Chapter 30 Meow meow meow
Jian Yunlan wore a raincoat and rode a tricycle to the vegetable market.
Because of the rain, there were indeed fewer stalls in the vegetable market, and many bosses who used to supply goods to Jian Yunlan did not set up their stalls.
However, as soon as he entered the market, a figure in a bright yellow raincoat jumped up happily, waving his hands happily and calling him: "Boss Jian, Boss Jian!"
It’s Tong Ling.
"Good morning," Jian Yunlan saw an acquaintance and rode his tricycle to her, stopped, and asked with concern, "It's raining so hard, why are you still here to set up a stall? Is school okay?"
Tong Ling waved her hand: "It's still in time, it's still in time."
She has put on her new school uniform and a brand new raincoat. She looks refreshed, cheerful and lively. She stretched out her hand to call Jian Yunlan over. When Jian Yunlan came closer, she squatted down and uncovered the things covered with plastic sheet on the stall:
A large basket of potatoes.
Jian Yunlan's eyes lit up.
——Literally, my eyes lit up. The basket of red-skinned potatoes in front of me had a hard skin and very few spots. With the blessing of the Eye of the God of Cooking, it was actually flashing with a faint golden light.
Extra-premium potatoes!
This was the first time that Jian Yunlan had seen premium ingredients. The golden light alone gave people a very high-end feeling.
In fact, in Jian Yunlan's eyes, there was a label floating on the potato:
[※※Special potatoes (one star): Super delicious red-skinned and yellow-hearted potatoes, suitable for grilling, stewing, frying and stir-frying. When you see such good potatoes, why don’t you grab them quickly? 】
High-quality ingredients are already incredibly delicious, so Jian Yunlan didn’t dare to imagine how delicious these special-grade ingredients would be.
When the chef saw the high-quality ingredients, it was like a hungry wolf seeing raw meat. Jian Yunlan hugged the potatoes and refused to let go, and a strange and greedy green light flashed in his eyes.
That look scared Tong Ling: "..."
Boss Jian, so scary!
Jian Yunlan swallowed, tried to regain some consciousness, and said:
"Xiaoling, I want all these potatoes. How much are they? Just tell me a number. I will buy them even if I have to sell everything I have or borrow money at high interest rates."
This premium potato must be expensive. Even if it costs ten thousand yuan per potato, Jian Yunlan must get it!
Tong Ling smiled and waved her hand: "No need for money, Boss Jian, I'll give it to you for free."
Jian Yunlan has helped her family so much. With the help of Jian Yunlan's popularity on the Internet, their sauerkraut has been selling like hot cakes and they have basically achieved self-sufficiency. They no longer need to get up early and go to the vegetable market to set up a stall every day.
The sauerkraut business was left to her grandfather and relatives. Tong Ling only needed to deal with the online store affairs occasionally, so she could have more time to concentrate on her studies. Her dream of being admitted to Kyoto University seemed not so far away.
Today, Tong Ling did not come to sell vegetables, but came specifically to wait for Jian Yunlan.
A relative who was farming in the countryside came to live with them and brought this basket of potatoes. Tong Ling knew at first glance that these were good potatoes and that Boss Jian would definitely like them.
Tong Ling has nothing else to offer to repay Boss Jian, so she'll give him this basket of potatoes as a small token of her gratitude!
Jian Yunlan really didn't expect that he would be so lucky today. First, Aunt Ning came to deliver chili sauce, and then Tong Ling delivered premium potatoes? Did the two of them agree to give him a surprise?
Although Tong Ling repeatedly emphasized that she didn't want to take the money, Jian Yunlan still forced five hundred yuan on her.
To be honest, potatoes of this quality are priceless, and even if he was offered 500 yuan, Jian Yunlan would still be getting a huge bargain.
Carrying a basket full of potatoes and other ingredients, Jian Yunlan returned to the villa happily. He couldn't wait to start cooking. Imagining the satisfied expressions of the diners when they ate the potato fried rice, Jian Yunlan felt extremely happy and excited.
Walking into the kitchen, Jian Yunlan began to prepare the ingredients.
The skin of the potatoes is smooth and delicate, with a rosy color, revealing a faint earthy fragrance with a hint of rain. Although she had the blessing of full-level cooking skills, Jian Yunlan still did not dare to be careless. She carefully washed off the dirt on the surface of the potatoes, then peeled off the skin to reveal the light yellow potatoes inside.
