After finishing his morning's stall business, Lin Zhou returned home and collapsed onto his bed, exhausted.
Sure enough, he still doesn't like socializing.
Setting up a stall and making snacks every day is just fine.
He is prone to social anxiety when it involves social interaction and dealing with people.
After setting up the stall, there's nothing else to do.
Lin Zhou lay on the bed playing on his phone.
There's not much entertainment in the countryside, and besides playing on our phones, we don't know what else to do.
We played until lunchtime, and then continued playing in the afternoon.
They only started kneading the dough and making the flatbreads when it was almost time to set up their stall.
The more skilled he became at kneading dough, the less time he had to prepare the ingredients.
In just one hour, the dough for the flatbread was ready.
When Lin Zhou arrived, Yang Ruoli and the others were already there.
Seeing that it was still the same group of people, Lin Zhou was very suspicious that not many people believed the addresses he had replied to.
These are the people who came looking for us. I guess they didn't spread the word, otherwise the town would have been destroyed.
"Boss Lin is here."
The diners greeted him warmly, feeling both happy and disappointed to see Lin Zhou.
Because a week is such a short time.
They won't be able to eat such delicious sesame cakes tomorrow.
And who knows where Boss Lin will set up his stall next.
So my mood became particularly heavy.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Zhou found it strange that they seemed to be in a bad mood after greeting him.
These people always seem so cheerful, what's wrong with them now?
"The thought that this is the last pancake I'll have this week makes me feel uneasy."
"Hey, Mr. Lin, no matter where you set up your stall next week, I'll miss you."
"Mr. Lin, can't we settle down in Sichuan?"
"Boss Lin..."
Lin Zhou flashed his standard smile, the meaning of which was left for the diners to interpret.
In the past, he might have had the option of settling down in one place.
He now prefers the randomness of the system.
He couldn't possibly know every part of the world; with a system, location wouldn't be a concern.
Whether in remote mountain villages or big cities, strangers have the opportunity to eat his food, which is more meaningful than staying in one place.
These children have never eaten anything so delicious before.
Lin Zhou's sesame seed cakes quickly became the most delicious food the children had ever eaten.
Whether at home or at school, all they talk about is sesame seed cakes.
As a result, everyone in the villages knew that there was a pancake stall near the school gate, and that the pancakes were incredibly delicious.
More people are coming to pick up their children from school.
While picking up the kids, I also have to buy sesame seed cakes.
They were all driven to desperation by the children.
It's not an expensive item, so Lin Zhou's business is even better after school than in the morning.
Not long after I set up my stall, some elderly people came over.
"There really is a sesame seed cake stall. My child has been talking about it for two days, asking for money and sesame seed cakes every day. I didn't expect it to be true."
"That's right, it's unbelievable that people would set up stalls in our remote mountain village."
"We're so lucky here. It's just that the transportation isn't very developed, otherwise there would definitely be people coming to sell things."
"It's not expensive, one yuan a sesame seed cake, give me two."
The regular customers, seeing that it was unlikely they would buy any more, left one by one after buying their sesame cakes.
Otherwise, there will be too many people after school, and the children won't be able to leave even if they want to.
...
Lin Zhou has been setting up a stall near the school for several days.
Everyone in the village knows him, and they'll greet him when they meet.
This was something Lin Zhou hadn't expected.
As Lin Zhou met more people, he also noticed that there were almost no young people in the rural area; people in their forties were considered young.
Those who remain in the village are mostly elderly people from their families.
The younger generation all work away from home, and the village only gets lively during festivals.
The school seems to have a lot of children, but it's actually the sum of the children from several nearby villages.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the number of people in the village is significantly smaller compared to those in big cities.
So nothing really gets lively.
During the few days that Lin Zhou was here, everyone enjoyed eating this sesame seed cake. It was inexpensive and delicious.
Even some elderly people can chat for a few minutes if they meet in the village.
It was more lively than usual.
The children are out of school.
The noise was so loud it almost overturned Lin Zhou's stall.
Su Xiang was still followed by a group of his underlings when he came out of school.
Thinking of his empty pockets, Su Xiang pursed his lips and could only tell his underlings to disperse, as he had something to do today.
Thinking about repaying the money, Su Xiang ran straight to Lin Zhou's stall as soon as he came out, but he didn't see the older brother who had given him the money, nor did he see the adults who had come with him.
Su Xiang blinked in bewilderment.
Then he looked at Lin Zhou.
"Boss, aren't those older brothers and sisters here?"
Now, whenever Lin Zhou sees the kid, he thinks of the story of how the kid collected scraps to support his younger brother in order to become the older brother.
The way they looked at each other was unusually different.
"They're gone."
"Huh? Are you coming back?"
"They probably won't be coming back." Lin Zhou thought to himself, if he doesn't set up his stall here next week, Yang Ruoli and the others probably won't come either.
"Does the boss know them? I want to return the money for guiding them; it's too much, and Grandpa said he can't accept it."
What a good child!
Lin Zhou took a sesame seed cake out of the oven and handed it over.
"Try this salt and pepper flavored sesame seed cake and give it a try."
Su Xiang was still thinking about repaying the money, so he didn't react for a moment and took the food.
