If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

Chen Yu was also shocked. How could it be possible to set up a stall on the top of Mount Tai?

They worked themselves to the bone, finally made it to the top, and were so exhausted they wanted to just lie down on the ground. Who had the energy to do business on the top of Mount Tai?

Even if there are, they are official stores, where people sit in air-conditioned comforts and sell goods in a laid-back manner, like the newly opened Mixue Ice Cream.

Unlike this boss, who simply set up his cooking pot on the open ground, what's he after? Is it for the better air quality? Or is it because there's less competition on the top of Mount Tai?

"Let's go check it out." Tang Guo's professional instincts kicked in immediately. "Mobile stalls on the top of Mount Tai—that's a surefire way to attract customers!"

"Maybe I, Tang Guo, am going to become famous today!" She held up her phone and quickened her pace, but after a few steps, Tang Guo slowed down.

For some reason, she felt that the stall owner in the crowd looked familiar; well, he really did look familiar...

Wearing a black protective suit, a baseball cap, and a black face mask, this outfit...

Why does he look so much like that ruthless gangster from earlier? This doesn't seem right.

"Zhou Ye," Tang Guo turned to look at Zhou Ye beside her, "doesn't that boss look a bit like someone we know?"

"Someone we know?" Zhou Ye squinted for several seconds. "Who?"

"That ruthless gang leader!" Tang Guo exclaimed in shock. "Can't you see such obvious signs?"

"Oh, it was too dark just now, I didn't see clearly." Zhou Ye scratched his head. "But now that you mention it, I realize, isn't that him!"

"Impossible, right? Wasn't that guy just here to film a video?" Chen Yu suddenly said. "He just said it was only the beginning, how could it have been set up all of a sudden?"

Chen Yu was suddenly taken aback by what he said, and the three of them stopped in their tracks at the same time.

"Just beginning?"

"Could it be that when my brother said 'just beginning,' he wasn't just starting to film videos, but actually just starting to set up his stall?"

"Holy crap!" Chen Yu gasped, "Damn it, could it really be that ruthless gangster boss?"

The three of them quickly took two steps forward, and as they got closer, their expressions became increasingly shocked.

That piece of windproof cloth... isn't that the same bundle that was tied to the backpack earlier?

And there were those folded canvas bags next to them; they had just carried them by hand—they were incredibly heavy.

Even the huge hiking backpack next to the table was exactly the same as the one they had seen before!

Most importantly, the stall owner's physique and that set of ruthless bandit gear that you can't forget after just one look are clearly the same as the boss from earlier!

"Brother Bandit?" Zhou Ye called out tentatively.

"Huh?" Su Yun had just flipped a beef pastry over when he heard the sound. He looked up and asked, "Are you done filming?"

"Holy crap!" Zhou Ye and the other two were completely stunned. "It really is you!"

"No, it's not you, brother." Chen Yu rushed to the stall. "Why are you setting up a stall here?"

"Where else can I set up a stall if not here?" Su Yun asked, looking completely bewildered.

"So you brought all this stuff up here just to set up a stall?" Tang Guo asked in surprise.

"What are you saying?" Su Yun pointed at the surrounding equipment with a shovel. "Or should I just carry a pot up here to enjoy the view?"

Tang Guo: "..."

The three of them stood there, stunned. They looked at Su Yun, then at the stall that had been completely set up in front of them, and were completely dumbfounded.

When they left, this place was just a pile of messy equipment, right?

How come, in just the time it takes to watch the sunrise, there are tables, stoves, and even a line of guests?

Is this efficiency really that high?

"Wait a minute." Tang Guo suddenly realized an even more serious problem. "Brother, weren't you here to film a short video? Why aren't you filming anymore?"

"Who told you I was here to film a short video?"

"Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"You didn't ask either," Su Yun said matter-of-factly.

Tang Guo and the others twitched their lips, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it really was true.

