He didn’t expect something like that to have happened to the shop. It blew up so much that it was frightening.
Lin Fan felt that it was only the beginning. One day, everyone from all around the world rushed there after reading the Michelin guidebook and it would be crazy.
The fact that he only sold ten pieces a day had already driven people insane.
Many people still came to taste and experience it. However, they were gradually disinterested as the shop only sold ten pieces a day.
However, they were dumbfounded when they saw those that managed to buy the scallion pancakes and the expressions that they made after eating it.
Even if it was delicious, it couldn’t have produced such expressions.
It had totally changed their perspective on things.
On the Internet.
“D*mn, I’m done. I’ve never seen a scallion pancake shop with so many people in the queue. It must be long since they last ate a scallion pancake.”
The netizen was pretty angry and he immediately posted a picture online.
Those netizens that didn’t know the background story were stunned after seeing it. They felt that it was impossible.
“That’s crazy. Even those shops that went viral on the Internet wouldn’t have had so many people. Furthermore, some of these shops even spent money to hire actors to queue up at their shops.”
“What do you know? This is Master Lin’s shop. The second restaurant in the country with three Michelin stars.”
“He only sells ten pieces a day. Even if you’re super influential, you wouldn’t be able to make Master Lin sell an extra scallion pancake.”
“That’s bullsh*t. I don’t believe it. If the richest man in the country were to come over, he would have to sell it to him.”
“^ Are you stupid? Even if the richest man came, it would be useless. Do you believe that?”
The discussions online were intense. Most of the netizens felt that it was literally impossible. However, those that knew the truth knew that it was really difficult to buy any of Master Lin’s scallion pancakes.
Even those re-sellers might not be able to get their hands on it because they also had to depend on their luck. Even if they were lucky enough, the price people had to pay was crazy. Those that weren’t rich wouldn’t be able to afford it.
At Cloud Street.
Fraud Tian was feeling really helpless. “Do you think we should expand our shop?”
Lin Fan replied, “What for? I feel that the current space is good enough.”
“It’s okay but look at the number of people here today. It’s crazy. Our shop can’t possibly contain that amount of people,” Fraud Tian said.
“Sigh,” Lin Fan sighed in frustration. “I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Remember when we first set up this shop just to make a living? We just wanted to earn a little bit of money and have a peaceful and carefree life. But look at things now. There are so many people and it’s so stressful. I regret opening this shop. If I had known about this, I would have continued with my pushcart business.”
“Don’t say that, Brother Lin. We’re a family here. Don’t say any hurtful things.” Zhao Zhong Yang immediately covered his face in fear. He was afraid that Brother Lin would say something that was hurtful to him.
He realized that Brother Lin was getting better at pretending to be awesome. If he wasn’t cautious, he would probably be hurt by his words.
Lin Fan helplessly shrugged his shoulders. He wasn’t pretending to be awesome. That was just what he was thinking about.
The next day!
Lin Fan looked at the large crowd outside and he didn’t even know what to say. There were so many of them waiting outside and he only sold ten pieces of scallion pancakes a day. Was that really a good idea?
If he indirectly started a fight because of the fact that he only made ten pieces of scallion pancakes a day, wouldn’t he be beaten up too?
He kept thinking about that and he didn’t know what to do.
The experienced townsfolk who had been queueing up since a long time ago didn’t want to say anything. They knew that it would be useless.
Was that going to be easy?
They looked at the crowd and it was horrifying. In the future, the chances of them getting their hands on the scallion pancakes would be even lower.
In the afternoon.
Wu You Lan said, “Brother Lin, a lot of people complained that we shouldn’t be selling only ten pieces a day.”
Lin Fan looked at Wu You Lan helplessly. What could he do? Selling ten pieces of scallion pancakes daily was considered to be decent. If he were to increase the number of scallion pancakes, wouldn’t he die from exhaustion?
“Hey, did Elder Dog go out again?” Lin Fan asked.
“Yup. He goes out early in the morning every day. I don’t know the reason why. Usually, he would be back by the afternoon,” Zhao Zhong Yang said.
He realized the weird habits of Elder Dog. Initially, he wanted to broadcast the habits of Elder Dog but he didn’t expect Elder Dog to run away so quickly every morning. He really couldn’t find him at all.
Lin Fan was still thinking about completing his Encyclopedic task. He just didn’t know how long he needed.
He had to train Elder Dog till he became godly. He didn’t know how godly Elder Dog had to be before he could complete the task.
At that moment.
A group of people appeared at the shop.
“Master Lin,” Cui Guo Bin smiled as he brought a group of people to the shop.
Lin Fan was stunned when he saw them, “You…… you……”
He didn’t know who these people were.
Cui Guo Bin looked disappointed, “Master Lin, we had such a good conversation over the phone. Did you forget about me?”
“Oh, Coach Cui. Sorry, I couldn’t react in time.” Master Lin smiled awkwardly. “Come, quickly come in.”
Cui Guo Bin smiled and brought some people in as well.
“Hi, Master Lin. I am Xu Song.”
Lin Fan looked at him and smiled, “I know who you are. I saw some pictures of you online before. You’re quite good-looking.”
Xu Song was embarrassed. Although the two of them were youngsters, he felt a little pressured as he was looking at the famous Master Lin.
Then, the others started to introduce themselves. They were really impressed by Master Lin’s table-tennis skills.
This time, they came to Shanghai to help Xu Song treat his injuries and play some matches with Master Lin. They wanted to see the difference between their abilities.
Cui Guo Bin smiled, “Master Lin, your shop is amazing. It just got three Michelin stars. It’s only the second one in the country. Furthermore, you’re so good at table-tennis. That’s really impressive.”
Lin Fan laughed, “I’m just okay.” Then, he looked at Xu Song, “Does he have a leg problem?”
Cui Guo Bin nodded, “It’s an old injury. He injured it in the past. Because of the intensity of the competition, he didn’t manage to rest it. Now, it’s been affecting him since then. He has seen a lot of doctors before. Even though it was effective, they couldn’t solve the root of the problem.”
“Sit down. Let me have a look.” Lin Fan touched Xu Song’s legs and nodded. “It’s not a big problem. Don’t worry. I can get rid of it completely.”
Xu Song was in disbelief, “Master Lin, is it really curable?”
Cui Guo Bin gently nudged Xu Song’s head, “Why are you so doubtful? Master Lin is a godly doctor, did you know that? In the past, when Master Lin was practicing, he had treated a lot of complicated illnesses.”
Before coming to Shanghai, Cui Guo Bin had done a lot of research on Master Lin online. He was really shocked by it.
He felt that this person was literally incomparable. It was indeed infuriating to compare himself to others.
Xu Song gently rubbed his head, “Brother Cui, I’m not being doubtful. It’s a pleasant surprise.”
If someone else had nudged his head, he would have been furious. However, he respected Brother Cui a lot and he had guided him in his life. Even if Brother Cui were to beat him up, he would have no complaints.
That was how much he respected him.
