Chapter 690: True Talk System for the Entertainment Industry (6)

Rice, eggs, baby bok choy... they looked no different from many other fried rice stalls, but once they hit the wok and were seared, a mouth-watering aroma wafted out.

Especially after adding a spoonful of the secret spicy sauce she had brewed herself, the customers standing nearby were so tempted by the fragrance that they began to salivate.

The uncle working as an extra waiting in line was no exception; looking at the fried rice in the wok with every grain distinct, coated in bits of golden egg, with the spicy sauce evenly clinging to the emerald green bok choy and crisp bean sprouts, his mouth kept watering.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It smells so good!"

It really smelled too good!

With such a fragrant smell, could the taste be any worse?

The other extras who had been watching from the sidelines no longer hesitated:

"Boss, I'll have an order of Golden Egg Fried Rice too!"

"Boss, your stir-fried rice noodles look like authentic thin rice noodles, I'll buy a portion to try! It's 15 yuan, right? Alright! I'll scan the code myself!"

"Boss, give me an order of stir-fried noodles!"

The "payment received" notifications rang out, one after another, sounding delightful.

Xie Yang responded to them one by one; the first portion of fried rice was finished, packed into a disposable container, and handed to the customer, then she immediately scrubbed the wok clean to stir-fry the next portion.

The extra uncle couldn't wait to go back to eat after getting his fried rice, so he simply held the container and ate while walking, drawing inquiries from several people along the way:

"Brother, which stall did you buy this fried rice from?"

He had no time to talk, chewing the egg fried rice with satisfaction while pointing at Xie Yang's stall.

When Zhao Qin and the other two found Xu Yin's stall, quite a few people were already crowded in front of the small stand.

In fact, they had curiously strolled through the Snack Street yesterday evening, but after searching a whole circle without seeing Xie Yang's stall, they couldn't help but @ her in their roommate group chat to ask where she was setting up, only to learn that she had been busy shopping all day yesterday and hadn't come, only opening the stall today.

"Beautiful boss, I want one order of fried rice with no spice, one order of stir-fried noodles with mild spice, that's 30 yuan total, I've paid!"

"Boss, I want an order of Golden Egg Fried Rice, make it extra spicy! Scan the code, right? Paid!"

"Beautiful boss, one order of stir-fried noodles, extra spicy!"

"Beautiful boss, how many more people are ahead of me? I'm in a rush, can you hurry up?"

The sounds of ordering, the "payment received" notifications, and the urging of customers rose and fell one after another.

From time to time, there were customers holding the freshly cooked Golden Egg Fried Rice or stir-fried noodles, standing in front of the stall and devouring them, giving Xie Yang a thumbs-up while eating and praising her endlessly: "Boss, this stir-fried noodle is definitely the best I've ever had!"

The three roommates looked at each other: What is wrong with these people? Could they be shills hired by Xie Yang? With so many shills, how much money must that cost?

Originally thinking they would see a desolate scene, the three of them had not only done mental preparation along the way but had also sat on a public bench on the main street to discuss it for quite a while.

They finally decided: besides each of them ordering the most expensive item to support Xie Yang, they would also buy a few extra portions for their roommates in the next room, trying their best to support Xie Yang.

If it tasted good when they packed it back, they would help Xie Yang promote it; if it didn't taste good, they just wouldn't say it was bought at Xie Yang's stall, so as not to hurt her self-esteem.

Anyway, there were so many snack stalls on the Walking Street, no one could guarantee they wouldn't step on a landmine, right?

They didn't expect business to be this good...

If these people really weren't shills hired by Xie Yang, then this business was in no way inferior to the main street!

Zhao Qin and the other two whispered to each other while honestly lining up.

By the time it was their turn, it was almost twelve o'clock.

"What do you need? Fried rice? Stir-fried noodles? Or stir-fried noodles?"

Xie Yang scrubbed the wok clean and waited for the next customer to order.

The previous customers had all been unable to wait to order and pay before it was their turn, so why was this person not saying a word now that it was their turn?

She curiously looked up, and upon seeing them, she was delighted: "It's you guys! When did you arrive? You've been waiting a long time, right? What do you want to eat? But I'm only making stir-fried food right now, you guys see if there's anything you want."

Zhao Qin winked at her: "Opening for the first day, business is quite good!"

Xie Yang smiled and nodded: "It's indeed not bad."

Zhao Qin glanced at the small blackboard; all three types of stir-fried food were 15 yuan per portion, which was perfect for the three of them to have one each, plus three more to pack for the next room.

"Six portions in total, 90, right?" Zhao Qin was afraid Xie Yang would stop them from paying, so after calculating the amount, she rushed to scan the code.

Xie Yang smiled and thanked them, not standing on ceremony with them.

Anyway, once they tasted her craft, they would know: 15 yuan for a portion of stir-fried food was absolutely worth more than the price!

Having been standing behind and whispering to each other, they hadn't felt it, but now, standing right next to the wok and watching Xie Yang skillfully stir-fry the Golden Egg Fried Rice at close range, smelling the rich fragrance triggered by the eggs and spicy sauce in the air, they were so tempted that they couldn't swallow their saliva in time, and their stomachs began to rumble.

"So fragrant! Can you hurry up! I'm starving to death!"

The middle-aged woman behind the three of them sniffed, stretched her neck forward, and urged.

Before Xie Yang could speak, the middle-aged woman let out an "eh," stared at Xie Yang's face and examined her carefully for a few moments, then tentatively asked after a while: "You are Xiao Xie, right? Xie Yang?"

Xie Yang took a moment to look up at her and nodded.

The other party slapped her thigh: "Oh my! I was wondering why you looked so familiar, so it really is you, Xiao Xie! Why did you come here to set up a stall! Not acting anymore? Your appearance is so good, and you're a professional in this field, it's such a pity to give it up..."

Xie Yang flipped through the memories left by the original owner; oh, it was Liu Jie, the production assistant from the *Qing Meng Qi Yuan* crew!

The original owner had just played two bit parts in this crew not long ago, and it was this lady who handed her the boxed lunch at noon.

But why would a production assistant responsible for ordering and distributing meals come to the Snack Street to buy fried rice?

Xie Yang was puzzled, but she didn't ask; perhaps the person had some reason that wasn't convenient to share.

Hearing Liu Jie say this, the others couldn't help but look at Xie Yang a few more times.

They had thought she was pretty before, and had even asked when such a beautiful stall owner had come to the Snack Street? Now that they heard this, she was a student of performance, so wasn't she a future actor? That was no wonder! There were no ugly people among those who studied performance.

But it was rare to see someone who was both beautiful and had such good cooking skills!

Hearing the discussions around her, Liu Jie couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This is "clearly capable of relying on her looks, but insists on relying on her skills."

Thinking this, she couldn't help but say: "Did you come to the Snack Street to set up a stall and earn extra money because you haven't received any work lately? Come to our crew! The actress for the fourth female lead quit temporarily a few days ago, and Director Fu is furious about it. To catch up on the schedule, he'll likely look for a temporary actor here. You go find Director Fu and ask, maybe it'll work out! Anyway, I'm rooting for you!"

Zhao Qin and the other two were even more excited than Xie Yang, their eyes urging her to agree quickly!

Although finding the director didn't guarantee success, it was at least an opportunity, and refusing would be foolish!

Xie Yang, however, shook her head: "I don't have time lately! I suddenly discovered that I have quite a talent for cooking, so I came out to practice at the stall and earn some living expenses by the way. Look, I've prepared all my equipment, I have to use it for a few days, otherwise it would be such a waste."
