The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Soup Dumplings

In Shen Lu’s mind, Fu Cheng was practically genderless. Especially after taking care of him for so long, was there any part of him she hadn’t seen?

So, a little physical contact while helping him felt completely normal to her.

After helping Fu Cheng sit up on the bed, Shen Lu didn’t need to get involved with the rest; he could handle it himself.

"You should get some rest." With that, Shen Lu turned and left, leaving behind a flustered Fu Cheng with bright red ears.

The cake layers were done baking. Shen Lu put on her oven mitts, took the cake out, and set it aside to cool.

She whipped the cream, filled a piping bag, and took out some fruit to chop, along with some candies and chocolates for decoration.

By then, the cake layers had cooled down enough.

Shen Lu sliced the cake horizontally into three layers. The first layer had crushed almond slivers, the second had a fruit filling. After frosting the cake, she covered the top with the remaining fruit, then decorated it with a few candies and chocolates. And just like that, a cake packed full of filling was complete.

Shen Lu was quite satisfied with the cake. It might not look perfect, but she knew it would taste amazing.

The oven DINGED again. The small cookies Shen Lu had been making were ready.

Shen Lu put on her oven mitts, took out the baking sheet, and placed it on the counter to cool naturally.

By the time she finished, it was ten o’clock at night. Shen Lu yawned, feeling a little sleepy.

Normally, she would have already been in bed by this time.

After putting away the cookies and the cake, Shen Lu checked the water, electricity, and gas in the kitchen. Once she confirmed everything was in order, she went to check on the employee dorms.

Xue Can had been standing on the balcony, but he turned around when he sensed Shen Lu’s presence.

"How is he?" Shen Lu asked.

"He’s doing okay. He should wake up by tomorrow morning."

"That’s good." Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

’Xiao Lang is important to Cai Su, and Cai Su is very important to her.’

’Cai Su is like the head manager of the shop. With her around, Shen Lu always feels at ease.’

"Thank you for your hard work tonight," Shen Lu said to him. "Mr. Xue, what would you like for breakfast tomorrow? I can prepare it."

’She truly wanted to thank Xue Can properly, and it seemed the only way she knew how was to feed him well.’

"I’m not a picky eater," Xue Can said softly. "Anything Boss Shen makes will be fine."

Shen Lu blinked. "Alright, then."

’Since he put it that way, she couldn’t exactly slack off. Looked like she’d have to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow.’

’But with Little Mantis helping, it wouldn’t be too tiring.’

Shen Lu went back to the second floor to wash up. She was too lazy to even tally the day’s revenue, so she just quickly did the lottery draw, gave Little Mantis its instructions, and went to bed.

Today’s draw yielded 1000 popularity value points. Shen Lu just threw in the towel.

’Forget it, forget it. I should just keep my expectations in check. Otherwise, the bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment. If I’m disappointed once every day, I’m going to lose my mind.’

’Besides, the food from the lunch service no longer has the effect of healing and soothing the Spiritual Sea anyway. Not many Superpower Users know about this yet, and word hasn’t spread for now, so she’s still quite safe.’

’When will those people from the Commerce Association finally stop targeting me?’

Though her mind was racing with thoughts, Shen Lu quickly drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Shen Lu woke up and didn’t linger in bed. She ruffled her messy hair and got up.

While brushing her teeth, she opened her Light Brain to take a look.

Bai Wanwan was arriving in the Imperial City at noon today and had excitedly asked to meet up tomorrow.

Shen Lu replied with an "Okay" and asked for a specific time and place.
