After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 267 The Awakening of a Single Mother (Part 23)

"Cicada~?"

Wen Chan was enjoying her meal with Ah Xuan when she suddenly heard someone call her name.

She looked up in astonishment and then saw the man she never wanted to see again in her life.

So she instinctively lowered her head and covered her eyes, pretending not to recognize her.

Lin Yi didn't care about any of that and exclaimed with delight, "Grandma, it really is you, Wen Chan! We haven't seen each other for so long!"

Lin Yueyue looked at her father, then at the food vendor, and asked curiously, "Dad, do you know the vendor?"

When Wen Chan heard the young girl call her "boss lady," she felt incredibly embarrassed and wished she could disappear into the ground.

The proprietress? Her? Don't call her that anymore, her face is practically red to her heels.

"Yes, the proprietress was my dad's college classmate, but we haven't seen each other since graduation, it's been almost eight or nine years."

Lin Yi first answered his daughter, then expressed his feelings to Wen Chan.

Wen Chan had no intention of reminiscing with him. She chuckled twice and said, "Hehe, are you here to buy food? I have boneless chicken feet with spicy lemon and sour sauce, as well as spicy chicken noodles. What would you like to buy?"

Lin Yi wanted to catch up with Wen Chan, but Wen Chan ignored him.

Seeing Wen Chan's smile fade, Lin Yi felt a pang of disappointment. Although he had wronged her in the past, they had shared some beautiful memories.

Back then, they were each other's first love. When Wen Chan first entered university, she was very gentle and well-behaved, with a pair of big, bright, and intelligent eyes that warmed people's hearts.

Moreover, she was very beautiful, and Lin Yi fell in love with her at first sight, so he quickly made his move.

Unfortunately, they were both too young at the time and didn't care much about relationships. Plus, he was a bit of a womanizer, so in the end, they became familiar strangers.

Now, seeing Wen Chan so indifferent to him, he really felt bad.

Look at Wen Chan's life now, how hard it is for her. Everyone else is a college graduate, but she can only barely make ends meet by setting up a small street stall, and she's been squeezed into this remote corner.

Lin Yi thought that he should support her business no matter what, so he generously said, "Two boxes of spicy and sour lemon chicken feet and two boxes of spicy chicken noodles."

I don't know if it will taste good or not, but I'm just trying to support it out of kindness. If it doesn't taste good, I'll just throw it in the trash.

Wen Chan looked at Lin Yi and said definitively, "Are you sure? Just a friendly reminder, buy only what you can eat, otherwise it'll be a waste."

"It's alright, this box of yours doesn't look like a large quantity, we can finish it."

Wen Chan nodded. "Chicken feet are 15 yuan a box, two boxes are 30 yuan. Spicy chicken noodles are 3 yuan a box, two boxes are 6 yuan. The total is 36 yuan. Thank you for supporting my small business."

Wen Chan packed the cicadas and handed them to Lin Yi, saying with a grin, "If you like them, come again! I made them all myself, they're absolutely clean and hygienic. Bye-bye." Then she waved, as if to say, "Never again."

Lin Yi quickly took the bag, "Okay, if it's delicious, I'll definitely come again. After all, we're old classmates, so we have to support each other!"

Seeing that Wen Chan didn't seem to want to talk anymore, Lin Yi wisely refrained from pressing her for more information.

After the customer left, Ah Xuan blinked and asked curiously, "Mom, didn't you say lemon chicken feet were 12 yuan and spicy noodles were 2.5 yuan? Why were they so expensive just now?"

When Wen Chan saw someone coming over, she didn't want to explain further and casually said, "What do you know, you little brat? They're rich, they don't care about this little bit of money, they might even think it's a bargain."

Lin Yi found his wife, who, seeing him carrying something, asked curiously, "What's this?"

Lin Yi looked at his wife and said helplessly, "Yueyue ordered boneless chicken feet with lemon, I don't know if they'll taste good."

Lin Yi's wife opened the package, tried one, and nodded approvingly, "Mmm, it's delicious! This noodle is also good, spicy and tasty."

Lin Yueyue was eager to try, "Really, Mom? I want to eat too!"

Lin Yi introduced the spicy chicken noodles to his wife, saying, "This is spicy chicken noodles."

Lin Yi saw that his wife and children liked it and felt that the purchase was worthwhile. Sure enough, Wen Chan was as kind as ever, and even though she was running a small business, she was still a conscientious merchant.

Wen Chan had no idea that she was highly regarded by Lin Yi; otherwise, she would have cursed him out. After all, she had acted so naively "kind" during her relationship with Lin Yi.

They either don't open for business at all, or once they do, they're so busy they're like a spinning top, they can't stop at all.

No sooner had Lin Yi left than customers began to come over and ask about prices.

In no time, several boxes were sold out. Some people tried the chicken feet and found the taste absolutely delicious, so they opened them and started eating them on the spot.

Some people thought it was delicious and bought two more boxes. However, quite a few people felt the price was a bit high and just asked about it before leaving.

"Boss lady, this looks so appetizing! How much is a box?"

"It's 12 yuan a box."

"So expensive? There aren't that many chicken feet in this box."

Wen Chan could only smile helplessly and explain, "It's not expensive. These are boneless chicken feet. I would pay about 10 yuan per pound at the market."

"After buying them, I had to personally remove the bones from the chicken feet section by section. I also used a lot of seasonings, such as lemons and cucumbers, which cost money. It took me a lot of effort to make these spicy and sour boneless chicken feet."

Sometimes when people try to bargain, they still think it's too expensive and don't buy it. But we've already sold more than ten boxes, so we're not worried about selling the remaining cicadas.

Even if they can't sell them, she and Ah Xuan can eat their fill at home.

Adults like the spicy and sour boneless chicken feet with lemon, while children prefer the spicy chicken noodles. Some people buy them, eat them, and then come back to buy them again.

It's obviously very popular; the last few boxes were bought by repeat customers.

Sure enough, another repeat customer came over and asked, "Boss lady, do you still have boneless chicken feet? I'd like to buy two more boxes."

Wen Chan smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, we just sold out. I'll come back tomorrow night. If you like it, please come and patronize my business again tomorrow."

The diner said regretfully, "Oh dear, I'm too late. I just bought a box from you, but it wasn't enough for my friends. They all said that these chicken feet are very flavorful and you don't have to spit out the bones. They really enjoy eating them."

Wen Chan laughed, "That's right, my son and I hurt our hands while deboning these chicken feet. Many people have asked about them and said they were too expensive, but you get what you pay for!"

The two women talked back and forth about their own difficulties. Finally, the customer asked Wen Chan to come earlier the next day so he could bring his friends to support her business.

Actually, the customer had just been chatting with Wen Chan and learned that her husband had passed away. It wasn't easy for a woman to raise her son alone, so she could only make a living by setting up a small stall at the night market.
