Chapter 045 Chapter 45
The time is pushed forward to one hour ago.
The anchor Xiong Ge walked out of Chu's Restaurant helplessly, and the audience in his live broadcast room saw the long and persistent queue outside.
Despite the advice of experienced old customers, "Don't queue up anymore, it's been two hours, we all count our numbers automatically, if you queue up again until 1:30, you won't be able to eat even if the restaurant closes!"
"No matter how many people are waiting in line, he won't extend the time. There are only so many ingredients to prepare every day."
"I was out for National Day and the restaurant was closed yesterday. If I can't eat here today, I won't be able to eat here for half a month. I can't take it anymore. I'm really worried and miss it so much!"
"Me too. I dream about it every day." The man spoke with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Luckily, Brother Xiong, I came early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat it." Brother Xiong smacked his lips and sighed.
"Although Xiong is reluctant to admit it, I think the taste of his egg fried rice is indeed worthy of the price."
As he was talking, he finally had the mind to look at the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, and then he was stunned on the spot.
[Brother Xiong, are you sure you didn't smoke in this state? You sound the same as usual, but the way you eat is totally different from usual! ]
[I also doubt it, Brother Xiong, did you really take the money? I have never seen Brother Xiong brag about a store like this. ]
【Brother Xiong, if you accept the advertisement, just tell me directly.】
[No, no, no, it shouldn't be an advertisement. I've been wanting to say this for a long time. The faces of the people in that store all look like they've been crammed. I don't believe that any rice can be so delicious!]
[This egg fried rice may have some extra ingredients, otherwise why would so many people eat it even though it’s so expensive? ]
Brother Xiong opened his mouth, these bullet screens lingering in his mind.
Yes, he had eaten in big hotels before, so why was the food in this small restaurant so delicious?
The chef boss is still a young man. How can a young man have such cooking skills?
When he recalled his condition just now, Brother Xiong began to tremble all over.
"Family, Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong wouldn't have really taken that thing in."
Brother Xiong recalled the state of those people in the shop just now. They were all like they were addicted. When the egg fried rice came, they ate it crazily without saying a word. They were completely in a state of being "addicted".
At this moment, Xiong's hand holding the selfie stick began to tremble. The bullet screen flashed by.
[Brother Xiong is getting too excited. Shit, we should call the police.]
[Should we call the police? Will Xiong be arrested?]
[Brother Xiong is shaking, isn't this what happens when skaters smoke too much? ]
"Family members, stay calm, stay calm." Brother Xiong saw that the audience in the live broadcast room were about to call the police, so he spoke quickly.
"I was a little shaken by what you said, but my mind and body were very clear."
At this moment, a video passed by the live broadcast room.
【Mental illnesses all say they are not mentally ill. 】
"No, I..." The host Xiong Ge was speechless at this moment.
He felt that he was sober now, but obviously the audience did not think so, and Xiong Ge himself was also wavering in his heart, wondering if he had really eaten something that would land him in jail.
If he doesn't call the police now, someone in the live broadcast room might have already called 110.
"I have to call the police. Don't worry, you are not as convenient as me. I am a local." The host Xiong Ge first calmed the audience.
"Think about it. You saw this place when I came here. It's in the center of Bincheng. Nearby are the river-view flats where the rich live."
"I think some of the people eating here are probably wealthy people from the neighborhood."
"Logically, the police should be able to find this place. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I think it would be best to ask the police from another district to come and arrest them directly. What do you think?"
Brother Xiong said this in a tone of "you know", and immediately received a response from the live broadcast room.
【What Xiong said makes sense, but who knows if there is mutual protection among officials.】
[Okay, Brother Xiong, go to another district and surrender yourself.]
【Don’t rush to call the police, just in case you startle the snake. 】
Seeing the message "Go and turn yourself in" appearing in the live broadcast room, the host Xiong Ge didn't say anything, but he didn't kill anyone! This surrender made him feel uneasy.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, in a live broadcast room, some of the audience members who were usually reluctant to give rewards now gave him rewards, telling him to quickly take a taxi to the police station and not to waste time.
