Chapter 190 The Zhang Family Counts a Large Fortune
The small folding table was completely empty of takeout boxes.
Secretary Chen was holding an empty plastic spoon.
"Ha...I'm full."
Secretary Chen leaned back in the plastic chair, rubbing her lower abdomen. "Sister Qingxue, let alone waiting in line for half an hour, just with this smell, I'd be willing to wait in line for an hour next week."
Su Qingxue sat opposite her, having also finished her lunchbox.
She was wiping her mouth with a tissue when she heard Secretary Chen's words and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to pack one up to take home for a late-night snack?"
Su Qingxue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"I'd like to."
Secretary Chen, with a pained expression, pointed to the crowd over the control panel and said, "Look at this scene."
If I dared to queue up again to buy another serving now, the hungry diners behind me would probably glare at me and kill me.
We shouldn't be too greedy if we can eat our fill.
Su Qingxue looked in the direction she was pointing.
Inside the greenhouse, Lin Chen and Wang Hai's clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
Just then, Wang Hai's shout suddenly came from the control panel.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Please stop for a moment! Listen to me!"
Wang Hai handed the last serving of minced meat rice to the customer in front of him.
This commotion instantly silenced the previously noisy queue.
"I'm really sorry everyone, all 70 jin of minced meat for today have been sold out!"
Not a drop of soup is left!
Wang Hai wiped the sweat from his face and bowed apologetically to the people behind him.
Upon hearing this, the diners at the back of the queue burst into a wail.
"Huh? No way! It's gone again!"
"Boss, are you kidding me?"
I've only gotten halfway through the line!
"How come seventy catties of meat sold out so quickly!"
"Boss Lin, we absolutely have to increase the quantity tomorrow!"
Faced with the diners' complaints, Wang Hai looked helpless.
"It's really gone. Look, everyone, the bucket is so clean you could use it as a mirror."
Wang Hai then shouted, "The minced meat rice is really gone, but there are still ten servings of fried rice left!"
Those of you further down the line, count the heads yourselves. If you're any way past tenth place, you really don't need to wait any longer today. Sorry about that!
"Let's grab some fried rice!"
"Don't push! It's me, number ten! The rest of you, move along!"
The previously somewhat dejected team was thrown into turmoil again by the last ten servings of fried rice.
Those who didn't get a table dispersed dejectedly, while the ten lucky ones who made it to the end of the line were beaming with excitement.
On the folding table, Secretary Chen watched this scene and couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
"Sister Qingxue, we are so lucky."
If I had arrived ten minutes later, I probably wouldn't have been able to get any.
Secretary Chen patted his chest.
"Um."
Su Qingxue said, "His craftsmanship will shine wherever it is."
At his stall, Lin Chen had already begun his final sprint.
"Slap! Slap!"
Crack an egg, and the yolk falls into the scalding hot iron pan, creating a cloud of white smoke.
Rice was shoved into the pot, causing the iron pot to bounce in mid-air.
Sprinkle in chopped green onions, and the wok hei (steaming aroma) rises.
"The last one, all done!"
As Wang Hai handed the last serving of fried rice to a male college student, the payment loudspeaker announced its final message.
"Beep! WeChat payment received, 99 yuan."
In an instant, the No. 1 greenhouse, which had been noisy for more than two hours, finally became completely quiet.
"call……"
Wang Hai slumped into the plastic chair next to him, too weak to even move a finger.
"Brother Chen, I can't go on. I feel like I've lost at least three pounds from all that exercise today."
Wang Hai was breathing heavily and weakly.
Lin Chen turned off the valve on the high-powered stove.
He pulled off the towel from his neck and wiped his face, which was flushed from his labor.
"Get up, check the accounts, pack your things and go home."
Lin Chen spoke up.
"Alright."
Upon hearing the words "account reconciliation," Wang Hai instantly jumped up from his stool, grabbed the smart speaker hanging on the stand, and began checking today's total sales on his phone.
At this moment, Tangtang, carrying her completely empty little plastic basket, ran to the counter.
"Daddy! Fatty Uncle! All the spoons are glowing!"
Tangtang raised her little face, her big eyes sparkling, full of pride, "Not a single one was left!"
Isn't Tangtang amazing?
"Whether it's impressive or not isn't up to me to decide; it depends on what our CFO has to say."
While staring at the numbers on his phone screen, Wang Hai winked happily at Tangtang.
Lin Chen bent down and wiped the sweat off his daughter's face with a clean, damp towel, his eyes full of gentleness: "Impressive."
I'll give you a little red flower as a reward when we get home tonight.
"Yay!"
Tangtang was so happy that she jumped up and down on the spot.
Outside the greenhouse, night had completely fallen, and the lights in the square were just coming on, with the night breeze carrying away some of the daytime heat.
Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen stood up and walked over side by side.
"Boss Lin, Boss Wang, thank you for your hospitality today."
Secretary Chen greeted them with a smile, then looked at Lin Chen, "Then we'll head back first, so as not to delay your packing up."
Lin Chen stopped what he was doing and looked up at the two of them.
"Drive carefully."
Lin Chen spoke up.
Su Qingxue stood to the side and nodded slightly.
She looked down at Tangtang, who was staring at her expectantly, squatted down, and straightened the little girl's slightly crooked bangs.
"Tangtang, the pretty auntie and Aunt Chen are going home."
Su Qingxue said softly, "Thank you Tangtang for taking us for a ride today and for helping Dad with so many chores."
When you get home, listen to your dad and go to bed early, okay?
Tangtang obediently clung to Su Qingxue's clothes, somewhat reluctant to part.
"Pretty aunties, will you be coming back next week to eat Daddy's cooking?"
"I'll save you the best seat next week!" Tangtang asked in her sweet, childish voice.
Hearing the little girl's thoughtful words, Su Qingxue felt a gentle touch on the softest part of her heart.
She looked up and met Lin Chen's gaze, her eyes curving slightly.
"it is good."
Su Qingxue stood up and said, "If I have time next week, Auntie will definitely come again."
"Pinky promise, for a hundred years, never to be broken!"
Tangtang sticks out her little finger.
Su Qingxue chuckled and extended her little finger, gently hooking it together with Tangtang's chubby little finger.
"Pinky promise."
After interacting with Tangtang, Su Qingxue looked at Lin Chen again.
See you Monday.
Su Qingxue said.
See you Monday.
Lin Chen nodded in response.
Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen turned around and walked out of the greenhouse side by side.
The two figures appeared exceptionally tall and captivating under the night sky and streetlights, and soon merged into the dwindling crowd in the square.
Inside the greenhouse, only Lin Chen and his group remained.
"Brother Chen, today's setup is absolutely amazing."
Wang Hai withdrew his gaze, held up his phone in front of Lin Chen, and reported to his supervisor with a beaming face, "The accounts are reconciled!"
Guess how many we sold tonight?
After deducting the cost of 70 jin of pork and all the side dishes, the net profit alone exceeded this amount!
Wang Hai made several hand gestures, his voice trembling with excitement.
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Let's move our things."
Lin Chen wasn't blinded by the numbers and interrupted him directly.
He picked up the empty thermos and walked towards the tricycle outside the greenhouse.
"Hey! Brother Chen, wait for me!"
Wang Hai called out from behind and quickly grabbed Tangtang's little hand, "Captain, let's keep up!"
Time to go home and count the money!
"Time to count the money!"
Tangtang's clear, sweet voice echoed through the greenhouse.