Jian Yunlan picked out a good knife and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces on the chopping board. In another large pot of hot water, add some salt, and when the water boils, Jian Yunlan put the potatoes in and cook for three minutes, then remove from the water and drain.
In this way, the potatoes are processed.
The cooked potatoes soften slightly around the edges, take on a warm, pale yellow color, and emit a light steam.
The more Jian Yunlan looked at it, the more she liked it.
The other ingredients were easy to prepare as he was already very skilled at them. After everything was prepared, Jian Yunlan loaded the ingredients onto the tricycle and carefully laid a waterproof sheet on it.
Set up the stall!
Just as he was about to ride his tricycle out, someone stopped him.
"Wait." Taotie came out holding a laptop. His silver hair was loosely draped over his shoulders, and there was a hint of blue-black under his eyes. His handsome appearance was tinged with a bit of decadence.
Taotie: "Human, does your report really need to be 2,000 words long, not a single word less?"
Jian Yunlan: "..."
He just said it casually, who knew Taotie took it seriously!
I'm a little sweaty.
Once upon a time, he was the person who was pressured by his leader to write reports every day. Not only did he have to rack his brains to get the enough words, but he also had to sort out the format and revise it over and over again. Sometimes after submitting it, the report would be sent back for rewriting.
Unexpectedly, I became the dragon slayer and eventually became the dragon.
"Well, it's not impossible to be flexible." Jian Yunlan said with a wandering gaze.
Taotie stared at him intently, his eyes gradually filled with suspicion: "Make some concessions? What do you mean?"
Why does this sound weird?
Taotie had never written what humans called a 'report', but thinking that Jian Yunlan would prepare a full banquet for him, Taotie felt endless motivation again.
He has been working all day and all night to write this report.
Will this human being find another excuse to approve it back at that time?
The ancient ferocious beast felt the collapse of the social animals in the human world.
"Human, how dare you play tricks on me?!"
Taotie approached Jian Yunlan, looked down at him, his silver hair fluttering in the wind. Taotie leaned very close to Jian Yunlan, covering her in his shadow, so close that Jian Yunlan could smell the light scent of sandalwood on him.
Taotie narrowed his golden eyes tightly and looked at Jian Yunlan.
I didn't notice before, but this person has very long eyelashes, like bird feathers, and the tails of his eyes droop slightly, giving him a harmless pair of puppy eyes.
But those seemingly innocent puppy eyes are always thinking of some bad ideas.
The great Taotie was fooled around!
Taotie was so angry that his teeth were itching. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch Jian Yunlan's cheek, lifting the corners of his eyes upwards.
What innocent dog eyes? They are obviously cunning fox eyes.
Sure enough, the fox's blue eyes rolled around and he had another bad idea.
Jian Yunlan blinked and said to Taotie, "Well, you write first and hand in the 2,000-word report. I will give you a reply within five working days. Is that okay?"
Taotie: “…”
Taotie looked at him doubtfully: "In five days, we can have a full banquet, right?"
Jian Yunlan looked like a seasoned veteran and said skillfully:
"As for the specific situation, I will make a scientific and careful judgment. Hey, you need to cooperate with me at that time. Then it's not that I won't do it, but I will tell you how to do it and how to implement it. You can find a way to achieve a result that satisfies both of us, right?"
Taotie: “???”
Taotie's brain was confused by all this nonsense, as if a pair of hands had pulled out all his brain cells and reflex arcs, tying them into a knot.
Taking advantage of the moment when Taotie was frozen, Jian Yunlan immediately got on the tricycle and rode away: "Then you get some gas first, I'm going to set up the stall, and we'll talk about other things when I come back!"
Taotie: "Wait, please explain yourself clearly——"
But the back of Jian Yunlan riding the tricycle had already disappeared into the rain like a roller coaster.
.
8:30 in the morning, downstairs of Yuanzhou Group.
It was not yet nine o'clock, Jian Yunlan's tricycle had not arrived yet, and it was still raining, but it was not an exaggeration to say that there were crowds of people here.
The most eye-catching thing was the joining forces of the fans who were attracted by the paparazzi live broadcast yesterday, or who became fans after watching the video online, and the members of the Jingda Wonton Boss Fan Club. They held up light signs with words like 'Boss Jian (love) debuted on the spot (love)' and 'Wonton~Fried Rice~' written in large letters.