After saying so much, the suspicion in the live broadcast room became more and more serious. The anchor Xiong Ge walked with heavy steps. He had no choice but to go to the police station.
What if...he really tests positive, he'll probably have to go to a drug rehabilitation center!
Brother Xiong has seen it in a short video before. Anyone who smokes or quits drugs will be raided by the police and taken away for urine tests when they go out.
And once it gets out, my innocence for life will be gone! Even if it was an accident, others will look at me with strange eyes, and I don’t know what to say behind my back.
Brother Xiong comforted himself in his heart that fans could see that he had ingested it by mistake, and that actively sucking D is completely different from being passive.
He is a good man who can admit his mistakes and correct them!
And this time going to the Public Security Bureau might just raise my popularity to a higher level!
Now that things have come to this, this is the only way left!
The anchor Zheng Yixiong went to the Public Security Bureau in the next district with great sorrow. He said goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room with tears in his eyes. The live broadcast room was immediately filled with praises.
Brother Zheng Yixiong took the initiative to report to the Public Security Bureau and anxiously waited for the drug test results. He hated the restaurant to the extreme in his heart.
After being arrested, he could no longer broadcast live. His face was gloomy: "My life will be ruined by this meal."
After receiving the report and detailed description from anchor Xiong Ge, the anti-drug detachment quickly assembled and dispatched.
then--
On Sunday, Ayan, Yizhi, Zhujue and Chu Bingbing all experienced extremely special “first times in their lives”.
Conduct drug and urine tests at the Public Security Bureau.
All the big pots of beef stew and chicken stew in the store were taken away for testing.
Even when the test was done, some people were still heartbroken.
"I just started eating. I haven't even finished my whole plate of rice." Chu Bingbing's eyes were filled with tears.
"Yizhi at least finished a plate."
"We are excellent successors of socialism, yet we are accused of taking drugs!"
"I only ate five pieces of beef, four pieces of potatoes, half a plate of rice, two pieces of chicken, and a little vinegar celery." Ah Yan stretched out his fingers.
She is at a loss!
No one eats as fast as Yi Zhi. Now the two pots of stewed potatoes and meat have been sent to a special place for testing, so I can’t eat them even if I want to.
Tomorrow is Monday, and if you want to eat it again you have to wait until next weekend.
It was hard to endure for five whole days. It was really hard to endure.
A Yan leaned on Jue Jue, and several people sighed one after another.
What do you call this?
When Yi Zhi was taken into the police car, she was trying her best to suppress the urge to take action.
"Fortunately, there are only a few of us today." Chu Bingbing felt somewhat fortunate at this moment.
Not all of them came today, otherwise, more people would have been sent to the police station for a day trip.
They now have a friendship of sharing weal and woe.
Only Chu Shen remained as calm as ever, his face already showing a hint of numbness from being tortured a thousand times.
“You’ll get used to it.”
Hearing this, Ah Yan and the others all turned to look at him. Chu Shen's movements when he raised his hands were so skillful.
"How many times have you been reported?"
"Isn't it just that the egg fried rice tastes a little better? And it was reported again!"
Ah Yan didn’t know whether this could be called an unexpected disaster, but anyway... a whole new experience in life had been added.
The urine drug test takes two hours, but the five people were not detained. Instead, they sat in a row and waited for the results under the watchful eyes of the police sister.
Two hours later, all the test results were negative, indicating no drug ingestion.
The policeman who first broke into Chu's Restaurant had a complicated look in his eyes. He thought that it was the KPI that was about to be obtained, so he ran to another area to grab it, but it turned out to be a big mistake!
There was once a case where someone reported a restaurant’s food because it was so delicious, and it was later discovered that poppy was added to the food.
This time, after receiving a report that a serving of egg fried rice was selling for 288 yuan and people were eating it enthusiastically, Officer Sun immediately led his team over.
Nowadays, D dealers are about to be wiped out. How can you refuse this KPI that is given to you?
