Divorced with a Child, Setting Up a Stall: The CEO Ex-Wife Chases Him Back

Fang Ya picked up her chopsticks and started eating, her face full of enjoyment.

Shen Muyan hesitated for a moment before taking a bite as well. After chewing for a while, her eyes lit up. Sure enough, the Fried Liver and Quick-boiled Tripe were delicious.

Though they did not look particularly appetizing, the flavor was undeniably real.

Seeing the usually picky Shen Muyan unable to stop eating, Fang Ya wore a smug expression.

"How was it, President Shen? I didn't lie to you, did I? How did it taste?"

"Very good."

Shen Muyan immediately turned to ask the owner what other dishes he could make besides the ones on the table.

With skills like these, he would have great potential if recruited into the kitchen of her hotel.

After questioning him for a while, disappointment appeared on Shen Muyan's delicate face.

The owner of this little restaurant only knew four or five signature stir-fried offal dishes. His skills with other dishes were quite ordinary.

Shen Muyan gave up on the idea. After all, hotel guests could not keep eating Fried Liver and Quick-boiled Tripe forever.

Fang Ya shook her head helplessly at Shen Muyan. "My dear President Shen, can't you put work aside for now and just eat properly at this hour?"

"You're such a major food blogger with so many connections in the culinary world. Can't you help me out?"

"Please, if you're looking for someone at state-banquet level, I only know Old Mai in Jiangcheng. The old man is already retired. Do you really have the nerve to ask him to work at your hotel?"

Shen Muyan sighed as Fang Ya put the last slice of Quick-boiled Tripe into her mouth.

Getting Ready to Set Up a Stall, Yao Yao's Dad's Three-Wheeler Food Cart Was So Cool

7:00 a.m.

Lu Qin got up, washed up, and then went to wake Lu Xiyao.

"Yao Yao, time to get up for kindergarten, you little sleepyhead."

The little girl's body clock had been adjusted well by Lu Qin. She went to bed at 9:30 every night and woke up after 7:00 in the morning.

She was getting enough sleep. Too much sleep was not good either.

Still, the little girl had quite a bit of morning grumpiness.

"Papa, I'm sleepy~!"

The little girl rolled over and wrapped herself into a little "rice dumpling."

Lu Qin gently patted her and said with a smile, "Be good. You have kindergarten today."

"Papa, can I not go to kindergarten? Yao Yao wants to stay with Papa."

"No. Dad has to make money."

"I'll help Papa make money?" The little girl suddenly sat up. She seemed to think it was a wonderful idea, instantly becoming interested and no longer wanting to stay in bed.

Smack!

Lu Qin raised a finger and flicked her forehead.

"Wuwuwu~!"

"Your little head is full of unrealistic ideas. Go to kindergarten like a good girl. That's your most important task."

"Okay~! Papa, are you going to work at a company?"

"No, Dad is going to set up a stall."

"Set up a stall? Wow, that must be fun."

The little girl had no concept of whether earning money was noble or lowly. As she got dressed, she kept asking questions curiously.

Although they had moved, it seemed that nothing had really changed in the father and daughter's daily life.

Lu Xiyao stood on a little stool in the bathroom, brushing her teeth and washing her face by herself, while Lu Qin made breakfast in the kitchen.

Breakfast was simple: milk, fried eggs, and bread.

"Wow~! Papa~! Today's fried eggs are so yummy~!"

The little girl opened her mouth wide and took a huge bite of egg. It smelled so good.

Lu Qin wiped her mouth for her. After breakfast, he took her to kindergarten and began preparing to set up a stall selling stir-fried rice noodles.

The cost of setting up a stall was low. The biggest expense was buying an electric three-wheeler.

Some time ago, domestic Three-Wheelers had become wildly popular overseas. Owning one could make you the coolest guy on the street.

Orders for Three-Wheelers had surged abroad, but prices at home had not changed.

A Three-Wheeler with good range, reliable quality, and a durable build cost around 3,000 yuan.

What surprised Lu Qin was that some shops even offered customization services for Three-Wheelers.

They could turn a Three-Wheeler into a little food cart for setting up a stall, and even threw in advertising decals like "Bobo Chicken, One Yuan per Skewer," "Freshly Scooped Hot Braised Snacks," and "Fried Skewers and Barbecue"...

Lu Qin chose a Zongshen. A major brand came with warranty coverage.

