The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Four People, Two Set Meals?

The dining table fell silent. Little Bei cleared his throat. "The boss brought us here. Isn’t his intention obvious? If you want to eat here, then come. Just be sure to follow their rules."

"Shen Lu isn’t as simple as you think. That’s all I’m going to say." Xue Can stood up. "This meal isn’t on the company tab. Everyone pays for their own."

With that, Xue Can went to the counter to pay.

Little Bei didn’t rush to follow him. Instead, he turned to the other members, who all wore varying expressions. "You all know what the boss is like. If he was going to make a move, he would have done it long ago. I suggest you drop those improper ideas."

The Gale Mercenary Corps wasn’t as harmonious as it appeared on the outside. They were all capable individuals, and there were always those who wanted to climb to the top.

However, as long as it wasn’t a matter of principle, Xue Can generally turned a blind eye.

The remaining men exchanged glances, then got up one by one to pay.

The last few to leave exchanged a look and started complaining in their private group chat.

Liu Wei: Xue Can must have known all along that the food this broad makes can soothe the Spiritual Sea. He hid it from us for so long, and only now he tells us. Heh.

Jiang Hua: If this broad really had connections, she wouldn’t have opened her shop in the Lower City District. The Upper City District has way more Superpower Users, and besides, have you noticed? Almost everyone who eats here is a regular person.

Jin San: Ye Fan and his partner only signed a one-month contract, right? Once that’s up, we can do whatever we want.

Jiang Hua: True.

Liu Wei: Agreed. Let’s just wait a bit.

When it was his turn to pay, Shen Lu asked out of habit, "How was everything? Feel free to let me know if there was anything you weren’t happy with."

Xue Can: "Everything was delicious."

Little Bei chuckled. "It really was good. I just feel like I’m not quite full."

Shen Lu beamed. "Is that right? I’ll keep that in mind."

’Shen Lu was just collecting feedback; she had no intention of actually making any changes.’

Shen Lu knew her purchase limits were a bit off-putting for some, but her set meal portions were generous. A normal adult could definitely eat their fill.

The members of the Gale Mercenary Corps were Superpower Users, and their appetites seemed to be larger than those of regular people. She’d already noticed this with Ye Fan and Lin Zhou.

But Shen Lu had no plans to increase the portions. First, she wanted to avoid waste. Second, not many Superpower Users ate at her restaurant anyway. Besides, Superpower Users had money; if one set meal wasn’t enough, they could always order some braised snacks or malatang.

After seeing the Gale Mercenary Corps off, Shen Lu checked the progress of her daily task. She had already sold 91 Braised Pork Belly sets and 40 Kung Pao Chicken sets.

’Looks like I can complete the task by the end of the lunch rush.’

Shen Lu compared the customer traffic with the same period over the last two days. She had been keeping simple records, and the trend was clear at a glance.

"’Not bad,’ Shen Lu thought, satisfied. ’The number of customers is steadily increasing.’"

Boss Cao had basically poached her low-end customers. The people coming to her restaurant now were from the middle class of the Lower City District and up. There weren’t as many of them as before, but their spending power was greater. As a result, Shen Lu was actually earning more than before, and she wasn’t as exhausted.

’I wonder how Boss Cao’s business is doing now,’ Shen Lu thought. ’It must still be pretty good.’

Meanwhile, Boss Cao was sweating bullets as he cooked noodles. A slotted spoon and chopsticks danced in the boiling water as he worked at top speed.

But the waiting customers were still getting impatient, constantly rushing him.

"Can’t you go any faster, boss? I’ve been waiting for half an hour. I’m starving!"

"Boss, can’t you offer more toppings? It’s pickled vegetable topping every day. I’m sick of it."

"Yeah, why don’t you learn a thing or two from Boss Shen? Make something like that cold radish skin salad. I’d even pay an extra 10 Star Coins for it."
