Xiao Bai finally stopped running when she reached the kindergarten gate.
"Xiao Bai," Chen Li Shu put down Cheng Yi and was about to reprimand Xiao Bai for her reckless behavior when the little girl suddenly turned her head, looking at her with clear eyes.
"Mom," Xiao Bai came to Chen Li Shu and grabbed her hand, saying enthusiastically, "Mom, this is my new friend at kindergarten, Jia Jia. Jia Jia, this is the mom I told you about. My mom cooks delicious food! Try it, it definitely won't disappoint you."
Chen Li Shu followed the direction of Xiao Bai's finger. It was a little girl with curly hair, looking like a doll. At that moment, she was holding a sausage and said with disbelief, "I've eaten this before, it's not as amazing as you say, Xiao Bai, you're lying!"
Hearing Jia Jia deny her words, Xiao Bai got anxious, "I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can try a bite. My mom specially processed this."
Seeing Xiao Bai's persistence, Jia Jia could only agree, "Alright." Then the girl took a small bite of the sausage. Her initially indifferent expression immediately became excited.
"How is it? Is it delicious!" Xiao Bai asked Jia Jia expectantly.
Watching the interaction between the two girls, Chen Li Shu smiled. She knew that fried sausages were very popular at the school gate. No child could resist them. She had watched her friend make a fortune selling fried sausages.
Just as Chen Li Shu was confident in her cooking skills, she heard a cry nearby. Following the sound, she saw that it was Jia Jia. The girl was crying and calling out, "Mom, Mom!"
This sudden situation stunned Chen Li Shu for a moment. What happened? Could it be that her cooking was too terrible? That shouldn't be the case. She had tasted the fried sausage herself. Even if it wasn't good, it shouldn't be so bad that she would cry so sadly.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of other parents. They surrounded Chen Li Shu, pointing and saying, "Doesn't this woman look a bit unfamiliar? Could she be a kidnapper trying to snatch a child?"
"I think so! Otherwise, why would this child cry so sadly? How dare she! She dares to snatch a child in broad daylight. Is she fearless?"
"What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and catch her. Don't let her escape, or our children will be next." After speaking, everyone looked at Chen Li Shu vigilantly.
Chen Li Shu wanted to explain when a stout woman rushed out of the crowd. She glared fiercely at Chen Li Shu and gritted her teeth, scolding, "Are you a kidnapper? Are you trying to abduct my daughter?"
"Mom!" Jia Jia cried and ran to the woman's side. The woman roughly wiped the tears from her face and comforted her, "It's okay, my dear daughter! Your mom is here. I will never let a kidnapper take you away."
"No..." Jia Jia, while crying, hiccupped. Seeing that these uncles and aunties were about to lay hands on Xiao Bai's mom, she quickly explained, "Mom, Auntie didn't abduct me. I just tasted the most delicious thing in the world and cried out of emotion."
Hearing this explanation, everyone present was stunned, their jaws dropping. Among so many people, Chen Li Shu was the most speechless. This little girl, just for a fried sausage, needed to... She probably wouldn't cry so sadly even if her own mom was in trouble! Chen Li Shu couldn't help but think to herself.
Others still found it a bit unbelievable that a child would cry like this just for tasting something delicious. They just thought Chen Li Shu had threatened the child. However, Qian Fei Er knew her daughter's personality better than anyone. She glared fiercely at Jia Jia and said through gritted teeth, "You useless thing." Then, with a look of guilt, she turned to the vigilant parents around her and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone. My daughter is always overly dramatic since she was little, causing you to misunderstand."
With that, Qian Fei Er came to Chen Li Shu again, firmly grabbed her hand, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You treated my daughter to something to eat, and you almost got misunderstood. I'm sorry."
Chen Li Shu was a bit unaccustomed to interacting with outsiders. She subtly withdrew her hand and gave an awkward smile, saying, "It's not a serious matter, it's okay."
"I'm sorry, comrade." After apologizing repeatedly, Qian Fei Er glared at Jia Jia and admonished her, "Can you stop being so dramatic? What good thing could make you cry and call for me?"
Jia Jia pouted aggrievedly. Hearing Qian Fei Er's question, she immediately extended her hand and offered the sausage in her hand to Qian Fei Er's mouth, saying, "It's this thing. Xiao Bai said her mom made it herself. Try it, Mom."
Qian Fei Er took a bite of the sausage in front of her, unwilling to believe it. After all, she was an adult who had seen the world and wouldn't be as dramatic as a child. However, she couldn't deny that after being fried, the sausage was crispy on the outside and still retained its sausage flavor on the inside. Its taste was unique and lingering.
"Mmm! It's really delicious," Qian Fei Er exclaimed with shining eyes.
The parents who had not yet left heard Qian Fei Er's words and came closer, asking with some confusion, "Is it really that delicious? Are you selling this thing, and you're saying this deliberately to make us buy it?"
"Exactly, exactly. It looks no different from ordinary sausages to me. If you're selling sausages, just tell us. We can buy some to try."
"..."
Hearing the doubts from the parents, Qian Fei Er quickly denied, "No! You say we are selling sausages. Then open your eyes and see if we have any sausages here? This is my first time meeting this parent!" After speaking, a flash of inspiration crossed Qian Fei Er's mind. She then looked at Chen Li Shu expectantly and asked, "Parent, are you selling this kind of roasted sausage? If so, I'd like to buy more."
She never expected the roasted sausage she made as a snack to be so popular. Chen Li Shu marveled again that if she had chosen the food industry back then, she might have become a legend in that industry.
Just as Chen Li Shu was lost in thought, she heard an anxious call, "Xiao Bai's mom, Xiao Bai's mom!"
Chen Li Shu quickly collected her thoughts and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm in the clothing industry and haven't ventured into the food industry yet, so I might disappoint you."
Hearing Chen Li Shu's answer, the light in Qian Fei Er's eyes dimmed considerably. She said, "I think Xiao Bai's mom is more suited for the food industry. If you sell fried sausages, I will become your loyal customer and visit your stall every day!"
