Chapter 148: Chapter 146: Cross-Province Manhunt!

[Analyzed the best recipe for you: Lamb Soup Noodles.]

This method of targeting ingredients finally resulted in an outcome that was hardly debatable. Chen Mo got his wish and received the recipe for making lamb soup noodles.

[Lamb Soup Noodles consists of making lamb soup and hui noodles.]

[The making of lamb soup is crucial, requiring fresh lamb bones and meat. The use of sheep oil depends on the situation; it adds a creamy white color to the soup but may introduce a slight gamey taste.]

Chen Mo read the recipe from start to finish, took a deep breath, poured a glass of water, and grabbed some ice cubes from the cupboard.

“Making lamb soup is really a skilled task. If a restaurant outside really makes lamb soup noodles like this, a bowl for fifteen yuan is unbelievably cheap.”

Before Chen Mo started his business, he had no concept of making money, but since opening the food truck, he realized one truth.

The real cost for a restaurant isn’t in the ingredients at all.

The major costs are primarily rent, utilities, then labor, and finally ingredients!

But… small restaurant owners usually can’t cut costs in rent, utilities, and labor, so they squeeze costs from the ingredients, and in doing so, they squeeze themselves out of business.

So after reading the recipe, Chen Mo knew that any restaurant that dares to make soup this way, using those big bowls for noodles in Yu Province, where they can slice two pieces of meat, thirty yuan a bowl is not expensive at all.

No more thinking, the first step in making lamb soup is soaking!

Chen Mo dumped all the bones into a big basin, added enough water to cover the ingredients, and then.

Then there was nothing else to do.

“It’s 10 o’clock now, and with the storage cabinet’s automatic temperature adjustment function, it needs to soak for at least about six hours.”

Chen Mo placed the bones soaked in water into the storage cabinet.

As long as the door was closed, the cabinet would automatically adjust to the specific temperature according to the type of items inside.

“Xiao Juzi?”

Chen Mo walked out of the food truck and called softly. In no time, he felt something small climbing up his pant leg in the darkness.

When he went to soak the bones, Chen Mo threw Xiao Juzi outside to let it get some air. With a call, the little thing ran over on its own, very obedient.

Bringing Xiao Juzi back to the cockpit, he set the alarm for four in the morning, turned over, and slept peacefully.

…

“Family, can anyone help analyze the direction of Boss Xiao Chen based on this footage?”

In the early hours of the morning, at midnight.

Dunzi and Lulu successfully arrived in Kaifeng. Not only weren’t they sleepy, but they also felt a bit excited.

This feeling of acting impulsively and the thrill of a night chase is truly exhilarating!

What excited the two the most was as their pursuit of Boss Xiao Chen progressed, the number of viewers in the livestream increased.

After leaving Jin Province and entering Yu Province, some local viewers in Yu Province started to join the stream.

Upon arriving in Kaifeng, the stream already had over 1000 viewers. This was another peak in Lulu’s streaming career following Huimin Hospital!

At this moment, Lulu and Dunzi had just stepped out of a convenience store.

Brother Dun bought two packs of Huazi, gave one to the store clerk, and successfully obtained the surveillance footage from the entrance of the convenience store.

“The time is… 9:10! At 9:10, Boss Xiao Chen’s food truck passed by this convenience store, heading south!”

There are no strangers in the livestream room.

A local fan from Kaifeng quickly made an analysis.

“There are only two possibilities, either he went south to Chenliu, which has places all men love to go, or he went south to the outskirts, perhaps to a market fair. Other than that, there’s almost nothing south of Kaifeng at this hour.”

“The way this buddy talks, you’d think it’s true. What do you do that you’re bragging? You can’t be a detective, right?”

“I’m a freaking taxi driver!”

Probably no one understands the city better than a taxi driver. Dunzi and Lulu exchanged a glance and decided to just head south!

“Boss Xiao Chen doesn’t seem like the type to like those places. I think we should go directly to the market fair,” Lulu said.

Dunzi was somewhat disdainful, “Why? Boss Xiao Chen is also a man! I say, let’s check out that place first and then…”

Feeling the murderous look in Lulu’s eyes, Dunzi swallowed the words back into his stomach.

He thought to himself, I just wanted to see if the girls from Yu Province have strong hands, what’s wrong with getting a foot massage?

As the Cadillac drove south, it was already past one in the morning.

Dunzi’s self-proclaimed driving skills gradually faded, he angrily pounded the steering wheel, “What the heck? Why are there so many people not sleeping in the middle of the night?”

Lulu pointed the camera at the street outside, “What’s going on, why so many university students?”

Being a university student herself, Lulu knows this group well.

They are a group of people who can be crazy at a moment’s notice. University students’ mental circuits are different from the rest. They might suddenly wake from a nap and head to an internet café.

Or they might suddenly feel like they’re worthless and begin to better themselves.

Lulu rolled down the car window, “Slow down a bit.”

“I wish I could go faster!”

Lulu shouted out the window, “What are you guys doing?”

A long-legged girl with a backpack riding a Xiao Huang bike replied, “I don’t know!”

Lulu: ???

“You don’t know?”

“I don’t know! Everyone else is doing it so I just followed along. We came from Zhengzhou, gotta catch an early train back for class!” The girl pedaled hard, “I’ll be off then!”

Lulu turned her bewildered head and faced Dunzi’s equally bewildered expression.

No way…

In the middle of the night, ride a Xiao Huang bike from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng, then rush to the train to return to Zhengzhou and catch an 8 a.m. class?

What kind of behavior is this?

Old Zhao from Jingzhou watched the unusual scenario in the livestream and felt a surge of youthful energy, “Honey, let’s be young again!”

“Your wound’s healed? Can you do it tonight?”

Old Zhao shook his leg, “I mean, how about we bike to Yu Province, what do you think?”

Guo Aiping put the sexy lingerie she just picked up back, opened the door, “Go ahead, I can’t be young again.”

Old Zhao’s youthful mindset instantly aged again, grumbling as he turned over to continue watching the stream.

Soon, the livestream camera gradually moved out of the city onto country roads. Guided by the taxi driver fan, the car first arrived at a village, which seemed to be having a market fair, but it was empty at this time.

Then onto another village.

Circling one after the other.

When Dunzi, tired and yawning, thought of parking to find a place to sleep, they saw a massive rock by the roadside.

Three words were painted on it with red paint.
