Aunt Zhao decided to hide the fermented fish she bought today so that those two gluttons wouldn't find it.
Otherwise, it might be gone in just one night.
......
After a day of searching, Mr. Lin's steamed bun stall has already exhausted its customer base, which includes various food streets, shopping malls, and park entrances in Jiangdong City that are open during the day.
At six o'clock, when Lin Zhou sets up his stall, it's also the time when many people in the group are getting off work.
The search team has expanded once again.
In order to find Boss Lin, Gao Jiazhi deliberately adjusted his schedule, sleeping at night and taking his well-rested Da Bao with him during the day, following the route planned by the group leader to search the streets everywhere.
Gao Jiazhi had absolutely no idea where Boss Lin's stall was, and relied entirely on Da Bao to lead the way.
After all, he was able to find Boss Lin's fried chicken because Da Bao led the way.
Now, of course, we're counting on Da Bao too.
"Da Bao, whether we can eat the delicious food that Boss Lin sells this week depends entirely on you."
Gao Jiazhi rode his electric scooter, holding the dog's leash, following behind Da Bao.
Da Bao ran ahead very fast, seemingly aimlessly, but he didn't forget any street or alley and searched them all.
On the other side, Wen Nan and Xiao Wang, who had just finished get off work, also started looking for someone along the street where the company was located.
When it comes to finding someone in the streets and alleys, everyone rides an electric scooter, which is convenient for navigating around and going through alleys.
Moreover, it's quite fast; it only takes a few minutes to run a lap around the entire street, and you can clearly see whether Boss Lin is setting up a stall or not.
"It's not on this street. Fill out the form and go look around Jiangjun Road."
Since he didn't know Lin Zhou's stall hours, Fang Jun included the times in the area list he compiled for the diners in the group, aiming to search all the locations in Jiangdong City day and night within two days.
This kind of carpet-bombing search, although a clumsy method, can indeed find people.
The delivery guys also played a big role in this.
I sent a message directly to the private chat group of delivery drivers, asking everyone to help find Boss Lin, and offering a reward of 1,000 yuan.
This money is more than what they earn in a day delivering food.
This made Mr. Lin an instant sensation among food delivery workers in Jiangdong City.
"Wow, who's so generous as to spend a thousand yuan to find a spot at a roadside stall!"
"Brother, what are you waiting for when it's free money? Pay more attention when you deliver food. Take pictures of any similar stalls and send them to the group to see if it's the Boss Lin that the employer is looking for."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it. I always take a look when I pass by a roadside stall."
"Hilarious! If you're so eager to know, why don't you buy billboards on taxis and search the whole city?"
"......"
When the deliveryman was taking a break, he saw a lot of messages in the group chat for his colleagues. He thought it was news from Boss Lin, but when he clicked in, he saw everyone gossiping and chatting.
Then, when he came across the suggestion of taxi billboards, his eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the steamed bun stall customer group to share it.
He thought this method was excellent.
The customers at the steamed bun stall were longtime fans of Boss Lin, having followed Lin Zhou for several weeks. They had a good understanding of Lin Zhou's personality as he appeared, and immediately started discussing the suggestion.
"Forget it, I think Boss Lin is just socially awkward. He stops talking when there are a lot of people around. If we really go to such lengths to find people, he'll be too scared to come out and set up his stall."
“I also think so. I am a socially anxious person. If someone exposes me to the public eye, I will definitely feel very uncomfortable. I am afraid that I will be recognized and surrounded by people when I go out. Even if we find Mr. Lin, he probably won’t dare to set up a stall.”
"This is not appropriate. Although this will generate a lot of buzz, it will definitely attract a lot of people to look for Mr. Lin and ask for interviews, which will disturb him. Let's just leave it at that and not disturb Mr. Lin's private life."
"Since Mr. Lin doesn't create a customer group or tell everyone where he sets up his stall each week, and he changes the location and time every week, don't you all know that Mr. Lin is socially awkward and afraid of being found? Setting up a stall may be a hobby, but if it is exposed, I think Mr. Lin is really capable of not setting up a stall at all."
"That's right. I saw someone expose a fried food stall online before, and it suddenly became popular. All sorts of people rushed to check it out and watch, and some people even went to interview it. The owner was so scared that he closed the shop for a long time just to avoid the hype."
As soon as the delivery guy's suggestion was posted, some people thought it was a really good idea.
But they were immediately stopped by diners who knew Mr. Lin.
Everyone is convinced that Lin Zhou is socially awkward.
Mr. Lin has said more than once that setting up a stall is just a hobby. He just wants to set up a stall in a low-key manner, sell some food he makes himself, and doesn't want to be disturbed too much.
If they do that, and Mr. Lin decides to stop setting up his stall, they'll regret it.
Since this method won't work, we'll have to find someone ourselves.
The deliveryman put down his phone to continue taking orders and delivering food, while also looking around at the roadside stalls to see if he could find Lin Zhou.
......
Lin Zhou, who had already arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, was unaware that in this city, a group of diners were so cautious and organized to search for him in a large-scale, carpet-like manner.
In a familiar spot, I saw the familiar middle-aged woman again.
Lin Zhou's expression froze instantly.
Wait, didn't this lady buy ten pounds yesterday? Why is she here again today?
When Aunt Zhao saw Lin Zhou set up his stall, she greeted him with a big smile.
"Hey young man, do you set up your stall at six o'clock every day? How come you're so punctual?"
Aunt Zhao arrived early and even bought all the groceries for tomorrow's meal, waiting here specifically for Lin Zhou to come over.
"Yes, Auntie, you're also buying fermented fish?"
