Chapter 187 “Is This Free to Watch? The Thirty-Six Strategies for Capturing n!”
“WTF! Boss Lu is back from the dead!”
“Boss Lu is finally back? If he didn’t return soon, I was going to report him missing!”
“Missing person returned!”
“Rashimah! Our chef is back!”
“What? Boss Lu is back? Then I’ve just been reincarnated!”
“Reincarnated as a hungry ghost?”
“Emaciated, weak, starving, cold and hungry, waiting to be fed, enduring hunger, suffering…”
“My goddess said if she doesn’t get her Osmanthus Oolong milk tea, she’ll break up! Tomorrow is the deadline! Thank goodness, Boss Lu, you’re finally back!”
“You’re the only clingy dog I don’t mind! Your goddess has good taste!”
…
Lu Qin was used to the fast-scrolling group ssages and edited a group announcent to send.
[Tomorrow’s morning stall at 8 AM by Sunshine Elentary School, food types: fried rice noodles, ice crystal cake, crystal shrimp dumplings, mung bean paste, pickled vegetables. New food: Bosi oil cake.].
Once the announcent was sent, the group erupted.
[Bosi oil cake? What’s that? Never heard of it!].
[Bosi oil cake? Sounds delicious just by the na! Can’t wait!].
[Anything made by Boss Lu is sure to be tasty!].
[Will you serve Bosi pot cover cake?].
[Bosi oil cake, not spicy, tried it two years ago in Sichuan, at 27 Shu Wei Pavilion, eight pieces for 288. Tasted decent, but expensive!].
[I’m going to line up overnight at 11 PM, who’s up for a duo queue?].
[Crazy! It’s going to kill us!].
[I’m going to line up at 7:30 AM! Half an hour early.].
[Newbie, 7:30 will only get you pickled vegetables!].
[I’ll go at 6 AM, damn, even catching a flight isn’t this rushed!].
[Last ti I woke up early was for the college entrance exam, impressive!].
Lu Qin pickled ten jars of vegetables, took a shower, and comfortably lay in bed.
Current system points: 2113.
Before going to sleep, he decided to use two advanced draws.
[Spent 1000 points, advanced draw received: 20 boxes of digestive tablets.].
[Spent 1000 points, advanced draw received: Attribute points: Charisma 1.].
Charisma 1?
Lu Qin took a selfie without any beauty filters. He looked at it carefully—his features hadn’t changed much, but sohow, he seed more pleasing to the eye. It wasn’t vanity, he just couldn’t help but want to look at it again.
Looks like the charisma attribute isn’t a joke.
Just as he was about to sleep, the rich woman sent a ssage. He opened it. Lu Qin widened his eyes and took two deep breaths.
A photo of her beautiful legs!
It was easy to tell it was the rich woman’s.
Under a black Valentino skirt, a pair of smooth, straight legs in high-gloss black stockings—enough to stir one’s blood.
Is this free to watch?
Was this really a test for a leader?
Lu Qin stared blankly at the phone for a minute before regaining his composure. This wasn’t the rich woman’s style; it was a little too far from her usual cold, CEO persona.
Lu Qin was about to send a question mark when he noticed the photo had been retracted.
[Shen Muyan’s cold tone: Sent it to the wrong person, pretend you didn’t see it.].
[Who were you sending it to?].
[No one, I’m going to sleep.].
“…”
…
At the villa, Shen Muyan removed the black stockings, her face burning with embarrassnt. She tossed her phone aside and buried her face in the pillow. The dog-headed military strategist Fang Ya’s plan, one of the thirty-six strategies for capturing n.
Research showed that over 80% of n first focus on a woman’s legs. No man can resist the allure of sexy legs, and if there’s more, add black stockings. So, Shen Muyan went through several pairs of stockings before picking the most seductive one.
After successfully tempting Boss Lu for a minute, she quickly retracted the photo. Then she covered it up by saying, “Sent it to the wrong person,” leaving Boss Lu to think for herself.
Five minutes later, Shen Muyan suddenly realized a problem. What if Boss Lu misunderstood?
She thought for a mont, took out her phone, and sent another ssage.
[It’s a new product from a friend’s company. They asked to try it out.].
[Lu Qin: Oh.].
Shen Muyan froze.
That was it? Just “Oh”?
A few seconds later, Lu Qin sent another ssage.
[Actually… I can help with the reference if needed.].
[Nice try.]
Shen Muyan scoffed, her face turning red, as she applied a face mask and went to bed.
On the other end, Lu Qin couldn’t fall asleep. Every ti he closed his eyes, he saw stockings. It took him ten minutes of chanting the calming mantra to finally calm his mind.
…
The next morning, at 4 AM, Xiao Mi arrived on her tricycle. Lu Qin had given her a key. She went straight to the kitchen, cooked mung bean paste, soaked rice noodles, washed and chopped vegetables, and prepared the filling. Everything was quiet and orderly, not disturbing the father and daughter’s rest.
At 5:30 AM, Lu Qin got up. Xiao Mi had everything ready, waiting for the chef to take over.
“Morning, boss.”
“Morning, Xiao Mi. Once I finish kneading the dough, let it rise and you can start wrapping the shrimp dumplings. I’m heading to the market for so ingredients; we’re launching the Bosi oil cake today.”
“Got it, boss.”
Lu Qin drove to the nearest farr’s market, buying 30 kilos of flour, 10 kilos of pork lard, 3 kilos of red dates, and a jar of rose honey. Back ho, Lu Qin stead the ice crystal cake first, then rendered the lard.
“Xiao Mi, turn the 3 kilos of red dates into date paste. Rember to cook it on low heat, stirring often to avoid sticking to the pan. No need to add sugar, these dates are sweet enough.”
“Understood, boss.”
The Bosi oil cakes were made last. The dough puffs opened like spider webs in hot oil, then were pulled out and set aside to cool before packaging.
Packaging was tricky, as they were delicate and could crumble easily.
Lu Qin had Xiao Mi pack slowly and went to wake up the little one. Lu Qin opened the kitchen door, and the sll of rendered lard wafted into the room, imdiately waking the little one.
“Wow~! Slls so good~!”
Lu Qin pinched the little one’s nose, and in a few seconds, she was fully awake.
“Daddy, is there pork cracklings?”
The little one loved eating pork cracklings, especially when sprinkled with sugar—it was crispy and delicious.
“Yes, I’ll pack you a box to take to kindergarten as a snack.”
“Yay~! Daddy is the best~! Muah~!”
The little one planted a kiss on Lu Qin’s face and ran off to wash up. After breakfast, Lu Qin took the little one to kindergarten, while Xiao Mi stayed ho to wash the dishes and pack up the goods before heading out to set up the stall.
It was a bit of a traffic jam on Monday morning, but after dropping the little one off at kindergarten, Lu Qin drove to Sunshine Elentary School.
Xiao Mi had just arrived at the battlefield. A long line of people stretched from the street corner to the traffic light, twice the usual crowd, about 120 people.
More custors were on the way, as not everyone could wake up early. This terrifying scene startled many passersby. No other stalls were left in front of Sunshine Elentary School; with Lu Qin’s food stall there, no one else was making money.
There was only one stubborn bun shop still open, as not everyone managed to get food from Lu Qin’s stall.
