Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 197 - 198: What Happened to Your Alcohol Tolerance?!

The employee dinner that night had nothing new, just each person getting a crispy chicken and freshly prepared celery with pickled peanuts.

The peanuts had been soaked in cold water longer this time, making them extra crunchy.

The crispy chicken was, of course, as delicious as ever.

Wang Fan's drinking capacity was average, and since he wasn't fond of alcohol, he didn't drink at all.

Shen Teng's drinking capacity wasn't great either. He poured himself a glass, but after just a small sip, his entire face crumpled up.

What was surprising was Zhuo Qianqian's drinking capacity.

This so-called booze expert, boasting about handling three pounds of liquor and effortlessly downing beer, ended up under the table after not even finishing a glass.

Wang Fan and Shen Teng were dumbfounded.

Shen Teng exclaimed, "Wow, I've never seen such a braggart before — talks as if they can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but falls flat after one glass. Truly impressive."

Wang Fan, speechless, said, "Still have the mood for snarky comments? What do we do now?"

Shen Teng shook his head vigorously, "What else can we do? Take care of her, I guess? Hope she doesn't start puking."

Wang Fan had never taken care of a drunk person before; back in college, it was usually others looking after him.

"Do you know how to take care of someone who's drunk?"

Shen Teng opened his eyes wide, "Are you kidding me? If I knew how to take care of people, would that fit my rich second-generation persona?"

Then he quickly stuffed the last piece of chicken into his mouth and grabbed the plate, shoveling all the peanuts into his mouth, chewing as he ran out of the store, "You go ahead, I'll just head back for now. I'll come back tomorrow to clock in!"

Damn!

Wang Fan was furious. This jerk ate and drank his fill and then just ditched. I don't have any experience taking care of drunk people either!

Feeling helpless, Wang Fan picked up his phone and searched for tips on taking care of drunk people and sleeping safely while intoxicated.

What he didn't realize until he searched was how startled he was by the results.

Apparently, drinking too much can lead to vomiting, which can easily block the airway, so it's essential to sleep on your side rather than on your back, or things can go very wrong.

Then there's how ethanol dilates skin blood vessels, leading to decreased body temperature, and without keeping warm, hypothermia can set in, causing serious issues.

Also, it's important to give them plenty of water to prevent alcohol from lingering in the body, which could lead to gastric bleeding, and serious complications.

In short, it's a series of potential disasters!

The more Wang Fan searched, the more anxious he became, and the more grateful he felt towards those college roommates.

Surviving four years in college, those guys surely went through a lot of trouble, saving my life. Grateful for their life-saving grace!

Looking at Zhuo Qianqian quietly sleeping on the table, Wang Fan shook his head helplessly.

Can't just leave her here, right?

"I really owe you. Who's the boss here, anyway?!"

With a grumble, Wang Fan lifted Zhuo Qianqian up.

The most annoying thing about a drunk person is they turn into a limp mess, making walking a challenge. After only a few steps, it became too difficult, so Wang Fan had no choice but to crouch down and carry her on his back.

Wang Fan had carried friends and his uncle before, but never a girl.

The difference between guys and girls became apparent once she was on his back.

Uh...

Today, the temperature was around 24 to 25 degrees, a bit hot, so Zhuo Qianqian was dressed lightly.

She appeared tall but felt surprisingly light on his back, probably no more than a hundred pounds.

With a pretty girl on his back, Wang Fan wasn't thinking of anything else; his mind was solely on those safety tips.

Terrified he'd do something wrong that would cause her harm.

The day-night temperature swings in Yunnan were significant, about 10 degrees at night. A gust of wind swept through, blowing Zhuo Qianqian's hair against Wang Fan's neck, making him shiver. Whether from the cold or something else, he couldn't say.

Feeling the chill, Zhuo Qianqian curled up more tightly, and her sudden grip nearly choked Wang Fan.

He gave her a little bounce to free his neck from those strong, slender arms.

Having such strength in her arms, she probably wouldn't suffer much from slight issues, right?

This was destined to be a sleepless night.

Wang Fan vowed that as long as Zhuo Qianqian was within his sight, he'd never let her touch a drop of alcohol again!

She's too difficult to care for!

Every time he managed to turn her onto her side, she would soon roll onto her back again.

Lying on her back wasn't good; she could vomit, and something terrible might happen!

So Wang Fan quickly turned her onto her side again.

Soon, she found the blanket too warm and kicked half of it off.

Wang Fan panicked again upon seeing this; not covering up could lead to hypothermia, which could be serious!

Thus, he kept having to turn her onto her side, and whenever she kicked the blanket off, he had to cover her again, barely getting any sleep all night.

...

"Ugh... what's that awful smell!"

Before Zhuo Qianqian opened her eyes, she was hit by a bad odor surrounding her.

She gagged a little and then opened her eyes.

And saw her boss staring at her with an expression like a resentful wife.

Oh, that level of resentment! He had to be like an ancient corpse.

Zhuo Qianqian couldn't help but think.

Wang Fan, gritting his teeth, asked, "Didn't you say you could start with three pounds of liquor? Didn't you claim you could drink beer effortlessly? Huh? You didn't even finish one glass before you knocked yourself out!"

Zhuo Qianqian awkwardly shrank her neck and said, "Uh... I didn't want to embarrass our Great Border Province, so I exaggerated a bit..."

"You call that a little exaggeration? If you dare drink in front of me again, I'll break your legs! I didn't sleep a wink all night looking after you so you wouldn't have any mishaps!"

Seeing Zhuo Qianqian awake, Wang Fan finally relaxed and, closing his eyes, plopped onto the bed. Whoever wants to take work, take it, I'm not going in — that's the boss's prerogative!

Zhuo Qianqian was just about to speak when the awful smell hit her again.

"Ugh... the stench!"

She sniffed carefully and realized it was coming from herself.

"Ugh..."

She retched again, grabbed her change of clothes hastily, and dashed to the bathroom. Only after doing a good cleanup did she feel refreshed.

Returning to the bedroom, she saw that her boss seemed already asleep.

"Boss, boss..."

"Hang a sign at the shop saying it's closed for adjustment until noon, reopening at 5 p.m.! Don't wake me again, I need to catch up on sleep."

Wang Fan mumbled sleepily, then closed his eyes and slept deeply. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This night was more exhausting than running a fully automated kitchen!

Zhuo Qianqian stuck out her tongue without saying another word, left the RV to carry out her boss's orders.

After finishing the task, she didn't know what else to do, so she simply returned to the RV.

Honestly, even though she seemed to have slept all night, her whole body felt uncomfortable, like it might fall apart at any moment.

Seeing the boss sleeping peacefully, she couldn't resist, her eyes closed, and she dozed off again.

Shen Teng stood in front of the store, marveling at the sign's content, "Boss Wang has impressive stamina, I'm impressed!""
