Food: My food truck can be upgraded indefinitely.

Chapter 55 Don't underestimate the bond between me and my boss!

In this era.

People who don't look at their phones while eating are extremely rare.

Eating while watching a favorite variety show or TV series, or simply scrolling through videos with one hand, has long become the standard practice for modern people.

A young couple might eat together without saying a word the entire time.

But what about now?

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the small shop, and not a single one of them took out their phone.

Almost everyone took only one bite after starting to eat, and then it was as if they suddenly realized that the food on the screen was tasteless, so they put down their phones and began to concentrate on tasting it.

Could it be?

An unrealistic possibility popped into Li Wen's mind.

Could this steak possibly taste better than those braised duck dishes?

Not likely.

Although he still didn't quite agree with it, Li Wen still felt a little curious.

and so.

As soon as the second batch of steaks came out, Li Wen immediately got up and practically rushed to get one for himself.

He hadn't even sat down yet

Upon smelling the fragrance again, one of the students immediately jumped up from his chair:

"No, I have to order another one! It's so comforting to eat something hot on a rainy day."

Upon hearing him say this, the other two also stood up at the same time, their chair legs scraping against the ground with a screeching sound.

They're all college students, and they all love playing basketball, so their metabolism is naturally fast.

Two steaks with pasta were a bit much, but it was still manageable to eat them.

Is it really that exaggerated?

Li Wen repeated the sentence to himself once again.

He was an introverted person. Although he was already shocked to the core, he did not show it and simply sat down quietly.

but.

This time, his attitude towards the steak was finally much more balanced.

He first took a sip of the mineral water he had brought to moisten his throat before starting to eat.

The first bite.

He instinctively closed his eyes, intending to ignore the surrounding noise and focus solely on experiencing the sensations.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

The beef was so delicious that he didn't need to do much preparation.

The beef is tender and juicy.

The moment his teeth pierced through, the juices burst open in his mouth like a tiny, warm water balloon. The flavor overwhelmed him, impossible to escape even if he wanted to.

Li Wen suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his pupils.

Sight, smell, and taste.

All three senses were frantically sending out intense stimulating signals, vying to tell him:

This beef is fucking delicious.

Li Wen lowered his head, and his hands began to work busily with the knife and fork.

Use a knife and fork to cut the beef continuously, cut off a piece, fork it up, and put it in your mouth;

Cut again, fork again, send again...

Each bite reveals a distinct, rich flavor, yet it seems somewhat different from the previous one.

Sometimes the aroma of caramel comes first, followed by the aroma of milk;

Sometimes the aroma of soy sauce arrives first, followed by a sweet aftertaste;

Sometimes it's like three flavors layered together, dancing a waltz on the tip of your tongue.

It's like a random combination.

You don't know which of the three flavors will come first, or which flavor will be the dominant one on this piece of beef.

This way of eating even gave him the surprise of opening a blind box, with the next piece always holding the unknown and anticipation. Coupled with the craving feedback from his body, it made him unable to stop eating.

"It's so delicious!"

The usually reserved Li Wen finally broke down, finishing the entire steak in one go. With a bit of brown sauce still on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

opposite.

The three students had already eaten one serving.

Seeing his expression, I laughed heartily.

The wind and rain outside were still strong, with raindrops pounding against the glass door, and the wind whistling as it seeped in through the cracks.

But their stomachs felt warm inside, and that warmth spread from their stomachs to their limbs, making their bodies warm as well.

The warmth of the body heat caused the raindrops that had been picked up upon arrival to turn into wisps of white mist, drifting into the room and gradually raising the indoor temperature, making it even warmer.

The diners were very satisfied.

But Lingyun, the head chef, was extremely anxious!

It was raining heavily today, and he had only prepared 100 portions of food. This group of people ate more than 20 portions, and it was already past 5 o'clock.

It's obvious that 100 servings won't be enough tonight.

Having finally completed the orders from this batch of customers, Lingyun immediately began preparing new stock.

The spices were prepared in advance, and he quickly stir-fried them. The key was that marinating took time, and the pasta also needed to be cooked for a while.

Fortunately, after this wave of guests, only a few more guests arrived sporadically.

The first group of guests had rested enough and gradually left. At this moment, the rain subsided a bit, and only four or five guests remained in the shop.

Make use of this half hour.

