Sister, can I be a maid too?

Secondly, I was also afraid that the little hedgehog would feel hurt, so I haven't found a suitable opportunity to speak.

However, since she brought it up herself, Jiang Yubai was naturally happy to go along with it.

Lin Jianxia stared at the draft for a long time before finally coming back to her senses.

"How about... we divide them by the number of buns in their bags? There seem to be more boys asking you to bring them breakfast..."

Jiang Yu was amused, and quickly wrote back:

"Alright, alright, let's split it in half. Once we've collected all the money, we can each have half. I don't even want to bother counting those pittances."

The school bell rang.

Li Yang, who usually disappeared long ago, was the first to rush over, followed closely by a bunch of eager classmates who noisily surrounded him.

There's no way around it, there are only so many spots available each day, if you come late you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

But this time, Jiang Yubai remained calm and unhurried, taking out two blank sheets of paper and slamming them onto the table:

"Come on, boys write this way, girls write this way. We'll tentatively give fifty buns to each side, first come, first served."

"Brother Jiang, are you expanding recruitment?" Li Yang's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, we're not worried about you not having enough to eat."

Once the list was complete and the money was counted, he carefully folded the two densely written papers and stuffed them into his schoolbag.

After leaving the school gate, he found a secluded corner and took out his "sales revenue" for the day to count.

After deducting the cost of the steamed buns, he neatly counted out thirty-two yuan and fifty cents, then turned and handed it to Lin Jianxia, ​​who had been eagerly following him.

"Here's today's pay. Tomorrow I'll be requisitioning your backpack, so don't blame me if you smell like steamed buns."

Lin Jianxia didn't care about the smell of the steamed buns anymore; she held the thirty-two yuan and fifty cents and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

Seeing her greedy look, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but laugh:

"Lin Jianxia, ​​is it really that serious?"

"Why not?" Lin Jianxia argued confidently. "Thirty-two and a half yuan a day, that's two hundred and thirty a week, and almost a thousand yuan a month!"

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at her:

"Just to add, we only go to school five days a week."

Lin Jianxia was taken aback, then started counting on her fingers again.

Before she could finish calculating, Jiang Yubai, both amused and exasperated, flicked her forehead:

"Hey, are you planning to keep working until graduation? No matter how good the steamed buns are, you'll get tired of them if you eat too many. You can only stay for another week or two at most."

Lin Jianxia thought about it and agreed, then happily clutched the money tighter and shook her head:

"Well, I'll earn money one day at a time, anyway."

At the entrance of Jinxiu New Village.

In front of a barbecue stall.

Jiang Yubai was about to speak when Lin Jianxia stepped forward first and said sweetly to the stall owner:

"Auntie, please give me three skewers of chicken wings and three skewers of corn, one spicy and two non-spicy."

The auntie smiled, skillfully baked the food, packed it into a bag, and handed it over.

"Here, that's twenty-one yuan in total. Eat it while it's hot!"

Lin Jianxia counted out twenty-one from the stack of banknotes and change in her hand and handed it over, then turned around and stuffed four strings of cash into Jiang Yubai's hand, a little smug on her face:

"Here, please, you idiot~"

Jiang Yubai chuckled as he accepted the barbecue, nodding obligingly at her.

"Well then... thank you very much for feeding me, Lin Jianxia."

It's a term of address that I usually don't feel anything about, but today it feels a little awkward for some reason.

However, this slight unease was quickly overshadowed by the elation of "I made money!" Lin Jianxia turned around and walked briskly towards home:

"Let's go home, let's go home~"

In the following days, their "Hungry Numb" business became increasingly successful.

Even students from the next class came running after school, crowding the classroom door as soon as it was over, clamoring to order steamed buns, soy milk, and even asking them to bring the latest issue of the comic book.

With the addition of a backpack, the amount of weight carried each day almost doubled, and income also increased rapidly.

Thirty or forty yuan a day might be just the cost of a meal for an adult, but for a high school student, it's a huge sum of money.

I buy a box of bear-shaped cookies, a bottle of cola, and a braised chicken leg every day, and I still have more than 20 yuan left over that I don't know where to spend it.

