The first food stall in the wasteland

It was impossible to work part-time, and Shen Lu would never work for anyone else in his life.

Being your own boss is tiring and worrying, but you have a lot of freedom.

After Bai Wanwan once again expressed her longing for Shen Lu's craftsmanship, she made an appointment to have dinner at Shen Lu's restaurant after returning to the imperial capital.

"You have to make a special table for me."

"Okay." Shen Lu rolled his eyes and asked, "Does your family have any connections with food suppliers?"

"Huh? What do you want?"

Shen Lu used a trick to fool others, saying that the boss's planting base that originally supplied the ingredients was attacked, and the amount of vegetables supplied was severely reduced, so she had to buy local ingredients.

Bai Wanwan suddenly became confused. This was the first time she heard Shen Lu mention the origin of the ingredients.

"Oh? Which base is your supplier from?" she asked pretending not to care.

"Huh?" Shen Lu tilted his head, "What's wrong?"

"I think the quality of the ingredients he provides is good, and I want to see if it can be a long-term supply for my family."

Through the light, Shen Lu looked deeply at Bai Wanwan, making Bai Wanwan's heart skip a beat.

Is she too impatient?

Could Shen Lu have misunderstood something?
Bai Wanwan laughed awkwardly: "I just mentioned it casually."

Shen Lu did see something. After all, she already knew that the dishes provided by the system mall had the effect of soothing and healing the spiritual sea, and Bai Lei was a superpower.

When she was setting up a street stall, Bai Lei, who was a little bit obsessed with germs, came to buy food almost every day. Later, he even wanted to cooperate with her and open a store in Shangcheng District.

At that time, she felt that Bai Lei was too enthusiastic, but now that she thought about it, he had ulterior motives.

Therefore, Bai Wanwan had a reasonable explanation for her initiative.

However, Shen Lu didn't want to expose this matter yet, so it was best for her to maintain the status quo.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. Let me ask you. As for whether the other party can agree, I can't guarantee it."

Let’s first fabricate this fictitious supplier to divert everyone’s attention.

"Really? Thank you!"

"But there's not much hope. After all, he can only supply a small part of my vegetables. I heard that the damage to the planting base is quite serious and it will take several months to repair. It will also take time for the vegetables to be resown until they can be picked."

Shen Lu compiled, almost believing it himself, "In short, he shouldn't be accepting new customers for a while."

Bai Wanwan was very optimistic, "It's okay, just put your name on it first. When his planting base is repaired, he can take on new customers."

"As for what I just said, can you contact the ingredient suppliers in Shangcheng District? The quality of the ingredients in Lower City is too poor. I want to get some ingredients from Shangcheng District."

Shen Lu brought the topic back again.

Bai Wanwan responded readily: "I'll go and ask. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you."

Shen Lu smiled, "Really? I heard that Shangcheng District will not bypass middlemen to provide ingredients to businesses in Lower City District."

"There is a rule, but our Bai family has a small planting base of our own. We don't sell it to outsiders. We only provide vegetables for ourselves. It doesn't break the rules to give you some food."

Shen Lu sighed, it’s great to have money.

Look at how wealthy the Bai family is. They have set up a small planting base to provide vegetables for their family.

Involuntarily, Shen Lu thought of the wasteland behind his shop.If this could be cultivated and grown into vegetables, it would also relieve some of the pressure on food ingredients, right?

Unfortunately, the wasteland is mostly sandy, mixed with an unknown black substance, which is sticky and hard. Not only is it difficult to cultivate, it is also not suitable for planting at all.

After gathering their divergent thoughts, Shen Lu and Bai Wanwan once again confirmed the types and quantities of ingredients needed, as well as the delivery time.

This poses a problem for Bai Wanwan, because it is her own small planting base and the varieties are quite rich, but the quantity is not enough.

Speaking of potatoes alone, Shen Lu wanted 100 kilograms, but the Bai family's planting base couldn't produce that many. There were also meat dishes such as pork, chicken, and fish, and other methods needed to be found.

But they are all minor problems, and Bai Wanwan can let people coordinate them.

"Don't worry, I will get it right for you." Bai Wanwan was very positive. After all, Shen Lu had promised her to inquire with the mysterious ingredient supplier, so of course she couldn't let Shen Lu down.

"Okay, when you come back, I'll treat you to dinner." Things are settled one way and Bai Wanwan is willing to help her, so it won't be a problem for her to cook a table of meals to express her gratitude.

While talking, Shen Lu had already arrived at the door of his shop, "Let's not talk about it for now, I still have something to be busy with."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll go back in two days, and we'll meet and chat then."

Shen Lu said yes and hung up the phone neatly.

Bai Wanwan was indescribably excited as she looked at the dimming light screen. Bai Lei quietly slipped behind her, glanced at his sister, and said strangely: "Why do you look so full of love that you are in love?"

Bai Wanwan rolled her eyes at him and flicked her brother's forehead.

"I was on the phone with Shen Lu just now."

"Hang up now? Why didn't you call me over? I just had something to ask her."

Bai Wanwan glanced at him, "Don't you have her contact information?"

"She didn't reply to my message!" Bai Lei released his authority and showed Bai Wanwan the content of his chat with Shen Lu.

No matter what Bai Lei sends, Shen Lu will either reply with um, oh, ah, or a smiling emoticon.

It's clear that he doesn't want to talk to Bai Lei anymore.

Bai Wanwan immediately explained for Shen Lu: "She has a fiancé, so it's really hard for her to chat with other boys. It's true that you didn't ask her if the weather was good or if she was tired. It's such a warm day."

Bai Lei:?
Otherwise, what else could he say?
He and Shen Lu had a normal relationship to begin with, so why not start with some daily topics and then slowly open up the conversation?

Bai Wanwan cleared her throat and lowered her voice: "I just mentioned to Shen Lu that I wanted to purchase ingredients from that mysterious ingredient supplier on a long-term basis. She didn't refuse and said to help me ask."

Bai Lei:!
"You, you, that's what you said?!"

It was too sudden!

"I swear I didn't mean it. She started the conversation on her own initiative, so I took advantage of the situation." Bai Wanwan raised her lips proudly, "Just watch. When we return to the imperial capital, I will meet with Shen Lu to talk about this matter. It will definitely be settled.”

"That's a good relationship." Bai Lei was even happier than Bai Wanwan.

Although the food cooked by Shen Lu was delicious and had special effects, it couldn't stand up to living in Xiacheng District. It would take two hours to go there either from school or from Bai's house.

It's such a waste of time. It would be great if you could eat food that soothes your spiritual sea at home.

Moreover, it not only meets your own needs, but also helps your family.

In a daze, the two siblings saw the elders of the Bai family praising the two of them and giving thumbs up.
