I Am A Gourmet: Just Eight And You Want Me To Start A Roadside Stall? Chapter 79 - I Cant Sell Anymore If Its Finished
Chapter 79: I Can’t Sell Anymore If It’s Finished
“This is too delicious!”
“There’s always the sll of preservatives in the oden sold at supermarket. So of them are even kept for months. It doesn’t look safe so I don’t dare to buy them for my child.”
“Little kid, how much are you selling it for?”
“One card for each portion, and there are so braised ones. Do you want to try them?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The parents looked pleasantly surprised as if they had found a treasure. After tasting a few more, they pulled their children towards Xu Le’s food stall and said, “Give two portions!”
“Mom, didn’t you agree to buy instant noodles?”
Usually, at ho, parents would more or less forbid their child from eating such junk food, afraid that there would be additives or preservatives, and eating too much of them would be bad for their developnt. So that day, a stall that was selling instant noodles actually had a long queue.
“Wait a minute. There aren’t many chicken feet. Let’s buy so first before queuing up there. Otherwise, they will be sold out.”
As the parent comforted the child, he took out a card and said, “Give a serving of both sour and spicy, and braised flavoured one.”
“Alright!”
Xu Le quickly packed two portions and handed them over. He even gave them two pairs of disposable gloves. “Take good care. If it’s delicious, rember to help promote it.”
The few people who had tried the dish earlier all bought chicken feet, but there were still no one who had bought oden.
On the other side, Xu Tian found a classmate she knew and stuffed a atball into her mouth. “This is delicious. Try it.”
It was Lu Yuxi’s first ti seeing Xu Tian being so domineering. She explained happily, “It’s not spicy and the soup base is very delicious.”
However, when the parent beside saw the food, she started to frown and said in disdain, “It’s all starchballs bought from the supermarket. I saw on the internet that many at is made of rat at. It’s especially unclean…”
“Look at these beef balls.” Lu Yuxi anxiously tried to explain. “They were all made with a at grinder this morning. If you don’t believe , try one. How can the atballs bought by the supermarket compare to the ones we had freshly made?”
The parent realized that she had gone overboard with her words, so she tried a beef ball.
When Xu Le was making the beef balls, he did not grind all the at into minced at. Instead, he chopped half of the at into minced at. This way, the texture was full and one could clearly taste the tender beef cubes inside.
As soon as they bit into it, the oil and soup flowed out, and the skipjack tuna soup base completely blended into the beef balls. It was fresh, tender, and smooth, and even more delicious than the taste at the convenience store.
The parent subconsciously wanted to take the cup and take a sip of the soup, but she only reacted to it as she extended her hand halfway. She awkwardly stopped in mid-air and said gently, “I was being rash just now. Can I ask where you bought this thing from?”
Lu Yuxi pointed in the direction. “The oden stall over there.”
Soon, there were consecutively a few people who went over to buy the food because of the good taste. However, they could not continue like this. Xu Le’s business had always been smooth-sailing and praised. That day was the first ti that they had been rejected.
Lu Yuxi returned to the stall and put her hands on her hips. “They don’t know what’s good. Hmph!”
“I think there must be another reason why I can’t sell them.” Xu Le said after a while, “Did they think that I bought these pre-processed pills?”
“…Maybe.”
When Xu Tian saw that the business was not getting better, she could not help but feel dejected. Her head was lowered when heard two loud noises.
“Hey, hey, hey!”
Lu Yuxi had borrowed a loudspeaker from sowhere and was adjusting the volu. The loud and piercing sound made a group of people look over at them.
She didn’t feel embarrassed at all as she said loudly, “Fresh beefballs, fishballs, shrimp paste, corn and carrots freshly handmade, soup base made from kelp and skipjack tuna. Drink it to warm your stomach. It’s clean, hygienic, and healthy. Don’t miss it when you pass by. Co and take a look and have a taste! You can try it for free!”
The parents subconsciously were more willing to let their children eat healthy food, so Lu Yuxi’s words undoubtedly tugged at their soft spots. Very soon, a few people ca over to taste it.
The atballs were made by hand and of superior quality. The taste of the fresh atballs was much better than the finished ones. One could tell the difference just by tasting them.
“Give one serving.”
“ too!”
“I want three.”
“Here you go. Take the card.”
The stall beca lively very quickly. Lu Yuxi ca over to help in high spirits and did not forget to take credit. “See how aweso I am? I managed to get so many people here at once. Boss, don’t forget to give a raise!”
Xu Le said jokingly, “You really can’t leave out a pay raise in every sentence that you say.”
“Hmph, stingy Xu, you cheated ignorant girls and exploited of my labor.”
Lu Yuxi pouted.
Xu Le did not back down either. He glanced at her and said, “You’re already so old, yet you still claim to be an ignorant girl…”
After all, using his own age as basis, Lu Yuxi was already in his early twenties and was more than ten years older than him. Of course, she could be considered “old”.
“Is this how you talk about girls?”
Lu Yuxi rolled her eyes. They almost got into a fight after sending the custors away. Xu Tian, who was stuck between them, asked blankly, “Brother, what are you guys doing?”
“You do the publicity.” Lu Yuxi pushed the loudspeaker in front of Xu Le and turned on the volu key.
Xu Le was about to speak when he suddenly couldn’t hold back his laughter and dodged to the side.
Of course, he could shout, but it was too shaful to shout at so many people with a loudspeaker.
Lu Yuxi didn’t think much of it and continued to promote. “Handmade atballs, Japanese oden, warm your stomach and a healthy al…”
Xu Le lowered his head to sell the oden. From ti to ti, he would look up at Lu Yuxi. Suddenly, he felt that Lu Yuxi was different from what he had imagined. She was cold in front of outsiders, but in front of people she knew, she was indescribably cute. Even if she would occasionally say so overboard words, others would not be offended because of her sincerity.
Very soon, the people who tasted the oden could not wait but comnt, “This soup is so delicious. What did you add in it?”
“It tastes a little like the one from the convenience store, but it’s a hundred tis better than that. There’s really prawn at in this prawn ball. It’s so affordable.”
“The white radish is definitely the best choice!”
The radish was the first to put at the bottom of the soup to cook. After boiling, it continued to be soaked in it, eventually turning into a light brown color. After absorbing the soup, the radish beca soft and flavorful, and lted in the mouth.
Hearing their great praises, Lu Yuxi picked up a piece of carrot and tasted it. She imdiately squinted her eyes and said, “This is too satisfying!”
After two minutes, she had already finished two pieces. When she picked up the third one, Xu Le reminded her, “This is the last one. I’ve only prepared these. I won’t be able to sell them if you finish them.”
“Petty.”
Lu Yuxi took a big bite and the soup lted in her mouth, completely covering up the spiciness of the radish and leaving only its freshness.
“It’s not that I don’t want you to eat. It’s just that if you eat too much radish, your stomach will feel bloated and uncomfortable..”
