In just one stick of incense, the onlookers surrounded Xie Zhao in three layers, leaving Jiang Yuzhu only enough space for one person to pass through.
Not far away, the people who were watching the stone being broken on the chest were all attracted and rushed over to join in the fun.
"impossible!"
In the crowd, a man in black stepped forward to question, "This must be a trick, the fire is fake!"
The people looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone responded, "How could it be fake? The firelight illuminates the yellow dog-head mask. It looks real to us!"
The man in black frowned and said sarcastically, "That bastard is only interested in scamming people out of money and doesn't even dare to show his face. I don't believe there's something fishy going on!"
Jiang Yuzhu was maintaining order when she heard someone was disrupting the place. She sneered and said, "Are you from the chest-breaking stone stall next door?"
The crowd of onlookers was attracted. The man in black came here to destroy other people's jobs without any business. It was so unkind.
Originally, Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to make a fuss and just wanted everyone to make money. However, the man in black was meddling in things, which only aroused the curiosity of the people.
Xie Zhao noticed the movement around him and took out a piece of yellow paper to start the fire. In an instant, the yellow paper was burned to ashes.
"Real fire, real fire!"
Everyone ignored the provocative man in black and turned their attention back to Xie Zhao.
In order to show his rigor, Xie Zhao burned paper and cloth in succession and then put the fire into his mouth again.
Just swallowing fire was not interesting enough, so Jiang Yuzhu bought a bunch of grapes and peeled them to start the fire.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Xie Zhao was dominated and performed a scene of swallowing grapes with fire.
“Wonderful and amazing!”
There was thunderous applause all around. The thrown copper coins once again stimulated the man in black. He stood up and said, "It's just swallowing fire. What's the difficulty?"
The copper coins in the bathtub were very heavy, enough to exchange for at least a dozen taels of silver, enough for food and daily necessities.
Jiang Yuzhu had no intention of playing tricks anymore. Seeing the man provoking her again, she was delighted and said, "If you can do it, go for it!"
"Just go ahead!"
The man had just this in mind and strode to the center of the field.
Jiang Yuzhu lit the fire and threw the torch to the man in black: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's change someone else to prove that no one can do the fire-eating performance except my husband."
She and Xie Zhao looked at each other, and Xie Zhao understood what she meant. He took the bath tub to the innkeeper to exchange it for silver.
In the middle of the venue, a man in black held up a torch. The flames made his face appear dark and shiny, but there was no fear in his eyes.
The Goutou couple was afraid of being exposed by him, so they wisely gave up their territory and let him take over.
Just swallow the fire and you can make a lot of money!
"Hurry up, swallow it!"
The people were eagerly waiting and urged impatiently.
Seeing that everyone's appetite was whetted, the man in black raised the torch to the height of his face.
A cool breeze blew in my face, and the smell of burning filled the air.
The laughter of the people around was deafening.
The man in black stared blankly at the torch, and when he wiped his beard with his hand, half of it was burned to ashes.
He refused to believe it and firmly believed that there was something fishy going on. In a fit of anger, he put the fire to his mouth, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and leaned forward.
"ah!"
A scream pierced the night sky. The man in black dropped his torch, covering his face and running around like a headless fly.
The onlookers laughed at the man for overestimating his abilities and were about to continue watching the fire-eating performance when they discovered that the juggler had disappeared.
"We haven't seen enough!"
"I remember that couple was wearing dog-head masks. They were so ugly they were easy to find!"
So, the whole city was searching for the dog-headed couple.
Here, Xie Zhao exchanged more than twenty taels of silver and two hundred loose copper coins, and took Jiang Yuzhu straight to the snack street.
"Boss, I want a serving of seven-star fish balls!"
Jiang Yuzhu counted the copper coins and handed them over, waiting eagerly.
The fish balls are made by hand, with fish meat on the outside and lean meat filling, dried shrimp and other ingredients inside.
Fish balls can be fried or made into soup, and the aroma alone is enough to attract people.
"Can you eat spicy food, young lady?"
The stall owner skillfully took out the fish balls from the oil pan. The skin was fried golden, plump, and had a circle of small bubbles floating on it.
Jiang Yuzhu stared eagerly: "Yes, spicy food!"
The stall owner smiled upon hearing this, and said with a hint of satisfaction: "Finally, there is someone who knows the goods. My skills in making chili sauce are no worse than those for making fish balls."
The fried fish balls are wrapped in oil paper to keep them warm.
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't wait any longer, so she used a small bamboo stick to poke holes in the fish balls to release the steam, and the soup inside flowed out.
Seeing this, Xie Zhao took it and said helplessly: "Yuzhu, be careful not to burn your mouth."
Jiang Yuzhu exhaled hot air, fanned herself with her hands, and said incoherently, "Try it quickly, it's delicious!"
Good food is meant to be shared.
Seeing that Xie Zhao was reluctant to eat, Jiang Yuzhu picked up the fish balls and fed them to him.
A strange feeling welled up in Xie Zhao's calm eyes. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Jiang Yuzhu's hand return the way it had come, and half of the fish ball entered her mouth.
"If you don't want to eat it, forget it!"
Half of the fish ball reveals the meat filling inside, which is shining brightly.
Jiang Yuzhu ate and praised the food, licking the soup on her red lips with her tongue.
"lady……"
Xie Zhao's Adam's apple slid slightly, his breathing became deep, and the dark color in his eyes surged.
After being married for more than three years, he had no idea that Jiang Yuzhu was so attractive.
Xie Zhao felt itchy and turned his eyes away awkwardly.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't notice his awkwardness at all, and only half a fish ball remained in her eyes.
Feeling slightly jealous, Xie Zhao leaned forward and took half a fish ball in his mouth and said, "The ones my wife has eaten are still more delicious."
The whole fish ball was too big, so Jiang Yuzhu only ate half of it at a time, and the rest went into Xie Zhao's stomach.
