Chapter 37: Watching Him Earn Money Was Worse Than Losing Money Myself

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Mo didn’t understand the situation for a moment. He didn’t know if these people were looking for trouble or something.

After all, there had been a misunderstanding last time, but it didn’t seem to be so easy to deal with this time.

He was still thinking about it when they walked into the shop together.

One of the men with a cigarette in his mouth said, “I hear you have the best business on the street. Now I’d like to try some. Make it five.”

How could he make them anything without preparations?

Xu Mo said, “Then you’ll have to wait for a while. Why don’t you come over later?”

“I’m not free. I want to eat now. Make it fast. You can’t blame me for being rude if you’re too slow.”

Xu Mo was not frightened. He said calmly, “It will take at least an hour. Are you sure you want to wait?”

The man with the cigarette was a little impatient and shouted, “I said we’d eat now, but I didn’t say we’d wait an hour.

“I’ll give you twenty minutes. If we can’t eat, I’ll smash your shop.”

They came with ill intentions!

Xu Mo ate the Spirit Pill, and a powerful force surged out of his body.

Usually, he could only rely on this strength to make egg fried rice. It seemed like he could develop other uses today.

He silently calculated the time. With time acceleration, twenty minutes was enough.

He had to see what else these people had up their sleeves.

Hence, he said, “Then wait patiently for a while. I’ll start immediately.”

The storefront wasn’t big to begin with. He cooked the rice, then switched on the acceleration mode.

He said to Guo Xueming, “Wash the vegetables and cut some of them. You know these, right?”

Guo Xueming nodded immediately. “I can cook for myself at home, too. It’s all fine.”

With that, he immediately went to work. His movements were very agile and decisive.

Xu Nanjin felt uneasy. How could he make egg fried rice in 20 minutes?

She said anxiously, “Why don’t I go to someone else’s and pack five pieces over now? We mustn’t have a conflict with them.”

She remembered that there was a restaurant here, and the egg fried rice they made scored pretty high.

Three minutes was enough running from here.

Xu Mo held her hand and felt her nervousness. He comforted her. “I can do it. Don’t worry.”

“Besides, it’s too late for you to go to someone else. The egg fried rice is freshly made.”

Xu Nanjin’s heart turned cold. She said anxiously, “Then what should we do?

“Don’t lie to me. How can you make egg fried rice when you can’t even get the rice cooked in twenty minutes?

“They’re here to cause trouble. I’m calling the police now.”

Xu Mo said, “Don’t panic. Everything will be fine.

“Look, the rice is almost ready.”

Xu Nanjin blinked, thinking that she had seen something wrong.

He had just plugged it in. Why was there so much steam?

She opened the lid of the pot and saw that it was almost cooked.

Surprised, she asked, “How—how is that possible? How?”

She had watched Xu Mo wash the rice and put it into the cooker. How could it be so fast!

Xu Mo blinked. “You don’t have to worry about that. Help me turn on the live stream and see what these people want.”

There didn’t seem to be any surveillance cameras in the shop. A live stream was equivalent to a recording.

Seeing how confident he was, Xu Nanjin calmed down.

The man with the cigarette sat at the table, bored. He was just waiting to show off later.

The others, however, could not help muttering.

“Boss, they didn’t say anything about wrecking the place like that. Did we make a mistake?”

“Yeah, didn’t they say something about secretly releasing a cockroach and saying there was something wrong with the food he had here?

“Smashing things will get you caught. I learned that when I went to jail last time.”

“It’s not like we’re part of a triad or anything, even though we do look like them.

“I think I’ll pass. We can’t eat for twenty minutes anyway.”

The man with the cigarette in his mouth was very unhappy. He felt that he had overestimated himself.

He said coldly, “We’re going to smash this place one way or another. Be tough.”

“If he couldn’t make it, we could just wait a little longer. I can’t stand the way his business was doing so well.

“Watching him make money is worse than me losing money.”

The few of them were fruit sellers at the front and their business was passable.

Xu Mo did not affect them much. However, the more they saw him queuing every day, the more unhappy they became.

Listening to the guy’s payment notifications one after another, he was about to have a heart attack.

He had specially gone to the wholesale market to buy a few clothes. He had bought hair dye in the supermarket and come up with all sorts of strange designs.

He checked himself in the mirror as he left the house. He felt very much like a gangster from the nineties. He was quite satisfied.

But why were these guys so useless? They were discouraged before they even started.

The owner of this egg fried rice shop was a man with a wife and a child. What was there to be afraid of?

At the thought of this, he secretly glanced at Xu Nanjin. She was so good-looking that one more look was blasphemy.

Although the air conditioner in the shop was on, Xu Nanjin didn’t feel cool at all.

Although she was calmer inside, she was still nervous.

Seeing that Xu Mo was preparing, she could only think of a way to divert her attention.

There were not many people in the live-stream, and no one interacted with her.

She hadn’t really heard what the men were saying, but they were definitely here to pick a fight. They might be discussing a plan.

She stood transfixed in front of the screen, neither speaking nor smiling, like a puppet doll.

After about five minutes, someone finally spoke.

“Sister, we’ll come over for egg fried rice before class. You opened so early today.”

“Sister, why aren’t you saying anything? Those people behind are so strange.”

“Did something happen? If someone kidnapped you, just blink.”

“What happened? I’m a big fan of your looks. Make sure you protect yourself well.”

“I was just about to set off for egg fried rice. I have to eat it every day. I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t eat.

“Hold on, or who will be responsible for my sleep?”

“Say something. It’s killing me. I’m too short-tempered to wait. Give me ten minutes and I’ll be at the scene immediately.”

“Those who go to the scene are heroes. They don’t want such delicious egg fried rice ruined.”

Xu Nanjin’s abnormal behavior made the people in the live-stream very nervous. A few people expressed that they would go over immediately.

More than half of the twenty minutes had passed. Under Xu Nanjin’s anxious gaze, he finally opened fire.

The iron wok met the oil. Under the roaring fire, streams of smoke rose.

Xu Mo skillfully cracked the eggs, put in the ingredients, and fried rice.

The scent crept into the nostrils of the men as if it had feet and into their stomachs.

“This egg fried rice smells so good. I’m already drooling.”

“Boss, can I request two servings?”

“Did he put in something he shouldn’t? Find out for me later.”

Xu Mo calculated the time. Five pieces of egg fried rice had already been served.

He took it over and said coolly, “Time’s up. Taste it slowly.”

The few of them could no longer hold back and took their share.

“Boss, it’s delicious. Try it.”

“I just can’t stand the way you guys pretend to be gangsters. Li Tie, stop pretending. It really tastes good.”

“It’s really delicious. Oops, I ate the cockroach. What am I going to do now?”

“Hurry up and spit it out. Otherwise, what’s our excuse to smash this place?”
