Upon hearing Han Yiyi's words, Manager Tong noticed that the two little ones were holding strange-looking things skewered on bamboo sticks and eating them with great relish.
It was clearly meat inside, but it seemed to be wrapped in something. I didn't know what it was, so I asked instinctively.
"Grilled sausage?"
Hearing Tong's question, Han Yiyi took one of the two remaining sausages in front of the two little ones and handed it to Tong.
Shopkeeper Tong subconsciously took it, but when he turned his head, he saw that the two little ones were staring straight at him, their eyes seeming to say something.
"Don't eat our sausages, if you eat them, there won't be enough for us to go around..."
Actually, Han Yi hadn't planned for the two little ones to eat that much. The reason he roasted four pieces was to let Manager Tong try them. After all, how would he know how delicious they were if he didn't taste them?
Han Yiyi had this plan, but the two little ones didn't know it. So, the two of them just stared at Shopkeeper Tong with their four big eyes blinking.
At this moment, Manager Tong felt awkward eating, as if he were being snatched away by a child, which was a bit embarrassing. But if he didn't eat, the aroma kept wafting into his nose, making it impossible for him to put the food down.
In the end, she steeled herself, looked away from the two little ones, and put the sausage directly into her mouth, thinking to herself, "Face doesn't matter, food is what matters."
When the two little ones saw their sausages go into Manager Tong's mouth, they pouted and quickly pulled the last remaining sausage from the table in front of them, while looking at Manager Tong warily.
Han Yiyi couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the two of them act, while Manager Tong, startled by the taste of the sausage in his mouth, widened his eyes in surprise.
The flavor was so delicious and juicy that when you took a bite, the juice would splash into your mouth. The outer skin was crispy, and the meat inside was tender, firm, and chewy. It was truly a perfect blend of five flavors: fragrant, crispy, tender, smooth, and juicy, which was intoxicating. So I couldn't resist taking another bite. When I came to my senses, all I had left in my hand was a bamboo skewer.
Manager Tong looked at the bamboo skewers in his hand, still not quite satisfied, and then turned his attention to the grilled sausages in front of the two little ones.
Seeing this, Shi Tou quickly picked up the sausage in front of him, took a bite, and then handed it to his older sister so that she could also take a bite.
Looking at the two little ones' actions, Manager Tong touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
Upon seeing this, Han Yiyi's eyes flickered, filled with amusement, but she quickly concealed it, then hurriedly handed over a piece of grilled meat and said.
"The two little ones love this so much that they're a bit possessive of their food. Please don't take offense, Manager Tong. Why don't you try this roast meat? It tastes pretty good too..."
Shopkeeper Tong already felt embarrassed for taking food from the two little ones, and Han Yiyi's words seemed to confirm that he had indeed taken food from the two children, so he could no longer complain.
So he thought he would say a few words of refusal to ease the awkwardness, but when he saw the meat skewers being handed over, which seemed to be sizzling with oil, and the smell seemed even more tempting than that kind of grilled sausage, he didn't say anything and just reached out and took them.
The first bite was like opening the door to a new world. This was a taste he had never experienced before. He had eaten a lot of barbecue, but this taste was so irresistible.
If the taste of the grilled sausage earlier had amazed him, then this meat skewer had shocked him. Looking at Manager Tong, who was enjoying his meal, Han Yiyi couldn't help but smile slightly.
Actually, for Han Yiyi, the barbecue would be even better if it were beef or lamb.
However, the cattle here are all used for plowing and cannot be slaughtered at will. As for mutton, most people think it is too gamey and the restaurant will not prepare it in advance unless someone makes a reservation. Therefore, there is no mutton in the restaurant today.
Fortunately, Han Yiyi had Laifu cut pork belly, and with the barbecue seasoning that's so good it's good even for grilling shoe soles, the taste was quite good. Han Yiyi, who hadn't had barbecue in a long time, couldn't resist eating a few more skewers.
The shopkeeper looked at the empty bamboo skewer in his hand, then at Han Yiyi who was eating her kebabs by herself, and couldn't help but think to himself, "How stingy of him, he only gave me one skewer."
His gaze involuntarily drifted to the meat skewers displayed on the shelf, and he began to consider the feasibility of swallowing his pride and reaching out to grab them himself.
Laifu looked at his boss. Ever since entering this private room, he had been eating grilled sausages and skewers, and he was also craving them. His eyes had hardly left the barbecue grill.
While Manager Tong was still debating whether to swallow his pride and go get the roast meat, he heard a knock on the door of the private room, followed by a commotion at the door. Judging from the voices, they were asking about the status of the roast meat, and it seemed that a few impatient people had already started to lose their temper.
Hearing the sounds outside, Manager Tong seemed to just wake up from a dream, remembering what he had come here for. He had just given Lai Fu a look, signaling him to go out and appease the situation, when he heard Han Yiyi say, "Come in..."
The door to the private room was already ajar. As soon as Han Yiyi spoke, several people walked in. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man around forty years old with a full beard, looking quite rugged.
When the man entered the private room and saw Han Yiyi and the two children, he was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that his behavior was a bit abrupt. However, the next moment, that slight awkwardness was washed away by the rich and tempting aroma in the room.
The man stepped forward and pulled the shopkeeper, Tong, aside. Then he asked Han Yiyi a question.
“Young lady, this food isn’t from this restaurant, is it? I see you still have some left. I suppose the three of you can’t finish it all. Why don’t you sell it to me? You, you name a price…”
The man, named Wang Yuanshan, was a regular customer of Yunlai Restaurant. He naturally knew that this item did not belong to Yunlai Restaurant, so he asked directly.
As soon as the man finished speaking, before Han Yiyi could even open her mouth, the people who had come in with him also spoke up, offering to buy the item.
Seeing this, Manager Tong became somewhat anxious. The people who could come to his Yunlai Restaurant to eat were all people who were not short of money. Moreover, this Wang Yuanshan was a businessman. If he were to buy Han Yiyi's prescription first, he would probably regret it to the point of despair.
That's right, Manager Tong knew that Han Yiyi was coming today and had pulled this stunt, so he must have wanted to sell him the recipe for this dish.
He had only thought that if Gan Han offered to sell the house to him, he would have the upper hand and could negotiate a lower price. But he never expected so many unexpected obstacles to appear.
