A group of fishern approached Jiang Feng’s food truck, the hunger in their eyes palpable.
Jiang Feng looked at these custors. He t their eyes and knew: these were his people.
"Boss, you ca just in ti! I was so hungry I was about to start eating fish bait!"
"Hurry and give one!"
"I want a rice combo set with fish-flavored shredded pork!"
"I’ll have a rice combo set with stir-fried pork and wood ear mushrooms!"
The fishern lined up, clamoring for their orders.
Jiang Feng courteously attended to each one.
Scan the code, pay, grab a boxed al.
The boxed als were selling incredibly fast. These people hadn’t expected such a small stall to appear right beside Moon River. It was truly a godsend.
One particularly famished man opened his al on the spot and started eating. The steaming hot boxed al nearly moved him to tears. His rice combo set contained fish-flavored shredded pork. With each bite, the flavor was so exquisite he felt he could swallow his own tongue. The shredded pork was coated in a thick, delicious sauce. He used his chopsticks to spread so sauce onto his rice, dyeing it an enticing, rich color. Another mouthful of rice, and the feeling was incredibly satisfying.
Others saw how he was eating, their mouths watering as they swallowed hard with envy.
"Boss, give three rice combo sets!"
"I want four rice combo sets!"
"Boss, you’re a lifesaver! We’ve been fishing here most of the day and were starving, wondering what we were going to do for food, and then you showed up!"
People lined up in front of Jiang Feng’s food truck, shouting their orders.
The feeling of hunger was awful: a cold, empty ache in the stomach. It was bearable if you could focus on sothing else, but torture when all your attention was on your stomach. It was truly uncomfortable.
Many were hungry, and then Jiang Feng had appeared, right on ti.
Jiang Feng hadn’t expected such enthusiasm. He smiled warmly, scanned a QR code, and handed over a boxed al. Business was very good.
So fishern were still by the river, too far away to see the food truck.
"Is soone really selling boxed als here?"
"Can boxed als even be good? Setting up a stall here, it must be really expensive."
"Just talking about it is making hungry."
"It’s almost alti, how could we not be hungry?"
Many stood up, looking towards the food truck. They could only see people heading in that direction.
"Let’s go buy so too. With so many people buying, they might sell out."
"True, a small stall can only carry so much food. It might all be gone."
A few discussed it amongst themselves. One stayed to watch the fishing rods while the other two hurried off to buy boxed als. They practically ran.
It was understandable. Many had been fishing for a long ti; it would be terrible to miss out on the boxed als and go hungry. Although they had brought so snacks, snacks were nothing compared to a hot, steaming boxed al.
Jiang Feng was pleased to see this. Though everyone was enthusiastic, it wasn’t quite like the long lines his stall used to attract. Plus, the boxed als sold quickly; the process was a breeze: scan, pay, and grab a al, all in one smooth motion.
Many had already started eating Jiang Feng’s boxed als. Their initial thought was just to fill their stomachs. But one bite was all it took. They were instantly revitalized, their expressions brightening.
"Man, this boxed al is really tasty!"
"Not bad at all, and so fragrant!"
"It’s amazing! This boxed al is the bomb!"
"This food is so delicious! What if we use so leftover rice as groundbait?"
"The rice grains are so big, can the fish even eat them? We’d better eat it ourselves."
People chattered amongst themselves.
Others carried their boxed als back to the riverbank, handing them to their companions, who couldn’t wait to dig in.
The mont the lid was opened, the aroma of rice mixed with the savory scent of the dishes wafted out. The sll was incredibly tempting; it was intoxicating and seed to bore straight into their empty stomachs. Their stomachs, quiet monts before, growled with hunger at the scent.
They started wolfing down the rice. Once they began eating, they couldn’t stop, completely engrossed and with no ti for conversation until every last bit of rice and food in their al boxes was gone.
They took a sip of water and let out a deep sigh.
"This rice combo set is absolutely to die for! Plus, at only 18 yuan per set, it’s so affordable!"
"It’s been a long ti since I’ve found such a tasty stall! The boxed als are made so well!"
"We really lucked out finding this!"
Fishern usually focused on fishing-related information, not so much on gourt food. So, even with around fifty or sixty people buying food, no one recognized Jiang Feng. Everyone just thought it was a delicious little stall and couldn’t stop praising its boxed als. It was delicious and affordable, offering great value. Even restaurant als didn’t always reach this level of quality.
In the Moon River Fishing Tycoons group chat, praises flowed continuously.
