Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

With the help of Su Mo and his grandfather, Xiyue set up a snack stall, specializing in selling grilled fish, but also selling other foods.

In fact, Grandpa Su Mo was reluctant to help Xiyue later. He thought that bringing this girl of unknown origin who fainted in the snowy night home to provide her with relief was already a great kindness. As for helping her set up a snack stall and provide food sources later, that was even more wishful thinking!

But in the end, Grandpa couldn't stand Su Mo's repeated requests, and finally had to make three rules with Xiyue.

First, do business seriously and don’t cheat or deceive others.

Second, Xiyue can keep 70% of the money earned from the snack stall, and the remaining 30% must be given to them.

Third, the production cost of the snack stall should be regarded as a loan from Xiyue, which needs to be repaid after Xiyue makes money. As for the charcoal and other sundries used in the snack stall, Grandpa Su Mo will provide funding at the beginning, but Xiyue will have to find a way to solve the problem later.

After careful consideration, Xiyue finally decided to accept the conditions proposed by Grandpa Su Mo.

She knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Although Grandpa Su Mo's request seemed rather harsh, it was already a great help to her at that moment.

But business is never smooth sailing.

After the snack stall is completed, everything is ready.

Su Mo and his grandfather accompanied Xiyue to the streets of Liyue Harbor and started their snack stall business.

Then grandpa moved a stool and sat aside, took out his palm-leaf fan and fanned slowly, while Xiyue and Su Mo were busy. They quickly set up the stall, placed the marinated fish, and started the grilling process.

Set up the rack, put the marinated fish on it, and start grilling. After a while, brush it with oil and sprinkle with various spices. When the fish is half cooked, turn it over and repeat the previous step.

After waiting for a while, the fragrant grilled fish is ready. The aroma fills the air, making people yearn for it.

Then the two little guys started hawking their wares.

But unfortunately, half a day passed and the stall was still deserted, with no customers coming to buy.

Su Mo looked at Xiyue in confusion: "Sister Xiyue, our grilled fish is pretty good, why is no one buying it?"

Xiyue shook her head in confusion.

Su Mo looked at his grandfather who was sitting beside him, his eyes closed and he complained, "Grandpa, why do you think this happened?"

Grandpa opened his eyes, glanced at the two people and their snack stand, but didn't answer immediately.

He just gently waved his somewhat worn palm-leaf fan, as if he was deep in thought.

Su Mo became anxious after seeing this scene, and he kept urging his grandfather, but his grandfather did not move at all, sitting firmly in the central military tent like a Buddha statue.

As the sun rose to the highest point in the sky, the sunlight shone brightly on the earth, but Xiyue and Su Mo's snack stall still did not welcome a single customer.

Faced with such a dilemma, they had no choice but to decide to solve their hunger problem first and taste the grilled fish they had carefully prepared.

After dinner, grandpa got up to go for a walk to stretch his muscles.

Su Mo planned to stay because he was worried about Xiyue, but to his surprise, this time his grandfather specifically asked Su Mo to stay and look after the stall and take Xiyue for a walk.

Su Mo was completely puzzled by this, but he had no choice but to continue taking care of the snack stall here.

On the streets of Liyue Harbor.

Xiyue followed her grandfather and couldn't help feeling a little confused. She didn't know what the old man's intention was in leaving Su Mo behind and taking her out alone.

They walked past rows of busy food stalls, and Grandpa seemed to be observing everything around him.

Suddenly, Grandpa stopped and looked at the busy food stalls on the roadside and slowly said, "Xiyue, what do you think is the most important thing in the food business?"

Xiyue said without hesitation: "Grandpa, you told me to do business seriously and not to cheat, so I think the most important thing is integrity."

Grandpa grinned at Xiyue's words: "Little girl, you're quite smart. You know how to answer me using my own words. That's right, it's integrity." He paused and continued, "Then besides integrity, do you know what the second most important thing in the food business is?"

"The second most important?" Xiyue looked puzzled.

She thought for a while and came up with her own idea:

"Is it because it's delicious? If the food is delicious, many people will come to buy it."

After hearing Xiyue's words, Grandpa shook his head, as if he was not satisfied with Xiyue's answer.

Grandpa's denial made Xiyue even more puzzled. Just when she was at a loss,

At this time, Grandpa gently tapped Xiyue with the palm-leaf fan in his hand, and then pointed to the snack stalls in the distance that were doing a booming business.

"Ok?"

Xiyue was puzzled. What's on me?

Looking at the puzzled Grandpa Xiyue, he said at the right moment: "Do you know how to distinguish a rich man from a beggar on the street?"

Huh? Rich people and paupers?

What's the use?

"Uh... can you see through her clothes and her temperament?" Xiyue asked tentatively.

"So would you rather approach a rich man or a beggar?"

"Of course he's rich..."

"Why?" Grandpa asked casually.