Lingyun prepared another two hundred steaks.

And at this moment

"fortunately!"

He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, muttering to himself.

Just as Ling Yun was relieved, suddenly, a large, dark mass of people surged out from the school, their umbrellas forming a moving mushroom cloud.

No way!

Alarm bells rang in Ling Yun's mind, and with a bad feeling, he quickly got up and continued preparing the goods.

At this time.

Then, one of the students in the shop exclaimed, "So the school had its water supply cut off this afternoon, and it just went completely down. They'll probably have to work on it until tonight."

"Not only that, I heard that the food delivery system is also overwhelmed with orders, and many store pages are inaccessible."

"Thank goodness we made it out!"

"Send a message to Ah Yong, this steak is so delicious, it's not even cold anymore."

The brief conversation left Ling Yun sweating profusely.

If it's dry, then it's the chef profession.

He really wanted to say, "No need to call anyone!"

Just then, a notification popped up; Uncle Chen had sent a message in the night market group chat:

The water supply to the Ocean University cafeteria is cut off tonight. We are overwhelmed with takeout orders and cannot serve any food. Please come quickly and remember to bring your own water!

Okay, so there's this talk of night markets being a lifesaver.

Upon seeing Uncle Chen's message, Ling Yun knew that tonight would definitely be crazy. He stopped looking at his phone, gritted his teeth, and focused on preparing the goods.

quickly!

The food truck's brightly lit sign attracted a large, dark-skinned crowd of customers.

Ling Yun broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it.

There are at least 300 people in line behind this, and the number is increasing by more than a dozen per second!

The problem is that he's all alone right now and simply can't be in two places at once.

"Please line up and pay when I tell you to!"

Ling Yun shouted something to the outside.

He can only take care of the customers next to the food truck now.

Just as he was busy and overwhelmed, several clear sounds rang out in succession.

"Come on, please line up to pay and let me register!"

That was Zhang Moli's voice. She had somehow gotten up and was standing under the awning, holding an account book in her hand.

"Come on, everyone, please line up along the signs on the street. It won't rain here."

Li He emerged from the other side and began maintaining order, her ponytail blowing to one side in the wind, but she didn't care.

Tiger and He Yu also came.

Without a word, the two of them jogged to the roadside, together carried the night market tent over, moved two stone blocks to weigh down the corners, and panting heavily as they carried the tables and chairs inside.

Although it might be a bit cold to eat here, at least there's something to eat.

Seeing them arrive, Ling Yun breathed a long sigh of relief.

He lowered his head and began to focus on what was happening inside the dining car.

In order to prepare the marinade at the same time, he reduced the number of steaks to six at a time.

This way, he can serve meals while also taking care of some food preparation work.

Meal preparation cannot wait.

It cannot be used without marinating for half an hour.

Although the food service was a bit slow, considering that Lingyun's food service was already ridiculously fast, the people in line didn't have to wait too long.

After Li He had initially maintained order, she quickly ran to a distance to set up a stand, attached her phone, and aimed the camera at the Chef's Food Truck in the rain and the hundreds of waiting customers.

The live stream started.

The barrage of comments immediately poured in like a waterfall:

"Starting the broadcast so early today?"

"Wow, is it raining so hard in Haishi today?"

"Wow, everyone look! There's a huge line!"

"Even with the torrential rain, it's lined up like this; it must taste delicious!"

"I can't take it anymore, I'm booking a flight and heading there tonight!"

Seeing these comments, Li He grinned in the rain.

She knew it very well.

The hype tonight might be even more intense than yesterday!

It should trend on social media at least once or twice more.

Several headlines were already swirling in her mind:

Footage from a torrential downpour! The night market was flooded, but a hundred-meter-long queue formed at the steak stall, creating a spectacular scene.

Despite the torrential rain, this street-side steak stall at the night market is going crazy! Customers are waiting with umbrellas and stomping their feet, and the owner says: "We simply can't keep up with the demand!"

On a stormy night, this was the only food stall that was packed!

Street-side steak grills are sizzling with smoke, and the queues are so long they make you question your existence.

Outrageous, but true! Eating steak outdoors in the pouring rain, with long lines at the night market, one diner said: "Don't underestimate the bond between me and the owner!"

Despite the orange rainstorm warning in effect, steakhouses on the street were packed with customers, a true miracle!
