Chapter 171 After-get off work Extravaganza
The aroma of meat filled the air in front of greenhouse number one.
"call."
Liu Wei put down the takeout box he had already finished eating.
He took out a tissue to wipe the grease from his mouth and turned to look at Zhao Qiang and Li Na beside him.
The two of them had just finished swallowing the last mouthful of rice.
"That's amazing!"
Zhao Qiang patted his round belly, glanced at the empty lunchbox, and looked on with a look of unsatisfaction. "I didn't even chew properly just now. This meat sauce mixed with rice just slid right down my throat."
One hundred and twenty-eight, I'm happy to spend this money!
"Boss Lin's skills are truly unbeatable."
Li Na said with a smile, "No, I have to eat less at noon tomorrow and save room for the minced meat rice tonight."
The three of them tidied up the empty lunchboxes and threw them into the trash can next to them.
Liu Wei walked to the control panel and gave Lin Chen, who was busy at work, a thumbs up.
"Boss Lin, this new dish is simply amazing!"
The taste is impeccable, and the portion of meat is generous!
Liu Wei glanced at his watch and quickly said, "We still need to go back. Let's leave for today, and the same thing will do tomorrow!"
Lin Chen continued serving the food, nodding slightly: "As long as you eat well."
Take care.
"Brother Liu, Brother Qiang, Sister Na!"
Take care!
Wang Hai waved happily as he packed bags for the customers.
Tangtang, sitting on the small stool, put down her little basket and raised her two little hands.
Goodbye Uncle Liu! Goodbye Uncle Qiang! Goodbye Aunt Nana!
The little girl's voice was clear and soft.
"Tangtang is such a good girl, Auntie will come see you again tomorrow!"
Li Na smiled and waved to Tangtang.
The three then squeezed through the crowd and quickly ran towards the office building.
After seeing Liu Wei and the other two off, Lin Chen and Wang Hai had no time to catch their breath.
Because it was already 5:30 pm.
As the office buildings around Yintai Plaza came to their closing time.
"Da da da".
A large number of white-collar workers who had just finished clocking in and employees who were leaving work flocked to the summer food festival.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It's in greenhouse number one up ahead!"
"I can smell it! Holy crap, this stewed black pork smells amazing!"
"Forget about steak, we have to eat Boss Lin's new dish today!"
"Go late or it'll be gone!"
Amidst a flurry of hurried conversations, more and more people pinpointed the exact location of greenhouse number one.
The original queue of more than twenty people in front of the stall.
However, just a few minutes later.
The long queue suddenly turned a corner and stretched all the way from tent number one to the bottom of the steps of the main stage in the square!
Even the steps were packed with people, and diners kept joining the queue from the very end.
"Please don't push! Be careful! Line up one by one!"
Wang Hai looked at the scene and shouted.
He shouted to maintain order, tearing open the takeout bags incessantly, sweat streaming down his face.
"I'd like two servings of minced pork rice!"
"I've scanned the code!"
"Boss Lin, give me a fried rice and a minced meat rice to go!"
"I'd like three servings of minced pork rice!"
The diners' calls to place their orders rose and fell, filled with a strong sense of urgency.
"Ding! WeChat payment received, 128 yuan!"
"Ding! Alipay payment received, 227 yuan!"
"Ding! WeChat payment received: 512 yuan!"
The announcements from the payment loudspeakers became a continuous stream, echoing wildly throughout the No. 1 tent without ever stopping.
Lin Chen faced the pressure of this meal.
He held the takeout box in his left hand and an iron spoon in his right, scooping out the snow-white and crystal-clear Wuchang rice from the rice cooker.
Turn around.
The iron spoon was dipped into the large insulated container, and a full spoonful of minced meat coated in reddish-brown sauce was scooped up.
Slightly tilt your wrist.
"Splash!"
The gravy covered the rice.
Pick up two bright green Shanghai bok choy and garnish with a spoonful of pickled radish cubes.
He put the lid on and handed it to Wang Hai.
Here, uncle, your spoon!
"Thank you, beautiful lady, here's your spoon!"
Tangtang sat on a small stool, her big eyes intently fixed on the line.
As each customer passed by, she would carefully take a clean plastic spoon from her small basket and hand it to them, her little face full of focused attention.
In front of greenhouse number one, the atmosphere was bustling with activity, and the smoke from the cooking fire rose straight into the sky.
Meanwhile.
The owners of stalls number two and three next door were completely numb at this point.
The steak shop owner.
He leaned against his control panel, staring blankly at the ridiculously long queue in front of greenhouse number one.
Just now, he was certain that Lin Chen wouldn't be able to sell a second serving.
Now, looking at the non-stop payment notification sound from next door, which sounds like a money printing machine, he doesn't even have the energy to be jealous.
The owner of the Japanese restaurant at the third stall next door even pulled up a stool and sat down.
In the display case in front of him, the sliced salmon gleamed beautifully under the lights, but no one paid any attention to them.
Every customer who passed by was irresistibly drawn in by the aroma of meat wafting from next door.
They were completely relegated to the background.
……
5:45 PM.
Two eye-catching figures walked along the auxiliary road at the entrance of Yintai Plaza.
The woman walking in front was wearing a well-tailored beige business suit. She was tall and had a cool and capable demeanor.
It was Su Qingxue, who had just gotten off work.
Following behind her was Secretary Chen, dressed in a black business suit.
The two strolled leisurely into the heart of the summer food festival.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Lin is in greenhouse number one, right in the middle."
Secretary Chen said as he walked.
"Um."
Su Qingxue nodded slightly and looked ahead.
There's no need to deliberately search for it.
When they arrived at the center of the square.
Compared to the other deserted stalls, Lin Chen's stall was quite lively at the moment.
The queue in front of the booths stretched all the way to the steps of the main stage.
Upon seeing this, Secretary Chen stopped in his tracks.
"Oh My God……"
Secretary Chen looked at the queue and said, "President Su, Mr. Lin's business is booming!"
This line... is even more outrageous than the one at the flowerbed!
She roughly estimated that with this long queue, they would have to wait at least half an hour to get their meat rice.
Su Qingxue stopped and looked at the group of people in the greenhouse.
Lin Chen wore a pure black apron and moved swiftly and decisively.
Wang Hai, sweating profusely, was greeting the guests, while Xiao Tangtang sat obediently in the corner handing out spoons.
The scene was noisy, but in Su Qingxue's eyes, it exuded a reassuring, down-to-earth atmosphere.
"It tastes great, uses high-quality ingredients, and is made with top-notch craftsmanship."
Su Qingxue withdrew her gaze. "Such a booming business is well-deserved."
"Indeed. My stomach started protesting as soon as I smelled this aroma."
Secretary Chen nodded and said, "Let's go, President Su, let's hurry up and get in line, or I'm afraid Boss Lin's bucket of minced meat will be sold out!"
Su Qingxue nodded slightly.
The two arrived at the bottom of the steps of the main stage.
Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen ended up at the very back of the line.
