"Who is this now? Can't an old man get some rest on the weekend?"
"Hello?"
"Old Mai, it's Old Ge!"
"It's you? Don't ask me for drinks, I quit a long time ago."
"I'm not asking you to drink, I'm inviting you to eat."
"Oh really? Eat? I'm a picky eater!"
"I guarantee it'll be delicious."
"When?"
"Tomorrow at 9 AM."
"For lunch?"
"Breakfast."
"What? Breakfast?"
Shen Muyan finally finished her meeting and had to go inspect various departments.
This meticulous work attitude left Fang Ya speechless.
When will this workaholic ever learn to enjoy life?
Fang Ya sighed; it looked like she'd have to go to the University Town Night Market alone tonight.
Fang Ya opened the Penguin group chat. It was still in mute, not a single update.
She wondered when Lu Qin would set up his stall.
Fang Ya really wanted to eat Ice Crystal Cake. After all, she'd only gotten a taste before, and Shen Muyan had eaten most of it.
Fang Ya had to suppress her cravings and prepare to go to the night market alone again.
This time, she was determined to try that legendary Fried Rice Noodles.
For dinner, Lu Qin made Twice Cooked Pork. It was Lu Xiyao's first time, and she almost bit her tongue off.
"Papa~! This Twice Cooked Pork is so yummy~!"
Lu Qin scooped a piece of green vegetable for the little one and said:
"Don't just eat meat, you need to eat more vegetables too."
"Got it~!"
The little one first ate a piece of Twice Cooked Pork, which was fatty but not greasy, and then shoveled rice and vegetables into her mouth.
The vegetables, like the rice, became the main course, not a side dish.
Compared to the Twice Cooked Pork, the vegetables really didn't taste as good.
The father and daughter cleared all the food, eating until they were full.
The little one even licked the Twice Cooked Pork plate clean, her mouth covered in grease.
"Papa~! So delicious~! Can I bring Twice Cooked Pork to kindergarten tomorrow~?"
"Alright, but you can't just eat the meat."
"I know, kids need to eat more vegetables for balanced nutrition so they can grow tall~!"
Lu Xiyao said earnestly.
She understood the principles.
Lu Qin smiled and got up to wash the dishes.
"Papa~! I'll help~!"
Lu Qin washed the plates, and Lu Xiyao dried them.
At 7:30 PM, the father and daughter rode their three-wheeled food cart and set off.
To set up their night snack stall.
Changlin Road University Town, night market street.
The owner of Hot Girl Hotpot stood at the entrance, watching the bustling crowd in the alley, his heart pounding.
"Good heavens! This scene! It's too much!"
A waiter from the hotpot restaurant, who had just finished his shift, slipped out, intending to queue for a spot.
"Hold it right there."
The hotpot restaurant owner called out to him.
"Boss, I'm off work. You're not going to make me work overtime, are you?"
"Can you grab me an order of fried rice noodles and some mung bean paste?"
"Huh?"
The hotpot restaurant owner had wanted to try it for ages, but Lu Qin's business was so booming that he hadn't managed to buy anything even once.
He was still craving it now.
Lu Qin's fried rice noodle stall had been set up in the alley for three or four days, and its popularity had exceeded all expectations.
Old Liu's fried rice noodle stall had been at the alley entrance for five or six years. After Lu Qin arrived, it completely messed with Old Liu's head, and the man was now keeping his distance.
The number of other stalls in the alley had halved.
None of them could shake the position of Lu Qin's fried rice noodle stall.
The number of people in the Penguin group had also reached 320+.
Twenty minutes ago, Lu Qin had lifted the mute and sent out a notice.
The group members seemed to have been holding back all day, and the chat window suddenly started scrolling rapidly.
"Holy crap! Finally, Boss Lu is setting up shop! Brothers, charge!"
"Old spot, night market street, bring your eating utensils and let's go!"
"Haha! I'm already here! How's that for foresight!"
"There's Twice Cooked Pork tonight! Awesome! I'll bring my own rice!"
"I haven't eaten lunch or dinner, just waiting for Boss Lu's fried rice noodles! Here I come~!"
"We're just living off Boss Lu's food every day!"
"Boss Lu, can you be my brother-in-law? My sister is the campus belle, fair-skinned, beautiful, and tall with long legs. She can be both cool and sweet!"
"Get lost, upstairs!"
As Lu Qin's three-wheeled vehicle drove into the alley, a burst of warm applause erupted.
"Boss Lu, you're finally here!"
"I'm only a few minutes away from starving to death, hurry up and save me!"
"Everyone, make way, line up properly, don't delay Boss Lu setting up his stall!"
The line quickly straightened into a single file, almost as orderly as a military parade.
Lu Xiyao was very excited. Sitting on the three-wheeled vehicle, she waved her fair, tender little hands.
She wasn't shy at all and was very bold.
"Hello, big brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties~!"
"Thanks for waiting~!"
"Thank you all for patronizing my dad's business~!"
"Eat a lot later, okay~!"
The little one's milky voice instantly melted everyone's hearts.
"Aww! This little cutie is so adorable!"
"We see Boss Lu's daughter again! She's so lively!"
"Whose little princess is this? I want to kidnap her!"
"Come here, let me pinch your little cheeks!"
Lu Qin didn't need to look for a spot; the customers who had arrived early had already helped him secure one.
It was about 10 meters inside the alley entrance.
