Live Streaming Food Stall… But in Dog-Blooded Novels – CH76

Chapter 76

Savoring the delicious roast duck roll in his mouth, Wu Weiguo couldn’t be happier.

Such delicious roast duck!

Before, when Master Mu went to Zhu Yuan to eat roast duck, he had packed half a duck for Wu Weiguo, and at that time, Wu Weiguo had been amazed. But compared to the roast duck in front of him now, all other ducks in the world seemed inferior.

As Wu Weiguo chewed, he thought about the roast duck in the oven and touched his wallet, making a decision: “This delicious roast duck should be taken home for my wife and daughter to try.”

“Would you like to take one to go?” The little boy smiled brightly at Wu Weiguo and nodded. “Would you like the whole duck or should I cut it—”

Before he could finish speaking, a graceful voice interrupted: “Little Boss Xiao Lan, how many roast ducks do you have left?”

Wu Weiguo and Xiao He both froze.

Following the voice, they saw Xu Shishi, her chin held high, large diamond earrings gleaming, exuding the aura of a young lady.

…If you ignored the fact that she had just eaten an entire roast duck by hand and was still holding the bones, occasionally licking them.

Xiao Lan, also a little stunned, answered, “Seventeen ducks.”

Xu Shishi had bought one, Wu Weiguo and Xiao He shared one, and Wu Weiguo packed one.

So, there were still seventeen ducks left. They should last for another one or two hours.

The little boy’s eyes sparkled, his cheeks rosy. The past twenty minutes of running the stall were just a warm-up; the main event was yet to come.

However, the next moment—

Xu Shishi boldly pushed up her sunglasses and slightly curled her lips: “Alright, I’ll take them all.”

Xiao Lan: “Huh?”

Wu Weiguo and Xiao He: “Huh???”

Not far away, squatting in the corner with drool dripping, yet hesitating whether to risk exposing his identity to buy roast duck, Ye Qingquan: “…Huh?????”

Ye Qingquan felt his vision go dark.

Seventeen ducks. Seventeen roast ducks. He had originally thought he could hesitate for another half hour, but before he knew it, the ducks were all gone in the blink of an eye.

Hesitation leads to failure!

Seeing everyone’s stunned expressions, Xu Shishi raised an eyebrow: “What’s wrong? Is there a problem? Xiao Lan didn’t say anything about a limit on purchases.”

As soon as she finished speaking, fearing that Xiao Lan might back out, Xu Shishi quickly scanned the code and transferred the payment.

“Ding! Alipay received 17,000 yuan!”

“…”

Xiao Lan couldn’t help but grind his teeth.

I forgot to mention the limit on purchases!

It was too late to change his mind now.

The little boy supported himself on the edge of the cart, stretched out his small arm, and helplessly started lifting the roast ducks.

He first handed over the one Wu Weiguo wanted to pack, then began counting the remaining ducks one by one for Xu Shishi: “One, two, three…”

He had Xiao He help transport the roast ducks into the Lamborghini convertible, and as the car gradually filled with ducks, Xu Shishi’s eyes sparkled with endless joy.

As a qualified and wealthy foodie, Xu Shishi had a very clear understanding of the deliciousness of roast duck.

Let’s not even talk about how young (strikethrough) capable Xiao Lan looks; who knows if he will even set up a stall tomorrow? What if Xiao Lan gets delayed by kindergarten or school and stops coming to sell ducks?

The remaining seventeen roast ducks will be her source of happiness for the next month.

She could eat half a duck every day, and freeze the rest in the highest quality fridge to thaw when needed…

Happiness!

Wu Weiguo stared at Xu Shishi in a daze.

Xu Shishi glanced at him and meaningfully looked at the roast duck Wu Weiguo was holding in his arms: “Mr. Wu, I have an idea. How about I offer 1,000 yuan for this roast duck, can we—”

Even though she already had seventeen, more is always better.

Crap, she’s coming for me.

Wu Weiguo’s heart sank. He tightly hugged the roast duck and shrank away from Xu Shishi’s bold gaze.

…From an outsider’s perspective, it looked like a rich young lady was teasing an innocent, good man.

Before Xu Shishi could use her even more powerful financial charms, Wu Weiguo quickly bolted.

“No, no, I have to take this roast duck back to my wife and daughter. I have something to do, I’ll leave now!”

Xu Shishi regretfully watched his back.

She sighed in frustration.

Forget it.

