Chapter 15 This is not just your problem
Facing the camera.
Ling Yun was still a little reserved, and his fingers awkwardly touched the tip of his nose:
"What should I say?"
"Whatever, just do what you're supposed to do..."
Li He patted her chest and explained with a smile, "Uncovering your selling points and persona is my job."
understood.
Ling Yun nodded, silently encouraging herself to ignore the camera and focus on the task at hand.
"Hey bro, you're here to check out this place!"
A friendly greeting came from above.
A woman in her forties carried a bowl of earthenware soup and a bowl of mixed noodles, gently placing them in front of Li He. She rubbed her hands on her apron, her face beaming with a warm smile.
"These are all fresh chilies and powders that we made ourselves; they're really delicious."
Beside her,
The man, also in his forties, silently placed down two bowls of soy milk and two square fried foods with three gaps in the middle.
The aunt raised her hand and pointed to the brand-new signboard of Aunt Wang's Breakfast Shop above her head, her tone carrying a hint of cautious anticipation:
"These are candies. They're only served for breakfast where we're from. They're sweet and delicious. These are all our treats. We just arrived, so please help us spread the word."
This was the first time Ling Yun had heard of it.
Does having a camera hanging around your neck completely change your life experience?
"No, no!"
Li He quickly stood up, reaching out to block them, her face full of embarrassment: "We're not some kind of food review bloggers, we don't even have many followers!"
"It's okay, it's okay, just eat."
Aunt Wang smiled, waved her hand, and turned to leave with her taciturn husband.
At this time.
If we were to push it back, it would seem like we were contradicting ourselves.
I can't refuse other people's kindness.
Li He looked at Ling Yun with a blank expression, her voice tinged with helplessness:
"What should we do?"
Ling Yun didn't rush to answer.
He first lowered his head and ate a few bites of noodles.
The rice noodles are smooth and chewy, and the savory aroma of chili explodes on the tip of the tongue.
I took another sip of soup.
The warm soup slid down my throat, and the warmth spread all the way to my stomach.
Finally, he picked up a piece of candy and put it in his mouth. With a crunch, the crispy outer shell cracked open.
Hmm, it's actually sweet.
The combination of sweetness and crispiness is actually quite something.
Ling Yun nodded silently in agreement.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he has a god-level dish in his hand.
He knows a bit about steak, but he doesn't really have much experience with other dishes. However, from a consumer's perspective, this breakfast is definitely acceptable.
The mixed rice noodles have a rich and layered flavor, with the salty and savory taste of chili sauce intertwining with the delicate aroma of rice noodles, making for a very good seasoning.
The egg and meatloaf soup was also very delicious.
The meat patty is thick and firm, and you can feel the solid meaty texture when you bite into it. It warms you up after drinking it, and it's very filling, giving you a real sense of satisfaction after eating meat.
The key difference is that one costs three and a half dollars, and the other costs four dollars.
At a total price of seven and a half yuan, the taste is definitely worth the money.
Ling Yun lowered his voice and said to Li He:
"It's delicious. Please recommend it more often in the future. It's hard to explain now, but you can calculate the price in your head, and we'll scan the code later."
Li He nodded repeatedly, clearly relieved.
She composed herself, then suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect someone so young to have such composure."
Ling Yun suddenly seemed a little dazed, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.
He didn't feel happy about the praise.
It's just that once a child has cried and realized it's useless, they won't cry anymore.
Maturity inevitably involves enduring hardship.
Mature early simply means suffering early.
He took a deep breath, raised his voice slightly, as if speaking to Li He, but also as if speaking to himself:
"Forget about that, let's leave the past behind, the good days are just beginning!"
Li He assumed he was talking about losing money in his shop, and was slightly moved, nodding emphatically.
After finishing their breakfast, the two looked at each other and got up at the same time.
After walking five meters away, Ling Yun quickly entered the password on his phone screen.
The sound of payment notification came from the store over there.
When Aunt Wang chased after them, she only saw the two figures fleeing like the wind, disappearing around the street corner.
After this little incident,
Their time together became much more natural.
When Ling Yun faced the camera and began to introduce his schedule for the day, Li He was so shocked to hear that they already had more than 20,000 orders that her mouth dropped open, and she couldn't close it for a long time:
"My God, 26666 for ten servings! That's equivalent to my previous monthly sales at my bubble tea shop!?"
