Go to the Seaside
Speaking of places she wanted to go, there were quite a lot of places Sun Miao wanted to go. Especially since this world was basically the same as the one before she transmigrated, with very small geographical differences, so the places she wanted to go to for fun could also be visited in this world. Sun Miao considered for a moment, and still answered: “I want to see the sea.”
She was a little embarrassed: “The places where you can see the sea, will it rain in all of them?”
Actually, this city was also by the sea, but because it was a port city and highly urbanized, it resulted in the estuary not having any good sea views, nor were there stretches of sandy beaches. Looking out from the seaside, there was none of the feeling of other coastal cities.
Of course, there was also no seafood; it all relied on being air-freighted from other places.
A coastal city, yet the feeling it gave was not at all like being by the sea.
Hearing Sun Miao’s question, Su Ruixi shook her head: “Not necessarily, some places won’t. And our country’s coastline is so long, there are also many coastal places in the north.” Su Ruixi explained to her in detail. The two of them held their phones, scrolling through apps and searching for a long time, before finally deciding on the place to go.
No rain during the plum rain season, by the sea, a famous coastal tourist city, and there’s seafood to eat. Apart from some negative news about tourism, it was simply perfect.
Both of them were people who loved good food. Just looking at the introductions, Sun Miao was already thinking about what she could make for Su Ruixi to eat, and Su Ruixi was also thinking the same thing. The thought that they could set off to have fun in two days made Su Ruixi unable to stop being happy.
Completely opposite to Sun Miao and Su Ruixi was the clamor from everyone in the group chat. Seeing that this round of stall-setting was about to end, Sun Miao announced in advance that she would not be setting up her stall during the plum rain season.
【Ah? What? The plum rain season is coming? Now that you mention it, that’s right, it’s going to be raining continuously from now on. The time I hate the most is coming! My clothes won’t even dry after washing!】
【Is your ability to grasp the main point a bit too outrageous? Is the plum rain season the important thing?! The important thing is that Little Boss Sun is not open for business for the entire plum rain season!】
【Ahhhhh Miaozi3, how can I live without you? You must take good care of yourself, ah, you know?】
【I was happily preparing to scroll through some videos, how come I saw this kind of news as soon as I came online? Help, what did I do wrong to be tortured like this? Don’t do something like this! Wuwuwu.】
【Little Boss Sun, let’s make a deal. Can you really not set up your stall during the plum rain season? Even if you just come out from time to time. How about this, if you’re worried about the rain, I have a storefront with a very good location. I’ll give it to you directly, as long as you open for business on time.】
Sun Miao looked at the messages in the group and once again lamented that this group of old customers of hers would really do anything for the sake of eating.
Sun Miao @’d the one who said they would give her the storefront: 【Really no need, thank you for your kind intentions. It’s the plum rain season, so it’s a good time for me to take a break too. Everyone, please remember to be safe when you go out during the plum rain season :)】
Sun Miao even added a smiley face symbol at the end, but everyone didn’t grasp her enthusiasm at all. Hip-hop Mei even grabbed onto her symbol and said:
【You’re still smiling? Huh? Little Boss Sun, you’re still smiling? Seeing us wailing here, are you very happy?】
At this moment, Sun Miao understood that everyone was currently at the height of their anger, and whatever she said would be wrong. So she closed the group chat and pretended she didn’t see it.
The consequence of doing this was that when she went to sell yangyu potato cake, her stall was surrounded again. As usual, Hip-hop Mei was charging at the very front, pulling on Sun Miao’s little cart and crying right there: “Wuwuwu, Little Boss Sun, how could you do this? Are you going to abandon us to go travel, to live a world for two, to go on a honeymoon?”
Her wailing was particularly loud, so much so that neither Sun Miao nor Yabi Mei had a chance to stop her, which also led to the surrounding customers having heads full of question marks: “Little Boss Sun is married?”
Yabi Mei kicked Hip-hop Mei, and then calmly explained: “No.”
Yabi Mei was really fed up with Hip-hop Mei. Every time Sun Miao was coming out of the closet, it was exposed by Hip-hop Mei. It was her before, too, who directly revealed the truth about Su Ruixi. Of course, it didn’t matter too much on Su Ruixi’s side; she had done a good deed by a strange combination of circumstances, and it had instead promoted the process and brought the two of them together.
What was going on now? Directly revealing the truth to the old and new customers face-to-face. If Yabi Mei were Sun Miao, she would already be planning to skin Hip-hop Mei and pull out her tendons. But Sun Miao was quite calm and didn’t say she would blacklist Hip-hop Mei.
After being kicked by Yabi Mei, Hip-hop Mei also behaved. Her eyes were full of fear and trepidation. She carefully glanced at Sun Miao, and only when she saw that Sun Miao was exceptionally calm did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Everyone also understood that it was just a young couple going out to have fun. They couldn’t help but lament which young lad was so lucky to be able to bring Little Boss Sun home. There was also an older auntie over there saying: “Aiyo, if I had known earlier that Little Boss Sun was still lacking a boyfriend, I would have introduced my own good-for-nothing boy to Little Boss Sun!”
Sun Miao was silent for a moment. Actually, it would be fine if she just tacitly agreed here. But Sun Miao thought of how Su Ruixi was completely unafraid, coming out to her own assistant, live-in auntie, and even her parents at home. She pursed her lips and also spoke directly: “Not a boyfriend.”
