Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 169 - 134: Five Hours of Deliciousness, Deluxe Fresh Fish Congee Rice Noodles

"?"

Lin Chen had a look of enjoying the spectacle, sipping the soup slowly.

Normally when someone gets hit like that while drinking soup, they'd definitely lose their temper. But this guy wasn't angry at all, his tone was so natural, like he expected it all along.

What's up with these two?

It's kind of cute!

Remember a couple of days ago, they sneaked out during work time to have lunch together, what a coincidence~

"Give it up, I won't fall for it again!"

Elise wrinkled her fair nose slightly, gave him a look, and her gaze fell on the bowl of soup in his hand.

Gray introduced it very conscientiously.

"This is the fish soup the chef cooked overnight, it's super delicious, totally different from Marseille Fish Soup, with salmon, cod, octopus, and various kinds of seafood, and the rice noodles are really amazing!"

"I was patrolling around here earlier, saw the lights were on in the restaurant, so I went in for a look and happened to catch the chef preparing meals, hehe."

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at! How many bowls have you had? Look at your belly, it's all bloated like you're pregnant."

"Huh? This is just the second bowl, but I'm indeed quite full."

Gray didn't care at all, he patted his round belly and grinned.

"Hm, if the manager catches you later and fines you, I can't help you."

Elise shook her head, then turned to Lin Chen, raising a finger: "I want a bowl too, chef, how much is it?"

"25 euros."

"Okay, I'll swipe my card myself."

She casually picked up the POS machine and completed the payment, poking Gray's shoulder.

"I'm heading back now, I can't be away from the counter too long, help me bring the stuff over later, okay!"

"Alright~"

As soon as Elise left, Lin Chen leaned out halfway to pat Gray's shoulder.

"What's up with you two, a secret romance?"

"Huh? No, no, not at that level yet, hehe..."

"Then what's the level? Tell me, I'll give her three pieces of salmon belly for free, you can say you bought them, these are limited edition!"

"I'm pursuing her!!"

"You have potential, young man!"

Lin Chen contentedly patted his shoulder again, "Good taste, Elise is indeed a beauty, wish you success!"

"Have you held hands?"

Talking about this, Gray got excited too, leaned closer to the window and whispered: "Once when no one was around, then she punched me twice. Does this count as success or failure?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute, have you never dated anyone before?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lin Chen skillfully stirred the seafood soaking in boiling water to prevent overcooking, while eating up the gossip.

"Really never dated, I was in the military before, then busy working for money afterwards, no time at all. Seems like you, chef, have lots of experience, give me some tips!"

"Do I need to give tips? She asked you to bring her food, isn't that obvious enough? Let me tell you, when you deliver the food later, if no one's around, first tell her about the salmon belly, then try to hold her hand. If she doesn't let go, go ahead and hug her shoulder!"

"Oh oh! So that's how it is!"

Gray nodded repeatedly, his eyes lighting up with anticipation.

Lin Chen was also excited explaining, quickly prepared a portion of fish paste noodles, and deliberately plated it nicely to show off the ingredients, then packed it to give him.

"Hold it tight, don't shake it, women have no resistance to beautifully presented food. If you keep it intact, you're halfway to success, understand?"

"Yes chef, I'll make sure to do it!"

Gray smartly didn't grab the plastic bag but instead folded some napkins from the food truck and placed them under the plastic bowl, holding it with his palm, slowly heading toward the hotel.

Watching the man's gradually disappearing figure, Lin Chen's mouth curled into a smile.

"Youth is wonderful..."

Thinking about that useless guy Lucas, he shook his head in disapproval.

At this moment, some are already working hard and trying to woo, while others are fast asleep in bed.

No wonder they're still single now.

He dialed the phone with a swift motion.

Rang a few times, no answer.

Forget it.

Wake up if you want.

Oh wait, seems like that guy seemed interested in Elise last night, if he wakes up...

Hehe, this could be interesting.

The sky gradually brightened, a dazzling sun slowly rose from the horizon.

Countless white seagulls hovered and cried in the sky, along with the sound of waves and the gentle sea breeze, the comfort level was at its peak.

Without guests, he had no reason to stay on the food truck.

Simply got down, set up the folding table, and put the plastic stools out for guests who might need them.

By this point, the most tiring phase had passed, feeling refreshed, with a strange sensation of a heavy head and light feet but without lack of energy.

Used to getting up early for previous food stalls, but staying up all night like this was the first time.

"Such a complicated fish noodle soup, delicious as it is and can be sold for a good price, but truthfully it's not easy money..."

"Any way to shorten the cooking process?"

A still-unused Food Truck Upgrade Card appeared in his hand, he was contemplating this.

Without a doubt, a pressure cooker is the way to shorten cooking time.

But, with limited space on the food truck, it can only hold dozens of liters at once, otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the restaurant to use large equipment.

From this perspective, upgrading the pressure cooker seems pointless.

Unless the food truck's space can expand, and more stoves and equipment can be added, otherwise there's really no good solution.

"Oh, right, forgot to check the food truck!"

While thinking, he suddenly realized he was in the midst of a challenge task, quickly returned to the truck and carefully checked everything again.