"Boss, does that include registration?"

"Registration costs another fifty yuan. If you want it converted into a food cart, customization costs another six hundred. We also have finished food carts. It's up to you—pick whichever one you want."

"I'll take a finished one."

Customizing it would take two or three days before he could pick it up, and Lu Qin could not wait that long. He directly spent 3,600 yuan on a food cart with a yellow-and-white shell.

The owner included the registration service.

The food cart was sensibly laid out and could be used to sell all kinds of food.

"Young man, scan the code inside to pay. Once the registration is done, come pick up the cart from the shop by 3:00 p.m. at the latest. Here, keep this receipt."

After buying the Three-Wheeler, Lu Qin took the bus around various vegetable markets, supermarkets, and farmers' markets, purchasing fresh, high-quality rice noodles, eggs, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other ingredients and seasonings.

With the system's max-level skills backing him up, Lu Qin had absolute control over ingredient selection.

Only good ingredients combined with superb cooking skills could produce exquisite food.

Take rice noodles, for example. Ordinary rice noodles and high-quality rice noodles produced completely different flavors when stir-fried.

The handmade rice noodles from Anyang County were premium quality. Lu Qin only found authentic Anyang Rice Noodles in a corner of a small vegetable market.

"Boss, how much are your rice noodles?"

"Four fifty a jin."

"Can you make it cheaper if I buy a lot? I'll take fifty jin."

"Fifty jin? Then I'll charge you four yuan a jin."

These handmade rice noodles were white as crystal ice, smooth as green silk, springy as rubber, and would not turn mushy no matter how long they were cooked. When stir-fried, they were not greasy with more oil and not dry with less oil. They were among the finest rice noodles.

Lu Qin paid 200 yuan. Carrying the heavy rice noodles, he also bought ten jin of free-range eggs, three jin of lean pork, three jin of ham, oil, salt, vinegar, and other items nearby, spending a total of 364.8 yuan.

There was often a shop selling disposable tableware near vegetable markets. Sure enough, after leaving the market and turning left, Lu Qin found one.

One thousand pairs of disposable chopsticks cost 30 yuan, while a box of 240 medium disposable plastic takeout containers cost 75 yuan.

The shop also sold other miscellaneous goods.

Lu Qin bought another box of tissues, ten cleaning cloths, an iron wok, an apron...

"Young man, buying so much stuff? Setting up a stall, are you?"

"Yes, Boss."

"It must be hard to carry. If it's nearby, I can make a delivery for you. Come buy from me often in the future."

"Then thank you, Boss. The address is Futian Garden."

"Futian Garden? That's close, only two and a half kilometers away. Young man, hop in my little delivery pickup."

The little pickup traveled through the streets and alleys. Boss Zhao, who sold disposable tableware, knew the old neighborhood well and had lived there for more than thirty years.

"Boss, where is it lively around here for setting up a stall?"

"Young man, you've come to the right person. My Wife used to set up a stall selling liangpi too, but she had to get up early and work late every day. I was afraid her health wouldn't hold up, so I made her stop."

"For breakfast, go to the entrance of Sunshine Elementary School. There's lots of foot traffic there. There are only one or two breakfast shops, while the rest are stalls. Pack up before 8:30, and the city inspectors won't come chase you away."

"For dinner and late-night snacks, go to University Town. Don't go to University Town's main road. They charge stall fees there, and they're insanely expensive. There's a small alley to the left of Hot Girl Hotpot. It's full of little stalls, there's no stall fee, and you can stay as long as you want. You just need to get there early. If you grab a spot near the entrance, business will be crazy good all night."

Boss Zhao was warmhearted. Once he got talking, he went on and on, giving Lu Qin a crystal-clear understanding of everything.

Lu Qin had not expected buying disposable tableware to bring such unexpected gains. After thanking Boss Zhao, he established a long-term business relationship with him.

After purchasing everything in the morning, Lu Qin took a forty-five-minute nap, then began making preparations for the stall.

He soaked and portioned the rice noodles, sliced the lean pork into strips, diced the ham... With the system, Lu Qin handled even these tedious preparations with ease and perfect order.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Lu Qin had everything ready. He went to the shop to drive the food cart back, then loaded it up.

Once he had loaded everything, he went to pick up the little girl from school.

When the extremely eye-catching Three-Wheeler food cart stopped at the school gate, every teacher, parent, and student turned to look.
