The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Meeting Shen Lan Again

The weather held up for four straight days.

Little Deer Cuisine was packed to the brim every day, its patrons more worried than Shen Lu about another severe sandstorm striking.

"Boss Shen, you should really think about moving. This spot is right in a wind corridor. When a sandstorm hits, the wind and sand are much worse here."

’Damn it, if this place gets blown away, where am I supposed to find food this good and cheap?’

"Rest assured, the restaurant will be perfectly fine. You’re the ones who need to be careful when you’re out and about."

’Are you kidding? The restaurant’s defense rating is already at 8. It can withstand attacks from Level 5 Superpower Users and above, and its defense against natural disasters is double that.’

’Even if a maelstrom passed through, her Little Deer Cuisine would remain standing.’

Shen Lu found a spare moment and sent another message to Li Zexing.

As she sent it, Shen Lu grumbled, "Is being a superstar such a big deal? I’ve been messaging him for five days straight, and he hasn’t replied even once. That brat... Don’t tell me he actually got blown away by the wind?"

Less than two minutes after she sent the message, Li Zexing actually replied!

Li Zexing: I’m filming at the Chenhai Building tomorrow afternoon at three. You can come visit the set.

Shen Lu: Alright, I’ll bring some tasty food for my visit.

Shen Lu immediately locked in the plan, afraid Li Zexing would change his mind.

Li Zexing crossed one leg over the other, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

The next day, Shen Lu headed to the Chenhai Building, bringing with her a newly perfected braised meat platter, one savory and one sweet pizza, and a cup of hot lemon black tea.

Shen Lu had previously drawn an Advanced Braised Meat recipe, but she had to shelve it because she couldn’t gather all the ingredients.

Now that the Mysterious Mall was unlocked, Shen Lu gathered all the ingredients and tried braising a batch.

The moment she lifted the lid, an extraordinary, rich aroma struck her like a physical blow, leaving her feeling light-headed.

It was intoxicatingly fragrant!

This was a scent that could touch the very depths of one’s soul!

Shen Lu instantly felt that the 200 reputation value she had painstakingly saved had been well worth spending!

That’s right. Both of those ingredients had been purchased at the steep price of 100 reputation value for 50 grams.

Over the past few days, Shen Lu had scraped together about 217 reputation value. After the purchase, she was left with only 17.

She had simply been curious and wanted to test out the recipe.

In that pot of braising liquid, Shen Lu had cooked a piece of pork belly, two pig’s trotters, several pounds of chicken and duck feet, as well as some duck gizzards, sausages, and other things.

After opening the pot, she couldn’t wait for it to cool down and began tasting everything one by one.

As expected of an Advanced recipe. It wasn’t just the aroma; the flavor itself was on a whole other level.

Shen Lu had no doubt that if she were to sell these braised meats, never mind the people from the Upper City District—even members of the Royal Family would bow their heads to take a bite.

’Unfortunately,’ she thought, ’there’s no way I’m selling these right now.’

’Each batch costs at least 200 reputation value to make. The cost is massive!’

Feeling the sting of the expense, Shen Lu painstakingly arranged a braised meat platter. Since it was a gift, it was only right to make it look exquisite.

’As for the quantity, though, she stingily packed just enough for one person. Hmph. It was only because Li Zexing had some star power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be getting a single bite of something this good.’

Fu Cheng had physical therapy at the hospital that afternoon, so Shen Lu asked Huo Qian to borrow a car from the Gale Mercenary Corps to drive her to the Chenhai Building.

To her surprise, it wasn’t just the car that showed up—Xue Can was there too.

"I happen to be free this afternoon. Get in, Boss Shen. I’ll give you a ride."

Though the wind and sand weren’t severe today, Xue Can drove slowly, prioritizing a steady and stable ride. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
