With the help of Sun Yongxing and his wife, the owners of the food stall, Feng Haidong's stall was quickly set up.
Feng Haidong removed the mesh cover from the crayfish tray, then lit the stove and turned the flame to its lowest setting to heat the crayfish in the tray.
Su Xin first stood not far away and observed for a while.
After Feng Haidong set up his stall, he took out bottles of beer from the cabinet under the cart and placed them on the cart as well.
From Su Xin's position, one could easily see rows of neatly arranged bright red crayfish.
In addition, there were fried golden and red shrimp tails on a tray next to it, and bottles of beer on a cart.
Feng Haidong's stall really does look quite impressive.
Out of curiosity, Su Xin went to Feng Haidong's side in the cart and said, "Brother Haidong, I don't want to go home right now anyway, let me help you?"
At this moment, the owners of the food stall looked at Su Xin and immediately recognized her as the wife who had come with Feng Haidong and their son that night.
This surprised the owners, who were also quite puzzled.
Why would Feng Haidong, a street vendor, hire a young woman?
Could there be something going on between these two?
Should we tell Feng Haidong's wife about this?
When Feng Haidong saw that Su Xin wanted to help, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "You don't need to help. You don't know how to do business. Go home early and don't let your parents worry."
It would have been better if Feng Haidong hadn't said anything, because his words only made Su Xin angrier.
"No, I want to help."
Feng Haidong was also somewhat helpless. He turned his head and saw that the couple who owned the food stall were looking at him with strange eyes. He quickly explained, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't misunderstand. This is my sister. She ran away from home after arguing with her parents. We just happened to run into her on the road."
Hearing Feng Haidong say this, the boss and his wife didn't say much, they just smiled.
Not long after Feng Haidong set up his cart, it quickly attracted a crowd of people.
Su Xin originally wanted to help, but she was startled when a lot of people suddenly surrounded her, and she stood there speechless for a long time.
Feng Haidong greeted the people who gathered around with a smile, saying, "Good evening, everyone. Would you like to buy some crayfish to try? They're all freshly made tonight and thoroughly cleaned. Give them a try!"
It must be said that the way Feng Haidong neatly arranged the crayfish one by one, combined with their bright red color after cooking, was indeed very tempting.
Standing in the crowd in front of the cart, someone quickly asked, "How much are your crayfish?"
Feng Haidong smiled and replied, "Whole shrimp here are 5 for 1 yuan, and salt and pepper shrimp tails here come with a small portion free when you buy beer."
Hearing such a price immediately surprised everyone gathered around the cart.
"Seriously? That's way too expensive! Five for one yuan? How much do crayfish cost per pound at the market?"
"That's right, it's only about 1 yuan per pound at the market, isn't it?"
"Yeah, even if your shrimp are big, five of them probably don't even weigh a pound, right?"
"Do you even know how to do business? Your price is too high."
Faced with the accusations from the onlookers, Su Xin stood aside, not daring to say a word. In her heart, Su Xin also felt that Feng Haidong's price of 5 shrimp for one yuan was indeed a bit expensive.
Faced with everyone's accusations, Feng Haidong remained calm and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. If you buy it for one yuan a pound at the market, do you still have to cook it yourself? I've already prepared it all."
The oil and seasonings I use to cook these shrimp, plus the liquefied gas heating up here—all of these contribute to the cost.
At this point, Feng Haidong continued, "And I guarantee that what I make will taste absolutely delicious."
At this moment, a middle-aged man asked, "You said it's delicious, so can I try some?"
Feng Haidong smiled and asked in return, "Brother, are you buying it?"
The middle-aged man said, "How am I supposed to know if it's good or not if you don't let me taste it? Why would I buy it if it's not good?"
The middle-aged man's words naturally won the approval of everyone present.
Even Su Xin, who was standing next to Feng Haidong, agreed.
But Feng Haidong said, "Brother, that's not how it works. If you eat it and then deliberately say it's not good, wouldn't you be eating my shrimp for nothing? If everyone tried before buying like you, then this plate of shrimp of mine would probably be eaten up by everyone for free very soon."
After hearing Feng Haidong's words, everyone present immediately felt that what he said made sense.
The middle-aged man remained defiant: "If you won't let us try it, and you only say it's delicious, how can we know? Then I have no choice but to not buy it."
Feng Haidong smiled slightly and asked the man at the food stall next to him, "Brother, do you have steamed buns?"
Hearing this, the food stall owners were both quite surprised.
The proprietress quickly replied, "Oh, steamed buns? Yes, I bought four tonight."
Feng Haidong then said to the shop owner, "Brother Sun, could you please cut me a few strips of steamed bun? I'll pay you for them later."
Sun Yongxing, the owner of the food stall, said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite? How much is a steamed bun worth?"
As he spoke, Sun Yongxing asked his wife to take out a steamed bun and cut it into thin strips as Feng Haidong had requested.
Feng Haidong took a small plate of steamed bun strips from the food stall owner, picked one up, and dipped it in the broth behind the crayfish tray.
Then he handed the steamed bun strips dipped in the soup to the middle-aged man.
"Brother, try this and see if it tastes good. If you don't like it, you can just turn around and leave."
The middle-aged man looked at the steamed bun strips soaked in soup, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and took the strips.