I haven't even finished using it all today, and tomorrow's income is already in my account.

Anyway, Lin Jianxia was always happily clutching that little bit of change, looking kind of silly.

.....

.....

Early morning, Li's Breakfast.

As Jiang Yubai and Lin Jianxia approached the breakfast shop, the proprietress's eyes lit up:

"Oh, you've arrived?"

She remembered these two big clients all too well; every time they came, it was like they were there to buy goods, stuffing boxes of stuff into their bags.

Jiang Yubai nodded, but before he could speak, a middle-aged man who looked like an office worker hurriedly walked up behind him.

Seeing the two people ahead, he didn't say anything, seemingly planning to wait until they finished buying before speaking.

Jiang Yubai glanced at it and took the initiative to speak:

"Uncle, you go ahead and buy it. We need a lot, so we might have to wait a while."

The man was clearly taken aback by his offer, paused for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand.

"It's alright, it's alright. You came first, you can buy your things first and then we'll talk."

—They're just two high school students, how much more can they buy?

Since that's what they've said, Jiang Yubai didn't stand on ceremony any longer. He took out a long strip of paper from his bag and began to read it aloud:

"Auntie, please give me forty-two meat buns, twelve tofu buns, eight shumai, eleven vermicelli buns, eight spring rolls, and soy milk..."

The proprietress standing nearby had already taken out paper and pen, listening and taking notes with practiced ease.

The man at the door was stunned from the moment he pulled out the note, and after hearing the long string of numbers, he was momentarily speechless.

No, are they here for breakfast or to buy goods?!

Seeing that the proprietress had already started serving the steamed buns, he quickly spoke up, somewhat embarrassed:

"Um... could you give me two first?"

He had just said "you guys go first," but then he turned around and tried to cut in line himself, which made the man feel a little embarrassed.

But I can't not cut in line—if I wait for those two students to finish buying their buns wholesale, I'll probably be late for work...

The proprietress was clearly used to this situation before. After consulting with Jiang Yu and Bai, she happily nodded in agreement.

What do you want?

"One meat bun, one tofu bun, and a cup of soy milk," the man said quickly.

Jiang Yubai naturally had no objection to this small act of 'cutting in line'.

After all, there are tons of high school students who have to go to school by 6 a.m., while many others have to go to work by 6 a.m....

Those were truly beasts of burden.

After the little incident, Jiang Yubai paid the money skillfully, and the two of them walked towards the school, each carrying a bulging schoolbag.

Although the security guards at the school gate have a rule against bringing outside food, they usually turn a blind eye unless the food is blatantly carried in their hands.

As Jiang Yubai climbed the stairs to the third floor and turned into the corridor, he suddenly stopped.

He grabbed Lin Jianxia, ​​who was about to walk forward, and clicked his tongue softly.

Lin Jianxia was still confused and looked at him blankly.

Jiang Yubai raised his chin, gesturing for her to look towards the classroom door—

The homeroom teacher, Zhang Shufang, who usually only appears at the beginning of morning self-study, was standing by the door this time, with half of her figure vaguely visible.

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment, then whispered his instructions:

"Wait here for a bit, I'll go in and check. If everything's alright, then come back."

Lin Jianxia glanced at the other end of the classroom, then looked at him again, and nodded hesitantly.

After giving his instructions, Jiang Yubai slung his backpack over his shoulder, composed himself, and walked nonchalantly toward the classroom.

As he got closer, he realized that Zhang Shufang was standing guard at the classroom door, observing each student as they entered.

The students in the classroom were clearly stunned by the scene, and they all remained as quiet as quails.

Jiang Yubai nodded casually to Master Zhang and said:

Good morning, Teacher Zhang.

Zhang Shufang hummed in agreement and glanced at him.

Jiang Yubai felt a slight sense of relief and was about to step inside—

But then Zhang Shufang's deep voice suddenly came from behind:

"and many more."

Chapter 144 No, you actually touched it?

"and many more."

Master Zhang's calm voice rang out from behind.

Jiang Yubai froze, hesitated for a few seconds, then turned around and flashed a bright smile:
