Chapter 675: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Shu Yu smiled and quickly walked forward.
Their stall wasn't very big. They mainly sold popcorn and the specialty baked cakes from Jiangyuan County. Both of these items needed to be served hot, so there were two large wooden barrels in the stall, surrounded by thick cloth to keep the contents warm.
There wasn't a large quantity of food in the barrels, and once they sold out, Ruan Shi and Da Ya would refill them in the stove at the back, which was quite convenient.
Their food could also be taken away, but Ruan Shi still set up four small tables in front of the stall.
These tables were foldable, probably made by Lu Erbai.
At the moment, two tables had customers sitting at them, while the others were queuing up to buy food to go.
Da Ya pulled Shu Yu over and stood behind Ruan Shi, her excited face slightly flushed. "Mother, guess who's here?"
Ruan Shi was too busy to turn her head, collecting money and packaging orders. She casually asked, "Who?"
Da Ya snatched the work from Ruan Shi's hands and did it herself. "You'll see when you turn around."
Ruan Shi freed up her hands and reluctantly glanced at Da Ya before turning her head. Her eyes widened in shock. "Ah, Ah Yu? How did you come here? Aren't you..."
With many customers around, Ruan Shi immediately hushed herself. Then she pulled Shu Yu a few steps back and asked her in a low voice, "Can you leave the village?"
She looked at Shu Yu with a mix of joy and a gaze that couldn't get enough of her, as if she wanted to examine every inch of her.
Since Shu Yu left Jiangyuan County, Lu Erbai had seen her, Da Ya had seen her, and she lived with Grandma, Da Hu, and San Ya. Only Ruan Shi hadn't had the chance to visit her daughter in the village.
Originally, she planned that if the local leader demanded protection fees, they would finish their business for the morning and then go to the village to find Shu Yu. But unexpectedly, Ah Yu came first.
Shu Yu smiled and allowed her to examine her. She quickly explained the situation and then gently pressed her onto a small stool beside her. "Mother, rest for a while. I'll take care of things here. I heard from my sister that there isn't much left, so once we sell out this morning, we'll go home. I'll help my sister collect money."
"You don't need to do that. I can handle it."
"I'm faster at calculations. Let me do it."
Ruan Shi couldn't argue with that. Indeed, Ah Yu was the fastest at calculations in their family. While others still needed an abacus, she could instantly determine the result with just a glance. She was really amazing.
Their stall had good business, but with that came the difficulty of calculations. Both Shu Yu and Da Ya weren't particularly fast at mental math, and sometimes they would be scolded by customers for being slow.
But they tried their best. Calculations were truly too difficult.
Shu Yu quickly walked to the front of the stall. Coincidentally, a customer wanted to buy seven cakes and three bags of popcorn, which was a bit much. Da Ya handed them to him while mentally calculating.
Just then, someone shouted from behind, "Are you going to eat all those cakes yourself? What about the people behind us? Miss, save some for us. I want five cakes."
Following that, another customer's voice came from the small table. "Boss, let's settle the bill, and give me another bag of popcorn to take away."
With the interruption, Da Ya started to feel flustered.
Fortunately, Shu Yu came over and collected the money while responding to the people behind her, "Don't worry, there are still five cakes available."
After finishing, she packaged the popcorn and went to the small table to collect the money.
