Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1003 Hot
Shi Jia had no idea that her first customer's attitude towards life changed after eating her cold noodles. She was even less aware that she had indirectly influenced someone in the company.

She was so busy that she barely had time to breathe.

No one who has tried her cold noodles has ever said they were bad; often, one serving isn't enough, and you'll want another.

Because the food stalls next door hadn't even opened yet, there was already a long queue in front of Shi Jia's cold noodle stall.

When Luo Qiqi and Shang Xiao arrived at the food street, they witnessed this amazing scene. The stall next door was deserted, while Shi Jia's cold noodle stall was packed with customers.

The two exchanged a glance, then, without even greeting Shi Jia, hurried to join the queue. To be honest, they were a little worried; it was Jiang Jie's first time setting up a stall, and she wasn't fully prepared, and there might not be any cold noodles left when it was their turn.

"Are cold noodles really that delicious?" Shang Xiao asked curiously, not because she doubted it, but because she had heard Luo Qiqi ramble on about it for a month.

Luo Qiqi glared at her. "Of course, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe this long queue, right?"

"Besides, haven't you eaten Jiang Jie's cooking before?"

Shang Xiao immediately begged for mercy.

Their conversation caught the attention of the people in front of them.

"Ladies, do you know the boss?" Four seemingly cheerful young men, who were obviously recent graduates like them.

Luo Qiqi nodded subconsciously, but Shang Xiao tugged at her, telling her to be quiet. "I don't know him."

The young man clearly didn't believe it.

Shang Xiao said, "She only bought the owner's cold noodles."

"Oh, is it delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious!" Luo Qiqi happily shared her opinion.

"Oh, looks like I'm in the right line," the young man said happily. He works in the nearby science park and was passing by the food street on his way home from work, intending to buy something to eat for dinner, when he saw this long queue. He joined the queue out of curiosity.

I never expected to be so impressed with this product!
"Of course!" Luo Qiqi said, noticing a large open space ahead, and quickly nudged the young man. "Hurry up and catch up."

"Uh-huh."

As time went on, the long queue showed no signs of shortening; in fact, the number of people seemed to be increasing. Shi Jia, who was mixing cold noodles, frowned and looked at the noodles in the bamboo basket. She could only make a maximum of 20 servings.

Just as Luo Qiqi had predicted, Shi Jia prepared about 60 servings of noodles on her first day of setting up her stall. According to her calculations, she could earn 900 yuan that day, and after deducting costs, she could make a profit of 600 yuan.

Earning 600 a day is an income that most people can only dream of. Shi Jia is very satisfied with this.

But now she's facing a dilemma. She's not regretting missing out on such a good flow of customers, but she's worried that the people queuing up won't be able to buy cold noodles.

Shi Jia prepared a bowl of cold noodles and handed it to the customer. She then apologized to the next customer, saying, "Excuse me, could you please wait a moment?"

The guest nodded, seemingly puzzled.

Shi Jia then turned to the little guy and instructed him to watch the cold noodle stall. He then began counting the people.
"Sister Jiang? What happened?" Luo Qiqi asked, puzzled, when she saw Shi Jia walking over.

"Qiqi's here? It's alright." Shi Jia greeted her happily, then continued counting the people. She stopped at the third person behind Luo Qiqi. "I'm sorry, sir, because it's the opening of a new store, I don't have enough ingredients. I can only serve the customer in front of you at most. So..."

The guest was a pale-faced man, tall, but he looked frail and weak.

Fang Zhengshan was struck dumb upon hearing this. "Gone? You're saying there are no more materials?"

"Yes. I'm very sorry." Shi Jia nodded apologetically. "However, there are many food stalls on the food street, you can try other foods there."

"That's all? What kind of business do you run without ingredients?!" Fang Zhengshan couldn't help but curse angrily! He had wandered around for a long time before finally finding the cold noodle stall Li Ming had mentioned, but he hadn't expected so many people. He really wanted to eat what Li Ming didn't want to share, so he had no choice but to obediently wait in line.

