Their movements turned rigid, as if their limbs had forgotten how to function. Awkwardness seeped into every step, and their gazes darted everywhere but forward.
Elizabeth glanced over her shoulder and caught the three kids frozen in place, their faces pal as if a beast stood before them. A laugh slipped out of her before she could stop it.
She spun around, clapping her hands to break their trance. “Come on, pull yourselves togeth There’s nothing to be nervous about. Just relax.”
She gestured at the crowd with a flick of her wrist. “See those people? They are all here for ou potatoes and sweet potatoes. Think of them as walking wallets.”
She shifted into business mode. “Peter, be braver. Stick with Fiona and help her sell sweet potatoes. Tasha and Selina, you’re with me at the potato stand. Take orders, fetch goods from the storage button, bag them, and hand them over. Understood?”
“Yes, got it!” The three inhaled deeply, straightened their backs, and nodded with newfound resolve.

“Alright!” Elizabeth swept her gaze over her team, pride flashing in her expression. “Let’s get to work and show them what Planet A001 can do!”
She strode forward, cutting a confident path straight into the crowd that had been waiting restlessly.
Instantly, a ripple of excitement swept through the line as customers spotted Elizabeth.
“She’s here! The boss is here!”
“She brought more help this time!”
“Don’t push! Let her through!”

Elizabeth smiled, stepping into her usual spot to set up her stall.
Fiona joined her in silence, taking her position at the second table.

Tasha and Selina hovered close to Elizabeth, their hands clammy as they faced the
eager mob.
But the memory of their responsibilities and the trust in Elizabeth’s eyes fueled their courage, and they forced themselves to stand tall.
“Thank you all for waiting,” Elizabeth called out, her voice steady and clear, radiating reassurance. “Our potatoes are the best you’ll find, and the sweet potatoes are just as good. Supplies are limited. Once we’re out, that’s it.”
As her words hung in the air, two tables materialized before the crowd.
Elizabeth and Fiona each took a table, officially opening for business.
“Order number, please.” Elizabeth greeted each customer and checked their order numbers on projected holographic screens.
Once she confirmed an order, she called out the sweet potato count to Fiona, then pulled the correct amount of potatoes from her storage button.
Tasha and Selina bagged the goods, moving with growing confidence.
Fiona and Peter worked in tandem, one fetching, one sealing the bags.
Soon, the first customer received a bag of potatoes and a bag of sweet potatoes.
He was a regular, and he flashed a grin as he joked, “You’re a lot faster with help. I believe in you, Tycoon Boss. You’re going to be the richest person in the Kingdom one day.”
Elizabeth’s smile glimmered in her eyes. “Thanks. I’ll take the blessing.”
Order after order flew by, and Peter, Tasha, and Selina grew faster and more skilled.
