On the other hand, several college students who returned to Jiangdong during the National Day holiday spent their days searching for news about Boss Lin online.
He had seen posts online of people eating all sorts of delicious food sold by Boss Lin, which made him very hungry.
But he's studying at a university in another city and can't come back at all.
So far, I've only ever eaten the porridge that Boss Lin sells on the mountaintop.
Looking at the food photos posted online by other diners, with dishes like braised pork rolls and fried chicken burgers, I'm really drooling.
But when they came back, they still didn't know where Boss Lin was setting up his stall.
I've been asking online for days, but no one knows where Mr. Lin is setting up his stall this week.
The people who came to investigate were dumbfounded.
In their small group chat, the daily routine was always the same: asking if there was any news about Boss Lin.
Today is Wednesday, the 4th. They have to go back to school on the 6th. If they can't find them now, they might have to come back for winter break.
Cao Hongxin remembered what his girlfriend had said: she had seen someone online saying that Boss Lin was selling wontons in Taoshan this week.
But everyone thought this person was playing a prank.
Some people actually went there late at night, saying they were scammed.
He also felt that the news didn't seem true.
But no further information could be found online.
"These people are really tight-lipped. I couldn't find any information about Boss Lin in the local posts on a certain book. They really know how to keep good food hidden."
"That's right. In the past, when a restaurant or coffee shop opened in Jiangdong, people would immediately go and review it and recommend it. But when it came to Boss Lin, not even a single marketing account posted about it."
"Is it possible that they don't know where Boss Lin is either?"
"What you said makes a lot of sense."
"that......"
Seeing that the conversation was getting off-topic, Cao Hongxin thought it best to tell everyone what his girlfriend had seen, whether it was true or not, and let them discuss it together.
"My girlfriend said she saw online that Mr. Lin was selling wontons in Taoshan this week."
When this was posted, the other people in the group got excited.
"That's very possible. When we first learned about Boss Lin, wasn't he selling porridge in Qinhuang Mountain?"
"Where is Taoshan? Let's go take a look. Anyway, we have nothing to do at home during the holiday. We just play games all day." Yao Chao is so tired of playing games that he's almost sick of it. While others go out to play during the National Day holiday, he stays up all night to work on orders and make money. He's really something else.
"You don't know Taoshan?"
Cao Hongxin was a little confused when they asked him where Taoshan was, so he quickly explained, "Taoshan is a burial mountain!"
Yao Chao: "???"
"If you put it that way, the news might be true. According to the information we found, Boss Lin likes to set up stalls in some strange places, such as mountains, under overpasses, in front of bars, etc. It's not impossible that he'd even set up a cemetery."
"So, what do you guys say?"
"We're free tonight, let's go take a look together. If no one comes back, that's fine. We haven't found any other reliable information anyway. But don't bring your girlfriend. Girls are easily frightened, don't scare her."
"Okay, then let's say that."
After finishing their conversation, Yao Chao, who hadn't slept all night, went to bed.
It's perfectly normal for young people to have their days and nights reversed.
......
Around 10 p.m., everyone who was supposed to get up got up and went out to gather and take a taxi to Taoshan.
"What? To Taoshan?"
The four of them hailed a taxi, and when the driver heard the address, he wondered if he had gone deaf.
"Yes, Master."
"What are you doing going to Taoshan so late at night? It's all burial grounds there."
The driver clearly didn't want to make this trip and looked at the young men who got on the bus with some difficulty.
"Master, we left our things at the grave during the day and need to go back to find them. Could you please take us there?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yao Chao, a tough guy, acted like a spoiled child, leaving the driver speechless.
"Alright, I'll make the trip."
So, the car, with a total of 5 people including the driver, set off.
There were many people on the street, and the college students kept talking, so no one was too scared.
But when they got close to Taoshan, the driver saw faint figures ahead and started to panic.
Coming to a place like this, it's actually fine if it's completely deserted late at night, but if there are any people around, then something's not right.
"Look ahead, can you see a figure?"
As soon as the driver said this, the atmosphere inside the car suddenly became quiet.
The group looked ahead.
As it turned out, they actually saw what appeared to be a human figure standing in front of them.
"It seems there's more than one shadowy figure?"
"What...what should we do?"
"Are you guys stupid? The fact that there are shadowy figures means that Boss Lin might really be setting up a stall here."
"We should believe in science, okay? There are no ghosts out there. You're just scaring yourselves."
Driver: ......
Wouldn't that make him seem less daring than most young people?
So the driver stopped talking and sped up, wanting to see if the figure was a human or a ghost.
If you get close and the car headlights cast a shadow, then it's definitely not a ghost.
The group of people who had been feeling uneasy all breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon closer inspection, there were quite a few people.
Yesterday, everyone came together, but there were too many people, and the wontons prepared by Boss Lin were not enough for everyone. In the end, three people had to share a bowl of wontons, or they only got to drink the soup.
Some people who missed out on eating here have arrived early today.
After Yao Chao and his group paid and got out of the car, they saw several people waiting. They could guess that Boss Lin was probably really going to set up a stall there.
Otherwise, why would so many people come to Taoshan so late at night?
What does this mean?
"This illustrates the same principle as the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"There are rumors online that Boss Lin set up a stall in Taoshan, but everyone thinks it's impossible and just a prank, so no one takes it seriously. As a result, fewer people come to grab food. What a vicious scheme!"
"Exactly, I thought it was fake when I saw it too."
"I never thought it was true."
"Let's go, let's go join the queue too."
The four of them walked to the back of the line. The old customers in front were getting bored while waiting, and when they saw that someone had arrived, they came up to chat.
"Oh, you've all thought of the same thing. You've also come to line up early."
Upon hearing this, the college students immediately felt reassured.
"Yes, you too?"
"Of course! I'm not afraid. It'll save me from coming with the crowd and not getting any food. There are too many people. I didn't get any yesterday, so it was a wasted trip."
"The main force?"
Yao Chao and the others were unaware of the situation, and the regular diners immediately recognized that they were not from their group.
"You're not part of our group, how would you know that Boss Lin has a stall here?"
"You guys have a group chat? Can we join?"
The regular customer looked at the group of young men in front of him, whose eyes were clear but whose intentions were unclear, and fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
"You're university students, right?"
Although it sounded like a perfectly normal sentence, Yao Chao and the others felt that something was off.
