Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 253 - 176: As Long As the Work Is Done Well, There’s Plenty to Eat!

Lin's gaze shifted and fell on three sky-blue fragments, and he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

He had saved up for so long and finally gathered enough fragments to exchange for a bottle of Potion!

With a mental click, the three fragments shone brightly, intertwining and merging together.

[Ding, synthesis successful, please choose the attributes of the Potion you wish to exchange]

[Strength Potion: Permanently increases muscular strength upon consumption, and your appearance will change accordingly]

[Stamina Potion: Permanently enhances cardiovascular function and overall endurance upon consumption]

[Sensory Potion: Permanently increases sensory acuity upon consumption]

The three options appeared before his eyes, all of them simple and straightforward.

He had consumed the Stamina Potion before, and since then, he had indeed been able to easily adapt to high-intensity work without becoming overly fatigued, but after three or four days of continuous high-intensity work, his body still couldn't take it.

The Strength Potion, unsurprisingly, would improve his efficiency at work, including chopping speed, material handling speed, and even endurance.

The Sensory Potion could potentially help with taste management and the details in the cooking process.

The Stamina Potion was temporarily ruled out, as the work intensity here was not high, and there was no need to waste a precious potion slot.

He wanted both of the remaining two, and would eventually exchange for both, it was just a matter of the order.

"Now that Dais, Elsa, and Lucas are helping with stocking, the urgent need for the Strength Potion doesn't seem very high, so why not choose the Sensory Potion?"

He wasn't the type to be indecisive and directly chose to exchange it.

A colorful small bottle of Potion emerged from the halo, which he grabbed, unscrewed the cap, and downed it.

It was icy and sweet, similar to syrup, with nothing particularly special about the taste.

The empty bottle quietly disappeared from his palm, and he closed his eyes, calmly feeling the changes in the surrounding environment.

"Tap... tap... tap..."

"Woo~~~"

The faint footsteps along the corridor gradually faded away, and the sound of the sea breeze slipping through the window cracks was unbelievably clear, occasionally accompanied by the dull noise of curtains hitting the walls.

Opening his eyes, the room remained as quiet as ever.

He glanced at the gently swaying curtains, closed his eyes again, and focused on listening, and the sound gradually became clear in his ears. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Plink"

The water droplets from the showerhead in the bathroom shattered as they hit the tiles.

Opening his eyes again, his face was full of joy.

"Awesome, buddy, this thing is way more impressive than the Stamina Potion!"

Not only that, he now even had a hunch that the seafood quantity he just ordered from Boss Magna wouldn't be enough.

He had already ordered 50% more, at least six to seven hundred boxes, which should be enough for over two hundred customers, assuming three boxes per person.

Even though many people came to have breakfast and lunch, nearly half were hotel staff who could only come out during meal times. During other times, they couldn't slack off, especially after buying food, they'd undoubtedly be caught.

The remaining number of guests would be around a hundred at most, especially considering some might leave the next day, and new guests might not necessarily come to buy. He thought this quantity would surely be enough to sell.

So how to explain this strange premonition?

Normally, he might choose to ignore it directly, but the situation was different now; it was enhanced senses. The sixth sense should be considered a sense too, right?

The more he lay down, the more uneasy he felt; at this rate, he wouldn't even sleep well, so he simply called Boss Magna again, directly increasing the order from 150% to 200%, and the unease in his heart slowly dissipated.

"Is business going to be that good tomorrow?"

This kind of magical sixth sense was something he encountered for the first time. No wonder they say women's intuition is more accurate than men's; if it's this feeling, it would be strange if it wasn't accurate.

The next day.

After busy breakfast and lunch, as well as preparing the food stall, a backend app prompt informed him that the three tables of guests for the day would start arriving between six and seven in the evening.

With nothing to do at around two in the afternoon, he decided to open the stall and start selling. Raw pickling only needs over four hours to absorb the flavors, and longer marination would make it too salty, which was unnecessary.

At first, things were normal, like yesterday, when tourists playing on the beach noticed he had set up the stall and began to gather. Later, it was the usual word-of-mouth.

"Damn, why is that Head Chef setting up shop so early today?"

Not far away, the hot dog van owner unhappily got out of his van, puffing smoke rings.

"It's good to set up shop early; he only comes out once every day anyway. I've already asked. With the sun high in the afternoon, fewer people, by evening, our business will definitely be better than yesterday."

The ice cream van guy also got out of his van, cheerfully heading towards the big red food truck: "I'm going to buy some to taste how good it is. If you're not going, keep an eye on the van for me~"

"Who said I wasn't going, I'm going too!"

"Wait for me!!"

The kebab stand guy quickly turned off his machine, threw off his apron, and hurriedly followed the other two.

Besides them, the hotel front desk also discovered that Lin Chen had set up shop and quickly texted Meng Qi to inform him.

The only people in the entire hotel who could casually "wander around" during work hours were the logistics and security team, and to eat, they had to ask them for help.
