Qian Lizhen exclaimed "Ah!" and asked dumbfounded, "How long will it take to try?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized it was inappropriate and quickly shut her mouth.
This method may be idiotic and rigid, but it's the only one they can use.
No matter how skilled He Jing is, there are only a few kinds of spices. As long as they have enough patience, they will definitely be able to crack this recipe.
So the two of them immediately went to the spice wholesale market and bought more than a dozen kinds of spices, making sure to buy enough of each kind by weight.
Back home, they closed the door and started working on it. They even called Zhu Qian and Zhu Rui to join them. They weighed and stirred the ingredients, and the four of them worked together in close proximity. They actually managed to create a dipping sauce that tasted almost exactly like the one He Jing smelled.
Zhu Qian exclaimed with joy, "It's a success!"
Zhu Rui stared at the spices and clapped his hands happily: "Roast meat, roast meat, roast meat!"
Qian Lizhen wiped the sweat from her forehead, a little smug: "I knew it, we could succeed even without He Jing."
Zhu Qiang took out He Jing's dipping sauce, which had been sitting for several days and was almost spoiled, and compared it with the other sauces. He then said in a serious tone, "Although there are slight differences, they are not significant. We can start now."
Qian Lizhen was overjoyed. They had been working tirelessly on this dipping sauce for the past few days, and their food stall hadn't been open for several days. Even when they were open, there were no customers, and they were just annoyed by Xiao Lin's stall. Now they could finally hold their heads high.
Zhu Qian wished she could call He Jing immediately and ask her to come to the Zhu family so they could slap her in the face. But when she thought about how poor He Jing was, she said happily, "Mom, I want to get double eyelid surgery next month."
Qian Lizhen frowned: "Didn't you just have surgery a few months ago?"
Zhu Qian said coquettishly, "The previous one wasn't cut properly, so I want to get it cut again."
Qian Lizhen thought about it and readily agreed. Anyway, once they regained the business, they wouldn't be short of a few dollars.
That evening, Zhu's snack stall reopened, and Zhu Qian went over to help, wiping the tables until they shone.
There were still two customers at Chen's BBQ across the street, eating BBQ and drinking beer. The owner of Chen's seemed to be in a good mood, but when he saw Zhu Qiang and his group, he immediately became annoyed.
But when he thought about how Zhu's snack stall had been closed for several days, and how all the customers at Xiao Lin's food stall had flocked to his stall because it was too popular, he became much happier. He had made quite a bit of money these past few days.
Those idiots in the Zhu family couldn't withstand the blow and quit, causing all of the Zhu family's old customers to become his repeat customers. Now, the Zhu family's business is the worst among the three.
Zhu Qiang, of course, noticed the look in Chen Ji's eyes. He snorted and said, "You won't even have time to cry later."
Qian Lizhen chimed in, "Exactly, she's just someone who follows Xiaolin around trying to get something for nothing."
Zhu Qian said, "Mom, stop talking nonsense and let's open for business."
She couldn't wait to see all the customers at Xiaolin's food stall rush back. She even turned on her phone's video recorder, just waiting to record it and then tease He Jing about it later.
Zhu Qian's reminder prompted the Zhu couple to open for business immediately. They used their newly developed dipping sauce and poured hot oil over it, but—
A second passed.
No customers came to Xiaolin's food stall.
Two seconds passed.
No customers have come to Xiaolin's food stall yet.
Three seconds have passed...
Qian Lizhen's expression changed: "What's going on!"
Zhu Qiang was also panicking, but he tried to remain calm: "Don't panic, the aroma just hasn't spread yet."
