Chapter 100: Travel Together

But he was not in a hurry to find fault.

Whether it’s big or small depends on the taste. If it tastes good, he won’t care.

The freshly grilled sausage is very hot.

He blew and bit at the same time.

Take a bite.

The oil in the grilled sausage immediately gushed out, and the fat man gasped due to the scalding.

But he was reluctant to let go.

fragrant!

It smells so good!

There is such delicious meat in the world.

The crust is baked crispy and chewy, and the meat inside becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.

The fat man ate with ecstasy.

He took one mouthful after another.

Even if his hot tongue was dancing in his mouth, he would still eat it.

After a while, all the sausages were in his stomach.

"Delicious! Give me five more, no, ten! I want to take them back for my family."

The fat man's eyes were as bright as the moon on the Mid-Autumn Night.

He looked very satisfied, as if he had tasted some delicious food.

"Oh, I don't have anything to wrap you with. You probably can't hold ten of them. If they fall to the ground, it will be over. Eryong, go get the leaves you just used to wrap the cakes and use them to wrap this guest."

When Zhang Jinlan heard that he wanted ten more, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

"Is it really that delicious? It looks fake to me. Could it be a show hired by the store?"

A middle-aged man dressed in fine fabrics stood in the crowd and shouted loudly.

His words stirred the emotions of the onlookers.

People began to suspect.

"Anyone dares to open a shop. Look at what this old woman is wearing, a linen dress, and a poor face. What delicious food can she sell? I guess she is just trying to scare people."

"That's right. Although the meat is delicious, it shouldn't be overpriced. I just saw that twenty cents is just a small piece. It's really not worth it. It's too expensive. Do you really think you are the Fulai Restaurant and charge an exorbitant price?"

"Haha, this little shop can't compare to Fu Lai Restaurant. A meat dish at Fu Lai Restaurant costs at least two taels of silver."

"Oh, if I could have a meal at Dunford Restaurant in my lifetime, I would die without regrets."

"......"

The crowd at the door chatted and talked about the restaurant.

They belittled the Jiang family's shop while praising the Fulai Restaurant.

Zhang Jinlan was furious.

"You bunch of idiots, I opened a shop and I didn't offend anyone. You all come to my shop and make a fuss. Can't you afford to live? It's fine if you don't want to buy, but you are still talking nonsense. When did I ever hire someone to perform? You think the sausage of twenty cents is too expensive, but why don't you say the meat and vegetables sold for two taels of silver in other restaurants are expensive?

I think you are here to cause trouble on purpose, you! I remember you, aren't you the owner of the pastry shop at the end of the street? So, how does my running my pastry shop bother you? If you cause trouble again, I will hang myself outside your shop with my whole family, and then we'll see who dares to buy pastries from your shop in the future."

Zhang Jinlan lived for almost half her life.

I've seen everything.

That’s what she said.

I'm just selling food, why are there so many people gathered at the door?

You just looked at it without buying it, and you are finding fault with it.

And there are more and more people.

You've been selling food all this time!

They are all dressed up like ordinary people, and they even think twenty cents is expensive.

Looking closely, I saw several familiar faces in the crowd.

Some run pastry shops, some run pancake shops, and all of them do business in this food street.

They are all rivals.

Humph, you dare to play tricks on her.

Next life.

Zhang Jinlan put her hands on her hips.

Standing at the door, firing on all cylinders.

Jiang Dahe and Jiang Eryong also walked to the door.

They were afraid of trouble outside, so they stood on Zhang Jinlan's left and right to prevent a sudden fight so that they could protect their mother from getting hurt.

"You have misunderstood. I don't know this shopkeeper. And this grilled sausage is really delicious. Don't talk nonsense. You haven't even tried it, but you are slandering it. It's really embarrassing for us masters."

The fat man spoke for Jiang's Snack Shop.

His family has no shortage of money.

My only hobby is eating.

If the shop is closed by these people, where will he eat grilled sausage in the future?

"Hmph, what a lousy grilled sausage, I've never heard of it, I won't eat it, whoever wants to eat it can eat it, let's go, let's go."

What men love most is face.

Being exposed by Zhang Jinlan on the spot, he made up an excuse and fled.

Most of the crowd dispersed at once.

There were only seven or eight people left standing at the door of the shop watching.

They were attracted by the smell of grilled sausages and were very greedy.

But I also felt that the price was too high. If I bought it and found that it didn’t taste good, I would suffer a huge loss.

After all, five cents can buy a big meat bun.

You can buy four sausages for one.

So they stood at the door, hesitating.

I was thinking about buying one to try its flavor.

"Grandma, I want to eat this grilled sausage. It smells so good. Buy it for me quickly."

Before they could think clearly, a boy who looked about five or six years old came into the shop holding the hand of an old woman, asking for grilled sausages.

"Shopkeeper, can you give my grandson one? Twenty cents, right? Here you go."

The grandson's request must be met.

The old woman took out twenty copper coins from her purse and put them in Zhang Jinlan's hand.

Urging her to put the grilled sausages on skewer.

"Okay, I'll make it for you. Your grandson knows how to eat it. Those old men can't afford to live anymore, so they come to me to make trouble. Who wouldn't say my grilled sausages are good after eating them? Eryong, are you ready to make ten grilled sausages? Yamato, string some grilled sausages for this kid, pick the biggest ones!"

In fact, all grilled sausages are the same size.

But adding this sentence can make the guests happy.

Why not?

The two brothers heard this without any rebuttal and nodded repeatedly.

"Come on, remember to blow on it before you eat it. It's freshly baked and still hot. Don't burn your mouth. Look, this little boy is so handsome. You are so lucky. I think your grandson will be able to study. He may even bring you an imperial decree when he grows up."

Take the grilled sausage from the eldest son.

Zhang Jinlan handed it to the boy.

Don't forget to remind him not to get burned.

The cloth worn by the grandfather and grandson was all made of satin.

It looks smooth and shiny, and is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

Zhang Jinlan began to flatter the old woman.

Just coax her.

Maybe you'll become a regular customer of the shop.

"Haha, it's just as you said. My family has hired a teacher to teach my grandson. Seeing that he is tired from studying, I thought of taking him out for a walk. Okay, grandson, we should go back, otherwise your mother will be worried."

Who doesn't like to be praised?

The old woman's mouth was almost crooked from smiling.

"Grandma, this grilled sausage is delicious. Please buy me a few more so I can bring them back for my sisters."

While they were chatting, the boy had already eaten only half of the sausage.

He looked at the few remaining sausages on the bamboo skewer and his eyes rolled.

He stood there and refused to move.

"You kid, a grilled sausage costs twenty cents. How can your sisters eat it? I think you want to eat it yourself, so you use your sisters as an excuse. Okay, grandma will buy you another one and you can keep it for yourself."
