Many people come to challenge themselves to eat houttuynia cordata. Humans are keen to challenge high-difficulty limits, but very few people can actually finish a serving of houttuynia cordata. Almost all of them are from the southwestern region.
Chu Fang also felt helpless.
It seems that houttuynia cordata will ultimately remain confined to the southwest region.
"Brother-in-law, another one, please."
Chu Fang looked at his sister-in-law, whose face was pale and who had vomited up her dinner, but was still stubborn.
"Don't eat it, you'll just throw up and waste food."
Driven by the reward, Zhong Rou almost recklessly ate several servings of houttuynia cordata, and then started vomiting afterward.
This is a classic example of someone who values money over life.
"Brother-in-law, I'm trying to help you."
Chu Fang rolled his eyes.
Come on, if you really get sick from eating this, how am I supposed to explain it to your sister?
Business was exceptionally good today compared to the previous few days; all the potatoes were sold out.
"Everyone, that concludes today's challenge. We'll continue tomorrow," Chu Fang said, before he and his sister-in-law drove away in their mobile stall.
... ...
For the next few days, Chu Fang used this method to sell wolf tooth potatoes, and business was booming, but very few people received the reward.
Night falls on the Tanhua residential area.
Chu Fang lay on the table, calculating his income from the past week of setting up his stall. He was quite surprised; even after deducting bonuses, his income was still very high, even exceeding the salary of an average white-collar worker in Shanghai.
"I won," Chu Fang said triumphantly.
He proved that street vending is quite profitable, and that Zhong Tingyue's judgment was wrong.
In the end, Chu Fang won the bet between the two.
Zhong Tingyue glanced at the amount on the account, seemingly unsurprised, and nodded: "Alright, you win."
"Huh?" Chu Fang was taken aback. "Why don't you look disappointed?"
Zhong Tingyue, with a strained expression, said, "If I lose, do you expect me to laugh?"
He paused, then continued, "Besides, I had already guessed the final outcome."
Chu Fang: "Since you've already guessed it, why did you make a bet with me?"
While watching TV, Zhong Tingyue replied calmly, "Since we made that bet, haven't you noticed that your laziness has disappeared?"
Since they made the bet, Chu Fang has been busy all day long, either setting up a stall, researching ingredients, or buying potatoes, showing no signs of the laziness he had shown before.
My day was packed with activities.
Chu Fang: "..."
He fell silent.
Chu Fang realized that he seemed to have fallen into Zhong Tingyue's trap.
That woman is so cunning.
She managed to get him under her thumb with ease.
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips, her pretty face blooming with a smile as beautiful as a flower: "Mr. Chu, you win."
"No, I lost." Chu Fang replied heavily. "I was defeated by your scheming, Zhong Tingyue. You deserve to be struck by lightning for doing this."
"I didn't force you to make the bet; you wanted to make the bet yourself."
So it's my fault?
"If it's not your fault, is it mine?"
"... " Chu Fang remained silent. "You cunning woman, from now on, I will never fall for your tricks again!"
"I wore black stockings today."
"Where?" Chu Fang looked down, his expectant face frozen. "Zhong Tingyue, you lied to me again!"
"whee... ..."
Men are so naive; they'll always be deceived by the same woman in the same way.
Zhong Rou rolled her eyes: "You two should watch your tone when you chat, there are children at home."
"Oh, I forgot." Zhong Tingyue covered the tabby cat's ears. "Children shouldn't listen to these things."
... ...
In the end, Chu Fang won the bet, and Zhong Tingyue also admitted defeat, accepting the punishment of wearing gold-rimmed glasses, black stockings, and high heels.
However, Chu Fang doesn't have these props at home right now, so he plans to buy them in a few days.
The following day, Chu Fang drove his mobile stall to the night market as usual.
He planned to sell for one last day, and then it would be over.
As soon as I stepped out of the residential area, I saw the security guard struggling with his mobile stall cart.
"Grandpa, what are you doing again?"
The security guard said sternly, "Your vehicle is suspected of obstructing traffic and hindering residents from entering and exiting the community. I'm going to impound your vehicle."
Chu Fang: "No, didn't I give you a 'Huazi' cigarette a few days ago?"
"You ate yesterday, so you're not eating today?"
