Who would have thought Boss Xiao Chen is that kind of person.

He Ziheng just felt you can't judge a book by its cover, who would have thought a skilled chef like Boss Chen would still need to rely on someone else, then what's the point of sticking to my principles?

I must say, Chen Mo dressed in black was already strikingly handsome, and at this moment, one hand flipping the black wok, the other occasionally using a black spatula to lightly stir the ingredients inside, this scene somewhat resembled a big celebrity filming a variety show on the street.

The spicy peppers in the wok gradually dried out under constant stir-frying, beginning to emit a strong spicy aroma.

And the diced chicken, which had been fried and coated with a light layer of starch, still had a slightly dry surface, but once it encountered the oil that had been fried until it turned red, it immediately began to absorb it, followed by more stir-frying.

At this moment, through the process of absorbing the fats on the surface and becoming soft and then being stir-fried to crispiness, the oil that had absorbed the aroma of peppers and Sichuan peppercorns crazily infused itself into the diced chicken, perfectly blending with the chicken meat.

Once the surface of the diced chicken turned crispy, Chen Mo immediately turned off the heat, sprinkled a handful of white sesame seeds, flipped the spatula a few more times, and served the dish!

"Hiss... Boss Xiao Chen, today's serving looks a bit more delicious than yesterday's!"

Chen Mo threw a knowing look at He Ziheng, "There's a reason for the price hike, just looking doesn't count, you only know by tasting, can you finish all this by yourself?"

He Ziheng let out a speechless sigh, "Don't even get me started, I barely had a few bites of the dishes I ordered yesterday before they were gone, just like that, each one of them."

He Ziheng was gesturing as he spoke, in a flamboyant manner, "I'm maintaining my figure, can't eat carbs, can't eat spicy..."

He then changed his pose, with one finger resting under his chin, "I usually eat very little, can't finish much at all~"

And then changed his posture again, "I'm on a fat loss program recently, especially can't eat..."

"Cough cough!" Chen Mo lightly covered his mouth, coughing violently, "Cough cough cough!"

Behind He Ziheng, standing there wasn't anyone else but his sister-in-law!

Chen Mo of course remembered this woman, after all, this outfit was strikingly attention-grabbing not just in Hanyang Town, even on Chunxi Road, especially since Gu Fang had shaken hands with Chen Mo yesterday and had heard Chen Mo's story.

So she made an impression.

"Especially can't eat carbs! And yet!" The more He Ziheng spoke, the more excited he got, and the angrier he became, "And yet, each of them ate more than anyone! Especially my future sister-in-law!"

Seeing Chen Mo's face red from coughing, he asked, "Boss Xiao Chen, is this chili really that pungent?"

Chen Mo pointed behind him without speaking.

He Ziheng instinctively turned his head to look.

A cold and beautiful face appeared in front of him, eyes filled with menace, just like a killer!

"Hiss..." He Ziheng's brain was racing, "Especially my sister-in-law, with a figure like that, does she really need to not eat anything? Ridiculous!"

Gu Fang gave He Ziheng an annoyed look, her gaze sliding over him without bothering, "Boss Xiao Chen, wow! You're dressed so properly today?"

Chen Mo gave a slight smile, "Just regular protocol."

"Give us some more beef, yesterday we bought a pound and finished it before bed, today there's a work event, might as well buy some to keep around." Gu Fang glanced around, saw no one at the Lu Fang booth, "No beef today? By the way, how long does this beef last?"

"Best to finish within 3 days, it won't spoil within 7 days, but it might affect taste and flavor," Chen Mo explained, then turned around and shouted towards the Lu Fang booth, "Yingqiu, we have customers!"

Lu Yingqiu blushingly carried out the beef made yesterday but unsold, "How much would you like?"

Gu Fang thought about it, then hollered to her sisters behind her, "Sister Liu, I want to buy some beef, do you want some too?"

Liu Yuerong, who was with the yoga studio members at the teahouse listening to someone talk, replied to the call, "You all continue listening! I'm going over there to buy something."

"What's the good stuff, Sister Yuerong?" A 38-year-old little aunt followed her over, "Eh? Beef jerky?"

"This isn't just any beef jerky." Liu Yuerong stood by Gu Fang and without concern for costs, directed Lu Yingqiu to generously pack the beef into paper bags, "This is a famous snack from Sichuan, called Lantern Shadow Beef!"

Lantern Shadow Beef?

The little aunt bit her lip, thinking, "I think I've heard of it but never tried it, let me have a taste too!"

Three women buying things attracted more women from the teahouse who were listening to a story, seeing them grabbing beef into paper bags like a flash sale.

Those wealthy women were chattering away, wanting samples.

Lu Yingqiu generously brought out a bowl of beef, "Everyone feel free to taste! If you like it, you can buy some, it's definitely okay as a snack!"

Some things are best not tasted, because once you do, you're hooked.

The women, holding the beef slices Lu Yingqiu handed them, were assuring themselves it was just beef and wouldn't cause weight gain, then eagerly popped it into their mouths.

The seemingly paper-thin beef slice, once in the mouth, surprisingly had a little juicy tenderness, and it was easy to chew, the spicy and beef flavor harmonized together, after finishing a slice, the lingering numbingly spicy sensation prompted them to quickly reach for another!

These women had some money, and wouldn't endlessly sample without buying.

"How much does this cost, little sister?"

Lu Yingqiu glanced at Chen Mo, who was focused on cooking next door, "It's 500 yuan per pound."

"What! So expensive!"

Liu Yuerong immediately turned around and said, "You don't understand, do you know how much a pound is?"

"A pound, isn't it just a pound?" The little aunt was a bit confused.

Liu Yuerong held up three large paper bags, "This is a pound, it fits into these three large bags! Enough for several days, and beef itself is quite expensive."

Initially, Lu Yingqiu also thought Brother Xiao Chen's pricing might be too high, but now her mind was blown.

Why are customers explaining to themselves why it's so expensive...

With Liu Yuerong's explanation, the other sisters felt it was reasonable and stopped fretting about whether it was expensive or not.

"I'll take three pounds! Just perfect to take some back for my mother-in-law."

"Such a delicious little snack, must buy more, can even gift it."

"Give me two pounds!"

From idling to suddenly being busy with a flurry of activity left Lu Yingqiu scrambling, she was busy while pulling out her phone to call her dad, telling them to hurry to the store to help.

Gu Fang, having bought the beef, saw her future brother-in-law sitting at the long table with a plate of spicy diced chicken, thought to herself this kid doesn't know how to seize the moment.

Wanting to date my sister, and not even trying to curry favor with me, the sister-in-law?

If you don't know how, then I'll have to teach you the ropes.

"Hey, Xiao Hu."

He Ziheng had just picked up his chopsticks and hadn't even broken them apart, looked up at his sister-in-law blankly, "Huh?"

"This spicy diced chicken you ordered."

Gu Fang crossed one arm over her chest, held her chin with the other, with a pondering expression on her face, "Does it taste good?"

He Ziheng: ???

Come on sister-in-law, whether this thing tastes good or not, don't you already know?
