Two city managent officers parked their city managent truck by the roadside.
"Where’s the rice combo set around here? Qian Bing couldn’t have tricked us!" one of the officers complained.
"Keep looking. Didn’t he say it was around the southeast corner? If we circle around, we’ll definitely find it!" the other officer said.
"Or should we just buy so stead buns?"
"No, Qian Bing didn’t seem to be lying!"
The city managent truck slowly moved forward.
"Do you sll sothing delicious?" At this mont, one of the officers took a sniff and spoke up.
"There is a bit of a scent. I thought I was hallucinating because I’m so hungry," the other replied.
As they marveled, they suddenly saw a crowd of people lining up in a clearing ahead, with stalls selling pancakes and candied haws nearby.
"That’s it!"
"Let’s go, over there!"
Both officers’ eyes lit up, and they imdiately drove over. After parking the truck, they finally joined the back of the line.
The pancake vendor and the candied haw vendor had been having a lively chat. Seeing the city managent officers approaching, they suddenly fell silent. It couldn’t be helped; no stallholder ever saw city managent officers without feeling afraid. Except for Jiang Feng, who didn’t fear them and even did business with them. Who could surpass him!
At this mont, Jiang Feng had just finished stir-frying a wok of fish-flavored shredded pork. He looked up at the long queue, eting pairs of hungry, eager eyes, and couldn’t help but sigh. How are there still so many people?! I only wanted to sell 200 servings! You’re forcing to overwork, huh!
The custors ate with great satisfaction.
The two city managent officers couldn’t stop praising the rice combo set prepared by Jiang Feng. They discussed it among themselves, planning to recomnd it to their colleagues who were on duty the next day. We’ll eat here from now on!
Other stalls were chased away by city managent officers. Jiang Feng’s stall, however, had city managent officers running to it, eager to be custors.
Around 3:00 p.m., the ingredients Jiang Feng had prepared were finally all sold out.
"No more, no more, all sold out! Sold out!" he shouted to the custors still lining up. "Out of at! Co again tomorrow!"
Joy mixed with his voice. Finally sold out! My spatula hasn’t stopped moving!
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the faces of the queued foodies stiffened. "Sold out?" one muttered. "This early? It’s only 3:00 p.m., and you’re saying the rice combo sets are gone?"
"Boss, wait a mont!" Just then, a bespectacled custor from the back of the queue stepped forward, a plastic bag in his hand. Upon closer inspection, the plastic bag surprisingly contained top-quality pork loin!
Jiang Feng was a bit stunned. What’s going on?
"Boss, go ahead and cook. I bought the at especially," the man said. "This is enough for ten servings of fish-flavored shredded pork. I want a fish-flavored shredded pork rice combo set."
Seeing the man had brought at, the surrounding custors got excited.
"I want one too! Sell so of your at!"
"You’re so smart! Why didn’t I think of that?"
"Here, let’s chip in for the at together!"
"Buddy, how much is the at? There are exactly ten of us; let’s split it evenly!"
The custors still in line imdiately gathered around.
Jiang Feng’s mouth twitched. Aren’t I being forced to work overti now?
After the ten custors agreed among themselves, the bespectacled man who bought the at walked up and placed the pork loin on Jiang Feng’s food truck, saying with a smile, "Boss, don’t worry about running out of ingredients; I’ve got you covered!"
Jiang Feng managed a smile. Listen to that! Is he even serious? Would I be afraid of running out of ingredients? I wish the ingredients would run out faster! Thanks a lot! Business being too good can be a bit overwhelming.
"Fine," Jiang Feng said. "Since you’ve provided the at, each serving will be 15. The at needs to be processed, so please wait a mont."
At this point, Jiang Feng could only resign himself to fate. The custors happily paid and waited to the side.
Jiang Feng put on gloves and started to process the pork loin. His knife skills were excellent; he placed the pork loin on the cutting board and smoothly sliced it into strips. Then he put the at strips in a bowl, adding salt, pepper powder, and Sichuan pepper wine to remove any gay taste. Next, he coated it with a mixture of egg white and starch. Finally, he sealed it with a bit of oil.
The at was marinating in the bowl while the other ingredients were already prepared. When the at was sufficiently marinated, he could heat oil in the wok and stir-fry two big woks of fish-flavored shredded pork—just enough for ten rice combo sets.
Soon, the steaming hot fish-flavored shredded pork was ready. Jiang Feng arranged the plates, ladled out rice, and spooned the shredded pork directly on top, successfully making the rice combo sets.
There was just a little rice left. Jiang Feng thought that in the future, he would just say the rice was all gone. Surely no custor would bring their own rice. Today’s custors actually brought their own ingredients! Unbelievable!
After finishing the last ten orders, Jiang Feng rested in the food truck. Little Black climbed up the steps and ran to Jiang Feng’s feet, wagging its little tail and acting cute. Jiang Feng naturally patted its little head.
The custors nearby were eating happily. The aroma of the fish-flavored shredded pork made them lavish it with praise. After eating, they felt nothing but satisfaction.
The day’s business was finally over. Jiang Feng packed up his stall and, driving his food truck minibus, slowly left the corner of the park.
[Satisfied custor count: 330/200, today’s mission completed.]
[Received additional reward: Spicy Fish Head Recipe.]
Today’s mission was once again completed, and the system awarded another food recipe. This ti, the reward was for a representative Hunan dish, Spicy Fish Head.
The key to a good Spicy Fish Head was how to remove the fishy sll. A good Spicy Fish Head had no hint of fishiness, was covered with heaps of red chili, was tasty, and went great with rice. You could even mix the sauce directly with rice.
It’s actually Spicy Fish Head. Making it into a rice combo set would be a bit costly. But I could try making a premium Spicy Fish Head rice combo set; it’s okay if it’s a bit more expensive, Jiang Feng calculated in his mind.
He was still too responsible. Love what you do, do what you love. Although Jiang Feng was a laid-back person, he still tried his best to do a good job within his responsibilities.
Soon, Jiang Feng drove the food truck back to his small shop, parked it in the yard, and tidied up.
"Little Black, co, let’s eat," Jiang Feng called out.
"WOOF!" Little Black responded happily, wagging its tail, following Jiang Feng as they walked towards the dilapidated apartnt building.
「anwhile, at the city managent office.」
The city managent officer who had been on duty returned. As soon as he got back to the office, he started chatting with other officers who hadn’t been on duty.
"The rice combo set Qian Bing recomnded was really good! It tasted great, and there was a huge line there at noon!"
Hearing this, the others beca curious.
"Really? A street vendor selling rice combo sets is that popular?"
"Try it out tomorrow and you’ll know. It really made my day today!" the on-duty officer added.
"Okay, I’m on duty over there tomorrow. I’ll give it a try."
Jiang Feng had no idea that his little stall had caught the attention of the city managent officers. It wasn’t just the officers; residents around Hongshan Park and employees from nearby companies were all talking about it.
Food is the first necessity of the people. What the common folk are most concerned about is their daily als. If a particularly delicious restaurant appears sowhere, people will inevitably spread the word. There are many good restaurants, but truly delicious ones that leave people utterly satisfied are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Word of mouth spread from one to ten, and then from ten to a hundred. More and more people learned that there was a young man making exceptional rice combo sets in a corner of Hongshan Park. The taste was said to be unparalleled!
Consequently, many people planned to go and taste it for themselves.
Jiang Feng’s little stall was about to get popular again!