Although one duck slipped through the cracks, the remaining seventeen ducks were all hers!

A proud smile appeared on Xu Shishi’s face as she climbed into the Lamborghini driver’s seat and stepped on the gas. The wind blew through her big wavy hair, carrying the rich aroma of the seventeen roast ducks piled together to the streets and alleys…

Passersby cast envious glances at her.

Especially the group of tourists who had passed by Zhu Yuan earlier and smelled the roast duck aroma.

Smelling the familiar scent, they looked up and couldn’t help but start counting the roast ducks in the car:

“One, two, three, four… Wow, there must be at least a dozen roast ducks!”

“Zhu Yuan website lists them at 3,999 yuan each, so many of them must cost tens of thousands… I can’t even imagine the happiness of the rich, boohoo.”

“I’m going to compete with these rich young ladies!!!”

*

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Having completed his goal of closing the stall after twenty minutes, Xiao Lan wasn’t very happy. After all, his purpose in setting up the stall was never to make money; setting up the stall itself was his goal.

He didn’t rely on this to make money, and when he returned home later, he would donate the money.

…but now, he hadn’t even had enough fun running the stall, and it was already over?!

Starting tomorrow, he would definitely impose a purchase limit.

The little boy dejectedly started packing up the stall and then rode his tricycle back home.

Across the street, at Zhu Yuan private restaurant.

The head waiter, Lao Hu, had just finished serving top-tier VIP customers. He bowed and ushered them into the private room, his face full of smiles: “Mr. Mu, Mr. Huo, if you need anything, just call me.”

Before him were two exceptionally handsome men, not only in appearance but also in temperament, both standing out remarkably.

One had bold red hair, with a beauty mark near his lips, his eyes and brows were strikingly beautiful, like a vibrant flower blooming under the scorching sun, dazzling and full of life.

The other man appeared more composed, dressed in a well-tailored suit, with a high nose bridge and a proud demeanor, wearing a black obsidian earring on his ear.

The two of them looked incredibly well-matched together.

After all, they were the heirs of the top aristocratic families in Beijing, the Mu family and the Huo family.

Mu Mingqiu casually crossed his legs, his striking red hair fluttering in the wind. The afternoon sun made his skin appear even fairer, his smile radiant.

He looked at his phone, grinning ear to ear, and exaggeratedly read aloud to Huo Ye:

“Social media says that the young master of the Huo family has an illegitimate child overseas, three and a half years old, hahahahaha, it sounds so real.”

Huo Ye’s gaze was indifferent.

“It’s just fabricated by unscrupulous marketing accounts.”

The air grew somewhat silent.

Lao Hu, standing nearby, felt awkward and wiped his sweat.

“Uh, gentlemen, is there anything else you’d like to add to your order?”

Huo Ye folded his hands and calmly replied, “Nothing for now.”

Lao Hu nodded. “Got it.”

He was about to turn and leave when another voice called out: “Wait.”

“Master Mu,” Lao Hu quickly turned around. “Is there anything you need?”

Mu Mingqiu pushed his bangs behind his ear and said to Lao Hu, “Bring us a roast duck.”

Huo Ye frowned slightly, looking somewhat surprised.

But he didn’t say anything.

Mu Mingqiu glanced at him and casually explained, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had roast duck, thought I’d give it a try.”

“They’re making it today, and it smells pretty good, different from the usual.”

As Mu Mingqiu spoke, Huo Ye also noticed a faint scent of roast duck in the air.

It did indeed smell different from the usual roast duck at Zhu Yuan.

Huo Ye nodded and his tone softened. “If you want it, let them prepare it.”

Lao Hu was momentarily stunned but then immediately beamed with a smile. “Of course, Master Mu wants roast duck, we’ll get it for you right away!”

Lao Hu left with a pleased expression.

Mu Mingqiu and Huo Ye were both VIP customers at Zhu Yuan, spending eight figures annually. Mu Mingqiu, in particular, came almost every week.

Both Mu Mingqiu and Huo Ye liked most of the dishes at Zhu Yuan, having ordered them multiple times. But the restaurant’s pride, the roast duck, had never really impressed them, especially Mu Mingqiu and Huo Ye.

Especially Huo Ye.

Huo Ye appeared aloof and was difficult to please. Two years ago, he had ordered roast duck once, took a bite, and frowned, even refusing to swallow it. The entire duck, worth 4,000 yuan, was thrown into the trash.

