After divorcing, Su Chen became a single dad. Unexpectedly, he awakened a random gourmet street stall system. Every now and then, the system would assign him a new stall location. Wherever he went,...
Chapter 490 Little business genius!
Unexpectedly, Nuonuo, who was always concentrating on eating, noticed it and was very confused: "Why didn't Dad answer the phone?"
"It's a scam call." Su Chen replied.
Nuonuo tilted her head and asked, "Dad, what is a scam?"
She is in the "a hundred thousand whys" stage and is full of curiosity about everything.
Su Chen smiled and replied casually.
"Someone is trying to cheat you out of your money so you can't have candy, can't eat enough food, or watch Peppa Pig."
Every time Su Chen gave an example, Nuonuo's pupils trembled.
Oh my god, is this the kind of life a baby can live?
"That's too abominable! Daddy will never answer the phone!"
Little Dumpling was filled with righteous indignation, holding the rice bowl tightly with his little hands, as if he was afraid that the rice would fly away along the telephone wire.
"...Yeah." Su Chen barely suppressed the curve of his lips.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at his daughter, suddenly feeling the urge to test her.
"Nuonuo, if someone says he will return ten candies to you, but only if you give him five first, what would you do?"
Nuonuo pondered for a moment with a serious expression, and finally said solemnly: "Give it to him."
“…”
Su Chen thought that the little girl looked innocent and easy to deceive, and in fact she was indeed easy to deceive, and she was the type who helped others count the money even after being sold.
The more Nuonuo thought about it, the happier it became. "I give him five and he gives me ten, so I'll have one, two, three, four, five, five candies! One for Nuonuo, one for dad, and one for the housekeeper..."
Nuonuo counted on her fingers and thought about it. The more she thought, the more she felt that she was a little genius in business!
Worthy of being daddy’s baby!
The fantasy was beautiful, but Su Chen ruthlessly broke it: "No, he lied to you and ran away with your five candies."
The child felt very unwell and the spoon fell into the bowl with a clang.
Trust between people?
This was the first time she felt the dangers of society through the mouths of adults.
“But. But.”
Nuonuo stammered and couldn't speak, her little face flushed red.
In the end, he could only turn his grief and anger into appetite, and took a big mouthful of rice fiercely, fearing that he would not be able to eat one day.
While eating, he mumbled incoherently: "Humph, I hate bad people!"
"Dad! Don't worry, I will be a good boy from now on and won't fall for any bad guys' tricks. If that doesn't work out, I'll just give the candy to you for safekeeping!"
Su Chen finally couldn't help but rubbed his daughter's soft head.
"Okay, Dad will help you."
I hope today's small class can be of some use.
After all, if you want the little girl to believe that the world is beautiful, you also have to let her learn to protect her candy.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was Thursday afternoon.
For Su Chen, the only thing left to complete this week's task is to go to someone's house and cook for the last time.
This time the location seemed a little different. It was neither an ordinary residential building nor a restaurant.
The location given by the diner on the order was by the lake, and according to the navigation, one even had to leave the city to get there.
Su Chen drove the Cullinan, speeding along the road out of the city and rushing towards his destination.
Finally, following the navigation instructions, he found a parking lot near his location.
The parking lot was quite busy, with many cars parked there and more cars driving in from time to time.
The car owners got out of their cars, carrying fishing gear, buckets and other equipment.
This is a semi-artificial lake located on the outskirts of the city. Su Chen had a vague impression of it. He remembered that he seemed to have seen this place while watching videos.
It is a popular place for camping, hiking and fishing.
Seeing it with my own eyes now, the surrounding environment is indeed pleasant.
As soon as Su Chen got out of the car, a young man came up to him enthusiastically and greeted him: "Wow, as soon as I saw this Cullinan, I knew it must be you, Boss Su!"
"Hello, is this your order?"
Su Chen responded with a smile and looked carefully at the other person's face. He felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember the name.
It must be one of my old customers.
"I guess so. We've formed a team. By the way, Boss Su, you can just call me Xiao Yao."
Xiao Yao said this, gestured with his hand, and led Su Chen towards the lake.
Su Chen followed Xiao Yao forward, looking around and feeling confused. This place didn't look like a place where one could cook.
However, when they arrived at their destination, they discovered that it was actually a camping site.
Five tents formed a circle around an open space, on which was placed a rectangular open oven.
On the table next to them, a gas stove, a wok, various cooking utensils and a complete range of seasonings were neatly placed. It seemed that they came well prepared.
"I'm back with Boss Su!"
Xiao Yao shouted excitedly towards the tent at the top of his voice.
Then, seven or eight people quickly walked out from different tents.
"Boss Su! I miss you so much!"
"Boss Su, long time no see!"
Su Chen felt that these people looked familiar, but he couldn't remember their specific names.
As soon as they met, everyone surrounded Su Chen enthusiastically and came forward to greet him.
After the greetings, Su Chen checked the number of people.
"There are quite a lot of you here."
He quickly counted them and found that there were nine people in total, including Xiao Yao.
If you cook for the number of people, it is almost equivalent to preparing a whole table of food. If you do it alone, you will be exhausted.
Although he is more lenient with old diners and does not require them to come according to the time on the software, they cannot really be treated like donkeys.
Xiao Yao noticed Su Chen's concerns and hurried forward to explain, "Boss Su, we really have no choice. After all, you only have a few appointments, and there are too many people and too little porridge. There really isn't enough to go around."
"Everyone missed your cooking so much that we got together to have a party."
After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement with Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao continued, "Of course, we also know that it's unrealistic for you to cook so many dishes by yourself. It would be difficult for you."
"How about this? You can just cook a dish you're good at. If you don't want to cook, that's totally fine too."
"Today we're mainly having barbecue. We've already cut and skewered the ingredients. All you have to do is grill it."
After saying that, he looked at Su Chen expectantly.
Su Chen thought about it.
If, as Xiao Yao and the others said, they are only responsible for the barbecue, the arrangement is actually quite reasonable.
After all, simply grilling is indeed much easier than cooking.
There were only nine people in front of him. Compared with the previous stall at the grave mountain, facing many diners, it was a small scene.
However, the only problem is that the system's tasks this week clearly limit it to home-cooked dishes.
But rules are dead, people are alive, and there are always more solutions than problems.
Su Chen quickly thought of a solution.
