Chapter 54 This person probably won't be back to buy candied hawthorns anytime soon. (shuhaige.net)



I finished a whole string of pure hawthorn in two bites.

The chubby boy's mother picked up another string of walnut kernels.

The already plump hawthorn was cut open with a large slit, and a walnut kernel was placed in the middle, making it look even plumper.

Just like her son, she had a round little belly.

It tastes better.

"Awoo~"

Upon tasting it, her eyes lit up. The crispness of fresh hawthorn combined with nuts, coated in sugar, created a stunning triple texture that was truly captivating.

Walnuts themselves aren't very sweet, but they have a nutty aroma. Coated in sugar, they become sweet, and the juicy hawthorn inside is both sweet and sour. It's a fresh and unique flavor I've never tasted before!

"It's so delicious!"

Moreover, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but the sugar coating on the candied hawthorn with walnuts seemed to be slightly thicker than that on some sweeter fruits.

Eat it all in one bite.

Let's try the next flavor.

She stood there in front of Lin Zhou's stall, and before she could leave, she was so captivated by the candied hawthorns in her hand that she forgot where she was. Her eyes and mind were filled with nothing but the candied hawthorns.

Oranges, blueberries, peaches~

After trying various flavors, she could confirm that the thickness of the sugar coating for each flavor of candied hawthorn was determined by the different levels of sweetness of the ingredients.

For example, with very sweet fruits, the sugar coating is so thin and translucent that if you didn't hold them up to the sunlight and they didn't reflect light like they were plated with gold, you would think they weren't coated with sugar at all.

In contrast, the more sour pure hawthorn flavor and the less sweet candied hawthorn have a slightly thicker sugar coating to balance the taste.

The perfect sugar coating ratio makes every flavor of candied hawthorn incredibly delicious.

It's hard to say which is better.

......

On the other side, Chen Feng went to the small supermarket she frequented.

Cheng Guangpeng, a recent graduate who inherited his family's small supermarket, sat behind the bar, completely engrossed in a novel.

"Uncle, can I exchange fifty yuan?"

Um?

Uncle?

Cheng Guangpeng put down his phone, looked at Chen Feng who was speaking, and frowned slightly.

Does he look that old?

"Little brat, I'll give you one more chance. If you call it correctly, I'll change it for you."

If either of his parents were sitting here today, I believe they wouldn't hold a grudge against a primary school student.

But Cheng Guangpeng, as a recent college graduate, would!

Chen Feng was quite perceptive and immediately changed his address to "handsome guy".

"Hey handsome, can you give me fifty dollars?"

Cheng Guangpeng was pleased to be called "handsome" by the child, and his face immediately broke into a smile.

Come on~

"Just call me 'brother' next time, hehe, I'm not that handsome, am I?"

Chen Feng: ......

Adults these days are so hard to please. Calling them "handsome" isn't enough; they always try to take advantage of kids.

"elder brother!"

As Chen Feng called out, he raised his smartwatch and handed it to Cheng Guangpeng to swipe.

"Do you want it exactly fifty?"

Seeing that the little kid was so cooperative, Cheng Guangpeng also provided excellent service, offering the child five, ten, twenty, or fifty yuan as he pleased.

He's not called "handsome guy" for nothing!

"I want the fifty."

Chen Feng happily grabbed fifty yuan and ran outside.

If you don't run now, class is about to start!

"Slow down, watch the car."

People are always more tolerant and concerned about children. Cheng Guangpeng got up and followed the child to the door, ready to watch the child enter the school.

Then he watched as the child, holding fifty yuan in his hand, happily ran across the street to the candied hawthorn stall, handed the money to the vendor, and bought candied hawthorn!

Good grief, so he tricked me out of my money and then spent it elsewhere.

To be honest, he hadn't had candied hawthorn berries in a long time.

Want to get a bunch?

Seeing that it was not long before the students went to class, Cheng Guangpeng planned to leave his post to buy candied hawthorns after the school gates closed and when there was no business.

A supermarket located near a school gate has no shortage of business; the busiest time is during the period when students go to and from school.

The number of customers is not high at other times.

Chen Feng took fifty yuan and bought twenty-five skewers of candied hawthorn.

I ate five skewers while standing at the school gate, and then realized it was almost time for class.

He then stuffed the remaining candied hawthorns into his schoolbag.

Unable to put it down, he pulled out a few books and hugged them to his chest, thus bringing the smuggled candied hawthorns into the school.

......

It was two o'clock, and the school gate was empty; there weren't many students around.

Lin Zhou looked at the half-empty candied hawthorns in the glass cabinet and was quite satisfied.

If these vendors came to and from school, wouldn't all 500 skewers sell out in no time?

Moreover, during the school term, children are in a hurry, so it's not good for them to bring the items to school.

So not many people bought them, but even so, more than two hundred skewers were sold.

After school, the students were hungry after a long afternoon of classes, and the food stalls near the school gate were doing a great deal of business.

His candied hawthorns will definitely sell well.

Lin Zhou had also gone through the same thing since he was a child, so he had a very accurate grasp of the psychology of these students.

Now that the students had all entered the campus, Lin Zhou was also planning to pack up and close his stall.

Just set up a stall near any school gate after school in the evening.

If they really can't sell them all, they can set up a stall at the entrance of the night market.

Lin Zhou was happily thinking about it when he started packing up his stall.

He then heard someone waving and calling to him from across the street.

"Candied hawthorn berries! I want to buy candied hawthorn berries! Wait for me!"

The man's voice clearly reached Lin Zhou's ears across the street.

Lin Zhou looked around to make sure he was the only one selling candied hawthorns, then stopped.
