What the heck!

Upon hearing that sound, Yin Jiakuo shuddered all over.

Is it the legendary Yellow Fairy asking for offerings?

I thought there was a rule against demons becoming spirits after 1949?

"Pff... Hahaha, you're so funny. Did you actually believe that?"

Yin Jiakuo was stunned when he heard this. He mechanically lifted his head and saw a black car stopped in front, with a girl about his age inside the window, laughing almost uncontrollably.

Even though Yin Jiakuo was bemused, he knew what was going on and his face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Jiang Xinyue slapped her chest hard, holding back her laughter before saying, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Do you know how to get to the snack street opposite Ice and Snow World?"

Yin Jiakuo calmed down and nodded, "I know. Head east, turn west at the intersection, then keep going and turn south."

He's fairly familiar with this area; at least within ten kilometers he doesn't need navigation.

Jiang Xinyue got dizzy with Yin Jiakuo's bunch of directions. She has never been able to tell east from west since she was a child; distinguishing left from right is already her limit.

"Big guy, can you say it more simply? I can't figure out east, west, south, north. How about left and right?"

Uh...

This time Yin Jiakuo was in a pickle.

East, south, west, north are simple for him, but left and right are more challenging; he always has to think about which hand he uses for writing.

"I'm not very clear on left and right..."

Jiang Xinyue felt a headache coming.

Their phones work great for navigation, but who would have thought that with 80% charge it didn't last 3 minutes in the cold before shutting down? The car's navigation didn't work either, so she became like a headless fly.

Suddenly, she brightened up: "I see you're carrying food, are you heading to Wang's Braised Pork over there?"

Yin Jiakuo nodded: "I just saw a post on Weibo, seems interesting, I was planning to check it out."

Jiang Xinyue was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly summoned him: "Get in, get in, I'm going there too. You can navigate for me."

...

On New Year's Day, there was no one setting up stalls at the snack street here, just Wang Fan's RV alone.

But in just an hour, about 30 cars had already parked here.

Estimating over 100 people had gathered, and the number was still increasing.

Wang Fan felt a bit overwhelmed; he was starting to understand Old Man Zhao's situation back on Earth in Lu Province.

Goodness, his situation was somewhat similar to Old Man Zhao's.

Huh?

Lu Province?

Thinking of Lu Province, he suddenly felt tempted.

People say once you've been to Mount Tai, no other mountain measures up. He's roamed Earth for over twenty years and never visited. Anyway, there's no destination now, why not pick Lu Province as the next stop?

Qilu Land seems to have a lot of good scenery and the culture is top-notch nationwide, wouldn't a visit there be nice?

"Boss? Little Boss? Snap out of it!"

Wang Fan snapped back to reality and saw Liu Hehe placing a large bag on the counter.

"Fish tofu, potatoes, lotus roots—I brought them for you, let's cook!"

Wang Fan chuckled helplessly and said, "How are we supposed to cook this? Am I buying all this stuff off you?"

Liu Hehe waved his hand: "Boss, being stingy, aren't you? How much can a few potatoes cost? It's a gift. Just stew them up for me and my brother to taste, whatever the cost, we'll pay."

Liu Zhaofeng also smiled: "It's not right to have the boss working overtime on New Year's Day. How could we make you pay for this? It's just surplus from home, it's worth nothing."

Jiang Xinyue sidled up too, placing a bag of lotus roots and frozen tofu on the table: "Boss, I've got some lotus roots and frozen tofu for you. Just braise the frozen tofu for me, I love it! Whatever it costs, I'll pay."

"I've got fish tofu, frozen tofu, and cabbage, boss, just braise them for me."

Yin Jiakuo joined in too.

These few were like a signal; those coming after were also carrying large and small bags.

"Boss, I've got broccoli."

"I've got potatoes, all fresh from the cellar."

"I brought dried bean curd, my favorite braised dish. Could you braise some for me, boss?"

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Looking at the towering bags before him, Wang Fan was completely dumbfounded.

What should be done? Can anyone tell me?

Waiting online, quite urgent.

Second Uncle scratched his head at the sight, never having encountered this situation before. How should it be handled?

Thinking quickly, he suddenly came up with a solution.

He hurried back to the RV and whispered a few words to Wang Fan.

Wang Fan nodded upon hearing this, thinking to himself that indeed the older ones are wiser; Second Uncle's suggestion might be the best solution.

"I think it's a good idea. Second Uncle, go ahead and tell them."

Second Uncle nodded, standing on the RV step, and shouted through a small megaphone: "Handsome men and pretty ladies, everyone quiet down and listen to me for a bit."

The crowd respectfully turned their attention to Second Uncle, waiting for his input.

"First, thank you all for your support of Wang's Braised Pork. Today we didn't do well enough to prepare enough ingredients. Taking your ingredients and selling them back isn't fitting. So here's what I propose: we'll take these vegetables but won't sell them back to you. Instead, we'll braise everything, and whether you brought vegetables or not, everyone here can have a free serving. It'll be like the friends who brought stuff are treating everyone to a meal. How does that sound?"

Second Uncle took a breath after saying all of this, almost gasping for air.

Liu Hehe, Jiang Xinyue, Yin Jiakuo, and the others who brought vegetables, their eyes brightened at Second Uncle's words, feeling a bit excited.

This method was perfect! It's like bragging rights, saying you treated a huge crowd—it's quite a prestigious thing!

Liu Hehe immediately raised his hand to show support: "No problem, this method is great."

Jiang Xinyue grinned: "I support it."

Yin Jiakuo shouted: "No issue."

"No issue."

"This way's good."

"The boss is generous; when the business opens, I'll definitely bring people to support it."

"It'll be a bit hard on the boss, but no one needs to hold back. These are all homegrown vegetables, haha."

No one opposed.

Second Uncle, standing higher, could see most people's expressions.

With so many people here, naturally some were happy and some were not.

Those who brought food looked excited like lottery winners; those who didn't looked glum, seeming like they lost five million.

"You folks who brought food, don't get cocky. My home's far, but tomorrow I'll be here; each one of you, I'll make sure you eat till you're stuffed before leaving!"

"Hahaha, you won't have the chance. Tomorrow, the boss can buy ingredients, why let us eat like this? Today just enjoy the treat, buddy. Hahaha hic..."

"Everyone, don't hold back—eat your fill, hahaha. If it's not enough, I'll go fetch more from the cellar, keep it coming."
