Chapter 117 Breakfast Ranking No. 1
Xiao Cheng took another bite of the bun.
Then, using words that weren't very fluent but sounded quite sincere, he praised her again.
The few fans who lived nearby also became curious and said they would come and try it the next day.
It's not just these few internet celebrities.
Everyone who came for breakfast out of curiosity praised it highly after tasting it; there wasn't a single negative review, only positive ones.

Chen Yuan's "vegan breakfast shop" has become incredibly popular.
Especially its rather interesting storefront, which has become one of its landmarks.
On the map, the shop's marker was highlighted, and its rating instantly soared to the top of the local breakfast list.
The comments were almost entirely positive, with people posting pictures.
The few negative reviews were all due to the long queues and the impatience of the waiters, but no one said the food was bad.
"If you come, be prepared to wait in a long line, but I think it's worth it. The key is that it's good quality and inexpensive, with a very high cost-performance ratio."
"I came all the way from another district just to eat here, it was totally worth it!"
"Everything at their restaurant is incredibly delicious; there's not a single bad dish. I highly recommend everything, especially the pork buns, which received unanimous praise from my whole family."
"The owner is really honest; the prices at his breakfast shop are the same as other shops."
Chen Yuan was completely unaware of these things because his hand speed couldn't keep up with the selling speed.
He was busy all morning.
Not only was sweat dripping from his forehead, but his clothes were also soaked through.
Just then, the system notification sounded again.
[Congratulations, host! Your breakfast shop's influence has expanded throughout the city, and you've earned the title of number one breakfast shop in the area.]
[Award Awarded: Downtown Restaurant (Unfinished)]
[Reward: Fully Automated Breakfast Shop Mode. Kitchen upgrades will be refreshed at midnight tonight.]
Chen Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing the news.
It would be wonderful if breakfast shops could truly achieve full automation.
Even though he can recover his strength quickly, being so busy every day is indeed tiring. Most importantly, the slow service greatly diminishes the diners' mood.
At the same time, Chen Yuan also developed a strong curiosity about the restaurants in the city center.
"Restaurants in the city center don't rent cheaply. The system finally gave us a break, but it's still a bare-bones space. How much will it cost to renovate?"
"Tsk, I definitely have to go check it out this afternoon."
At that moment, a voice rang in Chen Yuan's ears.
"Boss, I've been waiting for ages, are the steamed buns ready yet? If not, a bowl of porridge would be fine too, I'm starving."
"I'm also waiting for the steamed buns. They smell so good!"
"Are the fried dough sticks ready? If not, I don't want steamed buns, I want fried dough sticks instead."
The long queue was still forming.
On the other side...
Inside a Chinese herbal milk tea shop.
Lin Wei gripped her phone tightly, the screen showing a video of Chen Yuan's breakfast shop being completely surrounded by people.
Slide down.
The next video is still...
Scroll down further.
still.
The scene is filled with steam and crowds.
The man she had once despised was now the object of everyone's admiration.
She turned to look at her shop.
Only a few guests came in here and there.
Seeing this, Lin Wei was so angry that her chest heaved, and her nails almost dug into her flesh.
"Why should I?!"
"I was the one who contacted Sister Sweetie first! This wave of attention should have been mine, how come Chen Yuan stole it all?!"
She had everything planned out perfectly.
As long as Sister Sweetie goes live and does GG, she can leverage the influencer effect to make the store popular.
But now?
Sweetie turned into Chen Yuan's "publicity ambassador".
Is this correct?
Thinking of this, Lin Wei became a little angry and immediately dialed the number of Sister Tian's assistant, speaking in a particularly harsh tone.
"Feed? Get me Sister Sweetie!"
The assistant on the other end of the phone was very businesslike.
"Excuse me, miss, Sister Tian is busy filming and can't answer the phone right now. Is there anything I can help you with? Please tell me and I'll pass on your message."
"I don't need you to relay my message. I just want to ask her why her publicity efforts haven't been very effective. This is different from what she said at the time."
"I'm sorry, we have fulfilled our contractual obligations regarding your previous cooperation. As for the subsequent effects, that is not our responsibility."
"That's not what you told me back then."
"I'm sorry, it didn't meet your expectations, but the contract has indeed ended."
Lin Wei sneered in anger.
"Doesn't your contract state that if I'm not satisfied with the advertising results, I can request continued advertising? So, start advertising for me now."
"I'm sorry, ma'am. First, the contract states that the promotion can continue within the next day, but that's outdated now. Second, Sister Tian's schedule is full, and she can't be scheduled for the time being."
"Can't get a slot? No availability? What do you mean by this? When she went to Chen Yuan's shop to do a live stream, why didn't you say there was no availability? Are you just playing favorites?"
The voice from the other end remained indifferent.
"Please watch your wording. We select our partners based on content quality. If you have nothing else, I'll hang up now."
beep...
The phone call was abruptly ended.
Hearing the busy signal from the other end, Lin Wei angrily slammed her phone onto the sofa.
"Good! Very good!"
She stood up and stomped her foot angrily, the high heels making a crisp sound on the ground.
"Are you all bullying me?"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"She's just Sister Tiantian, right? I can always hire someone else! I'm going to make this shop a success eventually!"
The time has come to 8:20.
The white paint in the steamer was thick, but Chen Yuan put down his work, picked up the megaphone, and shouted to the back.
"Excuse me, neighbors, the last batch has been put in the steamer and will be ready in 10 minutes."
"Apart from the steamed buns, all the other food items are also in their last batch. Today's portions are limited, and we will not be accepting any more orders."
After saying that, Chen Yuan took off his apron, washed his hands, and prepared to leave. He said that the rest of the sales would be enough to leave to Aunt Li.
As soon as these words were spoken, the latter half of the group immediately stirred.
"I've been queuing for ages, why are they stopping now?"
"It's not even 8:30 yet, why are you closing up shop already?"
"No, there are so many people here, what's wrong with making two more baskets? We're all waiting to eat, we can't just wait for nothing."
Those at the back of the line were unhappy.
Most of them came specifically after watching the live stream.
Just when it was about to be his turn, the boss said there weren't any left.
Anyone would be annoyed by this.
A man in a suit pushed his way forward, blocking Chen Yuan's path, and said with a frown.
"Boss, no offense, but doing business requires flexibility. Look at all these people waiting. Could you hire a couple more people to steam a few more baskets? Wouldn't that make a profit?"
"You're so young, how can you turn down money?"
Have you paid your mortgage? Have you paid your car loan?
