Chapter 360 - 152: Cthulhu Soup Dumplings

Chapter 360: Chapter 152: Cthulhu Soup Dumplings

He was a famous chef from the Capital City, after all, where a single dish could be worth a fortune. He was very restrained in both his eating and his commentary.

In truth, for Sui Po, his real objective wasn’t these home-style dishes at all.

For a boss who could casually place orders worth tens of thousands, it would be a real shame to only sample his home-style dishes.

When Sui Po looked again, the line in front of the food cart had only grown, with the last person in line almost reaching the end of the street!

’No wonder Boss Su’s rule is that each person can only order one dish at a time. If people could order whatever they wanted, the ones at the back of the line would never get to eat.’

After watching from the side for a long while, Teacher Sui also took his team and headed back.

The important thing now was to hurry up and edit today’s video.

Over there, Old Tang and his crew had already ordered another dish and were eating. Their assistant was obviously already hunched over the table, starting to edit the video!

The food vlogging industry these days was also incredibly cutthroat.

As for the fool who had been blacklisted, he stood sullenly by the side of the street. "Why did you blacklist me?! I said I’d eat whatever you serve! I wasn’t trying to cause trouble!"

Sui Po shook his head and quickly left the Pedestrian Street with his team.

Time passed, second by second. Just as Su Chen had lost count of how many different dishes he had made...

Zhang the Second’s exclamation shattered the orderly calm of the food cart.

"Oh no! The braised pork is sold out!"

"What?" Su Chen leaned over the container to take a look. "Five hundred jin of pork, gone just like that?"

Fang Chang had sharp ears. "What? The braised pork is sold out? No... Boss Su, I was still waiting to eat!"

Zhan Yang was also stunned. "For real? You didn’t save any for us?"

With that, he grabbed Fang Chang. "You promised! You said if I came to be a server for half the day, I could eat my fill!"

Fang Chang was dumbfounded too.

The two of them looked at Su Chen in unison.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let you guys go hungry." Su Chen washed his hands and gestured for He Shuting to start dispersing the line. "We can eat when we get back. No one has eaten yet."

They had actually been open for a shorter time today than usual.

Because the food came out quickly, and the customers had all come to wait in advance, they had sold out of almost all their ingredients in just under four hours.

So Su Chen simply cooked up the rest of the ingredients and sold them off as well.

He glanced over and saw that Zhang Jiayi had been there the whole time and hadn’t left. "Can I get a ride? I’ll pay!"

Holding her phone, Zhang Jiayi chuckled. "Alright fam, Boss Su’s mission for today is complete! I’m gonna go give him a ride."

Turning off her stream, Zhang Jiayi smiled. "No need to pay. But I was wondering if I could maybe bum a meal at your company?"

"No problem!"

Su Chen hopped into Zhang Jiayi’s G-Wagon, making a cool getaway amidst the grumbling curses of the long line of people.

"Boss Su, a lot of streamers came today, and the rest were mostly just onlookers. You, sir, are about to blow up!"

Su Chen took a few deep breaths, finally feeling a little less tired.

"Getting famous isn’t necessarily a good thing." Watching the scenery fly past the window, Su Chen felt like he was in a dream. "Everyone didn’t get a chance to eat lunch, and they didn’t have time for dinner either. What should we eat when we get back..."

He seemed to be muttering to himself.

He didn’t need to ask Liu Shengnan; just by checking the task progress in his head, Su Chen knew that tonight’s sales were the highest since he started the stall.

Over thirty thousand!

This was all thanks to that sweet braised pork. Eighty-eight yuan for five pieces. At first, some people were indeed put off by the price.

But what Su Chen hadn’t expected was...

Later, this sweet braised pork became even more popular. Even many Jingzhou locals were scrambling to order it.

That hawthorn was a huge success!

"Seems like there are a lot of people. With a big group, you could have hot pot! It’s simple, easy, and delicious!"

Hot pot...

Su Chen remembered what happened last time they had hot pot. He couldn’t use the same trick twice, or people would easily see through it.

’I’m not a stingy boss!’

Su Chen shook his head. "Hot pot won’t work."

The situation now was: there were a lot of people, and they had all missed two meals. They must be starving.

So whatever they ate, it couldn’t be stir-fried dishes. Cooking stir-fry for so many people would kill the chef.

The answer was obvious: Qiangguo noodles!

S Level Qiangguo noodles—the kind that makes you eat without a single peep!

As for why not SS Level... the reason was also simple. SS Level required Su Chen to knead the dough by hand. After working the stall all day, Su Chen had absolutely no desire to do such heavy manual labor.

He could only leave it to the machine.

When all the employees returned to the company, everyone saw Su Chen was making Qiangguo noodles, and no one had any objections.

Zhan Yang and Fang Chang were even a little excited.

The Qiangguo noodles from Delicious were a masterpiece. Every time they ate them, they felt like they could eat much more than usual.

This time, Zhang Jiayi finally got to witness Su Chen’s true skill.

She actually ate three large bowls of noodles before leaving the company, completely satisfied. When she got in her car, Zhang Jiayi even had to recline her seat back a bit.

Hmm... her stomach felt a little squished.

’Strange, isn’t today a training day? I didn’t see Coach Shen come by...’

Just now, during the stream, Zhang Jiayi had kept looking towards the ends of the street from time to time.

Usually, Shen Ning would run over with her girls at a set time, but today was an exception.

Zhang Jiayi couldn’t be bothered to ask her friends about it. Her stomach felt uncomfortably full. She quickly stepped on the gas and sped back to her villa complex, not even bothering to shower before collapsing onto her bed.
