Next Wednesday will arrive soon.
It was also the first time Wen Shuqiao had set up a stall. She had been running around for the past two days, getting her permits and finding a location. Canbao followed along, and he didn't mind the fatigue. When Wen Shuqiao was busy, he would obediently stand aside and wait. When Wen Shuqiao wasn't busy and played with him, he would be very happy.
The system wondered, "Why was the young male protagonist so easily satisfied when he was a child?"
Humans are indeed strange creatures; the older we get, the more easily we feel empty.
The young protagonist ate at roadside stalls with Wen Shuqiao, and he would dream about it every night. However, when he grew up, he became just like his uncle, picky about everything.
Wen Shuqiao's stall location was also found with the help of a fellow online acquaintance who also runs a stall. On the day of the event, Wen Shuqiao pushed the stall there, and the online acquaintance was already there.
When they arrived, Wen Shuqiao discovered that the other person was actually a single mother.
No wonder the other party became even more enthusiastic after they found out I had brought a doll.
Her child is a year younger than Can Can and can't speak fluently yet, but he is well-fed, chubby, and very cute.
Can Can also curiously looked at this younger sister.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Sister Qin, thank you so much for helping me with the location of the stall this time."
Sister Qin waved her hand: "I didn't help much, I just gave you a word or two of advice."
Sister Qin sells rice balls. She had just finished preparing them and made a rice ball for Can Can.
Can Can stared longingly at the rice ball, but dared not take it, hiding behind Wen Shu Qiao and just watching.
Wen Shuqiao took the rice ball and said, "Thank you, sister. My nephew is a bit shy."
Sister Qin laughed and said, "I can tell. You'll be fine once you go to kindergarten and spend more time with the other kids."
Wen Shuqiao thought the same way. At first, she wanted to help Cancan grow bolder, but later she realized it wasn't necessary, so she didn't insist.
After exchanging pleasantries, Sister Qin said, "There are several office buildings ahead, some of which close at midnight. People will arrive around 12:10."
Sister Qin was clearly very familiar with the situation here. She gave a few instructions and finally said, "With so many people, you have to keep a close eye on the children. There was a woman who brought her daughter to set up a stall before, and some bastard almost kidnapped her daughter. Luckily, she was caught in time."
Wen Shuqiao nodded. She looked down at the young male lead, who was sitting on his own little stool, eating rice balls next to her legs.
Sister Qin added a lot of ingredients to his food, and he was enjoying it very much.
She squatted down and said, "Canbao, just sit still and don't move, okay?"
Can Can nodded, replying indistinctly, "Okay! Can Bao, sit down!"
Wen Shuqiao asked, "Are the rice balls delicious?"
Can Can nodded, and Wen Shuqiao added, "Shouldn't you thank Aunt Qin? Can Bao didn't seem to say thank you when she gave you the rice ball."
Can Can looked at Wen Shu Qiao with some hesitation, then quickly glanced at Aunt Qin beside her.
Aunt Qin is a very nice aunt, and the little girl is very cute. She even gave me a delicious rice ball. As a polite child, I should thank her.
The system also noticed that Can Can seemed a little too shy, and it encouraged her: "As a good child, be polite."
Can Can finally made up her mind, stood up from the small stool, grabbed the rice ball in one hand, and put the other hand into the small bag in front of her.
He walked up to Aunt Qin, mustered his courage, and said, "Thank you, thank you, beautiful auntie. Canbao likes... likes rice balls!"
Sister Qin smiled from ear to ear: "Your child has such a sweet tongue."
She bent down and said, "You're welcome. If you like it, eat more. If you're still hungry, Auntie will roll another one for you."
Can Can opened his small bag, took out a lollipop, and walked over to his younger sister who was sitting in the high chair: "Sister, here you go."
His younger sister glanced at him, took the candy from him, and said, albeit in a slurred voice, "Thank you, Princess!"
Can Can shyly returned to their stall, sat down in a chair, and transformed back into a mushroom.
Wen Shuqiao was quite happy. Although it was only a small step, it was already a big step towards success!
Just as Sister Qin had predicted, people started coming out in twos and threes at 12:10. Sister Qin had been setting up her stall in this spot for a long time and had many repeat customers.
As a result, her own business improved, especially her chicken legs. After buying them from her, they would have Sister Qin wrap them in rice balls, which were fragrant and delicious.
Wen Shuqiao was initially worried that no one would come to her stall.
The spices in the braised food are strong; the aroma can travel far once the lid is lifted.
Can Can was already full, but the smell of chicken made her want to eat more chicken legs.
Wen Shuqiao picked out two small chicken drumsticks for him to share with his sister.
Having broken the ice just now, Can Can was much bolder this time. He gave the chicken leg to his sister and didn't rush back. Instead, he stood next to his sister's chair and ate the chicken leg with her.
He was already good-looking, and as soon as he started eating, some older women started eyeing him.
"What an adorable baby!"
"Little friend, how old are you?"
"Is the chicken leg delicious?"
Can Can had never experienced anything like this before, and was so frightened that she immediately ran back, standing close to Wen Shu Qiao's leg and watching them warily.
I was terrified they would steal me away!
The system replied: "These aunties simply think you're cute; they won't steal you away."
Chan-bo doesn't believe Sze-tung's lies!
Wen Shuqiao chuckled lightly, ignored him, and continued packing braised dishes for customers.
Can Can became a little bolder when he was next to Wen Shuqiao. He looked timidly at the pretty aunties and started gnawing on a chicken leg again.
System: ...I'm really afraid of not being able to do both cooking and cleaning.
