his room.

Lu Qin got out of bed and examined the box.

From its appearance, it resembled outdoor cooler boxes found on the market.

But this System-provided box offered more than just insulation.

Its most crucial function was fresh-locking.

According to the System's explanation, using leftover dishes as an example: if food was placed inside the box and sealed overnight, opening it the next day would reveal the food completely unspoiled.

The taste and temperature would be exactly the same as when it was put in the night before.

It was truly magical.

If a dish was placed inside, it could guarantee the original flavor of the meal as if it were freshly cooked for seven to eight hours.

For preserving fruits and vegetables, it was even more than sufficient, almost overkill.

After all, fruits and vegetables could be kept fresh in a refrigerator.

The 'Fresh-Locking Thermostatic Box' had a built-in rechargeable battery that could last for three days on a full charge.

Of course, items obtained through the System's lottery draws would not be discovered by others.

Take this box, for instance; if someone else were to use it, it would appear no different from an ordinary insulated container.

Through these lottery draws, Lu Qin had even mastered two foreign languages.

It was possible that foreign customers might visit his food stall, and knowing foreign languages would be useful.

His mastery of Italian was at a C2 level, reaching native fluency, making him capable of acting as a translator.

The same applied to German.

Among the fourteen lottery rewards, the best was the "Master-Level Twice-Cooked Pork Skill."

Now, Lu Qin could prepare the most delicious and authentic twice-cooked pork.

The next morning.

Lu Qin woke up at six o'clock.

He didn't need to go to the market to buy ingredients today; Boss Zhao had already delivered a batch of ingredients and takeout boxes the previous afternoon.

Lu Qin soaked the rice noodles and placed them in a colander to air dry naturally.

Then, he began cooking the mung bean paste and making the ice crystal cakes.

Twice-cooked pork wasn't suitable for morning sales, so Lu Qin didn't prepare the corresponding ingredients.

A little over an hour later, Lu Qin loaded his vending supplies onto the vehicle.

He rode out to set up his morning stall.

Outside Sunshine Elementary School.

Today was Sunday, so there were no students or parents.

Residents in the nearby residential areas, who could have slept in, had woken up early and gathered downstairs.

Lu Qin's three-wheeled food cart hadn't arrived yet, but several people were already milling around the vending spot.

It was clear these people were waiting for Lu Qin.

Beep beep—

The horn honked twice, and the people quickly moved aside.

Seeing the familiar and eagerly awaited three-wheeled food cart, a group of people's eyes lit up.

"Little Boss Lu, you're finally here!"

"I was here first, I want three servings of fried rice noodles, three cups of mung bean paste, and two boxes of ice crystal cakes."

"Boss Lu, your Ice Crystal Cakes are delicious! My daughter ate a whole box yesterday and still wanted more. She cried all night."

"Boss Lu, I gave the Ice Crystal Cake to the goddess I have a crush on, and she asked me out!"

"I drank eight cups of Mung Bean Paste yesterday, my stomach almost burst. I don't dare drink it today, so I'll just have Fried Rice Noodles."

In an hour and a half, Lu Qin had already sold nearly 200 servings of Fried Rice Noodles.

The Mung Bean Paste was also sold out, as expected.

Of the Ice Crystal Cakes, Lu Qin kept 6 boxes and sold the rest.

After the morning stall, Lu Qin rode his three-wheeled vehicle food cart to the Ouri International Hotel.

The Ouri Hotel in Annan District was the largest of the six chain hotels in Jiang City. With its 42 floors, it towered into the sky.

The hotel had 588 various luxury suites and 18 dining establishments with over 1000 seats, offering guests a wide variety of specialty Chinese and Western dishes.

Lu Qin had basically never been to the hotel, and the hotel staff didn't recognize him.

The hotel guard post had a boom barrier that only recognized cars.

So, Lu Qin parked his three-wheeled vehicle in a marked parking space by the roadside and walked in carrying the Ice Crystal Cakes.

The two doormen at the hotel entrance saw Lu Qin park his three-wheeled vehicle food cart by the roadside, but they still greeted him with smiles, showing great professionalism.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

"Oh, hello, I need to go to the front desk."

"Certainly, this way please."

The doorman led Lu Qin inside. Seeing that Lu Qin was carrying something, he assumed the man was a delivery person.

However, guests staying at such a hotel rarely ordered takeout, as the hotel itself offered various specialty dining options.

The doorman, feeling a bit confused, led Lu Qin to the front desk.

There were three beautiful young ladies in business attire at the front desk. The one in the middle stood up.

She offered a sweet smile and politely asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to deliver food," Lu Qin said directly.

"Okay, may I ask which room the guest is in?"

The front desk lady maintained her composure, but she had the same thought as the doorman.

"It's for your hotel's Shen..."

Before Lu Qin could finish, a foreign man in his thirties appeared beside him, followed by an assistant.

The hotel's VIP Guest Room Department Manager followed behind, repeatedly apologizing.

"Mr. Rossi, your planned itinerary was for seven days, and it's only the third day, yet you wish to leave. Is there something unsatisfactory about our hotel's service?"

Whether guests stayed or left was their prerogative.

However, the manager still wanted to understand the reason, as Mr. Rossi was a VIP guest. If he suddenly decided not to stay, understanding the cause would help him report back.

"Your service is very satisfactory, but the food in your hotel is truly unbearable!"

Rossi explained something in a foreign language.

Lu Qin, standing nearby, understood. It turned out this foreign guest was from Italy.

The manager only understood English and couldn't comprehend. He turned his gaze to the assistant beside him.

After the assistant translated, the manager apologized again profusely.

Rossi said dejectedly, "Jiang City is indeed prosperous, but in terms of cuisine, it has truly disappointed me."

The assistant translated helplessly, then quietly said to the manager in Chinese:

"Our Mr. Rossi has a very discerning palate. This is already the third five-star hotel we've tried since arriving in Jiang City."
