Chapter 10: The Male God in My Heart

By 7 p.m., Chen Yu called for Tuan Tuan to stop taking orders.

"Why aren't you taking orders anymore? I see there's still a lot!"

"I'm really sorry, these have all been sold!" Chen Yu's face was full of apology.

Tong Ya was also astonished at this moment, within just under three hours, so many fried cakes had been sold out.

For some reason, Tong Ya suddenly felt a bit of inexplicable guilt, thinking if she hadn't eaten one, Chen Yu could have sold one more.

After dealing with the remaining orders, Chen Yu turned off one of the fryers and placed the remaining twenty semi-finished products into another fryer.

"Eh, didn't you sell out?" Tong Ya asked, puzzled.

"These are specially reserved for you!"

At these words, Tong Ya's heart suddenly started pounding.

"For me?"

"Yeah, you've helped me so much! I should make a few fried cakes as a token of my gratitude, right?"

Tong Ya's cheeks, which had just heated up, instantly cooled down, and she pouted with a hint of resentment.

"Well, thank you then!"

Tong Ya said her thanks and then subconsciously took off her gloves to help tidy up the food cart.

Just as Chen Yu was lifting the twenty fried cakes out of the fryer, he heard Zhang Fan's hasty voice.

"Chen! Your half-trailer is ready, come out and check it!"

Chen Yu was taken aback, it seemed like Zhang Fan had just shown him the blueprint at noon! And now, in just half a day, it was done.

When Chen Yu saw the food cart Zhang Fan had made for him, he wondered for a moment if this guy also had a system blessing.

Because the half-trailer was crafted with extreme intricacy, resembling a mobile little house.

The inside space was also very spacious and even had the electric wiring fully installed.

"Zhang, nice workmanship!"

Zhang Fan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Actually, this small half-trailer was custom-ordered by someone else before, but they changed their mind halfway and didn't want it anymore, so I just made some slight modifications and brought it over to you."

"I really appreciate it, then!"

With that, Chen Yu took out the cash he had organized, counted two thousand, and stuffed it into Zhang Fan's hands.

"Oh no, there's no need!"

Zhang Fan hastily refused, "We're neighbors, why give money? Besides, that little half-trailer would've been scrapped if it stayed with me!"

"That's not the way to say it, I should still pay you! I've checked, and such a half-trailer modification costs at least two thousand, so just take it! Otherwise, you won't be welcome to come for my fried cakes in the future."

Seeing Chen Yu so insistent, Zhang Fan didn't put on airs.

However, after accepting the two thousand, he returned five hundred.

"Alright, Chen! One thousand five hundred is enough, if you give me more, I'm going to get upset!"

While Chen Yu and Zhang Fan were going back and forth, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on perfectly ending a day's business, netting a profit of 7,993.5 yuan, earning 7,993.5 points!]

Chen Yu was momentarily surprised, as the system usually settled accounts only after the food cart was cleaned up.

Could it be that Tong Ya had already finished cleaning the food cart?

However, Chen Yu was soon distracted by the system page that popped up.

At this moment, his accumulated points had reached 14,228!

After doing the math, he had twenty fried cakes left in the afternoon, four of each flavor, totaling twenty-eight yuan.

Plus the one with sweet potato flavor Tong Ya ate, that made it twenty-nine point five yuan in total.

In other words, the net profit for the afternoon was five thousand five hundred and seventy point five yuan!

It seemed that when the system calculated net profit and points, it would deduct the cost of inputs.

Probably by tomorrow, the one thousand five hundred yuan spent on the trailer would also be included.

While Chen Yu was focused on the system, Zhang Fan had already stuffed five hundred yuan into his hand and left with a stride.

At this moment, Tuan Tuan had already brought out the fried cakes Chen Yu made to the front of the food cart.

"Dad is just too great, leaving twenty specifically for the teacher! Yesterday he wouldn't even spare one or two for me to eat, it seems Dad has taken a liking to the teacher."

Immediately, Tong Ya's cheeks turned red, and in comparison, Tuan Tuan was much more skilled at flirting than Chen Yu.

With a light cough, Tong Ya hurriedly changed the subject.

"By the way, why do your mom and dad want to get a divorce?"

Instantly, Tuan Tuan's face was filled with sorrow: "Mom was discovered by a talent scout, became a big star, and didn't want us anymore! She thinks Dad and I would impact her career."

Tong Ya immediately felt annoyed. This was simply a classic case of a heartless woman!

"Your dad, at the very least, has a graduate degree, is well-educated, handsome, and a good person. How could your mom leave him?"

"Huh? Teacher, how do you know my dad has a graduate degree?"

Suddenly embarrassed, Tong Ya said, "The kindergarten has files on the student's parents! By the way, where did your dad learn to make fried cakes?"

"He taught himself! He used to make them for me quite often!"

Tong Ya was immediately amazed internally. The man of her dreams really was extraordinary; just through self-study, he could make such delicious fried cakes.

The liking hidden in her heart grew a bit more; she even thought about whether she should take the initiative.

While they were talking, Tong Ya unknowingly ate ten fried cakes.

Typically, she wouldn't touch food as greasy as this, but the taste of these fried cakes was really too unique. If she hadn't controlled herself, she might have eaten all twenty.

At this moment, Chen Yu had already connected the trailer to the food cart and walked over, clapping his hands.

"Starting tomorrow, we'll be able to store more raw materials! We can even open a dedicated window for selling drinks."

Tuan Tuan jumped up excitedly, "Yay, tomorrow we'll have drinks!"

Chen Yu, however, rolled his eyes: "Kids shouldn't drink soft drinks too often!"

Tong Ya, who was beside them, concurred, "That's right, especially since Tuan Tuan dances, you really shouldn't drink them, though drinking some dairy products is still fine."

As she spoke, Tong Ya took out her phone, ready to make a payment using the QR code nearby.

Chen Yu quickly stepped forward, grabbing Tong Ya's wrist.

"Oh, Teacher Tong Ya, you helped me out today, and I haven't even had the chance to thank you. How could you pay?"

"I should pay! These fried cakes didn't just appear out of thin air!" Tong Ya switched to her other hand, insisting on moving the phone closer.

Chen Yu became anxious, he reached out with both hands, grabbing onto both of Tong Ya's wrists.

Realizing how intimate the gesture was, Chen Yu quickly let go.

"You don't need to pay, Teacher!" Tuan Tuan suddenly jumped over, "I think from now on, the teacher can take me to and from school, and then Dad can take care of the teacher's breakfast and dinner. That would settle it!"

"You little girl, the teacher is so busy, how can she take you to and from school?"

No sooner had Chen Yu scolded, than Tong Ya suddenly looked up.

"I can do it! I'm usually not that busy, taking Tuan Tuan to and from school is not an issue!"
