The rice in the cooker was almost finished. There were still a few people in line.

Then a few more people arrived. “I could smell the aroma at the intersection. Cook me a piece.”

“You and I have years of experience as foodies. This is definitely good. I want it, too.”

Xu Mo smiled and said, “Sorry, there’s no more food for today. Please come back tomorrow.”

The remaining food was only enough for the few people in front of him. It was definitely not enough for the new arrivals.

They were disappointed to hear the result.

They were too tempted to leave.

So they turned to discuss with the people in the line. “Friend, I haven’t eaten in three days. Can I have a bite?”

“Good buddy, I’ll give you thirty bucks. You can have two pieces tomorrow, okay?”

“Hey, isn’t this my classmate I’ve never met? I’ll treat you to skewers tomorrow. How about letting me have the egg fried rice today?”

However, no one cared. They waved their hands and insisted on their stand.

Was this a joke? How could they give up the Egg Fried Rice that was already in their mouth to someone else!

The few of them lingered for a while before leaving.

After the last serving was done, Xu Mo could finally call it a day.

With the help of the Spirit Pill, he did not feel tired.

However, he saw that Xu Nanjin seemed to be tired. She sat at the side and massaged her calf.

Xiao Ke had rested well in the afternoon. But she was almost exhausted too.

Xu Mo felt a little guilty. How could he let them accompany him so late at night?

He looked at the clock. It was after ten.

It began a little after six and he sold three hundred pieces in less than five hours.

He suddenly felt that this speed was not fast enough. He had to continue improving tomorrow.

When he got busy, he didn’t have time to care about anything else. He would think of a way to wrap up early tomorrow.

The last few customers sighed as they left. “We’re so lucky. If we were a step later, we wouldn’t have been able to eat such delicious egg fried rice.”

“I want to be the first one tomorrow, or I won’t get to eat it.”

“What time are you open tomorrow, boss? I’m afraid I’ll be late.”

Xu Mo thought for a moment and said, “Try to come before ten. If you like it, you can come early tomorrow.”

The night snack business usually lasted until three or four in the morning. Would it be too early for him to finish at ten?

But they didn’t think further. They nodded.

It was fine as long as they could eat it. Who cared what time it’s closed?

Xu Mo packed the stuff in, then cleaned the ground and sorted out a few bags of trash.

Xu Nanjin came over to help and dragged a bag towards the trash disposal station with difficulty.

She hadn’t done these jobs since she was born, but she was willing to for the sake of living.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly felt that her hand was lighter. She turned around and realized that it was Xu Mo.

He took the bag from her and she said, “You’ve already got two in your hands. Let me do it.”

Xu Mo took it forcefully and said gently, “You’ve been busy all night. Go and rest first. We’ll go back immediately.”

She wanted to continue carrying it, but Xu Mo said domineeringly, “Let me do it. Stand here and don’t move, or go back and sit and wait for me.”

Xu Nanjin obediently pursed his lips and walked back.

Their positions were near the front. The two places were only a hundred meters apart.

She turned around and saw Xiao Ke sitting there obediently. She waved happily when she saw her return.

“Mom, Dad is so amazing. He can do so many things alone.”

Xu Nanjin smiled and nodded. She suddenly remembered that the live stream had not been turned off.

She stood in front of the screen and politely said that she would turn off the live stream.

Today, however, to her surprise, someone had sent a lot of gifts.

After checking the other party’s information, she immediately became nervous.

Xu Mo returned and said happily, “Let’s pack up and go home.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it shocked the dazed Xu Nanjin. She almost dropped her phone.

Xu Mo asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

‘She looks as if she’s tired. She’s not broken, is she?’

Xu Nanjin frantically pushed her hair back and pretended to be calm. “I’m fine. Let’s go home.”

Xiao Ke caught her look and asked nervously, “Mommy, what happened?”

‘Mom must have found out something. Why didn’t she tell Dad?’

Xu Nanjin forced a smile and said, “I’m fine. I was just a little tired, so I didn’t hold my phone properly.”

Xiao Ke relaxed. Her mother’s smile meant she was fine.

The newly rented house wasn’t far from here, but it was still a ten-minute walk back.

Xu Mo thought about it and decided to take a taxi back. His wife and daughter were tired.

Seeing him reach out to stop the taxi, Xu Nanjin held his hand and said, “We can just walk back. It’s not far.”

Of course she couldn’t spend so much hard-earned money.

Xu Mo said, “But you’re both tired. The distance is not long. It won’t cost much.”

“No,” Xu Nanjin said firmly. “Save as much as we can. A piece of egg fried rice is only 15 yuan.

“If we take a taxi every day, it would cost us a few servings of egg fried rice a day.

“You work so hard, I don’t want to waste it.”

Xu Mo’s heart warmed at her understanding.

Although the two of them had only briefly fallen in love and had not been in contact for several years, she had raised Xiao Ke so well. The girl was obedient and lovely.

He knew how difficult it was to have a child. Xu Nanjin had endured alone for four years.

Now, she had spent so much effort to find him and married him without asking for anything.

He felt that the heavens were too good to him .They actually allowed him to have such a great woman.

Even now, she felt sorry for him and couldn’t bear to spend the money.

Xu Mo felt that he should treat her even better. He said firmly, “It’s just a taxi. Don’t mind this small sum of money.”

At the same time, he was silently calculating in his heart. He would start cooking more tomorrow and sell it for more money.

The profits from egg fried rice were good. He could buy a car in two months.

He reached for a taxi and the three of them got in.

Xiao Ke yawned silently, but she hadn’t forgotten what she had to do this evening.

After returning home, Xu Nanjin was indeed tired. She sat on the couch and couldn’t stand up.

Seeing that she was so tired, Xu Mo wanted to bathe Xiao Ke to relieve her burden, but he was rejected.

“Daddy can’t bathe me because I’m a girl. Mommy says no.”

Xu Mo nodded seriously. His daughter had gender awareness at such a young age. Xu Nanjin had taught her well.

He nodded. “All right, then. Mommy will have to wash you.”

Xu Nanjin stood up from the couch. Although she had only rested for a few minutes, she felt much more energetic.

She pulled her daughter into the bathroom. Soon there was the sound of running water.

Xu Mo sat on the couch, feeling energetic.

The system’s products were good. He was not tired even after a busy night.

He opened the system to check and found an additional point panel.

1,000 servings of egg fried rice could earn him 10 points. He was still a few hundred servings short.

He could exchange rice and eggs for the time being. After that, he would not have to spend money to buy them.

There were still many empty spots at the back. He should wait until he obtained other culinary manuals in the future.

Xiao Ke came out very quickly, her hair wet. She hugged him and said, “Daddy, Mommy is bathing in there. Help me dry my hair.”

Xu Mo was stunned. She didn’t seem to have taken any clothes.
