Chapter 310: Chapter 139: Ding! You Have a New Delicious Custom Order

In a social circle like theirs.

They had a get-together with their girlfriends at least once a week. They called them "little parties," but really, it was just an excuse to gather and chat about the latest luxury goods and other similar topics.

Where they went or what they ate wasn’t the point.

The most important thing was that the chosen location had to be photo-worthy, and the food had to be photogenic!

"I added their product manager!" She had already scanned the QR code on the advertisement board.

The moment she added them as a friend, she immediately received a message.

It laid out the company’s information regarding gourmet customizations.

"Requirements, budget? Number of people, and dining time!"

"How interesting." This novel dining method immediately piqued the interest of the other young, wealthy women.

"Yup!" Zhang Jiayi thought for a moment. "Well, going by our usual standards..."

With that, she typed a line of text into the input field.

[Dining time: tomorrow at noon, twelve o’clock. Number of people: four. Budget: 4,000 to 5,000. Requirements: First, it must be beautiful and perfect for taking gorgeous photos~ Second, it has to be delicious. Nothing else~]

After sending the message, Zhang Jiayi looked up again at the long line. "Since none of us want to run into Coach Shen, maybe we should just skip it for tonight?"

It was a shame, but they had to give up on the idea.

"Let’s just forget it then. I refuse to believe Coach Shen comes here to eat every single day! We have our get-together tomorrow, so we’ll come back and wait the day after!"

"Okay, okay, Jiayi, if that product manager replies, remember to let us know what’s up, okay?"

Zhang Jiayi waved her phone. "No problem~"

The other three had no choice but to get out of the car, find their own vehicles, and leave the Pedestrian Street. Zhang Jiayi lingered for another moment and saw Shen Ning get her second dish, only to go right back to the end of the line to queue up again. Frustrated, she finally left the Pedestrian Street.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaobo was so busy his scalp was tingling.

"What the hell! What the hell! Sister Shengnan, what are our earnings for today?"

Liu Shengnan wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Running an outdoor stall wasn’t like being in an office; there was no air conditioning. A few strands of her hair were now stuck to her forehead.

"I’m dizzy... We’ve already sold over 7,000... And I think the boss is getting more and more fired up!"

Bai Xiaobo let out a great cry to the heavens, "Let’s do this! Sister Shengnan, can you ask the boss if he’ll take a four to five thousand order?"

"Okay!"

After finishing her current task, Liu Shengnan ducked into the food truck, where Su Chen was still frantically showing off his skill of stir-frying in two woks at once.

"Boss, Bai Xiaobo says there’s a four to five thousand order for tomorrow. He’s asking if you’ll take it."

"Is it from the nineteenth floor?" Su Chen’s hands didn’t stop moving.

Liu Shengnan: "Yes, the nineteenth floor. I was thinking that if it’s a custom meal for the nineteenth floor, the renovations won’t be a big issue. Besides, they said they want to dine at twelve noon, and the renovation crew will be on break then."

Su Chen divided the cooked dishes into small bowls—this time it was two portions of Stir-Fried Yellow Beef and two portions of scrambled eggs with tomato—and sent four customers on their way.

As he started prepping more ingredients, he asked, "What are the requirements?"

"Uh, I’ll have to go ask Bai Xiaobo. He didn’t give me the details just now."

"Alright, we’ll sell for a little while longer, then close up. We can talk about it on WeChat."

Su Chen noticed that his task progress for the day was already over seven thousand. This was the result of nearly four hours of running the stall.

For those four hours, everyone had been working nonstop, yet the line in front of them just kept getting longer.

What was even more ridiculous was that after Zhan Yang invented that technique, many other customers started to copy him.

Now, in this line of a hundred-odd people, almost everyone was holding a dish, eating while they queued.

It was just absurd!

"Shuting, grab the megaphone and announce that we’re closing in ten minutes. Tell everyone to stop queuing and disperse."

"You got it!" He Shuting’s voice was already a little hoarse.

After He Shuting shouted the announcement three times, not only did the line not get any shorter, but on the contrary, even more passersby joined the queue out of curiosity.

This time, Su Chen was completely dumbfounded.

"That’s it, no more! We’re closing up now!"

The moment ten minutes were up, Su Chen immediately tossed his wok aside. "Closing time, closing time!"

"Boss, I’ve waited in line all the way to here. How can you just stop serving?" Shen Ning was stunned.

After eating two servings of scrambled eggs with tomato, she felt that not only was she not full, she was actually getting hungrier!

But as the line grew, the waiting time got longer and longer. She had finally, with great difficulty, made it to her turn again, and now the boss was calling it quits?

"Yeah, I’m done for today. I’m tired."

Shen Ning was about to say something to try and persuade him, but she hadn’t expected the boss’s reason for refusal to be so simple and unadorned that it was impossible to argue with!

"Boss, will you be back tomorrow then?" Shen Ning had to settle for the next best thing.

Su Chen pointed to the advertisement board outside. "Not sure. But if you want to eat, you can check this out."

After speaking, Su Chen quickly washed his hands, straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, and immediately jumped down from the food truck.

Since Ling Shuyu had worked late overnight, he didn’t have his usual ride in her Mercedes-Benz today.

"Bai Xiaobo, go hail a cab over there. The rest of you, clean up here. You’re coming with me."

It wasn’t technically closing time yet, but by the time they finished cleaning up, it would be.

「A moment later.」

As the taxi brought the two of them back to the Meiweilai Building, Su Chen spoke up in the elevator.

"We can take this order."

"As for the menu, don’t worry about it. I’ll personally handle the dishes for this one."

Although Bai Xiaobo was confused, he didn’t say anything. Seeing that Su Chen had no further work to assign, he hailed another cab and went home.

After returning to the company, Su Chen first took a shower.

He had to admit, with all the stir-frying in the food truck’s environment, the greasy smoke was a real problem.

But running the stall was just a temporary measure, not a long-term plan, so he’d have to put up with it for now.

’This order is very interesting.’

Su Chen went over to his lounge chair, piecing together the details from Bai Xiaobo’s explanation.

First, the order came from a friend request he received while running the stall, which meant the advertisement board was actually working.

Second, the order was for a handsome sum; there was no reason to turn it down.

Finally, there was an important reason Su Chen took the order: it was interesting!

’Taste is secondary; the main thing is that the dishes must be beautiful?’

He really wanted to see what kind of person would make such a strange custom request.
