"We'll close the shop early tonight, and then I'll make you a big feast," Yuan Tiantian said in a low voice as she walked past Bai Ying after seeing the call from the seafood vendor who had supplied them on the opening day. She took her phone and stepped aside.
A big feast?
Hearing those words, Bai Ying instantly grinned from ear to ear. There would be a big feast tonight!
Just thinking about the so - called big feast Yuan Tiantian mentioned, his saliva was almost uncontrollable.
"Watch yourself," Sheng Jing couldn't stand seeing Bai Ying's silly look. It was kind of an eyesore.
"Hehe, the little boss is going to make me a big feast!" Bai Ying didn't care what Sheng Jing said. He was just showing off.
Originally, Sheng Jing didn't think much of it. But after Bai Ying's emphasis, he somehow felt annoyed. Looking at Bai Ying's stupid grin, he unconsciously pursed his lips. Then he looked at Yuan Tiantian, not even noticing how "mournful" his eyes were.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Tiantian was a bit confused when she turned around after the phone call and saw Sheng Jing's somewhat mournful look.
What on earth was going on?
"Nothing," Sheng Jing quickly regained his composure before Yuan Tiantian could ask further. Yuan Tiantian blinked innocently. Were men's hearts really as hard to fathom as the deep sea?
Just like yesterday, Xiao Zhen was in charge of making breakfast today. He made scallion oil noodles as Yuan Tiantian had taught him.
The fragrant smell of scallions accompanied the thin, oily, and chewy noodles. It was really delicious when eaten mouthful by mouthful.
"Delicious!" Bai Jingyang gave Xiao Zhen a thumbs - up. The taste of his cooking was really amazing. It was almost as good as the little boss's. It was just delicious.
"Little boss, where did you find this guy? I even want to hire a chef like him for my parents. His cooking skills are top - notch!" Yuan Tiantian burst into laughter and then said to Bai Jingyang.
"You probably won't be able to find another one. He's one - of - a - kind."
That was right. He was from the system. Where could you find someone like him outside?
Not long after Bai Jingyang left, the rattling sound of a small three - wheeled vehicle came from outside.
The goods were here!
Yuan Tiantian went out and sure enough saw the seafood vendor driving a small three - wheeled truck towards the shop.
The vendor had called earlier, saying that he had caught a lot of good stuff today and asked if Yuan Tiantian wanted them. After hearing about the seafood, Yuan Tiantian decided to take them all.
"Little boss, I've brought all the goods!" Yuan Tiantian inspected the seafood. It was as fresh as last time.
"Good. I'll take them all." Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, the seafood vendor immediately beamed with joy and couldn't help but praise his own seafood.
"Of course. They just came out of the sea. How could they not be fresh!"
"My seafood is definitely among the freshest in this area!" Yuan Tiantian just smiled. She had only done business with him twice, and today was the second time. It was still too early to draw conclusions, but so far, the seafood was really fresh.
Yuan Tiantian asked Sheng Jing and Bai Ying to load all the goods, while she settled the payment with the vendor.
When the vendor left, he was all smiles.
Yuan Tiantian paid a price slightly higher than the market price, just like last time. She was a trustworthy person.
That was why he had called Yuan Tiantian first today.
A fool wouldn't make money!
"Little boss, will there be seafood on the menu today?" Bai Ying couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he watched the lively seafood while tidying up. He really liked this kind of food. Of course, his favorite was the flower crab from their orc world, but he hadn't eaten much of it recently.
Hearing Bai Ying's question, Yuan Tiantian smiled.
"No, these are not for today's menu. They're for our dinner tonight." Yuan Tiantian was going to make seafood sashimi tonight!
Of course, besides the seafood bought today, there would also be Bai Ying's favorite flower crabs.
It seemed that there had never been raw food in the shop. In fact, making sashimi was one of Yuan Tiantian's specialties. Her slicing skills were top - notch.
"Sashimi?" Bai Ying and Sheng Jing didn't understand. After Yuan Tiantian's explanation, they got it.
It was raw food!
Bai Ying was happy. He also liked raw food. In the orc continent, he often ate raw food, but the most delicious was the flower crab meat, which was smooth and tender. The others were just so - so. Sheng Jing frowned. He couldn't imagine how delicious raw food could be. Fortunately, he usually ate very little.
In the evening, the customers left one by one. Yuan Tiantian had told everyone to eat less in the afternoon, waiting for the big feast at night.
Finally, after 8:30, when this group of customers left, Yuan Tiantian directly closed the shop.
Jiang Shen was a bit confused.
"Little boss, why are you closing the shop so early?" He followed Sheng Jing to the ordinary restaurant. As soon as he entered, he saw the crystal - clear sashimi platter on the table, and his saliva started to flow uncontrollably.
Was the little boss closing the shop early just to have a special meal for themselves?
Everyone was very familiar with each other. Jiang Shen took out his phone, took a photo, and before Bai Ying could stop him, he sent it to the WeChat group of the villagers.
"Ah, why did you inform them?!" Bai Ying immediately looked dejected. He had even prepared to share with Jiang Shen, but now the latter had called more people. He felt heart - broken.
When Yuan Tiantian came out with a new large plate of sashimi, she heard Bai Ying's complaint and burst into laughter.
"It's okay. There's plenty!" All the seafood today was theirs!
Not long after, voices came from outside Tiantian's Delicious Food Shop.
"Little boss, you can't eat all by yourselves!" Yuan Tiantian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. Bai Ying rolled his eyes at the people outside and looked at Yuan Tiantian mournfully, as if to say, "You said this was a big feast just for me! Why are so many people here?"
"Don't worry. I've saved a lot of flower crabs for you! You can take them up as a midnight snack tonight!" Yuan Tiantian whispered to Bai Ying, winking at him.
Sure enough, Bai Ying was no longer dissatisfied. A happy smile appeared on his face.
Yuan Tiantian heaved a sigh of relief. This big kid was really hard to coax!
Sheng Jing stood aside and noticed the little interaction between Yuan Tiantian and Bai Ying. The inexplicable annoyance in his heart came up again. But just like before, he managed to control it well. However, deep down, he was a bit irritated. He was very dissatisfied with this out - of - control emotion.
"Little boss, your slicing skills are amazing!" Yun Feng had eaten a lot of sashimi, but he had never seen anyone with slicing skills as good as Yuan Tiantian's. The slices were as thin as cicada wings.
Dipped in mustard or light soy sauce, the taste was superb. The smoothness of the sashimi combined with a little bit of seasoning brought out the freshness of the sashimi to the extreme!
"It's so delicious!" Especially the flower crab meat. Without any excessive processing, it was incredibly Q - elastic and delicious.
The seafood sashimi tonight brought out the ultimate flavor of the raw materials.
In everyone's hearts, it was simply a masterpiece.
The night was still long, and there would always be good - byes. But for this moment, it was here.
