"I want one strawberry one, one of these, and one of these..."
The glass display case was filled with all sorts of candied hawthorns, it was dazzling to choose from.
There were many flavors that the little girl, as a primary school student, didn't recognize and couldn't name. She could only point to them and ask Lin Zhou to pack them up.
Lin Zhou held a cardboard tray with one hand to hold the candied hawthorns, and with the other hand, he picked up the corresponding candied hawthorns according to the little girl's instructions.
"Alright, summer candied hawthorns should be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise they will melt if not refrigerated."
Lin Zhou carefully wrapped each small candied hawthorn in glutinous rice paper before handing it to the young customer.
When making food, it's important that it tastes good and is clean.
Especially for roadside stalls, cleanliness and hygiene are essential to attracting passersby.
The little girl took the candied hawthorn skewers and, without giving anyone else a chance to imagine, took a bite of a string of clear, shiny strawberry candied hawthorn skewers.
Passersby who were nearby even heard a crisp cracking sound.
Once you bite into the sugar coating, you can immediately taste the fresh strawberry inside.
The gushing strawberry juice, with a hint of tartness, creates a wonderfully unique texture when chewed together with the hard sugar coating.
The delicious food made the little girl laugh out loud.
The sweet and sour taste of candied hawthorn berries is simply irresistible to children.
"Mommy, I want candied hawthorns! I want to eat candied hawthorns!"
As I passed by, the chubby boy only glanced at the candied hawthorns on Lin Zhou's stall before he couldn't move on.
If it weren't for the glass display case, he would have climbed right up to the candied hawthorns to get a better look.
This little glutton's inability to resist food is infuriating to his mother.
"Your teeth are all blackened, and you're still eating? What are you eating? You're dreaming!"
The chubby boy's mother grabbed his arm and tried to shove him into the school.
But the chubby boy was reluctant to leave. His eyes were fixed on the candied hawthorns, his mouth was watering, and he clung to the glass display case, refusing to go.
With both sides pulling, Lin Zhou's tricycle was also pulled a few centimeters off course.
Lin Zhou: ......
"Class is about to start, and you won't be able to eat it even if I buy it. I'll buy it for you after school tonight."
After struggling for a long time, the mother still couldn't get him to leave, so she gave Lin Zhou an awkward smile.
Then, when force didn't work, they tried a softer approach, starting by coaxing and cajoling their eldest son.
"Then Mom has to keep her word!"
The chubby boy didn't know what time it was, but seeing all the students walking into the school gate, he was worried about being late, so he reluctantly let go of Lin Zhou's tricycle.
"Fine, fine, you go to class now."
After finally getting her child into school, this mother breathed a huge sigh of relief. Taking care of her child every day was like fighting a battle.
After turning around and not seeing her child, the mother walked towards Lin Zhou's stall.
In just a short while, Lin Zhou had already sold dozens of strings of skewers.
On the system task interface, the number of 500 candied hawthorn skewers per day is gradually decreasing.
It seems that whether it's a large or small skewer, as long as it's a skewer, it won't affect the task.
He seemed to have found a clever trick to exploit a loophole!
Lin Zhou hummed a song happily as he enthusiastically packed candied hawthorns for the little customers.
"Boss, can I pay with my smartwatch?"
The elementary school student stared longingly at the candied hawthorns in the glass display case, holding up his wristwatch and asking a question.
Lin Zhou looked at his phone watch and fell silent for a moment.
Sometimes it can feel quite helpless to set up a stall all by yourself.
"I don't know if I can pay, but I'll give it a try. I can choose any flavor of candied hawthorn. It's three yuan a skewer, five yuan for two skewers, or ten yuan for five skewers."
"I want fifty yuan's worth."
As a third-grade student, Chen Feng has fifty yuan of pocket money every day. He usually pays for things using the payment QR code on his smartwatch, which is very convenient.
But he always paid at the store before.
I wonder if you can use your smartwatch to pay at roadside stalls.
Chen Feng looked at the candied hawthorns and was really tempted. She stood there for several minutes, still wanting to eat them, so she mustered up her courage and came over to ask.
"Sorry, I can't pay. I only accept QR code payments, not swipe payments."
Lin Zhou tried scanning the payment code on the smartwatch with his phone, but it wouldn't work.
Unfortunately, he had to decline Chen Feng's offer.
This is the biggest order we've ever placed.
"Alright then, boss, you're not in a hurry to leave, are you?"
Chen Feng was very hungry and impatient. Even though it was the middle of summer, he was sweating profusely standing in the sun.
Seeing the pitiful little boy looking at him, Lin Zhou naturally said that he was not in a hurry to leave and told him not to rush.
"Great, I'll go to the supermarket near the school gate to exchange money."
With that, Chen Feng took off running towards the small supermarket across the street.
Lin Zhou was terrified when he saw it.
"Slow down, slow down, I'm not going!"
If it weren't for the traffic police on the road, he definitely wouldn't have felt safe chasing after them.
Otherwise, running on the road would be far too dangerous.
"Boss, how much are the candied hawthorns?"
The chubby boy's mother was also tempted by the candied hawthorns.
Such beautiful candied hawthorns are a rare sight.
Under the sunlight, the various candied hawthorns in the glass cabinet gleamed with a translucent, caramel-colored sheen, sparkling and very tempting.
Its crystal-clear appearance makes it resemble a fine work of art, with a glass-like transparency, rather than something edible.
"Pick whatever you like, three yuan for one skewer, five yuan for two skewers, ten yuan for five skewers."
Lin Zhou has repeated this sentence many times.
The prices were clearly written on the menu, but these customers' eyes were fixed on the candied hawthorns, and they didn't bother to look at them at all.
When the guest asked, Lin Zhou couldn't ignore it, so he could only repeat himself over and over again.
