Chapter 36 The celebration of the Steamed Bun Fan Group
The weather this year is a bit abnormal. It's already the end of February, and the wind is still biting, and the temperature is even lower than around the Spring Festival. At noon, the thin sunshine lazily shines on the people lining up at the door of the bun shop, but it has no effect. People wear
Wearing thick warm clothes and various cotton hats, some put their hands into their sleeves, some rubbed their hands in exasperation, stamped their feet, and kept looking towards the front of the team, waiting anxiously.
However, this situation has been going on for a while, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to it.
But at this moment, a discordant sound suddenly came from the front, causing a commotion in the originally calm team.
What ruined the atmosphere was six students who had just walked through Beijiekou. They were about to enter the bun shop door when they were stopped by Zhao Cuihua.
"Sorry, we have regulations here. The lobby only accepts elderly customers. Please queue up at the takeout counter." Zhao Cuihua explained quickly.
"We are a fan group of Baozi Man. My name is Chen Liang. We are holding a group celebration here today. We all know Brother Li." said the student wearing glasses at the head.
Other students nodded in agreement.
Seeing Zhao Cuihua's hesitant attitude, the customers queuing up at the takeout counter immediately stopped.
"Who doesn't know Boss Li on this street? I think you are here to make trouble. If you want to buy steamed buns, wait in line!" a tall young man in the queue scolded.
"Yes, this is the rule at the Baozi Shop. There were quite a few college students here in the past, and they all queued up in an orderly manner, unlike you guys." A fat middle-aged woman also stared.
Chen Rang frowned. He didn't expect that eating would be so troublesome, so he had to patiently say to Zhao Cuihua:
"We are Brother Li's fan group, and we want to advertise the bun shop online to increase its popularity."
"What kind of fan group is this? Even the Homecoming Group can't do it!"
"What else does the bun shop need to do to promote itself? It's often not available, so wouldn't it be more blind to advertise?"
"That's right, if you dare to advertise, don't blame us for falling out!"
The customers started shouting one after another.
Chen Liang and his team members had obviously never seen such a formation before, and they couldn't help but beat a little drum in their hearts.
When he was in a dilemma, Li Youran saw something was wrong with the situation from inside, so he opened the door and walked out.
"Brother Li, I'm Chen Lian, whom you met last time." Chen Lang hurriedly greeted me, pretending to be very familiar with me, and pulled Li Youran aside.
"I remember you, a student from Hainan University, what's the matter?" Li Youran asked.
"Brother Li, today is our fan club's event to celebrate one month since the founding of the group. On such an important day, all the brothers are here to support you. Brother Li, you have to make some arrangements." Chen Liang said with a smile.
Li Youran felt a little scratched his head after hearing this. There were no empty seats in the hall, and even if there were, the customers queuing up outside wouldn't do it. However, Tianhai University was his guerrilla base during the most difficult period, and these students still gave him face, and now he refuses.
It's so unreasonable.
Li Youran thought for a while, then leaned into Chen Hang's ear and whispered:
"Let's do this, you go from here to the back and go directly to the second floor from the backyard."
Chen Liang suddenly beamed with joy and quickly called the members to leave.
When Li Youran slowly walked up the stairs from the front hall to the second floor, Chen Leng and others were already waiting there.
"Brother Li, your door is harder to enter than our principal's office." Chen Liang said with a smile.
Li Youran smiled noncommittally, walked to the door of the reception room, and turned the handle.
"Let's just leave it here. I can't help it. The place is too small. Let's just leave it for a while."
Chen Liang and others filed in, looked around the room, took off their cotton-padded clothes, and sat on the sofa.
"Brother Li, you have to reward us well. Our fan base has been fighting for you during this time." Chen Liang expressed his gratitude to Li Youran with saliva on his face.
Li Youran was confused. Why, they were still fighting for themselves. Where were they?
"Brother Li, don't you know, you are now a celebrity on our school forum." A boy with short hair also came up to talk.
"Yes, there is a shill named Cataract Eyes who trolls you all day long and spreads rumors about you. We, the fan club, always fall in love with you." Another boy with a square face said proudly.
What cataract? Li Youran was even more confused.
