Bab 9: Chapter 9: Scouting the Candidate

"Grandpas and Grandmas!"

Tuan Tuan suddenly shouted loudly, quieting down the scene.

"Are you trying to find me a mommy?"

"Yes, don't you want your dad to find you another mommy?"

"Of course, I do!"

Tuan Tuan clapped his little hands, "But I like them pretty, and also nice to me! At least like Teacher Tong Ya!"

The old men and women were amused and laughed, not expecting Tuan Tuan to be so picky.

"Oh my, this teacher is like a fairy, it's not easy to find someone as beautiful as her!"

"Kid, you want your dad to be a bachelor for life!"

"The child has quite the opinion! Then you'd better help your dad look carefully!"

Who knew that Tuan Tuan pouted slightly with an air of arrogance.

"Do I even need to look? I just like Teacher Tong Ya, and I doubt there's anyone prettier than her, so I say it should be her!"

With that, everyone's gaze was drawn to Tong Ya.

Even one of the old women moved closer, "This girl is so beautiful, there must be plenty of suitors. Maybe she already has someone!"

Tuan Tuan immediately seized the opportunity, "Teacher Tong Ya, do you really already have someone?"

Tong Ya's face flushed red in an instant, and she subconsciously glanced in Chen Yu's direction, slightly raising her tone.

"I've never been in love before."

"Then do you have someone you like?" Tuan Tuan continued to pry.

"No!" Tong Ya said almost reflexively, but in that moment, her gaze was fixed on Chen Yu.

Tuan Tuan clapped his little hands excitedly, "Dad, did you hear that? Teacher Tong Ya is still single!"

Chen Yu merely bowed his head and continued with his work, completely ignoring Tuan Tuan. In his eyes, this little girl was just following the elderly crowd, making a fuss over nothing.

Immediately, Tuan Tuan felt a sense of disappointed frustration.

The old men and women were all laughing heartily.

"Young man, did you see that? Your daughter is taking your matters to heart and even plans to introduce this beautiful teacher to you!"

Chen Yu replied with a polite smile and continued making fried cakes, treating it as just a joke.

Tong Ya, however, felt flustered by these jokes and pretended to look down at her phone to hide her bashfulness.

As soon as she unlocked her phone, she saw a message from Tang Xiaowei.

"Have you seen him yet? Quickly take a photo and send it over, I want to see who has hooked you so soullessly."

Tong Ya subconsciously glanced at Chen Yu.

"He's busy, how can I take a photo?"

"Aiyah, Miss Tong has learned to guard her food," Tang Xiaowei's text carried a hint of jealousy.

"Talk nonsense again and see if I don't tear up your mouth when I get back!"

"Just kidding, send me a selfie and your exact location! I'm not worried about your safety, I'm just afraid you're harboring improper thoughts about that father and daughter!"

"Beat it!"

Nevertheless, Tong Ya still picked up her phone, ready to take a selfie.

"Teacher, are you going to take a selfie? Can I join you?" Tuan Tuan suddenly came over.

"Of course you can!"

Without refusal, she subconsciously hugged Tuan Tuan into her arms and struck a pose.

For some reason, holding Tuan Tuan, Tong Ya suddenly felt an impulse never to let go.

After taking several photos, she reluctantly let go of Tuan Tuan.

Tang Xiaowei had just received the photos when she suddenly screamed.

"Oh my god, this is too cute! Isn't this the daughter of your male god?"

"Yeah!" Tong Ya replied to the message, her face unexpectedly brimming with inexplicable happiness.

"No wonder you're willing to become their stepmother, with such an adorable girl, I'd be willing too!"

"Don't get any ideas about my male god."

"I'm not competing with you! But there are some things you really need to think through, the Tong Family's higher-ups would never let you date a divorced man!"

"Just eat your hotpot!"

Tong Ya retorted and then put down her phone.

At this point, the food stall had long become a bustling scene, all the folding tables and chairs were already set up on the adjacent open ground, clearly not enough to accommodate everyone.

Most people were standing nearby, wolfing down their fried cakes.

Even Tuan Tuan was too busy to come over and talk to Tong Ya, looking somewhat flustered as he took money and noted down orders.

Suddenly feeling a tad uncomfortable, Tong Ya instinctively stood up and went over to Tuan Tuan's side.

"Let the teacher help you with taking notes!"

"No need, Teacher, I can manage on my own! It's Dad who seems to be overwhelmed, making fried cakes and packing orders at the same time!"