You know, there is no need to follow the territorial principle when catching drug dealers. It is very normal to catch them across the country and across provinces. It is even more normal for him to catch them across regions.
I thought this was a fish that slipped through the net of a brother unit, but I never expected...
Just now, Officer Sun received a call from the captain of the anti-drug brigade of the public security bureau in the area where Chu's Restaurant is located, and the other party burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"We have received reports of Xiao Chu's restaurant and have visited it eleven times in the past three months. We conduct surprise inspections every week. Do you still want to take advantage of the situation?"
"It's also because his egg fried rice is so delicious that the public is very aware of reporting it."
Officer Sun no longer wanted to talk.
"Is it really that delicious? When we went there today, it wasn't the egg fried rice you mentioned, it was meat and potatoes stewed. But the test results showed nothing." He complained.
"Eh? Stewed potatoes with meat. Oh my god, why didn't Xiao Chu tell me that he had a new dish?" The old friend on the other end of the phone exclaimed in surprise and yelled at his comrades.
"Xiao Chu's restaurant has new dishes."
Hearing the commotion on the other end of the line, Officer Sun said: ...
“You guys have eaten there too?”
"I have eaten there. It's now a legendary restaurant in our bureau. But I can't even go there once a month. How can I have a day off? I let my wife take the kids there and I save money." said the police officer opposite.
"Only the young people in the team, who have no family and no children, can go to eat twice a month to catch up on their rest."
After saying a few more words, Officer Sun hung up the phone. As the person on the front line responsible for reporting the case this time, he came to the side of several young people who were "misunderstood".
"Thank you for your cooperation. I'm sorry to have scared you this time. Now you can go home."
"You're welcome. This is the obligation of every citizen. We need to catch and stop drug trafficking. I understand." Chu Shen seemed to have developed an automatic reply mechanism. This sentence left Officer Sun speechless.
He thought for a moment and then spoke again, revealing a bitter smile: "We brought them back for testing... The pots and bowls will be cleaned and sent back to you, but the food cannot be taken away."
A Yan and his four companions stayed in the Public Security Bureau for three hours, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they walked out.
"It's time for dinner." Yi Zhi looked at the sky and spoke.
"Do we have any food left?" Chu Bingbing asked.
"The meat is gone, and now the pot is gone, so we can't cook it. It takes a long time to stew the meat. The fruits, potatoes and sweet potatoes that Yi Zhi brought are still here." Chu Shen said.
Their phones were returned only after the urine test was completed.
At this moment, Chu Shen looked at the restaurant group created by the diners he was pulled into. The group message had already reached 999+.
"@Boss Chu, have you been arrested again?"
"Is this district investigating again? Hasn't this district come here many times?"
"It was the guy who did the live broadcast this afternoon who reported it! He was still doing the live broadcast and calling him Brother Righteous Xiong. What an idiot! He rolled his eyes."
"@Chu Boss, please, will the free fruit in the store today be available in the future? Please share with the fruit store owner!"
There were so many messages tagged with Chu Shen that it was almost impossible to read them all. Apparently, the police officers’ rushing in caused quite a big commotion, and some old customers were already familiar with this scene.
"At least they were caught when the store was closed this time, not at noon. I still remember the first time I came to seize drugs, all the guests in the room had to take urine tests. I won't mention it."
Chu Shen quietly popped his head out at this moment.
[Chu Shen]: It’s out. The fruit is from a friend’s farm for tasting. You can add WeChat and the online store yourself. The price is not cheap.
Chu Shen sends you [personal business card]
He sent the WeChat number that Yi Zhi gave him, and after proving that he was still alive, he disappeared from the group again and ignored any other messages.
"Yi Zhi, tell your relatives. I think quite a few people have added you on WeChat." Chu Shen said to Yi Zhi.
Yi Zhi felt a little numb when he saw the red message popping up on his WeChat clone.
Everyone, there are so many new additions.
