Chapter 19: Queuing to buy boxed lunches!
Zhang Keke swallowed, a little confused. "Why are there so many people?"
The live stream chat was also stunned.
"Isn't it lunchtime yet? Shouldn't the construction workers be working?"
"Judging from their clothes, they are quite clean and don't look like construction workers."
"The construction machines are still running, so where did all these people come from? There are men, women, and children!"
"Should the anchor go check out the front?"
Zhang Keke nodded, picked up her equipment, and tried to walk around the queue to the construction site. But she hadn't taken two steps when she was stopped by a burly man.
"What are you doing? Trying to cut in line?" The burly man stared at her with an unfriendly expression.
Zhang Keke was startled and explained in a low voice, "I came here to check out the restaurant..."
"Exploring a restaurant? What's that?" The big man frowned.
"It's just, tasting food and doing reviews..." Zhang Keke explained carefully.
Before he could finish speaking, the burly man sneered, "That settles it then. So you're just here to buy a boxed lunch. If you want to eat, you'd better line up properly!"
Zhang Keke was taken aback and was about to say something when she heard a loudspeaker announce: "Please maintain order and line up in order! Anyone who cuts in line will not be sold!"
She suddenly realized. So, all these people were after the construction site's communal meals!
Looking ahead, the line had already stretched into a long queue. She had no choice but to obediently move to the back of the line and join it.
When she chatted with the people next to her, she was even more surprised to find that they were all residents from the neighborhood!
"Big brother, doesn't anyone cook at your house?" Zhang Keke couldn't help but ask, her face full of doubt.
It's almost lunchtime, why aren't you eating at home? Why are you running around the construction site queuing to buy boxed lunches?
"You call the food your wife makes at home? Compared to this, it's like heaven and earth!"
"My cousin works on this construction site and said the food here is absolutely delicious, so I have to come and try it!"
"My son is here too, and he strongly recommended I come. He said I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't!"
"Can you smell it? They're cooking at the construction site. Can you even make this smell at home?"
The people around were extremely excited, pointing ahead and inhaling the air deeply through their noses, as if they were smelling some kind of celestial fragrance.
"That's...too exaggerated." Zhang Keke shrank her neck, feeling a sudden sense of fear for no reason.
These nearby residents are crazy! They're so enthusiastic about this construction site's communal meals that they don't even eat at home, instead queuing up here under the scorching sun.
In comparison, the video circulating online of the worker frantically eating rice seems perfectly normal.
"Holy crap? These people are all local residents? Are they all crazy?"
"Is the food at this construction site really that good? Is it worth braving this scorching sun and waiting in such a long line?"
"Excuse my bluntness, but could these people be shills again?"
"Judging from their expressions, does food cooked on a construction site smell this good?"
The viewers in the live stream were full of questions. Zhang Keke glanced at the comments and said truthfully, "There's a smell of food in the air right now. To be honest, it really smells delicious."
You see, she rushed over overnight without even having breakfast. This aroma amplified her hunger several times over.
"Don't worry, everyone. Once I get the boxed lunches, the whole truth will be revealed!" She endured the scorching sun and obediently joined the queue.
Two hours later, Zhang Keke finally reached the front of the line and saw the "staff".
"Four dishes and one soup, one spoonful of each dish, plus rice, fifteen yuan a serving." Soon, she got a set meal in a disposable lunchbox.
"Fifteen yuan, not expensive." The set meal was very generous in portion and smelled delicious. After queuing for two hours, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating right away.
"This taste... um..." She shuddered all over after just the first bite, as if she had been electrocuted.
Immediately afterward, she disregarded her image and began to wolf down her food, finishing the entire meal in no time.
After finishing the meal, he even licked the remaining sauce off the utensils, still seemingly wanting more.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned once again.
"How is the food actually? Is it as amazing as people online claim?"
"Judging from the streamer's blissful expression, I think I already know the answer."
"Hey streamer, say something! Stop licking your cutlery!"
"Two hours of queuing, five minutes to eat?"
As Zhang Keke's loyal fans, they had never seen any food so captivating to her.
"Uh, I ate too fast just now, I haven't even tasted it yet." Zhang Keke blushed and quickly said, "But don't worry, everyone, I'll come back tomorrow and buy a few more. I'll definitely expose the truth about these construction site lunches!"
After saying that, she walked straight to a nearby resident's house, intending to pay to stay there for the night.
The next morning at nine o'clock, Zhang Keke learned her lesson and arrived at the construction site early. She discovered that someone was even more "outrageous" than she had imagined. The line to buy boxed lunches already stretched for dozens of people.
"It's so complicated. Do you think it's easy for me to get this food?" It's not even noon yet, but she still came to queue up three hours early.
At 12:20, it was her turn. She bought eight boxed meals in one go.
"I'm starving! I didn't even eat breakfast because of this." She opened the cutlery and started eating heartily, finishing one serving in no time, then immediately opened another...
"Wow! Looks like the food at this construction site is really good, the streamer bought eight portions at once!"
"Just how delicious is it? It looks so good, I want to drive out and buy some!"
"I've already set off. It's not far from this construction site, only 80 kilometers away."
"Eighty kilometers?! Driving eighty kilometers just to buy a boxed lunch?"
In the live stream, no one questioned the deliciousness of the construction site meals anymore. If they weren't tasty, Zhang Keke wouldn't have stayed in this remote mountain village until the next day, much less bought eight portions at once.
Local residents wouldn't abandon their own meals to come here and queue up.
Half an hour later, Zhang Keke finished all the boxed lunches and patted her bulging belly with satisfaction.
"This is so delicious! I've never had such a good boxed meal!" she announced to the camera. "I've decided to stay here one more night!"
The audience: "..."
Meanwhile, Zhang Keke's "restaurant review" video was posted online. Netizens then discovered that the food at this construction site was even more outrageous than they had imagined.
Nearby residents even stopped eating at home and flocked to the construction site to queue up just to buy a boxed lunch. The construction site's boxed lunches have once again gone viral online.
"Holy crap? A famous food blogger is refusing to leave the construction site? Is this lunchbox that appealing?"
"Those who say the workers are shills, step forward and speak!"
While the discussion was ongoing, netizens also turned their attention to the still-unfinished cafeteria at Haichuan University.
After all, Wei Ying cooked the meals at the construction site, and he also built Haichuan University. If the food at the construction site is this good, then the cafeteria at Haichuan University must be pretty good too.
Among them, students from the four provinces of eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, western Haixi and northern Haixi were the most enthusiastic and full of expectations for the canteen of Haichuan University.
Being admitted means four years of university life. And the cafeteria is an unavoidable hurdle.
