"No wonder you can make ordinary little shrimp taste so good."
"It seems they used a special, ancestral secret method!"
As soon as Lin Sen finished speaking, Feng Zhiqiang immediately shouted, "Give me two jin of each, four bottles of beer, three steamed buns, and a plate of pickled vegetables!"
"Okay."
"Sit in the back!"
Lin Sen immediately gestured for Feng Zhiqiang to proceed.
"Dad, Brother Da Niu."
Then Lin Sen gave Lin Jianguo and Li Daniu a wink.
"Um."
"OK."
Although Feng Zhiqiang was somewhat dissatisfied that the agreed-upon amount of one jin (500ml) and two bottles of beer had suddenly changed to two jin and four bottles, Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu still served him the food at Lin Sen's signal.
"Delicious, delicious."
"Spicy enough!"
"It smells delicious!"
"Gulp, gulp!"
At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Feng Zhiqiang was peeling shrimp, eating crabs, and gnawing on small yellow croakers while drinking beer and biting into steamed buns. He ate with gusto, his face flushed and covered in oil, looking quite delicious.
The sight made the onlookers constantly swallow their saliva.
"Everyone can try it."
"Buy it only if you think it tastes good!"
Seeing that the time was almost right, Lin Sen shouted loudly again.
"I'll try it!"
"Shall I try some?"
"Is it really that delicious?"
"It smells delicious!"
Seeing how much Feng Zhiqiang enjoyed his food, and knowing that he could sample it for free, several onlookers reached out to try it themselves.
"It really smells delicious!"
"It's both numbing and spicy, and tastes really good!"
"My goodness, I've caught plenty of small shrimp in the ditch, but why don't my cooked shrimp taste this good?"
"What you're saying is pure nonsense. They're using a family secret recipe, and they've used so many precious Chinese herbs and spices. If you cooked it yourself, you probably wouldn't even put in enough salt. How could it taste good?"
"Hehe, that's true!"
After the taste test, the onlookers were all talking about it, making audible noises as they ate, finding it very delicious.
"Just based on these Chinese herbal medicines and spices, I feel that selling it for 1.5 yuan per kilogram is not expensive."
"After all, these chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and Chinese herbal spices must be worth quite a bit of money, right?"
"Boss, give me a pound of spicy baby shrimp!"
"I want a pound of spicy baby crabs."
"I want a pound of small shrimp and a pound of small yellow croaker."
"Boss, are these steamed buns and pickled vegetables free?"
"Boss, I'll take one pound of each, to take home for my wife!"
After tasting the food and experiencing its benefits, the crowd of onlookers eagerly pulled out their money and made purchases.
"Free steamed buns, and three per person if you buy small shrimp."
"You can eat here or take it away."
"And beer, three cents a bottle."
"You can sit down to eat, or you can take it home."
"One by one, line up to buy!"
Seeing the crowd surrounding the stall, Lin Sen immediately laughed and waved to Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu.
He was in charge of preparing spicy crayfish and spicy crabs, weighing them, and collecting money.
Zhang Daniu was in charge of packing.
Lin Jianguo was in charge of cleaning the crayfish, small crabs, and yellow croakers, then he cleared the table and greeted everyone!
A short while later, near Lin Sen's stall.
Then a crowd gathered around, some squatting, some standing, some sitting, all eating noisily.
"Dad, I want to eat too."
"Daddy, I want to eat shrimp!"
"Mom, these little crabs and yellow croakers are so delicious! I want to eat them!"
Many children who love to join in the fun grabbed their parents' hands and stood on tiptoe to look at the bright red spicy crayfish, spicy crabs, and deep-fried golden-brown spicy yellow croakers in Lin Sen's big pot.
Mouthwatering!
These parents, however, might not be able to afford it themselves.
But after all, it was a temple fair, and there were so many people around, and the food looked so delicious. And the children were drooling and couldn't move, really wanting to eat too.
So they all took out their cloth bags and started buying things, one jin here, half a jin there.
"Everyone, one at a time."
"Don't rush, don't cut in line."
"A new batch, coming out of the oven soon."
Looking around, he saw many ordinary people enjoying their meal.
And ordinary people queuing up to buy.
There are also ordinary people who, while passing by, see that the stalls are bustling with activity and can't resist coming over to take a look, and in the end, they can't resist buying a pound or two.
Lin Sen really laughed.
His tactic of using Feng Zhiqiang, a taste tester, to elicit further interest proved effective!
This trick was learned by Lin Sen and later generations of food review and tasting livestreamers.
In later generations, many businesses would spend money to offer free food and hire livestreamers to sample the food.
Because the videos they post can attract the attention of local residents, thereby boosting the store's reputation and attracting countless customers.
Then, as more livestreamers explored the restaurants and more people ate there, many passersby also became curious and came over to try them.
People have a herd mentality.
When passing by a store, people always think that since there are many people eating there, long queues, and good sales, it must be very delicious!
It's like two shops located next to each other, both selling the same grilled fish.
One restaurant requires queuing, while the other has no customers and no one eats there.
Everyone would definitely prefer to queue rather than choose a restaurant where no one is eating.
After all, everyone subconsciously felt that if no one in his family ate it, then it must taste bad!
