w.a.n.g Shuli exclaimed without hesitation, “It must be an affair or he never loved you. After all, there are no decent guys out there.”
Lu Shu hesitated for a moment and cleared his throat, “Ahem, can you not be so pessimistic? I think that your boyfriend is dead.”
w.a.n.g Shuli, “???”
He Hui, “???”
“From w.a.n.g Shuli’s distress, +188!”
“From He Hui’s distress, +588!”
For some reason, w.a.n.g Shuli thought that Lu Shu was special and that he had some kind of unique quality.
Despite his background, he carried himself with an unknown confidence and strength.
But to say he was someone of importance, he had a too down to earth vibe.
The atmosphere was awkward…
Grrrr, w.a.n.g Shuli’s tummy grumbled. She must be hungry…
w.a.n.g Shuli’s face turned red from the embarra.s.sment, “The snacks were finished in the afternoon…”
Lu Shu was thinking that since he and Lu Xiaoyu wouldn’t get hungry, and that w.a.n.g Shuli and company had treated them kindly, he should share some food with them.
Lu Xiaoyu kept the potato chips while the biscuits and other food were given to w.a.n.g Shuli. In the end, the aunties had their own food while w.a.n.g Shuli and company had Lu Shu’s help.
Everyone except Yuan Liantuo and company had food to eat…
“From Yuan Liangtuo’s distress, +99…”
From the looks of it, everyone would have to spend the night on the bus and Lu Xiaoyu tugged on Lu Shu’s sleeve, “Lu Shu, aren’t you able to create crepes? We can sell crepes here!”
“I can’t create crepes!” Lu Shu replied.
“Haha,” Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Shu skeptically.
“Crepes are impossible and stop looking at me like that! However, there’s stinky tofu…”
“Haha…”
Although he denied the fact that he could create crepes, Lu Xiaoyu’s words reminded Lu Shu of something else. He had not been selling stinky tofu for the past few days but he was still entering the lottery to obtain his daily Chi fruits.
Which meant that the stinky tofu had been acc.u.mulated to a rather large amount!
Lu Shu estimated that over the past 4 days, he had acc.u.mulated over 200 servings of stinky tofu! Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to earn money?!
Seeing that the traffic jam stretched over a few kilometers, not everyone in these cars had emergency food. 200 servings of stinky tofu wouldn’t even be enough!
But he could keep entering the lottery. Although the maximum amount of chi he could handle a day was two chi fruits, he could store the extra fruits inside his inventory.
Whenever there was a traffic jam on the highway, nearby villagers would use the opportunity to earn a handsome sum. But there weren’t any nearby villages around the Qingzhou’s highway which created the perfect opportunity for Lu Shu.
But the problem was the storage of this stinky tofu. He couldn’t possibly churn out 200 servings of stinky tofu from thin air.
Lu Shu really wanted to earn this money but before he could carefully think out a plan, Lu Xiaoyu was worried, “Will we be able to sell the stinky tofu?”
Lu Shu replied gleefully, “Don’t worry. To what do we owe our success to?”
Lu Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, “Being sly?”
Lu Shu, “???”
…
It was already 10+pm and night as the darkness enveloped the entire lake area. The drivers were exhausted after a day of grumbling and everyone returned to their vehicles to rest.
Li Zimo sat inside his car alone with his car engine turned off. Who knew when this jam would end so he had to save his petrol.
At this moment, Li Zimo received a call as he answered, “h.e.l.lo?”
“Son, having fun on your holiday? When will you be back?”
Li Zimo glanced at the long queue in front of him, “Erm, it’s fun. I’ll be back in a few days.”
He was used to reporting only good news and not bad news. Telling your parents about your troubles outside would only cause them unnecessary worry and they might even be able to help.
“Son, I heard that the road to Chaka Salt Lake is severely jammed. So try to avoid it.”
Li Zimo let out a bitter smile, I’m already here… And to make things worse, he did not prepare any emergency food and was about to faint from the hunger!
Knock Knock, Li Zimo turned around and was greeted by someone wearing a cap with his face hidden by a T-s.h.i.+rt with a robotic cat printed on it knocking on his car window.
The other party was carrying a small backpack which seemed rather unusual.
Li Zimo hung up on his mother as he rolled the car window down, “Brother, why are you selling DVDs here? How much for one?”
His car had a DVD player…
“What DVD…” Lu Shu mumbled and asked through the T-s.h.i.+rt, “I’m here to sell freshly made stinky tofu!”
“From Li Zimo’s distress, +199!”
“I’m not judging but do you have to dress up like this?” Li Zimo was shocked.
“I don’t have a stall license,” Lu Shu explained but Li Zimo was still skeptical.
“How much?” Li Zimo asked.
“50!” Lu Shu answered calmly.
“That’s crazy! One serving for stinky tofu for 50 dollars, you might as well rob a bank!”
“I am robbing…”
“I don’t know what to say…”
“From Li Zimo’s distress, +110!” Li Zimo finally understood why this sc.u.m had covered his face. He must be afraid of being remembered and suffer a beating in the future.
In fact, Lu Shu was afraid that someone might realize his unlimited supply of stinky tofu.
But there shouldn’t be anyone who’s this bored and everyone was in their own cars. After selling a few cars ahead, those in the back would not be able to see him anymore.
Asking from car to car may be troublesome but it was a much safer option. One serving of stinky tofu would normally sell for 5 dollars but now, 50 dollars.
Such an opportunity wouldn’t come by so easily and Lu Shu was determined to make use of it.
And another important point was that this business would generate a lot of distress points!
