The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Beans

Liu Yaozu was rendered speechless.

Shen Lu was right. Never mind the fact that his arm and leg were injured and he wasn’t fully able-bodied; even if he were perfectly healthy, it would be tough to find a job as easy as this.

Liu Yaozu pouted. "I was just saying. What’s with the temper?"

Liu Yaozu felt aggrieved. His attitude toward Shen Lu had been exceptionally good lately, yet she was still so harsh, shutting him down at every turn without a shred of respect for his pride.

A look of revulsion crossed Shen Lu’s face.

’Give me a break. You’re a grown man, don’t start whining at the slightest disagreement!’

’She wasn’t Yang Jing; she wouldn’t fall for that act.’

"It can’t be helped. I just can’t stand people who don’t take their work seriously and just want to slack off," Shen Lu said sternly. "This shop doesn’t carry loafers. If I find anyone deliberately slacking, they get one warning. Three strikes, and you’re fired for good."

Liu Yaozu let out a sullen "Oh."

As soon as Shen Lu was gone, Liu Yaozu started complaining to Liu Qiang. "Why didn’t you say anything? There are so many seeds left. How are we supposed to sort them all in two days?!"

Liu Qiang carefully shifted off the bed and poured a basin of seeds for his son. "Cut the crap. Didn’t you hear her? The shop doesn’t carry loafers. If we don’t do our jobs well, we’ll be fired."

"Fuck!"

Liu Yaozu really wanted to knock over the basin of seeds Liu Qiang had handed him.

But when he thought about the delicious meal he’d get at noon, he swallowed his pride and began the humiliating task of sorting seeds.

Liu Qiang also poured an iron basin of seeds for himself and started sorting them on the bed.

He’d only just realized it himself.

Staying here at Shen Lu’s place was actually a good thing.

He didn’t have to worry about finding a job, his son wasn’t out causing trouble anymore, and they had free housing. Apart from having to endure that girl’s temper, it wasn’t bad at all.

It was the first time in five years that Liu Yaozu had stayed home, stayed out of trouble, and actually did some serious work.

Liu Qiang felt that perhaps, with a little more time, he could get his son back on the straight and narrow.

So what if he had to put up with Shen Lu’s moods? For his son, it was worth it.

After breakfast, all the ingredients were delivered.

Everyone at the shop had arrived, and they all got busy in an orderly fashion.

Shen Lu turned on her Light Brain’s recording function and began filming today’s new menu item: Steamed Pork Ribs with Fermented Black Beans.

It was a dish with a light flavor, but one that was by no means bland.

The preparation method was relatively simple, so Shen Lu opted for a flashier filming style.

The only problem was that without her helper, Lin Zhou, filming was much more difficult.

"Can’t any of you make the pork ribs float in mid-air like Lin Zhou?" Shen Lu asked, looking at Wu Jun and Huo Qian with a bewildered expression, the disappointment in her voice barely concealed.

Wu Jun scratched his cheek. "Lin Zhou’s superpower is Control. Of course he can move things with his mind."

Huo Qian added, "I’m a Water Ability User. I can only control water. Sorry, Boss Shen, I can’t help."

"It’s fine..."

Unable to help, Huo Qian and Wu Jun left the kitchen, exchanging a look.

Wu Jun sighed. "I feel like Boss Shen is disappointed in us."

"What can you do?" Huo Qian shrugged. "It’s not our fault the superpowers we awakened aren’t the same as Lin Zhou’s."

Without Lin Zhou, some of the fancier shots were impossible. Shen Lu couldn’t be bothered to add special effects in post-production, so after a moment’s thought, she simply dragged over her go-to actor, Wang Daguo, to film a shot of him eating the ribs.

Since it was a promotional teaser for a new dish, Shen Lu decided to post it early so her followers could see it sooner.
