Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 359 - 333: The Neighboring Young Boss Is About to Lose Even His Underwear
"Bro, is the boss out of his mind?"
"Don’t say that."
Xue An looked at the empty street, "What’s he expecting us to maintain, huh? Maybe to keep these lion heads from squeezing themselves flat?"
Xue Ping was about to scold his brother when suddenly he saw a crowd pouring out from the end of the path at the North Gate.
At first glance, there were at least twenty people!
And they were all surrounding a man in the middle wearing a white chef’s uniform, none other than Huang Bo, who had a bet set for today.
"Here they come."
"Geez, bro, who do you think will win?"
"Given it’s about three consecutive days of sales, it’s hard to say who will win or lose. But I still hope the boss wins!"
Xue An also nodded vigorously, "Yeah, that way we don’t look completely useless."
Xue Ping: ???
As they spoke, the group came over in a grand manner, with Zhu Yan beside Huang Bo and a large group of people surrounding them. Some were employees from Jingya Pavilion. Upon hearing that the head chef was coming to the Ecological Garden for a bet, they came to support as soon as possible!
And a part of them were local people who watched the live stream last night and timed their visit to watch the spectacle.
Huang Bo reached the designated spot, glanced at Chen Mo, and then pointed to the empty spot next to the yellow cart, "Here, set it up."
Standing still, the restaurant employees quickly assembled their tools and equipment into a simple yet sophisticated kitchen counter in minutes.
In a loud voice, Huang Bo spoke to his people, "For fried rice, one pot and one stove is enough. What’s the point of all those fancy tricks? Skills matter most!"
His words were aimed at Chen Mo.
The person in the food truck merely smiled.
Everyone was about the same age, but Chen Mo couldn’t understand why Huang Bo was so flamboyant. Maybe early fame goes to the head?
But that’s not right.
I even have a system and haven’t gotten that cocky!
Huang Bo approached the counter, looked around, and found his targeted person, "Hey, buddy, come over here."
Today, Gao Hao had left work early and started a live stream right away. His leadership said nothing about his streaming at the Ecological Garden, basically giving silent approval.
Making some extra cash is thrilling!
When he started the stream, Gao Hao planned to feature Boss Chen first, after all, his giant ladle flip with chicken broth drizzle operation was indeed a spectacle.
Hearing Chef Huang calling him, Gao Hao walked over, "What’s up?"
"I’m about to start setting up the stall. Stand here."
Gao Hao: ???
Brother, are you dizzy?
Gao Hao wouldn’t take Huang Bo’s guff. If he didn’t know better, he might have been bluffed, but who is Gao Hao? He’s the guy who’s actually tasted Boss Chen’s fried rice!
"No way, I’m streaming, but I need to eat too. Give me a..." Gao Hao suddenly remembered the bet from yesterday and abruptly changed his request, "Half a portion of fried rice."
Huang Bo didn’t mind what Gao Hao said, nodded politely with a smile, "Great, first order of the day has arrived."
Then to Gao Hao’s phone, he announced, "Viewers in the live room, if any locals can now come to the North Gate of the Ecological Garden, and if you order again after eating the first half portion, that half is free."
Gao Hao found it amusing and thought, Chef Huang, you forgot there’s a prerequisite, the customer must order your dishes again for it to work.
With Gao Hao ordering, other locals who came with Huang Bo also lined up to order.
"Give me a half portion too!"
"Chef Huang personally cooking, it’d be a shame not to try it, I have to have a half portion first."
"Haha, the little boss next door might end up losing even his underpants, each half portion costs 94 Yuan, who can handle selling too much?"
"If you dare to bet, you must be willing to lose! A real man takes responsibility for his words."
The locals accompanying Huang Bo mostly had dined at Jingya Pavilion and knew Huang Bo, thanks to Jingya Pavilion’s unique fried rice preparation.
In this restaurant, a regular portion of Yangzhou Fried Rice is 58 Yuan, just order and you’re good.
But there’s also a Special Fried Rice!
If someone orders the 298 Yuan Special Fried Rice, the restaurant invites the customer to an open kitchen inside to directly watch the chef prepare it.
While cooking, the chef also shares various stories.
Huang Bo is the chef making the Special Fried Rice at Jingya Pavilion, holding a good reputation. Sometimes customers at Jingya Pavilion specifically request him to make their fried rice.
Hearing his hardcore fans full of confidence in him, Huang Bo followed up on the topic deliberately loud, "Oh, we can bet all we want, but honestly, we’re all just regular people. If it really feels too much, it’s okay to admit defeat in advance!"
As his voice fell, cheers erupted around, praising Chef Huang for his magnanimity!
Gao Hao and Zhang Huixiang exchanged glances, whispering in hushed tones.
"What do you think, if Huang Bo loses eventually, won’t it be embarrassing?"
Zhang Huixiang also thought this path wasn’t quite right, "For one of the Four Famous Buildings, keeping a low profile would be wiser. Losing isn’t just about his face, but also a letdown for the other three buildings."
Gao Hao nodded, "Forget it, it’s none of our business in cultural tourism, we’re just here to fan the flames."
Not stopping there, Gao Hao even asked his boss if they could use the unit’s account for streaming.
After all, wherever the internet spotlight shines, the cultural tourism bureau responds quickly, with official accounts streaming and promoting videos not being uncommon.
The boss, who had tasted Chen Mo’s fried rice and lion heads, soon gave Gao Hao a clear response.
Just don’t activate any gift-giving features, and it’s fine.
Heart filled with joy, Gao Hao quickly borrowed Zhang Huixiang’s phone to log into the cultural tourism bureau’s official account, started streaming and synced with his own account.
This allowed viewers to watch both streams on one device, easily switching between the two whenever desired.
"What’s this, going for a PK battle?"
Gao Hao returned the phone to Zhang Huixiang, "I’ll cover Boss Chen’s stall, you cover Chef Huang’s. This way the fans can watch both stalls cooking at the same time."
Zhang Huixiang’s eyes lit up, not expecting Gao Hao to be such a clever guy, but quickly asked, "Why can’t I cover Boss Chen’s side?"
Gao Hao was taken aback for a moment.
"No way, I’m covering Boss Chen. You handle Chef Huang, agree to this, and I’ll help you out."
Gao Hao helplessly waved his hand, "Alright, alright. Making a fuss over such a small matter."
Zhang Huixiang chuckled, turning to Huang Bo, "Chef Huang, half a portion of fried rice for me too!"
"Alright, alright. Someone, make a note for me, so when there are too many people later, the little boss next door won’t forget to bill them, haha."
Zhang Huixiang rolled his eyes, taking his place beside Chen Mo’s food truck.
Here, at this moment, it was still empty.
