Delicious, this is really good.
I’ll ask that handsome young man later if he can sell the recipe.
I have plenty of money, I’ll let my brother open one in Zhonghai City, and then I can come every day.
It seems this handsome young man has a story, but the day I bumped into him...
It was as if I went specifically to buy Kong Lu Feng Cai. At that time, it was as if buying it guaranteed winning the grand prize.
Since Kong Lu Feng Cai opened, no one has won the grand prize, and even second prize is rare.
But it seems that a few days ago, there were five second prize winners here…
Wait, the one I paid for him looked like five prizes. Could the winner be him?
Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes looked at Zhang Tianxing, and after a long time, she couldn't discern anything.
Forget it, I’ll taste the delicious food first, and then ask him later to see what's going on.
Just as she was enjoying the delicious food, Yan Ruyu heard someone at the next table say:
"There are quite a few people today, it seems this barbecue stall has potential. We should collect more protection fees."
A few hoodlums were eating crayfish and drinking beer.
"Hey, I have to say, these crayfish are delicious, the only downside is having to peel them."
"That's true, but crayfish with alcohol, the more you drink, the better it gets."
Yan Ruyu glanced at the hoodlums and then stood up and walked towards Zhang Tianxing.
"That girl is so hot," one of the hoodlums muttered and was about to stand up when he was pulled back by a companion.
"The main business is important, eat first. Wait for the boss's order."
After hearing this, the hoodlum had to sit down dejectedly.
"Little handsome guy, I have a secret to tell you," Yan Ruyu said, her breath like orchids.
Zhang Tianxing, while flipping the skewers with his hands, replied:
"Sister, just say what you want to say. I'm all ears."
"Do you see the hoodlums at that table?" Yan Ruyu pointed with her mouth.
"I see them, just hoodlums." Zhang Tianxing glanced over. It’s only the second day, and they’ve already shown up. He wondered what kind of show they were preparing to put on.
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's answer, Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes lit up. This young man was prepared, so it would be lively later.
"Let me ask you another thing, tell me the recipe for the spicy crayfish, I'm very interested."
"Are you joking, sister? That's my livelihood, I can't just pass it on to others. In ancient times, it was a secret skill passed from father to son, not daughter," Zhang Tianxing said casually.
Sister, I'm sorry, you have money, but you're not buying crayfish from me. You want to get the recipe with just one sentence? It's not that easy.
I'm not someone who is easily tempted by beauty. Besides, this is just the appetizer. I want to see the performance of this siren, Yan Ruyu.
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu's expression changed, and she said pitifully:
"I heard that you taught the recipe for crayfish to many restaurants in the county. Why would you teach them but not me? Is it because I'm not pretty?"
Zhang Tianxing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This was his weakness, he couldn't resist it…
But he couldn't escalate the situation on the spot, or it would be a laughingstock.
Seeing that Zhang Tianxing didn't react, Yan Ruyu continued leisurely:
"How about this? I'll pay a master's fee, one hundred yuan, how about that?"
One hundred yuan was considered quite sincere, but Zhang Tianxing was thinking more.
"Where is your restaurant? If it's in Zhonghai City, it's easy to talk about, but I have one condition."
Yan Ruyu almost exploded. There were still conditions? You're going too far. Yan Ruyu sighed.
"Alright, it's in Zhonghai City. Just state your condition. As long as it's within my abilities, doesn't violate laws and regulations, and doesn't go against public morality and customs, I'll agree to it."
"The condition is very simple. For the next two months, you have to order two hundred jin of crayfish from us every day. I'll sell it to you at market price, but I require cash settlement because I don't have the money to cover the inventory."
Yan Ruyu readily agreed. "I'll send someone to pick up the goods then."
The matter was simpler than imagined. It seemed the first two steps went well.
Now it depends on how much influence Yan Ruyu has and whether she can make crayfish popular in Zhonghai City.
However, one shouldn't rely entirely on others. One must be strong oneself.
Before they could talk more, the hoodlum staggered over.
"Kid, we're under Dong Ge from East City. We're here on Dong Ge's orders to collect the previous management fees."
Damn, they are collecting protection fees so arrogantly now?
It seems I thought things were too easy. This is the first time Dong Ge's subordinates have come, so I'll just treat it as a donation and pay them.
"I'm sorry, I can't make that decision. The key to this issue is how many people recognize the crayfish."
While the hoodlum was acting self-important, Gao Tianming came out.
"Dong Ge from East City? Forget it. This is a small business, I don't want to trouble Dong Ge." He wanted to send them away first.
Seeing that Zhang Tianxing was not cooperating and was directly pushing them away.
The yellow-haired hoodlum directly shouted: "You need to think carefully, you can't afford to offend Dong Ge."
Before Zhang Tianxing could reply, a middle-aged man walked over.
He grabbed the yellow-haired hoodlum and said, "Kid, what are you doing here?"
The yellow-haired hoodlum was about to curse, but as soon as he saw the face of the middle-aged man, he was shocked.
This middle-aged man was none other than Gao Tianming's father – Gao Hongqiang, the captain of the public security bureau in the county.
"Captain Gao, I was blind and wrong. I'll leave immediately."
"Before you go, settle the bill. Don't try to eat and run. If I find out, you'll regret it."
Hearing Gao Hongqiang's words, the yellow-haired hoodlum forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"We are law-abiding citizens, Captain Gao, you've misunderstood us."
Gao Hongqiang ignored the yellow-haired hoodlum and walked towards Zhang Tianxing.
The yellow-haired hoodlum broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed he had indeed fallen this time. No one expected Gao Hongqiang to appear at this night market.
He had indeed fallen today. He didn't dare to provoke Captain Gao. Everyone came from humble beginnings; the wise know when to adapt.
Gao Tianming ran over at this moment, "Dad, why are you here?"
"I came to see how you're doing here. You've never done any manual labor since you were young. Can you handle it here?" Gao Hongqiang asked with some worry.
It's too chaotic here. Fortunately, I'm here. Otherwise, that hoodlum just now was clearly looking for trouble.
Otherwise, if there was a conflict, his son might suffer.
Gao Tianming smiled, "No problem, I'm doing well here. Look, Wen Qing is also here."
Gao Hongqiang saw Wen Qing carrying skewers and serving them, and was immediately shocked. This scene surprised him even more than seeing his son serving skewers.
Zhang Tianxing first handed over a string of skewers. "Uncle, please try it first and give us some suggestions on what techniques need improvement. Thank you for your help just now."
"Dayong, Dayong, get Uncle a basin of crayfish. Uncle, do you want it spicy or garlic-flavored?"
Seeing Zhang Tianxing's enthusiasm, Gao Hongqiang waved his hand. "No, I'll go home later. I was just passing by. By the way, everyone in my class says your crayfish are delicious."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianxing quickly packed up the items.
"How about this, Uncle, take it back for Auntie to try. Tianming is very capable and competent here, and we get along very well."
Gao Hongqiang smiled. "The taste of the crayfish Tianming tried at home a few days ago was really good. It's you young people who have ideas. I never thought crayfish could be made so delicious."
"Tianming has never done much work at home. You are all classmates, so you should be tolerant of each other. If anything comes up, tell me directly. As for those hoodlums just now, you don't need to pay them any attention."
