At Cloud Street!
Henry Wang looked at the Baidu navigator . He took several buses before arriving at his destination .
Then, he saw a cleaner cleaning the road and he went forward, "Sorry, may I know where is Master Lin's shop?"
The cleaner was ecstatic when she saw that it was a Caucasian . "Are you here to buy scallion pancakes?"
"Yes," Henry Wang nodded .
The cleaner held onto the broom and said, "Young man, I think you should forget about it today . Master Lin only sells scallion pancakes in the morning . I think you've missed the timing . "
Henry Wang replied, "May I know where is his shop?"
He didn't expect the Chinese lady to be so chatty . He wanted to end the conversation quickly, or else he didn't know when it would end .
The cleaner was clearly not going to tell him the answer immediately, "Master Lin's scallion pancakes are seriously terrific . I would smell the aroma every morning when I come to clean the streets . It is unbearable . When you place it in your mouth, the taste is… literally indescribable . "
"I…"
"I know, you're just here to try your luck . Let me warn you that it is really difficult . People have come and queued for an entire month and they still didn't manage to buy it . They almost went crazy," the cleaner lady rambled on .
She didn't want to let go of this Caucasian in front of her .
However, this Caucasian seemed really young .
"Young man, are you married?"
Henry Wang was stunned . She wasn't answering his question at all . He just wanted to find out where Master Lin's shop was . It had nothing to do with his marital status .
Then, Elder Liang walked past, "Woman, he's asking about the location of Master Lin's shop . Are you trying to matchmake your daughter again?"
The cleaner lady smiled upon seeing Elder Liang, "I think he looks decent so I just wanted to ask . "
Elder Liang smiled . Then, he looked at the Caucasian, "Master Lin's shop is just in front . "
"Thank you," Henry Wang said and nodded . Then, he walked towards the shop . He was feeling a little fearful .
At the entrance of Master Lin's shop .
Henry Wang looked at it and was a little stunned . What kind of shop was that?
It didn't look like one that made delicacies .
"May I know if this is Master Lin's scallion pancake shop?" Henry Wang asked . He had to ask if it was the right shop .
Fraud Tian was smoking at the entrance and when he saw someone approaching the shop, he immediately went forward, "Yes, this is the famous Master Lin scallion pancake shop . However, the timing for the scallion pancakes has passed . Do you want to have your fortune read?"
Henry Wang looked around, "I think you don't seem like you sell delicacies . Where is the cooking set up?"
Fraud Tian smiled, "We don't need to set up anything . We just need a pushcart . Do you want to have your fortune read? You can come here again tomorrow to buy the scallion pancakes . "
Henry Wang was really doubtful . It didn't even look like a proper scallion pancake shop . How delicious could their scallion pancakes be if they didn't have a proper shop?
He felt like he got cheated again .
However, those people that he just met really recommended the scallion pancakes here . He was really curious and he felt that there was something he hadn't found out yet .
At the same time, he thought of something .
Never judge a book by its cover .
Just because a shop looked ordinary, he couldn't belittle it . However, he really wanted to roast the shop owners . They could've made the shop look better .
"I am not here to have my fortune read . I am here to buy scallion pancakes," Henry Wang said .
Fraud Tian was disinterested when he heard that he wasn't there to have his fortune read . "Since you're not here for fortune-telling, come back here tomorrow for scallion pancakes . "
"What time tomorrow?" Henry Wang asked .
Fraud Tian replied, "9 am tomorrow . "
To Henry Wang, he had to try it once regardless of what happened . "Alright, sorry for the inconvenience . I will be back tomorrow . "
Then, he left .
Fraud Tian shook his head, "This Caucasian is so ignorant . He might not even buy any pancakes when he comes here tomorrow . "
Lin Fan stood up, "Alright, look after the shop . I will be heading to the Children's Welfare Institute . "
Lin Fan's life was pretty routine now . He only went home, Cloud Street and the Children's Welfare Institute .
He didn't have anything else to do besides these things .
The next day!
In the morning .
Henry Wang went there early in the morning . He didn't understand the reason for the shop's rules and regulations . Why would they open at 9 am and only sell ten scallion pancakes every morning? Furthermore, would people really be there to buy them?
However, when he reached the shop, he was instantly stunned .
What the f*ck?
What was going on? Why were there so many people?
Those townsfolk that were queuing up started to look at Henry Wang in confusion .
"D*mn, Master Lin's scallion pancakes are awesome . Even a Caucasian is here to queue for them . "
"I've never seen him before . He must be new here . Who is going to tell him about the rules here?"
"I'll do it . We have to tell him about it since he is new here so that he won't do anything that he would regret . "
Although everyone was there to buy scallion pancakes, they were still the 'seniors' and they had to explain things to the first timer .
This was the experience that they had accumulated from spending their mornings there .
Initially, there were people who queued up for the scallion pancakes for a long time but didn't manage to get them . They were furious and wanted to smash Master Lin's pushcart . The townsfolk didn't want to let that repeat again . How could they let someone so arrogant misbehave in front of Master Lin?
They had to prevent it right from the start .
Of course, they couldn't have done it in a friendly way .
Hence, it was ultimately for the peace and harmony of the situation there .
Some of the experienced people grouped together and whenever there were first-timers, they would go forward to speak to the person .
Initially, they explained that they had to be patient for Master Lin's scallion pancakes . It depended on their luck . If they weren't lucky, they wouldn't be able to get it even after waiting for a month .
Hence, they had to tell them to behave themselves if that were to happen . They could choose to leave but they should never pretend like they own the place .
Especially since this first-timer was a Caucasian, they felt that they had to communicate effectively with him . If this foreign friend were to blow up right there, it would definitely be a messy affair .
Henry Wang didn't expect these people to be so welcoming . They hadn't seen him before and they actually came forward to speak to him .
After hearing what they said, Henry Wang smiled and nodded .
"Don't worry, I won't do that . Rules are rules and I will obey them . "
The townsfolk that were queueing up were relieved after hearing that .
Lin Fan stood at the pushcart and he was preparing the first scallion pancake .
Henry Wang was being trapped in the crowd and he couldn't see what was happening . Suddenly, there was an aroma in the air . It was something he had never smelled before .
It was simply unbelievable .
Then, he saw a youngster holding the first scallion pancake in his hands . He took a bite and everyone stared at him with envy .
Henry Wang was shocked by what followed after that . The normal-looking youngster suddenly looked abnormal .
His expressions looked really exaggerated .
"How could that be?" Henry Wang was in disbelief . The youngster's looked as if he just had an orgasm .
Could the scallion pancake be that delicious?
Then, he was filled with even more anticipation .
