Di Kun immediately shared Tao Fu’s idea of using light-up toys to attract passersby.
Su Yue thought about it and found it feasible.
When she realized Di Kun had come to get money from her, her expression soured slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to take Di Kun and Su Yi to buy the light-up toys.
On their way, quite a few people approached Di Kun to buy juice.
Hmm… mostly young girls…
Before they even reached the store, Di Kun had already sold six cups of juice.
Su Yue glanced at Di Kun several times. She didn’t feel jealous; instead, she found him rare and valuable.
It was nighttime, so few people noticed his looks.
If it were daytime and he came to sell juice on the commercial street, business would definitely be better!
Yes… tomorrow, they must try it.
Unbeknownst to Di Kun, Su Yue was already preparing to let him “use his charm” to help earn money.
The three quickly found the shop that sold light-up toys.
The owner, upon hearing their needs, made a set of light-up toys for each of them on the spot.
The toys even had “Fresh Natural Juice for Sale” printed on them.
With the toys in hand, the three returned to the plaza to continue selling juice.
Su Yue initially planned to split up with Di Kun as before.
But Di Kun felt the plaza was crowded, and there was no need to split up.
Unable to persuade him otherwise, Su Yue stayed.
Then she saw that just by walking around a slightly brighter area, Di Kun kept attracting business.
Although she occasionally had customers, it was nothing compared to him.
Su Yi looked at his sister several times, worried she might be upset seeing how popular Di Kun was with women.
Su Yue, however, didn’t get upset at all; in fact, she was pleased.
Di Kun could help her earn money and earned more than she could herself of course she was happy.
After about half an hour, Di Kun had sold all the remaining juice.
A man came by, and Su Yue immediately gave him fifty more cups.
“Those who work hard get rewarded. Sell these, then come back for dinner tonight!” Su Yue said with a smile to Di Kun.
Hearing this, Su Yi nodded, grinning brightly.
Di Kun remembered the meal from tonight and felt a little tempted.
His wife’s cooking was surprisingly good she could cook Chinese food! Despite having little meat, the home-cooked meals were even better than what he ate on the front lines.
Yes, in the interstellar era, Western cuisine was common; Chinese food was rare.
Not because people disliked Chinese food, but because authentic Chinese food required natural ingredients and skillful cooking.
So, Di Kun readily agreed.
To please his wife, she even gave him an extra fifty cups of juice.
Now, he had a total of one hundred cups.
Sure enough, when Su Yue saw him requesting more, her gaze was filled with admiration.
This made Di Kun feel very proud, and he became much more proactive in selling juice.
By 9:30, the plaza gradually emptied.
It was time to wrap up.
Su Yue glanced at her star-coin account balance, reluctant to stop.
This man was more capable than she expected he had sold more than twice the juice she had sold tonight.
But time was late, and with only a limited number of pre-packaged juice remaining in her space, she decided to let it go, knowing they could continue selling tomorrow.
On the way back, Di Kun suggested Su Yue ride his hover bike, saying he had something to discuss with her.
Su Yue looked at him and agreed.
So, someone in a great mood, happily took his wife along.
“You said you had something to discuss,” Su Yue asked after they started moving, before he spoke.
“Mm.”
“There’s only one juicer at home it’s inconvenient to use.”
“Then buy another one. You can use one for sugarcane, the other for oranges. That way, you won’t need to clean it as often.”
“Better get a bigger model. Use the current one for oranges, the big one for sugarcane. You don’t need to cut the sugarcane too finely; just toss it in and juice it!”
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, “Mm.”
She didn’t like spending money, but for worthwhile investments, she was willing.
Hearing her agreement, Di Kun smiled.
“Then we’ll buy it later. Once we have it, we can work overtime tonight and juice more.”
Su Yue was tempted.
But thinking of the small rental apartment, she refused.
“Too late tonight. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow morning, my brother and I will go out of town to pick oranges. You can juice them at home.”
Di Kun froze.
“No, I’ll go with you to pick oranges, let your brother stay home and juice,” he quickly said.
This was an opportunity to spend time alone with his wife he had to seize it.
Su Yue was about to refuse, but Di Kun added, “I’ll drive Zhan Feng. We’ll finish picking oranges quickly. And even if we encounter star beasts, Zhan Feng can handle them.”
Su Yue’s heart moved.
Remembering the danger they faced yesterday, she agreed.
“Mm.”
The hover bike moved quickly, and soon the three returned near the rental apartment.
Su Yue took them to buy a larger juicer before returning home.
Inside the cramped apartment, everyone divided tasks and got to work.
Di Kun worked enthusiastically while chatting with his wife’s elder brother, asking about Su Yue.
Su Yi liked Di Kun very much he answered every question Di Kun asked.
However, the peaceful atmosphere didn’t last long.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Open the door! Quick!”
“Enough already! What are you doing at home all day, disturbing everyone!” It was the landlord, Madam Zhu.
Su Yi froze in fear, and Di Kun furrowed his brow.
Su Yue came out of the kitchen, about to ask Di Kun to put things away.
But she saw Di Kun heading to the door.
Before she could stop him, Di Kun had already opened it.
Madam Zhu, full of anger, was about to scold him but saw a stranger.
And he was incredibly handsome!
Her scolding froze mid-air. After two seconds, she realized who he was and looked inside the house.
But Di Kun moved to block her view.
Madam Zhu could only look at the doorway.
After several glances, she confirmed she had the right place.
“Y-You who are you? Where are Su Yue and that fool?!” Madam Zhu asked.
Di Kun’s expression darkened.
“Who are you calling a fool?” His displeased voice carried authority, a natural aura of a superior that made Madam Zhu’s face change.
“I”
“Leave” Di Kun said firmly.
Madam Zhu instinctively started to retreat.
But as she lifted her foot, something felt wrong.
“Why should I leave?! This is”
Under Di Kun’s gaze, she changed her words.
“I-It’s my house.”
“And the tenants? Where are Su Yue and Su Yi?!” Without knowing Di Kun’s background, Madam Zhu’s tone became much more polite.
Su Yue prepared to go check.
Just as she stepped out of the kitchen, Di Kun glanced back at her, signaling that he would handle this.
Su Yue hesitated and paused.
