At 5 p.m., Tong Ya drove frantically to the restaurant with Tuan Tuan.
"Tuan Tuan had a competition today, so we got back late!"
Without thinking, Tong Ya explained, then hurriedly put on her apron and gloves and went into the food truck.
"Chen Yu, boss, you haven't started seeing this girl, have you? Why does she come to help every day?"
Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment.
Before he could speak, Tong Ya quickly explained.
"Actually, we're university classmates and have always been very good friends. He got divorced, and I felt sad, so I came to help out a bit!"
This explanation immediately gained everyone's approval.
After all, they were university classmates, and it seemed natural to lend a hand when one was in trouble.
Chen Yu didn't feel it was right to say much more, especially since Tong Ya had previously mentioned she was here to repay a favor.
By 6 p.m., the food truck was surrounded as usual, packed to the brim.
In contrast, the breakfast stall next door was deserted, without a soul in sight.
"Old Wang, what do you think he puts in there? Why is it so delicious?"
"How should I know? I had someone buy some yesterday and tried to reverse engineer it. Sure, we can make it, but the taste is miles off!"
"What are we going to do? With this food truck here, won't we be reduced to starving?"
"Tell me about it. My bun shop hasn't opened for two days now. How come no one ever tires of his sugar cakes and vegetable pastries? People should buy some buns now and then to change things up!"
"If you ask me, he's definitely using something illegal. Why don't we report him and let the authorities check it out properly!"
"Yeah, that sounds great. Whatever we can't figure out, the authorities definitely can!"
...
Amidst their chatter, a group of people noisily took out their cellphones and dialed numbers.
By 8 p.m., all the fried cakes and vegetable pastries had sold out.
Luckily, Chen Yu had set aside fifty sugar cakes and thirty vegetable pastries beforehand.
Aside from serving as their dinner, he also needed to take twenty sugar cakes and ten vegetable pastries back for Tang Xiaowei.
Otherwise, Tang Xiaowei might actually starve to death!
As they were cleaning up, the piercing sound of police sirens suddenly rang out. A few authoritative officials headed straight for the food truck.
"Sir, we are from the health department. We received a report that you added some bad substances to the food. Please provide samples for testing!"
Chen Yu was initially stunned, then quickly realized what was happening.
It looked like a malicious report from a few neighboring shops.
"Sorry, all the fried cakes and vegetable pastries sold out today, only a few left over are for us to eat!"
"We still need to check those!"
The officials were quite overbearing and moved to a table, ready to take away the remaining fried cakes and vegetable pastries.
"Wow! You guys are so mean, taking these away, what will we eat? Daddy has been busy all day and hasn't eaten anything, and you're just taking the food away!"
A adorable little girl was sobbing and wiping her tears—how could anyone resist?
Tong Ya stepped forward as well, "Our documents are in order here, fair and square. How could we possibly use something bad? There must be some mistake!"
A little girl had almost melted them with cuteness, and now here was a stunningly beautiful woman with great temperament.
Take another look at Chen Yu's already handsome features.
How could this not look like a family of three!
Moreover, as the old saying goes, 'the countenance is the portrait of the soul', the health officials were also convinced in their hearts there was nothing wrong with the food truck.
After all, what they were selling, they were eating themselves!
"Sorry, but since we received a report, as per regulations, we still need to inspect it!"
One of the officials took an instrument out of the vehicle.
"Don't worry, we'll only take one for sample testing!"
Tuan Tuan stopped crying then, "Do you really need just one?"
The official completely dropped his authoritative tone, "Why would uncle lie to you?"
Pouting, Tuan Tuan took out two fried cakes from the bag, handed one to the official, and ate the other in front of him.
This made the official quite embarrassed.
Such a small child, eating these as meals, not only had no issues but also looked so pretty and cute.
They couldn't believe there was anything wrong with this food to save their lives! Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Yet, they still had to follow the necessary procedures.
The official placed one fried cake into the instrument for analysis.
Before long, the instrument displayed a normal reading.
"Sorry, it looks like we received a malicious report. We've caused you trouble, and as for those who made the malicious report, we will deal with them severely!"
Chen Yu waved it off generously, "It's no problem!"
Almost all the owners of the breakfast stores in the distance were poking their heads out, quietly observing everything happening in front of the food cart.
But when they saw the officials leave and Chen Yu remain unscathed, they were momentarily stunned.
They're all ordinary ingredients, so how can Chen Yu make such delicious food?
Just as they were shocked, the officials' vehicle abruptly stopped in front of their stores.
"You are suspected of making a malicious report, please come with us!"
The shop owners were baffled.
"Nonsense, it was an anonymous report, how do you know it was us?"
The officials sneered, "Did you really think we're just sitting around doing nothing?"
At this moment, Chen Yu also saw the scene from afar.
Tuan Tuan stood with his arms akimbo, showing a look that seemed to roar like a fierce dragon.
"I knew it must have been these people causing trouble!"
Tong Ya stood with her hands behind her back, behind Chen Yu.
"Now I understand why you said making fried cakes is just like life!"
Chen Yu felt a bit proud, "Actually, as long as you are good enough, no one can beat you!"
Afterward, Chen Yu picked up a cloth and continued to clean the food cart.
[Congratulations, host, for perfectly completing one day of business. Today's net profit is forty thousand and five hundred Yuan. You have earned forty thousand and two hundred points. Your current total points are one hundred and forty-seven thousand and forty.]
Chen Yu smiled satisfactorily upon hearing the system's voice.
His daily net profit was now basically maintaining at over forty thousand.
Not considering the costs needed for tomorrow, his total personal savings had also reached one hundred and forty thousand and seven hundred and twenty Yuan.
This amount was more than enough to pay Auntie Li half a year's rent in one go.
While he was pondering, Zhang Fan was already hastily approaching with Auntie Li.
"Little Chen! Something came up, and I was late. Lucky that I ran into Xiao Zhang who gave me a lift!"
Chen Yu hurriedly went to greet them.
"No problem, Auntie Li, I was just about to call you!"
Auntie Li enthusiastically grabbed Chen Yu's hand, "That's great, the previous tenant has already completely moved out. Do you have time now? Come with me and see if the place is to your liking!"
