Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Li Xiaoyan’s Anxiety

Zhong Lin led a group of chattering students to Old Wang’s stall, but before the beaming Old Wang could even speak, they had already walked right past it.

Heading toward Jiang’s Buns.

Old Wang: ???

Huh!??

All the spectating stall owners were left dumbfounded.

In front of the Jiang’s Buns stall.

Zhong Lin gave the gas canister a boisterous kick.

"Hey! You big jerk, you promised! For every person I bring, you sell me ten extra buns."

Yue Longfan said, "Don’t worry, I keep my word. As long as they join our shop’s WeChat group, they count as a new customer."

The female students who had followed Zhong Lin curiously eyed the steamer baskets.

"Linlin, does this little stall really have buns that are that good?"

Just a moment ago, Zhong Lin and Lily had used the power of their group chat to hype up Jiang Liu’s buns.

The hungry students didn’t think twice and just followed along.

Lily promised, "Don’t worry, they’re absolutely super delicious. If they weren’t good, we wouldn’t have brought you here!"

Only then did the group of female students relax.

"Everyone, form a line and you’ll get to buy." Zhong Lin organized her classmates into a line.

"We agreed on ten per person. I brought you eighteen of my classmates, so give me one hundred and eighty buns!"

"Alright, what fillings?" Yue Longfan opened the steamer, and a fragrant, white puff of wheat-scented steam immediately wafted over the faces of the female students still in line.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

"It really does!"

"I’m even hungrier now. Turns out Zhong Lin wasn’t lying to us. I wonder if they taste as good as they smell."

Very quickly.

Zhong Lin and Lily, carrying two large bags of buns, paid 1,740 yuan in one go.

With buns in hand, the two of them beamed with satisfaction.

’These buns will be enough for our families for two days!’

What made them happiest was that these buns were unbeatably delicious.

They were better than every other delicious thing they’d ever eaten, combined.

That was no exaggeration.

"We’re heading back now. You guys go ahead and buy."

Zhong Lin said, then grabbed Lily and excitedly hurried away with the buns.

’With buns this delicious, I have to get them back to Mom and Dad so they can try some.’

The female student at the front of the line said in a low voice:

"Sir, I’d like five shrimp and corn buns, three chive and egg buns, and two three-delicacy buns."

"You got it. Here’s your number. Eating here?"

"Mhm."

The student had an innocent and demure look in her eyes.

"Then go have a seat and wait. Xiao Xue will bring it over to you in a bit."

The second female student, holding a textbook:

"I’m eating here too. Five pork and scallion buns, and five chive and egg."

After speaking, she paid and sat down with the first student.

"Three shrimp and corn buns, seven three-delicacy buns."

"I want ten three-delicacy buns to go!"

The booming business quickly attracted a stream of hungry passersby.

"Is that a new stall up ahead? There’s a big line. Let’s go see if what they’re selling is any good."

"Yeah, let’s go check it out."

"I could smell something amazing from way over there, and it turns out it was this new stall. Sir, how much are your buns?"

Hearing the curious onlookers ask,

Yue Longfan replied calmly, "Hello, our shrimp buns are fifteen yuan each. The rest are seven yuan."

"That’s not cheap. It’s double the price of other stalls, and they aren’t even large buns."

Xue Binghan, carrying two plates of buns, chimed in with an explanation.

"Don’t you worry, they’re absolutely delicious. Our main shop has hundreds of thousands of fans and customers. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Alright, I’ll get in line and try one then."

The curious onlookers, hearing Xue Binghan’s guarantee, lined up, though still skeptical.

By now, the line had grown to over thirty people.

There were also seven or eight female students sitting and waiting for their buns.

"Here are the buns you ordered. And these are yours over here."

Two female students picked up their chopsticks and lifted the smallish buns.

They were plump and white, with a pleated pattern on top like a beautiful whirlpool.

They took a bite.

Scalding shrimp juice filled their mouths as a savory aroma overflowed.

The saltiness was just right, and several indescribable fragrances rapidly flooded their taste buds.

The shrimp was crisp and tender.

The two female students stared, stunned, at the half-eaten buns in their hands, finding it unbelievable.

"It really does taste amazing!"

"Amazing? This is the best bun I’ve ever eaten!"

"The person who made this bun must be a god!! Did you guys notice? The texture of this shrimp is so tender and smooth, it’s definitely not ordinary shrimp!"

"I noticed that right away."

Xue Binghan quickly served the buns to every table.

More and more of the female students couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

They were just too delicious!

They were a hundred times more delicious than the buns from Bian Bian Breakfast, the most famous breakfast shop in Kun City!

Bian Bian Breakfast had over a hundred branches in Kun City, and their buns had won them countless fans. It was precisely by relying on their delicious and inexpensive buns that they had captured the entire city’s breakfast market.

"Sir, will you still be here at noon?"

A customer who had just finished eating asked, wiping his mouth, still wanting more.

"We’ll be here at noon, and in the evening too."

"Alright, then I’ll come back at noon. You better be open, you hear?"

"Don’t worry."

A middle-aged customer ordered five buns to go, ate one while standing in front of the stall, then quickly bought five more.

He asked admiringly, "Brother, where is your shop located? How have I never heard of it?"

’Jiang’s Buns?’

’Buns this delicious should have made a name for themselves in Kun City long ago. Why have I never heard a peep about them?’

The middle-aged man was both overjoyed and puzzled.

Yue Longfan told the truth: "I’m from South City. My master makes these buns. I’m just here to provide some aid to the resource-scarce Kun City."

"Your master? So that’s how it is."

The middle-aged man felt a deep sense of regret.

’I’d buy buns this good no matter the cost, especially during these resource-scarce times.’

"How many days will you be selling here? Will you always be at this spot?"

The surrounding customers also looked over, their interest piqued.

Anyone who had eaten the buns was completely captivated.

The flavor was simply out of this world—a fantastical taste!

Yue Longfan replied with a chuckle, "My master told me to sell for ten days. After ten days, I’ll be leaving."

"Ten days? Does your master have any plans to open a shop in Kun City? Don’t you worry! I’ll definitely bring my entire department to support you."

The middle-aged man looked at Yue Longfan with nervous anticipation.

"Well..."

Yue Longfan looked troubled. "That would be up to my master, but for now, he has no such plans."

"I see..."

The eavesdropping customers were extremely disappointed.

The buns were just too delicious. Especially for first-timers, they couldn’t help but be shocked that such incredible buns existed in this world.

It was normal for them to be reluctant to see the stall go.

Afterward, many customers asked for the shop’s name and address before leaving.

Yue Longfan didn’t have a moment’s rest.

More and more old customers brought new ones to the stall.

Old Wang took a harsh drag from his cigarette.

’Pure agony.’

In just a short while, every single customer in front of his stall had run off to line up at Jiang’s Buns.

The other stalls were all affected, more or less.

This pissed off the dozens of other stall owners.

’Are you fucking here to wreck our business?!...’

...

Li Xiaoyan sat on a lounge chair by the entrance, smoking a cigarette as she supervised employees handing out flyers.

「Just this morning.」
