Chapter 69
Fans of Kangle Box Lunch were skeptical when they saw Gu Wangfeng’s comments.
Grand Slam Chong Chong Chong: [My friend, have you not eaten Kangle lunch boxes for a few days? You are missing Kangle lunch boxes so much that you are hallucinating. ]
Chuck-k: [Everyone is really crazy. This is already the fourth day that Boss Kang Le has been traveling. Boss Kang Le will be back tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, Kang Le Boxed Lunch will resume business.]
Miss Universe: [Hahahahahaha, just post a random dish and say it was made by Boss Kang Le, I can do that too. Look at me, this bowl of Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles was also made by Boss Kang Le.]
Don't ask me to attend a wedding banquet: [I'll have one too, fans of "Kangle Boxed Lunch", this is the pork chop rice made by your boss Chen, spicy and crispy, super delicious, do you want to try it? ]
Fenghuazhengmao: [Fans of "Kangle Boxed Lunch", this is the sweet and sour fish made by your boss Chen. It is spicy, sour and sweet, super delicious. Do you want to try it? ]
Next, every netizen used this sentence pattern to make a joke, and the screen was filled with delicious food made by Boss Chen.
Gu Wangfeng didn't expect his comment to be used as a joke. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's OK if you don't believe me. Anyway, I have Boss Chen's delicious food to eat, and you don't."
But then he thought, when Chen Kangle finishes his trip and returns, they, the netizens, will be able to eat Chen Kangle’s delicious food every day, but he may never have the chance to eat it again.
Gu Wangfeng began to feel a little sad. It would have been better if Chen Kangle had stayed on Gumi Island forever.
Xin Yunxi didn't come back until around nine o'clock in the evening.
Deng Shanchuan quickly brought out the seafood in sauce, "Brother, you're finally back. We left some delicious food for you."
Xin Yunxi was unlucky today. His car broke down and he was stuck in traffic. It took him a long time to get back to the B&B. While the car was being repaired, Xin Yunxi had already eaten outside. He was not hungry now. He did not expect Deng Shanchuan and the others to leave food for him.
"This is really delicious. Not just delicious, but super delicious." Deng Shanchuan started praising as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xin Yunxi asked: "Did you do this?"
Xin Yunxi was a little bit unconvinced of what Deng Shanchuan said. He remembered that Deng Shanchuan once made spicy crayfish, and he himself praised it highly, but the taste was so spicy that it almost made people die. Xin Yunxi didn't believe in Deng Shanchuan's cooking skills.
"Hahahaha, it wasn't me who made it this time." Deng Shanchuan knew that Xin Yunxi was worried about his cooking skills.
"This seafood in gravy was made by a beautiful guest of the B&B. This beautiful guest is the owner of a box restaurant in Hai City and her cooking skills are amazing." As he spoke, the sweet and sour smell of the seafood in gravy wafted out. Deng Shanchuan swallowed his saliva before continuing, "The seafood in gravy made by this beautiful boss is really delicious. Fengzi and I ate it just now. It was so delicious that we almost ate the portion reserved for you."
"Look how good I am to you. In front of such delicious food, I can resist eating it, just so that you can also taste this delicious food."
As he was talking, Deng Shanchuan was moved by himself. If it were someone else, they would definitely finish all the delicious seafood in front of them. The fact that he could hold back showed that he was really good to his brothers.
Deng Shanchuan kept praising and swallowing his saliva. Xin Yunxi began to take a little interest. He walked over and looked at the small seafood in the sauce on the plate. There were shrimps, squids, and conches...
There was a generous plate of small seafood in sauce, and then Xin Yunxi smelled a strong sweet and sour aroma, which instantly aroused his interest.
Xin Yunxi picked up a piece of squid with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste of the sauce instantly stimulated his taste buds and whetted his appetite. After taking a bite, the squid tasted crisp and sweet, and the freshness, spiciness, sweet and sour taste burst in his mouth at the same time, which was extremely sour and refreshing.
