"Auntie Fang Ya, goodbye! Goodnight~!"
The three-wheeled vehicle disappeared at the end of the night market street.
Fang Ya could still hear the little one's cheerful singing:
"On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, there is a group of Smurfs."
"They are lively and smart."
"They are mischievous and agile."
In the eyes of Shen Muyan and Shen Hongda, Lu Qin bringing their child to set up a stall was a rather miserable story.
But the reality was not like that.
They should have seen it with their own eyes, how popular Lu Qin's stall was.
This one evening, the little one was happier than going to an amusement park.
Fang Ya got into a taxi and only then opened her phone.
There were 5 missed calls from Shen Muyan.
Fang Ya called back.
Shen Muyan's voice on the other end was cold, clearly in a bad mood.
"President Shen~!"
"Where did you go?"
"To the night market street to eat fried rice noodles. I called you, but you didn't come."
"What's going on with the little one's photos?"
"It's fate. The fried rice noodle stall that a netizen recommended to me was Lu Qin's stall. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"You really should have come. Lu Qin's fried rice noodles and twice-cooked pork are really super delicious."
"You didn't know your ex-husband was such a good cook before?"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Muyan was silent.
Fang Ya chattered on, vividly describing the bustling scene at the stall to Shen Muyan.
"President Shen! The profit from your ex-husband's stall for one day can be twenty to thirty thousand at most."
"Calculated this way, it's even higher than your salary as president~!"
Shen Muyan: "..."
When Fang Ya returned home, she dropped her phone and went to take a bath by herself.
She had been at the night market street all night and felt greasy all over.
Shen Muyan lay on the bed, holding her phone, hesitating whether to send a message to Lu Qin.
But she didn't know what to say.
She typed in the WeChat chat window: Your ice crystal cake tastes very good, I want to eat more...
After editing, Shen Muyan pressed the delete key and deleted the content.
She was a bit sleepless that night.
9:30 PM.
Lu Qin was helping the little one with her evening routine.
"Yao Yao, use this toothpaste."
Lu Qin took out a tube of toothpaste, pink, with a little white rabbit pattern on it.
This was children's toothpaste obtained from the System's lucky draw. It could effectively prevent cavities, unlike the exaggerated claims in TV commercials.
The little one's eyes lit up; she liked little white rabbits.
She squeezed a little toothpaste onto her toothbrush and began brushing up and down.
"It smells good, it's fruit-flavored."
"Papa, I like using this toothpaste."
The little one breathed a puff of air at Lu Qin and then giggled.
Lu Qin sniffed; her breath was fresh, with a faint fruity scent.
Lu Qin also smiled, wrung out the towel, and wiped the little one's tender face.
"Alright, go to sleep."
"Papa, tomorrow is kindergarten, can I bring fried rice noodles and twice-cooked pork for lunch?"
Lu Xiyao jumped onto the bed and burrowed into the thin quilt, revealing a cute little head.
"You can just sleep obediently now."
"I'm sleeping right now, hmph~! Hmph~!"
The little one fell asleep instantly, pretending to snore.
Lu Qin smiled and shook his head. He gently patted the little one's body, and only after she was truly asleep did he quietly leave the room.
Walking into the yard, Lu Qin spent 20 minutes cleaning the food truck.
Before going to sleep, Lu Qin used his lottery tickets with over a thousand system points.
[Consumed 100 points, obtained attribute points: Stamina +0.1]
[Consumed 100 points, obtained 20 mint candies]
[Consumed 100 points, obtained max-level Chicken Tofu Pudding making technique]
[Consumed 100 points, obtained one Sunny Day Card]
Lu Qin felt a slight stir in his heart; there were always rewards from the daily point lottery.
There were even attribute points!
A 0.1 stamina attribute point was equivalent to a fitness enthusiast jogging three kilometers every day for three months.
Lu Qin obtained it directly, but his body showed no significant physical changes.
This lottery also yielded another max-level dish technique.
Chicken Tofu Pudding was a dish selected for state banquets, something not usually found in regular restaurants.
Making Chicken Tofu Pudding required great skill from the chef, as the saying goes, "you eat chicken but don't see chicken," and "you eat meat but don't see meat."
Chicken Tofu Pudding involved transforming meat ingredients into a vegetarian form, meaning "using meat to enhance vegetarianism."
Lu Qin planned to try selling Chicken Tofu Pudding tomorrow, offering it in limited quantities, just like the Twice Cooked Pork.
The next morning.
Lu Qin got up, washed up, and prepared the ingredients for the morning stall.
Lu Qin unbanned the Penguin group and then posted a group announcement.
[Morning stall at 8 AM, location: Sunshine Elementary School entrance]
As soon as the announcement was made, the group immediately stirred.
"Battle location confirmed, Sunshine Elementary School entrance!"
"Brothers, charge!"
"I'm in West City, so what if I'm late for work? I'll detour just to eat a bite of Boss Lu's Fried Rice Noodles. At worst, I'll get half a day's pay docked!"
"The one above, you're a true warrior!"
"I had given up breakfast, but I'll give Boss Lu some face..."
"Hahaha~! My home is in the residential area opposite Sunshine Elementary School. Buying this house was really the right choice!"
"Envious and jealous~!"
Lu Qin roughly scrolled through the group messages. Although these customers were noisy, they were also very cute.
Closing the group chat window, Lu Qin clicked on the Penguin system messages.
There were over a dozen new customers requesting to join the group.
[So Handsome They Want to Chop Me] requested to join the group, with a message: My daily wages are all contributed to Boss Lu's stall!
[If I Don't Eat Fried Rice Noodles, I'll Die] requested to join the group, with a message: Please add me++++++
[Yao Yao's Stepmom] requested to join the group, with a message: Honey, add me!
