The Su siblings prepared a thousand meat and a thousand vegetarian skewers today, but in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, only a shallow layer remained in the basket, which looked to be only about two hundred skewers.
One skewer per person probably wouldn't be enough.
The students who arrived later immediately became anxious.
"Wang Dapang, you scoundrel, at least leave me a couple of skewers to try! You bought a hundred skewers at once, aren't you afraid of eating yourself into a pig?"
"Yeah, Fatty Wang, Lu Lao Er, if you don't leave me some, you won't be allowed to copy my notes this month!"
"Those guys in front of us are just slurping away, we've been classmates for so many years, and now when it comes to eating, they don't even recognize each other anymore, huh..."
Upon hearing these words, Wang Dapang, Lu Lao Er, and the others who were to be criticized immediately grabbed their skewers and walked several steps away.
After standing still, he slurped up the soup while raising his eyebrows triumphantly at the students behind him in line.
Whether I'm fat or not doesn't matter, as long as I'm full, I'll have the energy to lose weight.
As for notes, if I don't want to copy them, I won't; it'll save me the trouble.
Anyway, I wanted to share these skewers with them?
No way!
The meat on one skewer is just enough to fill a tooth gap.
After years of vegetarianism, it's so rare to find something delicious to eat, so naturally, filling my mouth and stomach is the most important thing.
The hungry students, hearing the slurping sounds rising and falling, were itching to punch something.
Meanwhile, the mutton soup stall, wonton stall, sesame seed cake stall, and noodle stall on the side were extremely deserted.
The vendors' sighs and groans were deafening.
Seeing this, Su Hua couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Today is the first day of Su's Spicy Hot Pot's opening, so we didn't prepare enough!"
If you're still hungry, you can have some wontons, mutton soup, sesame flatbread, or plain noodles with the hot pot.
These two ingredients together taste absolutely amazing!
The vendors were all shrewd; upon hearing this, their dull and gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, and they glanced gratefully at Su Hua.
They all started shouting their wares.
"Wontons! Spicy and fragrant wontons! They've been cooking right next to the hot pot broth, so the soup is soaked in the aroma of hot pot! Vegetarian wontons are five coins, and meat wontons are eight coins. Delicious and affordable!"
"Lamb soup! Fresh and hot lamb soup, made from pure wild goat meat, which grew up eating vegetables from spicy hot pot. A big bowl costs ten copper coins and warms you right to the core!"
"Sesame seed cake! A big sesame seed cake with a thin crust and a generous filling. One bite of sesame seed cake and one skewer of meat, the taste is heavenly!"
"Yangchun noodles! A big bowl of Yangchun noodles for ten coins! Yangchun noodles with spicy hot pot, a perfect match..."
The increasingly loud cries of vendors, mixed with the pungent aroma of fresh and spicy food, tempted the students.
It's getting late, and going to Tianxianglou or any other place would take too much effort.
It would be better to just eat lunch while enjoying the aroma.
If we could get a couple of skewers from Wang Dapang and his friends, and eat them with wontons, noodles, mutton soup, or something similar, the taste should be pretty good.
However, before heading to the next stall, each student made sure to ask the Su siblings to bring more skewers the next day.
Su Hua readily agreed.
During the reign of Yu the Great, studying was something that only wealthy families could afford.
She had anticipated that the students of Baichuan Academy would have considerable spending power, but she hadn't expected them to be so extravagant.
They can sell one or two hundred skewers at a time.
The two thousand skewers we prepared earlier were simply not enough to sell, so we must increase the quantity of skewers tomorrow.
However, you shouldn't add too much.
In business, you have to make sure that some people can't get enough of the food, that they can't sleep, and that they're constantly thinking about it. Only then can the business last.
After the bustling crowd dispersed, Su Hua felt a warm gaze fall upon her.
She raised her almond-shaped eyes and saw a fair-skinned young man in a sky-blue robe standing a short distance away. His face was clean and his features were well-defined.
Her bright eyes seemed to hold a hint of sorrow.
"Young Master Qin, what a coincidence!" Su Hua raised an eyebrow and chuckled, picking out two skewers of pig lung from the pot and handing them to Qin Yucheng.
"Here, this is some new food we made at home, mala tang! Don't you love pig lungs the most? How about trying this mala tang pig lungs? Do you like it?"
Looking at the pork lung skewers covered in broth, Qin Yucheng's sorrow instantly vanished by more than half.
She even remembered his preferences.
He rolled up his sleeves and took it, but his tone remained arrogant: "Miss Su doesn't keep her word to my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother!"
Seven days ago, we clearly agreed that if you came to Qingshui County, you must go to Qingyi Lane in the east of the city to find me.
Now, I don't even know how many times I've been to the county, and my business is booming. I've completely forgotten about Yu Cheng!
The three Su brothers were all startled and turned to look at Su Hua in unison.
Qin Yucheng did say this before he left Shanghe Village last time.
However, this was their first time visiting Qingshui County in recent days.
Only Hua'er has come several times.
Feeling the intense gazes from four people, Su Hua guiltily touched her nose. Could she say that she only took it as a polite remark?
I didn't take it seriously at all.
The stall owner quieted down, but the students waiting in line around him couldn't stay quiet.
"Girl, there are hardly any skewers left in the pot, how can you give them to this guy who cut in line!"
"Yes, didn't you just say it was first come, first served? He was at the very end of the line."
"I've already bought the wontons, I'm just waiting for this spicy hot pot to be eaten. He'll eat two skewers, and then there'll be some for me..."
Just as Qin Yucheng was about to put the skewers in his mouth, he heard a sound and suddenly felt that the wooden skewers in his hand were a little hot.
Letting go is not an option, nor is keeping it.
Su Hua smiled and explained gently, "Yu Cheng is family, so it can't be considered cutting in line."
