Chapter 197 Two Little Red Flowers

Monday morning.

Lin Chen opened his eyes as his phone alarm rang.

His eyes were clear, without the slightest trace of the grogginess of someone who had just woken up.

I turned my head and glanced at the person next to me. Tangtang was sleeping soundly.

The two little red flowers that were stuck on the back of the little girl's chubby hands last night are still bright.

Lin Chen threw off the covers, tiptoed out of bed, and left the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

After a quick wash, he went straight into the kitchen.

It's a new week, and Tangtang is going to kindergarten today, so she must eat a good breakfast.

Lin Chen worked quickly, and in less than twenty minutes, a stack of golden and soft scallion and egg pancakes was served on the table, accompanied by three bowls of steaming freshly squeezed soy milk.

"Bang bang bang".

I had just set out the dishes when there was a knock on the security door.

Lin Chen opened the door.

Wang Hai stood outside the door. Although he had been up until midnight last night, he still looked very energetic today.

"Good morning, Brother Chen!"

As Wang Hai changed his shoes, he sniffed the air, and his eyes instantly lit up. "It smells so good!"

Scallion and egg pancakes with soy milk?

Brother Chen, my skills at sneaking in meals at the perfect time are getting better and better!

"Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Lin Chen spoke up.

"Alright!"

Wang Hai went to the restroom.

Lin Chen turned around, walked to the bedroom door, and pushed it open.

Tangtang was still fast asleep on the bed.

Lin Chen sat down on the edge of the bed and gently pinched his daughter's soft little face.

"Tangtang, wake up."

Lin Chen said in a gentle voice.

"Well……"

Tangtang mumbled something, rolled over, and unconsciously rubbed her eyes with her little hands.

Her big eyes slowly opened, and her first reaction wasn't to look for her father, but to immediately look down at the back of her hand.

Upon seeing the two little red flowers, Tangtang immediately flashed a sweet smile.

Good morning, Dad!

"Tangtang called out in her childish voice."

Good morning. You have to go to kindergarten today, so get up and eat breakfast.

Lin Chen picked up Tangtang and skillfully helped her change into her kindergarten uniform.

Tangtang obediently cooperated, and as soon as she heard it was time for breakfast, her stomach rumbled.

When the father and daughter came out of the bedroom, Wang Hai was already sitting at the dining table, eagerly waiting.

"Good morning, squad leader!"

Wang Hai greeted him cheerfully.

Good morning, Uncle Fatty!

Tangtang ran to the bathroom with her short legs, stood on a small stool, and skillfully brushed her teeth and washed her face.

After washing up, the three of them sat around the dining table.

"Awoo!"

Tangtang held the scallion pancake in both hands and took a big bite.

The rich aroma of eggs filled the air, and the little girl's big eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she ate.

"Daddy's pancakes are so delicious!"

"Eat more and drink the soy milk."

Lin Chen took out a piece of paper and wiped the crumbs from his daughter's mouth.

Wang Hai on the other side had already entered a whirlwind attack mode.

"Brother Chen, that's amazing!"

Wang Hai devoured a pancake in a few bites, then took a big gulp of soy milk. "With this skill, even if we opened a breakfast shop downstairs, we'd probably have long lines every day!"

Lin Chen ate his breakfast calmly without responding, and simply instructed, "Eat quickly, and after delivering Tangtang, go straight to the morning market to buy more goods."

"clear!"

Wang Hai nodded repeatedly and quickened his eating pace.

A cozy breakfast quickly came to an end.

Lin Chen put the bowl and chopsticks into the sink, then turned around and grabbed his car keys.

"Tangtang, put on your little backpack and let's go."

Lin Chen put a yellow kindergarten backpack on his daughter's back.

"Set off!"

Tangtang happily raised her little hand.

The three of them went downstairs and got into the van.

Wang Hai was driving a van.

The streets were a bit congested during the morning rush hour, with cars moving in and out, but the atmosphere inside the car was relaxed.

More than half an hour later, the car came to a steady stop outside the gate of Sunshine Kindergarten.

A large group of parents were gathered at the entrance, dropping off their children, chattering excitedly.

Lin Chen opened the car door and carried Tangtang out.

"Listen to your teacher at kindergarten and eat well."

Lin Chen straightened his daughter's collar and gently gave her some instructions.

"Okay!"

Tangtang nodded obediently, turned to look at Wang Hai in the driver's seat, waved her little hand, and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Fatty!"

You and Daddy need to work hard to earn money!

"Don't worry, squad leader!"

