Chapter 227 Enthusiastic College Students
Li Ke didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately agreed.
The official efficiency was evident less than 24 hours after the phone call ended.
On the second day at 7 a.m., Chen Yuan, unusually, did not set up his stall and was resting at home when his phone rang.
It was a message from Li Ke.
[Based on your needs, I've found a suitable vehicle, and the permit has been approved. I've expedited the process for you; all the food safety, fire safety, and road occupancy permits have been stamped. Please provide me with an address, and I'll deliver it to you promptly at 2 PM today.]
[Furthermore, after discussion within the bureau, it has been decided that the dining car should not return to its old location. We have arranged for you to go to the Xinghui Night Market in the south of the city, which is the largest night market in our city with a very high flow of customers. If you agree, we will speak with the management this afternoon.]
Since it's a mobile food truck anyway, it doesn't matter where it's placed, so Chen Yuan didn't object.
After I finished breakfast, the other person replied to my message again.
[I've already informed them. The night market's off-peak hours are from 5 AM to 12 PM; there's plenty of space for long queues. The management will also provide tables and chairs, so you don't need to worry about those. I've already assigned someone to handle the remaining paperwork.]
Chen Yuan had no choice but to thank the other party properly.
The food truck arrived on time in the afternoon and parked in front of Chen Yuan's parents' house.
This food cart has a matte gray finish and a large interior capacity, even larger than a breakfast shop.
The countertop inside the food cart is made of stainless steel, and it has everything you need, including a fermentation box, a refrigerator, and even a router.
The elderly couple didn't sit idle either; they helped Chen Yuan tidy up the food cart.
Wang Xiulan also used food-grade 84 disinfectant to thoroughly disinfect the food cart twice before stopping.
After everything was tidied up, Chen Yuan took a photo and posted it along with the business location.
The group chat, filled with longtime neighbors, suddenly erupted in complaints.
[Aunt Wang: Mr. Chen, this night market is quite far from here. How am I supposed to get there with my old arms and legs? It's way too far! Why did you choose such a place?]
[Old Li, who sells fried dough sticks: Brother, I understand your difficulties, but if you're going to such a far place, it's a real hassle for us to go. We can't drive there every morning, and it wouldn't even cover the gas money.]
[Duoduo's Mom: It's really too far. My daughter eats your steamed buns every morning now, and she'll definitely throw a tantrum if she can't have them. What should I do?]
[Xiaoqi Loves Cakes: How about this, we simply appoint a representative to buy them all in the morning, and then we can pick them up at the old street.]
[Mom of three: Okay, I agree!]
There were not many complaints between the lines, only helplessness about the distance and longing for the taste.
Chen Yuan then checked other groups, and they were all pretty much the same.
Then Chen Yuan opened the comment section under the official account, only to find that the comment section had been quickly overrun by a vibrant force.
Chen Yuan recalled that there were nearly four universities located within a 3-kilometer radius of Xinghui Night Market.
The university students' messages came quickly and urgently.
[Kyoto University Rice King: Holy crap! This restaurant has finally come to our area! Xinghui Night Market is very close to us, I'll be there at 4 AM tomorrow!]
[Food Detective: Anyone have a spot for seafood buns? High price offered!]
[A sci-fi guy with thick hair: Before, it was too far from here, so I could only go and stake out the spot on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it's finally great! Eight in the morning with a steamed bun, my soul takes flight!]
[Unconventional Health Tips: Should we suggest the boss organize a mobile breakfast truck that travels to four different universities? Just thinking about it is amazing!]
[Lele is Lele: I absolutely have to eat that lotus leaf and winter melon porridge tomorrow! It's practically a lifesaver! I suggest making a set meal for it!]
The various and diverse suggestions snowballed and grew bigger and bigger.
Some people have even created simple tour route maps, schedules, and designed vehicle stickers.
Chen Yuan laughed as he watched.
It's just unknown how long it will take for their ideas to be realized; in any case, they can't be realized at the moment.
On the morning of the third day.
It was still a little past four o'clock.
Chen Yuan went to buy goods first, and then went to the entrance of the community to pick up Aunt Li and others.
This shows the advantage of a van; if it were a car, it would definitely be overloaded.
They parked their car in the parking lot, and from a distance they could see two dim yellow lights already lit up in the open space of the night market, with the food carts parked steadily within the painted white lines.
Chen Yuan opened the car door: "Come on, give me a hand. Let's put everything in the car and then get ready to get to work. Let's try to get off to a good start."
Aunt Li, holding seafood in her hands, smiled and said, "Yes, we must have a great start."
Chen Yuan led the group, carrying large and small bags, towards the food truck in a grand procession.
The food cart is equipped with a power source, food trays, and a test steamer.
At first, it was a bit awkward, since the food truck and the original store were very different, especially the way the items were placed.
In addition, due to unfamiliarity, one often cannot find what one wants.
When the first batch of buns went into the steamer, Aunt Li's elbow almost knocked over a vinegar bottle. Sister Wang also nearly bumped into someone when she turned around to serve porridge.
The porridge spilled all over the floor, and she hurriedly and frantically cleaned it up, which obviously slowed down her progress and disrupted her rhythm.
Chen Yuan remained calm and gave instructions: "It's alright, it's normal to have a few minor issues. We'll get used to it quickly. Everyone, don't panic, just follow the normal procedures."
"If you're worried about making a mess, then do it slowly. It's okay, don't worry."
With Chen Yuan's comfort and encouragement, everyone gradually got used to the food cart, and their movements became smoother.
The first batch of buns came out of the pot.
White steam billowed out, and the aroma of the old dough and the filling of the buns quickly spread.
At this time, more and more people came to buy breakfast.
Chen Yuan originally thought that fewer people would come after changing the location, since his old neighbors and acquaintances couldn't come, and they were one of the main groups.
To my surprise, when I looked up, the long queue had taken two big turns.
Tourists became mere background figures; everywhere you looked, the room was filled with a group of college students with clear, bright eyes.
At the very front of the line was a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Chen Yuan had only been there a short while when he arrived, and he had been waiting until now. After smelling the aroma of the steamed buns, he gently tapped on the glass and called out weakly.
"Boss, boss! Four pork buns, two custard buns, two fried cakes, and two bowls of winter melon porridge. I didn't eat enough last night, hurry up, or I'll starve!"
"Alright, sweep here, right away." Chen Yuan's movements were swift and efficient, the clips flying, his hands never stopping.
A girl with a ponytail was scanning a QR code while urging the driver to hurry up.
"Auntie, please add more chili oil to the wontons, I love spicy food! Also, please divide these steamed buns into two bags for me, I'm bringing some for someone else."
