The Way To Escape the Scum

Chapter 17: How to escape from the family of origin (2)…

    Ling Xiao told the system that she was going to open a food stall in the night market. This was not a whim, for two reasons.

    First, since he promised to let Wang Zhaodi feel the meaning of life, then in addition to escaping from that family, he must learn to truly live for himself. Obviously, having a career of one's own, which can give people an independent confidence and a sense of self-esteem, is an excellent driving force for building spiritual support.

      Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to develop from scratch, and at the same time not to exceed the physical and mental load too much.

    The system nodded repeatedly: "What about another reason?"

    Ling Xiao gave an irrefutable answer.

    "Simple because she likes it."

    On the day that Wang Zhaodi entered the school, he only had the admission letter and a change of clothes in his hand. She stood outside the school gate hesitantly, looking at the vibrant and hopeful campus, her heart was up and down for a while. Want to bravely start a new life, but timidly dare not step into it.

    Because she knows that her body has been tied to invisible ropes since she was born, and even breathing and living is so difficult and painful, let alone enjoy youth like ordinary girls.

    Just then, a small dining car stopped in front of her.

    "Come on, little baby, congratulations on your admission to university, grandma treats you to a potato cake."

    It will be the evening rush hour, and the grandma was about to go to the night market outside the school to set up a stall, and she couldn't help but stop. She saw a lot of students of all shapes and sizes, but she never saw a few little girls come to report alone, all dressed in tatters, barely carrying any luggage, standing in front of the door full of laughter for a long time, afraid to enter.

    The wrinkled hands handed over a steaming potato cake.

    "Eat, don't worry, no money."

    The kindness from strangers is a thousand times warmer than the so-called home.

    Wang Zhaodi grew up eating cold steamed bread leftovers. When he was hungry, he would even go to the field to steal raw corn to eat. Where did he eat snacks that were fried and seasoned? She took the potato cake in a daze, and said thank you, but the grandmother smiled and waved her hand, leaving a sentence and leaving.

    "It's hard to live, come on."

    Brother Wang Zhao took a small bite, and suddenly burst into tears.

    This may be the best food she has eaten in her short life of more than ten years.

    …

    In this age that has not yet fully taken off, the 18,000 yuan in hand is barely a small start-up capital. Ling Xiao is always a hard worker. After setting a small goal for the time being, he intends to immediately go to the site to investigate the site selection, the flow of people, the types of snacks, and so on.

    The Wang family's parents are expected to make trouble in two days, so Ling Xiao naturally won't give them a penny. However, according to their sloppy and rolling virtues, I am afraid that things will be a big mess, the kind that everyone knows.

    Ling Xiao had a plan in mind, but didn't tell the system.

    According to this plan, she must quickly resolve the matter of the food stall within two days.

    "Squeaky—"

    The dormitory door was pushed open, Ling Xiao couldn't help turning his head to look over.

    The girl who came in was about 1.7 meters tall, tall, wearing a red trench coat, stepping on small leather boots, and carrying a silver boarding case, which made her whole person capable and energetic. Her slightly hard eyebrows made her outline a little sharp, and her unsmiling expression made her look too indifferent and seemed a little difficult to approach.

    It is Lu Hongyun.

    Lin Lulu performed an instant face-changing technique on the spot, quickly put down her headphones, and stepped forward to greet her with a smile.

    "Dear, didn't you ask for leave and go to the United States to participate in the programming competition with the school team? You came back so soon, how was the result?"

    Lu Hongyun's family is in business, and the most important thing is money. Although I'm usually cold with everyone, but every time I go out, I always bring some expensive little gifts with me. Coupled with her excellent grades and a proper figure, Lin Lulu will never show her jealousy, but rush to get close, one "darling" every time, but unfortunately this eldest lady is difficult to serve, with everyone. light.

      Lin Lulu didn't look embarrassed, and happily lifted the lid forward, and found that it was a very famous chocolate in the United States, one of which cost hundreds of dollars.

    "When Liu Meng comes to class, you help me pass it to her." She didn't say the remaining two boxes, but it was obvious that they were given to Lin Lulu and Ling Xiao each.

    Lin Lulu sneered while eating.

    "The recruiter went out to play all night again, and there was no class, and she took a shower when she came back. Isn't she always very arrogant and never accepts your gifts? Yes? I think it's better to give this box of chocolates to the next bedroom."

    Ling Xiao looked surprised: "Listen, who is farting?"

     "Oh, is that the one who also has bad grades, and who is looking for men's videos in the dormitory during the day, and who wants to hug his thighs when he sees it?"

