Food Wars: Taste Buds Reversal

022. The materials are gone [fourth update]

Since the morning, the street where the Big Mac burger is located has been extremely lively. The black smoke floating everywhere on the street has become a beautiful landscape on this street. Every passenger who gets off the car can't help but ask the people around him,"Where does this fragrance come from?"

An old lady holding a plastic bag of ten well-packaged burgers in her hand heard the questions of these passers-by and couldn't help but breathe in the fragrance in the air again.

A smile of enjoyment appeared on her face, and she exclaimed,"You don't know yet, a new burger shop has started business today, and these aromas are coming from there.

I started at 11 o'clock in the morning and waited in line for an hour to buy these burgers.

I have to take them home quickly to taste them with my grandson.

"

"A newly opened hamburger shop?"

The two female college students who just got off the bus looked at each other, and their stomachs couldn't help but growl, making each other feel a little embarrassed.

"Grandma, where is that hamburger shop?

The two female college students couldn't resist the aroma and started asking the old lady about the location of the hamburger shop.

"Look, it's at the corner ahead, just go in and turn right."The old lady quickly pointed the way for them, and the two female college students quickly said goodbye to the old lady and ran forward quickly.

"Xia Mei, hurry up, I can't wait to taste this tempting burger."

The girl running in front kept urging the girl behind.

"I get it, Lingzi, the hamburger shop won't run away, we will definitely be able to buy it."

The two of them quickly ran around the corner, wanting to find where the hamburger shop was, but the moment they turned around, their eyes widened!

What caught their eyes was a crowd that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The line was lined up in five S-shaped rows, almost blocking the entire sidewalk.

There was no idea how many people were standing in front.

These people were all talking to their companions in the line with expectation on their faces.

Occasionally, people holding hamburgers in their hands came out, looking as if they were tasting some unique delicacy.

The people around them were all envious.

"How many people are there here?"

Lingzi, with her twin ponytails standing up, said blankly to Xia Mei behind her.

"Big...about a thousand people?"

Xia Mei said uncertainly

"I was getting more and more excited. What kind of burger could attract people on this street to line up so long just to have a taste? I was determined to buy one today!"

"Hey? Lingzi, are you really going to queue up?"

Seeing Lingzi standing at the end of the line, Xia Mei, who was standing by, tried to stop her with a panicked look on her face.

"No, Reiko, we have an appointment to go to Mr. Ikeda's house today, please wake up!"

"You should be more sober, Xia Mei. Such delicious food is right in front of me, but you want me to turn around and leave? How can I do this?"

The two girls started arguing at the back of the line, and while they were arguing, dozens of people had already lined up behind them. Seeing the line getting longer and longer, Xia Mei was powerless to stop Lingzi, because she herself could no longer bear it and wanted to eat the hamburger immediately.

……

13:00 p.m.

Baimu, who was extremely busy, finally finished the last burger. All the ingredients in the store were exhausted at this moment.

He glanced at the line outside the store. It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. Baimu was shocked when he looked up. He didn't know when a line had formed in front of his store. The diners behind him were waiting for their turns with their money in their hands. They didn't react when they saw that the ingredients in front of Baimu were gone. They thought he would go to the store to get new ones.

Facing the hungry and thirsty expressions of this group of people like zombies, Baimu got a cold sweat on his head.

He suddenly felt that if he told them at this time that the ingredients for the burgers were used up, these people would tear him apart immediately.

However, the ingredients were indeed used up.

Baimu gritted his teeth and said to the customer in front,"I'm sorry, all the ingredients prepared for today have been used up.

Our store has decided to close now.

Customers who didn't buy burgers, please come back tomorrow.

"

""Huh?"

The middle-aged man in front of Bai Mu obviously hadn't reacted yet, and the people behind him also looked at him blankly. The crowd was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly a commotion broke out without any warning.

"What? We ran out of materials?"

"Want to proof?"

"What's going on?!"

Bai Mu covered his ears helplessly. After a short silence, someone shouted, attracting everyone's attention. Then the news of 'running out of materials and closing soon' spread among the crowd. The speed of transmission was surprisingly rhythmic. First, the customers in the front were in disbelief, and then the people behind gradually noticed the commotion in front and rushed to ask what happened. Then they were told that the store owner was closing.

"Why is this happening? It's only 1pm now, are we closing now?"

"How can this be possible?!"

"I’ve been queuing for two hours, and I’m almost there… Damn it!"

Two minutes later, the entire shopping street was in a state of chaos. Bai Mu felt like he had poked a hornet’s nest, and his eardrums were about to be shattered by these people.