Ye Ming, the president of the fan club and a junior student at the School of Mechanical Engineering of Peking University, is the leader of this group of people. She wears a T-shirt with Jian Yunlan's photo printed on it, holds a light board, and her bag contains Jian Yunlan's Q-version fan, doll peripherals, babaji, etc. She is a beautiful sight in the crowd.
Because Ye Ming had first-hand photos of Jian Yunlan when she was selling things at a stall in Beijing, people kept coming to her to buy various peripherals, and her business was very booming. When the rain got heavier, Ye Ming also started handing out umbrellas with Jian Yunlan's photo printed on them for free:
"There are still many umbrellas, everyone come one by one, don't crowd!" "Let's join the Wonton Cult~ There are handsome guys and delicious food~ It's worth joining~" "Join the Cult now and get free stuff!"
Everyone: “…”
How exaggerated!
A passerby glanced over here casually and immediately burst into a cry of "What the hell" : "What the hell is this?! Is there a star holding a concert here?!"
The people who were traveling with him were also shocked and took a closer look:
"They seem to be waiting for a...snack stand?"
This is no longer a snack stand!
In addition to the fan club, there were also a few mysterious figures wearing black windbreakers at the scene. These people were all sent by major brokerage companies. They searched through all the information but couldn't find Jian Yunlan's contact information. They could only use the simplest method: wait directly at the place where Jian Yunlan set up his stall.
These agents, who were usually fierce competitors, were now eyeing each other warily, refusing to give in and looking at each other vigilantly.
As for the diners who were already queuing at the fried rice stall, they were a little uncomfortable.
Lin Tianqiu was originally a bit socially anxious. Although Boss Jian's business was very popular before, today's popularity has directly increased by an order of magnitude. Many people asked him: "Hey, you are an old customer here, right? What kind of fried rice did Boss Jian sell before? Is it delicious?"
Lin Tianqiu, who was forced to talk to many people, showed a fragile smile: I am not dead :)
The snack stand owners were fine, as the crowds also brought unexpected business. Everyone was tired of lining up, so they would buy some pancakes, buns, fried dough sticks, etc. nearby. But as soon as it was half past eight, the owners, led by Wu Qiuhuo, quickly hung up signs announcing they were temporarily closed and seamlessly blended into the queue.
Business is business, but it can’t delay eating fried rice!
Diner: “?”
As for Ming Ruogui, she simply stopped pretending. Since everyone knows that she is a foodie, why should she pretend? Ming Ruogui was wearing comfortable sportswear and had her long black hair tied up.
What’s even more rare is that even though Ming Ruogui, a top celebrity, is here, there isn’t a single paparazzi around.
——Because of the love affair revealed in the last live broadcast, many paparazzi have had a hard time recently. They are in dire straits themselves, so how can they dare to mess with Ming Ruogui, a big Buddha!
Everyone has seen what happened to the last paparazzi who dared to do this.
Therefore, Ming Ruogui felt much more at ease. She didn't even put on much makeup when she came here. She focused on looking natural, with a natural beauty without any embellishment.
Of course, although there were no paparazzi, the curiosity of the people around was inevitable. Some people watched the video online and joked when they saw Ming Ruogui:
"Sister Ming, are you going to kneel down and kowtow to Boss Jian to be your private chef again?"
Ming Ruogui opened her eyes wide: "How can you slander someone's innocence like this..."
"What innocence? I saw it with my own eyes a few days ago. You sat on the ground and begged Boss Jian. You cried so loudly and it was so embarrassing."
Ming Ruogui's face turned red, and she kept saying something like "She just hugged his thighs and begged in a pitiful and beautiful manner, but she didn't kneel down and kowtow!", and "Eating fried rice is not shameful", followed by some difficult to understand words like "zhihuzheya" and "fried rice is so delicious".
Onlookers: “…”
What Kong Yiji.
Ming Ruogui came, and Bei Shi naturally came as well.
The young couple Zhang Mo and Bei Shi were preparing for their wedding while lining up diligently. Looking at the huge crowds of people around them, they were terrified.
Not for any other reason, just because... there are so many younger classmates here!
Peking University is about an hour away from here by subway. How come all these people are here! How exaggerated is Boss Jian’s charm!