    "You bitch/son, I don't know what to do every day!" Lin Lulu scolded angrily and cast a look of help at Lu Hongyun.

    Lu Hongyun glanced at Lin Lulu, his eyes were extremely cold, with a warning, the other party shut up angrily. She reached out and put the box on Ling Xiao's table, then took out the diamond-encrusted bear hairpin that was very expensive at first glance, and put it out together.

    In the past, she would occasionally talk to Wang Zhaodi, but every time one person criticized the other party for not doing his job properly and committing suicide. Become strangers under the same roof.

    Ling Xiao watched all this with great interest, with a smile on her face, staring at her motionless.

    Lu Hongyun was stared a little hairy, nodded slightly uncomfortably, and was about to return to his bed. The moment she didn't want to turn around, her hand was gently pulled.

    Ling Xiao said with a smile, without giving her any reaction time.

    "Hey, why did you give me extra hairpins?"

    This is the first sentence I have spoken in half a year.

    "I didn't find where the passport was before I left, but you picked it up in the end. It's just a thank you, don't think about it."

    Lu Hongyun replied stubbornly with a businesslike appearance.

    Ling Xiao was almost happy. She couldn't help asking the system: "Is this the legendary Aojiao? Or is it Ao Shen? I think it's a very interesting girl, why did you recruit her younger brother and classmates and didn't find it?"

    System: "She always looks cold, speaks straight and unpleasant, and the client doesn't want to explain her work for the family. I'm tired enough to live, how can I care? What girlfriends to make... Also, last time you also thought Ling Yun was interesting, but the stupid child was used by you to the fullest. What are you thinking about this time?"

    "How ugly, that is to deepen the emotional bond in a reasonable way, and at the same time provide practical utility for completing the task."

    Ling Xiao continued to hold her hand and said sincerely, "Well, it turned out to be a thank you gift. So, the person who was thanked, can I ask you to exchange a gift?"

    Put your nose on your face? She has a temper too! Lu Hongyun couldn't help being a little irritable.

     "Brother Wang Zhao, what do you want?"

    "It's very simple." Ling Xiao replied slowly, ignoring Lin Lulu's jealous eyes.

    "How about you go to the night market with me and buy me something to eat?"

    ————

    Songjiang Night Market is a very famous night market next to the university. The area is not too large, but there are a variety of snacks and fireworks, plus the location is good and the price is low, in addition to students, many faculty, staff and ordinary residents come to patronize.

    At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was dinner time. The night market was full of people. Ling Xiao silently counted the number of passengers in his heart, while paying attention to the snacks in the hands of passers-by.

    Lu Hongyun frowned, obviously not suitable for the environment here. She's busy with group work and preparing for the next programming competition, so she really doesn't have time to hang out.

    "What do you want to eat? Hurry back after buying it for you." She took out her wallet and pulled out a hundred-yuan bill.

    "What's the rush." ​​Ling Xiao took her around almost every corner before turning back to the most lively area and pointing to a few shops.

    "Pancakes, Roujiamo, Fried Crispy Pork... These are the same as two servings."

    Lu Hongyun looked at the long queue and the dirty ground.

    "I Lu Hongyun, even if I starve to death, I won't eat a bite of the food here!"

    "I will eat if you don't eat."

    Lu Hongyun had a cold face and waited in line for almost an hour in the cold wind before buying all the things. The two of them found a fairly clean seat and sat down, only to feel the cold wind rushing down their necks, and the food in their hands was completely cold.

    Miss Lu didn't eat anything, but Ling Xiao ate it all slowly and then expressed her thoughts.

    "Although it's cold, the taste is not bad. It is worthy of being the star product of the night market. It would be nice if you could eat it in the dormitory. It's cold and a little far away."

    Lu Hongyun felt that Wang Zhaodi talked a lot today, and his attitude was calm and open, as if he had changed his personality. The two have never gotten along so peacefully before. Although the other party is a little busy, it doesn't feel bad.

    So she also casually replied: "The stalls and night markets here are too busy, where can someone send you to the campus? Unless you pay some errands, find someone to help you bring it in. ."

    Ling Xiao thoughtfully looked at the crowd queuing in the cold wind, but did not answer for a while.

    After a long time, she got up and said, "Let's go."

    "Finally going back to the dormitory?"

    "Of course not."

    Lu Hongyun just came back from abroad and has not eaten until now, tired and hungry. She shrugged and walked with Ling Xiao for a long time, only to find that this was the end of the night market, the crowd was sluggish, the front door of several stalls was empty, and the business was really bleak.

