Chapter 366: Chapter 153: Boss Su, Wanted by the Entire City

"This..." Short Legs was also puzzled.

Why did they have to compete with someone?

"Alright, someone just delivered the crabs. Start practicing now. I’ll watch you."

Short Legs seemed to have found a loophole. "Boss, if we don’t dismantle the crabs properly, won’t they go to waste?"

The subtext was: Wasting is shameful, but it doesn’t count as waste if I eat it.

Su Chen shook his head. "They won’t go to waste. Just focus on dismantling them. Oh, right... I’ll be here to guide you. If you want to eat any, feel free."

"For realsies?" He Shuting was delighted.

’Could there really be such a good deal?’

"For real. For every one you eat, I’ll dock your pay. I’ll charge you the cost price."

It was as if all the air had been let out of them.

The two of them suddenly deflated like punctured balls.

"But, if you can get your time down to under three minutes, I’ll give you a free bun."

"A bun?" Short Legs asked curiously. "One of your handmade big meat buns?"

’If it’s a bun handmade by Boss Su, then this deal isn’t so bad after all.’

’After all, those buns are unbelievably delicious!’

Su Chen shook his head again. "Not a big meat bun. It’s a bun that’s even more delicious than the big meat buns. So... what do you say? Do you want the job or not?"

The two girls exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We do!"

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, then got up and went to the kitchen to steam ten crabs.

’Now I have people to dismantle the crabs.’

With that settled, there would only be two dishes at the food stall this afternoon.

One was braised pork, available in sweet or savory versions, and the other was the Cthulhu crab roe soup dumplings. Moreover, to avoid the streamers who were flocking from all over to join the spectacle, Su Chen had Liu Shengnan scout out a new location for the stall.

’Sometimes, a big crowd isn’t a good thing. It looks lively at first glance, but it’s actually so chaotic that you can’t sell many orders.’

Furthermore, to allow Delicious to maintain its "Custom-Made" image, Su Chen had no choice but to make this temporary decision.

As for when they could resume normal operations, that would depend on how efficiently Ling Shuyu handled things on her end.

To Su Chen’s pleasant surprise, He Shuting and Zhang Li were actually quite fast learners.

After each of them had ruined about three or four crabs, they were both able to follow the video tutorial and dismantle a crab completely, without wasting even a tiny bit of the ingredients.

Their speed was still a bit slow and didn’t meet Su Chen’s standard, but this was something where practice makes perfect. As long as they dismantled enough crabs, their speed would naturally increase.

At noon, Su Chen took the initiative to cook for all the employees, making the long-awaited braised potatoes and eggplant, plus a cold dish of eggplant with garlic sauce. Now that his culinary skills had improved, even though the evaluation level for these two dishes hadn’t risen, they were clearly more delicious than when he first made them.

After receiving unanimous praise from everyone, they all worked even harder in the afternoon.

The same went for Aunt Fang.

The crab roe buns had to be made fresh to order, and the cost was very high, so Su Chen only gave Aunt Fang one portion of ingredients to try. As expected, she didn’t disappoint him!

After just one simple explanation, Aunt Fang was able to wrap the bun beautifully, looking nothing like the work of a novice.

To be more precise, for someone like Aunt Fang, who had spent decades in her own kitchen, her cooking skills might only be average, but her techniques for preparing many kinds of food were definitely commendable.

And so, the production of the soup dumplings involved basically all of Delicious’s employees, right up until four o’clock in the afternoon.

Sister Shengnan was back!

"Boss, just as you requested, I found a place that’s perfect for the food stall!"

As she said this, the two of them were hiding in a corner of the second-floor cafeteria. They had to ensure the stall’s location wasn’t leaked in the slightest. Otherwise, the streamers looking to leech off their popularity would use any means necessary to get there!

"Excellent. Don’t tell me where it is now. You’ll be in charge of giving directions later. Just lead everyone there directly!"

Sister Shengnan nodded confidently. "Not only is the scenery at this location great, but we also don’t have to pay any stall fees. The foot traffic nearby is decent—not too much, not too little—exactly what you wanted!"

Su Chen gave her a satisfied thumbs-up.

’Sister Shengnan really is reliable, especially when it comes to saving money. A boss doesn’t need to worry too much with her around.’

Su Chen then prepared to call everyone to pack up and get ready to go!

The Delicious food truck was parked in the underground garage on level B1. The huge parking garage usually only held Bai Xiaobo’s and Ling Shuyu’s cars.

As he watched everyone load their things onto the food truck, Su Chen saw an unexpected guest appear at the entrance to the garage!

"Zhang Jiayi?"

’Why is she here again?’

A black G-Wagen screeched to a stylish halt in front of Su Chen. "How about it, Boss Su? I’ll be your driver again today and act as your escort, too?"

"What are you even trying to get out of this?" Su Chen looked at the girl, unable to figure her out.

If it was for streaming, the people who watched Zhang Jiayi’s streams were basically all fans from the Meiweilai Company’s account, so they wouldn’t generate any revenue for her.

If it was to freeload food and drinks, the girl wasn’t short on money. She could just order whenever she wanted to eat.

Of course, even though Su Chen was a company boss now, he really couldn’t understand the mindset of a rich kid like Zhang Jiayi.

Which was: I do whatever I want.

"I’m just doing it for fun!" Zhang Jiayi said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Well, that was certainly hard to argue with. Ling Shuyu was still busy handling other matters, so after a moment of thought, Su Chen calmly accepted Zhang Jiayi’s kind offer.