Chu Shen had to go back to the restaurant to clean up the mess, and he politely declined his friends' offer to go over and help him.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. You guys don't even know where you put your things when you go there. It's already five o'clock, and it will take a while to get back to school. You've been through a lot today because of me, so go back to school and have a rest." There was an apology in his eyes.
"I'll bring egg fried rice for everyone tomorrow morning."
Chu Bingbing thought for a moment and said, "I won't go back to the dormitory tonight. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I need to pack my clothes."
Because the personal area in the dormitory is very limited, she not only brought the free stuff she got at the comic convention today, but also some clothes that she was not going to wear due to the seasonal change. She wanted to take them back to school and slowly choose them in the afternoon, but she didn't expect to go to the Public Security Bureau and disrupt her original plan.
"I'm not going with you either. I have something else to do." Yi Zhi didn't explain.
Thus, only Ayan and Zhu Jue boarded the subway to Hamada.
On Sunday, traffic jams are just starting to form, so it is more cost-effective to take the 100 million seater bus without getting stuck in traffic.
"I feel like it's another dramatic day."
On the subway, Ah Yan and Jue Jue leaned their heads together, holding hands, and both looked a little depressed.
"I really want to eat meat stewed with potatoes." Ah Yan murmured. The more you can't get something, the more you miss it.
I was forced to interrupt my delicious meal halfway through. The beef stew with potatoes in my memory seemed to become even more delicious, and I subconsciously began to drool.
"Let's come again next week, and Chu Shen will do better then." Zhu Jue reached out and stroked her messy hair.
"Well, I wonder what new dishes Chu Shen will come up with in the future." A Yan leaned on Jue Jue's shoulder.
"Today's meal is free, but I don't know how much Chu Shen will charge for it later."
Zhu Jue thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we will make a set meal with egg fried rice, or remove the egg fried rice and only provide rice."
Although the stewed potatoes and meat can be prepared in advance in a large pot and kept heated on low heat, if you have to fry rice at the same time, Chu Shen is the only one in the store. It is too busy. Even the chef god doesn't have an apprentice.
Ayan leaned on Juejue's shoulder and closed her eyes for a while. Zhu Jue tilted his head slightly and kept looking at her. He held her hand motionlessly, and occasionally looked up at the station ahead.
In order to make her sleep more comfortably, he always maintained the same posture.
When they reached a stop, he waved his hand gently. Ah Yan looked up at him with sleepy eyes.
"Awareness."
"It's time to go to school." Zhu Jue said softly.
As their right hands were held together, Ah Yan leaned on her right shoulder. Zhu Jue gently turned sideways at this moment, stretched out his left arm, and grasped the back of her neck with his powerful palm, supporting her with his hand so that the back of her head would not be hit.
A Yan slept for a while, and when the two of them walked from the subway station into the campus, they felt much more awake.
We had dinner in the cafeteria, but after the egg fried rice and stewed meat and potatoes for lunch, the cafeteria food that usually tasted very happy suddenly became bland.
On the same day, his taste buds received a double shock and Yan couldn't help sighing while eating.
"What will we do after graduation? We won't be able to eat Chu Shen's meals anymore." They will most likely return to Ningcheng after graduation, and Chu Shen may not open the restaurant after graduation.
By then, there is no telling how picky our mouths and appetites, which have been spoiled during these four years of college, will become.
"Given Chu Shen's personality, maybe when his business is so prosperous he will just leave Bincheng and open a store somewhere where no one knows him." Zhu Jue said.
After listening to Jue Ruo's words, A Yan touched his chin.
Now Chu Shen is a budding chef god. By that time, he might have already retired as a top chef god. If he retires and opens another restaurant, it might be a cycle just like now!
She thought about her other roommates again, and Ah Yan found that she had no idea what everyone would be like in four years.
After all, compared to her classmates who take the usual postgraduate entrance examinations, are recruited by overseas universities, and are selected as trainees in large factories, the lives of these people with haloes around her are completely unpredictable and destined to be different.
Neither of them ate much for dinner. Sitting on the sofa chairs in the cafeteria, Ayan and Zhu Jue were browsing their phones.
