Chapter 107 Next Time, We Must Replace Someone

Chapter 107: Must Change People Next Time

Once Bai Yutong was done, the next few customers were all members, making the transactions quite pleasant.

The next customers were a man and a woman, both new faces.

They were Yu Yingting and Yan Guanyu.

Jiang Yingxue asked, "Are you two here to buy food? To buy from this stall, you need a membership card. Which color card would you like to apply for?"

She pointed towards the display stand for membership card applications.

Yu Yingting's eyes were filled with disdain as she said, "Haven't been to a street stall in ages. Do you need a membership card to buy things from stalls now, or is it just the stalls in J City that are like this?"

"Small towns always have to be different."

Yan Guanyu was also encountering a street stall that required a membership card for the first time. Although the food from this stall had high nutritional value, it didn't change the fact that it was a street stall.

Jiang Yingxue stated flatly, "I'm not sure about other stalls or other big cities, but my stall only serves customers with membership cards."

"If you don't have a card or are unwilling to apply for one, then please turn around and leave."

"We never said we wouldn't apply." This was a task assigned by the professor; she didn't want to go back empty-handed. Moreover, the food from this stall was related to their research work. No matter how much Yu Yingting looked down on it, she still had to buy it.

She cast a disdainful glance at the membership card display board and then said to Yan Guanyu, "Yan Guanyu, you apply for one."

Yan Guanyu looked at her, seemingly asking: Aren't you applying?

Yu Yingting shot a sidelong glance at the stall and said coldly, "My wallet is full of membership cards for high-end clubs and brands. There's no room."

Yan Guanyu took out his own wallet and said, "Alright then, I'll apply."

Since Miss Yu's wallet was 'small,' he would use his own. His wallet could fit ten Xuehe stall membership cards.

Before heading down the mountain, both professors had instructed them: besides buying food for lunch, they were to bring back two portions of every other item from the Xuehe stall.

Cost was not an issue; it could be reimbursed.

Yan Guanyu gave Jiang Yingxue an enthusiastic smile and said, "Boss, I'd like to apply for a purple membership card."

"Okay." Noting Yan Guanyu's good attitude, Jiang Yingxue got him set up.

After topping up 20,000 yuan and registering his personal information, they ordered: 10 nutritious bento boxes, 10 rice balls, 5 roast chickens, 5 roast ducks, 3 large cups of Qiong Peach Juice, 3 large cups of Buddha Lotus Seed Juice, 2 servings of Spirit Hawthorn Juice and 2 cups of Immortal Brew Honey Water, along with the full set of Spirit Flower Cookies (7 flavors), Xia Yu Flower Candy, and Soothing Tea—two portions of each of these three items.

Jiang Yingxue said, "Mr. Yan, your total for this purchase is 40,800 yuan. You still need to pay 20,800 yuan."

"Mhm." Yan Guanyu swiped his card to pay again.

"Okay, you've earned 408 points this time." Jiang Yingxue handed the purple membership card back to him along with a membership points gift catalog.

Yan Guanyu curiously flipped through a few pages. "Boss, can I redeem points now?"

Jiang Yingxue replied, "Yes."

"I'd like two sets of Spirit Fruit Wine and two sets of Spirit Flower Cookies."

"Okay."

Two minutes later, Yan Guanyu was carrying four large bags filled with food.

He looked at Yu Yingting beside him, standing there empty-handed, and said, "Yu Yingting, take one bag, the lightest one."

Yan Guanyu extended the bag containing Soothing Tea, Xia Yu Flower Candy, and one set of Spirit Flower Cookies towards Yu Yingting.

Who would have thought Yu Yingting would just glance sideways at the bag without saying a word and walk straight ahead.

Yan Guanyu paused on the spot, feeling extremely frustrated. What a terrible temper!

His hands hurt from the bag straps, and now he was being angered too!

If he had to run errands with this Miss Yu again next time, he'd bail! They must change people!

One hour later, Yan Guanyu, panting heavily, carried the four bags of food up the mountain.

Upon reaching the top, he saw Yu Yingting already sitting outside the tent enjoying the cool breeze. He was cursing her out in his head. Really, if he ever went down the mountain on an errand with her again, he'd be a pig!

They had come up the mountain at the same time. Although she was a female classmate, Yan Guanyu hadn't insisted on splitting the weight equally; he had offered her the lightest bag. But she wasn't even willing to share that lightest load, showing no sense of cooperation at all. Anyone would be angry.

"Guanyu, you've worked hard. Come sit down quickly." Professor Cen and the students from his team hurried over to meet him, some taking the bags, others helping Yan Guanyu sit down.

Yan Guanyu took the receipt from his pocket and handed it to Professor Cen, saying, "Professor, here's today's receipt, and this bag contains gifts redeemed with points."

Professor Cen took the receipt, glanced at the bag containing the box of Spirit Flower Wine, picked up a drink nearby, checked it against the receipt, and handed him the most expensive Immortal Brew Honey Water. "You've had a tough day today."

"It's my duty," Yan Guanyu waved his hand. "Professor, these two cups of honey water were bought for you and Professor Luo."

Professor Cen pretended to be angry and glared at him. "Hey, I said for you to drink it, so drink it."

At that moment, a female voice came from the opposite side. She said, "Yingting went down the mountain today too. Yingting also worked hard today." The speaker was Zhao Yishan.

As soon as the words fell, multiple pairs of eyes turned simultaneously to look at Zhao Yishan who spoke and Yu Yingting beside her. The atmosphere on-site fell into an eerie silence; you could even hear a leaf falling from a tree.

Two seconds later, Professor Luo laughed, "Haha, everyone worked hard today. It's past mealtime; let's spread out the picnic cloth and get ready to eat." Even if a student was in the wrong, for a student with such a deep background, Professor Luo could only force a smile and coax her through gritted teeth.

Today, each team had sent one member down the mountain to buy lunch. Originally, it was supposed to be two male students, as carrying food up the mountain was manual labor. But Professor Luo's team had put forward Yu Yingting.

Initially, they thought, a girl is a girl; after all, everyone knew this trip down the mountain was for procurement. They didn't expect Yu Yingting to fully embody the style of a pampered young lady, not sharing any of the load at all, acting like a freeloader in the team.

It seemed she went down the mountain just to avoid work on the mountain, for a leisurely stroll. Professor Cen was also utterly speechless inside.

"Thank you, Professor."

Yan Guanyu inserted the straw and took a big sip. The next second, his eyes widened.

Two seconds later, he handed the Immortal Brew Honey Water to the professor and said, "Professor, try this quickly! This taste! It's incredible!"

"If it's good, finish it. Don't waste it." Professor Cen didn't take it. Instead, he picked up another unopened cup of Immortal Brew Honey Water. He used a small knife to cut the seal, poured half into his own cup, and handed the other half to Professor Luo.
