"Oh shit!
Seeing that both his front and back were blocked, and he had nowhere to escape, Lin Sen, with a sudden sharpness in his eyes, could only pick up a brick from the ground, ready to fight to the death!
Although Lin Sen had practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) in his previous life, he was confident he could take on three people at once. But now, he was facing more than a dozen opponents.
Lin Sen had no choice but to resort to desperate and foolish tactics.
They wanted to scare the group away in this way.
Lin Sen refused to believe that these people would be so reckless as to risk their lives and have the guts to trade one for one with him!
"Hey bro, you're smoking."
However, as the group approached Lin Sen, something astonishing happened.
The fat man at the head of the group not only didn't lay a hand on Lin Sen, but was actually quite polite to him.
He handed Lin Sen a cigarette directly!
What do you mean?
Lin Sen was stunned when he glanced at the cigarette the fat man offered him.
I thought to myself, is this fat guy trying to be polite first and then resort to force?
Are city dwellers all this particular?
"Brother, you've misunderstood. We didn't mean to rob you."
Looking at the brick in Lin Sen's hand, the fat man gave a wry smile and quickly shrugged and spread his hands to indicate that he really had no ill intentions towards Lin Sen.
"Sizzle!"
Then, he even lit Lin Sen's cigarette himself by flicking the match.
"Then why did you block my way?"
After a moment's thought, Lin Sen threw away the brick and took a drag of his cigarette.
Anyway, if it really came down to a fight, he definitely wouldn't be able to beat this group.
Since that's the case, Lin Sen will listen and see what they really intend to do!
"Brother, your spicy crayfish are selling really well today."
"I heard that your ancestors worked in the imperial kitchen of the palace, and you have a secret family recipe that you used to serve Emperor Qianlong."
The fat man stared intently at Lin Sen: "We brothers are all cooks."
"I want to learn this secret technique from you."
“I know what we’re doing is really inappropriate. After all, this secret technique is passed down from our ancestors, and if we learn it, we’re taking away your livelihood.”
"But don't worry, brother, after we learn this secret technique, we definitely won't set up a stall in Linhai County and won't steal your business. Also, we brothers won't have learned it for nothing."
The fat man rubbed his hands together and pulled out ten yuan from his pocket: "We'll give you your tuition!"
"oh."
So that's what you guys are after!
Upon hearing the fat man's words, Lin Sen suddenly realized what was going on.
"Here's your tuition fee."
"Please teach us!"
Please!
The other dozen or so cooks also took out their money and eagerly handed it to Lin Sen.
I want to learn how to make spicy crayfish from Lin Sen!
They had all witnessed the bustling activity at Lin Sen's stall today.
Such a profitable business with so little initial investment—of course they all want to do it!
"Calm down, let me think about it."
Lin Sen glanced at the group of chefs, his mind racing as he pondered for a moment.
If he refuses to teach now, he can just leave.
These people probably wouldn't dare to do anything to him right now.
However, there's no guarantee that some greedy bastard won't secretly stab him in the back someday.
Furthermore, Lin Sen didn't intend to eat spicy crayfish for the rest of his life.
After all, this was 1984. Although spicy crayfish did have a certain market, the market was not very large.
Furthermore, there are actually no technical barriers to making spicy crayfish.
A clever cook only needs to buy a portion from Lin Sen and then try to imitate it a few times to make a similar spicy crayfish dish.
It won't taste much worse than what Lin Sen makes.
After all, the secret to making spicy crayfish is to add more chili peppers and more Sichuan peppercorns!
"In that case, I can teach you!"
Lin Sen, his eyes darting around, immediately had an idea after thinking of the famous "Thirteen Spices for Crayfish" from later generations. He glanced at the group of chefs and said, "And I'll teach you for free!"
"ah?"
"This, this?"
"Brother, what's going on?"
Upon hearing Lin Sen's words, the group of chefs were completely stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief.
Completely bewildered and astonished by Lin Sen's words.
Because they all originally thought that Lin Sen had no intention of teaching them.
After all, this is a family heirloom, a secret palace method for making big money.
If they were Lin Sen, they certainly wouldn't teach this secret technique to others!
"Listen to me."
Under the suspicious gazes of the chefs, Lin Sen gestured with his hand: "I can teach you how to make spicy crayfish, spicy crabs, and fried yellow croaker for free."
"But to make spicy crayfish and spicy crab, you need a secret Chinese herbal seasoning, which I call the Thirteen Spices for Crayfish."
"This seasoning recipe is a family heirloom."
Since these chefs had heard rumors from someone that Lin Sen's cooking skills were a secret recipe passed down from the imperial kitchen, Lin Sen, feigning ignorance, said, "I cannot pass on the recipe for these seasonings to you, otherwise I would be letting down my ancestors!"
"If you don't teach us the secret recipe, how are we supposed to do it?"
One of the chefs asked eagerly, "Shrimp can be found everywhere, but this is the secret recipe. If we don't add it, the shrimp we make definitely won't taste good, right?"
"Don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Lin Sen immediately smiled: "Although I cannot pass on this secret recipe to you, I can sell you the prepared recipe in a package."
"In the future, when you make and sell spicy crayfish and spicy baby crabs, you can put a small bag of secret ingredients in each pot."