Zhang Mo and Bei Shi are both graduates of Peking University. In fact, they first met each other at Peking University. Their romance, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, was once a legend at Kyoto University. The two were even invited to visit the school as representatives of outstanding students.
However, meeting so many junior students here, the filter of them as high-class seniors was shattered in an instant.
In public, they are an excellent academic couple, a key employee of a large company and a gold medal agent, but in reality... they are two office workers who have been devastated by life and can only get a little comfort from fried rice every day QAQ
Zhang Mo and Bei Shi both quietly put on masks and lowered their umbrellas, not wanting to be recognized.
But someone still recognized it.
For example, Li Yun and Tan Tingting, they were sharp-eyed and immediately spotted Bei Shi:
"Ah! Senior Bei Shi!!! Do you remember us? We added each other on WeChat when we gave a speech at school. We admire you so much that you have become a top agent in just a few years and have created a top female star like Ming Ruogui. You are amazing!"
"You are here to queue up for Boss Jian too!"
Tan Tingting was full of fantasies about a gold medal agent like Bei Shi. She thought that she must be dressed in a smart suit, have exquisite makeup, be decisive and swift, and exude the aura of a strong woman who has the final say.
But the Bei Shi in front of her was a little different from what she had imagined.
He was wearing loose sportswear and glasses, holding a round fan with Jian Yunlan's photo printed on it to cover his face, and his eyes were evasive.
Bei Shi: “…”
Boss Jian, please come quickly.
If you don’t come, I’m going to break! ! !
Even in this huge crowd, Ning Sheng stood out. He stood in the rain holding a transparent umbrella, his whole body enveloped in the sunlight, like a tall tree.
Many people looked sideways:
"So handsome!" "Will such a handsome guy also fall for fried rice?" "I feel that he is as handsome as Boss Jian..."
Ning Sheng's temperament is still rather cold, but she doesn't seem lonely.
Around him were Li Mingxi and other friends from the School of Computer Science. The boys naturally gathered around him, chatting and laughing. Occasionally, Ning Sheng would be mentioned, and Ning Sheng would also say a word or two. When he spoke, the indifferent aura that kept people at a distance faded away, and he seemed lively.
A girl next to him blushed, secretly looked at him for a long time, and pricked up her ears to listen to what he said.
Ning Sheng only smiled faintly and said, "You guys are so bad at playing games, don't ask me to play games with you. I feel embarrassed and it will affect my mood for eating fried rice."
girl:"……"
Why is her character different from the cold and beautiful woman she imagined?
In that long line, Ning Sheng was standing very close to the front, almost at the very front of the line.
——Under Li Mingxi's strenuous persuasion, Ning Sheng reluctantly gave up his plan to set out at 10 pm to queue all night, but even so, he still caught the first subway at 5 am, arriving earlier than everyone else.
You have to be extra careful and serious.
He couldn't take the slightest risk of not having fried rice!
Although, Boss Jian’s stall was located downstairs of Yuanzhou Group, which made Ning Sheng feel a little uncomfortable.
Yuanzhou Group, just hearing these four words, many unbearable memories came to my mind.
The office on the top floor, the city visible from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Gu Xingzhou with crazy eyes, and the handcuffs clamping his hands...
Once upon a time, Ning Sheng would vomit reflexively just by thinking of that name.
But it's different now.
Now, the situation of his mother and grandmother is getting better. Because of Boss Jian’s wontons, he has friends, his own life, and is being pulled into the sunshine little by little. The continuous rain in his life has stopped.
Now that he has been exposed to the sun, he will not compromise again and will not allow anyone to drag him back to that dark and damp room and restrict his growth.
Even if she sees Gu Xingzhou again, Ning Sheng will not be afraid and will not retreat.
For Jian Yunlan's fried rice, he was willing to queue anywhere, even downstairs of Yuanzhou Group.
Moreover, he was no longer afraid of Gu Xingzhou. He even felt his teeth itching when he thought of these three words.
Ning Sheng has already thought it through.
...If he sees Gu Xingzhou again, he will definitely slap him twice in the face!
Then left hook, right hook, and sweep kick!
The most important thing is to kick the opponent in the crotch!
Ning Sheng smiled and clenched his fists a little tighter.
Li Mingxi trembled: "..."
