Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The fragrance was appetizing, and everyone felt like eating again when they smelled it. The waiter explained, “My boss is making a new dish.”
“l thought so! I wondered what smelled so good. Can we try the new dish? I wonder how much it’ll cost.’
“Don’t worry about the price and order it. If you wait until later, you might not be able to try it.”
“That’s right. The shop owner has never asked for high prices. His kebabs are so delicious yet so cheap. He also serves wine at a fair price.”
Everyone thought the wine was cheaper than they had expected. Typically, the locals would sell wine for several times the price of the Su family’s wine. Even so, the local wine could not compare to the Su family’s.
The waiter said, ‘You guys know the restaurant rules, right? Everyone will get a half-price discount for the first three days whenever we release a new dish.
Of course, our prices will be reasonable.”
“We trust you, especially since we’ve been here so many times.”
Everyone chatted and laughed together, creating a lively atmosphere. The customers were eager to try the new dish.
Meanwhile, Su Wenwu watched, learned, and helped his sister cook the crabs and crayfish. He smelled the fragrance as he cooked, and his stomach started to growl. “It smells so good, Sister.”
He gulped as he spoke, thinking the dish would taste excellent. At that moment, he felt like he could eat several servings at once.
Su Binglan noticed her brother’s excited expression and thought of the time he was back home. She said, “Remember these steps well, Wenwu.”
“l will, Sister.” Su Wenwu nodded thoughtfully. He had learned to cook from his sister and had trained his mind to retain as much information as possible. Hence, he could remember every detail as he helped out.
After cooking the crabs, Su binglan scooped them out of the pot. Su Wenwu asked, “Can we try them now? Just looking at the color makes me hungry.”
Su Binglan smiled. “Yeah, you can eat now.”
Su Wenwu motioned to grab a piece when Su Binglan said, “Careful, okay.
They’re still very hot.”
“l can’t wait to try these. I think 1 can stand the heat,” Su Wenwu said, “Remember when 1 helped you at home all those times? I try the dishes even though they’re still hot.”
Su Binglan picked up a pair of gloves and wore them before picking up a crab and opening its shell. “Here, this is how you open the crab. The yellow parts are the meat, which is the best-tasting part.”
She scooped out the meat and fed it to her brother. Su Wenwu was amazed when he tasted the meat. “Wow, it’s so tasty!’
At that moment, he did not care how hot the food was and started eating more. Su Binglan smiled when she saw how much her brother liked the food.
Although the Su brothers were older than Su Binglan, she had grown accustomed to spoiling her brothers. She was happy whenever she saw her brothers enjoying her food.
Su Wenwu could not stop praising the food as he ate, “l never imagined crabs tasting so good. The crabs are big and have plenty of meat inside. These are so satisfying to eat. No wonder you suggested I sell these things. I already know the customers will love these.’
He finally understood why his sister asked him to open a barbecue restaurant in the south. She even told him that she would add several dishes to the menu. Su Wenwu had suspected the new dishes would include crabs and crayfish.
“Indeed, it’s satisfying to eat,” Su Binglan said before asking her husband to try some, She then moved on to cooking spicy crayfish.
Su Wenwu continued to eat the crabs while watching his sister cook spicy crayfish. He knew it would be just as delicious as the crab dish.
Since there were many ingredients, Su Binglan made a big serving, so there would be plenty. While she was busy in the kitchen, the customers outside were lively. They kept guessing what the fresh ingredients were.
Soon after, Su Wenwu heard the commotion outside.
The waiter entered the kitchen and told Su Wenwu, “Boss, the customers are curious about what you’re making. They can’t wait to try the new dishes. The fragrance is making them hungry.”
Even the waiter thought the fragrance was delicious, let alone the customers. The smell differed from the fragrance of barbecued skewers and stir-fried vegetables.
Su Wenwu knew how tempting the fragrance was as he ate half a crab and was almost full. He asked, “Sister, how much should we charge for the spicy crabs?”
Su Binglan said, “You can sell the bigger ones separately and the smaller ones according to the set meals. You can set the prices since you know the southern market better.’
Su Wenwu quickly wrote down the prices on the menu and told the waiter, “Take this out and see who wants to order the new dish. Tell them about the discount we’re offering for the first three days, too.”
The waiter hurried outside to explain the situation to the customers. When they heard how cheap the dishes were, they quickly ordered some for themselves.
Su Wenwu sold all the crabs in just a short while. He then taught the waiters how to eat the crabs, and the waiters went to teach the customers how to do it.
The customers were thrilled when they started eating the spicy crabs.
“This is too delicious and satisfying!’
“Although it’s a little spicy, the fragrance is enticing.”
Everyone was full of praise as they ate. Even if some of them could not eat spicy food, they endured it because of how good it tasted. Those who did not manage to order in time were regretful.
They could tell how tasty the crabs were just by looking at everyone’s delighted expressions.
Su Wenwu was not surprised when the waiter told him about the customers’ reactions. He had just learned how to cook it from his sister and realized how many ingredients she used. He also made a serving himself to serve to the customers.
Soon, every customer was able to taste the dish, even those who were too late to order. However, the waiter said, “Boss, the customers want to buy more for their families at home.’
Su Wenwu was shocked. “Since there’s a discount on the first three days, the customers can’t order out. They can only eat it here. Also, we should only serve one plate per customer so that others can try it.”
He wanted everyone to have a taste, and it seemed he needed to hire more workers to gather crabs and crayfish for him to cook. Nonetheless, he had already bought the lake, and only he could harvest what was in it..