And now this terrible news has been delivered to him!
“Yeah!” The people behind Fang Zhengshan also left, grumbling, but Fang Zhengshan refused.

Shi Jia was helpless. So many people were still waiting, and they couldn't linger here. He could only turn and leave, ignoring Fang Zhengshan. But as soon as he turned, Fang Zhengshan broke down. "No way! I have to eat your cold noodles! I don't care what method you use, you have to get me a bowl of cold noodles."

People around: Look at this weird JPG!

Shi Jia gritted her teeth and left quickly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Back in front of the food cart, Shi Jia took out a wet wipe to clean her hands, put on new disposable gloves, and continued working.

"Would you like it extra spicy, medium spicy, or mild spicy? Would you like peanuts, scallions, and cilantro?" Shi Jia continued to maintain a smiling face.

"Medium spicy, I'll eat anything else," the customer said. "Are you new to this stall, boss? I don't think I've seen you before."

"Yes, I just arrived in Lin'an," Shi Jia said. "I heard that the catering business is good in Lin'an, so I came here."

Upon hearing this, the customer couldn't help but laugh. "Then you've definitely come to the right place. As long as you keep the taste the same, you'll never have to worry about not having customers."

Although he had never eaten this cold noodle dish before, he knew from the aroma of the chili oil and the vinegary flavor of the sauce that it must be delicious.

"Thank you for your kind words." Shi Jia smiled and quickly packed the cold noodles and handed them to the customer.

"Hehe, I wish the boss lady a prosperous business." The customer took the takeout box, took a deep breath, his saliva was gushing out, and he quickly left with the takeout box.

Sigh, he needs to find a quiet place to enjoy his meal.

The 20 servings of cold noodles were quickly sold out. Shi Jia looked at Fang Zhengshan in surprise. The other man stared at him with red eyes, as if someone had bullied him.

"Sorry, sir, we're out of cold noodles."

"I know, cucumber salad and pancakes?" Fang Zhengshan had already bought a bowl of cold noodles from the shop next door for 15 yuan, but the smell of the cold noodles from this stall kept stimulating his sense of smell.

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, and in the end, he stood in front of the cold noodle stall that had embarrassed him.

Shi Jia nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, is there anything else? Does the guest need anything?"

"A serving of cucumber salad and a rolled pancake."

Shi Jia nodded, took out the tin box containing cucumbers, packed one portion into a takeout box, then took out a pancake and spread it on the stainless steel cutting board. She added shredded potatoes, cucumbers, and ham, and skillfully rolled it up.

"Alright, sir, that'll be 20 in total." Shi Jia smiled and handed the items to Fang Zhengshan.

Fang Zhengshan paid the money, eagerly took the wrap, and started eating. The moment he tasted it, he felt alive again, and all the grievances he had just felt disappeared.

"good to eat!"

Shi Jia nodded with a smile.

The two people who were playing with the little one nearby heard that Shi Jia was also selling crepes and cucumber salad, and they both scanned the QR code to pay, before Shi Jia could stop them.

"Okay, but this is the last time!" Shi Jia packed cucumbers for the two of them and made them into pancakes. Out of personal preference, she made the pancakes for them generously filled and large.

Fang Zhengshan, watching from there, immediately became displeased. "Boss, how can you treat them differently! Even if they are your friends, didn't I pay them?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia stiffened and gave him an awkward smile.

"Um, sorry, it was indeed my fault, but they are my friends. They were supposed to pay me, but they didn't want to take advantage of me, so I could only make them a little more," Shi Jia said. "How about this, I have some cucumbers left, not enough to make one serving, so I'll give them to you."

As she spoke, she took out a takeout box, packed it up, and handed it to Fang Zhengshan.

Fang Zhengshan immediately felt a little embarrassed. "Um, thank you, boss."

"Boss, one order of cold noodles, please." x2
"Sorry, the cold noodles are sold out."
