I don't understand why my colleagues felt awkward and needed to save face for the boss and bring down the trending topic.
He felt that the boss was just looking for a thrill by setting up a stall in such a crowded place.
Look how happy the boss is!
It seems that none of the people in the company understand the boss's thoughts.
The position of the boss's number one lackey, who else could it be but me!
Hahahaha~
Da Dong stood at the villa entrance with his hands on his hips, grinning arrogantly.
The servants who came out to see Lin Zhou off were startled, and they looked at Da Dong with strange eyes.
......
Pearl Times Square.
Regular customers started arriving in the morning, and some went to nearby coffee shops to wait since Lin Zhou hadn't set up his stall yet.
Some people were also strolling around.
Even passersby who were drawn in by the trending video came to see the live version of Western food accompanied by suona music.
"What time did the handsome guy in yesterday's video set up his stall?"
The two groups of people stood by the roadside looking around, but they didn't see the stalls listed online, so they took out their phones to search for them.
"I don't know. I saw the video in the afternoon, probably around lunchtime."
"There are so many people, I guess they all came for Suona Brother."
"That's right, it's rare for our city to be trending on social media, so we had to come and join in the fun."
The two huddled together, chatting quietly, and looked out at Times Square, where the crowds had doubled compared to before, leaving them both sighing in disbelief.
It's rare for their city to trend on social media, and even if it's in a funny way, it can still bring a huge amount of traffic to the city.
As a local, who wouldn't want their hometown to get better and better?
"What if they don't come to set up their stall today?"
As more and more people gathered around, and the suona player still hadn't set up his stall, everyone started to get anxious.
"No, Mr. Lin usually sets up his stall in one place and stays for a week. He rarely closes down after just one day."
An old customer nearby heard someone in the crowd ask a question and immediately chimed in.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's ask Boss Lin what time he sets up his stall so we can line up early."
As soon as one of the regular diners spoke up, another regular diner immediately chimed in.
Regardless of the onlookers, the regular customers, based on the leaked videos circulating online, had deduced that Mr. Lin's stall hours this week should be between 11 am and 12 pm. Seeing that it was almost time, they started queuing up.
However, there were too many people at the scene.
When Lin Zhou rode his tricycle over, he saw that the spot where he had set up his stall yesterday was completely surrounded by people. Not even a person could squeeze in, let alone his tricycle, which couldn't get in at all!
These passersby didn't notice Lin Zhou, who had already arrived outside the crowd, unlike the experienced regular diners.
So Lin Zhou, seeing the crowd unable to get in, quietly went to the other side of the road to set up a stall.
As long as it's all within the Times Square area and doesn't exceed the mission location, it's fine.
This week's steak cart is a size smaller than last week's roast duck oven cart, and its functions are very simple, consisting of just a teppanyaki grill and a two-tiered glass cabinet containing some disposable tableware that the cart itself provides.
Lin Zhou brought out another bottle of red wine that wasn't finished yesterday.
Then they started setting up a stall.
Lin Zhou originally planned to bring folding tables and chairs before setting up his stall, but then he discovered that the stall was designed to be sophisticated and high-end, with very little space, leaving him with nowhere to put them, which was quite awkward.
So, this was the only way to set up a stall.
With the guests in mind, Lin Zhou chose a spot by the curb with steps, so that guests would have more options if they wanted to sit down to eat.
A few minutes later, the regular diners who hadn't seen Lin Zhou yet sensed something was wrong and broke away from the crowd, looking around for him.
Then he met Lin Zhou's gaze across the street.
"Holy crap, Boss Lin is right across the street!"
"I was wondering why we hadn't seen anyone yet. I guess there were too many people watching, and Mr. Lin couldn't squeeze through."
"Hurry up, hurry up, Mr. Lin, there's no need to queue, why aren't you rushing in?"
The regular customers who had arrived early to wait spotted Lin Zhou and ran away as fast as cats seeing a mouse.
Even though Lin Zhou was wearing a suit, which was different from his previous attire when he was setting up a stall, they could still recognize him at a glance.
After all, the chef's presence standing in front of the food cart is unforgettable!
As required by this week's task, we aim to provide passersby with an exceptional Western dining experience.
Lin Zhou's limited understanding of Western cuisine from the first twenty-odd years of his life was that it consisted of top-quality steak with red wine, and a musician in a suit standing next to him.
Since the system has approved his setting up his stall, there shouldn't be any problem.
Thankfully, all I needed to do was pan-fry a steak, otherwise wearing a suit really wouldn't be suitable for cooking.
Lin Zhou looked at the group of diners heading straight for him, and from their expressions he could tell they were regulars.
Only seasoned diners would ignore the stares of those around them and only focus on eating.
That single-minded focus on cooking was far too obvious.
Before the regular customers arrived, Lin Zhou skillfully heated the hot plate, brought out a whole steak, and began to cut it.
The side dish can still be cherry tomatoes. A long bunch of tomatoes are placed on a hot plate and fried in oil. In no time, they burst open one by one, and the juice falls onto the hot plate, making a sizzling sound. With a sweet and sour aroma, it is very appetizing.
"Hahaha, Suona Bro, what do you think of your new nickname, Boss Lin!"
As soon as the group of regular customers arrived, they stood right in front of the stall and started shoving each other face-to-face with Lin Zhou.
Lin Zhou's expression under the mask gradually cracked.
I knew today wouldn't be easy, but I didn't expect to be hit with a big move right away.
"I still prefer you guys to call me Boss Lin."
He was so embarrassed by the new nicknames given to him by netizens who didn't know him that he practically curled his toes in frustration.
How can he concentrate on playing the suona without any distractions?
Now, whenever he thinks of the suona, he thinks of the three words "Suona Brother".
"Hahaha, and there's also the Suona Steak Guy."
"Mr. Lin, did you know that your video of queuing up went viral?"
"I just checked not only Douyin but also Weibo, both are in the top three trending topics!"
"That's hilarious! I know that. Those two customers' friends bought the video to trend on social media. It's so funny!"
"I saw it too; their friend even posted a video."
"......"
Lin Zhou stared intently at the steak on the hot plate, as if conducting an experiment, using this as an excuse to avoid answering.
He really didn't know how to respond to that.
I was forced to be socially anxious.
He's definitely developing social anxiety.
As regular customers flocked over.
Passersby who had been drawn by the trending topic to watch the spectacle also came over.
The previously empty area was immediately filled with people.
Even passersby who were unaware of the situation were drawn over when they saw a group of people gathered around one spot.
"Hey handsome, there are so many people gathered here, is there some kind of performance or event?"
The young man who was being pulled aside to ask questions turned around and looked at the young woman who was also filled with curiosity.
"you do not know?"
