Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 205 - 152: A Leader Forced by Employees to Go Hungry

Jiang Shuqi rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Come on, you should know a bit about the company, these are your employees!"

"Huh?????"

Wang Ziqin was bewildered, "My employees?"

"Oh right, right! I just remembered."

Chu Yueyue slapped her thigh, "Didn't you set a benefit where employees could eat for free?"

He blinked multiple times, "Whoa? Whoa whoa whoa? It seems that's the case. Seriously, these rascals are here to fleece me first thing in the morning at seven, aren't they?"

It's obvious, even without thinking hard, the extra dozens of people are definitely insiders.

Chu Yueyue shrugged, with an expression that said 'naturally', "If my boss offered such good benefits, I'd also be willing to get up early and freeload every day."

Gray, even though he couldn't understand what they were talking about, could clearly sense that the Asian man looking at him had a gaze full of hostility.

What does that mean?

Dude, I'm not trying to hit on Miss Jiang, alright!

Besides, you've got a wife yourself, why care so much?

Afraid of causing a misunderstanding, he didn't linger long and hurriedly went into the restaurant for a meal.

"Welcome to the three of you, the ground floor is full, you can go to the second floor, though you probably won't need to."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

All three had big question marks floating over their heads.

What do you mean 'probably won't need to'? Are we supposed to eat standing?

"This waiter we haven't seen before, kind of strange, huh?"

Dais and Elsa, they've met several times, so of course, they knew this waiter was with Lin Chen, but they've never seen this person before and suddenly they're implying they have to eat standing?

They must be seasoned staff to be sent here, wouldn't make such clear mistakes, there must be something going on!

Wang Ziqin frowned and marched forward, wanting to see what the restaurant's situation really was.

The further he went on, through the dense vegetation, he could clearly see huge crowds lining up at the serving area.

Apart from a few people sitting at tables eating, most tables only had personal items on them, with no visible signs of use.

As they crossed the green zone, the sight that greeted them left the trio speechless. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"I kind of get why seating isn't needed, these foreigners really haven't eaten anything good, have they!"

"Um..."

At this moment, the small-framed Elsa awkwardly raised her weak voice and shouted, "Sorry everyone, we were informed that only less than sixty guests had booked for breakfast, including staff, we estimated only ninety would dine."

"We prepared for a hundred people, but now... these two bowls of salad are the last ones, could those who've already eaten let the new guests have a try?"

Lucas there immediately shouted too, "We're out of stock here as well, the last batches of fried rice and noodles, pepper beef is done, next to the grill is the last! Everyone, don't just eat these, try some other dishes too!"

"What?!"

"Sold out??"

"Let me just grab a bit, I'm just here, haven't had any!!"

"Beef, my favorite beef, it's gone before I got my fill!!"

The three of them stood there in bewilderment, watching these foreigners fervently snatching up dishes like they were on a frenzied shopping spree, it almost felt like they were back in a domestic discount supermarket.

"So, should we... still fight for it?"

"Fight for what? My wife's pregnant, can't handle any squeezing."

"I don't want close contact with these foreigners either, so smelly, forget it, let's just find a spot on the second floor first."

The three stayed on the second floor for about twenty minutes, until almost eight-thirty when they came down, and of course, the noisy crowd had mostly dispersed, and the serving area's appearance was clearly visible.

They were already braced for nothing to eat, each holding an empty plate as they walked forward.

"Hey? These two bowls of salad seem freshly replenished, so full as if untouched."

"Isn't cheesy mac and cheese the foreigners' favorite? Why's the cheese burnt at the bottom, at least baked here over half an hour?"

"This pail of oatmeal dried fruit can't be freshly replenished, can it? It's only a fifth gone, have they changed tastes?"

"What took you so long to arrive?"

Lin Chen was cleaning the grime around the stove when he heard familiar voices and waved helplessly to greet them.

"You see, buddy, what dishes did you make today? We came half an hour ago and couldn't squeeze in, even heard them shouting sold out."

"I was puzzled too! Nothing more than the usual seafood soy sauce fried rice and noodles, stir-fried bean sprouts, spicy chili beef, then some celery and bean curd mixed with a northeastern salad, for drinks just soy milk and red bean soup, and seaweed egg drop soup, pretty homely, right?"

"Oh right, I remembered... crap, indeed it was fairly homely."

Wang Ziqin was halfway through his sentence before he snapped out of it and quickly changed his statement.

No choice since the dishes had sold out, with only half an hour till breakfast ended, couldn't ask them to whip up more, had to settle for the leftovers to pad the stomach.

Frankly, these white people's meals that looked almost untouched tasted quite good, not any different from what you'd find at a single-order restaurant outside.

After inquiring, they realized that except for the greasy mac and cheese, other dishes had been replenished several times, and the salad was sold until there was just one bowl left.

Lucinda and Helena's faces finally looked somewhat relieved, at least proving that their group's dishes weren't bad, the guests just wanted to try them for novelty.