After eating the squid, Xin Yunxi picked up a conch. With a gentle suck, the snail meat came out, and the juice entered the mouth along with the snail meat. The moment the juice touched the tongue, the sour and sweet taste was conveyed to the taste buds, which were immediately captured.
Xin Yunxi was amazed by the taste of the flower snails, which were fresh and chewy, as if they were dancing in his mouth. The sweet and chewy flower snail meat was paired with the sour and sweet sauce, which was fresh but not fishy, and had an excellent taste.
If Xin Yunxi were asked to evaluate this seafood dish, the only two words that immediately came to his mind were: "Delicious!"
Seeing Xin Yunxi eating with gusto, Deng Shanchuan asked excitedly, "Is it delicious?"
Xin Yunxi nodded, "It tastes really good. The boss's cooking skills are really good."
Xin Yunxi has eaten a lot of seafood on Gumi Island. A lot of the seafood on the island is very delicious. Because the seafood on the island is very fresh, it tastes good no matter how it is cooked.
But none of them are as amazing as this seafood in sauce. The high-quality seafood on Gumi Island seems to have encountered the most suitable sauce for it. The seafood wrapped in the sauce brings out its most extreme freshness.
Deng Shanchuan: "Boss Chen is really amazing and beautiful. You came back late, otherwise you could have met Boss Chen in person just now. If there is a chance, I will introduce Boss Chen to you tomorrow."
Xin Yunxi, who was addicted to the small seafood in sauce, did not listen carefully to Deng Shanchuan's words, but savored the fresh, sweet, sour and spicy shrimp meat. Unconsciously, Xin Yunxi had finished all the seafood on the plate. Originally, he thought that he was not hungry and should not be able to eat so much, but the small seafood in sauce in front of him was not only delicious but also appetizing, which made him very hungry.
It was raining, there were car repairs and traffic jams. Xin Yunxi originally thought that today was going to be a very bad day. But he didn't expect to eat such delicious seafood in sauce when he came back in the evening. It seemed as if the previous bad luck was not a big deal.
After eating the seafood in sauce, Xin Yunxi's first reaction was that he wanted to eat it again next time. Just after hearing Deng Shanchuan say that the boss of the seafood in sauce opened a box lunch shop, Xin Yunxi asked: "Brother Chuan, where did the boss you mentioned open the box lunch shop?"
Xin Yunxi thought that if he had the chance, he could go to the store in person to taste the boss's craftsmanship.
Deng Shanchuan: "I heard it's in Haishi, which is too far away. It would be better if Boss Chen opened a store in Gumi Island."
As he spoke, Deng Shanchuan began to imagine the scene where Chen Kangle opened a lunch box restaurant on Gumi Island. He would be able to eat the delicious food made by Chen Kangle just by walking a few steps every day after getting up. The thought made him happy.
"Do you know the name of the box-eating rice restaurant opened by this boss?" Xin Yunxi thought that maybe one day when he went to Hai City, he could stop by this box-eating rice restaurant.
"It seems to be called Kangle lunch box."
It was Gu Wangfeng who told him that the name of the Heya Restaurant was after Chen Kangle.
"I heard that this Kangle lunch box restaurant is quite famous. You can find its address by searching online. And Fengzi said that this Kangle lunch box restaurant has many fans on the short video platform. It is a well-known internet celebrity lunch box restaurant in Haishi."
As he spoke, Deng Shanchuan took out his mobile phone, opened the short video platform and searched for "Kangle Lunch Box".
"You can search for the Kangle Boxed Meal account on the short video platform. It does have a lot of fans. The address of the boxed meal restaurant is on the homepage. It's near Yaocheng Village, Jiangdong New District, Hai City."
Then, Deng Shanchuan clicked into the comment section of "Kangle Lunch Box".
"If you just look around, you can see a lot of good reviews for this Kangle Boxed Meal Restaurant. Let me pick one out and read it to you: Kangle Boxed Meals are definitely the best boxed meal restaurant in the world, hundreds of times better than those big hotels and restaurants."
