The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The First Pitch for the Braised Pork Belly Set Meal Failed?

Shen Lu rubbed her eyes, thinking she must have misread. ’What could I possibly need Bai Wanwan’s help with?’

Shen Lu: If you wanted to eat, why didn’t you come yesterday?

Bai Wanwan: [eye_roll.jpg]

Bai Wanwan: Not to mention all the people, there were even influencers livestreaming. Do you think I don’t care about my image?

Bai Wanwan and Bai Lei had actually come yesterday.

The two of them arrived a bit late, right as the business regulators showed up to check for a license.

Bai Wanwan had even nudged her brother, telling him to go out and handle the situation.

"Xue Can definitely can’t handle this. Go on, little bro, it’s your time to shine."

Bai Lei remained perfectly composed. "No rush. Even if a hero is going to make an entrance, it has to be at the moment of greatest crisis. That’s how you maximize the favorability boost."

Bai Wanwan gave him a thumbs-up. "Nice, little brother. I’m starting to see you have the makings of a Family Head."

The two siblings waited for Shen Lu to be unable to handle the situation so they could make their grand entrance. Instead, they watched as Shen Lu pulled out a permit issued by the main bureau and sent the regulators away.

Bai Lei: ...

Bai Wanwan: ...

Then Shen Lan started causing trouble, but again, before the two could step in, Shen Lu resolved the matter herself.

It felt like they had waited for nothing.

Watching the crayfish competition contestants eat until their faces were flushed and necks were straining, Bai Lei’s mouth watered. He almost couldn’t resist signing up himself.

But Bai Wanwan grabbed him and held him back.

"Believe it or not, the second you appear on camera, videos of the Bai Family’s second young master eating crayfish in the Lower City District will be all over our social circle by tonight."

Bai Lei wrung his hands in frustration. "Why can’t Shen Lu just cooperate with me and open a shop in the Upper City District? Why does she insist on opening one in the Lower City District?"

Forced to only watch and not eat, the two siblings returned home full of regret.

Bai Wanwan had sent Shen Lu quite a few messages, repeatedly asking her to save some crayfish that she would buy at a high price.

Unfortunately, Shen Lu was incredibly busy and had muted her notifications. Even when she had free time later, she never got around to opening them.

Unaware that the Bai Family Siblings had come and gone in secret, Shen Lu replied in a flat tone, "Well, nothing to be done about it then," intending to end the conversation.

Bai Wanwan: What do you mean, nothing to be done about it?

Shen Lu: The crayfish are all gone. There are no more.

The crayfish cultivated by the Imperial City’s seafood merchants weren’t as high-quality as the ones from the system, so Shen Lu had no plans to buy any. Nor did she intend to recreate the braised crayfish anytime soon. If Bai Wanwan wanted to eat, she’d either have to order from the menu in the restaurant or wait for Shen Lu to host another crayfish competition someday.

Shen Lu tapped her finger, preparing to mute Bai Wanwan’s messages. ’This young lady sends eight hundred messages a day. It’s really too much.’

Bai Wanwan: You really...!

Bai Wanwan: Forget it, forget it. I won’t stoop to your level.

Bai Wanwan: You haven’t forgotten about Shen Lan’s birthday party tonight, have you?

Bai Wanwan: Come over to my place this afternoon. I’ll find a suitable dress for you and do your makeup.

Shen Lu paused. ’Oh, if Bai Wanwan hadn’t mentioned it, I really would have forgotten.’

’But how did Bai Wanwan know I was going to Shen Lan’s birthday party?’

Shen Lu: You knew I was going?
