Chapter 214: Chapter 215: Taking the Train

The system was somewhat suspicious, clearly having been swayed, regretting the thought that it had been so petty as to think the host was skimping and pinching pennies by stealing items from its mall to save money.

“Host, it’s me, the system, with the small-mindedness. My dear host, you’re simply too wonderful.”

“Since I’m so wonderful, what kind of reward are you going to give me?” Xu Ying blinked her eyes and stretched out her palm.

The system immediately stopped its babbling and vanished without a trace. The host might be great, but it was stingy.

Xu Ying rolled her eyes dramatically and began to pack up the daily necessities needed for her departure tomorrow.

There was a little over a week left until the Chinese New Year, and she would probably arrive in another province by tomorrow afternoon. If she was lucky, she might secure an order that could bring in several hundred thousand for the two factories.

Even if she earned less this year, at least the New Year’s goods market would be opened up. There would be no worries about next year’s business, and most importantly, she would be able to break into various villages.

Early the next morning, Xu Ying got up early and headed to the train station, her hair tied up in a high ponytail with a red string.

She also wore the new clothes she had bought from the mall yesterday: a red coat with white fluffy cotton at the collar and cuffs, a red pencil skirt, and a pair of leather shoes, giving her a remarkably smart look.

Moreover, it was exceptionally festive. Many people on the street couldn’t help but stare at Xu Ying continuously.

Third Uncle Xu had packed even earlier than her and had even bought the train tickets.

Seeing Xu Ying arrive, he was first startled, then excitedly waved his hand: “Yingying, over here, let’s go quickly.

Don’t you feel cold in that? It looks so thin to me.”

After saying this, Third Uncle Xu became a bit anxious. He had bought an early train ticket, thinking if they set off quickly, they could secure an order earlier. Only after buying the ticket did he realize his niece hadn’t arrived yet, giving himself a scare for nothing. Thankfully, the girl wasn’t late.

“I’m not cold. The fabric used in this coat is windproof and warm. Feel the material, it’s thick enough. Don’t tell me we are about to depart,” Xu Ying said, looking at his frantic manner, with a slight smile playing on her lips.

Third Uncle Xu chuckled, snatched Xu Ying’s luggage, and without taking another glance at Xu Ying’s clothes, dashed toward the train.

By rushing, they managed to catch their train without being late. Xu Ying gasped for air, exhausted.

Third Uncle Xu looked guilty: “I… I’m just trying to make a few extra bucks for the factory!”

Xu Ying took a sip of water, caught her breath, and rolled her eyes: “Third Uncle, we don’t have to be so desperate.”

“That won’t do. Now that I’ve taken on the sales job, I must give it my all,” Third Uncle Xu said, patting his chest in assurance, mainly because he had made some money this year.

In front of his parents and brothers, he had finally gained some face, and his wife’s look at him had changed just yesterday.

It gave him a great boost in self-esteem, and he secretly swore to himself to work hard to earn money.

He was well aware that there were quite a few people in his village planning to build houses next year, and naturally, he couldn’t fall behind.

His wife was right; having daughters was wonderful. If his daughters could be as capable as his own niece, they wouldn’t be inferior to boys.

Once they built a house, he could simply find one of his daughters a husband to marry into the family.

“Okay, okay, okay.” Xu Ying quickly nodded her head, feeling happy that her Third Uncle was now so motivated. As long as he worked hard to earn money, life would definitely get better, and her aunt would also be able to enjoy the good times.

Xu Ying took out the breakfast she had prepared from her bag: two cups of eight-treasure porridge, several tea eggs, large meat-filled buns, egg pancakes, and of course, the highlight recommended by Xu Ying this time—duck goods and fried goods.

As soon as she took out the food, the aroma spread throughout the entire train car.

Passengers around them turned their heads to look, their eyes full of envy as they swallowed their saliva.

Under these hungry gazes, Third Uncle Xu picked up the porridge and buns from the table and began to eat heartily.

While eating, he exclaimed, “Yingying, how are you so skilled? Everything you touch turns out so delicious.”

“If it’s tasty, then eat more. Remember to savor these delicious flavors. Look at the people in this train car, who knows, some of them might become our customers,” Xu Ying said with a beaming smile.

Third Uncle Xu had a sudden realization. Indeed, the train was full of all sorts of people coming and going—common folks and high-ranking officials alike.

“Ah, I’m feeling a bit thirsty. I want to go get some water. Yingying, keep an eye on things here. Your third uncle is going to get some water,” said Third Uncle Xu as he got up with a bag of fried and braised goods and ran towards the sleeper compartments.

Those were the places where the wealthy people stayed, and wealthy people weren’t short of money. But there were rules at the train station: without a ticket, you simply couldn’t enter the sleeper cars.

Third Uncle Xu sat at the entrance, opened the pouches of the braised and fried goods, and holding them, he crazily fanned air towards the sleeper car. It didn’t have much effect, but attracting even one customer was better than none.

As luck would have it, a man was just about to enter and smelled the aroma from the goods in Third Uncle Xu’s hand, his face full of shock: “Young man, what is this delicious thing you have? It smells so enticing.”

Upon seeing a potential customer arriving, Third Uncle Xu immediately beamed with joy, stood up straight from leaning against the door, and started praising his own products’ delicious taste. Of course, he did not forget to mention their hometown.

“Wow, big brother, you’ve got a sharp nose! This is our local specialty, braised duck goods, and fried goods. They’re incredibly tasty.

I can tell you’re from out of town and unfamiliar with them. Try and see how delicious they are. You can’t buy these anywhere else, only at our local food factory.”

Third Uncle Xu said as he pinched off a piece and gave it to the man. He took out the braised duck goods and held them up to the man, the aroma becoming even richer. He was a food lover and couldn’t help swallowing as the fragrance hit his nose.

Before he could open his mouth to eat, suddenly a woman came over and patted the man on the shoulder, shouting harshly: “Brother Ai Jun, why are you eating stuff from just anyone?

What if they’ve drugged it, do you no longer value your life?” The woman had a furious expression on her face as if she was resenting his naivety.

Zhang Aijun came to his senses upon hearing this and nearly let his love for food cloud his judgment.

He gave an awkward glance at Third Uncle Xu and gave an embarrassed smile: “Sorry, I can’t eat this.”

Third Uncle Xu saw the customer slipping through his fingers, instantly losing all fondness for the woman. Despite her beauty, how could she be so judgmental?

Did he look like a bad guy? Did he seem like someone who would drug others? He wasn’t a human trafficker.

“Miss, I was just being kind. You can’t just slap a label on me like that. My food is completely clean; there’s no way it’s poisoned,” Third Uncle Xu defended himself, taking a bite directly from the duck goods in an attempt to prove his innocence.

Still skeptical, the woman remained guarded, “This is meat, you know. People are having a hard time these days, and meat isn’t cheap. Why are you offering this to Brother Ai Jun? What are you thinking?”
