"Hey, Brother Fei! I have a question for you!"

Jiang Fei's tone was calm, "What's up that can't wait until work tomorrow? If you need to take leave, just drop me a message on WeChat. Why bother calling?"

Chen Mo chuckled helplessly. He was a bit sleepy in the office today, which made Jiang Fei think he wasn't feeling well.

"No, no. I want to send some flour back home. Do you know where in Jingzhou I can get the best flour, you know the kind that makes really good noodles?"

Jiang Fei smacked his lips.

"Tsk, you've asked the right person! I remember a few years ago, our company had a project with a flour factory. We went to Ning County for an inspection. There's a grain station there with decent flour. I bought some back, and even my wife's cooking improved! Hey, why'd you kick me?"

Hearing the sound of Jiang Fei getting a smack over the phone, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh. "Can you give me the address?"

Jiang Fei inhaled sharply over the phone; it seemed he got a good kick, "Just ask around on Ning County's main street. Oh, right, the boss there is a bit eccentric."

"How so?"

Jiang Fei seemed a bit hesitant, but his tone was full of mischief, "Just go. It's not far. You'll see for yourself."

Chen Mo hung up with a puzzled expression and searched for Ning County on his phone's map. It was only about 10 kilometers from his current location, quite close indeed.

Taking a taxi would cost 35 Yuan, while a bus ride would cost 5 Yuan, so Chen Mo chose to:

"This vehicle is reversing, please be careful!"

"This vehicle is reversing, please be careful!"

Heading from Jingzhou to Ning County, once leaving the city, there was a tourist road. The traffic on this road was very sparse, and the road condition was excellent. Also, driving the restaurant car had the advantage of being able to inspect the ingredients on-site without having to carry them back and forth.

Luckily, the restaurant car had been upgraded once. Otherwise, Chen Mo felt that pushing it to Ning County would be quite a burden.

The restaurant car wasn't fast; even at full throttle, its speed was about 15 kilometers per hour.

To get to Ning County, you needed to head north all the way. As he passed the bridge, Uncle Liu, who set up his stall the earliest, came running over, "Heading out so early today?"

At six in the afternoon, the summer sun was still quite dazzling.

"I'm not setting up shop today; I'm taking a trip out of town."

Uncle Liu responded with an "Oh" and said, "Then just leave your car here. When you come back, you can set up directly."

Chen Mo: "I'm driving there."

Uncle Liu: ???

Are you seriously... driving that thing out of town?

Chen Mo grinned and pressed the parking button, "I'll take two sausages for the road."

Uncle Liu dumbfoundedly went back to grill the sausages, his eyes fixed on Chen Mo's little yellow car, "Does this thing have enough battery?"

"It should be enough. I'm just going to Ning County. It's not that far."

Uncle Liu still found it hard to believe. Just then, a fresh voice interrupted their conversation.

"Make that two more! Oh, by the way, Boss Xiao Chen, I want to go to Ning County too. Can I hitch a ride with you?"

Chen Mo scrutinized the girl who spoke with some amusement, "Aren't you working at the foot massage parlor? Why are you going to Ning County?"

LuLu sighed, "Boss He has been persuading me to become a masseuse lately, saying it pays well. I took the day off today, thought I'd come here for some good food, and then consider his offer. After all, I'm free anyway."

Seeing Chen Mo staying silent, LuLu put her hands together in a pleading gesture, "Please, Boss Xiao Chen~~"

LuLu was still in that pair of denim bell-bottoms and plaid shirt, but today her hair was tied up, giving her a slightly mature look.

Chen Mo couldn't resist her persistence. In just a short while, people around were already looking, making it quite awkward.

"Alright, alright, but I'll tell you now, my car is very slow. A round trip will take about two hours. I also have other stuff to do in Ning County."

"No problem!" LuLu quickly jumped into the vehicle, curiously looking around, "Wow, your restaurant car is so clean!"

Chen Mo grabbed four sausages, waved goodbye to Uncle Liu, and climbed into the car.

"Hey, can I drive? I used to play with mini trains at the supermarket. I'm sure I can handle it!"

Chen Mo watched as LuLu pushed the forward button, and the restaurant car slowly started heading forward.

They hadn't gone far when a parked Cadillac at the bridge caught their attention. Zhang Feng and Dunzi looked around for a long time, ensuring that the big shot who got messed with yesterday wasn't around before getting out of the car.

"Mister, is Boss Chen here today?"

Uncle Liu tilted his chin, "Well, Boss Xiao Chen drove out of town. And look at you guys with that nice car. Yet, the guy with the little restaurant car has women chasing after him. What do you say to that?"

Zhang Feng and Dunzi exchanged glances.

What the heck!

You're just selling sausages. Can't you watch your words?

"Damn it!" Zhang Feng jumped back into the car, "Let's go after them and see!"

The Cadillac hadn't been on the road for long.

"Huh? Isn't Boss Xiao Chen here today?"

Uncle Liu took a glance. It was another regular customer, the one who got caught during a scandal at the food truck a while back. However, today, this customer looked different, wearing cycling gear and a helmet.

Oh right, he even brought his wife along.

"Boss Xiao Chen went out of town today, driving a restaurant car. Said he had some business to attend to in Ning County."

Old Zhao turned to his wife and said, "Isn't the road to Ning County a tourist route? It matches up with our cycling route. Shall we take a trip?"

"Why not? A round trip of twenty kilometers seems just perfect. Let's go!"

After consuming late-night snacks for days, Guo Aiping was scheming a bit. If she couldn't stop Old Zhao from eating late-night snacks and getting foot massages, she'd change strategy—turning the energy that couldn't be spent in bed into cycling miles.

They bought two road bikes, and every night, she'd call Old Zhao to cycle first and then have a late-night snack when they returned. It was perfect; their bodies got healthier, and they didn't go to the foot massage parlor anymore.

"How far ahead did they go?" Old Zhao asked.

Uncle Liu counted on his fingers, "I grilled two trays of sausages, so they've been gone about seven or eight minutes now."

"If we pedal fast, we can catch up."

"Yeah, yeah, let's go!"

Uncle Liu took a breath, and before he could start to get emotional, more people arrived.

This time, it was Zhou Hu, dressed in sportswear, along with four roommates and a godson.

"No need to ask. Boss Chen drove the restaurant car to Ning County for some business, just left ten minutes ago."

Zhou Hu yelled, "Brothers and sons, up for a 20-kilometer challenge?"

"Charge!"

"Hell yeah!"

"Let's go! We've been gaining weight these days; time to set off!"

The six from the physical education institute hollered their way north.

Old Liu picked up a sausage, sprinkled it with cumin and chili, took a bite, and then fished a small bottle of Erguotou from his pocket, gulping down a swig.

He truly couldn't understand.

Why was there such a huge gap when everyone was just setting up stalls?

As he looked up, he saw Xiao Na from the foot massage parlor approaching with a few of her colleagues.

"Don't ask. Ning County, some errands, left 20 minutes ago, took the restaurant car."

Xiao Na: ???

"No, Uncle Liu, I just wanted to ask if Boss Xiao Chen isn't here today? What's all this about Ning County and the restaurant car?"

Uncle Liu took another swig of the liquor.

He packed up all his stuff, got on his tricycle, and wobbled away in the direction he came from.

Not doing this anymore, not gonna do this.

This job is just impossible to handle.
