It's past 2:30 in the afternoon.
The new batch of brine-marinated foods, roast duck, and other ingredients needed for the So Delicious stall has been successfully delivered to the outskirts of the food festival by the driver.
Waiting for pickup.
After receiving the call, Huang Tao led a group of employees to move the items.
With everyone's concerted effort, not long after, the So Delicious stall was once again filled with brine-marinated delicacies awaiting customers' arrival.
Yan Ming and Ji also briskly began hanging ducks into the fully automatic roasting machines one by one.
Huang Tao also placed lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs into the steamer, reminding Ding Suqin to keep an eye on the time.
Everything was ready, just waiting for new and old customers to come back.
Originally, customers who had gone wandering elsewhere due to the lack of brine-marinated items saw the time was about right and started returning to the So Delicious stall from all directions.
As soon as they smelled the rich aroma of brine spreading through the air, they knew that the brine-marinated items had arrived at the So Delicious stall on time.
It's not that their noses were particularly keen, but such a rich brine aroma couldn't be found at any other stall.
"Holy crap, the brine-marinated items are here, I need to get some quickly..."
A tall man, who was the first to catch the scent, quickly dashed toward the So Delicious stall.
"Can I get one of each brine-marinated item please..."
Lin Yuhan, holding a takeaway box and long chopsticks, nodded with a smile, "Sure, please wait a moment..."
Although the tall man reacted quickly, the other diners weren't slow to react either.
A group of people rushed directly to the stall, unable to stop in time, they all bumped into the front of the stall with a painful "ouch" sound.
Luckily, the stall was sturdy, otherwise, it might have been knocked over...
If there had been a large piece of glass in front of the stall at this moment, everyone would have surely smashed into the glass face-first, causing their faces to contort and twist...
This scene was truly comical!
Lin Yuhan quickly shook her head, dispelling the messy scene.
Regaining the demeanor of a qualified takeaway person, she smiled warmly and asked, "Are you all alright?"
The diners rubbed the parts they had bumped painfully and showed an awkward yet polite smile, waving their hands, "It's okay, it's okay, sorry about that! Almost knocked over your stall..."
"No problem, it was an unintentional act on your part."
Huang Tao smiled slightly and gestured with his hand, "Since everyone is okay, please line up first, one by one."
"Oh, sure!"
The diners nodded and orderly lined up.
"I'll have all the brine-marinated items except the vegetarian ones, and give me a bowl of nourishing fish soup."
Lin Yuhan listened to the orders and used her long chopsticks to clip the brine-marinated items customers ordered into the takeaway boxes.
Huang Tao also started cooking and began swishing fish slices.
The So Delicious stall became busy once again...
...
Meanwhile, in Jiangling's cousin Yang Xiabing drove to the commercial pedestrian street.
After seeing the photos her cousin Jiangling posted on his social media, she couldn't stop thinking about it, craving the color and aroma of the braised chicken wings and thighs and curious about how delicious the brine-marinated items from this stall really were.
After all, anything recommended by her foodie cousin must taste amazing!
Exactly how delicious it was could only be determined by tasting it.
After all, everyone's taste is different!
Coincidentally, her friend Lin Manli, who was the chief editor of a food magazine in Wenling City, invited her to the food festival in the afternoon, so she agreed.
With a food magazine chief editor!
Being in contact with all kinds of food all year round, she surely has the ability to appreciate it even more.
Shopping at the food festival with such a walking food encyclopedia, you couldn't go wrong!
She parked her car in the parking lot near the food exhibition.
Just after parking, her WeChat notification sounded.
Picking up her phone, she swiped the screen, opened WeChat, and checked the messages.
[My BFF is a Queen i---Lin Manli]: Bingbing, I've arrived at the parking lot near the food festival stalls, where are you now?
[My BFF is a Goddess i---Yang Xiabing]: Lili, I've just arrived and parked, let's meet at entrance B and first go to booth 88 to eat some brine-marinated items!
[My BFF is a Queen i---Lin Manli]: ??? Girlfriend, didn't you make a typo? Are we going to eat brine-marinated items???
[My BFF is a Goddess i---Yang Xiabing]: Lili, I didn't make a typo, and you didn't read it wrong, it really is brine-marinated items, let's meet at entrance B.
[My BFF is a Queen i---Lin Manli]: [Dizzy][Dizzy][Dizzy]
Yang Xiabing pursed her lips and smiled, ignoring her friend's emoticons.
Put away her phone.
Touched up her makeup and tidied her hair.
Looked into the small mirror, felt beautiful, and picked up her handbag, getting out of the car.
"Beep~"
Locked the car and walked to entrance B.
Opened the photo her cousin sent her earlier, which happened to resemble the position she was now standing in.
She planned to follow the picture to locate booth 88.
Soon after, she heard the familiar voice of her friend Lin Manli: "Bingbing..."
She turned her head and saw her friend approaching gracefully.
Her face adorned with delicate makeup, her skin appeared even fairer and smoother, her fiery red lips were as seductive as ever, a pair of cool sunglasses on her face, a black fitted coat with a strapless dress underneath, black stockings on her legs paired with leopard print pointed high heels, giving her black ensemble a touch of the wild, exuding a queenly aura.
A few short steps, creating a regal aura as she walked.
Yang Xiabing didn't hold back her compliment, "Lili, we really have such great synergy, you're all in black, and I'm all in white, a perfect black and white combo! But with your ensemble, your aura exploded instantly!"
"We just have a connection!"
Lin Manli pursed her lips into an enchanting smile, looking at Yang Xiabing dressed in a white coat and wide-leg white pants, with large earrings and a pair of large black sunglasses, a touch of red lips adding elegance, looking very fashionable and capable, couldn't help but reciprocate with a compliment, "You look great too! Fashionable and radiant!"
After a round of mutual compliments, they remembered the main reason for coming to the food festival.
"I say Bingbing! It's such a rare opportunity to come to the food festival, why eat brine-marinated items?"
Latness Manli remembered what her friend said on WeChat about eating brine-marinated items and couldn't help but tease her, "Let's go, my dear, I've been in the food magazine industry for many years, I know perfectly well which area and which hotel in Wenling City has excellent food with unique flavors, many of them joined this festival, especially the International Hotel, which launched 'Dragon Soars the Sea' at this exhibition, heard it's quite tasty, I'll take you to try the food they brought this time."
But Yang Xiabing kept her in suspense, "I say Chief Editor Lin, this time, you've miscalculated, the booth 88 we're going to later, you've never heard of it, look at this photo."
She handed her phone to her friend's eyes.
The photo filled with close-ups of braised chicken wings and legs, with natural and rosy hues, some rich sauce lingering on them, seemed even to catch the fragrance of the sauce from the glint on the skin, hinting at its deliciousness.
With the keen intuition developed from being responsible for the food magazine for many years, she felt like she found a good topic for the next issue.
Of course, the precondition was that the taste had to be good!
"Where did you get this photo from?"
"My cousin sent it to me, rest assured, it's an HD non-edited picture."
Yang Xiabing knew her cousin Jiangling well and guaranteed with her hand on her heart, smiling as she said, "Let's go find and buy the brine-marinated items, I've heard this stall's food is very popular, with lots of people queuing."
With that, she reached out and took Lin Manli's arm, linking arms with her, heading toward booth 88.
