I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

At 11:30 a.m., Qiu Qing arrived at Ye Xian's house.

Autumn's mother cleaned up the convenience store early and went home.

She wasn't considered an employee, and Ye Xian didn't care what time she came or left.

When Qiu Qing arrived at the location, Ye Xian was preparing the ingredients.

The rice had been soaked for 30 minutes beforehand, and Ye Xian was blanching the razor clams, scallops, shrimp, and squid.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Looking at the meal Ye Xian was preparing, Qiu Qing immediately understood what he was going to do today, and her heart filled with joy.

This little idler is quite thoughtful.

"You should rest. You have a flight this afternoon. Get some rest beforehand. You can't sleep well on the plane."

Ye Xian removed the shells from the blanched razor clams and cut the squid and scallops into pieces. He fried the shrimp heads, which had been removed beforehand, to extract shrimp oil, then added minced garlic and stir-fried until fragrant. He then added the seafood, seasoned with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper.

"Then I'll go watch the shop for you."

Qiu Qing walked out of the kitchen with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

After stir-frying the seafood, the next steps are exactly the same as making lazy-person's rice. Once the rice cooker is plugged in, Ye Xian washes his hands and goes to the convenience store.

"Ye Xian, I sold 10 cases of bottled water and 1 case of Red Bull! Aren't I amazing!"

Qiu Qing was happily counting her money.

One bottle of Red Bull costs 144 yuan, and ten bottles of mineral water cost 240 yuan.

The total is 384 yuan.

Nice!

Ye Xian's eyes lit up; finally, he saw money!

Today's seafood rice was definitely worth it!

"Boss, give me a case of goldfish-themed non-GMO cooking oil."

Before Ye Xian could speak, another person rode up to the door on a small electric scooter and took away four cans of oil.

Income: 316 yuan.

"this……"

Although they haven't officially opened for business these past few days, as long as the door is open, there will be business. Qiu Qing has been open for several days and hasn't sold a single penny, but she has sold 700 yuan worth of goods in just over ten minutes.

Even if it's because Haizhou is a tourist city, it's still unreasonable for Ye Xian's family's shop to be located near the sea.

Am I just unlucky?

Before Ye Xian could even react, another car pulled up in front of the door: "Give me three bottles of water, three bottles of Red Bull, three bottles of instant noodles with pickled cabbage, one sausage, and one beef. Do you have ice cream? No? Never mind! Hurry up and load it into the car, we're in a hurry to eat."

Income: 859 yuan.

……

This meal was probably the most magical meal Ye Xian and Qiu Qing had ever had.

From the moment the two started cooking until they finished eating, customers kept coming in through the door.

In the end, the two of them simply stood in front of the cashier and ate the seafood rice with their hands.

You take a bite, then go and get things for the customers.

I took a bite, and then helped the customer put the food in the car.

When Qiu's mother strolled over after lunch, she was stunned: "I said, you two are eating your farewell meal standing here? And you haven't finished yet?"

"Mom, hurry up and take over for me, my seafood rice is getting cold!"

Qiu Qing was initially very excited, but later she pouted and almost cried.

She doesn't mind working hard.

She wasn't the kind of child who was spoiled.

But this is seafood rice that Ye Xian specially made for himself!

I haven't had seafood rice in three years!

I've only taken two bites of it while it's still hot!

The rest of the time were spent moving things for people and collecting money.

I did a quick calculation, and in just one noon, I sold 3671 yuan worth of goods.

There's a lot of money, but today isn't the day to collect it!

"You two silly kids, couldn't you have closed the door for a bit? What difference would it make if you sold it for a penny more or a penny less? How long does a meal last?"

Qiu's mother was both amused and exasperated, feeling sorry for her daughter and Ye Xian. These two children rarely get together, and it's just too much fun!

"But it's the same today. I didn't sell a single penny all morning, so why did you sell so much as soon as you arrived? Qingqing, why don't you go buy a lottery ticket?"

"Mom, how could you do this!"

Qiu Qing snorted and carried the seafood rice to the back living room. As she reached the door, she glanced at Ye Xian.

Ye Xian indicated that he understood: "Let me heat it up for you."

"Why is it so hot? It won't taste good if it gets any hotter!"

Qiu Qing stormed off in a huff.

"You silly boy, aren't you going to follow them!"

Mrs. Qiu smiled and patted Ye Xian on the shoulder. Ye Xian immediately realized that Qiu Qing had glanced at him earlier because she wanted him to go eat with her.

"That song from yesterday, did you write a new one?"

While picking at the squid in her bowl, Qiu Qing chatted casually with Ye Xian.

"Hmm, how is it?"

Ye Xian was starving and ate large mouthfuls of seafood rice.

"That's great, you even film short videos of your meals?"

Qiu Qing was annoyed to see Ye Xian eating heartily while fiddling with his orange-shaped phone.

Can you concentrate for a second?

"This is a short video for tomorrow. I'll be doing a live stream tomorrow night. I was originally planning to film the short video tomorrow, but since it's on the same day, I'll film it together."

As Ye Xian spoke, he finished eating the rice in his bowl.

Qiu Qing looked at her half-eaten bowl of rice, then at Ye Xian's empty bowl, then at Ye Xian still filming a short video, and then at the suffering she had endured at noon that day, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Xian noticed that Qiu Qing's mood was off and quickly put down his orange phone.

"I can't eat anymore!"

Qiu Qing put the spoon in the bowl, rested her chin on her hand, and didn't want to pay any attention to this blockhead.

She doesn't usually throw tantrums, but the problem is that she's having trouble controlling herself on this particular day.

Ye Xian paused for a moment, then came to his senses: "Eat a couple more bites, and I'll help you record my new song later, okay? This song was originally meant for you."

"A gift for me?"

Qiu Qing, who had been feeling down, immediately brightened up upon hearing this: "Then why didn't you say so sooner?"

"This song is actually more suited to female vocals. My version is a bit somber, so I recorded two versions of the arrangement, thinking of giving you a surprise before you leave."

"You blockhead, at least you have some conscience! Oh dear, we're running out of time! You little rascal, don't try to hide anything next time!"

Qiu Qing quickly shoveled down two mouthfuls of seafood rice, not caring whether she was full or not, and dragged Ye Xian towards the recording studio.

……

18:00

Ye Xian took Qiu Qing to the airport, checked her luggage, and got her boarding pass.

The two remained silent the entire way.

Standing at the entrance to the international flight area, Qiu Qing sipped a glass of lemonade and stared intently at Ye Xian.

The man was handsome and the woman was pretty. Passing travelers couldn't help but turn around to look at the two of them. Qiu Qing wasn't shy at all, but Ye Xian was a little embarrassed by her gaze.

"Well, before I leave, I have a small request."

"you say."

Qiu Qing's eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.

"Um... could I have a photo taken?"

"what?"

Qiu Qing's heart began to pound wildly, her heart pounding like a deer's.

"Uh, I feel like you're my lucky charm. I'm thinking of putting your picture in the convenience store."

Ye Xian scratched his head, looking rather embarrassed.

"Ye Xian!!! I'll bite you to death!"
