Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe Chapter 93 93: Boss, Go Home Already—I Don’t Want to Clock O

After all, Amiens is just a small city, with only two well-known malls in the city center, and the others are all located in the suburbs.

Following the principle of proximity, he could only co to the sa old spot in the city center.

"Huh?"

While patrolling the first floor, ng Qi had just finished a round and was enjoying the air conditioning at the mall entrance when he saw a familiar figure brushing past him.

"Lin??"

"Hmm?"

"Haha, it really is you! How co you have free ti to stroll around the mall today, aren't you vending?"

Upon seeing ng Qi, Lin Chen was not surprised, as he already knew ng Qi worked as a security guard at the nearby mall. He just didn't expect to bump into him right away.

"I am, but today I got off work early, so I finally have the ti to buy a few clothes for a business trip next month."

"Business trip? Where to? Want to recomnd so places?"

Thinking about having no late-night snacks for a few days, ng Qi felt a little sad for so reason.

He patted his increasingly round belly and sighed inwardly.

Consider it as dieting, what else can I do.

"To the seaside."

"Wow, beach! Beauties! Alright, alright, speaking of casual wear, you've got to hit the third floor, take this escalator up and go all the way to the right, you'll see a shop with a coconut tree at the entrance, it's absolutely great!"

Sure enough, ng Qi's recomndation was reliable. With a mindset of giving it a shot, he went in to have a look, and not only were the prices cheap, but the quality was also quite good. Most importantly, it wasn't a chain brand, so he wouldn't end up wearing the sa clothes as people walking on the street.

After spending over half an hour shopping and dropping off his purchases at ho, he pulled out his food truck and t up with Lucas, and it was already around six o'clock.

At this ti, it was precisely the peak hour for foreigners to go out looking for food, and several long-lost food trucks lined the streets.

Besides Lunard and Sakura Sushi, the hot dog and ice cream trucks also had long lines, and there was a new Crêpe vendor he'd never seen before.

In addition, the kimchi food truck had surprisingly reappeared in the area, though almost no one was queuing.

Those who ca here for dinner were mainly nearby residents, so word spread fast. The food truck owners would also gossip amongst themselves, hoping no one would co to disgust them—a competitor less is a good thing.

Food trucks that neglect hygiene are likely to diminish custors' dining desires, leading to a chain reaction.

Seeing the familiar large red food truck drive across the road and steadily park by the roadside, Lunard silently rolled his eyes and casually tossed the spatula in his hand.

"Almost ti to wrap up for the day..."

Neo: "Boss, just go ho already, leave the rest to . I still don't want to clock out. Can I earn an extra two hours? My expenses have been high lately..."

"You brat, didn't I tell you not to spend so much on your girlfriend! Take it easy, got it!"

"Ah, I know, I know, but she calls baby~"

Lunard reluctantly took off his apron and mask, stepped out of the food truck, and the custors in line were bewildered.

"Hey! Old Lunard, where are you running off to? My taco isn't done yet!"

"Though we're all regulars, you can't just openly slack off like this. I was supposed to wait just five minutes, but at Neo's pace, I'm going to be starving for ten!"

He pointed to the red food truck beside them.

"Going to learn so skills, my new nu depends entirely on Lin."

He had gradually figured out Lin Chen's routine. If he ca around ten at night, basically all the ingredients were prepared, and he just started selling, so he could only learn the cooking process.

Coming at other tis, he could learn a lot since it usually involved preparing from scratch.

By then, Lucas also arrived, turned on his hazard lights, and parked in front of the food truck, unloading three entire insulated boxes from the pickup bed.

"Quick! Help fill a few buckets of water, I can't wait to start making shaved ice!"

His ho fridge was a regular one, not fitting the comrcial tal barrels he brought, so he could only make them fresh once Lin Chen's food truck arrived.

The shaved ice solidified quite quickly; it wouldn't take more than an hour or two, ready to sell by eight at the latest.

He even went through the trouble to buy several extra tal barrels, planning to make a large batch at once to sell through midnight, ensuring his inco would undoubtedly double.

Apart from the insulated boxes, the truck was also piled high with several boxes of fruit, including waterlon, pineapple, blueberry, strawberry, mango, and more.

"A pickup truck is so handy."

Even after buying so much, the pickup bed used less than a quarter of its space.

After helping to unload all the ingredients and fruits, Lucas went to park the car. Lin Chen took the opportunity to bring down the foldable plastic tables and chairs from the food truck, set them up, filled the tal barrels with water, and got everything ready.

At this hour, there were hardly any of his regulars buying food nearby, but pairs of curious eyes followed him around.

While others were still on the sidelines, Lunard's custors couldn't hold back and ca over.

"I've got to see what skills you're learning that make you so highly praised—I've never seen it before."

"Hey, don't believe ?"

Lunard chuckled, "Just dig in."

Lin Chen casually picked up the remote, turned on the TV on the side of the food truck, and began playing a promo video.

The eyes of several curious custors focused on the screen, watching intently as they unknowingly began to swallow.

"What kind of noodles are these? They look too amazing, why are they different from the handmade pasta on the food programs?"

"That thing that looks like a burger doesn't look very appealing, but when it's sliced open, it starts oozing soup, interesting."

"Wow, this bright red tofu looks super spicy, no way I can handle it."

"I think I've seen this jelly-like dessert covered in fruit on my friend's social dia, and I heard even Dreya cos running here every day. I have to try it."

"They sell barbecue too? This food truck sells way too much stuff, oh my God, they have milk tea as well?"

"Hold on, I've never seen a food truck selling so many unrelated foods at once, do they change their nu daily?"

"You got it right!"

Lunard, puffing out a smoke ring, gave a thumbs up, "But unfortunately, there's no prize."

Seeing that Lin Chen had already washed his hands and put on his apron and mask, Lunard quickly stubbed out his cigarette and crushed it with his foot, leaning into the window to take a peek.

"What's cooking today?"

"Tofu."

Lin Chen took out a large, chilly bag of tender tofu from the insulated box, poured a bowl of water, added salt to it until slightly salty.

Cut the tofu horizontally and vertically, dividing it into small cubes, then soak them in the salted water.

This not only pre-seasons the tofu, shortening the cooking ti, but also slightly removes the raw tofu taste.

Once all the tofu from the insulated box was processed, the clean box could be used as a container for soaking the tofu, convenient for storing and keeping warm without taking up fridge space.

The recipe for the salted egg yolk tofu casserole had already been exchanged while Lucas was shopping. He'd also modified so of the side dishes, planning to add seafood mushrooms and waka to enhance the flavor.