“And this: I’m so lucky to have Kangle lunch boxes in my life, otherwise I would feel that my life is incomplete.”
"If I hadn't just eaten the seafood soup made by Boss Chen, I would have thought these comments were too exaggerated, like a cyber army. But after eating the seafood soup made by Boss Chen today, I felt that their comments were not exaggerated at all. Even I wanted to praise them in the comment section."
Xin Yunxi also took out his mobile phone, opened the short video platform, found the account of "Kangle Boxed Lunch", and clicked to follow it. He believed that one day he would be able to go to this boxed lunch restaurant for a delicious meal.
That night, Deng Shanchuan had nothing to do, so he looked through all the food videos posted by "Kangle Box Lunch" one by one. Every video was very tempting.
Braised chicken legs, tiger skin chicken feet, dry-fried pork intestines, braised pork, braised pig's trotters, crispy pork, curry chicken, cola duck, stir-fried mango snails, braised lion's head...
Deng Shanchuan immediately took a fancy to many dishes in Kangle Lunch Box and thought how happy he would be if he could eat these dishes!
Deng Shanchuan had been to Haishi once before, and he didn’t have any deep impression of the city. Having been there once, he had no desire to go there again. But knowing that Kangle Box Hotel was in Haishi, Deng Shanchuan decided to take the time to go to Haishi next time.
Then, Deng Shanchuan saw many people in the comment section recommending places for Kangle Box Restaurant to open branches.
A Year of Strength: [Boss Kang Le, the rent of our store on Haifu Road is cheap. If you want to open a branch, please give priority to our store on Haifu Road. ]
The red sweatshirt is very festive: [Boss Kang Le, there are many office workers on Longyan Road. If you open a branch here, the business will definitely be very hot. ]
Deng Shanchuan suddenly had an idea and followed up with a comment: [Boss Kang Le, please come to our Gumi Island to open a branch. Our Gumi Island is a tourist destination. If you open a branch here, it will definitely be a big hit. ]
If Kangle Boxed Lunch opens a branch in Gumi Island, the happiest person will be Deng Shanchuan. Deng Shanchuan has even thought about it. If Chen Kangle is willing to open a branch in Gumi Island, he can rent the first floor of the homestay to Chen Kangle to open a branch.
After a while, several netizens responded to Deng Shanchuan's comment.
Yellow fireworks shot up into the sky: [This netizen has a great idea. We don’t even have a branch in Haishi yet, but you guys on Gumi Island are already thinking about our Kanglehe Hotel. ]
A Grass in the Fishpond: [Comrades from Gumi Island, don't be impatient. Wait until we open 10 branches in Haishi before it will be your turn. ]
100 Lollipops: [It's over. Even the netizens on Gumi Island are targeting our lunch box restaurant. If people from all over the country ask Kangle Lunch to open a branch, will Kangle Lunch be able to open a branch? ]
Perhaps because he had been watching videos of Kangle Box Lunch before going to bed, Deng Shanchuan dreamed of Kangle Box Lunch. In his dream, Kangle Box Lunch opened a branch on the first floor of his B&B, and he could eat delicious boxed lunches at the door of his B&B every day.
The next day, Deng Shanchuan met Chen Kangle in the lobby on the first floor of the B&B and saw Gu Wangfeng chatting with Chen Kangle.
"Boss Chen, look at the sea of our Gumi Island. It's so blue and beautiful. Look at the seafood of our Gumi Island. They are so big and plump."
"In two days, the weather on our Gumi Island will be better, and the sea on Gumi Island will be more beautiful. In two days, there will be female divers diving into the sea on the island. We can eat the sea urchins that the female divers have caught. The sea urchins are super fresh."
"Boss Chen, don't rush back. Stay on our Gumi Island for two more days. Then you can see the bluest and most beautiful sea in the world, and eat the freshest sea urchins in the world."