She forgot all about filming and immediately pressed for answers, her eyes filled with shock:
"Really? Don't just make things up to create an effect!"
"How could I possibly know what the effect would be?" Ling Yun shook his head with a smile, his tone confident: "Aren't you filming today? You'll find out tonight."
Upon hearing about the income of over 20,000 yuan, Li He immediately perked up, her eyes practically sparkling with light.
"This is a great start! We need to prepare well."
"Yes, everything is ready..."
The two walked out of the alley.
Lingyun's remaining words, along with her wonderful expectations for today, were all stuck in her throat.
Li He slowed down by half a step and suddenly stopped.
Both of them stared intently at the tiger-head food cart and at Zhang Moli, who was standing beside it with tears in her eyes.
Ling Yun strode forward.
He noticed that a window was broken, with shards scattered all over the floor, and quickly opened the door to check.
Li He then pulled Zhang Moli aside, gently patted her back, and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong? What happened?"
After a thorough examination, Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
The other party didn't do anything special; they just mixed all his spices together, which wasn't a big problem.
I ordered some new spices last night, and I'll just mix some more later.
The person who came to cause trouble... needless to guess.
But why did he only destroy his own spices?
Did you think it was a special case, and that it couldn't be recovered after the sample was lost?
Ling Yun had a guess in his mind, turned around and went outside the car, asking Zhang Moli, who was still choking with sobs:
"Did someone ask you about me yesterday, and you told them that you made this sauce?"
The moisture in Zhang Moli's eyes was even more intense.
She wiped away her tears forcefully, her nose red, and murmured an apology, her voice trembling with sobs:
"She must have overheard me and asked me some details, which I didn't pay much attention to. But the more I thought about it after I got back, the more something seemed off. So I came over this morning and sure enough, I found... your spices had been ruined."
She became more and more upset as she spoke, and large tears streamed down her face.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have said so much to him."
"It's alright, it's alright. I've already figured out the seasonings, I'll just mix them later."
Ling Yun gently reassured him, his tone mild: "I know who it is, just be more careful in the future."
Li He tilted her head and looked at him curiously, "You know who it is?"
"Yeah, he's my old boss. I broke up with them, and they can't stand to see me doing well."
Ling Yun didn't blame Zhang Moli.
Wen Chong and Zhou Meimei had come here specifically to keep an eye on him.
Zhang Moli looked up, her eyes red and her face full of worry: "Then, what should we do?"
"That's easy!"
Li He took out her phone, waved it, and smirked, "For things at the night market, of course, ask Uncle Chen!"
As soon as the phone is connected.
Just moments ago, Li He had been carrying a hint of smugness, but her voice instantly turned into a sob, as if she had truly suffered a tremendous injustice:
"Uncle Chen, come quick! My food cart has been smashed! You have to help..."
Ling Yun was still astonished by Li He's rapid change of expression when he heard the sound of a phone call coming from the other end:
"Li Ye, Chef Ling's food cart was vandalized. Yes, I just got here. Should we handle this? Okay, I understand!"
I turned my head and looked.
The person making the call was an employee at Li Yi's shop.
He was sitting in a refrigerated delivery truck, making a phone call.
Lingyun used to see him often.
However, he was aloof and would often sit at the door sharpening a cleaver used for slaughtering pigs when he had nothing to do. Coupled with the tigers that covered his back, Ling Yun was somewhat intimidated by him.
When the two met, they would nod and greet each other. She would occasionally offer him a cigarette, but they never had a detailed conversation.
Li called him Ah Hu.
Worried that it would affect his ability to handle things in front of Li Yi, Ling Yun stepped forward and greeted him:
"Brother Tiger, we don't need to bother Boss Li, it's just a piece of glass, I can handle it!"
Ah Hu hung up the phone, put it away, and walked towards Ling Yun. His eyes were as sharp as a knife he usually sharpened, a ferocity that Ling Yun had never seen before.
"You don't understand!"
He stepped forward and said earnestly:
"Tonight's meal absolutely cannot go wrong. This isn't just your problem; it's the problem of the entire Jiangzhou. Anyone who dares to ruin this dinner will not be tolerated in Jiangzhou."
Ling Yun stood there, stunned, his mind going blank.
Isn't this going a bit too far?
there.
Li He also received an affirmative answer from Uncle Chen over the phone:
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for anything that happens in Chenjia Village!"
Far away.
Another voice came: "Xiao Ling, what's wrong with you here?"