"The stall Old He recomnded is truly incredible; the taste is amazing!"
"The price is cheap too, only 18 yuan per set!"
"I’m so satisfied! If only he ca every day!"
"It’s genuinely delicious. This stir-fried pork with wood ear mushrooms is even better than what the restaurant downstairs from my apartnt makes!"
The chat group was buzzing with ssages.
So who hadn’t been hungry initially and hadn’t bought a boxed al started to get curious seeing the ssages.
Is it really that tasty?
Why is everyone praising it so much?
I have to try it too!
And so, a few more people ran over to Jiang Feng’s food truck to buy a rice combo set.
The people who ca to fish by Moon River were a diverse crowd. So might look unassuming, but you’d never know how wealthy they actually were. There were plenty of rich tycoons among them.
After seeing the ssages in the group, a few wealthy individuals thought to themselves, Is the rice combo set really that good? And it’s less than 20 yuan. It’s probably just at the level of a construction site boxed al.
They ca here to fish when they had nothing else to do, as the fishing environnt was even better than at professional fishing grounds. And there really were a lot of fish. Although this bend in the river was crowded with anglers, Moon River’s upstream and downstream stretches were long, with a large reservoir further down teeming with countless fish. There was no fear of fishing all the fish out.
Jiang Feng, on the other hand, was happy. Business was booming. In a short while, he had already sold over seventy boxes, and people were still driving over continuously. After seeing the ssages in the chat group, anyone passing Jiang Feng’s food truck would invariably buy a set.
Before long, soone finally recognized Jiang Feng. As he drove by and saw Jiang Feng’s food truck, it looked familiar. He stopped his car, took a closer look, and exclaid inwardly, Holy crap, isn’t that Executive Chef Jiang?He often sets up his stall in different locations, attracting countless people who line up for his food. I can’t believe he’s at Moon River this ti!
He imdiately took a photo and posted it in the "Moon River Fishing Tycoons Group."
"This guy is Executive Chef Jiang, the super popular vendor who sets up his stall randomly!"
"His food is exceptionally delicious!"
"There are always huge lines for his food, and there are tons of videos of him online!"
"If he’s here, the food must be good!"
"Anything he makes is bound to be delicious!"
Seeing these ssages, many people belatedly realized who he was.
"Damn, it’s him! I rember now!"
"The super popular stall owner? No wonder he’s so popular! The food’s cheap, delicious, and seems very clean!"
"So it was him!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
At that mont, the angler who recognized Jiang Feng had another thought and sent a ssage in the group:
"Everyone, don’t share the news that Executive Chef Jiang is setting up his stall here online, and don’t post any videos."
"We don’t want others to see!"
"He has tons of regular custors. If they all co here, we anglers won’t be able to buy any."
"You genuinely wouldn’t even be able to fight your way to the front to buy one!"
Seeing this, the fishing folks in the chat group quickly agreed.
"Let’s keep this news to ourselves, just internal consumption."
"Having rice combo sets to eat will make fishing here even more enjoyable."
"I definitely won’t say a word."
ssages flew around the chat group. Jiang Feng had only just set up his stall, but he had already caused quite a stir in the fishing group.
Jiang Feng was oblivious to these ssages, simply running his rice combo set stall. The crowd was enthusiastic, with people constantly coming to buy sets, often three or five boxes at a ti.
Of the three hundred or so rice combo sets he had prepared, all were sold out by around one in the afternoon.
Jiang Feng saved one box for himself and one for Little Black.
The system task was already complete. And today’s bonus reward surprised him.
[Guests Served: 268/100. Daily Task: Complete.]
The actual number of individual custors was just over two hundred because many people ate two portions, or bought an extra one they hadn’t eaten yet, saving it for dinner.
[Bonus Reward Received: Skill – Fishing Master.]
This ti, the reward was a skill. In addition to his culinary skills and knife skills for hand-shaved noodles, Jiang Feng had now acquired a fishing skill.
Fishing? I’ve never fished before. How did I get a reward like this? he thought. But it’s not bad. Perfect. I’m free this afternoon. Taking Little Black for a walk by the river would be nice. Just to enjoy the scenery.
A short walk back down the road, there was a fishing gear shop. Gazing at the flowing waters of Moon River, Jiang Feng wanted to try out his newly acquired skill. So, he went to the fishing gear shop and bought a complete set of fishing equipnt.
If he could catch a big fish, he had at least dozens of cooking thods in mind to "prepare" it—or, as he thought of it, to "liberate" the fish and send it to its "next life."
