Brush Up Your Proficiency

#25 - Closing the stall

“Xiaolan, this is… … Sorry, I forgot your name.” Wang Hao was about to introduce her, but suddenly stalled. He looked at Cheng Yufei with some embarrassment.

Cheng Yufei was very generous. She smiled and introduced herself, “Hello, my name is Cheng Yufei, just call me Feifei. I may be bothering you for a while.” After saying that, she took the initiative to extend her hand to Wang Lan.

“Hello, I am Wang Hao’s younger sister, Wang Lan.” Wang Lan also extended her hand and gently shook Cheng Yufei’s hand, the smile on her face as bright as a blooming flower in spring.

Wang Lan smiled and looked back and forth between Wang Hao and Cheng Yufei with curious eyes, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "This is the anchor from yesterday, right? How did my brother get involved with her?”

Wang Hao didn't notice his sister's thoughts. He turned to Wang Lan and said, "After we close the stall later, this... um, Feifei? is going to our house for dinner."

Cheng Yufei nodded with a smile, and then asked seemingly casually: "Oh, so your name is Wang Hao, boss!"

In fact, Cheng Yufei was a little bit angry, after all, she had already introduced herself yesterday, but this boss hadn't even told her his name, which was too impolite!

However, Wang Hao didn't hear the little emotion in Cheng Yufei's tone. He simply responded with an "Um."

Then he started telling his sister about the ins and outs of Cheng Yufei coming to their house for dinner later. Wang Lan listened with great interest and said she had no objection to this matter.

“You guys chat for a while, I have to finish the rest of the fried noodles.” Wang Hao hurriedly finished his instructions and then started to get busy again.

After Wang Hao left, Wang Lan's eyes fell directly on Cheng Yufei. She carefully looked at this girl who looked about the same age as herself.

Cheng Yufei had a beautiful face and was youthful and lively. Her outstanding appearance was not inferior to the most beautiful girls in their school.

At the same time, Cheng Yufei was also looking at the simple, pure, and innocent girl in front of her.

From Wang Lan's eyes, Cheng Yufei could tell at a glance that she was still a little girl without much social experience, and her eyes revealed a sense of clarity unique to college students.

The two people scrutinized each other like this. Finally, Cheng Yufei took the lead in breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, right? I saw you were busy just now. Why don't I help you do it together!"

Hearing Cheng Yufei's enthusiastic initiative to help, Wang Lan's heart suddenly added a lot of goodwill towards her.

Even if this may just be a polite remark, it at least shows that the other party does have such intentions.

So Wang Lan quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, no need." In this way, the two of them talked back and forth, and occasionally helped each other with some work, and gradually became familiar with each other.

For Wang Lan, a naive and innocent little girl who was new to the world, Cheng Yufei showed a kind of confidence and calmness as someone who had been there and done that.

She knew that she had relatively rich experience and skills in social interaction, so when interacting with Wang Lan, she was often able to handle it with ease and occupy a certain dominant position.

As the communication between the two became more and more frequent, Wang Lan also learned more information from it:

“What? Sister Feifei, are you already twenty-six years old? You can’t tell at all, it feels like you just graduated!” Wang Lan exclaimed in surprise.

Faced with the surprised expression revealed by Wang Lan, Cheng Yufei felt very satisfied and responded modestly and slightly proudly:

“It’s not as outrageous as you said! I’ve been working for several years.”

Just as Wang Lan wanted to ask Cheng Yufei how she managed to maintain such a young state, she suddenly heard Wang Hao's shout: "Xiaolan, there are only ten servings left, go and tell the customers in line."

“Okay.” Wang Lan readily agreed, then turned and walked towards the line and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Cheng Yufei also quickly followed to help.

After all, she clearly remembered the commotion that was caused yesterday.

In dealing with customers' opinions and conflicts, girls naturally have certain advantages. This is why Wang Hao asked his sister to come forward, which can effectively avoid some unnecessary troubles.

Sure enough, as expected, the customers who were about to get angry when they heard that it was not their turn, but when they saw two delicate and lovely little girls patiently persuading them, the anger in their hearts disappeared unconsciously.

After all, it’s just a bite of food. If you don’t get to eat it today, there’s always tomorrow!

“Congratulations, Advanced Cooking Proficiency + 1, current proficiency: Advanced Cooking 486 / 10000”

Following the pop-up of the last proficiency notification, Wang Hao finally completed today's last serving of fried noodles.

After tidying up all the tools and waiting for everything to be dealt with, the three people quickly quickened their pace and left the snack street.

You should know that Cheng Yufei's internet celebrity effect is still continuing to ferment.

Wang Lan looked at Cheng Yufei with envious eyes. This kind of scene of being the center of attention was exactly what she longed for at this age.

Along the way, the two girls chatted non-stop, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

Wang Hao looked at their close and intimate appearance, and his heart was full of doubts and incomprehension.

He wondered to himself, these two people have only just met, how do they look like good friends who have known each other for a long time? It's really confusing!

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the farmers market, Wang Hao finally couldn't help but interject:

“Um… Feifei, is there any particular dish you want to eat? Tell me in advance, we’re about to arrive at the market.”

However, before Cheng Yufei could answer, Wang Lan couldn't wait to take over the conversation:

“That’s right, that’s right, Sister Feifei, just say what you want to eat, my brother is a master chef! He can make anything, and it tastes super good!”

Hearing Wang Lan's praise, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yufei said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not picky about food. Just buy whatever you usually eat, you don't have to take care of me specially!" Her tone was relaxed and natural, and she didn't seem to care about these details.

Wang Hao felt a lot more at ease after hearing Cheng Yufei's words. He nodded with a smile, expressing his agreement:

“That’s good, our family usually eats relatively simple, just some home-cooked dishes. But I will try my best to make a few more delicious dishes to entertain you!”

Although Cheng Yufei said that, Wang Hao would naturally not make some dishes that were not well prepared, and he secretly wondered what to make, after all, knowing too much would also make it difficult to choose.
