Chapter 32



Lu Wan was new to the idea, so after wearing the bracelet for two classes, she felt uncomfortable and took it off.

It's really inconvenient to do homework with so many things in your hands.

She put the bracelet away carefully and sent a WeChat message to Lu Buyu.

【Thanks】

The other party replied immediately and sent a row of bomb emojis.

A few seconds later, another row of emoticons of little people being blown black were posted.

Lu Wan:? ? ?

Haha, this guy still deserves a beating.

After the monthly exam, the atmosphere in school became relaxed.

This Wednesday's club day was more lively than usual.

The school’s art festival is next week and all the major clubs are making preparations.

On the day of the art festival, there will be exhibitions and stalls selling goods during the day, and a gala in the evening.

This is an annual event that students look forward to.

In order to come out on top, all the major clubs started preparing two months in advance.

Lu Wan pushed the door open and walked in. Several members of the skateboarding club were ordering the menu.

Just as they proposed last time, they set up a stall to sell sushi on the day of the art festival.

Although it’s not creative, it’s easy to use.

Harry yawned and said uninterestedly, "I don't think it's a good idea. As far as I know, there are three clubs that sell sushi. The competition is too fierce. You can't rely on Mr. Lu and Su Rao to sell their sex appeal to attract customers. You might as well sell them handshake tickets."

Sushi is easy to make, but it is a bit difficult to make it taste outstanding.

As for the finished products of their club, at best, they are not difficult to swallow.

Lu Wan hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Can we sell anything? The money we earned that day, can we keep it for ourselves and don't have to hand it in?"

"Of course you don't have to hand it in. Do you have any good suggestions?" President Tang Tang scratched his head.

When Lu Wan heard that he could keep the money he earned for himself, he immediately became interested.

"Since sushi is so common, why don't we try something less common?"

Victoria Song said: "I've thought about it, but I can't find anything suitable. How about selling the butter cookies?"

Lu Wan: "No, this is still too common. I think... I can set up a stall to sell sugar paintings. This is fun."

The members looked over one after another. Sugar painting? What is this?

Victoria Song responded quickly: "Oh, I know this. I have taken relevant courses."

The others looked at each other, and finally turned to Baidu for help, and finally figured out what sugar painting is.

It doesn't look too difficult.

All you need is a small pot with sugar constantly heated and a spoon.

Use a small spoon to scoop up the heated sugar juice and paint on the oiled marble or stainless steel board. Finally, wait for it to cool and set, then stick a wooden stick on it and use a small spatula to scoop it up and it's done.

The people in the popular science video perform their operations smoothly.

But it is obviously a series that "you can learn it once you see it, but it will be useless once you make it"!

Tang Tang: "Let's find some students with a background in art to practice with. It's quite refreshing."

Xu Yao snapped his fingers and said, "No need, Mr. Lu will teach you how to paint with sugar!"

Lu Wan's adoptive mother would set up a stall to sell sugar paintings around the Spring Festival, and her business was booming.

Sometimes she would go and help out.

Lu Wan can only make simple animals, people's names, flowers and plants.

Her adoptive mother, who was not well educated, could make intricate phoenixes, flying dragons, and three-dimensional sugar-painted flower baskets...

But most children only buy sugar paintings around the Spring Festival, and her adoptive mother usually sells other things.

Lu Wan's adoptive mother can cook a lot of things and set up a stall all year round. There are not many migrant workers in this small county town, so she needs to have good taste and repeat customers to make money.

The woman was willing to endure hardships and originally wanted to save money to buy a son...but her husband's prostitution was too expensive, so she was unable to fulfill her wish.

Victoria Song: "Boss Lu, you are too strong."

Xu Yao: "Drawing sugar with a spoon is nothing. Ms. Lu is a good cook. She can flip the spoon and dance while grilling meat..."

"Shut up, that's enough." Lu Wan interrupted the other party.

Why the hell are you digging up my dark history!

Xu Yao shrugged his shoulders. It was a pity that Lu Wan seldom cooked a proper meal, saying that it was time-consuming, and he often just settled for an egg fried rice.

Harry got the point: "What's dancing while grilling?"

Lu Wan: “It’s nothing.”

I don't know why, but for a while it suddenly became popular for shop owners to interact with customers. Whether they were making ramen or cooking, they would dance while working to attract customers.

When the barbecue restaurant owner proposed it, Lu Wan refused. Isn't this too unsophisticated?

If her classmates saw it, would she still have her face?

Even increasing her salary by half is not acceptable. She has a bottom line!

The owner of the barbecue restaurant tripled the salary. Lu Wan happily put on sunglasses and started standing at the door with a few colleagues, dancing and grilling meat...

She has outstanding looks and a good figure, and her movements are very rhythmic, which has attracted quite a few customers.

The boss’s salary is not paid in vain.

A young man who had fought with Lu Wan in the past and was later sent to a juvenile detention center for theft, on the first day of his release from prison, saw that Lu Wan, who had fought very well with them in the past, had become a spirited young man.

I immediately began to question this world.

It's been just over two years, and even the school bully has become like this?

The young man gave up his plan to go back to his old job, and at the same time, he saved the batteries of all the electric vehicles on the street, and decided to learn a real skill.

Not to fall into...

After a brief discussion on Lu Wan's proposal, everyone else agreed.

"I'm OK."

"It's definitely going to be a big win this time."

"Mr. Lu, take us flying."