#A restaurant in Bincheng was reported by the anchor because its fried rice was too delicious□□#
"Sure enough, it was this person who reported it!" Ah Yan was shocked when he saw the trending search.
She clicked on it and found a live broadcast recording posted by someone.
The person in the live broadcast was none other than the "Brother Zhengyi Xiong" who was very picky in Chu Shen's store today.
Ayan and Juejue watched the half-hour live broadcast recording together, watching the host Zheng Yixiongge and his live broadcast room audience complete a large-scale brainstorming together, and even live broadcast all the way to walking into the public security bureau to "report".
"Everyone's anti-virus awareness is still very strong." A Yan concluded.
To be honest, when she first entered Chu Shen's store, if she hadn't seen the golden words on his head, she would have almost called 110.
Commenting on this Weibo post that showed the live broadcast screen recording, there were many netizens who were excited to watch the excitement.
"Is it true? So is there any D-grade product?"
"It's so funny. This is the first time I've seen someone run to the police station to report someone who suspected he was taking drugs."
"What's next?"
After the two of them finished watching the screen recording, Ah Yan tapped his finger to exit, then he swiped his finger downwards and a new popular Weibo post appeared in the same hot search term, along with a new term.
【Hahahahaha】: #A restaurant in Bincheng was reported by a male anchor because its fried rice was too delicious□□# I am dying of laughter, my friends, hurry up and watch the latest live broadcast screen recording, it will be deleted if you are late! That restaurant is not good, but this anchor is in jail for the second time. He walked out of the police station and was arrested the next day. The reason is... extortion! #Reporting the male anchor who served fried rice was arrested for extortion#
What the hell?
A Yan and Zhu Jue were stunned when they saw this. It was blackmail, but it seemed that Chu Shen was not blackmailed, right?
A Yan quickly clicked on the latest live broadcast recording, in which Brother Zhengyi Xiong was greeting the audience in the live broadcast room with a "survivor" smile.
"Family, Brother Xiong is back, the urine test is over, I'm negative, hahahaha, it was an oolong, I'm not poisoned!"
"I was scared by you guys. I heard that the restaurant has been busted. Well, it's not poisonous and nothing will happen. Everyone is happy."
Just as Brother Xiong was talking endlessly about how calm he was, how he remained calm in the face of danger, and how he voluntarily surrendered himself and took a urine test.
Brother Xiong, who was standing by a tree on the roadside outside the gate railings of the Public Security Bureau, was suddenly surrounded by several police officers.
Xiong was stunned. Was there something wrong with his test results? Could it be wrong?
"Officer, could my examination results be wrong? Are you here to arrest me?" He trembled a little.
"Li Xiong, right? You should know Jia Xiaoping, He Wei, and Qian Wei."
"I, I am Li Xiong, but I don't know these names. I am an honest citizen, and I was harmed by that restaurant." At this moment, he obviously thought that the test was wrong, and the names reported were all people who had eaten the D-grade egg fried rice.
"What restaurant? You've got to remember the time you blackmailed Ho's Dumplings, Xiao Ping's Salted Meat, and Uncle Wei's BBQ?"
"The victims came to report collectively, and they are a chain of extortionists demanding a large sum of money. You are quite courageous. Take them away."
At the end of the live broadcast recording, the only sound left was "take away", followed by a blurry sound.
Ah Yan, Zhu Jue:!!!
A Yan forwarded the video to several people at the speed of light.
[Ayan]:! Is this person trying to blackmail me by reporting the poison?
On the hot search at the moment, the two entries are placed side by side, directly forming a sentence, which contains many stories and is very eye-catching.
All three platforms were on the hot search list. The million-dollar anchor Zheng Yi Xiong Ge, who has a large number of fans, immediately started to unfollow and turn against him.
Some people only looked at the brief trending topics, without looking at the specific details of the process, and naturally understood the matter as -
"Because the egg fried rice was so delicious, the anchor thought it was poisonous and tried to blackmail him but failed. He then reported it to the police. However, the egg fried rice did not go to the police station, but the anchor did."
