Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 162 A Customer Comes

Su Wanwan and the other person hid at the back, silently watching Lan Ying and the other person taking turns to fight.

It is indeed farther from Baihua Village to the town than from their village, but the actual journey is not as far as expected.

Just after mid-afternoon, the two people in blue had arrived at the center of the town. They found a relatively quiet but still busy corner in a crowded street. They spread out three large aluminum basins in the narrow space between one of the buildings and the street.

The two men moved quickly and skillfully. "This might be their regular selling location in town," Xu Yan whispered in Su Wanwan's ear.

Su Wanwan recalled that in the past, when she passed by this place while selling pork, she had never met Lan Ying and the other person here.

After the arrangement was completed, the tired Lan Ying took out the kettle and drank water one gulp after another. At this time, the girl next to her was not as cheerful as her. She looked around cautiously, forcing Su Wanwan and Xu Yan to hide behind a building a little further away and watch secretly.

"I think our luck today may not be very good. I feel like there are invisible eyes following us," the girl whispered, expressing her concerns.

Lan Ying responded calmly, "I'm overthinking it. No one has followed us so many times. Didn't we check carefully before we set out? If someone was really watching us, they would have come and taken us away long ago."

In just one minute, Lan Ying completed everything from greeting customers to selling the first batch of braised meat.

Witnessing the transaction in their hands, Su Wanwan secretly chewed the corner of her lips. The price of the braised pork was much higher than she expected. Surprisingly, their business was extremely prosperous. As soon as they sat down, customers came in one after another.

The three pots of braised meat were quickly sold out, leaving only one empty pot. The girl next to him whispered softly, "You're right, but I still feel upset."

"Don't think too much. I just think that you and your child have been separated for too long, and the longing for him occupies too large a place in your heart." Lan Ying said as she continued to measure the meat in the basin and pack it into bags.

However, Lan Ying continued to add: "You also understand that without this extra income, my son would not even be able to drink nutritious milk powder." These words seemed to touch someone's heartstrings, and the other girl fell silent instantly. Obviously, Lan Ying was the leader of the business, and Wang E and other young people who might have participated but were not visible all listened to her command.

Although she was curious and puzzled as to how someone like Lan Ying, who seemed to have average abilities, could lead a team to engage in such business, Su Wanwan still held back from asking questions. She hid quietly aside with Xu Yan, watching them sell out the braised meat that they had worked so hard to move in less than half an hour, and then pack up and return.

"I really regret not doing this in the first place. Look, I can make so much money!" Su Wanwan murmured in a low voice as she watched the two people leaving.

Just from what she saw just now, the Lan Ying sisters collected almost twice as much money as the same amount of pork. Moreover, sometimes when customers stood between them and Xu Yan, the Lan Ying sisters would continue to collect money. As for the specific amount of income today, Su Wanwan only had a rough estimate in her heart.

“I’ve had that thought before.”

This was originally just a casual complaint, but she didn't expect Xu Yan, who was listening carefully at the side, to slightly turn his head and look at her with a focused look.

"What?" Su Wanwan looked at the ground in confusion. After a while, she finally understood what Xu Yan meant. Suddenly, she remembered the situation of the Xu family. It might be difficult for Xu Yan to run a braised food stall in such an environment.

First of all, the two rooms were already crowded with people and it was difficult to handle. In addition, Old Man Xu and his brothers and sisters were all thinking about their own interests. Who wouldn't want others to make mistakes? Especially Xu Yan's second sister Xu Mei, it was as if her thoughts were engraved on her face. In such a situation, it was simply a fantasy for Xu Yan to open a braised food stall quietly as usual.

"I mean, after that incident, I thought about finding a secluded place to open a business together. Just like we discussed before." As if sensing Su Wanwan's doubts, Xu Yan responded in a calm tone.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Suddenly, Su Wanwan felt that she might have missed an opportunity.

"Making braised dishes is really dirty and hard. If someone finds out, it will be bad for your reputation. This is not the 'clean money' we should be pursuing." Lan Ying and the other person in front had turned the tricycle around and returned to the direction of Baihua Village. They were going so fast that they soon disappeared at the end of their sight.

As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, Su Wanwan and he walked silently towards the place where the bicycles were stored. It was the prime time in the afternoon, and since Lan Ying didn't have to carry three large basins of heavy objects, her speed naturally increased significantly. She even had to muster up some strength to keep up with him.

"What's the harm in suffering a little? It's free money, right?"

Su Wanwan said this, but she secretly regretted it in her heart. As someone who had truly experienced hunger, she never turned away any job that was within the legal boundary and could make money. However, Xu Yan seemed to have seen through this, "There will be many opportunities to make money in the future, there is no need to be so anxious."

Xu Yan's voice was calm, but there was a hint of tenderness in it, which made her heart beat inexplicably.

"We still have countless possibilities to strive for, so there is no need to worry about this." This sentence seemed to soothe her impatient mood and remind her to stay rational. Indeed, the current difficulties are not the end.

As expected, Lan Ying returned to the village smoothly before sunset, and had plenty of time. After they quietly returned the car keys to the canteen, they walked towards the entrance of the clinic and ran into Lan Ying, who was about to finish work and return to the clinic.

"Where have you been?"

If the onlookers didn't know the whole picture, they might have thought that they had been out for a while, and then saw Lan Ying waiting for them at the clinic, waiting for their return.

"The air quality here is pretty good, so we took a few more turns."

Wanwan responded to Lan Ying in a calm tone, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Really? You just walked around a few times, how come you are so tired?" Standing on the slightly higher stairs of the infirmary, Lan Ying looked down at Wan Wan who was not far away. Because the two of them rode back at a fast speed, Wan Wan and her friends did jog for a while after returning the bicycles to catch up with the team.

At this time, there was indeed a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"If you walk for a long time, you will naturally breathe heavily and sweat a little." Wanwan wiped her forehead calmly and frankly, not afraid that Lan Ying would notice.

After all, their experience of selling braised pork in danger in the morning was nerve-wracking. Even for someone as experienced as Lan Ying, it was still a very challenging task. She might still be feeling a bit upset at the moment, so she asked aggressively.
