Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 9 - Treasure Box
The office of Qinhan Technology is now filled with the unique rice aroma of rice rolls.

Liu Bicheng, Lao Wang, Xiao Liu and others were all eating with relish.

I don’t know why, but after buying rice rolls from that snack stand, I felt much better and more relaxed.

When people relax, they eat more. A serving of rice rolls can be eaten up in no time.

Xiao Liu rubbed his still rumbling stomach and smacked his lips, savoring the taste. "Damn it! I was so careless! I only ordered one portion! This rice noodle roll really has a special appeal to my taste buds. It's so delicious!"

Liu Bicheng picked up a rice noodle roll and chuckled, "Don't underestimate this snack; it's a test of the chef's skill. Look at this rice noodle roll. The wrapper is as thin as a cicada's wing, like a piece of soft silk. It's even softer and more delicate, with a fragrant rice aroma. Paired with this sauce that's just the right amount of salty and fresh, with a hint of sweetness, it really gives you a warm feeling."

After saying that, he put the last piece of rice noodle roll into his mouth, chewed it twice and drank a big mouthful of soup. The delicious taste was infinitely magnified in his mouth, making him want to squint his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Liu was looking at Lao Wang eagerly.

The others were all eating at about the same speed, and almost finished a serving of rice noodle rolls. Only Lao Wang, the sixth one, bought two servings and the last cup of shrimp porridge.

At this moment, I was eating shrimp rice rolls and shrimp porridge with my chopsticks and enjoying myself.

Lao Wang took a big mouthful of shrimp porridge and put a piece of shrimp rice roll into his mouth. The thick shrimp porridge and the soft and glutinous rice roll blended together, and the small pearl-like rice grains and large pieces of shrimp blended together. The rich and delicious taste made Lao Wang almost forget where he was.

Lao Wang's eyes suddenly focused, he grabbed with both hands and twisted his body quickly, and the shrimp rice roll was in his hand.

And above the rice noodle rolls, a pair of chopsticks were suspended there awkwardly.

Xiao Liu smiled awkwardly: "Hey, Brother Wang, can you let me try the fresh shrimp? That portion is too small and I'm not full."

Lao Wang snorted, "Don't even think about it. If you want to eat, go buy it yourself tomorrow morning. This is not enough for me."

As he was speaking, Lao Wang suddenly felt a heaviness in his hand. He cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and hurriedly turned around again.

Then he quickly turned around and saw Boss Liu Bicheng holding the last piece of shrimp rice roll with a victorious look on his face.

Liu Bicheng smiled and put the rice noodle roll into his mouth.

"After all, it's my treat, so you should at least let me taste what this shrimp rice noodle roll tastes like, right?"

The atmosphere in the office today is particularly relaxed, and the dullness of the past few days is long gone.

Lao Wang was very confident about conquering that pile of shitty code, and he could even say that he was sure to succeed. Sitting in front of the computer again, he was like a general who was about to kill the enemy leader.

Brandishing the keyboard-like machete in his hand, Lao Wang once again launched a charge towards the Shit Mountain Code.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour.

As time passed, Lao Wang became more and more excited, until...

"It's done! Hahaha, it's done!!"

"Fuck, Brother Wang is awesome!"

"When the sun rises in the east, I am the only one who is invincible. I will rule the martial arts world for thousands of years! Brother Wang is the Li Lianying in my mind!"

"Xiao Liu, get out of here! That's Dongfang Bubai. What does it have to do with Li Lianying?"

"Boss Liu, boss Liu, please call the boss right away! I need to see our holiday approval tonight!"

"I need to book a train ticket now! If Zhou Paopi dares to ask me to come back to work before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I'm going to beat him to death."

"So the question now is..."

Xiao Liu suddenly said weakly, "Honestly, I haven't had enough of that rice noodle roll. The owner said it's only here for a week, and who knows where it'll be after the New Year. If I can't eat that rice noodle roll again, I think I won't be able to sleep."

The cheering crowd paused, licking their lips where the delicious gravy still lingered. "Xiao Wang is right. Back home, we can only eat big fish, big meat, big pork elbows, and big ribs, but we can't have rice noodle rolls anymore."

"And that little wooden fish. After I struck it today, I felt refreshed from the inside out. What should I do if I can't strike it anymore?"

A group of people looked at each other in confusion.

"How about we eat rice noodle rolls all day tomorrow?"

……

……

At this moment, Wang Fan began to count the money happily again. The total income was 2379.8 yuan.

100份猪肉肠粉1000块收入，100份鲜虾肠粉1200块收入，50份鲜虾粥150块收入。

The remaining 29.8 yuan was probably the income from the sandalwood wooden fish.

Although the money is not much, but considering the premise of earning it in one day, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Wang Fan felt as if he had just planted a seed in the morning, and by the evening it not only grew into a tree, but was also suddenly covered with red fruits.

I'll keep the remaining money to buy food and daily necessities, and save the other 2000 yuan to send to the hospital tomorrow at noon.

My second uncle's health condition is relatively stable now. He just needs to wait for the money to have the tumor removed through surgery.

When I went there in the morning, I spent 200 yuan to hire a nurse. If I really had to keep him there, I would never be able to raise enough money for the surgery.

The doctor said the estimated cost was around 20 yuan, and my second uncle's entire family savings was only 5 yuan, so naturally he had to find a way to pay for the remaining 15 yuan.

But that is the total cost, including the subsequent conditioning. The surgery alone will cost 5.

He had the surgery before and was worried that he would not get enough nutrition and medicine afterwards, so he planned to talk to the doctor about this tomorrow.

After all, it takes time to schedule surgery, and these few days are enough for him to save some more money.

He had been busy all day today. Making rice rolls is really hard work. He didn't have any electrical equipment, and even ground the rice slurry with a small stone mill.

Waves of strong sleepiness came over me, and my eyelids could no longer hold on and stuck together.

"Ding, the hang-up system has been activated."

"Host independently completed 100 servings of pork rice noodle rolls, 100 servings of shrimp rice noodle rolls, and 50 servings of shrimp congee, gaining 250 experience points. Current level: LV4."

This time, Wang Fan did not watch his body working, but immersed himself in dreams.

In the dream, there was a little old man, just over 1.7 meters tall, holding the young Wang Fan by his neck, and strolling around the bustling streets...

"Ding, AFK ended. 200 servings of pork rice noodle rolls are ready. 200 experience points earned. Current level: LV7."

"200 servings of shrimp rice noodle rolls completed. 200 experience points earned. Current level: LV8."

"Current stage - Beginner's guide. The experience required to level up has been increased to 1000 points."
