"What? You can only buy one?"
Once the dough is steamed, the braised meat rolls are ready to be sold.
The first customer, who was originally debating which flavor to choose, no longer needs to worry about it.
I just asked for a family photo.
"Boss, you can't keep reducing the purchase limit every day. One braised pork roll isn't enough."
Upon hearing that each person was limited to one purchase, everyone expressed that it wasn't enough.
Lin Zhou also knew that one might not be enough to eat.
But seeing that the number of monks had increased again after he set up a stall, there was no other way but to limit the quantity.
"Waaaaah, which fan was so uncivilized that they posted it online for Boss Lin? Now my treasure roadside stall has been discovered, and so many people have come to snatch it up. It's so sad."
"What happened to the confidentiality agreement? Why didn't you keep the good food a secret and instead exposed it?"
"Boss Lin no longer belongs to us; he will soon belong to everyone."
"With so many people, we don't have enough braised pork rolls to go around."
"Why don't netizens listen to advice this year? They said it wouldn't taste good, but so many people still came."
"Hey, netizens aren't stupid. If there are too many comments like these that sound like paid trolls, maybe some rebellious netizens who weren't interested before will come here specifically to check in after seeing these comments."
"Actually, I watched the video. It wasn't that popular to begin with, but then Mr. Lin's fans joined in, which caused the popularity to remain high. It should have been handled quietly and the popularity should have been reduced."
"It's no use talking about this now. Look at the long queue here. I've seen quite a few people filming videos. Once these people taste it, the hype will probably only get higher and higher."
Even the prospect of soon being able to eat braised pork rolls couldn't make these regular diners happy.
The diners in the fried chicken group were even more upset. They had only just learned where Mr. Lin's stall was when a large group of tourists came to grab the food. They really wanted to cry.
While waiting in line with his son, Da Bao, Gao Jiazhi saw Da Bao becoming restless after smelling the aroma and tried his best to calm him down.
"Don't rush, don't rush, we're here early today, it'll be our turn soon."
Gao Jiazhi set more than a dozen alarm clocks to wake up early to queue, which started ringing at nine o'clock and went off every ten minutes. Then, as expected, they woke up Da Bao.
Da Bao ran to the room again and woke up Gao Jiazhi.
After quickly washing up, the man and his dog went to line up at Lin Zhou's stall.
Da Bao stared longingly at the distance between itself and Lin Zhou, its mouth watering from the aroma of braised meat. Then, it abandoned its owner who was still in line and came to Lin Zhou, wagging its tail.
"Dabao, you're here."
Lin Zhou and Da Bao have become familiar with each other. When Da Bao wags its tail, Lin Zhou will shave the bone off his elbow and throw it to Da Bao to eat.
The fragrant, large bones looked so tempting that even the waiting diners were getting hungry.
Gao Jiazhi: ......
What to do when you have such a delicious dog?
Boss Lin is really generous; there's still some meat clinging to that big bone that hasn't been cleaned off. Needless to say, it must taste delicious when you gnaw on it.
Unfortunately, they're all from Dabao.
Yesterday's pork knuckle bones all ended up in Da Bao's stomach.
Those who saw it were incredibly envious.
Gao Jiazhi never imagined he would one day envy dogs.
"Da Bao is truly the darling of the group. Boss Lin spoils him so much. Before, when he was making fried chicken, he ate buffets every day. Now he gets braised meat rolls and even big bones to eat. He's living the dream."
The regular customers in the group also saw Da Bao gnawing on bones at the stall and were extremely envious.
"Oh, poor Da Bao. He used to have fried chicken at the fried chicken stall, but now they only allow one braised meat roll per person, so he only has bones to eat."
Gao Jiazhi, who was in the crowd, remained silent upon hearing this.
Yesterday he shared half of the two braised pork rolls with his son, but today there's a limit of one per person, how could he bear to part with one!
Da Bao, don't worry, Dad will give you extra food when he gets back. There will be plenty of that high-end dog food.
......
Meanwhile, the two street interviewers searched the queue but couldn't find the man who wanted to become a monk from yesterday's video, which puzzled them.
"Logically, this shouldn't be the case. The man said he wouldn't leave the temple for the braised pork rolls, so he should still be queuing up to buy them. Why didn't he come?"
"They might have disguised themselves. The video went viral, and people who don't want to be exposed will probably cover themselves up. There are a lot of people wearing masks here, so maybe they came but we didn't notice."
That makes sense, the girl nodded and continued her search.
"There are even monks in line. If you really can't find the person in question, interviewing a monk might generate some traffic."
The two huddled together, looking around for any material they could use to shoot a video.
Then we saw Ma Ming buy braised pork rolls, take off his mask, and start eating.
"Is that the person involved?"
The photographer, in the instant of doubt, instinctively shifted the camera away.
The host also looked over and clicked on the video to compare. After confirming that it was very likely the person in question, he immediately stopped queuing and went up to chase after Ma Ming with his equipment.
The diners behind the two: ? ? ?
Some people even left early while queuing to buy Mr. Lin's food.
I've really learned something new!
......
Ma Ming was looking at the family-style braised pork roll in his hand, happily preparing to eat it, when he was caught up by the two people conducting a street interview.
Ma Ming: "???"
"Hello, are you the person who gave up on becoming a monk yesterday because of eating braised pork rolls?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Ming subconsciously touched the mask on his face.
Holy crap, I was just about to start eating when I took off my mask!
"Yes."
Seeing that he had been recognized, Ma Ming nodded awkwardly.
"Great! We're very curious about you. Can we interview you? We do street interviews and have 300,000 followers on Douyin. We're not bad people. Here's our account; you can take a look."
Having been rejected by Lin Zhou earlier, the female host gave a very detailed introduction this time, as if afraid that neither of the parties involved would agree to the interview.
You can't ride that wave of popularity anymore.
What a pity!
She was also very curious about what kind of braised pork roll could be so delicious that it would make someone give up becoming a nun; the story behind it must be very interesting.
Ma Ming looked at the street interview account.
Each video gets thousands of likes, and some even get tens of thousands.
These kinds of self-media accounts seem to be very popular in recent years, and I've heard they're quite profitable?
The thought flashed through Ma Ming's mind, but before he could think about it in detail, he was interrupted by the host.
But he still caught him.
He immediately agreed.
"Shall we begin now?"
Seeing that Ma Ming had agreed, the host was very happy and immediately told the photographer to start shooting.
"Why do you want to become a monk?"
As expected, this was the first question.
Ma Ming organized his thoughts and began, "I've been practicing Buddhism with my grandmother since I was a child, and I've always had the idea of becoming a monk."
"Was it really because the braised pork rolls were too delicious that you gave them up?"
Ma Ming frankly admitted, "Yes, I had already made an appointment with the abbot to be ordained. When I was at the temple gate, I smelled the aroma of braised pork rolls. They smelled so good that I was immediately tempted. I thought that I would have to abstain from certain foods after becoming a monk, so I decided to buy one to try."
......
(There will be more updates after 12 o'clock. This plot is coming to an end. I'm not sure what time it will be released. Everyone should go to sleep early and watch it tomorrow~)