Tong Ya instantly understood Tuan Tuan's implication, and her heart rate kicked up a notch.

"Then I'll go help your dad!"

Tong Ya, while trying her best to maintain her composure and dignity, uncontrollably hastened into the food stall.

In the kitchen area, Chen Yu was proficiently frying with both hands, managing two woks simultaneously.

At the bar area, there were five wooden tray boxes neatly arranged with five different flavors of fried cakes.

Next to the trays was a stack of thick orders listing the flavors, quantities, and names.

Without any hesitation, Tong Ya grabbed a pair of spare gloves and began packing the fried cakes according to the orders.

"Uncle Chen, three brown sugar, three white sugar, two black sesame."

Her crisp and gentle voice suddenly rang out, startling Chen Yu.

He hadn't expected that Tong Ya would come to help him in such a greasy environment.

The addressed Uncle Chen immediately rushed over.

"Ah, truly a teacher, so kind and even helping the students' parents with work!"

Uncle Chen took the fried cakes and seized the chance to compliment her.

Chen Yu was immediately a bit embarrassed, "Ah, Teacher Tong, I apologize for the inconvenience, I'm already embarrassed, how could I let you do the work?"

"It's okay, I'd be idle anyway!"

As she spoke, Tong Ya began packing the fried cakes as quickly as she could, as if to show Chen Yu that she definitely wouldn't be in the way.

Chen Yu didn't know what else to say, and after all, he was indeed busy frying and packing.

"Teacher Tong, Tuan Tuan really hasn't done anything wrong at school, you're not here for a home visit, right?"

Tong Ya paused for a moment, inwardly cursing him as a blockhead.

"Didn't I already say it, I'm here specially to taste the fried cakes you made!"

To prove it, Tong Ya directly grabbed a piece of purple sweet potato fried cake and took a bite.

The pure savory flavor exploded in her mouth in an instant, causing Tong Ya's pupils to dilate considerably.

"Wow, this is too delicious!"

Tong Ya had never imagined that someone could make such a small fried cake so mouthwateringly delicious.

Chen Yu's face now bore a more confident smile; after all, receiving a compliment from a beautiful woman like Tong Ya would cause any man's heart to ripple.


Bab 10: Chapter 10: The Male God in My Heart

By 7 p.m., Chen Yu called for Tuan Tuan to stop taking orders.

"Why aren't you taking orders anymore? I see there's still a lot!"

"I'm really sorry, these have all been sold!" Chen Yu's face was full of apology.

Tong Ya was also astonished at this moment, within just under three hours, so many fried cakes had been sold out.

For some reason, Tong Ya suddenly felt a bit of inexplicable guilt, thinking if she hadn't eaten one, Chen Yu could have sold one more.

After dealing with the remaining orders, Chen Yu turned off one of the fryers and placed the remaining twenty semi-finished products into another fryer.

"Eh, didn't you sell out?" Tong Ya asked, puzzled.

"These are specially reserved for you!"

At these words, Tong Ya's heart suddenly started pounding.

"For me?"

"Yeah, you've helped me so much! I should make a few fried cakes as a token of my gratitude, right?"

Tong Ya's cheeks, which had just heated up, instantly cooled down, and she pouted with a hint of resentment.

"Well, thank you then!"

Tong Ya said her thanks and then subconsciously took off her gloves to help tidy up the food cart.

Just as Chen Yu was lifting the twenty fried cakes out of the fryer, he heard Zhang Fan's hasty voice.

"Chen! Your half-trailer is ready, come out and check it!"

Chen Yu was taken aback, it seemed like Zhang Fan had just shown him the blueprint at noon! And now, in just half a day, it was done.

When Chen Yu saw the food cart Zhang Fan had made for him, he wondered for a moment if this guy also had a system blessing.

Because the half-trailer was crafted with extreme intricacy, resembling a mobile little house.

The inside space was also very spacious and even had the electric wiring fully installed.

"Zhang, nice workmanship!"

Zhang Fan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Actually, this small half-trailer was custom-ordered by someone else before, but they changed their mind halfway and didn't want it anymore, so I just made some slight modifications and brought it over to you."

"I really appreciate it, then!"

With that, Chen Yu took out the cash he had organized, counted two thousand, and stuffed it into Zhang Fan's hands.

"Oh no, there's no need!"

Zhang Fan hastily refused, "We're neighbors, why give money? Besides, that little half-trailer would've been scrapped if it stayed with me!"

"That's not the way to say it, I should still pay you! I've checked, and such a half-trailer modification costs at least two thousand, so just take it! Otherwise, you won't be welcome to come for my fried cakes in the future."

