I've been reborn, I'm definitely going to become an internet celebrity!

Chapter 20: [A Keen Eye for Work]

"Boss, I've been missing your scallion pancakes since you haven't been here lately."

"What kind of business are they planning to start? This food truck looks pretty high-end."

"Wow, why is there smoke coming out of the exhaust fan? Are they having a barbecue..."

A week later, Liu Zhuohao, who had already obtained his driver's license, rode his food cart with its engine making a loud "putt-putt-putt" sound to the bookstore entrance. He didn't see the bookstore owner's nephew, but there was a decent-looking hand-pulled pancake stall set up next to him.

He pretended not to see it and set up his stall.

When the time came, customers arrived as usual.

Most of them were students, because I had notified them in advance on Bilibili and in my fan groups before the opening.

With the help of these students, the customer traffic increased, and some office workers passing by would stop and buy a pancake.

However, they were more interested in their new food truck.

"Everyone can look forward to it. We're going to have a night market. As for what we'll be having," Liu Zhuohao casually explained, "it's something common, but not something people usually eat."

These words, once spoken, certainly piqued everyone's interest.

"The security measures are so good!"

"No matter what you make, the taste has to be good!"

"When we set up a night market, will we still be wearing a camera to record it...?"

The surrounding customers kept asking questions.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are listed in no particular order, with food being the first.

In this small town, people are bound by social connections, but they also benefit from them. A small shop, if it does a good job, can make a living for years or even decades.

Just like that rice noodle roll stall on the street, how many students and parents sit inside with their children?

It's not because it's particularly delicious, but mainly because that's where people's parents used to eat.

After graduating, getting married and having children, I started bringing my kids to eat here. It's a family business passed down from generation to generation. If we can keep doing this, it will become a 'century-old restaurant'!

Liu Zhuohao handled the situation calmly. Although it was summer vacation, the number of customers today was comparable to that of a normal day, probably because the business had been closed for seven days.

His hands were constantly moving, and he was talking to other people from time to time.

"The taste will definitely be great; we've all witnessed how well Boss Liu does things!"

Suddenly, someone next to them spoke up, their voice loud and clear.

Liu Zhuohao looked up and saw a short-haired young man.

There were three other people standing next to him.

These four people have been watching the stall since it opened, but they haven't bought a single pancake; they've just been watching from the sidelines.

They are not customers.

The young man stepped forward and, in full view of everyone, casually picked up the money bag on the table. He then turned to the customer at the front of the line and smiled, saying, "Hello, a scallion pancake with an egg and chicken strips, seven yuan."

Good grief, they've snatched the "cashier" spot!

Liu Zhuohao continued flipping the pancake with his hands, but his gaze lingered on this person for a moment.

"Senior, is this the employee you hired?"

Among the people nearby, some also asked.

Clearly, these customers had no idea what Liu Zhuohao planned to sell at the night market.

But most of the people present were aware that he was hiring.

After all, they are all fans, either in the group or have accounts that follow Bilibili.

"Not yet. Boss Liu is only hiring one, and we have four here now, so there's still competition!"

Then another person stepped forward, annoyed, and shouted at the cashier, "You're so shrewd! If I'm slow on one step, I'll be slow on everything else!"

After saying that, he looked at a customer standing in front of the scallion pancake stall and greeted him warmly but somewhat awkwardly:

"Um, yes, yes, I've been watching you for a while now. You're the next customer."

"Although I'm not from this school, I did graduate from a vocational high school, so I'm definitely older than you all, which is why I'll call you junior."

"What do you mean, should I order a scallion pancake?"

The one called "junior" replied:

"Three scallion pancakes, that's the standard order."

The second person had just finished listening when he tried to relay the message.

But then a third person snatched the job from him. This person was even more direct; he stood right next to him, like a human megaphone, clearly repeating the order:

"Boss Liu, three scallion pancakes, standard."

Then, as if remembering something, he quickly looked up and asked, "What kind of sauce?"

The second person relayed the message to the female student, "Junior, what kind of sauce would you like to put on?"

The junior student hesitated for a moment, then said, "Um... salad dressing is fine."

The people here handed the salad dressing to Liu Zhuohao, and the first person checked the bill again, "Three scallion pancakes, standard, salad dressing, that'll be twenty, change..."

As for the fourth person, he looked left and right, but all the "positions" were occupied, so he could only stand there staring blankly, his face saying, "What am I supposed to do?"

A bespectacled boy chuckled and held up his phone: "Hey, everyone's here! A group of five circling around a pancake stall—are they filming a movie?"

His companion next to him clicked his tongue, looking like he'd been taught a lesson: "See that? That's what you call a real man's eye for business! A textbook example of how to snatch a job. Oh no, after I graduate, I'll probably be stuck with that dazed guy next to me."

"I'm learning this as I go! I'll do the same thing when I do my internship after graduation!"

"Hey, this young man is quick-witted! The one asking about the sauce is thoughtful, not bad. The one in the middle has a loud voice, but he's a bit slow... And the one on the side, oh boy, you need to move!"

"Boss! If you ask me, we should just keep them all. It'll be more fun with more people!"

Including Liu Zhuohao, the owner, the five of them were wandering around a breakfast stall, doing the accounting, taking orders, and calling out the dishes.

The customers were amused and started making a fuss.

More and more people gathered around, including students on holiday, working people, and aunties carrying shopping baskets.

Even the bookstore owner and people from other stalls nearby were drawn in by the commotion and came over to see what was going on.

Someone else shouted at Liu Zhuohao, "Boss, did you hear that? The crowd is really vocal!"

"Where would I get the money to hire four people!"

Even with four helpers, Liu Zhuohao still made time to reply, "But I'll do my best. If they really prove capable, I'll leave their contact information first, and when things get bigger and stronger in the future, I'll bring them back!"

……

"so……"

When the excitement subsided and Liu Zhuohao was packing up his stall, the other three were helping him when they heard the fourth person speak up, his tone somewhat dejected.

He stopped what he was doing, straightened up, and looked at the somewhat thin boy in front of him who was wearing glasses.

It was just an interview, and it wasn't a particularly prestigious job.

But perhaps it was the contrast with the other three people that triggered his emotions.

He was undoubtedly the most clueless one there, especially in front of so many people.

"That seems to be the case at present."

Liu Zhuohao replied, "But maybe next time. I'd like to exchange contact information with you. You have a lot of insight into the internet, you could even say it's very accurate, and your thoughts are similar to mine."

That's right, this seemingly dull-looking boy is the one who accurately predicted that after the widespread adoption of 4G networks and smartphones, people's daily entertainment would lean more towards this small mobile phone.

Unfortunately, he was eliminated.

It has been eliminated.
