Chapter 356: Chapter 151: A Review from a Food Vlogger

"What’s going on here?"

Su Chen glanced over. He’d seen this kind of scene before—men and women of all sorts crowding the street.

The simpler ones were just holding phones up to themselves, obviously live streaming.

The more extravagant ones had people holding up lights for them, and the most over-the-top even had someone shouldering a professional broadcast camera!

The appearance of so many streamers attracted a crowd of onlookers, causing an absurd traffic jam on a street that should have been empty at this hour!

"You don’t know yet? You’re a huge internet celebrity now!"

"A what?" Su Chen looked at Zhang Jiayi. "Me?"

"That’s right! Those last two Chinese pastries you made the other day were trending on TikTok for quite a while. And doesn’t your company’s account already have over a hundred thousand followers? Doesn’t that make you a huge internet celebrity?"

Su Chen sheepishly wiped his forehead.

’This is a problem,’ he thought. ’I really just want to cook in peace. I only got into the internet thing to promote the company, and now I’ve somehow become a big celebrity?’

Fortunately, it wasn’t like Su Chen had never seen a scene like this before.

It was just that back then, he was usually one of the people in the crowd. Now that the roles were reversed, Su Chen still knew how to handle it.

First, he called Liu Shengnan, who had already arrived at the Pedestrian Street ahead of time.

’Aside from Ling Shuyu, Sister Shengnan is the best one at the company for handling this kind of thing.’

"Shengnan, help maintain order at the scene. It’d be best if you could get everyone to line up."

"Don’t worry, Boss! I’ll head over as soon as I finish up here!"

Liu Shengnan and He Shuting finished arranging things in the food truck, then the two of them stepped out with a large megaphone.

"Line up, line up! Everyone who wants to order food, please form a line! And please take a look at the ordering rules for the Delicious food truck. Thank you for your cooperation!"

Next to the food truck was the poster Ling Shuyu had stayed up all night to make. Besides promoting the company, it also detailed the ordering rules.

"Only one of each dish per person, per order? Hey, why is that?"

"You must not have heard. That’s a new rule they just made a few days ago. If they didn’t, the people at the back of the line would never get to order."

"For real? Is this boss’s cooking really that good?" ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"All I know is, I’d already eaten dinner the other day, but when I jogged past here, I ended up eating another three big bowls of rice and two servings of Stir-Fried Yellow Beef."

Some passersby and streamers who weren’t in the know chatted amongst themselves. Liu Shengnan’s loud shouting was quite effective.

The previously chaotic street gradually began to grow more orderly.

The only congestion left was right at the very front.

"Don’t push, don’t push! The owner is trying to run a business here. Let’s eat first! We can take pictures after we eat, ’kay!"

"Xiaozhang, hurry up and talk to everyone. It’s no good if they keep blocking the way like this!"

At the very front of the food truck were Sui Po and Teacher Tang, who had arrived a long time ago. The two had been taking photos with fans ever since they got there.

No matter how many people came, they wouldn’t budge an inch from their spots!

Teacher Tang was first in line, and Teacher Sui was second.

As for the third person...

"Two hundred yuan, and I’ll eat whatever the owner serves! Pictures, you say? Come on, come on!"

Two Hundred had taken off his hat because of the heat, his shiny bald head posing for pictures with one fan after another.

Seeing the crowd of onlookers grow, Two Hundred also started helping with crowd control. With the assistance of these streamers, the once-chaotic mob finally, gradually, formed a long, dragon-like queue.

Watching from the car, Su Chen let out a sigh of relief. "If it’s like this, I won’t be able to run my stall here tomorrow."

"Why not?"

"I run this stall to make a living. With so many streamers gathered here... don’t be fooled by the large crowd. It’s actually just chaos. I won’t be able to sell many orders."

The more Zhang Jiayi listened, the more ridiculous it sounded.

’You run a stall to make a living?’

’You sold me a damn meal of pastries for forty thousand yuan! That’s practically a luxury item in the culinary world, and now you’re telling me you’re running a stall for living expenses?’

’Humble bragging. Boss Su must be humble bragging.’

Before Zhang Jiayi could recover from her vexation, Su Chen opened the car door and hopped out. His appearance immediately caused a stir in the long queue.

"He’s here, he’s here! The boss is here!"

"Hiss! He was in a BMW a few days ago, and today he’s in a G-Wagon. And he still claims he’s not some rich heir just experiencing life?"

"Holy crap, the driver is someone new—another beauty! Don’t tell me this boss is actually being kept by someone?"

Forget the passersby; even the top food streamers were pretty shocked to see Su Chen hop out of a G-Wagon.

It wasn’t that they didn’t have luxury cars of their own.

But this was the first time they had ever seen someone drive a luxury car to run a street stall. In any case, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Su Chen ducked into the food truck.

"You’re finally here! I’ll take one of everything on the menu!"

Teacher Tang, first in line, ordered without hesitation. He had originally budgeted over twenty thousand yuan to review the place.

Now, he only needed to spend a few hundred yuan to finish filming this video. For some reason, he even felt like he was getting a bargain.

"One moment, please!"

Never mind the Stir-Fried Yellow Beef and the Scrambled Eggs with Tomato; Su Chen was already an expert at these two dishes. He fired up two woks at once and had the food plated in disposable bowls in less than ten minutes.

"There are two flavors of braised pork belly. Did you say you want one of each?"
