Stall number 19.
A series of loud horn blared.
The music playing was really upbeat, making people want to sway along.
The entire crowd became excited.
"Like a seaweed~ seaweed."
Seaweed~ Seaweed~ Swaying with the waves~
Seaweed~ Seaweed~ Seaweed~ Seaweed.
Dancing in the waves........
As the music played, a tall, muscular, and overweight man was swaying and grilling meat to the music.
He squinted, humming a song as he sang, looking quite content.
This big fat man is Gan Yimu, a contestant from booth number 19.
At this moment, dozens of people were queuing up in front of his stall, waiting for his grilled squid.
Grilled squid is his specialty. He seems nonchalant, but his hands and feet are very skilled as he manipulates dozens of squid, moving them back and forth over the charcoal fire.
Sprinkle with chili powder and cumin powder, then toss it over.
Brush some peanut oil on it.
The grilled squid sizzled and dripped oil.
They seemed to be shouting with joy.
Although grilling squid takes a lot of time, the overall efficiency is still quite impressive because he can grill hundreds of skewers at a time.
In addition, he was tall and seemed to have inexhaustible strength.
Even after baking for most of the day, I still felt very relaxed.
With the added boost of music, I felt very excited.
Seeing that the food was almost ready, he gathered up about thirty or forty skewers of squid on his left, turned them over and over, and sprinkled them with pepper one last time.
Then pick it up and hand it to the customer.
"I did well on the exam, 68 a string of coins!" he said excitedly.
Seeing that the grilled squid in Gan Yimu's hand was finished, the audience members who were queuing up excitedly took it.
Then I kept scanning his QR code to pay for his services.
His grilled squid sells for 68 yuan a skewer, which is indeed much more expensive than the market price outside, where many skewers only cost 10 or 20 yuan a skewer.
But his grilled squid was just too delicious.
Many barbecue lovers line up at his place.
Yesterday, he sold over 1 million in revenue, ranking third.
He was even more excited today, and got up early to prepare.
Thanks to word-of-mouth recommendations from customers yesterday, business seems to be even better today than yesterday.
Although he has several assistants, they mainly help out; ultimately, it depends on him.
His family has been running night markets for generations, setting up their stalls around 8 p.m. every night until 2 or 3 a.m.
He sells all kinds of barbecue, and grilled squid is his specialty.
I've been exposed to it since I was a child.
After nearly ten years of research, upgrades and improvements.
His grilled squid is now so good that few places in the country can compare to it.
So after the audience finished eating, they all said that the money was well spent.
Many vendors even pack dozens or even hundreds of skewers at a time.
He earned several thousand yuan in one go.
This is why he, a barbecue vendor, can achieve such high sales volume.
Of course, according to yesterday's rankings, there are two people ahead of him.
One is stall number 88, Lu Rong's spicy and sour chicken feet.
Another one is Yuan Hua from stall number 6.
These two people had much higher sales than him.
Although it ranked third, it was still several hundred thousand less in revenue.
So all he can think about right now is how to defeat the two people in front of him.
Just then, a dark-skinned man strode in and whispered excitedly in his ear.
"Brother Mu, good news! I just saw that Yuan Hua from stall number 6 got angry and went home to quit."
"What did you say?" Because the music was too loud, Gan Yimu didn't immediately hear what the other person said.
Seeing this, the man moved his mouth closer to him and repeated what he had just said in his ear.
Gan Yimu then heard it clearly.
When he learned that Yuan Hua, who had ranked first yesterday, had gone home because of a conflict, he couldn't help but grin from ear to ear, and his body swayed even more to the music.
"Haha, so it seems like I should have no problem surpassing him today."
The man who provided the tip smiled and nodded, "The only one left is the stall number 88 that sells spicy and sour chicken feet."
Gan Yimu didn't care about Lu Rong and the others.
He believed that only Yuan Hua was worthy of his attention.
As for Lu Rong, he seems to be a student at Kyoto University, and the whole team is rather weak.
There's no threat.
He patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, those guys at stall number 88, old and young, how could they possibly beat us? Their sales were so good yesterday, it was purely luck."
"How could it possibly compare to my grilled squid?"
"Try to contact one of them tonight and get him to do something for us. Winning this food festival won't be difficult, will it?" he whispered.
The man nodded excitedly after hearing this: "Brother Mu is the smartest. He came up with a solution immediately. But who should we choose?"
Gan Yimu's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea: "I observed yesterday that there was a bald uncle in there who seemed to be in dire need of money. Let's find a way to give him some benefits and get him to do something for us."
Upon hearing this, the man clapped his hands and exclaimed, "That's right! I felt yesterday that this guy could be used by us. If we give him 100,000 or 200,000, wouldn't he obediently follow our orders?"
