Customers flock to Mr. Lin's fried chicken stall.
"Brothers, I just got word that the people in the baozi group next door contacted Boss Lin last week, but they didn't say a word about the promised information sharing. Now it's a new week, and someone in their group let it slip, that's how I found out!"
"Last week, Boss Lin sold fermented fish, smoked fish, fried fish, grilled fish, and fish ball soup at the Nanbin Farmers Market!!!"
"They're such scoundrels! They promised to share information, but not only did they keep the burger stand a secret, they also kept last week's fish a secret. That's outrageous!"
"And supposedly the person who found Mr. Lin's stall was the husky in front of our fried chicken stall. That's someone from our fried chicken stall group, but he was pulled into the steamed bun group before we even created our own group. How could this happen!"
The man was completely taken aback; he hadn't expected that the people at the steamed bun stall would be so untrustworthy.
"We've been looking for Boss Lin even though we haven't found him yet, how could you do this!"
"Exactly! The group admin should reprimand the people in the neighboring group!"
"I told you they were untrustworthy. Who would be willing to share something with Boss Lin? He doesn't even have enough to eat himself, and he'd expose it to attract more people to compete for it. They're completely unreliable."
"Aaaaaah, I missed Boss Lin's stall for two weeks!!!"
The young woman who was jogging at night was in a good mood at home, but after seeing this news, she immediately broke down, frantically grabbing her hair, screaming loudly, waving her hands, and acting completely crazy.
The grandmother, who was picking vegetables nearby, was so frightened by what she saw that she stopped picking vegetables altogether.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
"Get out of my granddaughter's body!"
As she shouted, the grandmother grabbed her cane and struck her granddaughter.
The young woman jogging at night was so frightened that she quickly put down her phone and ran away as fast as she could.
"Grandma! Grandma, I'm just going crazy, I'm not possessed by a ghost!"
The young woman who was jogging at night explained as she ran, and she became even more distraught.
This made Grandma even more suspicious.
The young woman who was jogging at night finally had to act normal before the grandmother put down her cane.
After all that commotion, she no longer dared to act crazy at home in broad daylight.
I picked up my phone and went back to my room to continue checking the group messages.
At this moment, people in the group were already discussing how to get Gao Jiazhi and Erha back.
That way, maybe next time we find Boss Lin, we'll be in their group chat.
“I think giving money is too vulgar. We are all fans of Boss Lin and have the same goal. We can use a honey trap.”
"Haven't you heard the saying that the timing of using a honey trap is precisely the time it takes to achieve one's goal?"
"But who should we send for the honey trap?"
“I noticed that the husky’s owner is a young man who probably doesn’t have a girlfriend, otherwise he wouldn’t bring his dog to Mr. Lin’s stall to eat bones every night.”
"Hey ladies in the group, let's chat!"
The young woman who was jogging at night saw this and, feeling bored, turned off her phone.
She heard from people who had been kicked out of the Baozi group that it was now impossible to rejoin the group. Everyone inside had registered, and they were all contributing their time and money to find Boss Lin. No one could get information for free.
So after calming down, she could understand why the customers in the steamed bun group didn't share information.
People in their group also try to find Boss Lin, but they don't have a plan and are just searching blindly. Many of them are just waiting for others to find Boss Lin without putting in any effort, trying to get information for others.
So it's perfectly normal that no one has been able to find Boss Lin for so long.
And they even condemn others.
Other people aren't your parents, they can't spoil you like this.
Sharing information and telling you Boss Lin's location is a good intention, but not telling him is perfectly fine too.
The girl who goes night running is thinking of leaving the group. She'd prefer to join the steamed bun group instead, since she's willing to put in a lot of effort to get some food!
......
It was evening.
Residents of Nanbin Community began to arrive at the entrance of the vegetable market one after another.
Then, when it was six o'clock and Lin Zhou's stall was still nowhere to be seen, I became a little puzzled.
"Grandpa, didn't the young man who sells fermented fish come today?"
The security guard shook his head; he had been watching closely but hadn't seen anyone come over.
"Are you not setting up your stall today?"
Residents who are used to buying fish at the market at set times are a little confused.
"Sir, please let the property management group know when the fermented fish arrives, then I'll come down."
The homeowner, who was in a hurry to get home and cook dinner, gave the security guard two apples and rushed home with the groceries.
The security guard nodded and casually put the two apples into his pocket.
Then, even as it got dark, the young man selling fermented fish didn't come to set up his stall.
The diners in the neighborhood were unable to buy any.
When Zhao Qisheng got home and heard his mother's account, he immediately asked his colleagues if they had seen any other roadside stalls selling fermented fish.
That's the good thing about being a city management officer; when you're on duty, you deal with these roadside stalls the most.
If you have any questions, just ask and you'll get some information.
After asking around and finding that no one remembered, he was at a loss and could only comfort his mother by saying they would check again tomorrow.
“When I went to buy them yesterday, there was a purchase limit. I remember when you bought them before, there was no purchase limit, and you bought a lot.”
Zhao Qisheng felt very upset when this was mentioned.
He thought his mother wouldn't buy it, so he would go and buy more to eat his fill, but he didn't expect there would be a limit, so he still didn't get his fill.
"When I bought it a few days ago, there were few people and not many people in line. But later, more people tried it and the line grew longer. If there isn't enough to sell, there will definitely be a purchase limit."
Aunt Zhao, who buys groceries every day, is very familiar with this trick.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Qisheng realized that this made sense.
The family was eating dinner, but without fermented fish, the food seemed a bit lacking.
......
Lin Zhou woke up at 11 p.m.
When they looked at the time, they were all a little confused.
I've slept for eight or nine hours now.
In the stillness of the night, Lin Zhou got up and saw that the lights around the villa were shining with warm light, which made him feel very cozy.
So that you won't fall asleep during the day and wake up to a completely silent night.
When I got downstairs, I saw a note left by the housekeeper, Sun. There were fresh hand-pulled noodles in the refrigerator, as well as a chicken soup that had been simmering for several hours that afternoon. Several cold dishes were also neatly arranged in airtight containers.
How thoughtful!
A warm feeling rose in Lin Zhou's heart.
Since Butler Sun and his team arrived, his quality of life has truly improved in every way.
Lin Zhou cooked a bowl of hand-pulled noodles in chicken broth and enjoyed a delicious late-night snack with some cold side dishes.
Then I realized that my sleep schedule seemed to be out of order again.
Getting up at this hour and having to set up a stall at noon, isn't that just turning my days and nights upside down again?
I have a bit of a headache.
With nothing to do, Lin Zhou rested for a while before picking up his fishing gear and setting off.
Since I can't sleep at night anyway, and I don't need to set up a stall, I'll just go fishing to kill some time. When it gets light, I'll go to the market to buy vegetables, come back and prepare, then set up my stall, and go back to sleep after I've packed up.
Lin Zhou looked at his plan and nodded in satisfaction.
