186 Setting Up A Stall
Julia waved her hands. “I wouldn’t dare to do that. I’m not good with words and I don’t know how to greet guests. I might even offend them.”

Julia was a little moved. She had worked in a food factory for two years before she got married and got pregnant not long after. After leaving her job, she became a full-time housewife, taking care of her in-laws and children. Her in-laws had passed away last year, and her mother-in-law had been in poor health. The whole family was barely supported by her husband’s income.

The most gratifying thing for her was that Simon was obedient, sensible, and did well in his studies. He would also find time to find odd jobs such as handing out flyers. All the money he earned would be given to her to supplement the family. Even so, the family could only barely maintain their basic living expenses.

Julia hadn’t made up her mind yet, but Simon, who was listening on the side, took her words to heart and encouraged Julia, “Mom, I think Aunt Vivian’s suggestion is very good. Many people say that your food is delicious. I think there will be a market if we open a stall and sell it. Why don’t we try it?”

Frank felt that his stall was not fun, so he sneaked back after staying for less than two minutes. He wanted to find Simon and Leon to shop at other students’ stalls.

When he arrived, he happened to hear Simon’s words. Frank’s nosy nature made him immediately come forward and Echo, “I agree! Auntie Julia’s desserts will definitely be very popular. I took some home last time and gave some to the servants. After they ate it, they all asked me where I bought it from!”

Julia’s food was mostly for her family. Occasionally, customers would praise her cooking. However, she had no intention of going out to do business. She had been stuck in the trifle of family life for more than a decade, which had distanced her from the outside world.

Hearing everyone’s encouragement, Julia decided to try it too. Her mother-in-law’s medicine couldn’t be stopped, and Simon couldn’t always wear the clothes she picked up. “Then I’ll try it. I’ll just treat it as testing opening a stall outside.”

Seeing this, Vivian enthusiastically helped Julia calculate the price of the food. Simon and Leon were both helping their mother look after the stall, and Frank gave up his thoughts of playing and joined the two to help.

The bespectacled man stood alone behind the stall in a suit. He turned his head and looked at Frank, who was chatting and laughing with his classmates. He grumbled in his heart that his Young Master was really different from the rest. He didn’t want to sell his own goods, but he was helping others.

Fortunately, there was not a lot of food to be sold. The bespectacled man called for people to buy while stuffing food into his mouth to speed up the consumption of food. He planned to sell it out and leave as soon as possible. He really couldn’t live like this.
With a business elite like Vivian around, Julia quickly overcame her shyness and took out a plate with a sample for the students to try.

Vivian had the intention to win Simon over. Naturally, she would not mention the food pricing, location, sales method, and other key factors in one go. She had to make the recipient feel comfortable instead of being given charity. She also had to pay attention to the gratitude for a liter of rice, but the grudge for a grain of rice. She had to grasp the balance just right so the other party would really be sincere to her.

Leon was the one who got along with Simon directly, so he had to be more sincere. Vivian had to deal with these matters that were too calculative and ruined relationships herself.

Vivian had asked the spectacled man to take a lot of photos of them. Now, Leon was no longer as restrained as he was the first time, and he looked especially natural in front of the camera.

This was because after taking photos of Leon at every event, Vivian would replace one or two photos on the photo wall, so the album would be thicker.

These memories made him feel as if he had lived with Vivian for a long time. His abandoned childhood memories were slowly being forgotten, so when he realized it, he began to cooperate with Vivian’s photo-taking activities.

The results came out on Tuesday. The first place in the grade was still Leon, and Simon was second. With the support of the two straight-a students, Frank finally began to study the sixth-grade curriculum.