    Ling Xiao went straight to the last stall with a familiar face and greeted him with a smile.

    "How are you, grandma."

    Lu Hongyun saw that it was a stall selling potato cakes. The old grandmother, wrapped in a padded jacket and huddled behind the table, seemed to know her, opened her eyes to recognize her for a while, and came out of it in surprise.

    "Doll, do you remember me?"

    Ling Xiao nodded: "The potato cake you gave me last year was really delicious."

    The grandmother said cheerfully: "If you like it, why do you wear so little in the cold weather? Did you bring friends? Come, there is no one anyway. Grandma invites you to eat."

    Lu Hongyun waved his hands again and again, but he couldn't bear it, and he pretended to pay. Ling Xiao nodded happily.

    "How dare you say goodbye to the elders? But grandma, I see that you still have a lot of potatoes here, can you let me make two snacks, please try it?"

    This anti-customer-oriented shamelessness made Lu Hongyun stunned. She watched helplessly as the grandmother smiled even more happily and gave up her seat, while Ling Xiao seemed to be the owner of the dining car, and began to peel potatoes skillfully.

    "What do you want to eat? Come out quickly."

    Ling Xiao didn't care: "Shut up and wait to eat."

    Lu Hongyun: ! Dare to be a traitor!

    The weather is very cold, and the best-selling snacks are steaming fried and grilled food. Peel and wash the potatoes, cut them into small pieces, put them in the pan, and fry them again until they turn attractive golden brown. Sauté minced shallots and garlic until fragrant, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt and sugar, etc. to make a thick sauce, then pour in potatoes, sprinkle with cumin powder, pepper powder, chili noodles, and finally add green chopped green onions Garnish with parsley.

    At the same time, Ling Xiao opened the bow from left to right, cut the potatoes into almost transparent slices at the speed of the afterimage, washed the starch on the surface with salt water, and then stacked five slices together and rolled them deftly into the shape of a rose. More than a dozen potato flowers filled the pan, she sprinkled some salt, pepper, and chili, brushed a little oil, and began to bake in the pan.

    Instantaneous tempting fragrance spreads into the nostrils, snowflakes begin to fall, but here is steaming, I just feel that the air has become richer.

    Lu Hongyun only felt an empty stomach, and suddenly groaned. She smelled the permeating aroma deeply, and was hesitating whether to say something, when she saw Ling Xiao had prepared two kinds of snacks, put them in a few paper bowls, and put bamboo sticks on them to signal them to eat quickly.

    Lu Hongyun took a deep breath, stepped forward uncontrollably, and picked up the bamboo stick with trembling.

    The fried potatoes are crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, sweet, spicy, fragrant, numb, and rich in layers. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the warmth and fragrance on the tongue, and the stomach is also extremely satisfied.

    And the potato roses are crisp and seasoned, and the blooming appearance instantly hits the hidden girl's heart.

    It's delicious!

    The old grandmother gave a thumbs up: "Girl, your craft is much better than mine, you can get married, or you can put up a stall!"

    Ling Xiaotuo smiled and watched the two gobble.

    "Grandma, it's impossible to get married, but I really want to set up a stall."

    "18,000 yuan, that's all I have now. How about you rent the dining car to me for a month, and supply potatoes, oil, and seasonings?"

    Grandma: ?

    Lu Hongyun:…? !

    She didn't dare to believe: "What are you going to do? Set up a stall? Can't you have time to retake the course and do a good job in your studies? And there are all alumni here, don't you feel ashamed? "

    I was angry for a while, and seemed to say something bad. After she reacted, she pursed her lips and turned her face away.

    Ling Xiao thought about it seriously, and gave her the calculation with her fingers.

    "First, the night market stall will not delay my classes during the day. Besides, my grades are not good, and I don't plan to make a living with computer skills like you. Just get a diploma."

     "Secondly, what shame is it to eat by craftsmanship? The working people are all equal, and you don't eat well."

    "The third thing...Although it's not an unspoken situation, but I don't want to tell you yet."

    Lu Hongyun laughed angrily: "It seems that you haven't changed at all, and you have been sneaking around all day and don't know what you are doing!"

    Sure enough, no communication!

    I just glanced at the paper box in my hand, put it down reluctantly, and left without looking back.

    Ling Xiao smiled indifferently, and even whistled.

    The grandmother didn't know if this was a quarrel or not. Seeing people walking away, she asked hesitantly, "Little baby, did you really plan this?"

    Ling Xiao pressed her shoulder and answered loudly.

     "Of course, we proletariat are not afraid of difficulties, we will do it when we see it!"
