With this series of actions, Su Ting gained a total of 92 emotion points, making a fortune.
He hummed a little tune happily as he scooped up the cooked meatballs one by one and took one to taste.
"This is really delicious. Compared to that idiot Zhu's cooking, mine is way better."
Clearly, all of this is thanks to the special seasonings provided by the system.
Otherwise, with Su Ting's mediocre cooking skills, he simply couldn't have made such delicious meatballs.
This made him quite reluctant to share it.
Just then, a group of little kids gathered at his door.
Most of them are about the same age as Chou Dandan, and are in the stage of playing in the mud and pee.
A pile of renovation materials was stacked in front of Su Ting's house, and when there were many people, dust immediately filled the air.
Children are naturally active, and this situation wouldn't do. So Su Ting quickly got up and walked into the courtyard.
Su Ting walked to his front door and saw a dozen or so stinky eggs staring straight at his house.
The longing in her eyes made his heart ache.
Life was so hard for people in those days.
If this were in later generations, even if you cooked meat at home every day, probably no child would make a special trip to come and see it.
Feeling a pang of reluctance, Su Ting decisively raised his hand and shouted loudly.
"Come on, kids, line up in front of me, and I'll give you candy."
After you've received your candy, you can go home. Uncle will bring you meatballs to eat later.
There's too much clutter around the entrance; be careful not to slip and fall.
Good children get candy and meatballs, but disobedient children don't get any.
Upon hearing that there were candies and meatballs to eat, the children rushed to Su Ting and crowded together to form a line.
Upon seeing this situation, Su Ting felt a headache coming on and quickly shouted.
"No cutting in line! Everyone line up one by one. Anyone who causes trouble won't get candy or meatballs."
Only after that did the group of kids start to line up obediently and wait.
Hearing the commotion, the neighbors in the front and back yards all came out to check what was happening.
Seeing Su Ting handing out candy to the children and promising to bring them meatballs that evening, everyone thanked him profusely.
"Su Ting, thank you so much. The child is just being childish."
"Su Ting, thank you so much. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help in the future."
In response to everyone's thanks, Su Ting quickly waved his hand:
"Don't mention it, we'll be neighbors living in the same courtyard from now on."
If I have done anything wrong, please forgive me.
After hearing Su Ting's words, everyone expressed their determination.
Su Ting turned to look at the children who were lined up neatly and handed each of them a White Rabbit milk candy.
Each child who received the candy earned Su Ting a favorability rating of 5 to 8.
This is truly a great deal!
Especially since it's money earned from children's pockets, a bag of milk candy only cost two points of favorability.
Hearing the commotion outside, the third uncle went out of his house.
Seeing Su Ting handing out candy, he looked at Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiekuang, who were lining up to receive it, with a pained expression on his face, and started to make his own plans.
After receiving their candy, the children rushed home to wait, because Su Ting was going to deliver meatballs later!
Among the people queuing were Qin Huairu's three children, who quietly stood at the end of the line.
It's not surprising that they might have faced rejection.
After all, children without parents by their side often suffer from certain discrimination.
Su Ting also gave Bang Geng a piece of candy.
This kid hasn't done anything bad to me yet, so I can't just hold a grudge against a child!
After getting the candy, Banggeng immediately dashed out the door like a gust of wind, clearly heading to show off to the other kids in the alley.
After thanking Su Ting, Xiao Dang and Huaihua were about to go home.
However, Su Ting stopped him. Su Ting squatted down, picked up Xiao Huaihua, and said to Xiao Dang.
"Xiao Dang! Go tell your mother that Xiao Huaihua is playing here for a while, and I'll take her back later."
As he spoke, Su Ting took out another piece of candy and handed it to Xiao Dang.
Xiao Dang looked at Su Ting for a while, then picked up the candy and ran back to her own yard.
Su Ting really liked Xiao Huaihua; she was both cute and quiet.
Su Ting remembered discovering this when watching a TV series in her previous life.
Of all the members of the Jia family, this child was the kindest and most sensible.
He has never caused any trouble since he was a child, and has always been well-behaved and obedient.
At this moment, Xiao Huaihua was held in Su Ting's arms and dared not move.
She stared wide-eyed at the uncle who gave her the candy, clutching another piece of milk candy that Su Ting had given her tightly in her hand.
Perhaps she was a little shy because she wasn't familiar enough with Su Ting yet, but that's okay, she'll get used to it in a while.
Su Ting carried Xiao Huaihua into the house; he still had to prepare peanuts and pork stew with vermicelli!
He placed Xiao Huaihua on the chair, took a bowl, picked up a meatball, and placed it in front of her, saying...
"Come on, little locust flower must be hungry. Try the meatballs Uncle made and see how they taste."
"Don't be afraid. Didn't Uncle just let you accept the candy from me? That means Uncle isn't a bad person."
After hearing this, Xiao Huaihua took the chopsticks, picked up a meatball, and prepared to taste it.
But she was still young, and the meatballs seemed too big for her; she couldn't pick them up with her chopsticks.
Seeing this, Su Ting immediately replaced it with a small soup spoon for her.
So, Xiao Huaihua was finally able to taste the delicious meatballs.
The moment she put it in her mouth, she excitedly looked up at Su Ting and said.
"Thank you, Uncle. I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life."
Su Ting was delighted to hear this and patted Xiao Huaihua's head with a smile.
Su Ting replied with a smile: "How old are you? You have a long life ahead of you!"
"If you want to come visit your uncle in the future, just come find him. Uncle will cook you something delicious, okay?"
Little Locust Flower nodded vigorously and replied, "I remember, Uncle."
"That's good. Eat the meatballs slowly and be careful not to choke."
After serving Xiao Huaihua a bowl of meat soup, Su Ting prepared to change the pot and start frying peanuts.
He couldn't help but sigh: Human babies are so adorable.
At this moment, Xiao Dang had already run home and told Qin Huairu that Xiao Huaihua had been left behind by Su Ting.
Chapter Five: The Real "Four Dishes and One Soup"
Qin Huairu glanced at the candy that Xiao Dang was clutching tightly in her hand, wondering why Su Ting had left Xiao Huaihua here.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi stepped forward and unceremoniously snatched a piece of candy from Xiao Dang's hand and stuffed it into her mouth, completely ignoring Xiao Dang's resistance.
"You didn't even know to offer such delicious food to your grandma first. You've spoiled me for nothing."
Qin Huairu! That new guy eats big meals every day, finishing his breakfast and then eating again in the evening.
He doesn't even know how to help our family out; he's such a spendthrift..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu became extremely anxious.
If Jia Zhangshi's words were overheard by outsiders, she herself would inevitably be implicated, so she immediately interrupted Jia Zhangshi:
"Mom! Are you trying to drive our family to ruin?"
"Su Ting is a soldier. If word gets out and people hear you saying this, how can we possibly stay in this courtyard?"
When Jia Zhangshi was interrupted by Qin Huairu, she was startled and realized that she had almost cursed the soldier Su Ting.
While relieved, he was also angry that Qin Huairu had interrupted him.
She glanced outside the door, and only felt relieved after confirming that no one was there. Then she shouted loudly at Qin Huairu.
"You've got some nerve, Qin Huairu! Now that you're all grown up, you dare to yell at me?"
Hey, Lao Jia, Dongxu, come quick!
