Hu Yunhui: ......
These two old men are quite energetic.
"No need, I'm already up. Let's go out and line up together."
When they arrived at the entrance of the nursing home, they saw a group of diners already waiting by the roadside.
The elderly people stared in astonishment, their eyes wide with disbelief.
When have you ever seen young people queue up even more enthusiastically than these old folks?
"What's going on? It's barely dawn!"
The elderly people were confused and shocked, and almost dropped the small stools they were holding.
"Goodness, let's hurry over and grab a spot. It would be embarrassing if we got up so early and still hadn't bought anything."
Hu Yunhui strode quickly, leaving Lao Li and Lao Wang behind, and walked to the back of the line to join the queue.
She looked at the row of benches in front of the fried food stall, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
The way these young people are lining up is even more complete than that of these elderly people.
Everyone knows to bring a stool to reserve a spot.
The diners queuing up at this time are either those who haven't slept all night, those who went to bed early and got up early to queue, or those who brought a folding bed to lie down in the middle of the queue to catch up on sleep.
The elderly people were completely dumbfounded.
What's going on here?!
Why do I have this feeling that we've lost to these young people?
Lin Zhou's stall location was exposed too quickly this week, and it wasn't just a small-scale exposure.
It was posted directly online by Sakura.
Anyone who's a long-time fan and regularly follows where Mr. Lin sets up his stall already knows what's going on.
The group of people who were scrambling for food had all learned from experience. They knew that Lin Zhou's stall opened at eight o'clock, so they lined up three hours in advance—it was all basic common sense.
It's not surprising that there were so many people.
......
On the other hand, Lin Zhou, after returning home from grocery shopping, was not in the same mood as yesterday.
Unexpectedly, his regular customers found his spot after just one day of setting up his stall.
There's really no way to slack off.
They started frying skewers as soon as they arrived and were busy until they ran out of ingredients. If they hadn't packed up and left quickly, customers who didn't get any skewers would have already come back from the market with groceries.
Lin Zhou looked at the remaining eight hours of the task and felt a bad premonition.
I originally thought I could finish the time in two or three days, but it seems that it won't be easy to finish it in a week!
It's Thursday already!
If you average it out each day, he has to set up his stall from at least 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. to make up 20 hours a week.
He knew that system tasks were bound to have pitfalls.
It's just a matter of how big or small the trap is; if there's an easy bonus task to complete, you should be secretly happy.
"Sir, you bought quite a lot of ingredients today. Should we skewer them all?"
The housekeeper looked at the twice as many ingredients as yesterday and asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Yes."
Lin Zhou nodded and began making the dipping sauce.
Time is very tight.
In order to keep his stall open for longer, Lin Zhou had to increase the amount of ingredients. Otherwise, if the food was sold out in less than two hours, he wouldn't be able to complete his task.
At this moment, he realized how naive he was when he first received the task on Monday and thought it would be easy to complete.
I still feel like giving myself a break.
Wow, the slap in the face came too quickly.
All of this caught people off guard.
Also, the diners are really well-informed.
Lin Zhou closed his stall early yesterday and went home to search for news about himself online.
The latest video that came out was the one that Sakura shared.
Tens of thousands of people have already liked, shared, and commented on it.
Lin Zhou remained silent the entire time.
He never expected that simply setting up a stall would attract so many fans.
This clearly shows that there are still quite a few foodies.
We bought too much food, and it's past 7 o'clock, but we still haven't finished skewering the ingredients.
Lin Zhou told everyone not to bother with the skewers, since there would be other customers waiting to help once they arrived.
If no customers compete with him for his work, he can use the time he spends selling skewers to earn more time.
He was calculating things meticulously.
I set off on my tricycle and arrived at the entrance of Xingfu Nursing Home before eight o'clock.
He said that the reason why a task to accumulate time should have a set time for setting up a stall was because they knew he couldn't complete it all at once and were waiting for him there.
When Lin Zhou arrived at the location, he wasn't surprised at all by the long queue. He greeted the diners in line with a smile.
Good morning.
Good morning, Mr. Lin.
"Good morning, good morning~"
For a moment, greetings filled the air, waking up the man who was catching up on sleep.
He sat up groggily and saw that Lin Zhou had already arrived, and he instantly became fully awake.
Good morning, Mr. Lin.
His "Good morning" was well-deserved.
Indeed, I just opened my eyes.
Seeing the man's sleepy appearance, the diners behind him couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Dude, what time did you get here? Are you catching up on sleep?"
"Don't even mention it. I didn't get home to sleep until after midnight, and then I woke up at five in the morning to queue up at Boss Lin's stall. How could I not catch up on sleep?"
"You're really going all out."
The diners behind him gave the man a thumbs up.
This foodie's power is truly formidable.
"This is nothing. With just a little time investment, I can buy the delicious food made by Boss Lin. It gives me energy for my whole day at work."
A boring and busy job is already exhausting, but having some good food makes all the difference. At least you have something to look forward to and feel that sense of fulfillment from being well-fed and satisfied.
"That makes sense, buddy. Put the folding bed away, I can still stand a bit further forward."
A folding bed placed vertically can take up the space of several people.
