"The second queue is full. Newcomers, please proceed to the third queue."
"The third queue starts here. Don't go to the wrong place or cut in line."
"You, I'm talking to you. Don't think I didn't see you before I came. You wanted to use teleportation, didn't you? Now that you've been caught, you'd better go to the very back."
"Don't throw a tantrum, or you'll be disqualified."
The next day, when Lu Wu arrived at his stall, he saw a crowd gathered there, and some people were using megaphones to guide the crowd.
The scene was packed with people.
Because it was still very dark, Lu Wu was swallowed up by the crowd after she arrived.
Are all these people here to eat her pancakes?
Lu Wu guessed.
Thinking about his preparations, Lu Wu felt that he would have to break his arm today.
She walked forward to her stall location when someone grabbed her arm.
"Hey new guy, I'm talking to you. How can you be so rude? Hurry up and get in line at the back. You only get one chance. If you cut in line again, I won't let you in."
He was a burly man, and his gaze toward Lu Wu was full of reproach.
"You don't recognize me?"
Lu Wu pointed to her face and asked in surprise.
She's the stall owner; if she doesn't go to the front, what will these people eat?
"I don't care who you are. Even if it's the King of Heaven himself, he has to wait in line. That's the rule."
"Go! Go! Go!"
The burly man had face blindness; he grabbed Lu Wu's arm and shoved her to the very back of the third queue.
Squeezed in the crowd, Lu Wu began to doubt herself.
Perhaps she's overthinking things, and this is some kind of fan meeting that has nothing to do with her, a small pancake stall owner.
But how could she keep hearing these people talking about her?
The mission must continue.
Lu Wu stepped out of the group and tried to walk forward again.
Unfortunately, there were too many people, and many were unconsciously crowding together.
The people around her didn't take a close look at Lu Wu's appearance. Perhaps they thought she was cutting in line, so they all tacitly excluded her.
...
In the end, Lu Wu didn't even make it to the end of the fifth queue.
The crowd formed a square formation, and Lu Wu, who was isolated on the outside, was getting anxious as time was running out.
They were supposed to be loyal customers, but I can't even recognize her face.
She's not that much of a nobody.
Lu Wu was extremely depressed.
Fortunately, some diners quickly noticed something was wrong.
"It's already this late, why hasn't Boss Lu arrived yet?"
"Boss Lu has never been late since he started his stall. Is something wrong?"
"Speaking of which, I saw Fellow Daoist Qin looking a bit flustered before stepping onto the arena yesterday. He must know something, right?"
"What should we do then?"
A bunch of people were speculating, and the speculations ranged from her accident to her death, with some even saying that she abandoned her customers and ran off with her sister-in-law. The speculations were getting more and more outrageous.
Why didn't anyone realize that she was being stopped from getting in by them?
"I'm here!"
With the sixth queue about to begin, she was still lingering on the periphery. Finally, Lu Wu, unable to bear it any longer, shouted.
Lu Wu's voice was hoarse.
Rubbing her sore throat, Lu Wu faced the many gazes.
Some people were genuinely shocked when they saw her.
"Boss Lu, when did you arrive? Why aren't you going in?"
Don't you know I won't go in?
Faced with the diners' changed attitude, Lu Wu decided to be magnanimous... what a joke.
"It was him, it was him, he wouldn't let me in."
Lu Wu pointed at the burly man and the diners and complained.
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the burly man, and some people had sinister expressions, as if they wanted to take action to vent their anger on Lu Wu.
But how could Lu Wu let such a thing happen?
"Please don't blame him, he meant well. He even pointed me in line, but he just didn't recognize me. Please don't be angry with him."
"Uncle, I see you're working so hard. The chaos here is all because of me. You can be the first to buy pancakes later."
Lu Wu spoke softly, her face beaming with a smile, clearly showing that she was considering the other person's feelings.
This is actually a case of praising someone to death!
This is blatant praise that could be detrimental!
Especially the diners who were now in the first line glared angrily at the big man.
We understand that you've worked hard, but I can't accept that Boss Lu handpicked you to be number one.
Let's start the war!
A barrage of hostile gazes shot over, and the burly man, who had been feeling annoyed, brightened up after hearing Lu Wu's instructions.
He leaned closer with a grin: "Boss Lu, is there a purchase limit today?"
He thought he was going to be disliked by Boss Lu, but then this good thing happened?
First!
He'll be the first to get to eat Boss Lu's pancakes today!
For a true follower of the "steamed bun" religion like him, this was not punishment, but the greatest honor.
As expected, the "Baozi Cult" and Boss Lu are always going in opposite directions.
He didn't care at all about worldly opinions; they were just some of the hardships he faced on his journey of eating pancakes.
Sprinkle some water!
At worst, he'll just take the pancake and run.
"The purchase limit remains at five pancakes per person."
Seeing the other person's genuine happiness, Lu Wuqing's mood brightened.
Her diners must be playing some kind of alphabet game, otherwise why would they be so happy?
Didn't you see the gazes of the other diners practically turning into knives, stabbing right into her? Sure enough, her diners are always different from ordinary people.
When we arrived at the location, the pancake stall took out the pancakes, and we heard a bunch of shouts.
The sound waves piled up and roared in succession.
"..."
There's really no need for that. She was just taking the stall out of her storage space; there's no need to make it sound like she did something earth-shattering and cheer like she did something extraordinary.