“It’s a girlfriend.”
The old customers fell into a silence. In the end, it’s unknown who said it: “A girlfriend is a girlfriend, hurry up, I’m going to be late for work this morning!” Sun Miao did remember this voice; it was Tong Yuwei. The little girl who spoke in the style of Lin-meimei4 was not mincing her words this time. With one shout from her, everyone no longer cared whether Sun Miao had a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
How could that be more important than eating?
Seeing that everyone’s attention had returned to the matter of eating breakfast, Sun Miao couldn’t help but sigh in her heart: As expected of an international metropolis, their thinking is so open, ha.
Hip-hop Mei also truly put her heart back in her stomach. She carefully thanked Sun Miao, and then like a puppy that had done something wrong, with her invisible tail drooping and tucked tightly, she pulled Yabi Mei and quickly ran away.
When Tong Yuwei came to the front, Sun Miao even whispered a thank you. Who knew that Tong Yuwei would revert to her Lin-meimei persona again: “Sigh, originally I was thinking that what jiejie has, I must also have. But who knew, that jiejie is truly special to the boss.” After saying this, before Sun Miao could even react, the topic turned: “Give me two yangyu potato cake, not spicy, add some sweet bean sauce, to go.”
While Sun Miao was preparing it for her, Tong Yuwei even asked in a low voice: “During the rainy plum season, you’re really not setting up the stall for even a single day?”
“Ah, yes.”
Tong Yuwei left as if she had lost all hope in life.
The customers who came after would also all ask this same question. Originally, this was only known to the old customers in the group chat. Now, what a fine mess, the researchers lining up also all knew about this matter. At first, they hadn’t figured out the situation, but listening to the old customers talk, they knew that they had a small private group, and Sun Miao would post notifications about things in there.
Now how could they let Sun Miao go? They directly took out their phones and joined the group chat one by one.
The number of people in the group grew again. Sun Miao took a moment to look. The new customers from these past few days, plus the friends brought in by the old customers, the group’s member count had already crossed the 400 mark and was heading for 500. She estimated that by the time she came back and set up a stall again, she would have to open a second group.
The researchers were also worried about not having food to eat. Fortunately, the cafeteria was being rectified and the contractor was changed. Moreover, so many small stalls had appeared at the entrance of the research institute. Even though their favorite was still Sun Miao’s yangyu potato cake, at least they could manage not to starve themselves before Sun Miao returned.
However, Sun Miao gave them a head-on blow: “It’s not that I won’t set up the stall during the plum rain season. I probably won’t be setting up the stall here anymore after this. I plan to change locations to set up my stall later.”
“Ah? Why is that?”
The moment this question was asked, some old customers smugly explained: “It’s like this, our Little Boss Sun is rather willful and often changes places to set up her stall. For example, she’s here today, but next week she might go somewhere else. It’s generally a 7-day cycle, and for the next cycle, she will appear in another place, selling something else.”
Well now, this news was even more difficult for the researchers to accept. Not only would she not be setting up her stall at their company’s entrance, but she wouldn’t even be selling yangyu potato cake anymore. These researchers, who were usually a bit socially anxious, immediately raised their doubts: “But why? The yangyu potato cake is so delicious, why stop selling it?”
These questions really didn’t need Sun Miao’s answers anymore; the old customers would naturally reply: “Of course, it’s because the other things are also very delicious.”
Zhou Ling’s mother’s little sister was also among them. She was over there saying: “What’s so good about yangyu potato cake? I’d say my Little Boss Sun’s Huaiyang Crab Roe Lion’s Head is the absolute best. Even a price of 588 is not worthy of Little Boss Sun’s skill; it’s too delicious. It’s just a pity that it was limited, and you couldn’t even eat it every day during those few days. The Jiaxing meat zongzi later on was also good, but I still think the Crab Roe Lion’s Head was the best.”
The old customers also fell silent, because the Crab Roe Lion’s Head was too expensive, and many people really hadn’t eaten it. Thinking about it now, it was nothing but regret. Everyone was a working adult; how could they possibly not be able to afford 588? And there was also the trick of splitting the order. Before, the Cat Master and the Lemon Tea Boss were showing off in the group. The two of them split an order, and although the Lemon Tea Boss paid for it all, because it was split with someone else, it wasn’t unacceptable.
588 divided by 2 is 294. Everyone could afford this price. Although it hurt a little, that was Crab Roe Lion’s Head made by Little Boss Sun! If you still thought it was expensive, then find two more people. Divided by 4 is 147. Whoa, rounding up or down5, that’s basically a free giveaway!
It wouldn’t be like now, just listening to others talk about how it tasted, while they themselves could only drool over there!
Damn it, if there’s a next time, they definitely can’t miss the Crab Roe Lion’s Head!
The researchers were even more surprised that Sun Miao actually had such skills. Wait, if she can make a 588-yuan portion of Crab Roe Lion’s Head, why is she still here selling yangyu potato cake? They were more baffled than the last, but amidst the discussions of the old customers, they became incomparably expectant for the delicious food that would be sold next time.
The old customers left, and the sound of discussion also ceased. The researchers behind them didn’t know that Sun Miao would also sell other things, nor did they know that after this time, she would no longer set up her stall here.
Among them, was also Shen Yiqiu.
