Chapter 209 Meow Meow Meow
At seven o'clock in the evening, the campus of University A was crowded with people.
It was just as night was falling, and the street lights at the school gate gradually lit up, illuminating many young faces. The Chinese New Year had just passed and many students had just returned to school. After a day of classes, many students were exhausted and just wanted to eat something to fill their stomachs.
Li Jiayi is also one of them.
"I'm so hungry. How about we go to the third canteen to get something to eat?" Li Jiayi touched his empty stomach and looked at his roommate Han Qiuqiu and discussed with him.
Hearing the words "Third Canteen", Han Qiuqiu's eyes, which had been numb from a day of torture in advanced math classes, now had a hint of death in them:
"Haha, after a day of classes, you let me eat the pig food of watermelon fried spicy noodles in the third cafeteria, then I might as well just die!!!"
Li Jiayi: “…” That’s right.
The food in the cafeteria is terrible, the restaurants outside are too far and they are too lazy to walk, and the takeaway delivery takes at least 40 minutes, and they can't wait that long.
After much deliberation, the two of them finally decided to go to the South Gate Snack Street for a meal.
"The snack street near our school is too boring. It's the same old things over and over again: barbecue, stinky tofu, and spicy hot pot. They're all made with advanced technology. I'm tired of them." Han Qiuqiu complained.
"It's good to have something to eat." Li Jiayi shook her head helplessly.
As they were talking, the two had already reached the south gate.
The South Gate is much busier today than usual. Looking around, it is packed with people, and the queues are so crowded that no one can move. Looking closely, it seemed that so many people were queuing in front of a snack stall.
Li Jiayi and Han Qiuqiu were very confused:
"What kind of activity is this?"
"What kind of food stall can attract so many people to line up?"
Han Qiuqiu looked at the long queue, rubbed his hungry stomach, and began to back out:
"There are too many people. How about we change..."
I haven't finished talking yet.
The two saw from afar that in front of the tricycle snack stand, the owner opened the lid of the huge soup pot.
——In an instant, along with the rising mist, a rich and mellow aroma of chicken soup spread!
The South Gate is a wind vent, and the aroma of the chicken soup is carried by the wind to every corner and drifts across everyone's nose.
It was the early spring when the weather was still cold. People had just taken off their heavy coats, but were hit by the sudden cold snap. Walking on the street in the evening, the cold wind blew on their faces, and their hands and feet felt cold and uncomfortable.
The aroma of the warm and delicious chicken soup makes many people unconsciously fantasize. At this time, how comfortable it would be if they could have such a bowl of hot and delicious chicken soup and eat a few tender, salty and fragrant wontons!
People couldn't help but stop and start looking for the source of the fragrance.
Li Jiayi and Han Qiuqiu looked at each other.
That fragrance was clearly coming from the snack stand not far away with a long queue!
Almost in an instant, the two of them made up their minds.
Li Jiayi: "Will you queue?"
"Plate!" Han Qiuqiu said firmly.
What's wrong with being hungry? It doesn’t matter if she’s hungry for a while. If she misses such delicious food, she will never forgive herself in her life!
After making up their minds, the two immediately walked towards the snack stand, joined the lively queue and lined up.
They hadn't noticed it just now when they were watching from the side, but now they suddenly realized the strangeness of the queue of diners at this snack stand:
"...Great, there are so many handsome guys!" Li Jiayi widened her eyes and squeezed Han Qiuqiu's hand excitedly.
Han Qiuqiu also discovered it.
Although there are many ordinary students and workers like them in the team, there are more handsome guys with different temperaments and appearances, but they are particularly eye-catching when standing in the crowd.
Han Qiuqiu and Li Jiayi looked around excitedly. They were too embarrassed to say it out loud, but the comments in their hearts were already deafening:
——For example, the young man in the front, wearing a simple white shirt, with a handsome and upright figure, his face is so handsome, and the teardrop mole at the end of his eye makes him look like the protagonist of the novel himself!
——And that one, the guy next to him, dressed in a suit and tie, with dark and cold eyes, looks like a domineering president who controls the lifeline of the global economy!
——Did you see the pair of brothers on the left? Both of them have great figures. One is cheerful and cute, the other is gentle and handsome. Aren’t they a perfect pair of brothers? !
——The man on the right holding his son looks so gentle and handsome, his looks are simply ceiling-level, he is the beautiful and gentle protagonist in the child-bearing articles himself, and the way he looks at the snack stand owner is as if he is looking at his own promising son!
——And that handsome guy wearing a post-apocalyptic wasteland-style cloak, is he cosplaying?
——Did you see the couple at the back? They both have long hair, wear Taoist robes and have jade pendants on their waists, like they are in a TV drama...
...What Li Jiayi and Han Qiuqiu didn't realize was that in addition to the people already queuing in the line, there were a steady stream of people appearing in other corners. They were wearing all kinds of costumes, from ancient times, modern times, and the future. It was as if they were traveling through time and space. They walked out of the translucent doors that opened out of thin air and joined the queue with excitement on their faces.
People from various planes looked at each other. Since they were all Boss Jian's audience or diners, many of them chatted casually with each other in a few words:
"Which dimension are you from? Come and queue up for Boss Jian too!"
"Brother, I'm a mercenary from the Doomsday Plane. I failed to grab the porridge before, woooo!"
