Master Li came out and saw the fish and dried squid on the grill, and paused for a few seconds.

His gaze was immediately drawn to it.

There were also snails and bird eggs in the clay pot?

Aunt Wang helped from the side, watching her operate with a suspicious look.

"You can even roast taro?" Chef Li couldn't help but ask.

Not only taro, but also shiitake mushrooms, eggplants, peppers, chicken feet, and so on.

They used to grill seafood and meat, and add some chives or something.

Lin Ziyan swallowed hard; she had been craving these small, fragrant taro for a long time.

She had only eaten it once or twice when she was a child. After growing up, she ate it as frozen taro chunks skewered for barbecue, which greatly reduced the aroma.

"Of course, there are also potato chips, corn kernels, tofu skin, and so on," Lin Ziyan replied casually.

Aunt Wang's shop has many small stoves and various spices.

Moreover, she had prepared some of the ingredients that Lin Ziyan had mentioned to her yesterday.

Mr. Li couldn't resist and immediately stepped forward to help.

He had doubts when he stir-fried crayfish last time, always feeling that no one would want to eat shrimp that didn't have much meat.

In the end, he was proven wrong; customers not only liked it, but also lined up every day to eat there.

Of course, the busier the store is, the more wages and bonuses the boss will give.

The reason why Mr. Li has been in the shop for so long and is unwilling to leave to go solo is because of this.

He only knows how to cook, and knows nothing about business. He might not be able to run a store well if he really goes it alone.

After only a short while, Chef Li learned it all and quickly ushered Lin Ziyan out of the kitchen.

"Ayan, just wait to eat, and let Uncle Li practice his skills too."

Lin Ziyan, "..."

Aunt Wang quickly handed her a glass of lemonade, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect there to be so many things that can be baked."

…

Fangjie and Song Yi arrived just as most of the dishes were served.

The workers from the electronics store sat at four tables.

The shrimp paste factory workers sat at four tables; the rest were left to their own devices.

When Lin Ziyan saw Sister Fang, she quickly waved for them to come inside and sit down.

Aunt Wang smiled so much her eyes narrowed into slits. The air conditioning was on in the shop, and the plastic curtain in front was lowered to block the cold air from blowing out.

Lin Ziyan booked almost all the tables inside tonight.

Lin Ziyan: "Sister Fang, did you bring the wasabi?"

"I went back and looked for it for a long time before I found it. I really don't know what you're going to do with the wasabi. Are you treating us to Japanese food tonight?" Fang Jie blinked.

After Song Yi sat down, he looked suspiciously at the barbecue and fish on the table.

"You'll find out soon enough," Lin Ziyan said cryptically as she walked inside with the wasabi in her hand.

Lin Ziyan had just stepped inside when Lu Yunshen, Yang Yanzhou, and the others entered the store.

Lu Cheng and Pei Zhuling exchanged a glance, thinking they had gone to the wrong place.

Lifting the transparent curtain, a blast of coolness swept over me, a refreshing feeling that carried away all the heat from my body.

"Tsk, this food stall really invests a lot; they even installed air conditioning," Lu Cheng couldn't help but remark.

"Qiuying, come over here." Sister Fang waved to Lu Qiuying when she saw her.

Lu Qiuying walked into the store and saw the only empty table, so she walked towards it.

Once everyone was seated, Lin Ziyan squeezed the wasabi into bowls, divided it into portions, and placed them next to the dried squid.

Lu Yunshen: "If you didn't make sushi, why did you squeeze out wasabi?"

Lin Ziyan put on disposable gloves, took a torn piece of dried squid, dipped it in sauce and wasabi, and handed it to him.

Lu Yunshen's eyes darkened slightly. He picked it up suspiciously and took a bite. A burst of wasabi hit his nose, making him immediately want to drink some alcohol to calm down.

Lin Ziyan had already poured the wine and was waiting, so she handed it to him.

"That's enough, you two. I'm already a little full before I've even eaten," Yang Yanzhou retorted, seeing their reaction.

He copied Lin Ziyan, dipping dried squid in wasabi. After dipping it in a little, he felt it was stingy and added some more.

Pei Zhuling watched from the side, her eyes twitching, but she didn't remind him.

She had long known how strong the aftereffects of wasabi were when she ate Japanese food before.

Sure enough, Yang Yanzhou didn't realize what was happening at first, but his expression twisted as he was choked by the wasabi and almost couldn't breathe, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Pfft!" Lu Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, almost slapping his thigh.

She'd never seen anyone eat wasabi like that; it was like asking for trouble.

"You call this gourmet food? More like a gourmet bomb! It almost killed me..." After recovering, Yang Yanzhou drank several mouthfuls of wine.

Lu Yun Shen glanced at him and continued eating the dried squid, but he didn't add as much wasabi as Yang Yan Zhou.

"This fish is delicious, so fragrant!" The chubby girl, sitting next to Lu Qiuying, hadn't had a chance to speak at all.

Lu Qiuying nodded, and she followed suit, picking up fish and unable to stop.

Seeing Yang Yanzhou's reaction, the chubby girl became very curious about the green sauce.

Unable to resist her curiosity, she tried the dried squid with wasabi, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"It's so spicy..." the chubby girl muttered, but she didn't dare to put too much sauce on her face.

Lin Ziyan ignored them and started eating.

I kept praising him in my heart. He was a natural chef. He could learn anything at a glance and his hands-on skills were amazing.

With a chef like that working as the head chef at a street food stall, it's no wonder Aunt Wang's restaurant is always so popular.

At this time, Aunt Wang was so busy that she barely had time to breathe. When the customers who came into the store saw the grilled fish, almost every table ordered it.

With the new dishes launched tonight, Aunt Wang's food stall became popular once again.

Fangjie's mustard, which she had been keeping hidden away and unable to sell, was all bought by Aunt Wang.

Lin Ziyan remembered an electrical appliance and immediately placed an order with the S Group.

…

A few days later, Yang Yanzhou received news from Beijing.

Chen Yi's cargo ship was struck by a ship marked with an "M" while passing through international waters near Country A.

The ship was sold by Maiwei to Jack, and all the cargo on board was stolen.

The news released by Country A only mentioned "accidental collision" and made no mention of the cargo ship's cargo being stolen.

Yang Yanzhou explained the situation to Lu Yunshen, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he asked suspiciously,

"Brother Shen, you already had the news?"

"The shipping route Chen Yi took is newly opened, and almost no cargo ships use it," Lu Yunshen said calmly, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

He used to have doubts about the Chen family, but now he's uncertain.

Yang Yanzhou looked at him thoughtfully, but didn't ask any further questions.

Taking that new route cuts the round trip to Country A in half, but not many people are taking it.

Their cargo ships almost always take a long detour to country A.

Every time the captain suggested taking the new route, Lu Yunshen rejected it.

"Why would Jack be waiting there?" Yang Yanzhou murmured.

Since no one left, it was strange for Jack to be waiting there, unless he had received prior notice.

Yang Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat. If he really did get the news in advance, would it be Ren Feng who leaked it?

Unbeknownst to the two, this "accident" caused Chen Yi to lose almost all the money he had earned.

His childhood friends, who had partnered with him, immediately broke off the partnership and started chasing him for debts.

The patriarch of the Chen family was so angry that he fainted, and chaos ensued.

Ren Feng also took the opportunity to bring the contract to the Chen family and demanded that the contract be fulfilled and compensation be paid.

The contract clearly states that if any problems arise with the goods, not only will the full amount be refunded, but also liquidated damages and other penalties will be paid.
