Around noon, a few more people came. They were all long - haul truck drivers attracted by the delicious aroma from Sweetie's Food Store. But after looking at the menu, they were shocked by the prices. In the end, each of them only ordered a serving of fried rice with lard and eggs. Fortunately, the portion was generous and the taste was great, so they all ate happily.
After seeing them off, there were no more customers for a while. The two previous tables were almost done with their meals, and Yuan Tiantian started to prepare the staff meal for themselves.
Just then, an unexpected incident happened.
"Ouch, ouch..."
One of the old men at their table suddenly clutched his stomach and groaned. Bai Ying and Sheng Jing saw this and called Yuan Tiantian out of the kitchen. The three of them quickly walked over to the old men. The old man was still clutching his stomach and moaning, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"Could it be that the food is not clean?"
One of the old men looked at the dishes and said. But he was glared at by the geological - detection expert from yesterday.
"If you can't talk properly, don't just blabber! The food in this store is clean!"
As a gourmet, he could tell whether the food was clean or not. There was nothing wrong with the food in the store, but his old friend's uncomfortable state was not faked. Yuan Tiantian and the others heard this question. Bai Ying wanted to say something, but Yuan Tiantian stopped him. Then she stepped forward and asked.
"Grandpa, are you okay? Do you want me to call an ambulance?"
Yuan Tiantian didn't want any trouble in her store, so sending him to the hospital might be the best solution. Looking at the remaining food on the table, she decided not to dispose of it for the time being. If there was really a dispute, it could be sent for testing. If it was really a problem with her store, she wouldn't evade responsibility, but Yuan Tiantian had a hunch that it wasn't.
The old man clutching his stomach quickly waved his hand when he heard Yuan Tiantian was going to call 120. He said weakly,
"No need. I just ate too much. My stomach hurts."
Not only was Yuan Tiantian speechless after hearing this, but the other old men at the table were also extremely embarrassed, especially the one who had just said the food in the store was unclean. His face instantly turned red. The geological - detection expert from yesterday criticized him.
"You know your stomach is weak. Why don't you eat in moderation?!"
"I won't dare to invite you out next time!"
The old man clutching his stomach sighed but said reluctantly, "The food here is really delicious. I just couldn't resist!"
"I'll just rest for a while. I'll be fine after enduring it."
Well, it seemed that the problem still lay with her store - the food was too delicious. Yuan Tiantian couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and helplessness. Looking at the old man's uncomfortable state, she thought about taking out a Shu Yang to solve his problem. But before she could say anything to them, the middle - aged man at the next table who had suffered from stomach bloating last night immediately "interfered" and said,
"Stomach bloating? The young boss has a solution. That waxberry of hers. Eating one will immediately solve the problem!"
"Really. I got better like this last night!"
After the middle - aged man said excitedly, Yuan Tiantian nodded with a smile. But she still said to them, "I can't guarantee it will work for him. How about giving it a try?"
Seeing the old man's uncomfortable state, the other old men finally decided to give it a try. Yuan Tiantian took out a Shu Yang and handed it to him. After the old man ate it, he looked at Yuan Tiantian in shock. The discomfort from stomach bloating really improved a lot. The effect was really fast.
After a few minutes, there were no adverse reactions.
The middle - aged man looked at his wife proudly. She hadn't believed him just now, but now she was also shocked.
"Boss, do you sell this thing?!"
After the old man with stomach bloating fully recovered, he quickly asked Yuan Tiantian if the big waxberries were for sale. He knew that for his stomach - bloating problem, even taking medicine would take a long time to relieve the discomfort, and everyone knew that "medicine is three - tenths poison." But this waxberry could solve the problem of stomach bloating so well. It was really amazing!
"She doesn't sell them. I asked the young boss last night!"
The middle - aged man interrupted again. Yuan Tiantian was both amused and helpless. Then she said to him, "You're almost like my spokesperson!"
His wife glared at him and then said to Yuan Tiantian apologetically, "He's just a fool. Don't mind him, boss."
Yuan Tiantian shook her head with a smile. But she still seriously explained to them, "It's called Shu Yang, not a waxberry. I got them by chance. I won't sell them for now."
The reason Yuan Tiantian said she wouldn't sell them for now was mainly because she thought that in the future, the seeds of Shu Yang might appear in the system's popularity - value mall. After all, the lemon seeds had already appeared. She had a feeling that the Shu Yang seeds would also appear. Or rather, Yuan Tiantian thought that all the things that had appeared in the system would eventually appear in various system malls later. It was just a matter of time. Once she had the seeds and planted them on the contracted back - mountain, selling them wouldn't be a problem.
After hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, they all felt a bit regretful. Not only the old man with stomach bloating but also the others wanted to buy some to keep. They were not only attracted by its magical curative effect but also by the sour, sweet, and fragrant smell of the Shu Yang they had just smelled, as well as its juicy taste.
Especially the geological - detection expert from yesterday, a gourmet. He was itching to try the delicious food but couldn't.
When they were leaving, he deliberately lagged behind the others for a few steps. Then he turned to Yuan Tiantian with an embarrassed look on his face. "Could you give me one Shu Yang to try?"
"I'll write a food review for your store after I get back!"
Seeing his pleading look, Yuan Tiantian burst out laughing. Then she asked Bai Ying to take out five Shu Yangs. After packaging them, Yuan Tiantian handed them to him.
"I'll be waiting to read your food review!"
Yuan Tiantian agreed. She really didn't want to sell them for money. She didn't have many of them, and she wasn't short of money. But if it was a review from this gourmet, she could consider it. His name was Liu Qingyuan. Yuan Tiantian had done some research on the local website last night. He was quite authoritative in food reviews. If he wrote a special review for her food store, it should attract a lot of customers. Then the popularity would come!
"Don't worry. I'll definitely write it seriously!"
Actually, even without the five Shu Yangs, Liu Qingyuan was going to write a review. After eating at the store twice, he was sure that the food here was worthy of his promotion. The young boss's cooking skills were really top - notch.
After the customers left, Yuan Tiantian and the others started to have lunch. Of course, Bai Ying still had a huge appetite. Well, in a way, it was a good thing. At least there would be no leftover food in the store, whether there were many customers or few. They had a "clean - plate campaign" every day!
"Sheng Jing, come out with me this afternoon?"
