Chapter 546 I’m Sorry…
"No, you really have to eat this?"
Xiang Zhong had to admit that the aroma of food emanating from the thermal box was indeed very tempting.
But no matter how you think about it, people eating dog food is still too out of line.
"It's really delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he took out his portion of steamed bread from the bag.
Originally, she wanted to give the whole thing to Xiang Zhong, but she couldn't bear to do so. So, she carefully broke it in half in front of Xiang Zhong and handed it to him.
"No no! You must be kidding! I don't want to eat dog food."
Xiang Zhong instinctively wanted to refuse. As a grown man and captain, why should he eat dog food?
But as he smelled the aroma of the steamed buns wafting from in front of him, his stomach began to growl.
"Captain Hou, please try it! Just one bite!"
“It’s really delicious. You don’t know how many people lined up at the flower and bird market at that time.”
Seeing this, Lao Meng and others advised that as long as Xiang Zhong tasted it, he would definitely change his mind.
"Ahem, you guys better not gang up on me."
Xiang Zhong said this doubtfully, looking at the half piece of steamed bread handed to him, he hesitated for a moment, but finally he couldn't help it, reached out to take it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"Hmm~"
After the steamed bun was chewed slightly, Xiang Zhong's eyes widened instantly.
The rich taste and mellow aroma spread between the lips and teeth.
This... is this really pet food?
Xiang Zhong couldn't help but wonder, are people's pets eating so well nowadays?
The taste is countless times better than what you would normally eat at a restaurant!
Xiang Zhong quickly swallowed half a piece of steamed bread. He licked his lips with satisfaction and said to Su Chen impatiently, "Boss, give me a few more steamed bread."
"Sorry, no more."
Su Chen showed his empty insulated box.
Just now, Lao Meng and others took advantage of the time when Xiang Zhong was eating and quickly took away their own portions.
"Ah? This is such a delicious thing, why don't you make more, boss?"
Xiang Zhong couldn't help but complain, and his eyes turned, immediately aiming at the bag in Lao Meng's hand, and said: "Lao Meng, give me one."
"no!"
Without even thinking, Lao Meng decisively shook his head and refused, hiding the bag behind him.
"Don't be so stingy! I'll treat you to barbecue tomorrow! Just order any kidneys you want!"
Seeing this, Xiang Zhong immediately offered conditions in an attempt to impress Lao Meng.
"No, no, even if you order a big whip, I won't change it. Whips are always available, but such delicious steamed bread is not available on ordinary days."
Old Meng stuck his neck out and was determined not to agree no matter what.
Xiang Zhong looked unhappy. Although he was the captain of the team, he couldn't use his status to pressure others for such a small amount of food. If it got out, he would lose all his face.
Helplessly, he could only sigh, looked at Su Chen, and asked with a hint of anticipation: "Um, Boss, what time will you open your stall tomorrow? I'll have someone buy some."
"Sorry, we are open until today this week." Su Chen said.
Lao Meng and others originally felt a little bit funny about Xiang Zhong. After all, they had just rejected him with a look of disgust, but in the blink of an eye, he really liked it.
But when he heard Su Chen's words, that gloating feeling disappeared immediately.
"What?! They're closed tomorrow?"
"No, these two steamed buns are only enough for one meal. I want to eat more tomorrow!"
"That's right, boss. If you can't come set up a stall in front of the police station tomorrow, I guarantee you'll sell out!"
A group of police officers tried to persuade you to stay.
Xiang Zhong looked a little embarrassed. Could it be that his attitude just now had angered the boss?
Anyone who is scolded for no reason will feel a little resentful.
"Boss, I was in a bad mood just now. There was indeed some misunderstanding."
"You're running a business, you wouldn't quit just for this little thing."
"Don't worry, as long as you set up a stall tomorrow, I'll buy a hundred for my colleagues."
Xiang Zhong lowered his posture and spoke sincerely.
When Lao Meng and others heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
In their impression, Captain Hou is not such an easy-going person.
When he curses at people in such a loud voice, his voice can be heard ten blocks away.
Xiang Zhong didn't think too much about it. After all, the boss was doing business in accordance with the law. He was neither a criminal nor a subordinate who made a mistake.
Instead, he was amazed by her skill in making steamed cornbread.
If we have this kind of delicious steamed bread as a midnight snack, my colleagues will probably be more enthusiastic when working overtime, and their work efficiency may also be improved.
When Su Chen first heard Xiang Zhong's accusation, he felt a little puzzled, but he was not angry about it.
He explained: "I set up the stall mainly for fun, and my style is quite casual, without any fixed pattern."
"Anyway, we're definitely closed this week."
Xiang Zhong saw Su Chen's firm attitude and could not force him to do anything. He could only compromise and said:
"Well, if you want to take a break this week, that's fine. I understand. But, Boss, how about setting up a stall with us next week? We have so many people and we're sure to give you our full support."
"I'm not sure where I'll be next week, but I definitely won't be selling steamed buns anymore."
Su Chen still looked serious, feeling that he had spoken clearly and sincerely.
However, when these words reached Xiang Zhong's ears, he found them infuriating.
Oh boy, not this week, not next week either.
Is this really the attitude a serious businessman should have when selling things so casually?
At this moment, a police officer nearby seemed to suddenly remember something, frowned, and muttered to himself, "Could it be true?"
"What is real?"
Xiang Zhong turned his head and looked at the police officer.
The police officer saw the captain staring at him and suddenly became nervous. He shrank his neck unconsciously and said cautiously:
"While waiting in line this afternoon, I heard people in line talking about this owner. They said he was very casual about setting up his stall. Not only did he change the location every week, he also traveled across provinces, selling different types of food, and he didn't even expand his customer base."
"Whether you can eat the meal cooked by the boss depends entirely on your luck."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the police officers fell silent and looked at Su Chen in unison, as if they were looking at a god.
My goodness, as police officers, they are quite knowledgeable and have seen all kinds of weird people and things.
But today, when I saw Su Chen's way of setting up a stall, it really opened my eyes again.
How could this kind of stall that goes against the norm actually cultivate so many loyal customers?
