"50 portions?"
Lin Chen was a bit dumbfounded.
This dude is even more generous than Sister Haofang!
Didn't even ask about the menu, just blurted out fifty.
If such a bold guy had been here before, he definitely would remember, but...
He looked up.
Wow, isn't that Sister Haofang standing with her family a dozen meters away?
Is this her husband?
After George made a snide comment, the blonde instantly turned red, glanced at Marian not far away, and cursed softly.
"Spineless guy, go hold onto your fat wife for life!"
With that, she swayed her slender waist and walked off without looking back.
Lucas elbowed Lunard: "Hey bro, you two seem pretty acquainted?"
"Kinda."
Lunard nodded then shook his head, "In our line of work, we earn a lot but it's really tiring, and there's hardly any free time to find a wife. Sometimes we finish work at midnight, and when the stress gets too much, I just want to grab a drink."
Lucas had an epiphany, shot him an understanding look, and slurped a spoonful of ice jelly into his mouth.
Lunard wiped the lipstick mark off his cheek, quickly drank a bowl of ice jelly, and leaned over to the window again: "Boss, give me two more to-go!"
George and Marian's group just realized that what's being sold today from the food truck wasn't snacks or meals, but desserts.
Desserts... can you take those home to eat?
"Don't worry, you can pack them. Keep them in the fridge for 4-6 days, and I'll pack the fruit separately for you!"
Lin Chen was already very familiar with Sister Haofang's style, waved at her directly to signal before starting the busy packing work.
Lunard only had two portions to go, so Lin Chen prepared those first and handed them to him.
"Thanks, bro, your skills are pretty good. Maybe we can collaborate someday~"
The business at Brasil Food Truck was always booming, so collaborating would definitely be beneficial.
"Sure, no problem, I'll give you a discount next time!"
"No need, charge me the usual, I wouldn't give you a discount either haha~"
Lunard held a bowl of ice jelly in each hand and returned to his food truck, handing one of them to his helper.
"Here, take a break and enjoy some Great Xia dessert while I handle these orders."
"Thanks, boss!"
The young guy's face was flushed from the heat, his T-shirt completely soaked. Upon seeing the ice-cold dessert covered in a fine white mist, it was like salvation. He picked it up and drank it quickly.
"Glug"
The refreshing mint was so piercing it shot straight to his head, instantly refreshing his previously overheated and dizzy brain, bringing him back to life.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Oh my gosh, what is this? How can there be such a strong minty taste?"
"Feels great, right?"
"Great! Super great!"
The young guy eagerly took a scoop of fruit, then drained another mouthful of the ice jelly.
This jelly-like thing was incredibly smooth. You could scoop it with a spoon, but a gentle sip and it would break apart, easily sliding down the throat without needing to chew.
Completely different from the thick Western jellies, it's silky smooth with a hint of sweetness and an indescribable botanical fragrance.
"What kind of jelly is this? So soft, it's delicious!"
"I don't know, maybe it's made from some special Great Xia ingredient?"
Lunard swiftly worked with both hands handling different ingredients on the griddle and still had time to roast soft cakes with seasoned oil without missing a beat while chatting with his helper.
Marian's family of nine gathered near the food truck, accepting bag after bag of takeaway boxes from the window. The kids and elders held colorful fruit ice jelly, occasionally exclaiming in delight.
"Chilly! So chilly!"
"Sweet, icy, I love it~"
Two porcelain doll-like little girls leaned against a flower bed, holding small spoons and scooping ice jelly, their little feet swinging back and forth restlessly. Two boys sat beside them, also slurping their ice jelly.
Such an adorable sight made many girls stop to watch, and some even wanted to take pictures with them.
"Hey, little princesses, where'd you get your dessert? It looks amazing!"
"Over there~"
The crowd followed the little girls' pointing and saw it was just a few meters away at a food truck with no sign.
At that moment, George was holding two big bags filled with clear boxes of ice jelly, feeling the weight in his arms was making his hands go numb.
Marian, on the other hand, was holding various colorful fruits, sipping from her ice jelly at the window with a look of utter joy on her face.
"Honey, could you find time to set up in Lania for a few days? There are primary, middle, and high schools there, and several kindergartens, lots of residents, business surely wouldn't be bad!"
"Uh..."
Lin Chen looked a bit troubled: "I really appreciate your love for this, beautiful lady, but I work here and only set up my stall after work, by the time I get over there it might be midnight..."
"Oh? You have another job?"
Marian nodded disappointingly: "Alright then, I understand why you set up so late, it's tough on you."
Beside them, George seemed like he had something to say, hesitated for a few seconds, then silently closed his mouth.
Seeing numerous curious female customers approaching, Lucas's work spirit took over, and he called out loudly.
"Come take a look! Handmade Great Xia jelly, mint and brown sugar flavors, refreshing and thirst-quenching with fresh fruit, only five euros a portion~"
"Nowadays food trucks have attendants too?"
The ladies glanced at him curiously, quickly refocusing on the food truck window.
The table inside the window was filled with a variety of seasonal fruits, along with dried fruits and nuts.
The food truck owner was a young Asian guy, busy loading food into transparent takeaway boxes.
Seeing the plastic bags the couple was holding, filled to the brim, piqued even more interest from the ladies.
Bringing the whole family, eating there, and then packing a ton to go, how delicious must the dessert be?
"Boss, I want a portion!"
"I'll have one too, no nuts, brown sugar, please."
"Which flavor do you recommend? Mint? Then I'll have the mint one."
"Five euros for so many fruits? That's quite a bargain, give me two portions."
Lin Chen, nearly moved to tears.
Every time Sister Haofang showed up, his business would explode, this time traveling hundreds of kilometers with her family to support him.
"The last bag, please take it, lovely lady, next time I'll give you a few free portions!"
"Alright, alright, wish you booming business!"
Hearing the promise of freebies, Marian's slight dissatisfaction immediately disappeared, and she casually handed the bag to George, happily sipping her ice jelly.
George, looking on the verge of tears: "Sweetie, hey sweetie, I want some too..."
