Chapter 513: Chapter 413: Joint Street Stall!

Although this street is rather narrow, it only becomes narrow after a turn. However, this time, the police came with such force that they caught up before Chen Mo even had a chance to make the turn.

They directly parked the car in front of the tricycle.

"We’re doomed, what do we do!" The pancake uncle was a bit stupefied, his mind occupied with how to handle the fine distribution.

The bubble tea guy was also taken aback. However, as long as he didn’t take out that fake license, the most it would cost him was a few hundred yuan. Being a street vendor, he had long prepared for the worst.

As for Chen Mo, he felt rather relaxed.

After all, Chen Mo was not short of money now. If he could keep vending as long as he paid the fines every day on time, he thought... it’s not a bad deal.

So, the fine was a minor concern. Chen Mo just felt embarrassed about being caught vending.

Two uniformed police officers got out of the car, one male, one female.

"Why were you running?"

The pancake uncle took out a cigarette, planning to get friendly, when he heard Chen Mo say, "Why were you chasing? If you hadn’t chased, would I have run?"

The two officers were visibly taken aback, never having met someone so audaciously self-assured.

"You ran as soon as we started chasing you? Don’t you know what you did wrong?"

Chen Mo puffed out his chest, "No, I don’t!"

The male officer shook his head with a smile, "Alright, Ah Xin, stop teasing them." Then he turned to Chen Mo, "Sir, this is our off-duty time, so when we saw you vending here, and you’re selling snacks we haven’t seen before, we thought about buying some for dinner."

The pancake uncle and the bubble tea guy both let out a sigh of relief.

One was a local from Taiwan, and the other had lived there for many years. From experience, if it’s the police’s off-duty time, generally, it’s not a big deal.

But Chen Mo wasn’t from around here!

Chen Mo was shocked as he looked at the two, "You’re off duty, but you’re still driving a government car?"

The two police officers had big question marks on their foreheads.

Chen Mo then cracked a smile, "Haha, just kidding. If you wanted to buy snacks, you should have said so earlier! Here, let’s get the stall opened!"

Fortunately, the tricycle and the bubble tea cart never really closed. Chen Mo turned around, jumped down, and instructed the guy to bring some ingredients for making bubble tea. Then he started making bubble tea pancakes with a ladle of batter.

The female officer was named Chen Kexin.

Actually, she was quite reluctant to do this job.

Because her granny was also a night market vendor, selling minced pork noodles, and had spent years roaming the streets before business improved, allowing her to rent a stable spot at the night market.

So, for mobile vendors like this one, most of the time, Chen Kexin just turned a blind eye.

Seeing the suit-clad boss sprinkle all sorts of bubble tea ingredients on the solidifying batter, even brown sugar pearls!

Chen Kexin’s eyes widened in exaggeration, covering her mouth, "Can you really eat a pancake made like this? Eating it might send you to the emergency room!"

Wow, way to talk, Miss Taiwan.

Chen Mo chuckled silently because every customer who saw the bubble tea pancake doubted it, but each doubting customer ended up being won over.

He believed even these two officers would be no exception.

Two pancakes were quickly prepared. Chen Kexin and her colleague looked at each other before carefully inspecting the cut surface of the pancake.

It looked really harmonious, yet indescribably odd.

Chen Kexin tried a big bite, getting all the pancake and the ingredients wrapped inside!

"Mmm..."

The texture and flavor were beyond her expectations, strange but delicious, making her let out a comfortable sound from her throat.

The male colleague, after taking a big bite, was astonished too.

This... the combination of pancake with brown sugar pearls, and there’s also cheese and egg inside, these completely mismatched ingredients surprisingly blended into something delicious?

Moreover, the texture of the brown sugar pearls turned peculiar after being cooked at high temperature, ultimately making them extremely tasty.

The two quickly finished their pancakes.

Chen Kexin pondered but eventually didn’t choose to have another one, because her granny’s noodle soup was always made in abundance for her to eat as a late-night snack.

If she didn’t eat it one day, Granny would be upset.

"Nice, very tasty." Chen Kexin wiped her hands and was about to leave with her colleague. After taking a couple of steps, she turned back and quietly said to Chen Mo, "Actually... if you kept running, the police might not have been able to catch you."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Kexin smiled sweetly, gave Chen Mo a wink, and left the street without saying more.

"What did she mean by that?" Chen Mo pointed to the departing police car and asked.

The pancake uncle was just as clueless.

The bubble tea guy adjusted his hat, which had tilted from running, "Rumor has it, though it’s just a rumor!"

"Rumor has it that none of these police really want to catch us, but it’s part of their job. So, if they see a police car chasing us, other officers will ignore it. Of course, some officers aren’t really trying to catch us, they’re just putting on a show!"

Is there such a custom?

Chen Mo couldn’t ascertain whether this was true or not, so he didn’t dwell on it. Now, he actually had another matter to seriously contemplate.

The customers who bought pancakes earlier mostly dispersed in threes and twos. Chen Mo went straight to the point, "To be honest, gentlemen, I also want to try vending."
