"Hey bro, what are you guys doing queuing up here?"
A bald man, wearing a vest, shorts, and flip-flops, strolled by with an air of nonchalance.
Seeing a long line of people on the sidewalk, stretching as far as the eye could see, I couldn't help but approach a guy who caught my eye and ask him a question.
With so many people, are they queuing up to get eggs?
"Buy steamed buns."
The next second, the young man was very approachable and answered him directly.
But the answer was somewhat different from what the bald man had imagined, leaving him a little bewildered.
"So many of you are lining up here to buy steamed buns this late at night?"
The bald man looked puzzled and confused.
The young man smiled, as if to say, "You just don't understand." He continued, "These steamed buns are delicious. You can queue up and buy a few to try some whenever you have time. They're absolutely amazing."
The bald man was indeed intrigued by his words, thanked him, and joined the queue at the back to wait in line.
Because they were standing far away, the aroma of the steamed buns didn't reach the back of the line.
By the time the bald man stood at the front of the line and could smell the aroma of steamed buns, Lin Zhou was already selling the last few baskets of buns.
The bald man looked a little anxious.
He's been standing for an hour already, don't let him miss his turn!
If you hadn't waited in line for so long and put in the effort, you wouldn't feel anything if you didn't get to eat it.
But if you put in effort and don't get a return, you'll feel like you've lost out, and your feelings will be different.
The bald man stared intently at the person in front of him, watching Lin Zhou's movements and carefully examining the remaining buns in the steamer. His serious expression, combined with his bald head and tattoos, made him look somewhat fierce.
This put considerable psychological pressure on the diners standing in front of him.
This guy doesn't look like someone to mess with. What if he doesn't get the steamed buns? Will he retaliate against them?
We live in a society governed by the rule of law. If they were robbed, would they call the police first or run away first?
If all else fails, wait until they buy steamed buns and see what they have left. If they don't have many, buy two fewer. Otherwise, I always feel a lot of pressure.
The young woman in front of the bald man was almost crying when she walked up to Lin Zhou's stall and saw that there were only a few buns left in the steamer.
How unlucky she is! She went out to buy some steamed buns and ran into someone who looked like a triad boss.
"I...I want a tofu bun and a big meat bun."
The girl stammered as she spoke, then quickly paid for the buns and ran away without looking back.
The bald man didn't care. He walked up and saw that there were only a few left in the steamer, so he took them all.
"I'll take the rest. Wrap them up."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou paused in his hand as he was filling the steamed buns.
The brothers standing behind the bald man were also stunned.
Looking at Lin Zhou, then at the bald man, he looked furious but dared not speak out, pitifully staring at Lin Zhou.
Lin Zhou caught his gaze and calmly said, "Each person is limited to four purchases. We have spicy tofu buns and large meat buns. Which would you like, sir?"
The bald man was stunned; he hadn't expected there to be a purchase limit for steamed buns.
The brothers behind him were wide-eyed when they saw that Lin Zhou had actually refused outright.
This bald guy looks like someone you don't want to mess with. Will the boss's directness cause a conflict?
Why don't he just not eat them and give the remaining buns to this bald guy?
No, no, these buns are so delicious, how could I bear to give them away!
He's been queuing for ages!
I can't bring myself to say such a lie.
Just as the man was nervously watching the bald man's reaction.
The bald man nodded casually and ordered two tofu buns and two large meat buns.
Thirty yuan.
Lin Zhou packed the buns and handed them over, casually announcing the price.
The bald man scanned the QR code to pay.
The argument that everyone had imagined did not occur throughout the entire process.
Surprisingly, this seemingly unapproachable and short-tempered bald man is actually quite reasonable.
The man behind him walked up, still somewhat incredulous.
But seeing that there were still four buns left in the steamer, his face immediately lit up with a smile.
I was so focused on the bald guy that I didn't notice there were only eight buns left in the steamer.
If the bald guy takes them all, he'll leave empty-handed and won't get any!
What great luck today!
He happily accepted the steamed buns, paid for them, and then left with a smile on his face.
That's tough on the people who come after him.
"Oh, the boss is gone?"
"No way! I couldn't buy any yesterday, and I still can't buy any today! This is killing me!"
"Boss, boss, have pity on this kid! I haven't even had dinner yet, I was just waiting for your steamed buns, how could they sell out so quickly!"
"Boss, I want to eat steamed buns. I'm not leaving until I get them!"
"......"
Some people left disappointed when they heard that the product was sold out.
Some, however, were still unwilling to give up and clung to Lin Zhou's tricycle, crying and begging for steamed buns.
Hearing the background noise, the bald man, who hadn't gone far, suddenly felt that the steamed bun in his hand was delicious even before he had eaten it.
He opened the plastic bag, bent down, and took a bite of the hot bun.
The bun's dough is incredibly soft, and the meat filling is delicious. One bite is bursting with meat and juice.
The meat filling contains both lean and fatty meat, and the aroma of oil and fat fills the mouth. The texture is not dry like pure lean meat, but rather very delicate and oily. In addition to the meat, there is also the aroma of scallions, which prevents the meat filling from being too greasy. All that remains in the mouth is a mellow fragrance.
The bald man was utterly astonished, looking down at the large meat bun in his hand.