"Okay, okay, since you guys have contributed so much, I'll give you a 20% discount today." Li Youran didn't bother to understand, so he just went straight to the point.
"Brother Li, no problem. We found a sponsor today. It's Chai Shaohua, the authentic second generation ancestor. How about it, cool. If you have anything delicious, feel free to order it." Chen Liang reached out and patted the square-faced boy.
shoulders.
"Go, we're looking for a fight." Chai Shaohua shook off Chen Hang's hand. The others burst into laughter.
Li Youran also smiled, which reminded him of his student days.
Li Youran walked downstairs to the warehouse, closed the door and took out some vegetables from the space, then walked to the kitchen and asked Aunt Qi to fry some vegetables.
Half an hour later, steamed buns, rice porridge and various dishes were placed on the coffee table in the reception room, as well as a few bottles of beer. The members of the fan club, who had been greedy for the aroma, cheered and opened their cheeks to eat.
Chen Rang picked up a large piece of stir-fried shredded pork with cowpeas and put it into his mouth. The smooth, crispy texture and rich flavor really made him feel satisfied.
"It's so delicious!" Chen Liang praised.
"Well, it's crispy and refreshing...it's delicious!" Chai Shaohua said inarticulately as he chewed minced garlic and patted the cucumber.
The others didn't say anything at all, and just kept working hard. The room was filled with the sound of "Kachi! Kachi!"
After a while, Chen Liang stopped his chopsticks, took a sip of beer, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
"Brothers, what I said is right. The stuff Bun Man does must be top quality."
"Yes, I have never eaten anything so delicious." Another boy with long hair nodded in agreement.
"Our fan club must hold more meaningful social practice activities like this in the future to increase social experience."
"That's right! That's right! It's very meaningful."
At this time, Li Youran walked into the reception room and was not surprised when he saw the fighting situation of the fan group. This was already normal.
"Brother Li, come on, have a drink." Chen Liang greeted diligently and made room for Li Youran.
Li Youran smiled, sat down at the invitation, and took the beer glass from Chen Liang.
"What? You are so attentive, do you still want a discount?"
"That's okay, let's toast to Brother Li together." Chen Liang adjusted his glasses and greeted with a smile. The members of the fan club raised their glasses together, and Li Youran couldn't refuse, so everyone raised their hands and drank it all.
"Okay, I can't drink your wine for free. I have decided to give this meal a 50% discount." Li Youran took a breath of alcohol and said with a smile.
The fans immediately cheered after hearing this, shouting loudly: Long live the steamed bun man and long live the fans.
After a glass of wine, they seemed to have drawn closer to each other. Li Youran and the fan group chatted while drinking. They are all students, so they naturally have a lot in common.
Only then did Li Youran know what the fan club was like and the forum of Tianhai University. He found it very interesting and planned to check it out when he had time in the future.
Chen Liang saw from Li Youran's words and deeds that he was not an ordinary hawker, and asked curiously:
"Brother Li, which school did you graduate from?"
"United Economics College." Li Youran said calmly.
"I know, I know. I have a cousin who also graduated from there. He has been at home for a year and a half and has not found a job. He is still dying. I heard that the employment situation of that school last year was even more disastrous.
"The long-haired boy said without hesitation.
"Lin Chuanfeng, you know better!" Chen Liang glared at the long-haired boy and scolded.
Li Youran waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.
"He's right, our school is like this. It's not as good as yours, so you should cherish it."
"Brother Li, why do you talk so old-fashioned? Haha, you are quite powerful. You have become a boss at a young age, and your business is so good. It is much better than working part-time." Chen Liang said.
"Yes, if we could be bosses, we would be willing to work part-time." Others agreed.
Li Youran shook his head, being a boss? The hard work and struggle involved are beyond the understanding of these students who have not left school.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Chen Chang quickly changed the topic. The meal lasted until two o'clock. Before leaving, the fan group strongly suggested that Li Youran expand the business area so that he would not have to go through the back door. Li Youran said that he would consider it if the conditions were met.
of.
Chen Liang also heard that the Health Bureau had issued a certificate of commendation to Baozi Pu, so he had to go to the lobby on the first floor, take several pictures with his mobile phone, and said he would post them to the forum in the evening. He was so disgusted by the cataract eye.
