Chapter 25,Part 3: — Selling Steamed Buns - Lin Bun Shop Now Open!
Of course Zhou Dazhi would not know that it was he himself who harmed him.
A tobacco shop with a lot of goods, but there was no surveillance system installed.
This in itself was already highly questionable.
Therefore, Lin Cheng asked Wang Yu to arrange for someone to check the volume of sales of tobacco and alcohol in the nearby area, as well as the formal operating rights and actual delivery volume obtained by Zhou Dazhi’s store, and he readily found an abnormality.
Lin Cheng glanced at the time and handed the follow-up matters over to Wang Yu. He returned to his and Lin Momo’s temporary residence.
Back home, the girl was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Lin Cheng walked over, took out the 11 yuan from his pocket and placed it next to Lin Momo.
… …
Early the next morning, when Lin Momo woke up and was still half-asleep, she saw a small stack of change next to her hand. She blinked sleepy eyes.
Lin Momo was taken aback, rubbed her eyes, and confirmed several times: she was not mistaken, this was indeed money.
The next second, Lin Momo woke up completely from her doze and ran to the kitchen clutching the money.
At this time, Lin Cheng was already making preparations for selling steamed buns in the kitchen.
Lin Momo ran up behind Lin Cheng and called him twice, “Dad! Dad! Why is there 11 yuan on the sofa?!”
She held out her hand to show him.
Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Momo and said calmly, “The owner of the tobacco shop in the vegetable market stole your money before, so now he paid you back.”
“Really?!” Lin Momo’s eyes lit up, her face suffused with joy and excitement, but upon thinking about it, she couldn’t believe that that person would really pay her back.
“Why would he pay me back?” Lin Momo asked.
“Because you didn’t steal anything from him in the first place, and this money was originally yours— you earned it by selling paper and bottles,” Lin Cheng said in a firm tone.
Hearing Lin Cheng’s words, Lin Momo smiled and nodded vigorously, “Yes, I really earned the money myself!”
But… “How did this happen…” How did I get the money back? Lin Momo muttered softly.
Faced with the child’s need to know, Lin Cheng had a headache, but knowing that she couldn’t be fooled by just a few words, he had no choice but to say, “After you fell asleep last night, I helped you deal with it.”
“Where’s the boss?” Lin Momo continued to ask about this matter.
“The boss did something bad, made a mistake, and was taken away by the police.” Lin Cheng explained succinctly.
Hearing this, Lin Momo instinctively thought that the ‘bad thing’ and ‘mistake’ that Lin Cheng mentioned was because the boss framed her and tied her up, so she nodded seriously.
If you do something wrong, you should of course be punished. Lin Momo didn’t sympathize with that boss at all.
Clutching the recovered 11 yuan tightly in her hand, Lin Momo giggled ‘hee hee’, happy in her heart.
Seeing the girl’s joyful appearance, Lin Cheng’s mouth curved in an almost imperceptible way.
“Carefully store the money away otherwise someone from the program team will come and collect it for you,” Lin Cheng reminded.
At this time, the day was still dark, and the program staff and the recording cameraman hadn’t arrived yet.
Because Lin Momo slept on the sofa yesterday, Lin Cheng covered the cameras facing the sofa. At this time, neither of them was wearing a recording device, so they didn’t worry about the 11 yuan—the ‘illegal’ asset—would be found out.
Hearing Lin Cheng’s reminder, Lin Momo’s face turned serious. She looked around and nervously hid the money.
Lin Momo ran to a corner and secretly folded the money into the sleeve of her clothes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and ran back to Lin Cheng again.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
“Washing the steamer,” Lin Cheng replied.
“I’ll help you!”
“No need.” This steamer was big and not light at all; it wasn’t something Lin Momo could handle.
Realizing that the girl hasn’t left her position behind him, Lin Cheng thought for a while and put the now washed steamer on the table and gave her a clean, dry towel.
“Wipe the water off, then put the buns in, one and a half buns apart.”
The buns had been prepared by Lin Cheng last night and only needed to be steamed on the stove. They should be just cooked by the time they reach the breakfast stall market by the bridge.
“Okay!” Lin Momo responded.
With Lin Momo’s help, the speed of preparation has increased a lot.
When the camera crew arrived, the father and daughter had already made all the preparations necessary before departure.
At 5:30 am, just after dawn, the father and daughter rode out with their mobile steamed bun shop.
Their stall set-up area was within the designated lines at the foot of Xisha Bridge.
When the two arrived, the entire Xisha Bridge was already filled with various breakfast stalls.
The golden section—front and center—was already fully occupied, so the two had no choice but to find a small spot in the second row between the ‘pancake stand’ and the ‘fried dough stick and soy milk stand’.
Lin Momo looked enviously at the stall in front of them and tugged at Lin Cheng’s sleeve.
“Dad, let’s come early tomorrow.”
Their stall time was from 4 am to 10 am, and now it is already past 6 o’clock, which meant that a good chunk of time has passed.
“Yes,” Lin Cheng nodded.
At this time, the steamed buns on the top most layer have been properly steamed. Lin Cheng took off the top steamer and brought it to the small table, covered half of it with gauze and left the other half exposed, so that people could know that they were selling steamed buns.
Lin Momo, on the other hand, stood solemnly behind the counter, holding the box for collecting money and a small card with a QR code that people could scan in exchange for a steamed stuffed bun. The owner of the printing shop at the entrance of the alley had made it for them, and she has now become Little Boss Lin.
The Lin father and daughter steamed bun shop stand has officially opened!
