Chapter 564: Chapter 436: When the Court Is Packed with People (Part 2)
The commotion caused by the Wild Blade Skill attracted many onlookers, whose mouths gradually changed from "o" to "0".
When viewers in Li Xinyu’s livestream saw this scene, even through the screen, everyone seemed a bit mesmerized.
"This... wait, streamer, can you get a little closer? I find it hard to believe this is really cutting vegetables—could this actually be random chopping?"
"It must be just random chopping. Who could possibly wield a knife like that and still cut vegetables properly? You don’t even need this much force just for chopping minced meat!"
"I’ve never tried Boss Xiao Chen’s snacks, I’m just asking if they’re really tasty? Looking at it now, it kinda feels like a gimmick to attract attention?"
"Definitely a gimmick! That actor earlier, now with this extravagant knife skill—they just want to lure the livestream fans in for slaughter. Do they really think everyone is stupid?"
Seeing some viewers in the livestream start questioning Boss Chen, Li Xinyu was also a bit stunned.
She wasn’t a professional streamer, so facing this situation, she truly didn’t know what to do momentarily. She could only explain, "No, no, Boss Xiao Chen’s snacks are super tasty! Outside today, there were so many people queueing and jogging along. Really, if you don’t believe me, just ask the veteran fans in the livestream."
Li Xinyu’s words seemed to have no effect, as the newcomers didn’t buy it at all.
She quickly ran over to the food truck, raised her phone high to show the interior of the truck.
When the livestream showed the chopping board with perfectly uniform tofu cubes, for a fleeting moment, the rapidly updating chat messages paused blankly.
The fans were somewhat dumbfounded.
Just now, with such a wild knife skill, could tofu actually be chopped like this and not crumbed?
After the tofu blocks were cut, the oil temperature had just risen, and Chen Mo deftly poured all the tofu cubes into the oil pan at once.
"Swoosh!"
The intense sizzling sound filled the entire stadium, and the aroma of oil quickly spread. The crowd at the stadium greedily inhaled deeply, unwilling to miss even the untamed oil vapours.
"Ugh, can’t stand it anymore! Streamer, give me the location, I’m coming over!"
"That’s exactly what I was thinking! Streamer, aren’t you supposed to share Boss Xiao Chen’s location? Why aren’t you sharing it now?"
"Quickly share the location, today’s cart noodles were just getting amazing when it sold out—so unsatisfying!"
Li Xinyu looked up at the busy Chen Mo, bit her lip, and shared the current real-time location on the livestream.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
Having initial experience, Chen Mo was now methodical and orderly, busy but not chaotic.
After frying the tofu, as the oil drained, he began the stir-fried squid.
Once cooked, he sliced open boxes to scoop out the tofu filling.
Then packed up the boxes and seamlessly transitioned to water frying.
Every new step seemed to release fresh tempting aromas within the stadium.
Having arrived at the stadium, Chen Kexin watched Chen Mo cook for a while, then, utterly bored, began to aimlessly wander around.
Knowing she couldn’t eat anytime soon, perhaps due to a professional quirk, she couldn’t sit still unless in her bedroom.
As Chen Kexin walked numerous rounds around the stadium, she was startled to discover something odd.
"Something’s off—I took just three minutes for the first round, but now it’s taking seven minutes per round?"
She’d been circling the crowd at the stadium center, initially almost within the central area, yet now she was being squeezed towards the outer seats.
"More people here? And so many of them?"
Bemused, Chen Kexin moved to the stadium entrance, discovering indeed that people were continuously streaming in, one group following another almost non-stop.
So much so...
Within just a few minutes of arriving, the stadium grew increasingly noisy.
"There’s no more room—everyone shove towards the edge!"
"Yeah, what’s wrong with you new arrivals? Don’t you know etiquette? Stop squeezing inward!"
"Ouch, you’re stepping on my foot! Stop pushing!"
Turning back for another look, Chen Kexin found the stadium fully packed, everyone desperately trying to edge closer to Chen Mo’s food truck, with the outermost customers already squeezed into the spectator seats.
"This is just absurd!" Chen Kexin rubbed the back of her head, "It won’t do at all like this; the stadium doesn’t have lights, and if someone falls, it will be problematic."
For a police officer, the awareness of safety was crucial.
Observing the chaotic crowd pushing against each other, Chen Kexin steeled herself, forcefully broke through the crowd, and struggled to reach the food truck, "Xinyu."
"Huh?"
Amidst her hectic livestreaming, Li Xinyu, soaked in sweat, felt squeezed increasingly tight, "What’s wrong, Kexin?"
"How’s your livestream account now—has it been officially verified?"
"No, it’s been submitted, just waiting for the last step of agreeing to it. Is something wrong?"
Chen Kexin stood on her tiptoes to eye the thronging heads, "Verify it now; I fear there could be an accident if this continues. I’ll put on my police uniform, and once your account is verified, I can help maintain order here!"
"Huh?"
Before Li Xinyu could figure out the intentions, she saw Chen Kexin clearing a path, running over to her scooter, pulling out a uniform jacket and hat from the small trunk.
They casually stashed several such outfits wherever possible, often too lazy to change officially at the station.
"Toot! Toot! Wah-woo wah-woo~"
Chen Kexin pressed the loudspeaker on her waist, sounding the sharp police siren, "Everyone, don’t crowd! To prevent any stampede, please follow my instructions!"
Li Xinyu suddenly realized and hurriedly approved the long-submitted verification application on the livestream, instantly putting an official blue mark on the ordinary stream, transforming it into a police station official livestream.
"As you can see now, due to Boss Xiao Chen’s appearance, this abandoned baseball stadium has gathered a large crowd eagerly waiting for food!"
"To ensure safety, our colleagues are working overtime onsite to maintain order throughout the night."
Li Xinyu’s voice suddenly adopted a more formal and regulated tone.
"Fans who are watching the livestream, please refrain from coming tonight as it’s already overloaded here, making it difficult to get Boss Xiao Chen’s snacks... Hey, the snacks are ready!"
Li Xinyu couldn’t maintain her composure for even a minute, promptly getting distracted by the commotion. Turning, she saw Xiaoxia placing the prepared squid tofu package on the platter, causing her to break her serious demeanor, speaking with excitement, forgetting she was live.
"Mine! Mine! I queued earlier, so it’s my turn now, ahhh!"
Chen Kexin facepalmed at her unreliable colleague.
Continuing to speak through the megaphone, "Listen to my instructions, customers here should immediately move to the spectator seats, forbidden to gather up front!"
Despite everything, Chen Kexin was a police officer. Under her guidance, customers obediently vacated the stadium to take seats in the spectator section.
Some stubborn customers refused to leave the side of the food truck.
Chen Kexin approached, speaking into the megaphone, "Miss, would you kindly serve food according to the spectator seat numbers?"
Xiaoxia hesitated, thinking, I’m not a server, what’s this got to do with me?
Chen Mo nodded, "Follow her. Once we’re finished here, I’ll give you two pieces of each snack."
The stunned Xiaoxia immediately perked up.
You mention giving me food, well then I’ll be obedient, alright!
She nodded vigorously, then carried the platter directly to the spectator stands, distributing snacks from seat number 1 onwards.
Simultaneously, she also collected payments.
Those who stuck by the food truck saw what happened and begrudgingly headed towards the spectator seats, albeit now only able to take seats further back.
Thus...
When Chen Mo looked up again.
He realized that the scene in the stadium now seemed more bizarre than when he first arrived.
