Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 87

Chapter 87 They Might Call the Police! The Taste Buds Were Amazed!

“He’s the father of my child.”

Those words were like thunder in a calm sky. Thankfully, there were only four people in the luxurious private room—Shen Muyan, Ouyang Lin, Manager Wang, and Ouyang Lin’s secretary. Otherwise, tomorrow, the whole company of Euray would be gossiping non-stop.

Manager Wang felt that Shen Muyan’s statement carried a lot of weight, and he didn’t dare process it, afraid of being silenced.

Ouyang Lin’s expression grew a bit strange. This couple was so odd—one was a president of a five-star hotel chain, the other a street vendor. The contrast was too much.

However, he didn’t have time to gossip, so he quickly shifted gears, putting away his smile.

“Shen, let’s get back to business.”

At that moment, Manager Wang and Ouyang Lin’s secretary both left the room.

Ouyang Lin got straight to the point.

“Shen, next weekend is my father’s 80th birthday, and we’re hosting a birthday banquet at Wangjing No. 1 in Haishi. One dish my father always talks about is liver paste soup, so it absolutely has to be on the menu. I need fifty servings of liver paste soup, and I hope your husband can come to Haishi for this.”

Having just added an extra 20 million to his investment, Shen Muyan couldn’t refuse this request.

“I’ll ask him,” Shen Muyan replied, unsure of how to respond right away.

“Feel free to name your price,” Ouyang Lin said, ensuring that Lu Qin wouldn’t be doing this for free.

In the kitchen of Zijing Restaurant, Lu Qin rushed in, made the liver paste soup, and then hurriedly left again. To outsiders, it looked like a chivalrous hero coming to the rescue.

But in reality, he had a hungry group in his Penguin group waiting for him. If he didn’t set up his street stall in the afternoon, they might even call the police, reporting a missing person or something.

On the table, two servings of liver paste soup were left.

“Uncle Mai, try this liver paste soup.”

In the kitchen, Mai Dejun was the oldest and most respected, so of course, the first taste was his. Mai Dejun didn’t hesitate and took a spoonful. Everyone watched him.

Just one bite, and Mai Dejun’s taste buds were completely blown away. The liver paste was dense, fresh, tender, and melted in his mouth. The broth was clear, fresh, and smooth, perfectly complementing the liver paste. The two flavors balanced each other perfectly, creating a non-spicy, non-pungent Sichuan dish that was brought to its peak in flavor and texture.

Is this the work of a master-level liver paste soup?

Mai Dejun thought that at his age, being able to taste such an exquisite liver paste soup was enough to make his life complete. He couldn’t resist having two more spoonfuls before noticing that there were still people in the kitchen. He put the bowl down and invited everyone to try it.

Soon, everyone took a spoon and tried a bite.

“Wow! So this is liver paste soup? How can the broth be this fresh?”

“This paste really melts in your mouth! What kind of knife skills does it take to do this?”

“The texture is delicate and delicious, and after the first bite, the aroma of the liver paste slowly spreads. There’s a refreshing and rich aftertaste. This must be top-tier cooking to make such a tasty liver paste soup!”

After tasting, Hu Zhijun felt his taste buds were shaken, and when he compared it to his own liver paste soup, he spat in disgust.

“What is this? What was I thinking?”

Shen Muyan and Manager Wang came into the kitchen, only to find that the two servings of liver paste soup had already been devoured by a group of people. Even the broth in the pot had been scooped up into individual bowls.

Lu Qin returned home on his three-wheeled scooter, preparing the ingredients for his street stall. It was already 4:30 pm.

Shen Muyan couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. Each bowl of liver paste soup costs 110,000 yuan, and she hadn’t even had a taste.

…

In the Penguin group, the mute setting was lifted, and Lu Qin sent a message out to the group. The stall location was at the People’s Square Pedestrian Street.

Immediately, messages flooded in, many with pictures of people who looked emaciated and starving. Lu Qin chuckled, put his phone away, and set off on his scooter.

When he arrived at the People’s Square Pedestrian Street, the group admin, a chubby guy named Zhou Weiwei, was waiting at the entrance. As soon as he saw the scooter, he rushed over.

“Boss Lu, let’s set up in the busy district, the guys are all waiting!”

“Busy district?”

“Yeah, some of the customers have connections with the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and they managed to get us a temporary stall spot.”

Lu Qin was led to the busy area.

Today, the queue was unusually long—about a third of the entire pedestrian street.

Passersby were completely confused.

“Hey, buddy, what are you guys lining up for? There’s nothing up ahead.”

“Just follow the line, you won’t regret it. There’ll be more people soon.”

“Don’t talk to me, I’ve been starving since morning. If you say one more word, I’ll pass out from low blood sugar!”

“Do you have any bread? I need something to hold me over.”

“No way, I’m waiting for stir-fried noodles, crystal shrimp dumplings, twice-cooked pork, imperial chicken wings, chicken tofu flower, and I’ll finish off with chilled mung bean soup. I’ve got the whole meal planned, can’t waste any space with bread.”

Surprisingly, many people didn’t even know what they were waiting for. They just followed the crowd, causing the line to stretch far and wide. This spectacle shocked the other food stall owners in the busy area. They rushed out to see the strange scene.

Someone yelled, “Boss Lu’s here!”

And immediately, the entire crowd turned to face Lu Qin.

“Boss Lu, you finally made it! I’m starving, I could eat eight dishes right now!”

“My stir-fried noodles are calling my name, hurry up and give me one!”

“Boss Lu, look at me, I’m so hungry my pants are falling down. The beautiful lady in front thought I was hitting on her and almost called the police.”

“Crystal shrimp dumplings! My crystal shrimp dumplings!”

“Imperial chicken wings, no wings!”

…

Amid countless complaints and requests, Lu Qin set up his stall and started serving food.

“What? Stir-fried noodles are limited?” The first customer asked in surprise, looking at the whiteboard.

“Hey handsome, what would you like?”

“You’re the handsome one, I’m not even gonna compete. If everything’s limited, what should I order? Just give me everything!”

“Okay.”

Lu Qin began to make stir-fried noodles and twice-cooked pork. One wok of noodles made five portions, and one wok of twice-cooked pork made three portions. Customers paid by scanning the QR code and calculated the total themselves to avoid distracting Lu Qin.

After the first customer left, the second customer was about to order when Lu Qin grabbed a plate of stir-fried noodles and started eating.

“I haven’t had lunch yet, just need a few bites to tide me over.”

At first, every customer was in a rush, but when they found out that Lu Qin hadn’t eaten yet, they all felt sympathy.

“Boss Lu, you haven’t eaten and you’re here serving us, I’m so touched!”

“Boss Lu, take your time eating. Get full, rest for a bit. If anyone rushes you, I’ll perform a full set of calisthenics… oh no, I’ll beat them with a combination of martial arts moves!”

“Boss Lu really isn’t easy. Every time he sets up his stall, he has to prepare hundreds of portions of ingredients, and once the morning shift is over, he starts prepping for the afternoon. He works harder than any donkey on a production team!”

“Hey, don’t insult people! How can you compare Boss Lu to a donkey?”

“Boss Lu is such a great guy, raising a kid and earning a living all on his own. Seriously, if it gets too tough, raise the price a little, I’ll be happy to pay more!”

Many people brought snacks and fruit that were originally meant for the little one, but now, they piled the fruits into the empty basket in front of Lu Qin.

One young lady even thoughtfully helped peel apples. Other girls saw this and couldn’t hold back. One peeled apples, another peeled oranges, and yet another chopped dragon fruit. It looked like a scene from a harem competition for favor.
