Then the shuttle bus across the street arrived first, and Lin Zhou immediately led Xiao Wu across the street.
"The shuttle bus at this stop just left. Since the bus from the other side is here, let's go to the other side first."
Lin Zhou, who was carrying tea eggs, suddenly changed his mind.
A car is coming, who wants to just wait around!
Xiao Wu listened to Lin Zhou in everything. The two got into the car one after the other, which made the diners who hadn't even reached the stop stare wide-eyed.
Holy crap!
Before they even reached their destination, Boss Lin boarded a bus going in the opposite direction.
They were so close to Boss Lin, yet they missed each other twice, right under their noses!
At that moment, the group of diners deeply understood what it meant to be destined to meet but not to be together.
So that's what it feels like.
They made every effort, but could only watch helplessly as Lin Zhou once again slipped through their fingers.
"Boss Lin, don't go! Wait for us!"
The distance was a bit far, and Lin Zhou and Xiao Wu didn't hear it, so they just followed the bus and set off.
The diners who hadn't even reached the food yet felt a wave of despair.
Just as they missed their stop, the shuttle bus arrived at the opposite station, and Mr. Lin boarded it.
If they had arrived a little earlier, they would have met!
They've learned their lesson this time and will definitely not let Boss Lin push them out again.
"What are you waiting for? Chase after him! Maybe we can catch up and watch Boss Lin slip away right before our eyes?"
"As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. This has happened twice already, so there definitely won't be a third time."
"Yes, yes, compared to those who have no news about Boss Lin, at least we've found him. Aren't we better than them?"
These words instantly rekindled the enthusiasm of the previously listless diners, who immediately boarded the bus carrying Lin Zhou.
These diners, who came here this week, may not have done much else, but their daily running steps are definitely among the top in their social circle.
With them around, it would be difficult for Lin Zhou not to complete his mission.
With no need to use the card on the last day, Saturday morning alone, Lin Zhou had completed his task and it was time to close up shop.
This caused the disheveled diners who had finally caught up to break down in their defenses.
"Boss Lin! Are you out of tea eggs?"
"I burst into tears. This time I really wanted to cry."
"Brothers, you must learn from this experience. We had already met Boss Lin, but because we were too excited, we were pushed off the bus by him and missed out on the tea eggs."
"They couldn't keep up and got lost. We finally found them, but the tea eggs were gone!"
"My God, what a miserable life we're living!"
"If God could let me go back in time and give me another chance, this time I would definitely not let everyone be pushed off the bus by Boss Lin!"
Other diners, who were initially unaware of the situation, overheard these people's tearful complaints, and found that a great deal of information was revealed in just a few words.
So much so that the diners who heard it widened their eyes in surprise.
"Good heavens, this is the first time I've met such a ruthless bunch. Some kind souls buy food and get pushed off their carts by the vendors, and you guys smash the pots before they even get to eat!"
"What a terrible thing!"
"Hahahaha, sorry, I just couldn't help it!"
"My God, Mr. Lin, as the person involved, do you have anything to say?"
Lin Zhou was being pulled along by a group of diners, and he felt quite helpless.
"I happened to be standing near the back door, but there were just too many people..."
Lin Zhou smiled and helped the group of diners regain some face.
"Boss Lin, please love us one more time, are you still selling today?"
The tea eggs from this morning are gone; they were still available in the afternoon.
It's still something to look forward to.
"That's all, I didn't make any braised meat before I left home this morning."
Upon hearing this devastating news, the group of diners cried even louder.
"Boss Lin, please don't! My child rushed over last night and hasn't even had a single tea egg all morning. Um... could I have a taste of the remaining soup? It smells so good!"
The tea eggs are sold out, but there's still some broth left in the thermos.
The fragrance was right there in the bucket, yet its presence was incredibly strong.
Even though everyone was gathered around Boss Lin, their eyes couldn't help but linger on the braising liquid.
Even without tea eggs, the aroma of the braising broth remains rich and strong.
The aroma of tea mixed with the scent of braised meat is really appealing.
It lingers around the tip of your nose, and you just can't shake it off.
The aroma of tea is unique, while the aroma of braised food combines the flavors of various spices and Chinese medicinal herbs. The combination of these two aromas is so captivating that it's hard not to be drawn to it.
Lin Zhou: ......
This year's diners are really not picky!
"What do you want this braising liquid for?"
Lin Zhou was surrounded by a group of diners, and his legs were even being hugged.
"You can use it to braise meat or pour it over rice; you definitely wouldn't want to waste it."
"We were worried that Mr. Lin would have nowhere to throw away the braising liquid, so we thought we'd let you drink it."
Lin Zhou sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
He probably won't be able to leave until this thermos is completely emptied today.
"Okay, okay, I'll pack it up for you."
"Tomorrow, I'll sell the last batch of tea eggs tomorrow morning. It just so happens that tomorrow is Sunday, the last day."
Faced with so many hungry customers and newly arrived diners, even though the task was completed, Lin Zhou thought that the free-range eggs he had collected at home had not yet been used up, and he could sell them for another day.
Upon hearing the news that there would still be tea eggs to eat tomorrow, the diners who had been pretending to cry for half a day immediately got up and prepared to line up for their broth.
If I couldn't buy tea eggs, I'll just get some braising broth to mix with rice; that'll satisfy my craving.
