Chapter 801: New Snack Venture

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Er Hu finished speaking, Xiao Hu burst into tears.

Su Bing was reminded of his own tearful younger brother. He cleared his throat lightly and said, “Not having been to school is not a problem. If you want to learn, I can tutor you every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. I will also provide you with some books to read on your own. If you don’t understand something, just ask me.”

He paused before continuing, “You should continue your stall while studying. Selling only cakes won’t work. You need to learn more, sell snacks and drinks together. I can teach you that too. This way, you can keep your stall outside the school stable, without having to change locations. If Zhou Hua causes trouble again, just call the police. My only condition is that I get seventy percent of the earnings from the stall.”

The three boys seemed to have accepted Su Bing as their leader without hesitation. As Su Bing hurried home, the three cheerfully bid their leader goodbye. They were all impressed by his wisdom. With such a leader, they felt more confident about their future. They were sure things would only get better.

At the Su residence, when Su Li entered the house, Gu Zi noticed that he was alone and asked, “Didn’t your brother come back with you?”

Su Li, his mouth full of popcorn chicken made by his mother, chewed as he replied, “Brother had duty today, so he let me and Gao Ming come back first.”

Gu Zi remembered that the two brothers and Gao Ming would always wait for each other if one of them had duty. Why did Su Bing let the two younger ones leave first today?

Gu Zi wasn’t worried about Su Bing getting into trouble. She had read the original novel and knew Su Bing’s character well. He was highly intelligent and no one could harm him. Moreover, as the story progressed, his extraordinary intelligence would become more apparent.

In the original novel, Su Li and Su Le didn’t have good endings. They left Su Bing one after the other. Su Bing didn’t let the people who harmed them go. With his exceptional criminal talent, he committed a series of perfect crimes, avenging his siblings. In the end, he even became a globally renowned scientific researcher.

Every time Gu Zi recalled a part of the original story related to Su Bing, even though she knew it was just a novel, she couldn’t help but feel tense, her back cold.

Feeling a bit uneasy, Gu Zi took Su Le and left the house, instructing Su Li, “I’ll go pick up your brother. You stay home and watch the house.”

As Gu Zi stepped out of the house and reached the street corner, she saw Su Bing returning with his backpack. Su Bing quickened his pace and greeted his mother casually, “Mom, I’m back. Didn’t I tell my brother to tell you that I had duty today?”

With a sigh of relief, Gu Zi’s heart finally settled. She had been worried needlessly. It was merely his turn for duty. Perhaps she had been overthinking things. Su Bing had been spending more and more time alone lately, which she attributed to his rapid growth. Children at this stage indeed needed more personal space.

She quickly adjusted her mindset and said to Su Bing, “I was worried about you, so I came to pick you up. Let’s go home. I’ve made popcorn chicken and double-layered milk pudding for you today.”

Su Bing obediently nodded, following behind his mother. “Mom, can you teach me how to make double-layered milk pudding? It’s been a while since I learned something new. I want to learn.”

Gu Zi didn’t find anything unusual about his request and agreed, “We can start when we get home. I still have some ingredients left from making it earlier.”

Su Bing was a quick learner. That very night, he managed to make a smooth and tempting double-layered milk pudding.

The next morning, while waiting for the school gates to open, Su Bing managed to slip away from Su Li and Gao Ming. He then shared the recipe, ingredients, and utensils needed for the pudding with Da Hu. Da Hu, who also had a knack for cooking, added the new dessert to his small food stall outside the school that very afternoon.

However, they hadn’t had time to set up a proper stall, so Da Hu and his friends were selling the pudding from a makeshift stand. Following Su Bing’s advice, they offered samples for tasting. It wasn’t long before their small stand was surrounded by students. Soon, only one bowl of double-layered milk pudding was left.

At that moment, a chubby boy approached the stand. Er Hu recognized him as a regular customer. Despite the boy’s mother siding with the malicious Zhou Hua and berating them the day before, Er Hu believed it was the adults who were in the wrong. So, he gave the last sample to the boy. The boy was delighted, but his joy was short-lived as his mother rushed over, accusing, “You three troublemakers, how dare you show up here. Don’t eat that!”

The boy’s mother tried to snatch the food from his hand, but he quickly swallowed it. He then squatted down, hugging his mother’s leg and began to cry, “Mom, I want to buy this! I want this, and if I can’t have it, I won’t go home!”

The woman was at a loss. Her son was her only child, and the entire family doted on him. When he threw a tantrum, she was helpless.

Seeing her hesitation, Da Hu quickly explained, “Madam, the police officer came yesterday and made Teacher Zhou compensate us. So, who do you think is really at fault here?”
