Most of the customers who had eaten there before ordered two portions. In just a short while, she had sold quite a few boxed meals, and the number of boxed meals on her stall had decreased by more than half.
People are still arriving one after another.
I guess their reputation has spread, and everyone's rushing to buy their boxed lunches.
"Don't rush, don't rush, there are still plenty." There are at least fifty more on the stall. If that's not enough, she can secretly add a few more, since the fabric hasn't been fully lifted yet.
Shi Yi glanced at the queue that was already formed; it wasn't actually that long, so there was probably no need to add more.
"Wow, these shrimp are huge! And there are so many of them!" A girl who had just opened her lunchbox exclaimed in surprise, and the people in line immediately looked at the lunchbox in her hand.
"Wow, this portion is way too big!"
"These shrimp look delicious! Boss, I'll have an order of braised shrimp in oil!"
"No, I need one too!"
"I want to eat shrimp and I also want to eat ribs. Oh my god, I'm so conflicted."
"......"
Shi Yi's hands were constantly busy, grabbing lunch boxes, chopsticks, and bottles of water, and finally packing them into bags.
When Qin Zhipeng finally got to line up, he saw that there were still boxed meals on the food cart, and his eyes immediately crinkled with laughter.
Luckily, they weren't all sold out.
"Boss, I've finished my braised pork ribs. Your cooking is amazing! I'll pack two more portions to go: one with minced pork and eggplant, and one with braised prawns!" Qin Zhipeng patted his round belly.
I'm full, but I'm still really hungry.
"I'm glad you like it, thank you for your support!" Shi Yi said politely.
"Of course I'll support you, boss. Are you coming again tomorrow?" He wanted to keep eating this boxed lunch until he got tired of it.
Although I don't know when I'll get tired of it, I certainly won't get tired of it at all right now.
After packing his lunchbox and returning to the company, Qin Zhipeng was about to put it in the company's shared refrigerator when his colleague Li Lan, who was passing by, stared at the lunchbox in his hand.
"It smells so good, Brother Qin! Did you buy this lunchbox or make it at home? It smells amazing!"
Li Lan, who originally planned to eat two cucumbers for lunch to lose weight, couldn't resist the smell of this dish.
His eyes were fixed on it, and he swallowed hard without realizing it. "Brother Qin, can I buy one from you? I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving and have no energy. Ordering takeout takes too long."
"Huh?" Qin Zhipeng paused for a moment, but after looking at her pale face, he agreed. They were colleagues, and giving her a portion wasn't a big deal. She could just eat one less portion tonight.
"Alright, which do you want, minced meat eggplant or braised shrimp?"
Braised prawns!
As soon as Qin Zhipeng finished speaking, he heard her excited voice. He paused for a second, and then she took one of the lunch boxes from his hand.
She picked it up and smelled it. "It should be this one. It smells like shrimp."
Upon opening it, it was indeed braised prawns in oil.
Each one is plump, translucent, and glows with an orange sheen.
Qin Zhipeng couldn't take his eyes off the scene, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
His shrimp!
That shrimp was huge! Gone!
"Brother Qin, I'll take it and eat it first. You can tell me how much it costs later, and I'll transfer it to you." Li Lan didn't notice Qin Zhipeng's almost tearful expression with a lingering look in his eyes. She turned around and ran back to her workstation to start eating.
What happened to being so hungry and weak? Her legs were moving so fast, as if she was afraid he would regret it and take it back.
Qin Zhipeng could only shake his head helplessly. Oh well, he'd try the braised prawns again tomorrow. Tonight, he could at least have eggplant with minced meat, which wasn't bad.
However, the boxed lunch, which had only been in the refrigerator for five minutes, was picked up and opened by someone.
