The next day, Lin Zhou was very excited after preparing the candied hawthorns.
There's only one day left until tomorrow, and then I'll get the new reward.
How could this not be exciting?
Why is he so enthusiastic about setting up a stall every day? It's all for the system rewards.
The unknown reward was incredibly tempting to him!
......
On Saturday, the streets were quite crowded. Lin Zhou rode his tricycle along the streets and alleys of Jiangdong.
It's a good opportunity to see the city where he lives.
I'm so busy setting up my stall every day that I haven't had a chance to observe it closely.
I'm not familiar with many of these places.
This is a good opportunity to familiarize myself with the route. How can I not know the way when I'm setting up a stall outside?
"Selling candied hawthorns! Candied hawthorns!"
There were still many pedestrians on the road at midday.
As soon as I stepped onto the street, someone called out to stop me, wanting to buy candied hawthorns.
Lin Zhou maneuvered the tricycle to park on the side of the road.
Passersby who caught up with them happily came up to make their selections.
Wow, so many varieties! Boss, how much are they?
"Three yuan for one skewer, five yuan for two skewers, ten yuan for five skewers."
"So cheap?"
Passersby and diners blurted out when they heard the price.
She used to buy them at the mall; three skewers cost ten yuan, and they didn't look as pretty or delicate as the ones sold at this roadside stall.
Lin Zhou nodded.
As long as the system doesn't set prices, and he doesn't aim to make money by setting up a stall, he won't set prices too high in order to complete the task.
The same applies to the steamed buns from before.
The same applies to candied hawthorn berries today.
Although each skewer is small, it has a wide variety of fruits, including many expensive ones, making the price seem very cheap.
"Give me twenty skewers."
At a glance, there are more than 20 kinds of candied hawthorns. Excluding those strange ones, twenty skewers are just right.
"What flavor is this, boss?"
Some candied hawthorns are easily recognizable, while others look completely different.
The customer was referring to the candied glutinous rice skewers, and Lin Zhou dutifully explained the various flavors to her.
"These are sesame, red bean paste, walnut, chestnut, fig, durian..."
A passerby stared at the string of candied hawthorn berries with chili peppers. Her intuition told her that it probably wouldn't taste good, but she was really curious about what it would taste like.
In the end, curiosity triumphed over reason.
Besides some candied hawthorns that looked delicious, she also picked out a few strange-looking candied hawthorns.
The bright red color of the small red chili peppers is similar to that of hawthorn berries, but their taste is completely different.
She took photos and posted them on her WeChat Moments before she started eating.
One bite, and there's nothing particularly special about it. The chili isn't spicy; it's even a little sweet, and the texture is crunchy. But when you take another bite and taste the seeds inside, the spiciness really kicks in.
But surprisingly.
It tasted better than she had imagined.
These unusual candied hawthorns quickly garnered many likes on social media, with many asking about the taste and where they were purchased.
You can't imagine the curiosity of today's young people.
Normal candied hawthorn berries might go unnoticed, but these unusual ones attract people to take photos and share pictures.
The main dish is something I've never seen before; I'll have to try it to see what it tastes like.
Then Lin Zhou discovered that setting up a stall on the street was doing better business than at the school gate.
Wherever I go, I get stopped, and the next second a crowd of people surrounds me to buy candied hawthorns.
The key is that they don't buy the normal flavor candied hawthorns, but only the bizarre candied hawthorns he creatively developed.
"Boss, give me a skewer of ginger and a skewer of bitter melon."
"Boss, give me a skewer of spicy strips, and is that a green onion? Give me one too."
"Yam beans? What are these? Give me a bunch."
"Bell peppers? Yellow, red, and green—I want a whole bunch..."
Lin Zhou's expression turned indescribable as he looked at these young people.
He made these bizarre candied hawthorns on a whim, and they weren't even counted in the five hundred candied hawthorn skewers; he just sold them for fun.
I never expected that young people these days have such unique tastes.
He didn't even dare to eat some of the candied hawthorns he made, but when he set them up at his stall, people were scrambling to buy them.
How novel this is!
It seems that his works are appreciated by many people, and the fact that they sell so well is proof of that!
"Don't grab it, don't grab it! We have everything! We also have stinky tofu and candied hawthorn skewers—you won't find these anywhere else! New flavors! New flavors!"
......
Lin Zhou's candied hawthorn berries became an instant hit among local young people on social media after two days of wandering the streets and alleys over the weekend.
Many people took photos and posted them on social media after buying them, praising how delicious they were.
The news spread quickly, sparking everyone's curiosity and leading many interested people to go out and search for Lin Zhou.
Candied hawthorn berries suddenly became a popular urban delicacy, spreading widely.
Lin Zhou submitted the task the instant he completed it.
By the time I got home on my tricycle, the reward had already been credited to my account.
Goodness, five million.
This time it's really big.
Lin Zhou couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the balance in his bank card.
Five hundred skewers is five million. If I had known, he could have sold a thousand skewers too!
He might be a bit materialistic; other rewards are fine too, but spending money is really satisfying.
I can place my order for that watch I had my eye on before!
After a shopping spree, all that's left is to wait for the new tasks to refresh.
Lin Zhou stayed up until 3 a.m. just to see if the task would still be updated at this time.
As a result, I stayed awake until six o'clock before I received a new task.
[This week's task: Sell fried chicken! Business hours: midnight; Location: In front of Old Song Bar.]