Chen Kangle was leaving Gumi Island this afternoon. Gu Wangfeng was reluctant to let Chen Kangle go, or rather, to let go of Chen Kangle's delicious food. If Chen Kangle was willing to stay on Gumi Island for two more days, they would have another chance to eat the delicious food made by Chen Kangle.
In order to keep Chen Kangle, Gu Wangfeng used the beautiful sea and delicious sea urchins to lure Chen Kangle, hoping that Chen Kangle would stay for two more days.
But Chen Kangle was unmoved. Although Chen Kangle also wanted to see the female divers catching sea urchins with her own eyes, she had promised the diners of Kangle Box Lunch that Kangle Box Lunch would resume business on Saturday, and she could not go back on her word.
Unable to persuade Chen Kangle, Gu Wangfeng turned around and began to lobby Grandma Chen. If Grandma Chen wanted to stay, Chen Kangle would definitely stay to accompany Grandma Chen.
"I'm sorry, Xiaofeng, I'll listen to Kang Le." Grandma Chen said without thinking.
Deng Shanchuan knew that Gu Wangfeng's approach would be useless, and even if Chen Kangle was willing to stay for two more days, they would only eat two more meals of Chen Kangle's food at most. If they wanted to eat Chen Kangle's food regularly, the best way would be to let Chen Kangle open a branch in Gumi Island. After reading the comments of netizens yesterday, I knew that Chen Kangle was willing to open a branch, so it was possible to let Chen Kangle open a branch in Gumi Island.
"Boss Chen, I heard that your Kangle lunch box is going to open a branch. Your cooking skills are so good, you will definitely be able to open many branches in the future."
"When you want to open a branch, you can consider our Gumi Island. You see, the seafood in our Gumi Island is fresh and cheap. If you come to Gumi Island to open a branch, you can make a lot of delicious seafood dishes."
"If you are willing to open a branch in Gumi Island, I can rent the first floor of the B&B to you, and I can give you a very favorable price."
Deng Shanchuan said a lot in one breath, he hoped he could impress Chen Kangle.
Chen Kangle listened to Deng Shanchuan's proposal very seriously.
"I do plan to open a branch, but I plan to open it in Haishi first. I may consider opening a branch outside of Haishi later."
Although Chen Kangle has thought about opening branches across the country in the future, his current goal is to open a branch in Haishi first. If the Haishi branch is successful, he will then consider opening branches in other places.
Deng Shanchuan could understand Chen Kangle's idea. Doing business requires taking one step at a time. It would definitely be difficult to expect Chen Kangle to open a branch in Gumi Island right away.
"It's okay. When you think of opening a branch in another place, you can consider our Gumi Island first."
Chen Kangle nodded, "Well, I'll consider it when the time comes."
Chen Kangle likes Gumi Island very much. It would be nice if Kangle Box Hotel could open a branch in the beautiful Gumi Island.
Seeing Chen Kangle nod, Deng Shanchuan immediately laughed and said, "I hope Boss Chen's business will prosper, that he can make a lot of money soon and open more branches."
Now Deng Shanchuan only hopes that Chen Kangle can open a branch in Hai City as soon as possible, and that the branch can make a lot of money, so that Chen Kangle will think of opening branches in other places, and then their Gumi Island will have a chance.
Gu Wangfeng was also happy to think that if the Kangle Box Restaurant opened a branch in Gumi Island, he would be able to eat Kangle Boxed Meals every day. "Boss Chen's cooking skills are so good, the branch will definitely make a lot of money. If he opens a branch in our Gumi Island, he will definitely make a lot of money."
Today is the last day of the trip. Chen Kangle plans to take his grandmother to Lingshan Temple in the morning and leave Gumi Island and return to Haishi in the afternoon.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Kangle and her friends had packed their luggage. Gu Wangfeng was responsible for driving them to the airport. Gu Wangfeng very gentlemanly went upstairs to help Chen Kangle carry the luggage.