Whenever Mu Mingqiu and Huo Ye visited Zhu Yuan, they usually didn’t order the roast duck, but today they had suddenly changed their minds.

“I need to remind the chef to do a great job today, to showcase their best skills,” Lao Hu muttered to himself. “The roast duck has to satisfy the two gentlemen…”

At that moment, Lao Hu paused in his tracks.

Mu Mingqiu had just said, “This roast duck smells pretty good today.”

But the last batch of roast duck at Zhu Yuan had been served to Miss Xu Shishi an hour ago. Zhu Yuan looked old-fashioned, but it had the best air filtration system, so the smell of the duck from an hour ago would have dissipated by now.

Where, then, was the roast duck smell that Master Mu had detected coming from…?

Could it be—

Lao Hu glanced across the street.

But quickly, he dismissed the thought.

How could that be?

Across the street, the little boy had already packed up and was riding his tricycle, looking dejected as he left.

Lao Hu looked at his watch. “It’s not even been half an hour. How could he not take it?”

He had expected the boy to set up his stall for half an hour, sell no roast ducks, and then leave in tears.

It seemed like he had overestimated the boy.

He couldn’t even last half an hour.

Of course, it wasn’t his fault.

After all, the boy was only three years old—what did he know about roast ducks? And his opponent was the famous Zhu Yuan, so it wasn’t surprising he lost…

Lao Hu hummed a tune as he headed to the kitchen.

On the street.

Seeing the little boy riding back on his tricycle, many passersby had the same thoughts as Lao Hu.

Just twenty minutes ago, they had seen the little boy happily heading out to set up his stall.

Now, not long after, the little boy seemed like a different person, with his head drooping, his round eyes full of mist, and his snow-white face puffed out, looking listless.

Sure enough, the reality of street vending was too harsh for a three-year-old!

Kind-hearted adults started comforting him:

“Don’t be sad, little one, it’s always like this at the beginning.”

“Why don’t you try again next time? You might sell something!”

“Yes, yes, it’s completely normal to not sell anything. You should go back and have your parents help, maybe tell your classmates’ parents about it…”

“Yes, try again tomorrow!”

The little boy gave a disappointed smile.

“Thank you, uncle and aunt,” the little boy stopped his tricycle and replied, “I’m sad because the roast duck sold too quickly. I didn’t get enough time to set up my stall.”

Passersby: “?”

What kind of humblebrag is this?

This kid is just putting on a front, right?

At that moment, it was lunchtime, and Aunt Wang from the small convenience store on the roadside, holding a bowl of white rice, was the closest to the tricycle. Hearing the boy’s words, she skeptically glanced at the roast oven.

Wow.

The oven, which had been completely full not long ago, was now indeed empty!

“…How could that be?” Aunt Wang murmured to herself.

Aunt Wang had also sold roast duck at her shop. The foot traffic in this area was not high, and the most they sold in a day was less than ten ducks.

But this kid had sold twenty ducks in twenty minutes? This must be a joke!

Aunt Wang couldn’t help but rub her eyes and lean in closer to the oven, examining it carefully.

As she got closer, she began to feel a little dizzy.

What was going on?

It smelled… so good!

Even though there were no roast ducks left, the rich, lingering scent of roasted duck, mixed with the fragrance of fruitwood, remained in the oven.

The smell was so enticing that Aunt Wang’s eyes widened.

She couldn’t help but get closer and closer, until she was nearly pressed against the oven.

“Huff…”

She took a deep breath, saliva practically flowing down uncontrollably.

Not long ago, she had doubted it. Now, Aunt Wang completely understood—this child was probably telling the truth.

Such an aromatic roast duck, selling twenty in twenty minutes—was that exaggerated?

No, not at all!

She only regretted not acting fast enough to get a roast duck herself. Now, she was desperately craving it but couldn’t have any.

She smelled the fragrance and absentmindedly took a big scoop of white rice.

Smell, then scoop.

Another smell, another scoop…

Before long, Aunt Wang had finished a whole bowl of rice just by savoring the aroma!

She still wasn’t satisfied, wiping her mouth, and then she reached out to grab the little boy, who was about to ride off on his tricycle. She begged him with a smile:

“Child, you’re such a good kid. If you sell roast duck again tomorrow, come shout ‘Aunt’ when you pass by. I’ll bring my whole family and buy it—don’t worry about saving money for me…”

Passersby: “…”

Aunt, you’re really hungry, aren’t you!
