The unexpected good news made the diners, who had been searching for Mr. Lin for two days without success, go crazy with joy.
"Holy crap, am I having too much happiness lately? Or did the wish I made at Changzhong Temple come true? I've found out where Boss Lin sets up his stall without any warning for two weeks in a row?"
"My God, I can't believe it, I can't imagine, is this the news I should know?"
"Yeah, the surprise came so suddenly, I was a little scared."
"You guys upstairs are overthinking it. It's just that Mr. Lin's fame is growing and more people know about him. Jiangdong City is only so big, isn't it normal to run into Mr. Lin? I feel like everyone in my WeChat Moments is a fan of Mr. Lin."
"What you said makes sense. I'll go buy some fried skewers tomorrow, hahaha, I love fried skewers."
"This young lady is beautiful inside and out. She actually shared the location of Mr. Lin's stall with us. I'll give her a like, comment, and share! Followed!"
"Stop talking, I'm going to go and stay at the Happiness Nursing Home right now."
"......"
On the other side, Lin Zhou, who woke up at three in the morning, looked at the time and fell into deep thought.
What's wrong with his schedule?
Not a single day is normal.
Lin Zhou set up his stall at eight o'clock, but he was lying in bed reading a novel until five o'clock when he got up.
I took a shower, changed my clothes, strolled downstairs, made a simple breakfast, and then went to buy groceries.
Thinking about the fried skewers that weren't sold out yesterday, Lin Zhou didn't buy too many today. He just bought a little of each kind and then stopped.
When I got home, the housekeeper and the housekeepers had all come to work.
"You're starting work at six o'clock, that's too early. You can leave as soon as you're done, you don't need to wait for me to come back."
Lin Zhou thought that he got home at seven o'clock last night, and everyone was still there. They packed up his tricycle and groceries before leaving.
“We’re not busy at work, and we clean every day. We’re not tired. I feel uneasy when you don’t come back.”
If Lin Zhou didn't dislike having outsiders in his home, Butler Sun and the others would have preferred to work as live-in nannies so they could take care of all aspects of their boss's life.
That kind of employment method will create a deeper emotional connection with the employer.
In the current model, they feel more like they are just working for someone else, and they are afraid that one day they will be replaced by the boss.
Where will I find such a good job then?!
Leisurely, few things to do, and plenty of money.
The key is that the boss is a top-notch cook. He cooks often and makes a lot, so everyone has something to eat. I can't imagine how much they would regret losing this kind of life.
Therefore, everyone treated Lin Zhou like a treasure and took good care of him.
Strive to become an indispensable housekeeper or caretaker in the boss's eyes, ideally taking them everywhere you go.
Butler Sun and his team had a very good idea.
If they are considerate enough, the boss probably won't be willing to fire them.
"If you want to eat fried skewers, just fry them yourself. I've made a lot of sauce and seasoning powder, so you can fry as many as you want."
Lin Zhou has already prepared the most important sauce and seasoning for the fried skewers.
The other fried skewers, although requiring some skill and control of the heat, are not bad even for those with average cooking skills, thanks to his dipping sauce.
"Yes, sir."
"I see that we didn't sell all the fried skewers yesterday, so should we prepare less today?"
Lin Zhou nodded casually and carried the ingredients into the kitchen with everyone.
Next comes the work of preparing the ingredients.
The process of making fried skewers is not complicated; it's just the preparation work that takes time.
Eggplant, potatoes, and lotus root all need to be sliced and soaked in salt water. This serves two purposes: first, to wash away the starch from the potatoes, and second, to prevent the eggplant and lotus root from turning black.
The minced meat also needs to be chopped by hand and then seasoned to remove any fishy smell.
To prevent people from disliking the scallions, ginger, and other seasonings in the minced meat, Lin Zhou prepares the minced meat in advance by chopping scallions, ginger, and garlic, adding spices and other seasonings, and then pouring in boiling water to make the flavorful liquid and filling.
It can remove fishy smells and enhance aroma, and you can't taste the onion and garlic flavor.
With four people preparing together, it was quite quick.
Before 7 a.m., all the ingredients were cleaned, chopped, and prepared, and then they could be packed into boxes and sent to the tricycle to set up the stall.
It's okay if you don't finish stringing the skewers.
Since no one was eating fried skewers early in the morning, Lin Zhou planned to go to the place to kill time while slacking off some skewers.
Absolutely perfect.
With a chorus of "toot toot toot," Lin Zhou set off happily, humming a tune as he rode his tricycle.
Then, as soon as he turned the corner, he sensed something was wrong. Why did the nursing home in the distance look like it had a lot of people around?
It was empty when he came yesterday.
Are you waiting for him to set up his stall?
Lin Zhou has developed a conditioned reflex to his diners.
Whenever I see a lot of people at the place where I set up my stall, I feel like someone is waiting for me.
The tricycle riders immediately slowed down.
Surely not? He didn't run into any regular customers yesterday.
It was nearby residents and some people from nursing homes who came to buy fried skewers.
......
At the entrance of the nursing home, the elderly diners, unaware of Lin Zhou's stall location, simply found places to stand, filling up the entire open space.
"I didn't know what time Mr. Lin would set up his stall, so I came early to wait, just in case I missed it."
“What’s that? I arrived at daybreak, and the nursing home wasn’t even open yet.”
"The time when Mr. Lin sets up his stall is really unpredictable; you can only guess."
"Guess how Mr. Lin felt when he arrived today and saw us waiting for him?"
"Hahaha, you guys are so mean. You never tell Boss Lin and make him guess. Boss Lin probably can't understand why he runs into us everywhere he goes."
"That's right, we even managed to find them in the next city."
"......"
The elderly people in the nursing home are gathered together for their morning exercise.
Seeing that there were many more people outside the wall, I was extremely curious.
"Is there some kind of event in the community today? Why are there so many people on this street?"
"I don't know. I couldn't sleep this morning, so I got up at six and saw someone waiting at the door."
"It's lively with lots of people. It's rare to find young people around our nursing home who are willing to come here."
"I wonder if the guy who sold fried skewers yesterday will come to set up his stall today. Those fried skewers are really delicious. After eating those fried skewers, I don't feel like eating plain porridge or boiled eggs in the morning."
"You've become too picky about food. You eat bland food every day, so how could you not enjoy fried food when you finally get a chance to eat it?"
The elderly people gathered together to enjoy their retirement; it was quite a leisurely experience.
My accommodation is cleaned every day, and there is a canteen that takes care of all three meals a day. I also get a medical check-up every day, and there is a caregiver with me.
Besides watching TV, playing chess, singing, and gossiping, my daily routine mainly consists of eating.
"They should come again."
The elderly folks were chatting when they heard a burst of lively cheers coming from the entrance of the nursing home, which immediately caught their attention.
"What's going on? What did those people outside see?"
"Let's go, let's go, I'm so bored, let's go see what's going on."
