Gourmet: Midnight Vending

Chapter 558 - 432: Forced Stall Setup! (Part 3)

I actually got forced to set up a stall?

Soon, the entire baseball stadium became lively.

A chubby guy who just arrived at the scene looked around, "This won’t do, let’s tidy up a bit."

Some other chubby guys who drove here even took travel cases out of their trunks, pulled out picnic mats, and sat down.

Indeed, for these chubby folks, even standing is a waste of energy.

Chen Mo looked at these overly enthusiastic customers and shook his head helplessly, "I still have some tables and chairs."

He took some folding tables and chairs from the cabinet and handed them to Chen Dingjun through the window display.

Not long after, the well-lit area in front of Chen Mo filled up with people.

Some sat on stools, some on their picnic mats, and some just sat on the ground, not bothered by the dust. At first glance, this scene was quite amusing.

It looked like a team-building event for a group of people.

Twenty minutes later, a refrigerated truck entered the area. Several workers unloaded foam boxes, and Chen Dingjun inspected them while directing them to be moved next to Chen Mo’s food truck, nodding in satisfaction.

Sea cucumbers, fresh oysters, tofu, squid, all the ingredients were very fresh.

With everyone watching expectantly, Chen Mo began to marinate the sea cucumbers he had just bought, then started frying scallion oil.

Chen Mo hadn’t thought of a name for this snack yet, but having tried it at the parking lot before, it was quicker to make.

Chen Mo tossed the marinated sea cucumber pieces into the scallion oil and stir-fried them. The rich aroma immediately spread across the abandoned baseball field. The crowd inhaled deeply in unison, with a few front-row diners even inching forward unconsciously.

"This aroma..." Chen Dingjun stood by the cooking station, watching Chen Mo’s movements without blinking, "The exhaust fumes ruined it earlier!"

At the parking lot, it didn’t smell this good.

Chen Mo ignored the commotion around him and focused on pouring the sweet potato batter into the pan. When the batter started to turn transparent, he looked at Chen Dingjun, "Could you help me beat the eggs?"

"Sure! Sure!" Chen Dingjun snapped to attention, immediately rolling up his sleeves. As the head chef of Yuan Shan Restaurant, being asked just to beat two eggs would be considered an insult anywhere else!

But now, Chen Dingjun’s fingers trembled with excitement.

The two worked harmoniously, with Chen Mo controlling the heat and flipping, and Chen Dingjun following instructions to pour the egg mixture evenly along the pancake’s edges. When the first fused version of oyster omelet was done, the golden edges of the egg contrasted sharply with the dark brown sea cucumber pieces, and the scallion oil sauce glistened under the light.

Chen Mo quickly cut it into small pieces and packed them into five food boxes.

This was the advantage of the large electric griddle; you could make a lot at once.

"I’ll help, let me help!"

Xiaoxia bounced over, grabbed a portion for herself, and then started serving the others, "Boss Xiao Chen, how much for one?"

Chen Mo had just calculated that an average portion of braised sea cucumber could make many oyster omelets, and if you spread out the cost of the braised sea cucumber, it wasn’t much.

Let’s just price it slightly above market rate.

"Twenty."

Thinking it would be very expensive, Xiaoxia sighed with relief at the price and began helping with serving.

Once you start making them, the speed increases rapidly.

After pouring the batter into the electric griddle once again, Chen Mo said, "Keep an eye on the heat, I’m going to make another snack."

Chen Dingjun swallowed, "There’s more?"

"Yes."

Chen Mo got off the truck to fetch the tofu and squid that had just arrived.

He looked at the people already beginning to enjoy the food around him.

All of this still felt quite absurd.

In such a bustling city, who would have thought that a small-scale night market would quietly emerge in this abandoned baseball field?

Yes, a night market with only one vendor!
