Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 24: Five Elements Missing, Fate Deserves a Roast

The barbecue stall at Taoyuan Night Market was open until 10pm today and it still hadn't closed yet.

Wang Aiquan posted a message in the Taoyuan Night Market Food Group:
"The barbecue stall is working overtime today, so if you want to eat, you can still line up."

At this time every day, everyone thought that Li Rui had closed his stall, but when they saw the photos posted by the group owner, the group suddenly became excited.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to make it today, so I'm going to have to work overtime today [crying]."

"Limited to ten skewers, I feel like I can queue up again [dog head]"

"Still open? I'll get dressed and go downstairs now. Hey, where are my pants? Forget it, I'll go downstairs first." (Voiceover)

@不己放柔愛自由, "Group leader, there are hooligans!"

However, my colleagues at Taoyuan Night Market were not in such a good mood.

They had already divided the night market business into the first half when Li Rui was there and the second half when Li Rui left.

Business was slow in the first half, and it was only in the second half that it was officially opened.

The barbecue stall, which usually closes at around nine o'clock every evening, was open until ten o'clock tonight and showed no sign of leaving.

"Why doesn't this guy close his stall? Will he let me do business?"

"No, it's already ten o'clock. What's wrong with the barbecue guy? Old Yang, you really dislike him, so why are you silent now?"

Lao Yang, who sells fried skewers, feels indignant for a long time every night and is the spiritual leader of the anti-barbecue alliance among night market vendors.

Several colleagues were waiting for him to speak and vent his emotions.

But Lao Yang was unexpectedly quiet today.

Old Yang, who was frying skewers, held a bamboo skewer in his hand, his eyes filled with tears.

He shook the stick in his hand tremblingly, "This string should only exist in heaven, only in heaven~"

Several colleagues whispered, "It's over, another one has gone crazy."

“This is a broken heart.”

"Pinch his philtrum, pinch his philtrum, brothers, we can't just stand by and watch him die."

Grilled cold noodles, giant squid, and fried skewers quickly held down Lao Yang, while Stinky Tofu stretched out a pair of big hands and pinched Lao Yang's philtrum hard.

"Hmm, woo, what are you doing! Hmm~"

There is no barbecue stall that doesn’t close.

Although the diners were very reluctant, Li Rui's 983 skewers of barbecue were still sold out.

The last lucky person who got the order turned around and cleared his throat:

"No need to line up, today's skewers are sold out."

The people behind him were extremely disappointed.

"Give me two skewers, my friend."

Can't hear, can't hear.

The lucky guy turned his head and pretended to look at Li Rui grilling skewers, while he stepped forward to distance himself from the people in the queue behind him.

Some guests weren't that disappointed, though.

"This is my third round in the queue, so let's stop here for today."

Li Rui finished grilling the skewers for the last few customers.

Finally I have time to rest.

It was already half past eleven.

Wang Aiquan came over and handed him a bottle of ice cola.

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

"You're welcome, brother. I'm almost out of beer today. It's all thanks to you. I can't thank you enough."

Li Rui didn't bother to be polite with him. Drinking ice cola when you are thirsty is so addictive. Who can refuse it?

He opened the can and took a long drink.

"Hiccup~"

After closing the stall, Li Rui got on his electric tricycle again and said goodbye to Wang Aiquan: "Brother Wang, I won't come tomorrow. Thank you for these days."

"Okay, I'll reserve a spot for you. Oh no, Mr. Yu said he's reserved a fixed stall for you, so I don't have to worry about it."

Wang Aiquan didn't seem to react.

After the electric tricycle drove away for a long distance, he finally remembered what Li Rui said - Brother Wang, I won't come tomorrow.

what?
Not coming tomorrow?
He put the beer in the car and hurried after it, but the electric tricycle had already disappeared into the night.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going in Taoyuan Night Market, Wang Aiquan felt sad.

Brother, brother.

How can I live without you?

It takes only 20 to 30 minutes to walk from Taoyuan Night Market to Xingfuli Community where Li Rui lives.

He was riding on his electric tricycle and before he knew it, it was already midnight.

It’s time for the daily settlement again.

The first is the achievement [Five Elements Are Missing, Your Life Needs to Be Roasted], the reward for the achievement is a large golden oven.

Then the barbecue stall completed the task of selling 500 skewers for seven consecutive days, and obtained the two keys and property certificate of No. 27 Fangda Plaza, Jianghai High-tech Zone.

The golden oven, two keys and the relevant property certificates are all in the system and can be collected at any time.

Wow, I’m rich now.

Then the daily optional task is unlocked: grill 500 skewers at a fixed stall in Taoyuan Night Market, and the reward is a golden barbecue skewer.

The system issues tasks once every ten days, but this night market barbecue was completed in just seven days.

Considering the two days spent preparing the skewers, Li Rui would have to wait another day before receiving a new task.

That is to say, in between the system's ten-day tasks, he can also choose to complete daily tasks.

If I’m not busy in the future, I can go back to the old place to sell skewers.

But Li Rui doesn't plan to grill again today.

Having finally escaped from the life of a social animal in his previous life, he needs to find a balance between work and rest.

Li Rui found a place with few people, stopped the car and pulled the handbrake.

The large oven was too conspicuous, so it was better to leave it in the system first. He took out the property certificate and key first.

No. 27, Fangda Plaza, Jianghai High-tech Zone.

Since I don’t have to set up the stall today, I might as well go over and take a look in the evening.

Fangda Plaza is not far away, and the electric tricycle has two green lights on its battery level, so there should be no problem.

"Back up, please be careful."

"Back up, please be careful."

The parking lot couldn't recognize Li Rui's electric tricycle, so he had to back up.

Li Rui thought that he still had to buy a car tomorrow so that he could go places more conveniently.

At this time, the security guard at Fangda Plaza was alarmed by the sound of the electric tricycle reversing and hurried over to check the situation:

"What's going on, Master?"

Li Rui parked the car and said, "Hello, I am the owner of No. 27 Fonda Plaza. I want to go in."

The security guard looked incredulous.

The shops in Fangda Plaza are all owned by Fangda Group and have basically never been sold to anyone else.

Moreover, does a small vendor driving an electric three-wheeler have to be so wealthy? Even if he rents it, it will cost a lot of money a year.

Security guard Xiao Liu is a very professional person. Although he doubted Li Rui's identity, he was still very polite and asked Li Rui to wait for a moment.

Then a call came over the intercom:
"Boss, a gentleman said he is the owner of Shop 27."

"Where is the owner? Is his last name Wang?"

The leader in charge of the online shift played a joke on Xiao Liu, but unexpectedly the security guard actually asked the question seriously.

"Sir, what's your surname?"

"My surname is Li."

The security guard then replied to the leader: "Leader, this gentleman's surname is Li."

"Hey, how could Fangda have sold a shop? Wait, what's the number?"

"Leader, it's number 27."

"Let me take a look. Oh my god, it really is the owner. Please help Mr. Li take him over. I'll be there in a moment."

Security guard Xiao Liu continued to ask: "Leader, where is No. 27?"

“The row of shops on the east side of the complex.”

Li Rui complained in his heart that this security guard was very professional but he was not familiar with the business at all.
