This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 160 What kind of husband-and-wife team?
Li Wanyin, who is thrifty and hardworking, is a long-time user of Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app). Most of the equipment she uses for her stall was found on Xianyu.

For these kinds of stall equipment, including desks and computers used by some startups, few people specifically buy new ones. After all, they are durable goods, so buying second-hand ones can save a lot of money on costs.

Although it's called secondhand, it's hard to say how many times it's passed through. After all, business is tough, and when you can't keep going, you have no choice but to resell it.

Local pickup is a preferred transaction method for Li Wanyin, as it allows her to inspect the goods on-site and avoids disputes later.

The street vendor cart I bought today was purchased near the gate of an elementary school.

Chen Shi'an arrived first with Li Wanyin in his car. They looked left and right but couldn't see any street vendors or even the vendors.

"Has the seller not arrived yet?"

"Hmm, probably not yet. I made an appointment with her at 1:30, it's still a little while away. I'll call her and ask."

Li Wanyin didn't get off the bike; she just sat on the back of Chen Shi'an's bicycle, one hand on his waist, the other hand taking out her phone to make a call.

Chen Shi'an rode forward a little and arrived at the electric gate of the primary school. Together with the cat on his shoulder, he looked curiously at the school that was still on holiday.

A female voice came from the other end of Li Wanyin's phone:
"Hey?"

"Hello, I'm the buyer of your street vendor cart. I've arrived at Dongsheng Elementary School. Have you come yet?"

"Oh! I'm here, I'm here. Wait a few minutes for me."

"Okay, please do it as soon as possible."

The seller seemed to be fairly honest. A few minutes later, a three-wheeled electric street vendor appeared at the corner of the intersection. The vehicle was mainly bright macaron pink, with milky white lines outlining it, making it particularly eye-catching on the bustling street.

Chen Shi'an blinked and asked Li Wanyin, "Sister Wanyin, is it that car?"

"Correct."

"So pink!"

"...It's eye-catching! If it doesn't look good, you can just fix it later."

"Yes, it is indeed quite eye-catching." Chen Shi'an smiled.

The seller looked quite young, probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and was also a girl.

During the holiday, there weren't many people at the school gate. The seller spotted the two people riding bicycles at a glance and drove the electric tricycle stall straight towards them.

"Hello, are you the little echo?"

"Yes, hello."

"Huh...you, are you Chen Shi'an?"

When the seller saw the little Taoist priest on the bicycle, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Li Wanyin was also somewhat surprised, looking at the seller and then at Chen Shi'an, who seemed puzzled.

"Yes, you know me?"

"I know you! I've seen your videos on Douyin! I even follow you! Are you lecturing by the Xijiang River? I used to set up a stall there, but unfortunately I didn't run into you."

"Really? Thanks for your attention."

"So you're a fan," Chen Shi'an smiled and greeted you.

After recognizing Chen Shi'an, the seller girl looked increasingly familiar with Li Wanyin beside him.

"Oh! Aren't you the sister who often appears in the videos, the one who sells sweet soup near Chen Shi'an?"

"Yes."

"What a coincidence! So you're the one who wants to buy a street vendor cart. Are you planning to use it to sell desserts?"

They had all run stalls and businesses before, so they weren't shy when they met in person. The female seller seemed to be very talkative.

"Yes, we're planning to sell milk tea."

"Really? I was just thinking of learning from you and selling sweet soup."

The female seller got off her cart. "Then take a look at the cart first. This one is truly brand new. I've only used it for less than two months. I originally bought it to sell milk tea."

Chen Shi'an asked curiously, "Then why did you stop making it, sister?"

"Business is slow, I'm too tired, I think I'll go back and find a job... Um, Chen Shi'an, can I take a picture with you?"

"Well, yes."

Since he was a fan anyway, Chen Shi'an got off his bicycle, and the seller girl came over, raised her phone, and took a picture with him.

After taking the group photo, Chen Shi'an and Li Wanyin checked the car's condition together.

This street vendor vehicle is indeed quite new. The signboard has the words "Handmade Lemon Tea" in big letters. The vehicle is 1.8 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, and 2 meters high. When the canopies on both sides are closed, it looks like a small cargo box. When the canopies are open, it becomes a mobile shop. The overall function is designed to facilitate mobile business.

"Do you need a driver's license to drive this street vendor vehicle?" Chen Shi'an asked curiously.

"No need! This is what you call... an electric tricycle. The fastest it can go is only 25 kilometers per hour. If the battery runs out, you can still pedal it. But an electric tricycle requires a driver's license," the seller said.

Soon, Li Wanyin had finished inspecting the car. Apart from some dirt in certain areas, there was nothing wrong with it.

The price had already been agreed upon online, and now that both parties had confirmed there were no problems, the transaction was completed smoothly.

"Chen Shi'an, keep up the good work and make my car a success! I'll come to the West River to support you when I have time!"

"Okay, thank you."

In fact, for sellers, legitimate sellers prefer offline transactions within the same city to avoid sending their perfectly good items only to have them damaged and then blamed by someone else, leaving them with no recourse.

After buying the street vendor cart, Li Wanyin had completed all the preparatory work for setting up her stall.

After the seller left by bus, the older sister became as excited as if it were Chinese New Year, hopped on her electric tricycle, and looked eager to try it out.

"Can Sister Wanyin ride one?"

"Definitely! Let's go back, let's find a car wash and get the car washed! Then we'll go back to the neighborhood and fix it up a bit." "Okay, then Sister Wanyin, ride slowly and follow me."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Shi'an rode his bicycle in front, while Li Wanyin followed behind on her tricycle. The black cat, eager for novelty, didn't run to the back of Chen Shi'an's bicycle but jumped onto Li Wanyin's stall cart.

