The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Chapter 334: The Host Can Make a Wish, but We Won’t Necessarily Fulfill It

Shen Lu was a bit stunned by Sang Yue’s accusation.

’Wait, what right does she have to criticize me?’

Sang Yue seemed to realize her tone was off. She bit her lip and softened her voice, "I don’t mean to blame you, Boss Shen. I just mean their situation would be better handled at a hospital."

"I understand your desire to help, Miss Sang, but things aren’t as serious as you think."

In the car, Shen Lu had already asked Deng Ying if she wanted to go to the hospital. Deng Ying had shaken her head, saying it wasn’t necessary.

"The shop has medicine that can treat my sister and me."

It wasn’t that Deng Ying wanted to take advantage of the shop, but going to the hospital in this weather was too much of a hassle.

The wound on her forehead looked a little scary, but it was just a superficial injury. Her sister had a cold from the wind that had gotten this bad only because she hadn’t taken any medicine for it.

The shop’s first-aid kit was well-stocked with common medicines, more than enough to treat them.

Shen Lu found some cold medicine, gave it to Deng Xuan with some water, and then had the two sisters rest in the dormitory that Xin Yu had previously stayed in.

It dawned on Sang Yue a moment later. "They’re your employees?"

"Deng Ying is. Her sister isn’t."

Shen Lu pointed to Wang Daguo and Xin Yu. "This is Wang Daguo, his position is pretty flexible. And this is Xin Yu, a kitchen apprentice who is currently focused on pizza. There’s also Sister Meng, but she’s not coming in today because of the bad weather."

Sang Yue greeted them one by one, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Shen Lu. "Boss Shen, what will I be doing today?"

Shen Lu stared at her seriously for a few seconds, then smiled. "Miss Sang, you haven’t fully recovered yet, so I won’t assign you any tasks. For now, just get familiar with the shop’s environment."

Shen Lu explained to Sang Yue which areas she could go to and which she couldn’t.

Sang Yue felt a little uncomfortable, ’thinking that Shen Lu was treating her like an outsider.’

Shen Lu couldn’t care less whether she was comfortable or not. ’Even if she’s the protagonist, she can’t get in the way of me making money.’

Pizza wasn’t on the mini-program menu today, so Xin Yu returned to his previous post, assisting Cai Su with washing vegetables and other prep work.

Shen Lu only put two set meals on the mini-program: the shop’s signature braised pork set meal, and a steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce set meal.

Braised snacks, malatang, and mint water were also available. A single ID could purchase a maximum of 1,000 Star Coins worth of goods.

A purchase limit was necessary, but it was much more lenient compared to the dine-in rules.

With Shu Meng absent, all the stir-frying fell on Shen Lu and Little Mantis. However, it was only the braised pork and four vegetable dishes that needed stir-frying. The pork ribs went into the steamer, which was quite convenient.

[DING! Birthday Bonus Mission issued: Obtain 520 three-star reviews. Time limit: four hours.]

As she methodically seared the pieces of pork, Shen Lu casually asked the system, ’Since this is a birthday bonus mission, does that mean I can make a wish for the reward?’

[The Host may make a wish, but we do not guarantee its fulfillment.]

Shen Lu mentally shrugged.

Shen Lu said, "You guys really aren’t cute at all."

Once all the set meals from the orders were prepared, Shen Lu packaged them according to the addresses. The delivery duty fell to Wang Daguo and Xin Yu, who had volunteered about a hundred times.

"Boss, after I finish the deliveries, I’ll just head straight home," Xin Yu said softly before getting in the vehicle, scratching the back of his head. "Given Deng Ying and her sister’s situation, it’s better for them to stay at the shop."

Shen Lu thought about it and agreed. It wouldn’t be right to make the Deng sisters stay with Cai Su and her son, or with Sang Yue.

"You can go home, but if the weather is still like this tomorrow, don’t risk coming to work."

Xin Yu had been incredibly lucky again today, running into Wang Daguo just before he was about to be blown away by the wind.

Shen Lu genuinely felt that Xin Yu didn’t need to be this dedicated. There was no need to test his luck every day. What if his luck soured one day?

Xin Yu chuckled. "Well, if you’re going to pick up ingredients tomorrow, Boss, you could just swing by and get me, right?"

’Then, he, Xin Yu, would be living the high-class life of being chauffeured to and from work. How wonderful.’
