Upon hearing Shi Yi's words, the disappointed diners who hadn't been able to buy a boxed meal felt a glimmer of hope.
That means they'll still be selling boxed lunches in the afternoon, right here!
The group faced each other.
"There will be boxed lunches this afternoon! How about we stay here and keep watch instead of going anywhere else this afternoon?"
"Great, I think we should stay here too. These diners are crazy. If we don't wait here, we probably won't get to eat this afternoon."
"They're eating so deliciously! I'm so hungry, I really want to eat some this afternoon!"
"Then it's settled. We'll go for a walk around the neighborhood first, and then come back at three o'clock. I'm worried they might come early like they did this morning, so just in case, we'll come a little earlier."
...
At 6 p.m. sharp, Shi Yi appeared at Zhigu Square.
There were more people in the square in the afternoon than at noon today.
The atmosphere became lively again as soon as the diners saw her.
"Here he comes, Boss Shi is here."
"They've finally arrived! I've been waiting for ages!"
"There really is another show this afternoon. I'm so glad I came, or I would have missed it."
"Can you please stop taking what we had for lunch? Many of us haven't had it yet."
"So what? Did you think I could eat it or not? Boss Shi didn't say I couldn't. Besides, the boxed lunch is so delicious, I could eat several servings and still not have enough."
Seeing that they were getting impatient, Shi Yi quickly started selling.
Shi Yi: "Don't rush, it's still 300 servings, one serving per person."
It's the same as lunchtime, except that many people probably won't be able to eat tonight.
There were many more people than at noon, probably because nearby workers had just finished get off work and had time to come and queue up.
Several of the diners in line were live-streaming.
"Family members, I'm already in line, please don't rush me."
"It seems like I can only buy one. I haven't decided what to buy yet. Does anyone have any recommendations?"
"Wow, I see so many dishes, I want to eat them all."
The anchor's camera focused on the boxed lunches on the cart.
The viewers in the live stream were flooding the screen with rows of envious emojis.
Why is this place so far away from me?! Otherwise, I would have gone and joined the queue too.
[Luckily, the streamer arrived early; with so many people arriving later, it looks like they won't be able to get any food.]
[I'm so tempted! Who would have thought I'd be drooling over scrambled eggs with tomatoes? I can't take it anymore, I'm making some tonight too, and I'll also make some broccoli and shrimp stir-fry!]
Is this braised pork for real? This meat looks so delicious!
Just then, a customer who had bought a boxed lunch earlier walked in front of the camera and opened the lid of the boxed lunch in front of the live stream viewers.
The braised pork belly swayed slightly in the lunchbox with his movements, the whole piece of meat radiating an enticing brownish-red sheen.
With a good balance of lean and fat, it looks neither too greasy nor too dry.
This braised pork looks delicious! I wonder how fragrant it will be after just one bite?
I suspect this person is deliberately trying to tempt us; why are they getting so close? The pieces of meat are practically in my face.
"Could you come any closer? Just deliver it to my house, and I'll take a good look at this braised pork for you."
[Damn it, I can't even imagine how delicious this must be!!!]
[Host! I'll choose braised pork belly! I want to see you eat braised pork belly; watching you eat it is like me eating it!]
No, I want to see braised pork ribs.
How about scrambled eggs with tomatoes? I'll be envious if I can't have any of the other dishes.