"Rich people have money, they dress well and eat well. Beggars can't even save their own lives, and they are covered with..." Xiyue's voice stopped abruptly here.

Xiyue was stunned for a moment and blinked, then looked at her slightly dirty clothes, and then looked at the snack stall owner's clean clothes and almost tidy stall, Xiyue suddenly realized.

Looking at the calm grandfather, he asked tentatively:

"Is it hygiene?"

"Yeah, it's hygienic." Grandpa nodded in agreement.

"But why would it be a hygiene issue? If your food doesn't taste good, who would buy it?" Xiyue retorted.

"That's right, the third thing I want to say is that the food is delicious." Grandpa smiled.

"Grandpa, I don't understand..." Xiyue shook her head.

"Xiyue, if someone engages in fraudulent business, do you think his business will last long?"

"No, so integrity comes first." Xiyue said helplessly. "But I still don't understand why hygiene comes second."

"If there's a delicious food but it gives you diarrhea, would you still eat it?"

"I don't think so. After all, who would want to suffer for no reason?"

"Those are the same two food stalls. One is clean but the food tastes terrible, and the other is awful and shabby. The food tastes good but you'll have diarrhea after eating it."

"Which one would you choose?"

“I’ll probably choose the first one.”

"There are two people here, with similar family backgrounds and financial resources. One is handsome, and the other is slovenly. If you were asked to choose one to marry, which one would you choose?"

"Then I'll probably choose the handsome one."

Xiyue suddenly realized.

"So, Grandpa, what you're saying is that there's a comparison between me and the food stall across the street. We have the same price and the same food, but our first impressions create different impacts."

"Yes, it is like that."

"Besides this, Xiyue, think about it, what else do you need to pay attention to?" Grandpa guided.

Xiyue lowered her head and thought to herself: "Integrity, hygiene, and deliciousness..."

She looked up at the food stalls around her. Some were very busy and the stall owners were smiling, but some were deserted and the stall owners sat aside sighing.

A gleam flashed in Xiyue's eyes: "It's attitude!"

Xiyue continued speaking by analogy.

"It's like there are two shops. One charges cheaper but has a bad attitude. Every time you go there, they have a gloomy face and don't treat you well. The other shop charges a little more but has a good attitude. Every time you go there, they greet you with a smile."

"If it were me, I would definitely choose the one with the better attitude. After all, we are going there to spend money, and who wants to spend money and not be satisfied with the purchase? Instead of that, it's better to spend a little more money to make yourself happy."

"Yeah, not bad, not bad. Honesty, hygiene, taste and attitude are all essential." Grandpa agreed.

"Is that all?" Xiyue asked.

"Of course not. There are still many twists and turns in it. It depends on you to discover them." Grandpa smiled.

"Yeah," Xiyue nodded in response.

Then Xiyue thought of a question.

"Then Grandpa, I don't understand why you brought me out this time but left Su Mo alone there. He could also learn a little bit."

"You mean him?"

Grandpa shook his head slightly

"He has never been a quiet person. I have explained everything I should have said, but he didn't listen."

Then he looked at Xiyue with a smile on his face

"Besides, he's not as smart as you."

Xiyue smiled and comforted him.

"What if he's still young and doesn't understand? Maybe he'll understand when he grows up."

"maybe……"

Then, with a hint of ease in his tone, Grandpa suggested:

"Let's go back and see what that guy is busy with. I wonder if he has lost his stall."

Grandpa and Xiyue returned to the snack stand together.

Su Mo saw the two people from afar and his face was immediately filled with joy: "Hey, let me tell you, I just sold two skewers of grilled fish." Su Mo picked up the Mora in his hand and showed off to the two people.

Xiyue looked at this scene, smiling at her grandfather: "Grandpa, it seems that what you said is not entirely right."

"Look, if you're nicer, people will come."

Grandpa met Xiyue's smiling eyes with an embarrassed look on his face. He turned to look at Su Mo, who was proudly showing off his sales achievements.

Seeing this, Grandpa suddenly became excited and his face turned red with anger.

"Hey, you little bastard, stop right there!"

Pretending to hit Su Mo

Seeing this, Su Mo subconsciously turned around and ran away, retorting with a hint of confusion and grievance: "Hey, no, I sold the things, why did you hit me?"

Grandpa chased after him: "Who told you not to pay attention to safety!"

"Didn't you ask me to stay?"

Grandpa was speechless for a moment, then said angrily: "I just don't like you, what's wrong!"

"Okay, Lao Deng, you don't even hide your purpose, right?"

"You stop!"

"I do not!"

……

The two of them circled around the snack stand, one running in front and the other chasing behind. Su Mo dodged flexibly in front, while his grandfather chased closely behind.

Xiyue smiled when she saw this scene, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart, as if she had found a sense of belonging to home in this small snack stall.

……

In this way, Xiyue officially owned a snack stall of her own with the help of Su Mo and her grandfather.
