Chapter 241 The Vicious Female Supporting Character in the Mind-Reading Novel 51
After admiring her, Yun Qing's mind started working, and she asked, "So, should Teacher Fang and I set up a stall outside the supermarket?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xihe thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. It would be very convenient to restock after we've sold out, but would the supermarket owner agree?"
Yun Qing waved her hand and said, "Getting more goods later is secondary. As long as the stall isn't too far from the supermarket, it's fine. The important thing is, Teacher Fang! We don't have any cooking pots or stoves!"
"If we rent it, not only will the cost increase, but we're unfamiliar with the area, so it won't be easy to arrange, and it will also waste time."
"So we can talk to the supermarket owner and see if we can borrow his cooking pots and pans."
"We're selling their glutinous rice balls, so it's kind of like advertising for them. If our glutinous rice balls are delicious, maybe some people will want to buy a couple of packs to cook at home after they finish eating them!"
"Besides, if we sell well, we'll continue to get our goods from him. We're also filming a TV show, so if the supermarket owner isn't the kind of person who's particularly difficult to talk to, he should agree."
After she finished speaking, she added, "Maybe even the stall fee can be waived."
Fang Xihe couldn't help but look surprised.
He had always thought Yun Qing was a rather absent-minded person, with her mind and eyes only on food and she didn't really think about anything else. He never expected that she could think of so much and calculate so precisely!
He glanced at Song Yanlin, then at Yun Qing, and suddenly realized that the saying "two kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed" made a lot of sense.
The four of them quickly found the small supermarket.
This small supermarket is really small; it sells simple daily necessities, inexpensive nutritional supplement gift boxes, snacks, drinks, and frozen foods.
After looking her over, Li Mengzhi frowned.
Song Yanlin just kept talking about the glutinous rice balls from Su Yunqing's group, but what about their own group?
They want to sell fruit, but this supermarket doesn't sell fruit!
Where will they source their goods?
In fact, Li Mengzhi felt somewhat uncomfortable facing Yun Qing and Song Yanlin.
Her previous attempt to drag Yun Qing into this mess was exposed, and now she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable facing them.
Most importantly, their sweet relationship made her feel particularly defeated, which inevitably caused her to lose her composure.
Now Song Yanlin doesn't care about his teammate's life or death, he only cares about Yun Qing.
They're showing off their love, why should she have to pay for it!
Li Mengzhi was unhappy, but she rationally refrained from saying anything more.
However, Li Mengzhi was just an ordinary person after all, and her expression management was not very good. Her displeasure was inevitably revealed on her face.
The other three were busy negotiating with the supermarket owner and didn't notice, but the viewers in the live stream saw it all clearly.
Who is Li Mengzhi giving the cold shoulder to?
It's understandable that Li Mengzhi is unhappy, right? Song Yanlin is clearly on her team, but he doesn't treat her like a teammate, only caring about Su Yunqing. Anyone would feel uncomfortable that way, right?
[Ha! Whose fault is this? She put so much thought into the breakup, trying to drag Su Su down with her. President Song didn't just ignore her; he even discussed dividing the work with her. That's already quite polite, okay? And didn't she agree herself?]
[Um... I mean, was Li Mengzhi provoked by how affectionate Su Su and President Song looked?]
While the audience was discussing the matter, the supermarket owner had already agreed to let Yun Qing and Fang Xihe set up a stall outside the supermarket. He generously offered to waive their stall fee and readily provided them with his own pot and induction cooker.
He even helped set up a table and added boiling water to the pot.
Yun Qing kept thanking him, "Uncle, thank you so much!"
"Let me tell you, our program is currently only being broadcast live. Later, an edited version will be released and broadcast on television. When that happens, you can put up a sign at the entrance of your supermarket so that everyone knows your supermarket has been on TV."
"Think about it, there are only three supermarkets in this town, they are about the same size, they sell about the same things, and the prices are about the same, so it doesn't matter where people buy their things."