"You didn't get any of the many bowls of porridge in the Doomsday Plane? Just practice more on vegetables. Our "Genius Baby Three and a Half Years Old" is recognized as a hell-level difficulty, and we only have 20 roast ducks every day..."
"Hey, don't mention it. We are lucky to be able to stand here! Didn't you hear that the modern plane where Boss Jian is located received hundreds of billions of tourist applications from tourists from other planes overnight yesterday. It was almost overwhelmed. Now the flow is limited. Those who apply later can't come."
“Hehe, to be honest, I came here illegally.” A chubby man in a bright yellow robe with a medicine gourd hanging around his waist scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “There’s nothing I can do. There are too few places in our Shanhai Plane.”
"We also came here illegally." Many people also raised their hands weakly.
"I also……"
Although the Ten Thousand Worlds have urgently issued a restriction order, the audience and diners from each plane are too enthusiastic. People have tried their best to line up in front of Boss Jian’s snack stand by crossing thousands of mountains and rivers - even if they can’t buy food, it’s good to meet him in real life!
This leads to.
The queues in front of the snack stands are getting longer and longer, and getting more and more exaggerated...
“…”
Li Jiayi looked at the line behind her that continued to grow at a terrifying speed, and couldn't help but pat her chest, thankfully saying, "Luckily we were decisive. If we had lined up a few minutes later, we would definitely not be able to eat!"
Han Qiuqiu was still looking around at the diners curiously.
There are so many people with distinct personalities, they don’t even seem to be from the same dimension, but they are all lining up in front of this snack stand.
What is the charm of this snack stand?
Also, who is this boss who can run such a popular snack stand?
The little flames of curiosity in Han Qiuqiu and Li Jiayi's hearts burned even brighter.
The line was too long, and there were a lot of handsome guys about 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall lined up in front. Even if Han Qiuqiu and Li Jiayi stood on tiptoe, it was difficult to see the scene at the front of the snack stand.
Suddenly, Li Jiayi hit his head and came up with an idea:
"How about this, you ride on my shoulders, I'll hold you up, and you hold up your phone to take a picture of the snack stand owner, okay?"
Li Jiayi has loved sports since she was a child. She even participated in a national weightlifting competition in high school. She did not slack off even after entering college. She went to the gym every week and it was more than enough for her to lift Han Qiuqiu.
Han Qiuqiu was also a little itchy and agreed immediately.
So, Li Jiayi squatted down and let Han Qiuqiu ride on her shoulders.
Han Qiuqiu also immediately raised her phone and observed curiously:
On the crowded streets, under the warm yellow light of a tricycle, a huge soup pot was emitting billowing steam. A layer of golden oil was bubbling on the surface of the soup, dotted with seaweed and chives. Firm wontons were floating in it, and the translucent wonton skin was wrapped with tender meat filling, which made people's appetite grow.
A cute little girl was standing at the front of the snack stand, running around helping out at the stall. She looked around with a pair of mischievous eyes, as if thinking about how to steal food. There was also a simple and honest middle-aged man in cloth shorts. He was rather taciturn and just silently helped people serve tea and water, and pass tableware and tissues.
Standing behind the snack stand was a young man wearing a floral apron. His raven eyelashes drooped gently, and his pupils were so dark that they looked blue. He was busy holding a spoon to serve soup while enthusiastically greeting customers.
Next to the boss stood a tall, handsome man with silver hair. The handsome man had a cold face and stared at the team absent-mindedly with his dark golden pupils. He stood there like a guardian angel, and all those who were eager to cut in line immediately dared not to do so.
The handsome silver-haired guy spoke coldly, speaking in a slightly stiff voice that was totally inconsistent with his handsome image: "Fragrant and hot chicken soup wontons, ten yuan for new customers and free for old customers."
Hearing this, the boss laughed instantly, looked at the handsome silver-haired guy with curved eyes, and said something jokingly.
The two looked at each other.
“……!!!”
As if she saw something, Han Qiuqiu suddenly covered her mouth and pinched Li Jiayi's shoulder excitedly.
Li Jiayi: “???”
Han Qiuqiu was so excited that she couldn't speak, she just pressed the record button with trembling hands.
The focused lens captured this scene with incredible clarity——
At dusk, at a busy snack stall on the city street, Hu Danggui was blinking his eyes and stealing wontons, while Niu Tou was helping to attract customers. There were many new and old faces in the queue. Everyone gathered in groups of three or four with their relatives, friends and loved ones, and lined up happily in front of the snack stalls.
There were so many guests coming from various dimensions that Jian Yunlan and Taotie were busy as hell. But even so, when they looked at each other and their eyes met, they couldn't help but smile.
...In the midst of the hustle and bustle of life, they simply exchanged a kiss.
The diners around burst into enthusiastic screams and applause!
Amid the blushing jeers, Jian Yunlan and Taotie held hands and announced sheepishly:
"Today's wontons are all free, unlimited, it's the boss' treat."
After a moment of silence.
The diners in front of the snack stalls were excited:
“Ahhhh great! Long live Boss Jian!! Long live Lord Taotie!!!”
"Boss Jian, I will follow you for the rest of my life—"
“Hahahahahaha!”
“…”
People's laughter blended into the lights of thousands of homes, and slowly swirled around the streets and alleys of the city with the gentle evening breeze, crossing the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, and across the eternal universe.
This is a most ordinary day.
