Chapter 41 Meat Grinder
6:30.
Liu Huanhuan and Qi Yali met at the entrance of the old residential area.
Qi Yali took out her phone and waved it at Chen Huanhuan.
"Words are no proof; let's take photos as evidence."
"I'd like to see who this uncle is."
Liu Huanhuan was too lazy to talk to her about this, so she dragged Qi Yali to join the queue.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or you won't be able to buy soy milk. There are only 200 cups available each day."
"Huh? This guy's using scarcity marketing."
"Hey, why are you talking so much? Let's go, let's go."
Liu Huanhuan arrived at the back of the long queue.
She craned her neck to look ahead, hesitating whether or not to join the queue.
But out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a large sign at the entrance.
There was nothing else written on it except for eight large characters.
Students have priority; no queuing required.
Liu Huanhuan felt a warmth in her heart; she hadn't expected Chen Yuanren to be so handsome and quick.
Yesterday, they verbally promised that students wouldn't need to queue, and today they put up a sign in such a prominent place with such large lettering.
At this moment, Qi Yali also saw the sign and pulled Liu Huanhuan forward.
"This old man is quite kind-hearted. We don't need to queue, so let's hurry up and move forward."
Qi Yali pulled Liu Huanhuan along and excitedly arrived at the front of the line.
She was initially nervous and curious, but when she reached the front, she was disappointed.
Chen Yuan wore a mask and a hat, completely covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that seemed to gaze affectionately at the dog.
Qi Yali tugged at Liu Huanhuan's sleeve.
Liu Huanhuan also looked a little disappointed.
Chen Yuan saw Liu Huanhuan, smiled, and his eyes curved down.
"Oh, it's you. What would you two like to eat today? Let me pack it for you."
While beauty is important, filling one's stomach is even more important.
Moreover, Liu Huanhuan had already seen Chen Yuan's true appearance, so she didn't hesitate and held up two fingers without saying a word.
"I'd like two fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk."
After saying that, Liu Huanhuan nudged Qi Yali next to her with her elbow.
What do you want?
"I...I want a steamed bun with pork and a cup of soy milk."
"Okay, coming right away."
Chen Yuan was quick and efficient, handing over the item in less than a minute.
After taking the items, the two of them, looking like they had done something wrong, quickly turned around and left.
After walking quite a distance, Liu Huanhuan sighed.
"It's such a pity that I didn't let you see what a truly handsome man looks like."
I thought Qi Yali would deny it to the death, but to my surprise, she said something thoughtfully while sipping her soy milk.
"Hmm...just looking at his eyes, he is indeed quite handsome, and he's very tall with great proportions. What should I do? I'm starting to believe you."
"Right?! Right?!"
"But I'm always just trying my luck, when will I ever see it? I'm really curious now, Huanhuan, do you have any ideas?"
"If that doesn't work, how about the weekend?"
Liu Huanhuan revealed a sly smile.
"He definitely won't wear a mask when he closes the shop on weekends, then we'll see him, won't we?"
"That's a good idea!"
"Come on, let's hurry to school. The Chinese teacher is supervising morning reading today. If we're late, he'll definitely find fault with us again!"
"Ah?! Then let's go quickly!"
7:30.
Chen Yuan's breakfast shop has closed down.
Ma Wenming's pancake stall also welcomed its first customer.
Although Ma Wenming initially had strong dissatisfaction with the act of picking up leftover food.
But later he found that it seemed pretty good.
As soon as Chen Yuan closes the door, the customers who come later, though disappointed, will still choose the pancake stall near the breakfast shop as their first choice in order to get a meal.
Ma Wenming's business also unexpectedly improved, even surpassing the level before his son's wedding by about 10%.
As Chen Yuan was about to leave with the child in his arms, Ma Wenming, unusually, greeted him.
This made Chen Yuan feel somewhat flattered.
After walking several steps, Chen Yuan spoke to Su Qingxue, who was standing to the side.
"What's up with you today? Business seems to be booming lately; you're being quite nice to me."
Su Qingxue said, "That's possible."
Just then, the system sounded.
[Congratulations, host, you have sold a total of 5000 fresh meat buns.]
[Reward: One meat grinder (basic, with upgrades available), which simulates the texture of hand-chopped meat to the greatest extent possible, increases meat juice retention by 10%, and produces a richer broth.]
[Reward: 1000 RMB cash, already deducted from rent.]
The meat grinder automatically installs at midnight.
Meat grinder.
This is a good thing.
I never expected the system to give me something so amazing.
These past few days, Chen Yuan has been getting up early every day to chop meat, and he feels like his arms have gotten thicker.
Although the body can automatically eliminate fatigue, chopping meat is very time-consuming.
Now that Chen Yuan has a meat grinder, things will be much easier.
Chen Yuan, along with his daughter and Su Qingxue, left the residential area and happened to pass by Chen's Steamed Bun Shop.
Chen Yuan hadn't paid any attention to it before.
Now, when passing by, Chen Yuan deliberately gets closer and takes a peek at the steamed bun shop as they brush past each other.
A pot of freshly steamed meat buns, steaming hot, was brought out.
The rich aroma of steamed buns spread out.
But at that very moment, Chen Yuan's nose suddenly caught a strange smell.
hiss……
Why does this meat bun taste so strange?
Although it was just a fleeting moment.
Zhao Dan's sharp eyes still caught Chen Yuan.
no way.
It would be difficult to avoid seeing Chen Yuan, especially since he was accompanied by Su Qingxue. The chance of not being discovered was practically zero.
Zhao Dan hurriedly tugged at Chen Hui's sleeve.
He pointed eagerly outside and said.
"Look at that kid outside, isn't that Chen, the one who sells steamed buns? He shares your last name, right?"
Chen Hui squinted at it for a while, then nodded heavily.
"Yes! It's him!"
During this period, Chen Hui truly hated Chen Yuan to the core.
Prices have been reduced for several days in a row.
Chen Hui shed a little blood, but it only had some effect on the first day. However, the response was still mediocre in the following days.
Even though business is a little better than before, it's only a little bit.
It was a far cry from what he had envisioned.
He didn't understand what the problem was.
Is it still not ruthless enough?
At this moment, Chen Hui's eyes lit up when he saw Grandpa Xu, who had come out for a stroll after finishing his meal, and he immediately called out to him.
"Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, these are freshly steamed meat buns, would you like a few?"
"Originally three yuan each, now half price, only 1.5 yuan!"
"You have a large family, so buying my steamed buns is perfect for you!"
Grandpa Xu, with his potbelly sticking out, let out a satisfied burp.
He had just walked towards Chen's Steamed Bun Shop.
A strong smell of steamed buns hit his nostrils.
Grandpa Xu couldn't resist.
"vomit--"
