The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: A Major Problem

It was a customer who had been to Fragrant Sky.

Shen Lu glanced at the dense crowd of people behind her and called Wang Daguo over to help handle the check-in lottery.

Shen Lu had failed to gather any intel yesterday. Now that she had caught a customer who had been to Fragrant Sky, she wanted to ask a few questions.

"Hey, handsome. It’s been a while since you’ve eaten here. I remember you used to come every day," Shen Lu said with a smile, trying to get friendly.

The customer chuckled. "Boss, you actually remember me? No way. Thousands of people come and go every day."

"I do, of course I do. Your favorite is the braised pork belly combo, right?"

"Whoa, you really do remember!" The customer scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. "I really do love the braised pork belly here. It’s delicious and so satisfying!"

It wasn’t that other restaurants didn’t have braised pork belly, but none of them tasted as good as Little Deer Cuisine’s. Plus, the portions were generous, making it the best value for money.

Shen Lu’s lips twitched into a smile. She was actually just making it all up. She only found the customer vaguely familiar and had no idea which combo he liked.

However, the customer had a potbelly and was quite heavyset. Generally, people like him tended to enjoy greasy food.

Among the available combos, the braised pork belly was the greasiest. Shen Lu decided to take a gamble, and unexpectedly, she’d guessed right.

"We’re honored to have earned your favor," Shen Lu said politely. "By the way, were you eating at Fragrant Sky before?"

The customer looked a little awkward. "Uh... well, they were having a huge sale, so I just went to check out the excitement."

"No need to be embarrassed. We’re open for business, but we never force customers to eat here. It’s perfectly normal to get tired of our food and go try new flavors elsewhere."

"Exactly!" The customer’s furrowed brow instantly relaxed. "I was just trying Fragrant Sky for fun. When it comes to my favorite, it’s still your place."

"I heard Fragrant Sky is back to their original prices now?"

"Yeah, they’re back to the original prices, and they don’t even have the lottery anymore."

"Is that so?"

"That’s right."

Shen Lu paused for a moment, then quickly swiped the customer’s card. "Hey handsome, your previous ten check-ins have been cleared. If you want another chance at the lottery, please keep supporting Little Deer Cuisine!"

"Okay, okay, I’ll be back tomorrow." The customer put his card away. "But when is your restaurant going to start serving dinner?"

"It should be soon. We’re working on it."

...

[Ding! Detected sales: Braised Pork Belly Combo 820/820, Kung Pao Chicken Combo 720/720, Steamed Fish Head with Diced Chili Combo 380/380. Total revenue has reached 180,000 Star Coins, and customer satisfaction is three stars or higher. Mission complete. Reward: one Lottery Ticket.]

Hearing the mission completion notification, Shen Lu finished swiping the card in her hand, said a word to Wang Daguo, and walked out from behind the counter.

She checked the time. It wasn’t even 2:30 PM.

Probably because Fragrant Sky was no longer offering discounts and lotteries, many customers had returned. Although the mission quota was large, they’d finished earlier than yesterday.

Shen Lu sent a message to Xue Can, asking if they could leave early.

Xue Can: Yes. I’ll be there right away.

Shen Lu went upstairs again to tell Fu Cheng it was time to go.

When Xue Can pulled up to Little Deer Cuisine on his motorcycle, the first thing he saw was Fu Cheng beside Shen Lu.

The corner of Xue Can’s mouth twitched up. After parking his bike, he walked toward Shen Lu.

’So what if they’re fiancés?’

’He can only watch as she leaves. The one protecting her is still me, Xue Can.’

"The sandstorm is a bit strong today. It’ll be better if you wear a helmet." Xue Can handed her a helmet. "Do you know how to put it on? Want me to help you?"

"No need. It’s just a helmet, what’s so hard about it?" Shen Lu waved her hand dismissively. "By the way, Fu Cheng is coming with me. Do you have another helmet? Get one for him."

Xue Can froze. "Him? He’s coming with us?"
