At the order, Xiaohu couldn't wait to stuff the meat into his mouth. Soon, his little mouth was stuffed full.
Li Feilong chose the "super spicy" one. However, his expression was far from as enjoyable as Xiaohu's.
"Damn it, what's this?"
"Hahaha, this is the so - called'super spicy'!"
Ye Zhinan quickly handed over a glass of water. It was the iced plum juice she had prepared in advance.
After Li Feilong drank it, the expression on his face gradually returned to normal.
"If you're going to sell that super - spicy stuff, you must serve it with this."
He held up the plum juice and gulped it down. Lu Yanlai held back her laughter and refilled his glass.
Xiaohu was happily eating beside them. Seeing the delicious - looking drink, he came over and tugged at Ye Zhinan's skirt, begging for a drink.
"Xiaohu, drink this. This is for kids."
Ye Zhinan had also prepared barley tea because plum juice was too sweet, and she was afraid it would affect the teeth of young children.
Xiaohu was reluctant. Holding the barley tea, he hesitated to drink it and stared blankly at the plum juice in Li Feilong's hand.
Lu Yanlai poured a glass of water, walked up to Xiaohu, and said gently,
"Xiaohu, do you want to drink water or barley tea?"
"This."
Without even thinking, Xiaohu stuffed the barley tea into his mouth.
"You're really amazing!"
Ye Zhinan gave Lu Yanlai a thumbs - up. She was at a complete loss when it came to kids.
Li Feilong tried rabbit heads of other spiciness levels and finally came to a conclusion.
"Although they're all spicy, each spiciness level has a different flavor. I think I can only handle medium - spicy, but I still can't help but try the heavy - spicy one, and I might even start with the super - spicy one. So, separating the spiciness levels is really a good idea."
"I'm really impressed with you, sister. You always have so many good ideas."
Ye Zhinan waved her hand shyly and silently thanked the owners of modern marinated duck shops in her heart. But she couldn't say this out loud, so she just said,
"The benefits of reading more books are obvious."
Li Feilong waved his big hand and scratched his head.
"I'll pass. I'm just a rough guy. Well, Xiaohu can do it, and so can Yanlai."
Lu Yanlai glanced at the "rough guy" in front of her.
This man used to be a general, galloping on the battlefield and reading countless military books. Now he was being humble.
Ye Zhinan saw through it but didn't say anything.
"There's nothing else in my house but books. Of course, my father's books aren't suitable for us. Next time, I'll bring some of the ones I've read. You can just take a look."
Ye Zhinan didn't dare to say that Ye Shenyan loved books as much as his life, but thinking of the books given to Qin Yihuai, she could use them again.
Fortunately, she had made several copies at that time. The technology in modern times was really good. They looked just like the ones hand - copied.
They discussed the types of food they were going to sell and renovated the stall. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting to reopen.
Ye Zhinan specifically chose the day when Sister Hong went to the town to open.
Sister Hong frowned and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"You're just calculating against me. This time, I'm going to eat all your marinated food and ten rabbit heads."
"No problem. It's all easy to talk about. As long as you speak up, Sister Hong, you're our long - term VIP."
Sister Hong stared with wide eyes and opened her mouth.
"What V, what P?"
Ye Zhinan pursed her lips and laughed while holding her stomach.
On the opening day, as usual, she dressed up as a rough farmer who had been working in the fields for a long time. With hands on her hips and chest puffed out, she followed Sister Hong and carried the bag.
The situation of the marinated food stall wasn't as good as they had imagined. There were only a few customers coming and going in front of the stall. The rabbit heads occupied half of the stall, but no one showed any interest.
"It seems that people still don't dare to eat them!"
Sister Hong pointed at the neatly arranged rabbit heads with bared teeth.
"Otherwise, let me go and give it a try?"
Sister Hong walked over to buy as she did before. When people saw someone buying, they gathered around in twos and threes, but there weren't many real buyers.
Seeing this, Lu Yanlai quickly took out the pre - torn rabbit heads and stepped forward.
"Everyone can have a taste. If it's not to your liking, you can look at other things. It doesn't matter whether you buy or not."
Even so, the number of people who tried only increased by a few.
However, some people gave good reviews after eating.
"The taste is good. I didn't expect I could handle such spicy food."
"Then you can buy some and take them home for your family to try!"
Lu Yanlai replied playfully, but the man shook his head.
"My kid loves rabbits the most. He definitely won't eat this."
"Yeah, even if my family doesn't like rabbits, it's really hard to take a bite when seeing these rabbit heads!"
Some people came over, and everyone started talking all at once.
"There's a way to eat rabbit heads. If you do it right, it's very easy."
Li Feilong picked up a rabbit head and started eating it according to the method Ye Zhinan had taught him.
Seeing him eating with relish, many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Give me one. It looks quite interesting. I'll buy it to go with my wine."
"You really know how to eat. This is even more delicious with wine. If you chill the wine, it'll be even better."
Lu Yanlai was quick - witted. She smiled and packed the rabbit head, then added a few pieces of marinated duck necks.
"This is for you to try. Come again if you like it."
Ye Zhinan watched from the side and showed a knowing smile.
It seemed that these two had learned well and were getting better at doing business.
However, at the end of the day, the amount they sold was far less than their estimate.
The marinated food was all sold out, but there were still many rabbit heads left. Everyone stared blankly at the things on the stall.
Li Feilong picked up a rabbit head unwillingly, frowned tightly, and pursed his lips.
"It's clearly delicious. Why don't people recognize good food?"
As he said this, he burped. In order to make people think it was delicious, he had eaten most of them that day. Now, he might vomit if he looked at them one more time.
"We've made Big Brother Li suffer today by eating so much, but this isn't a long - term solution."
Ye Zhinan saw the worried look on Lu Yanlai's face.
"Today is the first day. It's normal that people can't accept it. Let's wrap up the remaining ones first. I want to go somewhere."
After saying that, her bright eyes looked at Sister Hong, full of pleading.
"Alright, go ahead. I'll wait for you at the town entrance, but you must come back before it gets dark!"
Ye Zhinan thanked her loudly, then hugged a bag of rabbit heads and marinated food and dragged Lu Yanlai away.
They came to the rabbit meat shop. Lu Yanlai pointed at the man leisurely drinking tea inside and said,
"That's Boss Su."
Ye Zhinan looked over and saw that the man was of a strong build, with sharp eyebrows and eyes. His high nose bridge made every line on his face look even sharper.
This man...
He didn't look like a meat seller at all.
At this time, Su Daqiang seemed to notice someone looking at him. He looked up, and the sharpness on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by the usual smooth smile.
"Boss Lu, you're here!"