Ning Shen's expression was so scary, it felt like he was thinking about some horrific plan of humane destruction.
I don’t know who the unlucky guy targeted by Ning Shen is.
In short, let’s observe a moment of silence for him, Amen.
Because Ning Sheng arrived very early and lined up very close to the front, he did not see Gu Xingzhou, who was standing in the middle of the line and was fully armed.
In order to eat fried rice, Gu Xingzhou made full preparations this time.
Not only did he call on several of his capable subordinates and make a comprehensive plan, but he also disguised himself to ensure that no one would recognize him - not even his biological father would be able to see through this disguise and snatch his hard-earned fried rice from him!
"Boss Gu...Oh no, ahem, Xiao Zhou," the secretary coughed under Gu Xingzhou's sharp eyes and said in a low voice, "Five minutes left, and it will be ready soon."
At this time, the time had come to eight fifty-five.
Based on the data from the past few days, they made a rigorous report, which used statistical charts to analyze Jian Yunlan's stall opening hours, expected customer flow, average sell-out time, etc.
Analysis shows that Jian Yunlan is very punctual in setting up his stall every day, basically at exactly nine o'clock, with an error of no more than one minute.
Even Gu Xingzhou's current position has been carefully analyzed by a professional team.
Not early, not late, exactly fifty!
It won’t be as eye-catching as the first one, nor will you miss the opportunity to eat fried rice because it is too far back. It is the least eye-catching in the middle. After disguising yourself, there will be no risk of being discovered by acquaintances.
Yeah, perfect.
Gu Xingzhou nodded with satisfaction.
These capable subordinates that he hired at such a high cost are not here to work for free.
So, time passed by minute by minute, and soon, amid everyone's extremely expectant and nervous gaze, the figure riding the tricycle came towards the light!
"He's coming, he's coming, ahhhh!"
"Boss Jian, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for so long!"
"Boss Jian, long time no see QvQ"
"What kind of fried rice is it today? I'm ready~"
Hundreds and thousands of people rushed over like a zombie siege, and many of them enthusiastically reached out to grab his car. Before Jian Yunlan even reached her stall, she was blocked by a crowd of people.
Finally, Ming Ruogui stepped forward and commanded the order with extraordinary momentum, and the crowd reluctantly made way for each other.
"Why are there so many people here today?" Jian Yunlan also opened his eyes wide, a little shocked. He only sold a hundred copies, so there must be at least a thousand people here, right?
Because she doesn't pay attention to things on the Internet, Jian Yunlan is still unaware of her popularity.
Jian Yunlan announced: "Today we have spicy potato fried rice, limited to 100 servings."
Ning Sheng, who was at the front of the line, immediately scanned the code and paid. He was still thinking about Gu Xingzhou with a gloomy face in the last second, but his expression changed in the next second, with sparkling eyes, like a puppy in the rain:
"Hello, Mr. Jian. I'm an old customer. I've peeled shrimp for you before. Can you give me an extra portion?"
Li Mingxi: “Ning Shen you——” You want to cheat again!
Ning Sheng: "Shut up."
Li Mingxi: “…”
Jian Yunlan looked at Ning Sheng for a long while, recognized him, and said happily: "I remember you! And my classmates... Did you all come from Beijing University? It's so far, you must have had a hard time."
Hearing this, the students from Kyoto University all around them suddenly felt as if they were bathed in spring breeze and covered their faces shyly.
He is so nice.
He has us in his heart!
Is there anything happier than this? !
"Each person is limited to one purchase." Jian Yunlan said regretfully in response to Ning Sheng's inquiry.
"But," he patted his chest and assured, "I will feed everyone well, don't worry!"
Ace Breeder.jpg
The students from Kyoto University blinked in a trance, as if they saw holy light from him.
As he spoke, Jian Yunlan heated up the iron pan, poured in some oil, and added a handful of garlic.
In the hot oil, the minced garlic was quickly fried until fragrant, and the rich garlic aroma continued to rise with the heat. The sausage was soon slid into the pot. The bright red sausage, which was half fat and half lean, was fried until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Then, Jian Yunlan spread out a large bowl full of potatoes. The potatoes had smooth surfaces, soft edges, and a beautiful light yellow color. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these were high-quality potatoes.
Then, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the potatoes were quickly fried until golden and oily, sizzling and revealing an extremely tempting luster...