At the same time, people started asking questions and searching on the hot searches.
"So how delicious is this egg fried rice? Why does it make people feel like it's of inferior quality?"
"Where is the kindhearted person? I want to know where this egg fried rice is right now!"
"What? This is the golden egg fried rice from the comic convention?"
The crowd went to a certain audio platform to watch and laugh, while watching the illegal anchor being banned, they looked everywhere for the fried rice.
There is power in the crowd. Diners who have been to Chu's Restaurant are bound to have a few "eye-catching" details. Soon, all the detailed information about the egg fried rice was dug out, including the store's opening hours, the price of 288, the egg fried rice that was hotly searched at comic conventions, the young chef who had to go to school, and the egg fried rice that was reported as suspected on a daily basis. Each of them was full of topics.
Chu's Restaurant immediately attracted a wave of collections and check-ins on the review website, and foodies were eager to try it out.
"Tomorrow is Monday! Prepare over the weekend and go all out!"
"I'm dying of laughter. I just told my friend that this egg fried rice is not the first time it has been reported. She was also taken in for a urine test. Hahahaha, the boss is so pitiful! Must try!"
Overnight, Chu's Restaurant received countless exposures. Some people even went over and live-streamed the closed door to attract traffic that night, and someone even shouted from downstairs.
Because of the large group of people who were temporarily gathered from the two dormitories for the comic convention, everyone who learned about this incident was suddenly filled with collective concern for Chu Shen. Ah Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for Chu Shen, as it was a completely unprovoked disaster.
This is the person with the halo who is destined to receive the attention of the bloody storm, from Gu Jiasui to the chef Chu Shen.
[Ye Pingan]: Brother Shen, are you okay? Do you want us to pick you up tomorrow morning?
[Lin Fan]: I'll pick you up tonight? Go back to school and hide for a while.
【Yi Zhi】：I can take it too.
[Chu Shen]: It’s okay. I promised to bring egg fried rice for everyone tomorrow.
Even at this time, Chu Shen was still thinking about the fried rice he promised. A Yan was moved when he saw the news.
[Chu Bingbing]: You can eat fried rice at any time. Your safety is more important now.
[Ayan]: +1
【Blessing】：+2
【Easy to know】：+3
On the second floor of the small restaurant, Chu Shen rubbed his nose as he looked at the message on his phone. He didn't add many diners, but now people kept asking about safety in the group and private chats, saying that they could come over to pick them up.
He asked the system in his mind: "System, are you sure you can send me away tomorrow morning?"
"The system has confirmed. Please rest assured, heir of the God of Cooking."
"That's good." Chu Shen felt relieved. Although his chef god system was sometimes unkind and very picky, it was still reliable at critical moments.
He replied to reassure his friends and said he had a solution.
A gentleman's word is as good as a whip. If he says he will bring fried rice tomorrow, he will definitely bring it tomorrow.
"The descendants of the God of Cooking can enter the Long River of Cooking. Do you want to enter tonight?" The system suddenly reminded Chu Shen, and he was startled.
"What? Didn't you say your favorability wasn't high enough before?"
He quickly took a look at the couple's favorability level, and it suddenly rose to twenty.
Chu Shen was a little confused. He originally thought that his favorability would drop because he had caused the couple to be put in police station today. At that time, he was lucky that his favorability did not drop. How come it suddenly increased by ten points now? It was so unexpected.
On Monday morning, Chu Shen greeted Brother Fan and Yi Zhi at the school gate, and they returned to the dormitory without any fuss under the protection of two bodyguards.
The egg fried rice was cooked smoothly, and he heard the prompt from the system again.
"The descendants of the God of Cooking currently have two opportunities to enter the Long River of Cooking, which can be used at any time."
Chu Shen: Ah?
Why did his living ancestor suddenly appear?
The affection between the two of them has reached thirty points, and ten more points in one night. This happiness comes too suddenly!
