Chapter 194 The whole family came out to queue up
3:30 p.m.
As the alarm clock vibrated slightly, Lin Chen opened his eyes right on time.
He got up, got out of bed, and went into the kitchen.
The meat sauce in the thermos has been simmering for several hours and is now at its perfect peak.
Even with the lid on, the rich aroma of meat still wafts through the kitchen.
"Brother Chen, this tastes absolutely amazing."
The door opened, and Wang Hai walked out yawning, taking a deep sniff. "Ninety pounds of top-quality pork stewed together—the aroma is even stronger than yesterday!"
"Wash your face and get ready to load the truck."
Lin Chen gave the instructions in a calm tone.
"Alright!"
Wang Hai rushed into the bathroom, splashed cold water on his face haphazardly, and instantly sobered up.
At this moment, Tangtang also ran out of the bedroom, clutching her special little red plastic basket tightly in her small hands.
"Daddy, Uncle Fatty, the candy is ready!"
Let's go earn some little red flowers!
The little girl's big eyes sparkled, her face full of anticipation.
"Let's go! Let's go all out today!"
Wang Hai laughed loudly, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward.
Ninety pounds of minced meat with broth—it's a hefty amount.
Lin Chen and Wang Hai, one in front and one behind, held their breath as they carried the extra-large insulated container downstairs and carefully placed it into the trunk of the bread truck.
With over two hundred servings of rice and side dishes, the two cars were packed full.
It was 4 PM. A silver-gray secondhand bread cart and an electric tricycle drove one after the other into the auxiliary road of Yintai Plaza.
"Holy crap..."
As soon as they rounded the bend, Wang Hai, sitting in the driver's seat, slammed on the brakes. Looking at the scene ahead, he couldn't help but swear.
The area in front of greenhouse number one was absolutely packed with people.
Yesterday's queue was long, but at least it was solo queue.
Today was particularly bad; since it was Sunday, many diners brought their families, and the queue turned into a two-person line.
A dense mass, like a long dragon coiled across the square.
Conservative estimate: at least 150 people!
"Boss Lin! Boss Lin is here!"
Someone with sharp eyes shouted it out.
Immediately afterwards, the diners who had been "keeping watch" in the air-conditioned shopping mall next door all rushed out and quickly formed a queue at the back.
"Oh my, Boss Lin, you've finally shown up!"
Security captain Zhang Ge, covered in sweat, squeezed his way out of the crowd.
Today he brought in half of the security guards from the square to set up a cordon.
"Brother Zhang, this is quite a big event today."
Wang Hai parked his car, jumped out, and greeted everyone with a smile.
"How could it not be big? These people have been shopping in the mall for ages, watching the side road, just waiting for your car!"
Brother Zhang wiped his sweat, glancing at the crowd with lingering fear. "If you hadn't come soon, these starving people probably would have ripped this greenhouse off the ground!"
Lin Chen took out the car keys and picked Tangtang up from the car.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Zhang."
Lin Chen nodded to Brother Zhang.
"No trouble at all, you guys hurry up and set up your stall and start cooking, that's the biggest help you can give me!"
Brother Zhang waved his hand and quickly ran back to maintain order in the group.
"Captain Sugar is here!"
The few regular customers at the front of the line immediately greeted the little girl with smiles when they saw her carrying the plastic basket.
Hello, uncles and aunties!
Tangtang waved her little hand politely, then skillfully carried her red stool to the edge of the workbench and sat down.
The little girl patted the basket full of spoons and puffed out her little chest: "Everyone, line up properly! No spoons will be given out if you don't line up!"
"Haha! Don't worry, squad leader, we'll definitely follow the rules!"
A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the crowd, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.
Without further ado, Lin Chen and Wang Hai quickly entered battle mode.
When the two of them lifted the extra-large insulated bucket onto the workbench, there was a muffled "bang," and the entire stainless steel workbench sank.
The diners at the front of the line stared wide-eyed at the insulated container, which was a whole size bigger than yesterday's.
"Everyone, please calm down!"
Wang Hai picked up a large iron ladle with a long handle and shouted loudly, "We've all seen the opinions from everyone in the group last night."
Today, Boss Lin specially increased the quantity, a full ninety catties of premium minced pork!
There will be plenty!
Upon hearing the number "ninety jin," a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.
"Boss Lin is a true friend!"
"This is awesome! I have to buy three today!"
"Hurry up and open the pot, Fatty Wang! My mouth is watering!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Chen remained calm, tied his apron, and unfastened the metal buckle of the insulated bucket with one hand.
The lid was lifted. Without any fancy process, the rich, simmered aroma of meat, cooked to perfection, swept across the entire square as if a seal had been broken.
Lin Chen gripped the large iron pot with his left hand and deftly turned on the high-powered stove with his right.
Heat the oil in a pan until fragrant! "First person! What would you like to order? Open your payment code in advance!"
Wang Hai was beaming, the packing box in his hand poised to go.
The first person in line was a man in his thirties with a buzz cut, accompanied by his wife and seven or eight-year-old son.
"Boss, three servings of minced meat rice, please!"
Family photo!
The older brother rubbed his hands together excitedly, "I saw people bragging about it in the group chat all night yesterday, and I was so envious I couldn't sleep half the night. I specially brought my wife and kids to come and wait for it today!"
"Alright! Three servings of minced pork rice, 384 yuan after scanning the code!"
Wang Hai moved with lightning speed.
Three generous spoonfuls of reddish-brown minced meat are placed on top of snow-white rice, and the thick broth instantly seeps in.
The food was bagged and handed out. Just as the older brother took the lunchbox, Tangtang stood up from the stool and handed him three clean spoons.
"Uncle, here's your spoon!"
Tangtang smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Thank you, squad leader!"
The older brother's wife loved it so much that she reached out and took it.
The family of three didn't even look for seats; they simply sat down on the steps of the flower bed next to them, lifted the lid, and started shoveling food into the pot.
"This meat...it's amazing!"
The older brother ate without even lifting his head.
Having experienced this initial shock, the rest of the group completely descended into a frenzied, rice-eating frenzy.
"Next!"
"Give me four servings! To go, please!"
"Two servings of minced pork rice, and one serving of fried rice!"
......
Wang Hai has become a ruthless food-serving machine.
Lin Chen tirelessly tossed the wok in front of the blazing stove, the golden fried rice tumbling in mid-air.
"Ding! WeChat payment received: 512 yuan!"
"Ding! Alipay payment received, 355 yuan!"
"Ding! WeChat payment received, 128 yuan!"
......
The payment notification sounds from the smart speaker became a continuous stream at that moment, with almost no pauses.
This is the true money-making speed of Greenhouse No. 1!
With 90 kilograms of stock and a huge influx of families, the event on Sunday evening turned into a thoroughly enjoyable money-making frenzy!
