Chapter 15: Make Money! Make Money!

Shen Yu replied to him gently, "I am. I'll be heading over to set up my stall in a little while. Why do you ask?"

Shi Zichen smiled. "It's nothing. I just wanted to know if you were still going to set up the stall. If you are, my cousins and I will come straight to find you after school."

Shen Yu nodded with a smile. "Then come find me after school. Hurry to school now, and be safe on the road."

"I know!"

Shi Zichen waved to her and walked briskly toward the old family residence to meet his two cousins before heading to school together.

At 3:00 PM.

Shen Yu first dropped the two little ones off at the old residence for her mother-in-law to look after.

Upon returning, she loaded the prepared goods into the back of her car one by one. As a precaution, she also placed several crates of goods on the rear seats.

Once everything was ready, she drove toward the old street to set up her stall.

To Shen Yu's surprise, several customers from yesterday were already waiting for her.

As soon as they saw her driving up to set up, they greeted her excitedly.

"Boss, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for ages."

"I've been waiting a long time too! Boss, I was really afraid you wouldn't show up. If I can't buy the chive pockets and large meat buns I had yesterday, my wife is going to scold me to death."

Everyone was amused by the man.

Shen Yu replied with a smile, "I prepared plenty of chive pockets and meat buns today. You can buy as many as you want."

The customer laughed and said, "That's great! Boss, give me ten chive pockets and ten meat buns each."

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of those around him, he explained, "After my family ate them yesterday, they all said they were delicious. They told me to buy more today so we can have them for dinner tonight."

Then, he turned back to Shen Yu: "Boss, give me five bottles of Cola, five sodas, and five bottles of orange juice. Oh, there are fried chicken legs and wings today too? Give me five of each of those as well."

"You got it."

Shen Yu noticed that this customer was dressed quite well and was buying so much at once; clearly, his family was well-off.

She hoped for more generous customers like him.

Shen Yu's food was delicious, and her sodas, colas, and milk teas were very popular with both adults and children.

Thanks to the word-of-mouth from yesterday, business was much better today. Customers flowed in continuously without pause.

By 5:00 PM, a long line had formed in front of her stall, consisting of people out grocery shopping, passersby, and students getting out of school.

While working yesterday, Shen Yu had realized that preparing drinks and adding ice on the spot was too slow and hindered her sales speed.

Last night, after the children had fallen asleep, she had entered the farm's processing workshop.

First, she ordered a batch of glass beverage bottles printed with "Shen Yu Delicacies," followed by a batch of plastic cups, paper cups, and paper bags, all bearing the same branding.

Then, she had the workshop's robots fill these drinks, providing both glass bottle versions and plastic cup versions.

The glass bottles were more eco-friendly; they could be consumed on the spot, and once finished, the bottles could be collected, sterilized, and reused.

The plastic cups were suitable for both on-the-spot consumption and takeout.

All the plastic cups and containers produced by the farm system were safe, non-toxic, and harmless to the human body.

In the back of her car today, Shen Yu had placed five large ice buckets filled with ice, pre-chilling a batch of the bottled soy milk, sodas, colas, orange juice, and milk teas.

Additionally, she kept several crates of non-chilled drinks in the car, allowing customers to choose whether they wanted them cold or not.

This way, she saved the time required for on-site filling and adding ice, making her sales speed significantly faster today.

The chive pockets, meat buns, steamed buns, and toasted bread also sold very quickly due to their excellent taste.

Today, Shen Yu had also added a few highly popular items: fried chicken legs, fried chicken wings, and milk ice cream.

As expected, they were a huge hit with the students.

After school, Shi Zichen and his cousins, Shi Zixuan and Shirong, also ran quickly toward Shen Yu's stall.

"Mom, I'm here!"

"Auntie, we're here!"

Seeing the three children return from school, Shen Yu asked them with a smile while she worked, "School's out. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Shi Zichen answered first, "Mom, I want milk tea. My classmates said it's really good. I had Cola yesterday, but I didn't get to try milk tea."

Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Alright, you can have milk tea today. I'll get some for your brothers too. The non-chilled ones are over there, help yourselves. The chilled ones are in these ice buckets; I'll get them for you."

Shi Zichen immediately replied, "We want the chilled ones! It's too hot; chilled drinks are more comfortable."

Shen Yu then gave each of the three a bottle of iced milk tea and a fried chicken leg.

The young boys had higher metabolisms and more physical activity, so their bodies could handle cold drinks.

However, girls naturally have a more "yin" or cold constitution, so they should drink less ice to avoid stomach issues or "cold womb" issues, which could lead to irregular menstruation or painful periods later in life.

If the person here had been little Shushu, Shen Yu would definitely have reminded her not to drink cold beverages regularly and to try to stick to room temperature or warm drinks.

After eating and drinking, the three children began helping Shen Yu sell goods and collect money.

With yesterday's experience, the three children worked quite professionally today, making Shen Yu's job much easier.

By the time they packed up, it was nearly 7:00 PM, and everything prepared for the day had been sold out.

Shen Yu drove them home.

When picking up little Kangkang and little Shushu, Shen Yu gave Shi Zixuan and Shirong a large bag of fried chicken wings and eight bottles of iced Cola as a thank-you for their help.

Shi Zixuan and Shirong were overjoyed, even bragging to their family that this was a reward from their Auntie for helping her today.

The elder Shi couple, along with the eldest brother and his wife, Su Chunhong, were extremely pleased with the generous Shen Yu, and they encouraged the two boys to help their Auntie whenever they had time.

The eldest brother also had an older son, Shi Zihao, who was in his third year of middle school and would be taking the high school entrance exam this year.

His grades had always been excellent, and barring any accidents, he should be able to get into a key high school.

He usually stayed home to study after school and didn't go out to play much; he had a steady and quiet personality, unlike the lively and active second and third sons.

After Shen Yu finished dinner with the three children, she watched Chenchen finish his homework, then helped the brothers shower and sent them to bed.

She also gave little Shushu a bath.

Once she saw that all three children were fast asleep, Shen Yu went to the living room and slipped into the farm villa.

She took a comfortable bath in the bathroom there, then checked on the operations in the processing workshop and various parts of the farm.

After confirming that everything was running normally, she slipped out of the farm and went to bed.

The next day.

After the eldest went to school, Shen Yu dropped the two younger ones off at the old residence with her mother-in-law.

She then drove directly to Luohu.

Before getting out of the car, Shen Yu changed into an elegant and fashionable black polka-dot Hong Kong-style dress and tied her hair up into a bun with a hair tie.

She applied the facial cream from the farm system, put on some rose-colored lipstick, and changed into a pair of high-heeled sandals.

In an instant, Shen Yu's appearance and aura improved from a seven or eight out of ten to a perfect ten.

After admiring herself in the mirror, Shen Yu finally stepped out of the car with a large black handbag, walking toward the nearby bank with a light, brisk step.