They were guessing from beginning to end, but their older brother just said that this equipment was their livelihood, and they themselves didn't believe it.

Good heavens, so the clown is actually them, right?

Tell me, is this even a tool for making a living?

The viewers in the live stream were already bursting with laughter.

[Haha, I knew it would be useful for the older brother to carry the blame!]

Who would have thought that someone would actually set up a stall on the top of Mount Tai?

You were just about to help someone pack up their equipment, but now the customers are already eating.

[The ruthless gangster wasn't there to rob anyone; he was there to steal business from the tourist attraction!]

[This contrast is too much! It's hilarious!]

I wonder if this guy has the necessary permits? Won't he get kicked out by the景区 staff?

[The notorious gang leader: Paperwork? If I had paperwork, would I need to wear a mask?]

"Trying to get rid of me? Besides knowing a little about cooking, I also have some martial arts skills!"

【...】

Tang Guo's face flushed as she watched the barrage of comments.

They were just confidently analyzing in the live stream, saying that the big brother was definitely there to film a video.

As a result, they turned around and immediately opened for business, and business seemed to be booming.

Seeing the last few comments, Tang Guo's eyes widened in surprise, then she asked, "Brother, won't you get into trouble for setting up a stall on the top of Mount Tai without saying a word?"

"Troublesome? For example?" Su Yun asked.

"For example, the urban management officers," Zhou Ye tentatively suggested.

"Can urban management officers climb such a high mountain to arrest me?" Su Yun didn't believe it.

The group exchanged glances and nodded. You know what, that makes sense! By the time the city management officers arrive, which would take hours, the thug will have already made his escape!

But... bro! Is this your excuse for setting up a stall without a license?! That's incredibly unethical!

"Alright, stop staring at me like that. My stall has all the necessary permits and licenses; it's already been registered." Su Yun took out the certificate that the system had already issued and showed it to the group.

The group was immediately astonished. "Wow, I understand the logic, but can you explain how you got a certificate for setting up a stall on the top of Mount Tai? Is the method really that sophisticated?"

That's awesome!

"Alright, stop standing there!" Su Yun put a pot of pastries into a thermal tray. "Didn't you say you were coming back to help? Eat two for me and give me your feedback."

Several people were immediately stumped.

How did we end up eating this all of a sudden? We were just climbing a mountain, how did we end up eating here?

next second.

"Okay," the three answered loudly.

They had just finished climbing the mountain and were already starving.

I just followed the fragrance all the way here.

Standing next to the pot now, the aroma of the beef shortbread is practically wafting into your nose, who could resist eating a couple?

Not eating it would be stupid.

"Give me a beef one first, please." Zhou Ye was the first to pull out his phone.

"I'll have beef too, and a bowl of millet pudding as well," Chen Yu immediately followed.

Tang Guo stared at the menu for a long time, hesitating, "Then I'll take one with wild mushrooms, so I can give it a review to the family members in the live stream."

The three of them scanned the code to pay, and soon the steaming hot pastries were handed to them.

Zhou Ye received a beef-filled pastry. The freshly baked pastry was heavy and felt particularly thick.

He pinched the edge with two fingers and could clearly feel the soup inside gently sloshing around.

"This pancake is really well made," Zhou Ye couldn't help but praise.

The aroma of shortbread, beef, pepper, and onions wafted out.

Zhou Ye swallowed hard. He had originally wanted to wait for Tang Guo to take a close-up shot, but his stomach had already made the decision for him.

"Gurgle." A loud sound immediately rang out.

Chen Yu and the others laughed out loud, "Your stomach is urging you on, hurry up and eat."

"Then I won't be polite." Zhou Ye held the pastry in both hands, aimed at the crispiest edge, and took a big bite.

"Crunch!" The golden-brown flaky layers shattered between my teeth, each layer carrying the broth straight to my taste buds.

The next second, the scalding hot and rich beef broth instantly flooded his mouth.

Zhou Ye abruptly stopped chewing, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Wow!"
