Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 285 - 286: I’m Their Godfather, So You’re Their Uncle

Chapter 285: Chapter 286: I’m Their Godfather, So You’re Their Uncle

"Charge, brothers!"

"Fire the cannon at the second cafeteria!"

"No one can stop my dining pace!"

"As long as I keep eating, there’s no weight I can’t catch up to."

"Dining people have dining souls, dining is for the top of the society."

As soon as the class bell rang, countless students howled and dashed out of the classroom, rushing toward the cafeteria.

Principal Chen, watching the students speeding by like the wind, couldn’t help but exclaim to Director Hao, "Look at this batch of students, so full of energy, that’s how students should be, but what are they running off to do so quickly?"

Director Hao laughed, "They must be heading to the science second cafeteria to eat, it’s the only place that makes them run like that."

Principal Chen had some impression of the science second cafeteria, "You wouldn’t be talking about the one that sent Professor Ai to the hospital with just 5 steamed buns, would you?"

Director Hao nodded, "That’s the one, but now he only sells steamed buns in the morning, he says he’s switched to other dishes for lunch and dinner. Today’s lunch is Cantonese crispy roast pork, and it’s received very well."

"Oh? Well, if the opportunity arises, we should go try it. I’m curious to see what kind of deliciousness can make him confident no one can eat just 5 steamed buns, hahaha."

Principal Chen knew about Professor Ai’s incident but felt it was somewhat exaggerated.

Just because someone eats only 5 of your steamed buns, how can you determine they have stomach problems? How narcissistic is that?

Although in the end, something did get found, which was probably just a coincidence, right?

Anyway, he held a strong skeptical attitude towards this matter.

Even if it’s a gourmet feast, there are people who don’t fancy it!

"Principal Chen, Director Hao, what are you two doing here?"

Professor Liu, having just finished his meal at the second cafeteria, was about to return to his office to fetch something when he saw the principal and the director standing there.

Principal Chen chuckled, "Professor Liu, we’re just taking a stroll, what brings you here?"

Professor Liu replied, "I just finished a class and felt hungry, so I went over to the second cafeteria to have a meal."

"Oh? You went to the second cafeteria too?"

Principal Chen asked, "Did you go to the fifth window?"

Professor Liu nodded, "Yes."

Professor Liu had been personally recruited by Principal Chen, and he knew her background well, knowing she had served as a food critic during her overseas studies. He curiously asked, "How did you find the food there? Is it as extraordinary as they say?"

Professor Liu smiled wryly, "To be honest, I went there hoping to find fault, because he’s dating a student I think highly of, but whether it’s for lunch or dinner, all I could critique was the presentation, I really couldn’t find any other problems."

This made Principal Chen and Director Hao burst into laughter, "Professor Liu, your mindset needs a change, they are adults now, free to love whoever they want, hahaha."

Director Hao added, "Listening to you, now I’m quite curious about what the food tastes like. If even you can’t find faults, it must be of a five-star hotel quality, right?"

Professor Liu shook her head, "It’s different, I’ve dined at many five-star hotels, and few have left a lasting impression. The meals often try too hard to be exquisite, sometimes they don’t even match up to some specialty restaurants. If you have time, you should definitely give it a taste, I believe it would be a worthwhile experience."

Hearing this, Principal Chen’s curiosity was piqued, "Director Hao, how about we go try it out now?"

Director Hao laughed, "Sure, after hearing Professor Liu, I’m quite curious too."

Professor Liu, hearing their conversation, laughed, "You two shouldn’t go now, even if you do, you won’t get served, the line was reaching the first floor entrance when I left. You better go early tomorrow, and make sure it’s before the cafeteria opens, otherwise our old bodies won’t keep up with those young, strong students."

"Ah? Really?"

Principal Chen and Director Hao were genuinely surprised.

Equally surprised were the students in line.

Zhu Yuxiao doubted his eyes, but after rubbing them, the sign still clearly read: Five-Spice Fried Egg Rice, 10 yuan a serving.

"Brother, what are you doing? Charity work without considering living expenses?"

Wang Fan laughed, "What, making less off of you, you’re not happy about it?"

Zhu Yuxiao said, "It’s not that I’m unhappy, I’m afraid! This price makes me suspect we’re long-lost brothers! What you’re doing isn’t running a business, it’s like giving out welfare!"

Wang Fan, speechless, said, "You’re full of words, hurry up and decide if you want it or not, watch out or the others might kick you."

yuan was indeed very cheap, but since Wang Fan set it, it meant he still had at least a 20% profit margin.

Eggs cost 4 yuan per kilogram, roughly 8 eggs per kilogram, 4 eggs cost only about 2 yuan.

The cost of oil, electricity, rice, mixed vegetables, tomato paste and so on, didn’t add up to much, it was just a matter of earning more or less. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Zhu Yuxiao waved his hand, "I’ll wait by the side, serve them first, I’ll ask my dorm buddies if they want some, they’ve been spending over budget and didn’t dare to come tonight."

Saying that, he moved aside to give room for the people behind him.

This kind of thing is common in university, and since he queued by himself without cutting in line, no one’s going to say anything.

Zhu Yuxiao took out his phone and called his dorm mates, "Hey, Rat, my dear brother’s dinner is 10 yuan each, do you guys want..."

Before he could finish his sentence, an excited voice interrupted on the phone, "Godfather, one serving each for us, thanks!"

Zhu Yuxiao pocketed his phone and asked the guy in line, "Mind if I grab a meal first? Thanks, buddy."

The guy nodded silently, waiting in place for Zhu Yuxiao to finish.

"Hey, my brother, I’ll take a Five-Spice Fried Egg Rice, and each of your three dear nephews want one too, I’ll take it to go."

Calling someone brother and having his dorm buddies call him godfather, naturally made him the uncle, the logic was so smooth, it’s hilarious!

Wang Fan found it hard to handle Tianjin guys talking, not because it was unpleasant, but because it always made him want to laugh. The contents of what they said and their pace and tone made it feel like a comedy sketch, they were like walking bundles of joy.

Wang Fan held an egg in each hand, cracked them by the side of the pot, and with a flick of his thumb and ring finger, cracked the eggs open into the pot. Disposing of the shells, he took two more, cracked them the same way, and all four eggs fell into the oil pot.

The sauce for this dish could be prepared a bit ahead, but the eggs needed to be freshly fried, otherwise they would lose the crispy texture and retain a hint of eggy smell.
