Chapter 54: The Speed and Terror of Rumors
At four o'clock in the morning, before the alarm clock rang, Zhao Xiaojing had already opened her eyes.
I didn’t sleep well last night. In my dreams, I was thinking about how to live in peace with Dong Mei.
What Dong Mei wanted her to do most was to get married, but she had already compromised in her previous life and ended up living a mess. Dong Mei felt bad seeing her living like that.
But she had experienced all these, but Dong Mei now had not, so she was still forced to get married like in her previous life, and if she refused, the situation would lead to the current deadlock.
Perhaps she can only wait until she is really capable and successful, and pays back the money. Then she can prove to Dong Mei that she can really live a good life, and the two of them can truly reconcile.
Zhao Xiaojing washed her face tiredly and set out to buy ingredients.
This morning, two more people joined the group, and now there are six people making reservations, for a total of thirty duck legs, four pounds of pork tenderloin, and three pounds of crispy pork.
I first went to the poultry wholesale market and moved a box of duck legs. I bought them from the same shop as before. When the boss saw Zhao Xiaojing, he asked her for a long time why he hadn't seen her for so many days.
Then we went to the vegetable market and bought different parts of pork, including crispy pork and tenderloin, and bought about ten pounds in total.
Passing by a grocery store and seeing all kinds of red beans, mung beans, and lilies, Zhao Xiaojing felt itchy in her heart.
When she got the recipe for the sweet soup the day before yesterday, she couldn't help but want to try it. Yesterday at noon after get off work, when she passed by a milk tea shop, she took the time to project it, but she only had time to practice for a few hours in the virtual space.
She doesn't have the machinery and equipment needed for making sugar water now. Before, she used the system-provided ice cream machine, ice cream breaker, and special peeling tools to make clear soup.
I also have to find time to buy the equipment and ingredients for the dessert stand. This is another large sum of money, and it is still a long way to go to reach 80,000 yuan.
Zhao Xiaojing sighed and shook her head. It was useless to think about it. She had to work hard to earn it.
…
Four o'clock in the afternoon, Chunfeng Experimental Primary School.
With half an hour left before school was over, Li Donglai's son, Li Feiyu, began to fidget, checking the time on his watch every once in a while.
"Li Feiyu, what's wrong with you today? You don't play with us after class, and you always skip class."
My deskmate Fu Lili asked with concern.
"I'm waiting to eat fried skewers after school! They have my favorite fried duck legs and fried pork tenderloin."
Li Feiyu glanced at his watch again, hating that time couldn't go any faster.
"Don't think about it. Sister Fried Skewers hasn't set up a stall in the alley for a long time. I don't even have the motivation to go to school now."
Fu Lili sighed and said disappointedly.
"I know, but my dad bought it yesterday, so I can eat it today."
As Li Feiyu spoke, he swallowed unconsciously.
"What! Where did you buy it?"
"Fu Lili, why are you yelling? If you make trouble again, stand in the back as punishment!"
Fu Lili shouted excitedly, and the Chinese teacher who was still teaching immediately threw a piece of chalk at her and scolded her.
Fu Lili shrank her neck and immediately lowered her head to read the book obediently.
"Where did you buy it? Is it the kushiage from Kushiage Sister?"
Seeing that the Chinese teacher was no longer paying attention to her, Fu Lili hurriedly asked Li Feiyu in a low voice.
"I don't know. My dad met her while he was taking a walk. She was the fried skewers sister."
Li Feiyu also answered in a low voice.
"Are you going to buy one after school? Can you take me one?"
"No, it seems that Sister Zha Kushi's schedule has been changed. My dad only said that he can bring the skewers back tonight."
Two heads muttered behind the propped-up books.
"Can you bring me a duck leg? Please."
Seeing that she couldn't get the time and place, Fu Lili pulled Li Feiyu's sleeve and asked him to bring her some fried skewers.
"No, my dad only bought 20 duck legs, and they're not enough for my family!"
Li Feiyu refused righteously.
Just kidding, in front of fried skewers, my female classmate is nothing!
"20?! You..."
"Fu Lili! Are you going to rebel today? Stand back!"
Fu Lili was so excited that she couldn't control her voice. She was scolded by her Chinese teacher and stood in the last row sighing.
"What's wrong with you today? So bold."
The classmate in the last row who usually played with Fu Lili asked.
"Li Feiyu bought Sister Zha Kueh's fried skewers!"
Fu Lili glanced at the Chinese teacher and turned to speak quickly to her classmates.
!!!
The classmate widened his eyes and covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound.
"Hey, you know, Li Feiyu has Sister Zha Kushi's fried skewers!"
"Li Feiyu brought some fried skewers! They belong to my sister!"
"According to reliable sources, Li Feiyu knows Sister Fried Skewers, and now has a large amount of fried skewers!"
The students in the last row spread the news from mouth to mouth, and the whole classroom began to become inexplicably restless.
At 5:20, Li Donglai paced anxiously back and forth at the school gate.
There were only about twenty parents waiting at the school gate. They all looked familiar, and they were parents of my son's classmates.
What's going on in class today? Is the teacher keeping the class going for so long?
Just as I was getting anxious, I saw a group of elementary school students running out, and my son was surrounded in the middle.
Why is there a classmate holding my son’s hands?
"Dad." Li Feiyu ran to Li Donglai with a sad face.
"What's going on? What are you doing?" Li Donglai asked in confusion.
"Why are you so late? Hey, what are you running for?"
"Liu Yufeng! Aren't you going home?"
"Shiyu, why are you pulling your classmate's clothes? Come back quickly!"
As soon as they saw their children coming out, the parents came forward to greet them. However, after the children took off their schoolbags and handed them to the parents, they ran to another parent, leaving all the parents confused.
"Uncle! Fried skewers!"
"Uncle, I want to buy two duck legs!"
"Uncle, I have one of each!"
"Uncle, I'll scan the code for you on my phone watch!"
The children surrounded Li Donglai and talked at once, and Li Donglai's brain almost stopped working.
Oh my god! It turns out being a teacher is so difficult. A group of students each speaking a sentence, his language understanding system can't keep up with the requirements!
The parents also gathered around and asked their children what it meant.
After finally maintaining order and figuring out the situation with the joint efforts of the parents, Li Donglai was already sweating profusely.
He finally witnessed the speed and horror of the spread of rumors!
The students spread the news and even made an appointment to block Li Feiyu together after school. After blocking Li Feiyu, he couldn't explain clearly.
Finally, amidst the chaotic explanations, the final version of the rumor came out, saying that Li Feiyu’s father was selling his sister’s fried skewers right at the school gate, and each person could buy twenty skewers!
Li Donglai helplessly explained the whole story to the students' parents. As a result, the parents were excited about this explanation and wanted to join Li Donglai's newly created group to buy together.
Li Donglai couldn't compete with dozens of people, so he had to call the group QR code and watched the number of people in the group continue to increase. Some people not only joined the group but also asked for friends.
Li Donglai was so sad that he wanted to sew his son's mouth shut.
The boss is obviously very busy. He begged for a long time yesterday before he finally agreed.
As a result, this group of people today directly plagiarized the fruits of his labor, and there will be more people competing with him for the fried skewers in the future!
