Chapter 92 Is It Too Much to Say Something Like That? Will I Be Struck by Lightning?
Several of the bosses were in the food industry, so they could easily analyze whether a stir-fried noodle dish was good or not. After comparing it with Master Zhong’s, they found that Lu Qin’s stir-fried noodles were indeed far superior.
Once they tasted it, each of them was amazed. Master Zhong also tasted it. The fresh, crisp, and charred flavor was something he had never experienced before.
Master Zhong noticed that the soy sauce used in the stir-fried noodles wasn’t ordinary soy sauce but a specially made one, which elevated the flavor to another level. The difference was huge. It was hard to surpass.
Master Zhong, feeling dejected, lowered his head and continued eating the noodles. As he ate, he realized the noodles were actually quite comforting. The other bosses were also praising the dish with exclamations of how delicious it was. Suddenly, one of them had an epiphany.
Wait, we decided earlier that even if it tastes good, we’d say it tastes bad, to teach this young boss a lesson, to let him know the cruelty of human nature... No, we should teach him a lesson!
What’s going on here?
It seems like the ones getting taught a lesson are us every time.
“What should we do? Should we say these noodles taste bad?”
“Just say the soy sauce is too much, that it’s greasy and cloying, that it’s hard to swallow, completely disgusting!”
“This feels wrong, I can’t say something like that!”
“Will we get struck by lightning?”
The few bosses muttered in low voices.
“Here you go, your twice-cooked pork is ready.”
“Twice-cooked pork!”
“Damn! Forget it! Let’s check the saltiness first!”
“The stir-fried noodles were indeed perfect, no flaws at all. Alright, let’s try the twice-cooked pork, if there’s anything wrong with it, I’ll criticize it to death!”
“I’m a fan of twice-cooked pork, I’m going to be super picky!”
Each of them took a slice of the twice-cooked pork and put it in their mouth.
In an instant, their taste buds exploded. Rich and fragrant, with a touch of spiciness and sweetness, it was fatty but not greasy.
“This... this twice-cooked pork is nothing like the usual ones! It’s so rich, it’s perfect! It’s so good it makes me want to call the police!”
“Oh my god! The taste... salty and flavorful, not dry, not greasy. The twice-cooked pork I had at Jing Shu Ge for 128 yuan per serving wasn’t even half as good as this!”
“Too bad there’s no rice, or I’d eat two plates of this pork with three big bowls of rice!”
The bosses of the small eateries were all praising the food while also feeling impressed by how delicious it was. Just earlier, they wanted to teach Lu Qin a lesson about the cruelty of human nature, but now they were thinking, Why does he make everything so delicious? Is he trying to bankrupt us?
Next came the chicken bean curd, princess chicken wings, and crystal shrimp dumplings, which left the bosses even more in awe. Every dish was incredibly delicious, at the top level.
After the meal, they gave up their shops and stalls and queued up for a second round, even joining Lu Qin’s WeChat group. They had previously been hoping that Old Liu would come back and reclaim the stall.
Now, they were thinking, Old Liu, why don’t you have a second child?
“Yao Yao, are you hungry?”
Lu Qin turned to ask. Lu Xiyao was sitting on a small stool, acting like a mascot.
It was a bit hot, so Lu Qin turned on the electric fan he had won in the system’s lottery, blowing it towards himself and the little one. The breeze felt comfortable, just like natural wind.
Having already eaten two bags of beef and one bag of hawthorn candy, Lu Xiyao looked up with big eyes and said, “I’m hungry.”
“How do you manage to say such nonsense with your eyes wide open?”
Lu Qin asked and shook his head with a smile.
The little one had eaten five crystal shrimp dumplings, then an apple and a banana, followed by some milk candy. After that, she had eaten various snacks. Her belly was already full, how could she still be hungry?
“Heehee~!”
The little one stuck out her tongue. She had wanted to eat a few pieces of twice-cooked pork, but her mouth wanted it, but her stomach refused. There was no way.
At 7:30 PM, Lu Qin packed up his stall. Since he had combined the afternoon and evening sessions, he had prepared enough ingredients for 300 servings as a base. However, many customers still didn’t get food.
This area was a bustling pedestrian street with a large flow of people, and the number of people in the queue was 50% higher than usual. His income was about 37,000 yuan, and system points were 2824.
Lu Qin was just about to take the little one home, give her a bath, and put her to bed, since she had to go to kindergarten tomorrow. But then he remembered tomorrow was Friday, and the kindergarten was hosting a parent-child activity. This reminded him of Shen Muyan.
He still had to remind her. She was always so busy that she might forget. Lu Qin took out his phone and opened WeChat.
Li Laoshi’s avatar had a red dot, indicating a group message.
[Tomorrow, all parents are asked to wear parent-child outfits. No other requirements.]
The message had been sent yesterday evening, and Lu Qin had forgotten to check it.
Parent-child outfits?
Lu Qin opened Shen Muyan’s WeChat and typed.
[Tomorrow is the kindergarten’s parent-child activity, don’t forget.]
Shen Muyan replied quickly, probably because she was on her phone.
[I know, what should we prepare?][Li Laoshi said we need to wear parent-child outfits.][Have you bought them?][Not yet.][Where are you now? Go buy them right now.]
...
Lu Qin rode his three-wheeled cart back home with the little one. After they washed their faces, Shen Muyan arrived and parked her bright red Porsche Macan in front of the house.
Shen Muyan was wearing a red tight-fitting dress that accentuated her slim waist. The hem of the dress swayed as she moved, revealing her long, fair legs. She wore a pair of red-bottomed high heels that highlighted the elegant curve of her calves. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her face, though without makeup, was as smooth as snow and incredibly beautiful.
Lu Qin was momentarily stunned, while Lu Xiyao, upon seeing Shen Muyan, ran over excitedly.
“Mom~! You look so pretty today~!”
“Wasn’t I pretty before?” Shen Muyan joked.
“Of course you were pretty~!”
The little one held Shen Muyan’s hand, and Shen Muyan promised to attend the parent-child activity tomorrow, which made the little one very happy.
Usually, at these activities, other kids had both parents, but for Lu Xiyao, only Lu Qin would attend. Tomorrow, they would finally be a family of three.
“You drive, I can’t drive in these high heels.”
Shen Muyan handed Lu Qin the car keys.
Lu Qin took the keys and glanced at Shen Muyan’s feet.
“How did you get here?”
“Without shoes.”
Shen Muyan’s calm voice said, then she led Lu Xiyao to the back seat.
Lu Qin paused for a moment, then sat in the driver’s seat.
If she knew she had to drive, why wear high heels?
The car drove to the underground parking garage of a shopping mall. The mall closed at 10 PM, so there was plenty of time to buy a set of parent-child outfits. The three of them took the elevator to the first floor. Their exceptionally high looks attracted quite a few stares.
“Mom, do you want to play with this 3D illusion space?”
The little one pointed to a few spaceship cabins, excitedly eager to try. The so-called 3D illusion space was just a VR experience setup, with a VR headset and a seat that shook.
Almost every mall has this type of area, with similar games like VR roller coasters or VR skiing. People who get motion sickness, fear heights, or are prone to dizziness couldn’t handle it, like Shen Muyan.
“Yao Yao, are you doing this on purpose?”
Lu Qin rubbed the little one’s face, giving her a slight punishment. He had told Lu Xiyao that Shen Muyan was afraid of heights and couldn’t play games like this. The little one had a good memory and wouldn’t forget.

So, it seemed the little one was doing this on purpose, just to see Shen Muyan’s awkward expression.
But...
It didn’t seem to work. Shen Muyan’s face was flawless, with no expression except for beauty.
