Bonus Chapter: New Year's Dumplings (Part 2)



Lin Zhou was quite helpless when he saw that everyone called him "Boss Lin" without even a hint of doubt.

In the words of these longtime diners, they would recognize him even if he were ashes.

So she stopped resisting, took off her mask, and greeted him with a smile.

In winter, when the outdoor temperature is cold, he always bundles up tightly when he sets up his stall at night.

Perhaps it was because the tricycle was eye-catching that everyone saw it as soon as it hit the road, and then noticed him and recognized him.

Lin Zhou was already used to this.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

As soon as he took off his mask, Lin Zhou smiled and waved to everyone, instantly enlivening the atmosphere.

Even with only ten or so people, it felt like a bustling, noisy place.

"Ahhh! It really is Boss Lin!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Lin! Where are you going to set up your stall?"

"Hehe, I just checked the calendar, and today is indeed Monday. Lunar New Year's Eve is actually a Monday this year. I thought Boss Lin wouldn't be setting up his stall during the New Year!"

"Ah! They're selling dumplings! I love dumplings, and we have to eat dumplings during Chinese New Year!"

Regular diners gathered around the food cart, chatting away.

Even the drivers in the adjacent lanes couldn't wait to lean out of their car windows and call out to Boss Lin when they heard him calling out "Boss Lin."

There are surveillance cameras at the intersection, so even if they are in a hurry, they dare not get out of the car or do anything else.

All they could do was watch Lin Zhou and the traffic lights with longing.

Pay attention to where Boss Lin is going, and follow him immediately.

"Hey bro, remember to mark the location where Boss Lin is setting up his stall!"

"Boss Lin, where are you setting up your stall? I might not be able to keep up. Can I go to the location first and wait for you?"

Lin Zhou watched as these people leaned out of their cars and called out to him. With only one red light and time running out, he quickly replied, "Let's go to Wuyue Plaza up ahead. Wait for me there!"

Lin Zhou hadn't decided where to set up his stall; he planned to explore as he went.

But now that they've been discovered, they've simply found a nearby open space to set up their stall.

The regular customers were immediately delighted when they heard the location of the stall.

"Waaah, after so many years, Boss Lin has finally returned to Jiangdong to set up his stall! I can die without regrets!"

Lin Zhou's lips twitched uncontrollably as he listened to the familiar, corny quote.

Jiangdong Foodie has been around for so long, but it's still the same as always!

"The light's green. Let's meet at Wuyue Plaza up ahead."

After Lin Zhou finished speaking, he greeted the regular diners around him and rode off on his tricycle.

Seeing him start moving, the other diners disregarded their original plans and excitedly followed Lin Zhou towards Wuyue Plaza.

Some people couldn't wait even on the way and started sending messages and updates to inform their friends and family.

It's Chinese New Year, and at this hour, there are only a few people who haven't finished their New Year's Eve dinner.

The rest of the people were mostly relaxing and getting ready to have some fun.

Unexpectedly, I came across the news that Boss Lin was setting up a stall. This news caused quite a stir among the people of Jiangdong.

"What? Boss Lin has set up his stall?"

"Really?"

"Are you setting up a stall in Jiangdong?"

"What location?"

What are you selling?

Asking five questions in one click is the basic operation.

Almost everyone who saw the message asked these questions.

After obtaining Lin Zhou's exact location for setting up his stall, he immediately went there.

Each of them brought their families, as it just so happened that the whole family was together for the Chinese New Year.

Once one person knows, the whole family knows.

Mr. Lin's name is not only famous throughout the country, but he is also a sensation abroad.

As people from Jiangdong, they are incredibly proud.

Even the elderly in the family know the name of Boss Lin Zhou.

However, Mr. Lin now basically sets up stalls all over the world.

It makes it impossible for anyone to catch up with it, even if they want to.

Unlike before, when Mr. Lin only set up his stall in Jiangdong, back then, as long as there were many people, they could search everywhere and find Mr. Lin very quickly.

Now... all we can do is pray to God and Buddha for Boss Lin to return to Jiangdong to set up his stall.

There is no other way.

However, it is said that fortune-telling stalls also offer card fortune-telling and other such services, which are very popular. Many people who cannot find Boss Lin's location start to rely on these illusory things in the hope of obtaining Boss Lin's location.

In short, this rare good news made everyone extremely happy.

As soon as Lin Zhou found a good spot in Wuyue Plaza and parked, a queue had already formed in front of his stall.

That speed was so fast it caught everyone off guard.

"The dumplings haven't been made yet, please wait a moment."

Lin Zhou only prepared the filling and kneaded the dough before bringing it out. He thought that there might be no customers when he first set up his stall, so he could make dumplings while waiting for customers to come.

Unexpectedly, plans can't keep up with changes.

For now, diners can only wait in line.

Lin Zhou first poured purified water into the pot and lit the fire to bring it to a boil.

Then, take the dough out again and start kneading it thoroughly.

First, knead it until smooth, then roll it into a long, thin strip. Then, pinch off small pieces by hand, making sure they are about the same weight.

Next comes rolling out the dough.

It wasn't until they saw Boss Lin actually making dumplings that these longtime diners from Jiangdong felt a sense of reality.

Boss Lin really went back to Jiangdong to set up a stall!

On such a special day.

Everyone was taking photos and recording videos. Although they were excited, they were all very quiet, as if they were afraid of disturbing Lin Zhou while he was cooking, and they waited quietly to eat dumplings.

Then, after a short while, the number of people in the line increased.

Diners who lived nearby rushed over as soon as they received the news.

Standing at the end of the line, he looked around excitedly, eager to get to the stall and have a good chat with Boss Lin.

"Hey bro, what kind of dumplings did Boss Lin make? I was so excited, I ran out before I even finished my New Year's Eve dinner."

"No, Mr. Lin is still rolling out the dough; he just set up his stall."

The diner in front turned around and replied with a smile.

Everyone is looking forward to eating dumplings.

Unfortunately, they just set up their stall, so we'll probably have to wait a while.

"No rush, no rush, it's Chinese New Year, there's plenty of time. We can just skip playing cards tonight!"

"That's right. I was originally going to go play mahjong with my friends tonight, but now I'm not going at all. My friends are on their way."

"There will probably be a lot of people coming tonight. Luckily we arrived early. If we had come later, there probably wouldn't have been any food."

"I haven't eaten yet, but I'm so happy to see Boss Lin! It's been so long since Boss Lin has come back to Jiangdong to set up his stall. I'm really craving it!"

The happy regulars immediately started chatting as soon as the topic was brought up.

I haven't been this happy and excited in a long time!

At the stall, Lin Zhou saw that the dough was almost rolled out, so he opened the food storage containers he had brought out one by one, which contained the prepared fillings.

"Since there are so many people, let's limit each person to ten dumplings. There are five flavors: mutton and scallion, pork and shepherd's purse, pork and kimchi, beef and celery, and pork and cilantro."
