Chapter 70: Setting Up the Stall! (1/2)

Zhao Qingfeng whispered something in Zhang Yang’s ear.

Zhang Yang was startled and wanted to ask more, but Zhao Qingfeng just kicked him and told him to hurry home to study.

By the time Zhao Qingfeng rode his bike with Shen Lingyao to the entrance of No. 4 Middle School, it was already quite dark.

From a distance, Zhao Qingfeng saw his tidying up her stall.

In just two days, a few more white hairs had appeared on his forehead.

Yet, her face bore a smile because business had been good that day.

But she was also aware that many students were lingering without buying, just waiting for Shen Lingyao to show up.

The news had spread throughout No. 4 Middle School.

The students all wanted to catch a glimpse of the school beauty, Shen Lingyao.

Those who had bought yesterday came back for more today.

They couldn’t understand why Shen Lingyao’s grilled sausages, though burnt, tasted so delicious. Was this the added effect of beauty?

“Mom!”

Zhao Qingfeng parked his bike behind the stall, ready to help his close up for the day.

“Aunt Feng, I’m here!”

However, Shen Lingyao jumped off the bike and hurriedly started helping, eager to earn more money.

Finally, the students had their chance to see Shen Lingyao, their eyes shining brightly.

No. 4 Middle School had other school beauties, but none could compare to Shen Lingyao.

The students stared longingly, each wishing for a girlfriend like her. They eagerly handed over their money, satisfied even with just a few words exchanged. If they could catch a glimpse from Shen Lingyao’s beautiful eyes, they felt incredibly uplifted.

“Here she comes, the great school beauty!”

“Look, I told you Shen Lingyao would come!”

“Quick, quick, I’m first, I’ve been waiting for ages. Today I’m buying twenty, the school beauty’s brand grilled sausages!”

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t want the two women he loved to be tainted by the smoke and grime of the stall.

But he had no say in the matter, as Shen Lingyao wouldn’t allow it.

She pinched Zhao Qingfeng, telling him not to speak, then squatted down clumsily to open the sausage box. She looked up mischievously at the waiting students and shouted, “Don’t be anxious, guys. Yaoyao’s brand grilled sausages coming right up! Eat one, get into Beijing University; two, Tsinghua University; three, choose any university in Huaxia. If you want some, you can pay my aunt now!”

Qingfeng’s mother also wanted to stop Shen Lingyao.

But the students were too enthusiastic, their noise almost drowning out her voice.

Shen Lingyao ignored the advice, quickly unpacked the box, put on white gloves, and clumsily skewered the sausages with bamboo sticks, inserting them haphazardly.

Zhao Qingfeng pulled Shen Lingyao aside, “Yaoyao, didn’t we agree to persuade my mom to pack up when we came?”

Shen Lingyao glared at him and threw the skewered sausages at him, “That’s what we said, but we can’t just pass up the opportunity to make money! Hurry up and help me peel these. If you say another word, I’ll peel your skin off when we get home!”

┌(。Д。)┐…

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly felt that the days ahead might not be easy.

Though he was inevitably harassed, he couldn’t bear to resist, given Shen Lingyao’s fierce wifely gaze.

Peeling, skewering, setting up, start grilling!

Shen Lingyao stood in front of the less than one-meter-tall grill, engulfed in smoke, chatting with the students, grilling the sausages haphazardly.

Her cooking skills never seemed to improve.

Today’s technique was even worse than yesterday’s – either burnt, too salty, or the sticks breaking and falling onto the charcoal.

But this didn’t dampen the students’ enthusiasm.

So what if they were burnt?

They weren’t really there to eat the sausages, but to see Shen Lingyao up close.

Her clumsy actions, in the boys’ eyes, were so adorable and charming.

This was a special treatment only a cute girl like Shen Lingyao could enjoy…

“Mom, I’ve found a good job that could earn us 50,000 yuan this month.”

While busy working, Zhao Qingfeng spoke to his mother.

“It’s not easy to make money in the provincial city. Don’t go next week, Mom can make money. Wait, Little Feng, what did you just say?”
