Gourmet: Midnight Vending

Chapter 196: Dad Don't Worry I'll Just Have One


Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Chen Mo's black wok is practically sparking with flames!

"How much now?"

Yino tapped the card machine twice, "Eighteen thousand!"

Wow, Chen Mo has lost track of how much he's sold, anyway all fifty chickens have been finished by Lu Yingqiu's side.

The noodles have also been cooked out.

The scallion lamb was initially considered expensive by many customers, but once those big bosses started eating, other customers were willing to try too.

After trying it, they found out, this stuff is really quite delicious!

Word of mouth spread, and even the 258-priced scallion lamb became a hot seller, nearly everyone had a portion. It was prepared from just one lamb's ribs, which couldn't withstand the sales.

There weren't many noodles, a dozen bowls were cooked at a time, and they sold out quickly.

Now Chen Mo still has half a bucket of rabbit heads behind him, about two hundred or so.

This stuff is really spicy. Many customers just ordered a couple to try, but once they ate!

They got hooked!

Once they finished and wanted more, they either had to wait for He Chunming's foot massage complimentary queue service, or just go to the back of the line.

With sales reaching eighteen thousand already, it's close to Chen Mo leveling up!

Chen Mo turned up the heat, pouring the remaining half of the rabbit heads into the black wok. Zhou Xudong, just being a little closer, felt a wave of spiciness coming at him!

"Brother-in-law, after all this, you just brought us to eat this stuff? Ha, I thought you made it big and wouldn't take us to a Michelin three-star restaurant now?"

Jingyang, Zhou Xudong's brother-in-law, and Jing Zhaodi's younger brother.

The dowry of three hundred and eighty thousand was basically demanded for him.

This kid only went to a vocational school and is unemployed now, riding a motorcycle around the village daily.

The term "Michelin three-star" was something he didn't know before. He learned it from reading a book on Tomato Novel a few days ago, where characters say it each time they enter a high-end restaurant. Jingyang remembered this term, now it's coming in handy!

Zhou Xudong sneered, thinking to himself, you don't even understand Shaxian Grand Hotel, and want to eat Michelin three-star, even I haven't had it yet!

But Zhou Xudong felt Boss Chen's dishes definitely don't lose out to Michelin, "Boss Chen, any more left?"

"Only rabbit heads left."

Damn, Zhou Xudong felt frustrated, the dish he loved most was the bang bang chicken. It didn't just carry childhood memories but was also a Sichuan delicacy!

"Rabbit heads, then rabbit heads!" Zhou Xudong thought spicy rabbit heads are different from bang bang chicken, this stuff is really spicy; the little girl surely can't eat it, "Give us twenty rabbit heads."

Whiz, whiz~

Chen Mo packed up the rabbit heads and handed them to Zhou Xudong.

"No way, brother-in-law!" Jingyang exaggeratedly pointed at what Zhou Xudong was holding, "If you're treating us to this, count me out!"

"That's it." Elder Jing folded his hands behind his back, looking unfriendly, "We came all this way because we care about our daughter, and this is how you're treating us? Seems like I wasn't wrong back then!"

Jing Zhaodi wanted to retort immediately but was stopped by Zhou Xudong's glare.

This was all part of Elder Jing's plan.

Before coming, he had discussed with Jingyang and the old lady. They hadn't been in touch for over ten years, and they actively contacted their daughter. That cheap son-in-law readily agreed to host them.

What does that mean?

Elder Jing made a precise judgment; the boy probably made some money in recent years and wants to show off to them.

Since Zhou Xudong wanted to show off, Elder Jing planned to cooperate with him, insisting the food wasn't high-class enough, refusing to eat.

Then use a provocation method, like saying, since you're so rich now, dare to pay back the dowry of three hundred eighty thousand!

That was the idea of Elder Jing's family.

Zhou Xudong didn't mind Elder Jing's disdain, "If you don't like it, that's fine, we Sichuan people have loved eating this since we were kids, so you'll have to wait until we're done to be entertained elsewhere."

Saying that, Zhou Xudong didn't stand on ceremony, handed ten rabbit heads to his wife, then tore a small piece of meat with his fingers, "Come Xintong, see if you dare to eat it."

The little one opened her mouth to accept the little piece of meat from her father's hand.

"Sss... Ah!!!"

After just a few bites, her face turned red, she breathed heavily, eyes almost squeezed shut from the spiciness.

"Dad, it's delicious, want more!"

"Whoa." Zhou Xudong looked in disbelief at his daughter, "Don't eat too much ha, just one more bite."

Little Xiaoxintong opened her mouth again for another piece from her father, her lips trembled from the spice, but for some reason, she just wanted more!

Despite being a Sichuan person, Zhou Xudong laughed seeing his wife not knowing how to start, "Watch me! You gotta break it open first."

He split the rabbit head into two halves, "Then you can chew on it."

"Snap, snap~ sizzle..." Zhou Xudong chewed the meat on the rabbit head hard, occasionally sucking the spicy broth forcefully.

Sweating profusely, feeling completely refreshed!

Jing Zhaodi imitated Zhou Xudong, usually an avid spice-lover from Jiangxi, now gasping from the heat, the family of three slurped the rabbit heads, making the Elder Jing's family swallow continuously.

Jingyang had left early in the morning, planning to first criticize Zhou Xudong for the inadequate reception at noon, and when Zhou Xudong wanted to play the big shot and treat them, head to a high-end restaurant for a lavish meal!

So he hadn't eaten all day yesterday, waiting for today's feast.

Now, see how it turned out.

That shameless Zhou Xudong actually took them to a street stall?

On top of that, the rabbit head is being devoured so deliciously?

He couldn't stand it anymore!

Jingyang tugged Elder Jing's arm, whispering, "Dad, I want to try a rabbit head too, it looks quite good."

Elder Jing didn't initially want him to eat, but then thought even eating one doesn't break their plan.

"Hey boy, don't you have manners? Aren't you supposed to entertain us, yet you and your family are eating for yourselves, ignoring us?"

Zhou Xudong retorted in surprise, "Weren't you just saying you wouldn't eat?"

"You think I say no and you just don't give? " Elder Jing widened his eyes, "Give Yangyang a rabbit head, can't understand what's good about this lousy street stall, only you young folks enjoy it."

He found an excusable reason for his disgruntled son.

Zhou Xudong wasn't stingy, casually handing Jingyang a rabbit head.

Jingyang held the rabbit head dripping with red oil, speaking in a low voice, "Dad, don't worry, I'll eat just this one. Afterward, let's have him take us out for a meal."

Elder Jing nodded.

My son understands!