Uncle Fatty promises to cut meat incredibly fast today!

Wang Hai rolled down the car window and responded cheerfully.

"Goodbye, Daddy! Remember to pick me up early this afternoon!"

Tangtang waved to Lin Chen, turned around, and walked briskly into the kindergarten gate with the teacher in charge.

Lin Chen watched his daughter's small figure disappear around the corner before turning back to his car.

"Brother Chen, shall we go to the farmers' market?"

Wang Hai asked.

"Walk."

Lin Chen closed the car door.

The bread truck headed straight for the farmers' wholesale market.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the morning market was bustling with activity.

The tricycles carrying goods and the vendors haggling over prices create a vibrant, everyday atmosphere.

Wang Hai parked the car in the usual spot, and the two of them walked into the market with practiced ease.

"Buy the side dishes and rice first."

Lin Chen planned his route as he walked.

The two arrived at the grain and oil section. "Boss, Wuchang rice, three bags, eighty jin each."

Lin Chen walked to the familiar shop, quick and decisive.

Since minced meat rice has become a staple on the menu, the amount of rice consumed must be enormous.

"Okay, Boss Lin!"

The boss loaded the rice onto the cart. "Same as always, I'll deliver it directly to the bread cart later."

After paying, the two turned and went to the vegetable section.

I bought plenty of free-range eggs and fresh scallions for fried rice, as well as Shanghai bok choy to help cut through the richness of the minced meat rice.

After loading all the side dishes into the car, the two headed towards the meat wholesale area.

As soon as they arrived at Old Zhang's pork stall, Old Zhang, who was cutting meat with a boning knife, recognized them at a glance.

"Hey! Boss Lin, Boss Wang, you're here!"

Old Zhang immediately put down his knife, his face crinkling with laughter, wiped his hands on his apron, and came forward.

Yesterday, Lin Chen bought ninety catties of premium pork in one go, making him Old Zhang's biggest customer this month.

"Boss Lin, how much are you planning to take today?"

Old Zhang pointed to the half-pig that had just been delivered to the cutting board, "This meat is the freshest today. I've saved the pork belly and foreleg meat for you!"

Do we need another 90 jin?

Or should we just get 100 pounds to round it up?

In Lao Zhang's opinion, these two people's business was ridiculously good on the weekend, and today's volume would definitely be even greater.

Wang Hai, who was standing next to Lin Chen, also turned to look at him, waiting for the boss to give the order.

Lin Chen glanced at the pork to confirm its freshness.

"Take sixty catties."

Lin Chen looked at Old Zhang and spoke.

"Sixty jin?"

Old Zhang was stunned for a moment.

Wang Hai, standing nearby, was also slightly taken aback. He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Chen, yesterday ninety catties weren't enough to sell, and today it's only sixty catties. Isn't that too little?"

Today is Monday.

Lin Chen glanced at Wang Hai and said calmly, "Weekends are for family gatherings, and weekdays are for solo evening rush hour after get off work."

Sixty pounds is just right.

A few simple words, hitting the nail on the head.

Wang Hai's mind raced, and he suddenly realized the truth.

"Got it!"

"Brother Chen, you've thought things through very well!"

Mondays are busy with office workers, so we'll proceed steadily, guaranteeing at least 60 pounds to sell, and absolutely no waste!

Although Old Zhang across the street didn't understand what "evening rush hour" meant, sixty jin was still a big order.

"Hey, 60 pounds is a big order!"

Old Zhang grabbed the knife. "Boss Lin is right. Business is different every day. It's better to be cautious!"

I'll cut it for you right now!

"Knock knock knock!"

Old Zhang cut off the premium pork belly and foreleg meat and weighed them.

"He weighs exactly sixty pounds!"

"Both bosses, take a look!"

Old Zhang pointed to the electronic scale.

"Pack it up."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Ding! WeChat payment received, 2700 yuan."

Lin Chen quickly and efficiently scanned the code to pay.

Old Zhang divided the 60 jin of chopped pork into two sturdy black plastic bags and handed them to Wang Hai.

"Take care, you two! Send me a WeChat message in advance if you need any quantity tomorrow, and I'll prepare it for you!"

Old Zhang waved enthusiastically.

"Alright, see you later!"

Wang Hai picked up two large bags of pork and responded cheerfully.

The two walked out of the farmers' market and came to the roadside.

"Bang."

Wang Hai put the pork into the trunk of the van, stacking it together with rice and vegetables.

Lin Chen got into the passenger seat.

"Brother Chen, it's all installed!"

Wang Hai drove his van towards the urban village.
