Chapter Seventeen: Destroying Her Venue

Page 1/3

Although the neighborhood was old, somewhat chaotic, lacking greenery, and had no recreational facilities, there was still a parking garage equipped with several hovering vehicles and some fully automatic small tricycles.

Jiang Suisui found parking spot number 239, where a silver-gray food truck was parked. Together with Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yueyi, she took cloths and cleaning agents and began scrubbing the truck inside and out with care.

Once it was spotless, they pasted on custom promotional posters and price lists, then decorated the truck with various small ornaments.

After an hour’s work, the once plain and unnoticed food truck transformed into a cute, pastel pink charm.

Jiang Suisui was very pleased. “Great, we can start selling tonight. Now, sister will take you both to Red Maple Park to exercise. How does that sound?”

Jiang Yueyi’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she waved her little hands. “Sounds great!”

Jiang Xingran simply pressed her lips together before nodding. “Okay, sister.”

The three left the garage and headed outside to catch a hovering bus.

The sky was clear and blue, with a refreshing breeze blowing.

Jiang Suisui jogged slowly, with the boundless energy of little Jiang Yueyi leaping ahead like a young mountain beast, and Jiang Xingran lagging behind, seeming like someone who had already retired and just wanted to relax.

She glanced ahead and then waited for those behind her intermittently.

After about twenty minutes, she told them to stop and rest on a nearby bench.

“Xingxing, Yueyue, do you see that vendor area over there? Let’s go take a look.”

At her words, Jiang Yueyi immediately sprang up and dashed ahead again.

Jiang Suisui walked slowly alongside the exhausted-looking Jiang Xingran, reminding Jiang Yueyi to slow down and wait.

This vendor zone was part of the night market, so there were few people around during the daytime.

After a short walk, Jiang Suisui stopped. “Xingxing, Yueyue, come over here. This will be our stall.”

They say that good spots have to be fought for, and since Red Maple Park attracted a fair crowd, there were only a few stalls left when Jiang Suisui was choosing.

This particular spot was one she had carefully compared and found quite suitable.

Although it was in the middle of the stall area, neither close to the entrance nor the exit, it was very near the rest area.

Visitors would wander around, buy things, and then sit down to eat and drink in the rest area.

Her food wasn’t very filling—just some fragrant fried crispy pork, tea eggs, or a cup of sour plum juice—which would be easy for visitors to pick up on a whim.

So she thought this location was quite good for her. Once she operated for a while and built a steady clientele, she could gradually diversify her offerings and sell more to earn more star coins!

By 10:30 a.m., Jiang Suisui took Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yueyi to stroll around a nearby mall.

She bought a set of oil pastels for Jiang Xingran and a pair of running shoes for Jiang Yueyi.

After shopping, the trio found a restaurant for lunch.

They ordered mushroom chicken, braised prawns, stir-fried king oyster mushrooms, and spinach egg soup.

Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yueyi both thought Jiang Suisui’s cooking was better, but not wanting to waste food, they quietly ate their fill.

On the way home, seeing the two little ones looking glum, Jiang Suisui found it somewhat amusing. “What’s wrong? Weren’t you always looking forward to eating out at a restaurant? Now that you’ve had a fancy meal, why aren’t you happy?”

Jiang Xingran shook her head. “It’s not tasty, doesn’t compare to the meals sister makes.”

Jiang Yueyi pouted, dejected. “Those dishes are greasy. I don’t like it.”

Actually, Jiang Suisui also found the lunch quite oily and average in taste.

Although she was full, she still felt uncomfortable.

So once home, she scooped three tea eggs from the rice cooker. “Here, eat the fragrant eggs you like.”

This time, Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yueyi had to peel their own shells.

Jiang Suisui didn’t spoil them either; the three sat cross-legged by the tea table, slowly peeling the tea eggs.

Unlike the tea eggs from last night, today’s eggs exuded a lingering, fresh tea aroma.

The tea fragrance added a refreshing note to the rich marinade, making the eggs taste even better.

Jiang Suisui was very satisfied and silently praised the system’s marketplace goods.

It seemed she would have to complete more tasks to earn points.

After eating, Jiang Suisui brewed some sour plum juice and marinated the crispy pork.

By dusk, Jiang Suisui started up the food truck, taking Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yueyi to Red Maple Park.

Luckily, the original owner had already gotten a driver’s license; otherwise, she would have had to delay and obtain one before driving.

The food truck had a cabin, perfect for the two little ones to stay inside.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at their stall smoothly and began setting up.

It was exactly eight in the evening, the sky darkened, and people gradually came to stroll through Red Maple Park.

One of them was Wu Chenchen.

After entering through the main gate of Red Maple Park, she began searching for Jiang Suisui’s stall.

However, since she hadn’t been to Red Maple Park often, she didn’t know there was a dedicated vendor area and wandered around like a headless fly.

One of her friends, tired of the wandering, complained, “Chenchen, why did you come here to Red Maple Park instead of the newly opened bar in Mirror Lake District? It’s spring, not autumn. There isn’t much to see here; it’s boring.”

Another friend, bored and disinterested, pouted. “Yeah, we’re only in our twenties, not retired at eighty. It’s rare to have a day off, and we’re spending it walking in a park? People would laugh if they heard that.”

In this star-era, the average lifespan of the new human species was 120 to 130 years, so the legal retirement age in the Huaxia Federation was eighty-five for men and eighty for women.

Listening to her friends disdainful of the park, Wu Chenchen felt the same.

She crossed her arms. “Alright, to be honest, there’s someone I really hate who’s selling stuff right here in this park. I want you to help me ruin her stall.”

Her two friends exchanged looks, clearly eager to watch a show.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier, Chenchen,” Zhang Xuan said, raising her chin. “Come with me. I lived in Qingshan District for a few years and have been to Red Maple Park several times. I know where the night market area is.”

Wu Chenchen hurriedly followed, mulling over how to make things difficult for Jiang Suisui.

She refused to believe that ordinary fried crispy pork could be so delicious that it would cause fights and competition.

Just empty boasting!

Seven or eight minutes passed.

Jiang Suisui never expected her first customer to be Wu Chenchen.

Still, she greeted politely, “Hello, what would you like? We have fried crispy pork, tea eggs, and sour plum juice.”

Wu Chenchen glanced at the spotless workstation, without a speck of grease.

Seeing no grounds to complain about cleanliness, she decided to attack the taste. “I’ll have a small portion of the fried crispy pork.”

Jiang Suisui nodded. “Okay, a small portion is twenty-five star coins. Here’s the StarNet payment code.”

Wu Chenchen asked her two friends, “What do you want? It’s on me.”

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and also ordered a small portion of fried crispy pork. Their other friend, Ding Haitao, said she was dieting and only wanted a cup of sour plum juice.

As the payment notification sounded, Jiang Suisui quickly began preparing the order.

Wu Chenchen pulled her two friends aside and whispered, “When it’s ready, you must say it tastes terrible, okay? Ideally, scare off any other customers wanting to order!”

Zhang Xuan and Ding Haitao nodded; as Wu Chenchen’s friends, they were naturally willing to help.

But just as they smirked and plotted how to sabotage the stall, an irresistibly enticing aroma of meat wafted toward them on the breeze.
