Chapter 124: Long Queue at Naihe Bridge
No matter how expensive it is, there is no other place selling malatang in the entire Huangquan Street.
Moreover, the marinade packets and broth provided by the system are worthy of her trust. She couldn't help but taste a meatball just now, and it was still delicious!
Shanna took out the bowls and chopsticks from the blue prop box and asked with her head tilted, "Can you eat spicy food, sister?"
"Is everything ready? What a strange smell..." Meng Po held her chin with one hand, looking a little expectant.
Shannai nodded, picked out a few dishes that she thought girls would like most, poured spicy soup on them, and placed a bowl of spicy hot pot with her paws on Mengpo's table.
"Sister, try it and see if it tastes good." Shannai blinked her big round eyes and swung her tail casually from side to side.
Shannai has just studied the issue of material quantity.
For example, the bowls and chopsticks are refreshed immediately, but the ingredients have been used and have not been refreshed yet, and the prop treasure chest shows that the refresh conditions have not been met.
According to Shannai's analysis, this is probably related to how much is sold. Since it can be refreshed, let's ignore it for now. At least the ingredients given in the first wave are enough to cook this big pot.
A hint of surprise flashed across Meng Po's eyes. She had never seen such a strange bowl of food before.
Looking at Shannai's sincere face, Mengpo picked up a piece of potato chip with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, closed her eyes and chewed it slowly.
The rich and mellow broth was the base, and the spicy flavor was strong. Meng Po felt her tongue was on fire after taking a bite of the soft potato. "This taste... is so unique!"
Meng Po opened her eyes, took a breath, and couldn't help but pick up another sandwich fish ball.
"Hmm! Hmm~ delicious~ Our Juju is so amazing~" Meng Po's eyes widened slightly, and she swallowed the meatball with some big emotional fluctuations.
After receiving Mengpo's affirmation, Shannai breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. I was worried that the residents here wouldn't be used to the food." She thought to herself.
The mouth-watering aroma soon drifted on the wind, blowing along the Forgotten River towards Huangquan Street.
Of course, the first people to be attracted were the small vendors stationed by the bridge.
"Meng Po, what are you doing now? The smell is quite tempting." The old lady selling oil-paper umbrellas opposite sniffed and walked towards this side.
A long-haired ghost carrying a basket of tangerines passed by in the middle of the road and stopped. "Yes, this smell is really intoxicating!"
Meng Po took a sip of the soup from the bowl. "Huh, it really makes me feel good. Hiccup~ This is made by Juju. It's called...what's it called..."
"Malatang!" Shannai quickly added from the side.
"Yes, spicy hot pot. I can guarantee that you have never tried it. The taste is very special and delicious." Meng Po licked her lips and gave the highest praise.
When they heard Meng Po say that it was delicious, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva. However, the closer they got to the spicy hot pot cart, the more the aroma penetrated into their noses, making it impossible to resist.
"Juju, let my wife have a taste." The old lady selling umbrellas stared at the galangal.
Shannai almost couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, "Mother-in-law, you have to pay for it!"
It took her almost a whole day to make this pot of spicy hot pot. Is it easy?
She gave it to Meng Po to try because Shan Nai needed to set up a stall next to her Meng Po soup! And Meng Po was also very kind to her.
If others want to eat it, they must buy it!
"Juju is right. If you want to eat, you have to follow the rules. Here, it's my sister's~" Mengpo also spoke for Shannai and threw a moon-colored purse to Shannai.
Shannai caught the purse with his claws, and the coins inside made a rustling sound.
"No need to give...Sis, I'll just take it as a thank you for taking care of me."
"Why are you saying this? You make money with your own ability, so I should support you. I have to accept the first payment for opening a business." Meng Po looked at Shannai with a smile and spoke gently.
Shannai was very touched after hearing this. She didn't know whether it was a good arrangement of her identity or good luck that she met the beautiful and kind-hearted Sister Mengpo at the beginning. It was so heartwarming.
She wasn't a pushover. Since Mengpo insisted on paying, Shannai obediently opened her purse, took out a few 10-yuan coins, placed them in her paw, and said to Mengpo, "I'll take them, but as the first customer of Lucky Malatang, I still have to give you a discount."
After saying that, Shannai tied the purse and returned it to Meng Po.
Meng Po still had a smile on her face, her eyes as gentle as water. "Hmm, see, everyone, if you want to eat, hurry up and pay. It will be time to get off work soon. I'm afraid you won't be able to grab any."
When the hairy ghost heard this, he was the first to rush to the spicy hot pot cart and asked, "How much is it? Give me a bowl!"
No, this smell is too delicious, the glutton in its stomach is roaring.
"10 coins each, pick whatever you like." Shannai stretched out his claws and swept over all the ingredients.
She thought that each piece was cut quite big, and it must be worth it to be able to eat spicy hot pot in the underworld.
The hairy ghost hesitated for a few seconds, "Come, get me a bowl!"
"Okay." Shannai handed over the bowl, feeling happy.
The hairy ghost had a big appetite and picked up almost all the ingredients. He even took some of the green vegetables that he usually hated the most, filling a big bowl.
"A total of 390 coins~" Shanna shook his ears.
The corner of the long-haired ghost's mouth twitched, and he sighed inwardly, "How expensive!"
But he still fished out the purse in his pocket, took out the money and handed it over with gritted teeth, "Here!"
Shanna stretched out his cat paw to take the coin, and his tail stood up in joy.
The long-haired ghost held the bowl and looked at the rich ingredients, not knowing where to start.
It picked up a plump and elastic beef ball with chopsticks, licked it first, and the wonderful fragrance spread along its lips, making its eyes brighten, and it immediately took a big bite.
"Poof!"
The juice inside the meatballs exploded in my mouth.
"Hiss... hot, hot, hot~" The long-haired ghost's mouth was burned and he kept sucking, but he was reluctant to spit it out. He chewed it in big mouthfuls and swallowed it.
"What's that smell?" The old lady selling umbrellas licked her lips anxiously.
Uncle Yutou, who was selling Qiaotou Cake, also put down his stall and ran over to ask with saliva dripping from his mouth, "Tell me quickly, tell me, is it delicious?"
"It's so delicious!" After saying this, the long-haired ghost squatted aside holding the bowl of spicy hot pot and started to eat with hearty mouthfuls.
Another highly positive customer, Shannai felt even more confident. She cleared her throat and said, "Don't miss out on this delicious food! This spicy hot pot is super delicious. You'll definitely regret it if you haven't tried it..."
Seeing the long-haired ghost eating without even raising his head, the old lady selling umbrellas and the fish-head uncle selling bridge-head cakes couldn't help but take out their wallets.
Shannai's shouting was quite effective. The other ghosts and dead souls on the street stopped and curiously observed the spicy hot pot stall run by the orange cat.
More and more people gathered around, and the number of customers willing to eat also gradually increased.
From a distance, there was a long queue at the Naihe Bridge.
"Excuse me, how much is Mengpo soup?" A frail ghost slowly came to the Mengpo soup shop and asked.
Meng Po raised her eyelids and said, "100."
The ghost's face turned even paler after hearing the price. "I can't even lift it up in my next life. Hmm...it smells so good."
It saw a crowd of people surrounding the spicy hot pot stall next to it, and couldn't see what was being sold inside. It could only smell a very good fragrance.
It tastes like spicy hot pot, and the ghost squeezed in.
"Huh? It really is Malatang... How amazing! There's a place selling Malatang in the underworld..."
This whispered sigh did not escape Shannai's sensitive ears.
There was a ghost here who knew Malatang. Shannai looked around and found the ghost and asked, "Have you ever eaten Malatang before?"
