Xu Nanjin swept the floor and listened to the interaction between the father and daughter. She quickly said, “What about me?”

Everybody paid by mobile phones these days, and there was no need for a cashier.

Xu Mo didn’t know what she could do, so he said, “I’ll start a live stream. Just help me supervise it.”

“Ah, I’ve never done it before.”

Xu Nanjin was dumbfounded. This meant that she had nothing to do.

She also had hands and feet. How was her unnecessary?

“Xu Mo, why don’t I wash the dishes?”

Although it was a little greasy, at least there was something to do.

Xu Mo said, “We use disposable boxes. There’s no need to wash them.”

“Then I’ll throw out the trash.”

“Let’s throw it after business.”

“I’ll advertise for you by shouting.”

“You won’t. You wouldn’t dare.”

“Who said that? I’ll shout it for you now.”

“Okay.”

Xu Nanjin faced the road and looked at the crowd coming and going. She couldn’t say anything for a long time.

After five minutes, her face was red, but she still didn’t open her mouth.

In the end, she had no choice but to say dejectedly, “Fine. I’ll do a live stream.”

Xu Mo smiled. Why was she so cute?

Though curious about what she’d been through, he decided to wait for her to say it herself.

“So I’ll get the materials now. You guys in the store or with me?”

Xiao Ke immediately pounced on him and hung on. “Daddy, I’m coming too.”

The adorable kid held out her hand again. It melted his heart.

Xu Mo picked her up high and said, “Okay, let’s go together.”

Xiao Ke let out a tinkling laugh in midair, bringing with it the scent of joy.

After locking the door with one hand, the three of them went to the market.

He bought two bags of rice, a couple of hundred eggs, some ham sausages, and enough carrots and spring onions.

The boss delivered the rice and eggs for him. He walked back with the ham sausage in his left hand and the carrot in his right.

Xiao Ke followed, clutching a handful of onions.

Xu Nanjin felt that it wasn’t good to be empty-handed. She had just said that she wanted to take the ham sausage, but Xu Mo had rejected her.

So she took the onions from Xiao Ke’s hand. “Let Mommy do this, Xiao Ke. Don’t tire yourself out.”

The feeling between her and Xu Mo was still very unfamiliar. He was not as close as her daughter was to her.

Xiao Ke immediately took two carrots out of Xu Mo’s bag. “Daddy, let me lighten your load.”

Xu Nanjin took out a few carrots from the bag like her daughter.

Xu Mo looked back at her daughter. The fresh carrots were placed on the top of her head like two horns.

“Xiao Ke is so cute. Aren’t you a little rabbit today? You have to eat carrots.”

At her father’s words, Xiao Ke realized what was happening.

She was a cute little bunny today. She nodded happily. “Yes, I love carrots.”

She remotely bit the carrot. “Daddy, it’s so sweet.”

“Then you can have the first egg fried rice Dad makes tonight.”

Xu Mo wanted to hug her. It was a pity that his hands were full of things.

But these were the cornerstones of his good life. He was going to hold on to them.

As long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to earn money with the secret manuals given by the system.

Xiao Ke waved happily. “Then I want to eat with Mommy.”

Xu Nanjin felt terrible. Why was only her daughter thinking of her?

Actually, she was panicking when she came to look for Xu Mo.

What if he didn’t want to talk to her? What if he didn’t want his daughter either?

People nowadays lived under so much pressure, and he didn’t have a house or a car. It was difficult for him.

Together with the two of them, they would probably have nothing to eat.

Although they had already chatted online, the two of them had not talked properly in real life.

Moreover, they basically didn’t talk about real-life problems online. Because they liked the same show, they added each other as friends.

She was a little depressed. She could not tell that Xu Mo liked her at all.

‘I suppose he’s willing to accept me because of his daughter.’

Xu Mo was still chatting with his daughter and didn’t pay much attention to Xu Nanjin’s situation.

When they arrived at the shop, Xu Mo opened the door.

It was getting late. If they didn’t cook the rice now, they wouldn’t be able to open for business tonight.

As soon as he put the stuff down, the rice and eggs arrived.

He placed the items in the shop and found a pair of scissors to open the rice bag.

On the first day of opening, Xu Mo thought that the situation might not be that good, so he only planned to make one pot.

The rice cooker was very big and could roughly make 70 to 80 servings.

He had spent a few hundred yuan on materials today. Even if he sold all of them, he wouldn’t make much money.

But since it was the first day, it was more important to make a good start.

As long as people came to eat and told other people how delicious the food was, the business would boom and making money was not a problem.

Xu Nanjin asked nervously, “Why don’t I cut the vegetables?”

“Do you know how to do that?”

“No, but I can learn.”

“It’s too late. Let me do it.”

“…”

Xu Nanjin was so frustrated that she almost wanted to hide in a corner and whimper.

Xiao Ke grabbed the carrot and cupped her big cute bunny ears. Who said she didn’t look like a little bunny?

“Daddy, can I help you wash the carrots?”

Xu Mo stroked her little head and smiled exceptionally warmly. “Daddy will wash them with you.”

The carrots were washed and cut into cubes. For the time being, there were only pickled carrots as side dishes.

They had been in the shop to begin with. He tried them and they tasted good.

Xu Mo was busy. Xu Nanjin finally found something she could do.

That was to deal with the live stream.

She’d never done this before. She hadn’t even watched many live streams.

However, she understood the current trend and was willing to learn.

She downloaded the most popular short video platform and registered an account. Then, she opened the learning video and started setting it up.

After doing the basic settings, she realized that there was no phone stand and she could only hold it.

Or put it on the shelf, facing Xu Mo.

It didn’t take long to finish all this. Seeing her daughter busy running errands, she wanted to help.

Though the table had been wiped over and the floor swept, she redid it.

The sun had set. The street lamps and shop lights had long ago merged into a river of stars.

The mobile stalls in the front row had been set up and the crowd moved slowly towards them.

Xu Mo also pushed his cart out. It seemed that the place in front was his.

The rice was ready and fragrant.

The night market had just started and there weren’t many people yet.

Seeing his daughter busy for so long, Xu Mo asked, “Xiao Ke, are you hungry?”

She nodded, her rabbit ears flicking. “Daddy, I’m hungry.”

“Okay, you can have the first egg fried rice Daddy makes.”

He scooped a bowl of rice and mixed it with condiments according to the secret manual given by the system.

Start the fire, pour the oil.

The fire roared, boiling the oil. He then poured the egg mixture.

With a sizzle, the egg swelled into a beautiful flower.

An explosive fragrance wafted over, making one’s appetite grow.

Xu Mo skillfully fried it and scooped it out. He added carrot mince and ham sausage and continued frying.

The fire burned brighter, but it was just right. The scent of crushed carrots and ham was even more tasty.

The fragrance that wafted out made Xiao Ke drool.

Finally, he poured the mixed rice and eggs into the wok and stir-fried. The few flavors fused and the fragrance spread.

The spatula turned quickly. The rice connected all the flavors. Every grain of rice was filled with the sauce.

Finally, he put in the green onions and scooped them out. A bowl of fragrant egg fried rice was ready.