Half an hour later, the two leisurely rode back to Jiahe Street and washed their tricycle at a nearby car wash.

After washing it, it looks almost like a new car.

The water droplets on the car body sparkled in the sunlight. For the first time in her life, Li Wanyin owned her own street stall cart, and she felt extremely excited.

The community has designated parking sheds for non-motorized vehicles, which cost 50 yuan per month to rent, but charging is free.

After parking her tricycle according to the property management regulations, Li Wanyin went upstairs to move her things and start tidying up the vehicle.

Chen Shi'an wasn't idle either; he helped her with it.

First, replace the "Hand-beaten Lemon Tea" sign on the tricycle with "Tea and Fruit Squares".

The menu was also a KT board, with Chen Shi'an and Li Wanyin each holding one end, pasting it horizontally and neatly in a prominent position on the carport like pasting couplets.

In addition, Li Wanyin bought a lot of decorations, such as a retro spherical chandelier above the canopy, and she carefully wrapped irregular patterns with vines on the stainless steel frames on both sides of the truck bed, interspersed with a few clusters of artificial milk tea-colored roses, which not only covered the internal pipes, but also added a touch of fashionable romance.

The core operating area is on the left side of the truck bed. The custom-made stainless steel workbench is polished to a shine. The storage cabinets below the workbench are layered with disposable cups, straws, and resealable bags. A small erasable blackboard hangs on the outside of the cabinet doors, with the day's special drink written in colored markers. Next to the workbench, there is also a small Bluetooth speaker that plays soft, light music on a loop...

It's clear that Li Wanyin put a lot of thought and effort into this stall. She decorated the cart as if it were her own shop, showing remarkable care and attention to detail.

It took more than two hours just to decorate and set up this little stall. Li Wanyin didn't seem tired at all. Especially with Chen Shi'an helping her set up her dream, the bright autumn afternoon sun shone on the two of them. The golden warm light and the increasingly beautiful little stall made her feel very happy.

Wow! This is a husband-and-wife team!

Suddenly, a gasp rang in my ears.

Li Wanyin and Chen Shi'an, who were arranging the car, turned around and saw Wu Jiayun and Yan Yufei walking into the community.

"What husband-and-wife team? This is a siblings' stall! Feifei, you're talking nonsense again!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't react for a moment..."

Li Wanyin glared at the two of them with annoyance, then cautiously glanced at Chen Shi'an's reaction. Seeing that he didn't take it to heart, she felt relieved.

"Sister Jiayun and Sister Feifei came to visit Sister Wanyin?" Chen Shi'an greeted the two sisters with a smile.

"Yes, Shi'an, hello, it's been a long time."

Having shared a previous bike ride together, Wu Jiayun and Yan Yufei were much bolder when they saw Chen Shi'an again, which made Li Wanyin very nervous, fearing that the two of them would say something that would embarrass her so much that she would jump into the Xijiang River.

"Wanyin, your little car looks so beautiful!"

"We were just saying we'd come over and help you, but you've already finished everything!"

"Stop making noise, I thought you guys were lost."

"Wow, you thought we were lost and didn't even send a message to ask? Wanyin, you have no heart!"

"..."

I'm ashamed to say, if these two hadn't shown up, Li Wanyin would have completely forgotten about their visit...

They were all close friends who studied together in school, and now they are all working professionals. Wu Jiayun and Yan Yufei really admire Li Wanyin. After all, if it were them, they really couldn't do what she did: show their faces in public and set up a stall to do business.

That's why Wanyin can keep a young male high school student as a mistress, while I can only look on enviously from behind a screen...

"By the way, Shi'an, I heard from Wanyin that you went back to the mountains? You're back so soon?"

"Well, nothing else. Sister Wanyin is about to set up her stall. Come back and help her out when you have time."

"You're so thoughtful, Shi'an! No wonder Wanyin always speaks highly of you!"

Li Wanyin: "..."

Seeing that the shy Wanyin was about to blush again, Wu Jiayun took out her phone and laughed:

"Shi'an, stand with your sister Wanyin, let me take a picture of you two."

"Huh? What are you filming?"

"Just take a group photo of you all, and this street vendor cart, as a souvenir of setting up shop!"

"sure."

Chen Shi'an readily agreed and strode confidently to the street vendor's cart. Li Wanyin also stood beside him, her hands gently folded in front of her. Looking at her two best friends holding their phones, she suddenly realized that they weren't entirely useless.

"Stand closer! Closer!"

Wu Jiayun took a half step back while holding her phone, frowning as she adjusted the angle:
"Shi'an, why don't you put your hand on your sister Wanyin's shoulder? It'll look more intimate that way! That's how I take pictures with my brother. Who stands so straight when taking pictures with siblings?"

"sure."

Chen Shi'an agreed without hesitation.

He stood to Li Wanyin's left, so he raised his right hand, went around his sister's back, and put his arm on her shoulder, his palm resting on her shoulder.

The older sister, who always seemed calm and reliable, had such soft and delicate shoulders that Chen Shi'an felt as if he were holding a warm, light ball of cotton.

As his palm descended, Li Wanyin's body tensed up instinctively. The strands of hair hanging beside her cheeks swayed gently, just enough to cover half of her flushed face. Her hands, which had been hanging at her sides, didn't know where to go. Her fingertips secretly gripped the hem of her clothes, revealing a little bit of her white knuckles.

How could a photo shoot be complete without Fei Mo? The cat also nimbly jumped onto Chen Shi'an's shoulder.

A young man laughing heartily, a shy older sister with her head bowed, a clever and mischievous cat, and behind them a beautifully decorated little stall cart.

This is the taste!
Wu Jiayun and Yan Yufei bumped into each other, and she smiled like an auntie, snapping photos one after another.
