140: Is the ordinary way of setting up stalls no longer enough for small business owners?

Lin Kai, using his old trick, had already smashed the outer clay shell of the beggar's chicken and was preparing for the next step.

Lu Chuan and He Jingrui, meanwhile, watched with their arms crossed, thoroughly enjoying the show.

Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly came from behind them.

“Little Boss?!”

Caught off guard, Lin Kai nearly threw the hoop he was holding.

Lu Chuan and the others also flinched in fright.

Before they could even react, a hearty laugh rang out behind Lu Chuan.

“Hahaha, Little Boss, it really is you!”

Upon hearing that highly recognizable loud voice, Lu Chuan was instantly surprised.

He had been found by a Regular Customer so quickly?!

It wasn't even the first day of setting up the stall yet; at most, only forty minutes had passed.

Recalling his past few experiences setting up stalls, Lu Chuan felt a moment of daze.

Baba Le, with an excited heart, quickly walked in front of Lu Chuan, grinning broadly with joy.

“Hahaha, Little Boss, I must be the first one to find you this week!”

Unbeknownst to them, the Regular Customers seemed to have reached a consensus at some point.

Whoever could find the Little Boss first would be the luckiest and most dashing person of the week.

Although it sounded childish, everyone was tirelessly vying for this “honor.”

Lu Chuan snapped back to reality, looking at Baba Le's expectant face, feeling puzzled, but still nodded.

“Yes, you are indeed the first.”

Hearing this, Baba Le smiled even more brightly.

He quickly pulled out his phone, opened the group chat, and smugly typed a message.

【Handsome and Charming Big Streamer: Folks, guess who I met (smirking face)】

As a result, no one paid him any attention.

Baba Le was a bit dumbfounded.

“That shouldn't be the case?!”

Just then, Xiao Hu next to him, suppressing a laugh, reminded him.

“Brother, did you forget you're live streaming? There are quite a few Regular Customers in your live stream.”

Baba Le, hearing this, immediately let out a cry of surprise and quickly looked at the live stream.

He found that the live stream was already filled with bullet comments, and the live stream footage had become choppy.

Looking at the number of viewers in the upper right corner of the live stream, he saw that it had already exceeded fifty thousand, and the data was still rising.

Seeing this, Baba Le's face instantly filled with excitement, and his body began to tremble.

These live stream numbers were something he had only dreamed of.

Yet now they had been achieved so easily?!

No, that's not right!

Baba Le suddenly turned to look at Lu Chuan, his face full of reverence and gratitude.

This was clearly the Little Boss's doing!

Only the Little Boss could have such charisma!

Therefore, I, Baba Le, am indeed on the right path!

As long as I steadfastly search for the Little Boss's stall, becoming the top outdoor streamer... no, that's not right, even becoming a top streamer promoted by the platform will no longer be a pipe dream!

Baba Le screamed madly in his heart, unable to calm the wild joy for a long time.

It wasn't until Xiao Hu, unable to stand it, tugged at his sleeve.

Only then did Baba Le, as if waking from a dream, wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth, then looked at Lu Chuan and asked the question that all Regular Customers were most concerned about at this moment.

“Little Boss, what are you selling this week?”

As he spoke, he also glanced at Lin Kai, who was throwing hoops, thinking how lucky this person was to have inadvertently set up a hoop-tossing stall next to the Little Boss.

But speaking of which, where was the Little Boss's tricycle?

Baba Le thought of this and couldn't help but look around in confusion, but found nothing.

Just then, Lu Chuan's voice rang out.

“This week, I'm selling beggar's chicken.”

Upon hearing this, Baba Le immediately turned back in surprise and said:

“beggar's chicken! It's beggar's chicken!”

“That's great, I love eating chicken! Little Boss, give me two... no, five... wait, make it ten!”

Although he hadn't even seen the beggar's chicken yet, out of trust in Lu Chuan's craftsmanship, he didn't even ask the price and directly ordered ten.

At worst, he would have to tighten his belt this month.

In front of the Little Boss's delicacies, to still consider the price, how foolish!

If word got out, he would be ridiculed by all the Regular Customers!

However, Lu Chuan shook his head, a hint of awkwardness, which Baba Le found hard to understand, flashing across his face.

While Baba Le was puzzled, He Jingrui had already leaned in and said cheerfully:

“You can't buy beggar's chicken directly; you have to get it through a hoop-tossing game.”

“Huh?”

Baba Le and Xiao Hu, hearing this, simultaneously showed a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Having already anticipated their reactions, He Jingrui smiled and said:

“Do you see those rows of oval spheres? Delicious beggar's chicken is hidden inside them! The game rules are very simple: any sphere caught by a hoop can be taken directly!”

Baba Le hesitated for a moment and raised his hand to speak.

“I know how to play the hoop-tossing game, no need for a special introduction! What I'm surprised about is, how did this hoop-tossing get connected to beggar's chicken? Could it be that the usual stall setup method no longer satisfies you, Little Boss?”

Xiao Hu, too stunned to speak, nodded frantically beside him.

“...”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan's palms tightened, and his toes began to press against the ground, instinctively resisting answering this question from the depths of his heart.

But facing Baba Le and Xiao Hu, who were looking at him expectantly, as well as the camera pointed at him, and even the equally stunned viewers behind the camera, it seemed that remaining silent was also not right.

There was no other way; Lu Chuan could only start talking nonsense.

“I am exploring, hmm, exploring new interactive models between diners and stall owners...”

Looking at the increasingly bewildered Baba Le and Xiao Hu, as well as Lin Kai and Hua Hanyao, who were secretly listening.

Lu Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth and continued to make things up with a stiff smile.

“I want to know if adding interesting game elements to the traditional stall selling business model can make diners more deeply appreciate the layers of flavor in the food...”

“...for the mastery of ingredients... remember the principles I gave...”

“...this uniquely operated stall method entering the stall industry... with improvements...”

At first, Lu Chuan spoke haltingly, but then he became more and more fluent, with one fancy phrase after another.

All sorts of “high-end” theories learned from various short video platforms were haphazardly stitched in.

Listening to Lu Chuan still talking non-stop, Xiao Hu secretly tugged at Baba Le's sleeve and whispered:

“Brother, did you understand?”

Baba Le turned to look at him, silent for a moment.

Then he suddenly clenched his fists and said with an impassioned tone:

“I understood! The Little Boss is indeed the Little Boss; not only is his cooking skill divine, but his theoretical knowledge is also unprecedented! Most importantly, his words about the new stall method entering the stall industry even more so demonstrate his desire for more people to eat delicious food; such a sincere heart is deeply admirable! He is truly the Little Boss we revere so deeply!”

“With a Little Boss like this, what more could one ask for!”