A perfectly valid reason.
Chu Fang stopped the security guard: "No, we're brothers, why do this?"
"No, as a security guard, I have a duty to maintain the safety of the community."
Just as the two were fighting, Zhong Rou walked out humming a song. When the security guard saw Zhong Rou, he was like a mouse seeing a cat: "Oh my god, I forgot that this little devil is back."
Zhong Rou was overjoyed to see the security guard and patted him on the shoulder: "Uncle, it's been a long time! How have you been? We haven't sparred in ages."
The security guard had taught Zhong Rou a few military fighting techniques, which she quickly learned and then applied to the security guard.
This old man really messed things up.
Their sparring sessions were a one-sided 'slaughter' by Zhong Rou.
Seeing this, Chu Fang said, "Zhong Rou, your uncle misses you terribly. He keeps asking when you're coming back. He said he'll give you a big red envelope when you come back."
"I'll take care of you..." the security guard said, exasperated.
He was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but meeting Zhong Rou's expectant gaze and Chu Fang's devilish face, he knew that he was in deep trouble today.
The security guard chuckled and said, "Your brother-in-law is right, I did give you a red envelope."
Then the security guard took out his own savings and gave Zhong Rou a red envelope, his teeth practically grinding together: "I've missed you so much."
Chu Fang had already driven his mobile stall truck away from the Tanhua residential area.
The security guard said, word by word, "Young Master Chu, this isn't over!"
... ...
Upon arriving at the night market, he found himself still paying to do business, and he canceled the reward program of eating wolf-tooth potatoes.
"Hey? Handsome, why did you cancel your event?" a regular customer asked.
"I don't want to continue doing this."
This was the last day of his stall, and he had won the bet that he didn't want to attract customers with that kind of marketing approach.
"Oh, give me a serving of wolf tooth potatoes," a regular customer said.
"There's no reward today," Chu Fang reminded him.
"I know, but I suddenly think that wolf tooth potatoes are quite delicious, especially the fishy smell of houttuynia cordata. The more you eat, the more delicious they become."
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang was delighted.
He remembered that this regular customer had been "dying" after just one bite a few days ago, but now he could finally enjoy the delicious taste of houttuynia cordata.
He instantly felt that all the hard work he had put in over the past week had been worthwhile.
Surprisingly, even without the event, Chu Fang's stall still had many customers. Many of them tried houttuynia cordata because of the reward and gradually came to like this delicacy.
"Give me one." My old classmate Cen You came again, accompanied by his beautiful girlfriend.
"Here you go." Chu Fang handed the last portion of wolf tooth potatoes to his old classmate.
"Are you not going to sell it?"
Chu Fang replied, "Yeah, this industry is exhausting."
"Why don't you try working at my company?"
Chu Fang shook his head: "Thank you, but I can't stand the nine-to-five life."
After chatting for a few minutes, Cen You and his beautiful girlfriend left.
Cen You ate a wolf-tooth potato as he walked, then handed it to his girlfriend: "Pingping, would you like to try a bite?"
Girlfriend Pingping: "I can't eat this kind of food."
"It's quite delicious."
His girlfriend Pingping turned around and saw Chu Fang sitting in front of the stall chatting with someone. She asked softly, "Honey, you seem to care a lot about your old classmate."
"Is there?" Cen You asked.
“Yes,” said his girlfriend Pingping. “I’ve met many of your classmates, and they’re not doing very well either. Some of them wanted your help, but you refused. This is the first time I’ve seen you help one of your classmates.”
Cen You smiled and said, "The other classmates are just classmates; helping them won't bring any benefit, but helping Chu Fang..."
My girlfriend Pingping asked, "Are there any benefits?"
“No,” Cen You replied, “but… I would be very happy to help him, so I would be quite willing to help him.”
"Why?"
"Chu Fang used to be so successful, someone I could never reach, but now he accepts my help. I feel extremely satisfied. This is a feeling that no amount of money can buy."
Cen You sighed, "However, Chu Fang is so stubborn. Even after being reduced to setting up a stall, he still maintains his stubbornness. It's a real pity."
He just wanted to find satisfaction in Chu Fang and make up for his past loneliness, nothing more.
Cen You's girlfriend, Pingping, linked arms with him and said, "That's because he's blind."