When they were about to drive away, Xin Yunxi just came down from upstairs. Deng Shanchuan in the lobby suddenly thought of something. It seemed that Xin Yunxi had not met Chen Kangle yet. He quickly stood up and shouted to Gu Wangfeng: "Fengzi, wait a moment."
Gu Wangfeng was about to get in the car, but he stopped when he heard the shout, "Brother Chuan, what can I do for you?"
Deng Shanchuan quickly walked over to Xin Yunxi and said, "Brother Xin, come here. I'll take you to see someone."
As soon as Xin Yunxi came down, Deng Shanchuan forcibly pulled him out of the door. He was also confused, "Who do you want to see?"
"Do you remember the seafood stew yesterday? I'll take you to meet the beautiful boss who made the seafood stew."
Speaking of seafood in sauce, Xin Yunxi thought of the sweet and sour taste. He was also curious about how people could make such delicious seafood in sauce.
At this time, Chen Kangle had just closed the trunk and was about to get in the car. Deng Shanchuan called out again, "Boss Chen, wait a moment."
Deng Shanchuan quickly pulled Xin Yunxi over, then pointed at Chen Kangle and said, "Brother Xin, this is Boss Chen, the one who makes delicious seafood in sauce."
Xin Yunxi looked at the young girl in front of him and recognized her at first sight because she had a very special temperament.
Chen Kangle recognized the young man in front of her at a glance. It turned out that she was not mistaken in the supermarket before. The world really is that small.
Grandma Chen also recognized him and said, "Young man, why are you here too!"
This young man was the one who helped her at the airport.
"Hello, Grandma!" Xin Yunxi greeted Grandma Chen politely, and then greeted Chen Kangle: "Hello!"
Deng Shanchuan said in surprise: "Do you know each other?"
"I know him. We met at Haishi Airport. This young man is very enthusiastic. I couldn't find the way at the airport and it was this young man who led me there." Seeing Xin Yunxi, Grandma Chen smiled happily.
Deng Shanchuan: "Then you two are destined to meet. You met in Haishi and met again on Gumi Island."
Chen Kangle also thought it was a special coincidence.
"Thank you for helping my grandma at that time." Chen Kangle thanked again.
Xin Yunxi: "You're welcome. Thank you for the seafood in sauce. It's delicious."
"As long as you like it." Chen Kangle replied politely.
After just a few words, Gu Wangfeng shouted, "Boss Chen, Grandma Chen, it's getting late, we have to get in the car and rush to the airport."
"Then let's go." Chen Kangle said to Xin Yunxi and the others.
Deng Shanchuan was a little reluctant, "Boss Chen, you can come to our Gumi Island for vacation again when you have time in the future."
Before getting on the bus, Grandma Chen also said, "When you have time in the future, you can come to Hai City to play and have dinner at our Kanglehe Restaurant."
Gu Wangfeng glanced at the time again and said, "We have to leave. If we don't leave now, we might miss the plane."
Chen Kangle and Grandma Chen have already got in the car. "Let's go."
"Brother Chuan, Brother Xin, we're leaving first." After saying that, Gu Wangfeng drove away.
Only Xin Yunxi and Deng Shanchuan were left standing there.
Deng Shanchuan: "Brother Xin, isn't Boss Chen pretty?"
"Yeah." Xin Yunxi nodded.
"Not only is she beautiful, but she's also a great cook." Deng Shanchuan still couldn't bear to let her go.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Chen Kangle and his friends boarded the plane smoothly.
On the last day that the Kanglehe Restaurant suspended business, the diners were very excited.
Greenland Yingying: [Ahhhhhhh… The last day! The last day! Tomorrow we will have a box lunch! ]
It's your turn to take the blame: [We've endured for so long, and finally it's our turn. Who knows how hard it has been for me these past few days! ]
new new one: [Happy! Happy! We will have a box lunch if we can hold out for another day. We will report to the box lunch restaurant on time tomorrow. ]