"But now that your supermarket is on TV, it's different from the other two supermarkets! The elderly will definitely be more willing to come and visit your store."
The uncle nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! The old folks love this. I'll have my son get some photos of it for TV and hang them up. My supermarket will be the first in town to have this!"
The two were chatting happily. If someone hadn't come to buy something, the shop owner probably would have cooked the glutinous rice balls for Yun Qing.
Song Yanlin: ...
Fang Xihe: ...
They found themselves somewhat unable to get involved.
After a moment of silence, Fang Xihe couldn't help but ask Song Yanlin, "President Song, is Su Su usually this good at sweet-talking?"
Song Yanlin glanced at him. "What Qingqing said is true."
Fang Xihe: ...Alright then.
Song Yanlin glanced at the busy Yun Qing and wondered why this little fool was becoming smarter. Moreover, she no longer had any thoughts of doing bad things.
Hmm... It's definitely true that you become like those you associate with, and you become wiser by associating with wise people!
After the owner finished paying the customer, he brought over disposable bowls and chopsticks. "Susu, you need bowls and chopsticks to sell glutinous rice balls! Please use these as you like."
"Oh right! Thank you, uncle, but we have to pay for this!"
"No need, no need."
"No way, even brothers should keep clear accounts! Uncle, you've already helped us a lot."
The shop owner couldn't argue with Yun Qing, so he didn't refuse anymore. He just helped them hawk their wares when no one was buying anything, and he even planned to cook glutinous rice balls for them.
Seeing that Yun Qing was doing very well, Song Yanlin felt relieved. After telling her, he went to buy goods with Li Mengzhi.
He didn't go to fruit shops or fruit stalls, but instead bought fruit from elderly people selling it in baskets and hampers on the roadside.
Those are homegrown fruits, all in season, fresh and cheap, you can bargain, and they even let you taste them.
Song Yanlin bought three kinds of fruit and asked Li Mengzhi, "Do you know how much they cost?"
There's a problem with seasonal fruits: there are so many sellers that it's impossible to directly profit from the price difference.
Li Mengzhi nodded and said, "I know, I'm fine. Mr. Song, you go and keep Su Su company!"
She seemed rather eager to get Song Yan to leave.
Li Mengzhi actually wanted to show herself off and attract some fans. She hoped that someone would protect her instead of being helplessly insulted.
It was just as well that Song Yan was leaving; with him here, she felt constrained and restricted.
Song Yanlin nodded, said nothing more, and left.
When he returned to the small supermarket, there was already a queue at Yun Qing and Fang Xihe's stalls.
Yun Qing was eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls, while Fang Xihe was so busy that he barely had time to move. The supermarket owner was busy attending to customers and didn't have time to help.
Yun Qing couldn't help but say, "Teacher Fang, I'd better help out!"
Fang Xihe waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. You're already doing a great job by eating there. These customers all come here because of you."
Actually, at first, they had no business at all. Even with the supermarket owner's help to promote their business, they only had two or three customers.
It wasn't until the supermarket owner cooked a bowl of glutinous rice balls for Yunqing that she realized she was drooling over them and must be hungry, and told her to eat them quickly.
Then, who would have thought! The number of customers suddenly increased, and some customers even asked for the same kind of filling that Yunqing ate for their glutinous rice balls, because they looked so delicious!
Even the frozen glutinous rice balls and fermented glutinous rice in the small supermarket have sold a lot.
Yunqing had no choice but to continue eating the glutinous rice balls, becoming a living advertisement.
As soon as Song Yanlin got close to her, he heard her happily singing in her heart, "[Selling glutinous rice balls~ Selling glutinous rice balls~ Little brother's glutinous rice balls are round and round~]"
Song Yanlin: ...
Honestly, the fact that he didn't cover his ears when faced with her off-key singing really proves that he truly loves her!
