Seeing so many people gathered in front of the steamed bun stall, Jia Lan quickly joined them, running around Lin Zhou's stall with the crowd.
It wasn't until Lin Zhou drove the tricycle to a familiar spot that everyone started scrambling for a spot.
They stood in line in front of the stalls.
Jia Lan had intended to move forward, greet Lin Zhou, and thank him.
But the people in front of her were very wary and wouldn't give her a seat at all.
He looked like he was afraid she would cut in line.
"Please line up in the back, don't push. We are all civilized people, please follow the order."
Jia Lan was pulled to the back of the line by the crowd and couldn't get to the front at all.
She had no way to explain herself when people suspected her of cutting in line.
You can't exactly say that you didn't come here primarily to buy steamed buns, can you?
But she really wanted to eat steamed buns.
While expressing my gratitude was the main purpose of coming over, wanting to taste these delicious buns again was also one of my goals.
Therefore, it's not easy to explain.
So I just naturally joined the queue behind the crowd.
......
Lin Zhou parked the car and began unloading the goods to steam buns.
After I finished my work, I looked up and saw a long queue standing in front of me.
He was lucky to find a good spot; it was on the side of the road near the park entrance, where people queuing could stand in a line on the side of the sidewalk without blocking the way.
"Boss, what flavor of steamed buns are you having today?"
As the steamed buns began to steam, Lin Zhou had some free time, and the diners in front of him started asking questions.
Lin Zhou responded gently, "They are red bean buns and char siu buns."
"Ah, just like yesterday. I was thinking that I didn't buy enough yesterday and didn't get enough to eat. Today I'm going to eat my fill!"
Yesterday, many people had a preconceived notion about sweet buns and felt that they didn't suit their taste.
It wasn't until after we ate it that we realized we hadn't bought enough.
Some people had already gone home, but after tasting the flavor, they made a special trip to Huaguo Mountain to buy more, only to find that Lin Zhou had already closed his stall.
"I used to love savory buns like big meat buns, tofu buns, and pickled mustard green buns, but I never expected sweet buns to be so delicious."
"Absolutely, and they're beautiful. When I bought the red bean buns, my wife thought I bought steamed buns. She was so surprised and delighted when she took a bite and found out they were red bean buns."
"I didn't even make it to the house; I didn't finish eating properly on the way home."
Among the crowd, some people knew each other and chatted while waiting in line, making it quite lively.
It attracted many passersby.
Chinese people are always very curious about queuing.
Especially when it comes to food with long queues, many people think that if so many people are queuing up, it must be really delicious, right?
You won't want to miss this opportunity!
If they have nothing else to do, they all come to join in the fun and queue up with the others.
Curious passersby, wondering what everyone was queuing for, also joined in to reserve a spot, asking the people in front of them with curious expressions what they were queuing for.
I was incredibly surprised to learn that everyone was queuing up to buy steamed buns.
I've never seen so many people lining up to buy steamed buns at the park entrance so late at night.
You have to try this bun to see what it tastes like!
......
At this time, the elderly man climbing the mountain, led by the driver, arrived at Huaguoshan Park from the Royal Villa.
Parking was difficult in the park, so the elderly man who was hiking got out of the car first and asked the driver to park the car and come find him.
As soon as he got off the bus, the old man climbing the mountain saw Lin Zhou, who was setting up a stall to sell steamed buns.
So he put his hands behind his back and strolled to the back of the line to join the queue.
And you know what? He smelled the aroma of the steamed buns as soon as he got out of the car—a subtle, enticing fragrance.
As soon as the buns were steamed, the line moved forward quickly.
Lin Zhou continued packing without stopping.
Today's customers were more numerous than before, with several ordering a dozen, twenty, or even thirty buns in a row.
Lin Zhou was terrified.
"Dude, why are you buying so much?"
Lin Zhou glanced at the steamer; it had only been a short time, and there were already very few hundred buns left.
Buying them one by one would be too much.
"I want to buy some and freeze them to store in the refrigerator, so that I can eat them for several days."
After a moment of silence, Lin Zhou still packed him twenty steamed buns, ten of each flavor.
Seeing him do that.
The diners who followed suit also imitated it quite well.
Then, after the line had only moved forward a dozen or so steps, the first batch of one hundred buns was gone.
Less than a third of the people in line managed to buy one.
"Sorry, the last batch of buns is sold out. We need to steam them fresh. Please wait about ten minutes."
The fillings of both char siu bao and red bean buns are processed. They can be steamed at high temperature for ten minutes and then simmered for three minutes.
There were regulars in the queue, and when they saw that the first batch of steamed buns was gone before 8:30, they immediately had a bad feeling.
"I counted, there were less than ten people who bought steamed buns before, and a hundred steamed buns were gone in an instant?"
"Boss, look at the people behind you, could you limit the number?"
"Yes, I don't want to be the one who sells out again!"
"Boss, can we limit the number of purchases? Otherwise I won't be able to eat anything!"
The diners realized something was wrong, and the orderly queue instantly broke into chaos as everyone nervously gathered around Lin Zhou's stall to make suggestions.
Lin Zhou hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the people behind him seemed to have the same idea, he asked, "Don't you think it's unfair that there are purchase restrictions now? The people in front bought so much."
Those diners at the front of the crowd were shaking their heads frantically.
"Purchase restrictions are fair, and we'd be happy to have them!"
"Exactly! If there are no purchase limits, what if the next person buys them all out by themselves!"
"Boss, we don't mind if you start limiting purchases now."
"That's right, that's right! As long as we can buy them, it doesn't matter if we buy a small amount!"
