Wen Nan was so exhausted that she was almost delirious. When she smelled the aroma of the seafood porridge, she couldn't help but laugh, but all she could make was a "ho ho ho" sound.
His weary body seemed to have been reborn as if it had been given a long-awaited respite.
With his last breath, he overtook three or four people in a row, gritting his teeth as he climbed upwards.
If he had had this kind of perseverance during the college entrance examination, he wouldn't have ended up only getting into a junior college.
Why!
Wen Nan breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw Lin Zhou.
He collapsed limply to the ground.
It startled everyone present.
"Oh my god, what happened, buddy!"
The fitness coach was talking to Lin Zhou one second, and the next second he heard a "bang" and was startled.
Turning around, I saw Wen Nan lying face down on the ground.
Next, it wasn't just one person.
One after another, diners climbed to the top of the mountain, but they couldn't even stand up, let alone speak.
Climbing this mountain was even more tiring than running around on the shuttle bus all week to buy tea eggs.
As for why it's so tiring, it's because everyone not only has to climb mountains and expend physical energy, but they also have to climb quickly to get to the top before others do, so they don't miss out on food.
If they painstakingly climb the mountain only to find the porridge sold out, they might truly be so desperate they roll their eyes.
Lin Zhou was quite frightened by these diners who were slowly climbing towards him.
When these people reached the top of the mountain, they were so exhausted that they had to use both hands and legs to climb up; they couldn't walk anymore.
He crawled toward Lin Zhou with sheer willpower.
Lin Zhou quickly carried the porridge bucket and disposable bowls and spoons to the top of the mountain steps and sat down.
Watching them struggle to climb to the top of the mountain, like zombies, crawling on all fours, was enough to give me a nightmare if I looked at them for even a second.
It's really a bit scary.
One female diner, in particular, was exhausted when she reached the top of the mountain. Her eyes were vacant, her expression was ferocious, and her face was deathly pale. Her long, straight black hair was draped over her shoulders as she crawled toward him. Lin Zhou was so frightened that he quickly put down the large iron ladle in his hand and went to help her up.
My apologies, my apologies, what a terrible sin!
"Come on, everyone, stop climbing and take a break. You don't need to say anything, I understand."
Lin Zhou looked touched and, with a hint of fear, quickly helped these people up. He also reassured them, saying that there was plenty of seafood porridge, and even a large bucket of it!
They were helped to sit down on a large rock.
Luo Yu and his fitness coach rested for half a day and even drank a large bowl of seafood porridge to replenish their energy.
Seeing Lin Zhou step forward to help, they quickly stopped chatting and helped Boss Lin take care of the diners who had climbed up.
The female diners nearby looked at each other and tried to help, but they were all too tired to move and were very heavy. Instead of helping them up, she was pulled down herself and had to be supported by Lin Zhou.
Lin Zhou didn't say anything, his expression still gentle as he helped her up and led her to the side to rest.
The female diner blushed with embarrassment.
She usually works out regularly and is quite strong, but she didn't expect them to be so heavy that she couldn't move them at once.
It's not that she's incapable!
Should she explain herself? What if Boss Lin thinks she's not good enough?
"Mr. Lin, I wasn't mentally prepared. You know, I've always had a habit of exercising and hiking, so I'm in great shape."
After the female diner finished speaking, she was afraid that Lin Zhou would not believe her. She looked at the top of the mountain and saw another diner climbing up. She had long hair and was a girl. She was sure she could do it!
After saying this, fearing that Lin Zhou wouldn't believe her, she ran directly to the girl who had just climbed to the top of the mountain and helped her up before she fell, so that the girl's weight would fall on her.
Lin Zhou stood there, his face initially blank, then he saw that the female diner's face was pressing down on another person's weight, and he strained to turn red, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"I understand, quickly help him sit down." Don't let him get hurt.
Lin Zhouhou did not utter a single word.
They were afraid that the female diner might do something to prove it.
The female diner breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Zhou busy serving porridge and not paying attention to her. She then helped the girl who was leaning on her to sit down.
There are actually pavilions further away where people can rest, and it would be more comfortable to sit there, but we couldn't walk any further, so we could only help them sit on the nearest rock.
They were all regular customers, and Lin Zhou recognized many of them. He served them porridge and handed it to them, letting them eat first.
They must be exhausted from the journey; I wonder if they have the strength to drink porridge.
Just as Lin Zhou was thinking this, he saw that these people, who had been half-dead just moments before, now had their eyes open as soon as they got their hands on the seafood porridge.
Feeling too weak to sit and eat, unable to lift the bowl, I simply lay down on the ground and drank it spoonful by spoonful.
As they ate mouthful after mouthful of seafood porridge, their complexions gradually softened.
Lin Zhou was completely stunned.
He didn't put anything in his seafood porridge, yet it's like a magic pill.
As these people ate, they were able to sit up and sit on the ground, leaning against a large rock, looking quite comfortable.
"It's so delicious! I've never had such fresh porridge before. The consistency is just right, not too thick and not too thin."
"Absolutely! The squid pieces are the size of grains of rice, and when you chew them, they have a crisp and tender texture. It's amazing! I've never eaten anything like it before."
"If seafood isn't cooked properly, it becomes tough and chewy. How do you preserve its fresh, tender, and crisp texture? Won't it get scalded by the heat of the porridge?"
"I don't know how Boss Lin made it, it's so delicious."
A piping hot, warm seafood congee is an unexpected and effective way to replenish energy in such a setting.
As diners enjoyed the delicious seafood porridge, they instantly felt that their physical fatigue could be ignored.
My attention was completely drawn to this bowl of seafood porridge.
"Moreover, the fresh flavors of shrimp and crab are completely infused into the rice porridge. With one bite, I feel like I'm in the ocean."
"The saltiness of the congee base seems to come from the natural saltiness of the seafood, it's so delicious!"
While eating, Wen Nan seemed to remember something, took out her phone, took a picture of the seafood porridge, and sent it to Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang is already driving towards Qinhuang Mountain.
While waiting at the traffic light, I glanced at the message and immediately replied that he would be there soon.
Then we continued driving towards Qinhuang Mountain.
Even though he knew it might be too late, he was still unwilling to give up.
Who could know clearly that Boss Lin was selling porridge in Qinhuang Mountain and still pretend they didn't see it?
That heart feels itchy, like a cat scratching at it.
Instead of constantly thinking about it, it's better to satisfy yourself. If you really don't get to eat it, then you've tried your best.
It won't stay on my mind forever.
If all else fails, see if Wen Nan can leave him a bite to taste.
This seafood congee is a returning dish; if you miss it this time, you really don't know if it will be available again next time!