Seeing Chen Yu so insistent, Zhang Fan didn't put on airs.

However, after accepting the two thousand, he returned five hundred.

"Alright, Chen! One thousand five hundred is enough, if you give me more, I'm going to get upset!"

While Chen Yu and Zhang Fan were going back and forth, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on perfectly ending a day's business, netting a profit of 7,993.5 yuan, earning 7,993.5 points!]

Chen Yu was momentarily surprised, as the system usually settled accounts only after the food cart was cleaned up.

Could it be that Tong Ya had already finished cleaning the food cart?

However, Chen Yu was soon distracted by the system page that popped up.

At this moment, his accumulated points had reached 14,228!

After doing the math, he had twenty fried cakes left in the afternoon, four of each flavor, totaling twenty-eight yuan.

Plus the one with sweet potato flavor Tong Ya ate, that made it twenty-nine point five yuan in total.

In other words, the net profit for the afternoon was five thousand five hundred and seventy point five yuan!

It seemed that when the system calculated net profit and points, it would deduct the cost of inputs.

Probably by tomorrow, the one thousand five hundred yuan spent on the trailer would also be included.

While Chen Yu was focused on the system, Zhang Fan had already stuffed five hundred yuan into his hand and left with a stride.

At this moment, Tuan Tuan had already brought out the fried cakes Chen Yu made to the front of the food cart.

"Dad is just too great, leaving twenty specifically for the teacher! Yesterday he wouldn't even spare one or two for me to eat, it seems Dad has taken a liking to the teacher."

Immediately, Tong Ya's cheeks turned red, and in comparison, Tuan Tuan was much more skilled at flirting than Chen Yu.

With a light cough, Tong Ya hurriedly changed the subject.

"By the way, why do your mom and dad want to get a divorce?"

Instantly, Tuan Tuan's face was filled with sorrow: "Mom was discovered by a talent scout, became a big star, and didn't want us anymore! She thinks Dad and I would impact her career."

Tong Ya immediately felt annoyed. This was simply a classic case of a heartless woman!

"Your dad, at the very least, has a graduate degree, is well-educated, handsome, and a good person. How could your mom leave him?"

"Huh? Teacher, how do you know my dad has a graduate degree?"

Suddenly embarrassed, Tong Ya said, "The kindergarten has files on the student's parents! By the way, where did your dad learn to make fried cakes?"

"He taught himself! He used to make them for me quite often!"

Tong Ya was immediately amazed internally. The man of her dreams really was extraordinary; just through self-study, he could make such delicious fried cakes.

The liking hidden in her heart grew a bit more; she even thought about whether she should take the initiative.

While they were talking, Tong Ya unknowingly ate ten fried cakes.

Typically, she wouldn't touch food as greasy as this, but the taste of these fried cakes was really too unique. If she hadn't controlled herself, she might have eaten all twenty.

At this moment, Chen Yu had already connected the trailer to the food cart and walked over, clapping his hands.

"Starting tomorrow, we'll be able to store more raw materials! We can even open a dedicated window for selling drinks."

Tuan Tuan jumped up excitedly, "Yay, tomorrow we'll have drinks!"

Chen Yu, however, rolled his eyes: "Kids shouldn't drink soft drinks too often!"

Tong Ya, who was beside them, concurred, "That's right, especially since Tuan Tuan dances, you really shouldn't drink them, though drinking some dairy products is still fine."

As she spoke, Tong Ya took out her phone, ready to make a payment using the QR code nearby.

Chen Yu quickly stepped forward, grabbing Tong Ya's wrist.

"Oh, Teacher Tong Ya, you helped me out today, and I haven't even had the chance to thank you. How could you pay?"

"I should pay! These fried cakes didn't just appear out of thin air!" Tong Ya switched to her other hand, insisting on moving the phone closer.

Chen Yu became anxious, he reached out with both hands, grabbing onto both of Tong Ya's wrists.

Realizing how intimate the gesture was, Chen Yu quickly let go.

"You don't need to pay, Teacher!" Tuan Tuan suddenly jumped over, "I think from now on, the teacher can take me to and from school, and then Dad can take care of the teacher's breakfast and dinner. That would settle it!"

"You little girl, the teacher is so busy, how can she take you to and from school?"

No sooner had Chen Yu scolded, than Tong Ya suddenly looked up.

"I can do it! I'm usually not that busy, taking Tuan Tuan to and from school is not an issue!"
