After hearing Chen Wang's words, the group of customers looked at each other with complicated expressions.
The price is three yuan per pound, and it doesn’t fill you up, so it’s definitely not cost-effective for most people.
But the food is really delicious!
Especially at this time when there is a lack of oil and salt and dishes are very light, the taste just now made them feel what real food is.
"Boss, give me two pounds."
Someone suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.
It was none other than the woman who first tasted crayfish and was also a regular customer who had bought fish and meat from Chen Wang’s stall several times.
"Okay, thank you for helping me open the store. Five dollars for two kilograms is fine."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"Very good!"
The woman was also very happy and readily took out five dollars and handed it to him.
Chen Wang took the money, looked at the woman and asked, "Do you want to take the food away or eat here? If you want to take the food away, you have to wait a moment. My companion is going to buy the foam lunch box and will be back soon."
"It's okay, I brought my own basin."
The woman smiled, then took out an enamel basin from the basket in her hand and handed it to him.
"Here, help me put it in here."
Plastic bags were not yet popular in those days, and many people would carry baskets and bowls with them when they came to the market to buy things.
"Okay!"
Chen Wang took the enamel basin and weighed it first.
"What flavor do you want?"
"One pound of each, okay?"
"Of course, but since you only have this basin, you can only put them together."
"It's okay, it's okay, just put it together!"
"good!"
Chen Wang responded, took the long-handled soup spoon he brought with him, and scooped about one pound of lobster from each bucket into the enamel basin according to his feeling, and weighed it again.
"Sister, the lobster weighs two pounds and two ounces in total. I'll give you two pounds. Take a look."
"It's okay. We are old customers. I trust you."
"Thank you. I'll make you some more soup. Which one do you want?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
“This one is braised in oil.”
The woman pointed to the bucket on the left.
"You have a good eye. After you take it back and eat the lobster, you can also use this soup to cook noodles. It's also delicious."
Chen Wang scooped two spoonfuls of soup into the basin and made a suggestion.
The woman's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely try it then. It looks like it will be delicious."
"Of course you must. Take it."
Chen Wang handed the enamel basin to the woman.
The woman took it with both hands, feeling the heavy weight in her hands, and inexplicably felt that it was not a loss.
"Thank you. I'm leaving now."
“Go slowly!”
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
After the woman left, many customers became restless.
"Boss, if I want two kilograms, can you give me one yuan off?"
"That won't work. He was an old customer and the first one to take care of my business, so I gave him a discount."
"No way, that's impossible. Give me a discount and I'll come back to take care of your business next time."
"Feel sorry."
Chen Wang smiled apologetically.
“Tsk!”
The male customer smacked his tongue with dissatisfaction and said in a depressed tone, "Give me a pound, I want this braised one."
"OK."
Chen Wang nodded with a bright smile.
Even though this customer looked unhappy and had a bad attitude, as long as they bought his things, he would be his god.
“Are you eating here?”
"Well, let's eat here, hurry up."
"good!"
Chen Wang responded, took the enamel jar he had brought with him, and filled it up.
I weighed it and it was almost exactly one pound.
After Chen Wang took the three dollars, he handed over the enamel pot.
"If you're going to eat here, don't take this away."
"Know."
The male customer took it impatiently, then stepped aside and squatted, put the enamel jar on the ground, picked up one and started peeling it.
He just tried a garlic one and felt that he was still not satisfied.
But he usually likes spicy food, and feels that this braised one will taste better.
He was indeed a good eater. After peeling the shrimp meat, he paused for a moment, as if he thought of something. He dipped the shrimp meat in the oil soup in the jar and then put it into his mouth.
As he chewed the chewy shrimp meat gently, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly picked up another one and started peeling it.
The other customers looked at this scene, their mouths drooling wildly, and they were extremely greedy.
As a result, several customers couldn't help but speak up.
"Forget it, it's a little expensive, just consider it as losing a game of cards, Boss, give me two kilograms, both flavors."
"Boss, I want a pound of minced garlic. I'll give you the money."
"I want two kilograms too. I want it braised in oil. Give me more soup. I'll pack it up."
"I can't stand it anymore. I want three pounds, two pounds braised in oil and one pound of minced garlic."
“…”
Just at this time, Chen Dazhuang came back with a stack of foam lunch boxes.
"Okay, okay, come one by one. We have everything. Don't worry."
Chen Wang smiled happily and comforted the customers.
“So many people?”
Chen Dazhuang said with a surprised look on his face and put the foam lunch box aside.
"No way, our food has to be delicious!"
Chen Wang grinned and said, "Brother Zhuang, hurry up, help you and give me a lunch box."
"Um!"
The two of them began to work happily.
Ordinary people like to follow the crowd.
The situation here soon attracted more customers.
