Qing Niao, untouched by human food, had truly grown up drinking dew, possessing a very primitive concept of eating. The crispy chicken leg rice meal was imbued with a unique spirit, and its meticulous preparation made it an unparalleled delicacy that Qing Niao has never tasted before.

“What do you think?” Luo Huai’an asked, looking forward to his praise.

Qing Niao did not disappoint her and sincerely said, “It’s so delicious, the best thing I’ve ever eaten.”

Hearing his praise, Luo Huai’an was pleased and said, “Then the delivery of the big, crispy chicken leg rice meal is entrusted to you.”

“I understand. I will definitely deliver the chicken leg rice meal smoothly.” A strong sense of anticipation and responsibility welled up in Qing Niao’s heart. If he could share such delicious food with others, they would surely be very satisfied.

After happily finishing his meal, Qing Niao began preparing for the delivery.

Due to safety concerns, the school allowed food delivery services onto campus, but it only allowed delivery drivers to use bicycles not electric scooters. Electric scooters were too fast and could easily cause serious injury with so many students walking around. Delivery drivers from outside the school who attempt to use electric scooters were stopped by security guards.

Although the cafeteria didn’t seem to count as off-campus delivery and shouldn’t be required to follow this rule, and Qing Niao was an experienced driver who wouldn’t hurt anyone with an electric scooter, Luo Huai’an was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so she chose to abide by the campus rules.

Luo Huai’an reluctantly spent a large sum of money to buy a mountain bike.

The mountain bike was entirely blue-green, with a pure and flawless color.

Qing Niao was overjoyed, his blue-green bangs swaying, “Its color is the same as mine! It’s beautiful, I like it! Thank you, boss.”

Luo Huai’an thought to herself, ‘Of course it’s beautiful, it cost a lot of money!’

She smiled and said, “I’m glad you like it.”

Qing Niao happily reached out and stroked the mountain bike’s seat. After a while, he suddenly said with a hint of confusion, “Actually, I could fly to deliver the goods; that would be faster.”

“No,” Luo Huai’an shook her head. “If you deliver the goods like this, the students will notice something is wrong.”

Qing Niao had been awake for over a year and had gained some understanding of modern affairs. After being persuaded by Luo Huai’an, he nodded sensibly, “I understand.”

Luo Huai’an instructed Qing Niao to open the Mountain and Seas Little Cafeteria app and log in to his delivery driver account so he could view all the orders and addresses.

Luo Huai’an picked up her phone, logged into her administrator account, uploaded a photo and detailed information of the Cantonese-style, Big, Crispy Chicken Leg Rice Meal to the interface, and then set the inventory to one hundred servings.

After posting the menu information, she opened the Eighth Cafeteria’s social media account and sent the purchase link: [Everyone, Eighth Cafeteria delivery meal is now available for purchase. Limited to 100 orders only, so hurry!]

The students in the online community were almost all loyal customers of the Eighth Cafeteria. After the message was sent out, students scattered throughout the campus excitedly opened their phones and accessed the app.

The first thing one saw was a real photo of a Cantonese-style, crispy, chicken leg with rice.

The big, crispy chicken leg, as the name suggested, was ‘big’, taking up almost half of the food box. It was roasted to an exceptionally crispy exterior and tender interior, with a vibrant reddish skin that gleamed with a bright sheen.

Just by looking at it, you could imagine the rich and delicious taste of the chicken leg.

The social media chat exploded: 

[Waaaaah, I was in class when I saw this giant chicken leg and I couldn’t help but drool. My seatmate thought I was seriously ill.]

[The aroma is practically wafting off the screen, wow! Before I knew it, I’d already placed an order.]

[Damn it, the boss used to poison us after class every night, but now she’s even worse, she doesn’t spare us at lunchtime.]

[Ahhh, how many years have you been single to develop such fast typing skills? I just clicked and it was already sold out.]

Thanks to the stunning promotional photo, one hundred servings of the big, crispy chicken leg rice meal sold out instantly, and the social media chat was filled with cries of despair. 

Luo Huai’an could only appease them. [We’ve run out of chicken legs for today, so there’s really no more big, crispy chicken leg rice meals to sell. I’ll restock after I buy some yellow-feathered chickens at the market tomorrow.]

Seeing this, the students had no choice but to agree.

Luo Huai’an and the others prepared ten servings of the big, crispy chicken leg rice meals and placed them in the delivery box mounted on the back of the Qing Niao’s mountain bike.

Luo Huai’an looked somewhat melancholy and wistful, “It seems like you can’t deliver too many portions at once, maybe only about ten at a time.”

Qing Niao gave a bright smile. “I ride my bike very fast. It won’t take long to deliver a package.”

After Qing Niao finished speaking, he pushed his mountain bike and left the Eighth Cafeteria. In less than ten minutes, he was actually back.

Luo Huai’an calculated that it only took him one minute to deliver each meal on average, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, “That’s fast! Did you use your powers to speed things up?”

“Yes, I rode my bike with the wind,” said Qing Niao. “This is my first time delivering food, so it took me a little longer to find the addresses; otherwise, it could have been faster.”

Luo Huai’an couldn’t help but marvel at Qing Niao’s speed. It seemed that having him deliver food was the right decision; even ordinary deliverymen on electric bikes couldn’t deliver as fast as Qing Niao.

After receiving Luo Huai’an’s affirmation, Qing Niao was very happy and excitedly took the other big, crispy chicken leg rice meal boxes with him and went out.

T/N: ‘Cantonese-style, big, crispy chicken leg rice meal’ is such a mouthful 😂

Funny enough, when I googled it, the one that kept popping up was a Hongkong-style KFC rice meal (HK is part of Cantonese region).
