Free Web NovelChapter 50: Fifty Chapters: The Only Thing You Can’t Let Down is Good Food
"Chen’s Delicacies?" Cai Cai, in her super short skirt, stood at the entrance of Chen Ze’s barbecue stand with her live-streaming pole.
[Orange Cat: Order ten skewers for Cai Cai!]
[Cai Cai my wife: Donated a Rocket to Cai Cai, go enjoy some skewers~]
[I’m not a hater: Delicacies of the mountains and sea? That’s quite the claim. What exactly are you grilling?]
[Lolita Island: Maybe it’s grilled matsutake mushrooms and salmon lol2333]
As Cai Cai included Chen Ze’s barbecue stand in her live stream, the chat became even livelier, with a barrage of comments flashing by.
"Thank you, Cai Cai my wife, for the Rocket donation, but, dear viewers, this stand owner is quite the online celebrity in our Sun Moon City. The taste of his skewers is really beyond words." After thanking for the donation, Cai Cai defended Chen Ze, as she had previously tried Chen Ze’s storm barbecue.
[Riding the Wind: Now that I see this, I have to say something. His skewers really are beyond words. I went there after watching Cai Cai’s live stream and bought 300 RMB worth.]
Seeing someone else who had tried it, the doubters in the live stream became even more enthusiastic, spewing a frenzy of comments suggesting they were all shills.
[I’m really not a hater: Come on, how much did the stand owner pay you to speak for him?]
[Keychain: Heh, the host definitely got paid as well. All these internet-famous places are like this. I didn’t expect it to reach even a small barbecue stand.]
[Sleeping Dragon King: The world has gone downhill, nowadays only money talks.]
Cai Cai ignored these haters; she was in line, though the queue was excessively long.
"Dear viewers, you can see that I’m currently at the end of the line, and I had to walk quite a bit just to find the end," she showed the long line of people through the live stream.
"There’s also security personnel from the school maintaining order nearby. I’m a bit worried that there won’t be anything left to sell by the time it’s my turn." Cai Cai expressed her concern as the online celebrity barbecue stand, which hadn’t been operational for a while, saw its accumulated popularity explode at this moment.
Meanwhile, Chen Ze felt like he was going insane. He kept putting skewers on the grill and, once done, he would immediately pass them to Star to brush on the sauce. Despite this, people were still often waiting.
"Star, are you sure you’ve added the notice limiting purchases to 30 skewers per person?" Chen Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead. With the hot weather and the smoke from the charcoal, he felt like he was on the verge of heatstroke.
"I added it." Chen Xingchen had no desire to chat; she brushed the sauce with incredible speed and occasionally helped Chen Ze remove the grilled skewers.
"Boss, are my thirty skewers ready?" The brand-clothed beauty in front of him checked the watch on her wrist; she was getting impatient.
The truth was that Chen Ze wasn’t slow at grilling skewers; it was just that the expressions of other diners as they ate were so tempting that it even convinced many passersby, who hadn’t planned to queue up, to join in.
"Damn... What is this? Really delicacies of the mountains and sea!"
"Shut up, eat the skewers."
"I think all the top-grade seafood I’ve eaten before is trash in comparison; only the black truffles are still worth mentioning." A rich man wiped his mouth and took out another skewer of grilled squid from the paper bag in his hand, putting it in his mouth.
He took a big bite, and the first thing he experienced was the intense seafood flavor that immediately filled his taste buds, followed by a superb taste that fought with the seafood flavor for dominance.
The two flavors didn’t clash at all; they complemented each other, stimulating the taste buds even more.
"And it’s also very... um... chewy." The principal of City No. 1 Middle School, standing among the many diners, commented after taking a full two minutes to swallow a small piece of tentacle.
"Yes... It’s really freaking chewy." The surrounding diners echoed in agreement.
Had it not been for the lack of anything odd about the taste, they would have suspected that Chen Ze was adding some kind of illegal additives.
Watching those customers gathered on one side, chewing on tentacles and exclaiming over their deliciousness, more passersby and parents couldn’t help but join the growing queue.
It took a full twenty-five minutes before Cai Cai finally reached the front of Chen Ze’s line.
"Gentlemen, I can finally buy now. Boss, do you have any left?" Cai Cai asked eagerly. Her biggest fear was having queued up just for Chen Ze to tell her that everything had been sold out.
If that happened, Cai Cai figured she might not be able to resist smashing the dog head of the customer in front of her, even though he wore designer clothes and held a Maserati’s car keys. Under the weight of her anger, she felt she could go through with it.
"Yes," Chen Ze looked up and said, that had been the phrase he had uttered the most that day.
"Great! Give me thirty skewers!" Without hesitation, Cai Cai looked at the price and the notices, then took out 600 RMB and handed it to Chen Ze.
"Just a moment," Chen Ze took the money, glanced at it, and tossed it into a small box at his feet.
[Riding Wind: Cai Cai, I see you. I am queuing behind you.]
[I’m Not a Hater: Oh my god, someone is actually selling for 20 RMB a skewer? So many shills? I’m reporting this!]
[New Start: You idiot, did you see the guy who just arrived in a Maserati? Do you think he could be a shill?]
[I Really Am Not a Hater: Heh, just an old key, I can buy one on Taobao for a few dozen bucks.]
"Here, take it." Chen Xingchen handed a paper bag containing 30 skewers to Cai Cai.
Cai Cai walked to one side and joined the group of people eating skewers, and put one into her mouth. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
She slowly chewed and "!!!"
Then, the audience watching the live stream saw Cai Cai chew for a full two minutes before she began to speak.
"Gentlemen! I highly recommend these skewers! 20 RMB for delicacies from the mountains and the sea, I think it’s a good deal, I even feel like the vendor is the one taking a loss!"
[Penguin Network CEO: Yes, yes, yes, you all made a profit, only I took a loss.]
[Vodka: Yeah, poor old Ma has to take the bus now.]
The live stream room instantly filled with a jovial atmosphere.
"Miss, would you sell these skewers? A hundred per skewer, I’ll take them all," a frivolous male voice said. Cai Cai looked up to see his wristwatch and immediately realized he was indeed a tycoon.
After all, who else but a tycoon could wear a whole apartment on his wrist?
"Not selling." A hundred per skewer, and Cai Cai only needed to sell six to make back her cost, but she chose to refuse.
"As expected, it’s like this again." The tycoon’s mouth twitched, he had asked several people, and not one was willing to sell.
"Humph~ One must never let down good food," Cai Cai pouted and hummed, continuing to eat her skewers. She felt she might not be able to taste such delicious skewers again for a long time.
"Bro, when will you sell next time?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Depends on when I have ingredients..."
"And when will that be?"
"That... that will have to be left to fate, I guess?"