Coming out of the skateboard club, Lu Wan said with a smile, "I'm going to make a fortune this time. I'm going to sell sugar paintings for 25 each. If I can sell 300, that's 7,000 to 8,000."

The cost is very low and it is basically pure profit.

More than ten years ago, her adoptive mother sold sugar paintings for only two yuan each, but the price rose to 15 last year.

At this art festival, other clubs sold the simplest sushi for 15 yuan per portion. Comparing the prices horizontally, Lu Wan felt that his pricing was appropriate.

Xu Yao: "Uh... Aren't you rich now? Why are you still thinking about making money?"

Lu Wan: "No matter how rich you are, it won't affect my ability to make money, right? By the way, you can sell the candies at five yuan each."

The materials used in sugar painting are the same as those used in stirring sugar, the main ingredient being maltose.

After it’s done, put it in a small bucket and sprinkle a lot of sesame seeds in it. It tastes delicious.

When selling, they are picked up with two long bamboo sticks and then mixed into a ball, which is a bit like a lollipop. When Lu Wan was a child, it only sold for a few cents. Last year, there were occasional people selling it near the school. After the price was raised to two yuan, business was very good.

In fact, the taste is very ordinary, and it does not meet the healthy needs of modern people for low sugar intake. However, those who have never seen it can enjoy it for its novelty, and those who have seen it before can enjoy it for its nostalgia.

Xu Yao: "You are such a talented person!"

The skateboard club was all impressed by how much Lu Wan knew and how much he offered advice to the club.

This guy is good, but actually his mind is full of making money and cheating people... How to be a happy profiteer.

When they reached the school gate, Xu Yao stopped and said, "You go back first. I have something else to do."

"School is over, what else do you have to do?"

Xu Yao: "I won't tell you, you will know it later."

"Then I'm leaving." Lu Wan didn't ask any more questions and waved goodbye.

"Well, actually, I like you." Seeing the person take two steps, Xu Yao suddenly couldn't help but say.

Lu Wan turned her head and asked, "Do you... have an Oedipus complex?"

Xu Yao: “…”

God damn Oedipus.

Lu Wan felt that he was like Xu Yao’s mother. She had to be his mother, not his father.

After all, that's not how a father would take care of his children.

Friends around her also joked that Lu Wan was Xu Yao's mother.

When the two of them are together, Lu Wan is the one who cooks, makes decisions, and does the work.

"Are you trying to take advantage of me? Do you want me to do everything?" Lu Wan asked.

Xu Yao: “…”

That's not the case! Damn it!

———

Xu waited until the other person's back disappeared before turning around and walking back to school.

He walked to the stadium. In the setting sun, several tall boys were running hard on the plastic track.

This is a sports team.

Xu Yao walked straight towards the coach standing next to him. After he stood still, he said straight to the point: "Coach, I want to play basketball, and I also want to practice sports."

"Have you made up your mind?" The coach looked at the student in front of him. He felt that this transfer student had good potential when he played basketball last week.

He has a good physique and physical fitness, and his academic performance is not outstanding either. He can definitely go to college by practicing sports.

However, when I proposed it, the other party refused and only said that I could join the basketball team and practice sports.

At that time, he asked Xu to think carefully for a week and then give an answer. Unexpectedly, he really changed his mind.

Xu Yao was still not as tall as Lu Wan when he graduated from junior high school. He grew three centimeters during the summer vacation before his graduation exam, and grew another ten centimeters in his first year of high school.

He was too fat when he was a child, and after he lost weight he also developed a fitness habit.

There are only six athletes in the entire high school, and they are all very outstanding. Although Xu Yao has not trained systematically, his scores in many events are higher than those of two of the other students. He has great potential.

Xu Yao: "Yes, I have thought about it."

In fact, up to now, he hasn't figured out what to do in the future, so he might as well set a goal first and see if he can achieve it.

You can't just muddle through forever.

He had looked at the map and found that Tsinghua University and Beijing Sport University were very close to each other.

They are next to each other on the map, and the actual distance is only a few kilometers, so you can reach them on foot.

——

All classes were cancelled on the day of the campus art festival.

The whole day is disposable time.

Lu Wan spent several days preparing all the tools.

These are common items and are not difficult to find.

Su Rao helped draw a turntable with various sugar paintings on it. Customers could not specify anything, so they just got what they turned to.

Someone exclaimed, and everyone turned to look.

Su Rao didn't wear school uniform today.

She wore a black velvet dress with white lace on the collar and cuffs, which made her look even sweeter and more girlish.

She had a red headband on her head and red Mary Jane shoes on her feet.

She has fair skin, a slender neck, black hair, red lips and delicate facial features.

She seemed to have her own isolation circle, and her style was different from those of the people around her.

She looks pretty enough in her school uniform, and this makes it even more attractive.

The school requires students to wear uniforms all year round, but for particularly outstanding students, they will be rewarded with "free dress days".

This prize is very attractive. After all, I can dress differently from other students and show my personality.

It was the first time that Su Rao used this privilege, and he smiled in response to every glance from those around him.

Many boys were distracted and failed to react immediately.

Girls are not immune either. After all, girls actually like to look at beautiful girls more!

Su Rao walked to Lu Wan lightly and asked with a smile: "Are you ready?"

Lu Wan: "Okay, your skirt is beautiful."

Su Rao: "How beautiful is it?"

Lu Wan thought about it and said sincerely: "Like... Snow White?"
