Not long after she started selling boxed meals, Yun Zhizhi was busy standing in front of her stall settling accounts with customers.
Just then, a loud bang suddenly rang out, startling Yun Zhizhi, who was completely focused on her work.
"Boss, it seems we've accidentally stumbled upon a den of corrupt officials!" He Yang shouted, pointing in a certain direction.
Yun Zhizhi glanced in the direction He Yang was pointing.
Good heavens!
The group ahead is walking this way, dressed in bright and eye-catching clothes, looking quite imposing. Aren't they the officials?
Were these officials all attracted by the dishes that were sent to the palace yesterday?
That's right, Yun Zhizhi guessed correctly.
Yesterday, the officials finally couldn't resist the temptation of the food and shamelessly went to Qin Zihao to inquire about the source of the dishes.
When I learned that all these mouthwatering dishes were actually made by Yun Zhizhi, I was surprised and also very sorry.
It's a pity I didn't get to taste it.
But then I heard some great news.
Yun Zhizhi has recently been going to the Haibei District pier to sell boxed lunches during her lunch break.
Therefore, everyone decided to strike while the iron was hot and come here during their lunch break to prepare for a hearty meal.
As for why they didn't go to the Sixth Prince Zhao Yunjin to inquire about this matter, the reason is actually very simple—they simply didn't have the guts!
As many diners were enjoying their delicious boxed meals, they suddenly noticed a group of people dressed in official robes walking towards them.
At first, they felt a tightness in their chest and a sense of unease.
After all, who wouldn't be nervous facing so many officials?
However, as the officials drew closer, the diners gradually heard their conversation and realized what was going on.
It turns out that these officials were also attracted by the boxed meals here and came specifically to buy them.
Now, the diners finally breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.
Many people exclaimed in amazement, "So officials are just like us, they have such refined tastes!"
The stall was extremely popular today.
Compared to yesterday, the speed of selling boxed meals is significantly faster today.
He Yang, who was in charge of maintaining order at the scene, kept a close eye on the sales of the dishes. Seeing that the popular spicy shrimp and fried mushrooms were about to sell out, he began to get anxious.
In the blink of an eye, He Yang rushed forward, clutching a wooden plate tightly in his hand, and ran straight to the food distribution area.
To his utter surprise, Master Xuanzhen, who was in charge of serving him the food, found his hands trembling uncontrollably.
The original spoonful of spicy shrimp, after being shaken repeatedly by Master Xuanzhen, was reduced to only half its original size when it reached He Yang's plate.
He Yang stared wide-eyed at the meager amount of spicy shrimp in the spoon, and his anger flared instantly.
He gritted his teeth in anger and roared at Master Xuanzhen, "Old man Xuanzhen, if you keep trembling like this, believe me, I'll dock your wages!"
The boss had already said that everyone who came to help set up the stall would receive wages.
Even if these four old men are only doing this part-time job of dividing the food, they still get their share.
Master Xuanzhen's eyes darted around, and his mouth rattled off a string of words: "Look at this, these shrimp are so popular! They're about to be sold out!"
"You're one of us, so today you should show some magnanimity and restrain yourself a little bit, eat one less bite. That way, those outsiders can eat one more bite to satisfy their cravings."
Before he finished speaking, he swung his large ladle, scooped up a full spoonful of golden, crispy fried mushrooms, and then flicked his wrist repeatedly.
He Yang stared at the few spicy shrimp and the few remaining fried mushrooms on the wooden plate in front of him, feeling extremely frustrated.
He pouted, his face full of grievance.
snort!
This stinky monk is clearly bullying him.
Why didn't I see him eat less fried mushrooms earlier?
It was 11:45 AM.
Sunlight shone on the dock in Haibei District, making the water sparkle.
Zhao Yunjin led Qi Yize and Qin Zihao to this place with steady steps.
When Zhao Yunjin caught sight of Yun Zhizhi's petite yet constantly busy figure moving among the crowd, her heart softened.
However, he did not go up to disturb her, but led Qin Zihao and the other person straight to the food serving area.
Qi Yize had been here yesterday and felt guilty, so he was extra careful and cautious when getting his food.
Qin Zihao filled a large bowl with cold fern root noodles and then walked contentedly towards the food area, ready to choose other delicious dishes to reward his taste buds.
Just then, he suddenly saw four old men standing in front of him, busy serving food to everyone.
He knew all four of them; he never expected they would end up hanging out together.
They looked energetic and moved with practiced skill and efficiency.
Qin Zihao was somewhat surprised and blurted out, "Master Xuanzhen, I didn't expect you guys to put in such a lot of effort!"
At least I didn't get a free meal.
Hearing Qin Zihao's praise, Master Xuanzhen smiled smugly, "Of course!"
He glanced at Zhao Yunjin diagonally opposite him and said, "Disciple, come, come, tell your master what you want to eat? I'm in a good mood today, I'll personally serve you a spoon!"
Seeing how enlightened he was yesterday, I've decided to reward him.
I won't let my hands shake later.
Zhao Yunjin's gaze quickly swept over the dazzling array of dishes.
The various dishes were brightly colored and had an enticing aroma, making them incredibly tempting.
