Chapter 570: Chapter 555: A City Full of Human Touch

"What’s happening today?"

A certain mysterious person in Wudu looked at the clouds that didn’t seem like they were about to rain and scratched his head, puzzled.

The same question was asked by some mysterious person next door in Sichuan.

"Where did this heavy rain come from? There was no warning at all before!"

Completely confused, they were scratching their heads trying to figure out the sudden downpour.

Suddenly, one sharp-witted person had an idea and asked tentatively, "Could it be the warmth sent by our neighbors in Wudu?"

"Huh?"

The person in charge was taken aback, "No way, they haven’t had rain themselves, and they have time to worry about us?"

"Isn’t it possible that their second shot missed the target too?"

"Huh? They just resolved the ’Shaking Trousers Crisis,’ and now the second shot brings us warmth?"

"Isn’t that just showing the kinship between Sichuan and Chongqing?"

"You don’t say, it really has that vibe!"

The Sichuan people were half-cursing and half-happy: "This useless weather forecast, it clearly said no rain today, but here we have at least moderate rain. It’s becoming more unreliable."

"But this rain is quite good, at least it’s much cooler today."

"I heard this rain wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Wudu sending it over." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ha? Then we should really thank our neighbors for their good intentions."

"They’re in a difficult situation themselves, yet they’re still sending us warmth. We people of Sichuan remember this generosity!"

The news of the heavy rain in Sichuan quickly spread online. The story of Wudu’s mysterious department sending rain to Sichuan also quickly made the rounds. While the people of Sichuan were joyful, naturally, the people of Wudu wore expressions of slight discontent.

"What’s this nonsense! Here we are with the ’Shaking Trousers Crisis,’ but when it’s for others, it’s a torrential downpour!"

"Investigate the ancestors for three generations! There must be some shady dealings going on here!"

"Damn weather bureau! Are you messing with us?"

Amidst the netizens’ criticisms of the mysterious department, a few incongruent replies caught the eye.

A netizen with a Wushan Paper-Wrapped Fish avatar timidly asked, "Just wondering, what’s going on today? How come so many people came to my shop all of a sudden? In just over 3 hours, I’ve sold what I would normally sell in a day."

"Our boss also asked me to check what’s going on. Today it feels like everyone is going on a spending spree; ever since this morning I’ve been too busy to even catch my breath, and the waiting numbers outside have exceeded 70." A netizen with a Ren He Water Drift avatar commented.

Soon, others echoed the same sentiment, expressing surprise at how their business suddenly exploded.

These shops, originally well-known in the area and usually busy, were now overwhelmed by the volume. The customer surge was no exaggeration.

The curiosity of these shop owners quickly caught the attention of netizens, who immediately shifted their focus from the mysterious department to addressing the shop owners’ questions.

Two related staff members wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, silently thanking Wang Fan.

They, being regulars on the internet, knew that this sudden increase in patrons was definitely due to Wang Fan’s recommendation list.

It’s the weekend, so there were already out-of-towners here for sightseeing. Thanks to Boss Wang’s recommendation list, they naturally wanted to try the nearby eateries.

Moreover, many of the restaurants on Boss Wang’s recommendation list were new to locals too. Their curiosity inevitably contributed to the increased data.

"Fellow shop owners, think carefully, was there a tall, handsome guy over 6’2" and a pretty girl around 5’7" who visited your shop yesterday?"

The questioners were glued online, restless until their curiosity was satisfied.

"Yes, I remember; someone that tall is hard to miss."

"That girl was especially pretty and felt very friendly. I even gave her a little treat, but they paid for it before leaving."

"Now that you mention it, I thought the guy seemed familiar but just couldn’t place him."

The netizens became even more excited, especially those who had recommended these restaurants to Wang Fan. Each took pride in their contribution: "That’s the ultimate outdoor food boss, Boss Wang. He asked me which grilled fish was tasty, so I recommended your Wushan Paper-Wrapped Fish. After trying it, he put it on his recommendation list. Hence, tourists and locals who are nearby decided to try it out."

"Exactly, I recommended Ren He Water Drift; it made it onto Boss Wang’s list, and I bet the other busy joints are too occupied to even check online."

"The ’ultimate outdoor food boss’s selections can’t be wrong, right? I’m a fan of skewers. Let’s see if Boss Wang updates the skewers category today."

"Hey, it’s updated! Boss Wang’s skewer recommendations are out. Go take a look to see if your favorite made the list."

"I’m really torn right now. I’m afraid the place I frequent will make the list and consequently become too crowded, but if it doesn’t make the list, I’ll feel like I’m missing out..."

Around 2 PM, Wang Fan updated his list again.
