She quickly grabbed the rest, looking anxious.
"No! I'm not full yet!"
The boy who received a soup dumpling quickly stuffed it into his mouth in full view of everyone!
The ultra-thin skin melts in your mouth with just a touch, and the rich, meaty broth rushes to stimulate your taste buds. Occasionally, you bite into a crisp water chestnut, giving you an even better texture experience!
In order to prevent others from having any more chance to snatch the food from her mouth, Zhou Li ate it all in one go, swallowing it whole.
She smacked her lips, feeling like she hadn't had enough, when the school bell rang, and she had to quickly drink her soy milk.
Unexpectedly, the simple soy milk brought her unexpected joy. Fortunately, no one could take it from her, so she could fully enjoy the incredibly fragrant and delicious experience it provided.
Throughout the class, the smell emanating from the desk compartment was irritating to Zhou Li, and her chair felt like it was infested with insects, making it impossible for her to sit still; she kept twisting and turning on it.
Her deskmate was also drawn in, his gaze fixed on her desk drawer, swallowing hard.
Zhou Li couldn't resist her desires any longer. Taking advantage of the teacher turning around, she reached in and opened the bag. The sound of the plastic bag opening attracted the attention of the people around her, and they all looked at her.
Zhou Li didn't pay attention; her eyes were fixed on the char siu bun in her hand. Her deskmate was staring at her with pleading eyes, and was begging in a deliberately low voice:
"Lili, please give me just a little bit, just a tiny bit to taste—"
She raised her thumb and forefinger to touch, and Zhou Li recalled how they used to share snacks when they were classmates. She gritted her teeth and gave her a third of her snacks.
The two of them secretly ate in class, taking a bite when the teacher turned around and another bite when they looked down at their books.
Unfortunately, the teacher on stage had already noticed their odd behavior. The two girls looked silly, and their pretentious attempts to listen attentively to the lesson were particularly noticeable.
The math teacher gave a question and called on two students on the spot. The two students were busy eating and didn't pay much attention for half the class, so they couldn't answer it.
The teacher didn't intend to make things difficult for them, and gestured for them to wipe their mouths before letting them sit down.
The two were extremely embarrassed, realizing that the teacher had seen their behavior, and dared not continue to act recklessly.
"Ring ring—get out of class is over—"
The two relaxed and began to eat heartily without any restraint. A large group of people surrounded Zhou Li's seat, and the lucky ones were able to get a little bit from her.
During a break between classes, Zhou Li finished all her breakfast. She frowned, her face showing surprise: "Oh no! I ate all my lunch too!"
The students all inquired about her breakfast stall and made a pact to eat those delicious steamed buns the next day!
She comforted herself: [I can go buy it again at noon; my sister should still have some, right?]
"It's gone! It's gone—"
"Everyone, stop queuing! We're sold out for today!"
Before nine o'clock, Su Bai shouted at the top of his lungs to the customers behind him.
They had both eaten breakfast by six o'clock, but after a busy morning, they were hungry again.
After the people who bought breakfast left, there was still not enough porridge left to sell. Tao Zhizhi packed it up and ate it herself, then took out the soy milk buns that she had saved for Su Bai in advance and handed them to her.
——
"Secretary Gu, have you found a flaw?"
Secretary Gu took out the documents that Chairman Fu had submitted to him and handed them to Fu Jue.
This document was provided by a competitor who was an insider in the branch office. As soon as Fu Jue landed, he sent people to investigate, and the results matched the contents of the document perfectly, and were even worse.
"Smack—"
Fu Jue angrily slammed the document on the table. The atmosphere in the office was somber, and his face was grave. This matter was much more troublesome than he had imagined.
"Call a meeting immediately! First, send away his close relatives who bribe superiors and oppress subordinates!"
Secretary Gu took out another document and hurriedly notified all departments to hold a meeting.
——
After resting for a short while, Tao Zhizhi and her partner continued selling lunch.
"One hundred million? Can I move the porridge to the lunch menu?"
Tao Zhizhi then realized that the menu for the regular meals at the store had not been changed. Most of the customers who ate breakfast were rushing to work and usually did not choose to drink porridge, so the portion of preserved egg and lean pork porridge was not prepared in large quantities.
If a thousand servings of preserved egg and lean pork congee are to be sold within a week, 143 servings need to be sold each day. Today, only fifty servings were sold, which is far below expectations.
"Sure, but you have to start selling before 11:00 AM. If it's after 11:00 AM, it won't be counted as breakfast!"
Tao Zhizhi nodded thoughtfully and added the century egg and lean pork congee to the food delivery platform, with a limit of one hundred servings.
The dedicated takeout group chat for Nuanshi Xiaopu (暖食小铺) already has over a hundred members, and it was only managed to stay under control because the group members were closely guarding their treasure trove of a shop.
However, 80% of the customers are employees of Tianyi Group. The two departments next door knew that the one that often smelled of fragrance was the marketing department, but when they sent someone to ask them, they refused to say. The hidden shop was discovered by their observant colleagues.
Warm Food Shop thus became the takeout canteen for employees of Tianyi on the 21st floor.
Guo Qiang refreshed the shop at 10 o'clock as usual and saw that there were hundreds of servings of the new century egg and lean pork congee!
"One hundred servings! Only twelve yuan each! The boss has finally made takeout that I can afford to buy by myself!!!"
Guo Qiang exclaimed excitedly, quickly attracting the attention of his colleagues who were working diligently nearby.
"It's actually true! Qiangzi, I'm not going to share an order with you today. After eating so much rich food, it's time for some light porridge and side dishes!"
Li Lei was short of money recently and didn't know how to tell Guo Qiang that he wanted to eat in the cafeteria instead of ordering takeout. The boss's new century egg and lean pork congee solved his problem.
The employees on the 21st floor saw the group chat message and quickly placed orders, fearing that they wouldn't even be able to grab one of the hundred portions!
In less than ten minutes, today's takeout orders were sold out again!
Seeing this, Tao Zhizhi sped up her work and cooked the porridge before the deliveryman arrived.
"Hey, your family has served porridge!"
Regular customers who arrived early pointed to the menu and asked Su Bai for confirmation.
"Yes, this is the nutritious porridge we sold this morning, and it's only available until 11 a.m.
The regular customer smiled knowingly and laughed heartily, "Then I'm in luck! Give me one, please."
He touched the small amount of money he had saved for his meal and muttered contentedly:
"Looks like I can save some money today and eat it tomorrow!"
Customers who arrive before 11 a.m. have almost never eaten the breakfast sold by Tao Zhizhi in the morning. They are interested in the unusually cheap century egg and lean pork congee on the menu and will order a bowl as their breakfast!
Later customers weren't so lucky; the porridge had already been removed by the time they arrived.
"Ring ring—"
"Zhou Li! Wait a minute, can we go with you to buy steamed buns?"
