It was just past 5 AM, and the sky was still dark.

Wang Fan grilled some more skewers, then took them up to Jade Emperor Peak. After a night's rest, his legs had fully recovered.

Wrapped in thick clothing, he didn't feel cold at all, and he sat down to quietly wait for the sunrise.

Originally, he thought he'd have the place to himself, but to his surprise, Boss Wang, with his square face, also came.

Wang Zhi was still holding a pancake wrapped with green onions. Seeing Wang Fan, he greeted him, "Little Boss Wang, you're up early. Here to watch the sunrise too?"

Wang Fan replied, "I've heard that the sunrise on Mount Tai is the best in the world, so I wanted to see it."

Wang Zhi sat down beside him and couldn't help teasing when he saw the skewers in Wang Fan's hand, "Wow, eating such hearty food in the morning? Youth is great."

Wang Fan rolled his eyes, "These skewers are hearty food but not hard. Your pancake is the real tough stuff."

Wang Zhi chuckled but didn't dare tell Wang Fan that the pancake he was eating was fresh out of the pan and not hard at all.

Both of them ate their breakfasts in silence. A cool breeze carried the aroma of the grilled skewers to Wang Zhi's nose.

"Sniff sniff..."

Wang Zhi couldn't help but twitch his nose. The rich aroma of the meat, the spicy scent of chili and cumin, all mercilessly teasing his hungry stomach.

Seeing Wang Fan devouring the skewers, Wang Zhi couldn't help licking his lips, and his mouth started watering. The pancake with green onion in his hand suddenly lost its flavor.

Noticing Wang Zhi staring intently at him, Wang Fan paused and asked, "What's up?"

Wang Zhi rubbed his hands and chuckled, "Well... Little Brother Wang, are you selling these skewers? Suddenly, I'm craving some hearty food too."

Wang Fan's eyes lit up. He was just worrying about today's target, and now a customer had shown up?

"Sure, 5 yuan per skewer. I'll give you two to try first; if you like them, we can talk about buying more."

Last night, Wang Fan had checked the local prices. Generally, lamb skewers were about 2.5 yuan each, but given that he was on the peak of Mount Tai, his costs were significantly higher. Although he didn't have to pay rent, if he set the price too low, people might not dare to buy his skewers, fearing he might be using some tricks, especially since they didn't know he didn't need to pay rent.

Rent plus material and transportation costs mean that selling too cheaply would make others suspicious that you were cutting corners.

Wang Zhi didn't fuss and directly took two skewers, praising, "Little Boss Wang has a great sense of business, aiming for small profits but quick turnover. But since open flames and charcoal aren't allowed on Mount Tai, your skewers might lack flavor."

Wang Fan didn't say anything else, "Try it and see how it tastes. I'm curious about the flavors here in Lu Dong."

"Heh, our Great Lu Dong cuisine is the top among the Eight Major Cuisines. To establish a food business here, one truly needs genuine skills."

Holding the skewers in his hand, Wang Zhi could feel the slight weight, which made him nod internally. This quantity didn't look like it was skimped on.

As the lamb skewer got closer, the rich aroma of lamb became even more intense, making him want to devour them immediately to satisfy his craving.

But as someone from Lu Dong, known as the pinnacle of the Eight Major Cuisines, he must eat gracefully and composedly, ensuring this outsider doesn't look down on him.

How does that phrase go again? Ah yes, be elegant, be striking.

Wang Zhi bit into the lean meat on the top of the skewer, gently pulling the bamboo skewer to bite off the first piece of meat.

Then his lips moved slightly as he began to chew meticulously...

Holy cow!

Wang Zhi's eyes widened. What was up with this lamb?!

He knew this Little Boss Wang must have used an electric grill. If he dared to use charcoal, he'd surely have to visit the little black room for a talk.

He'd had electric grilled meat before, which didn't match the taste or texture of charcoal-grilled meat.

Forget being juicy and tender; if it wasn't dry, that was already impressive.

But the meat in his mouth was nothing like that!

With one bite, he could distinctly feel the tenderness of the meat. As his teeth pressed down, he could quite clearly sense the delicious juices flowing into his mouth.

The seasoning, though simple with just a few common ingredients, elevated the meat's natural flavor to its peak!

Quickly, he bit into a piece of lamb fat.

"Crunch..."

With a crisp sound, the lamb fat cracked open, and a gentle bite made it melt in the mouth; the rich meaty aroma almost sent his soul drifting away.

The most amazing part was this lamb fat had an inexplicable refreshing aroma, making him not feel greasy at all from just eating this piece of fat.

This time, Wang Zhi didn't care about elegance or being striking. He bit into the last piece of lean meat and slurped it off. Five pieces of meat went into his mouth, and then he wasn't satisfied. He grabbed the other skewer and devoured it all at once.

His mouth filled with lamb, the rich aroma delighted his taste buds tremendously. Chewing vigorously, saying it was mouthwatering and flavorful would not be an exaggeration.

The flavor was absolutely incredible; truly unbeatable skewers!

With the lamb down his belly, Wang Zhi was still savoring the lingering taste with pursed lips.

"Respect!"

Thumbs up, Wang Zhi nodded in admiration, "I've never had such delicious lamb skewers. With skills like these, Little Boss Wang will definitely make a fortune."

Wang Fan smiled, about to say something modest, but a sliver of light on the horizon caught all his attention.

At this moment, Mount Tai was white and tranquil, the peaks howling with chilliness.

In the distance, within the sea of clouds, a sliver of light suddenly appeared, followed by a beam of orange light that first penetrated through, giving the clouds a golden edge.

Before Wang Fan could marvel at the beauty of the dawn, streams of golden light surged out.

In what seemed like an instant, a round red sun broke through the clouds, leaping out, and thousands of golden rays spread over the earth, painting everything in its light. The mountains, forests, ridges, and stones were all draped in a mysterious and beautiful color under the brilliance.

Wang Fan believed that this stunning, dreamy, gorgeous scene was something he could never describe fully with his words; the awe could only be felt firsthand.

Take a bite of a skewer to calm down first.

Indeed, there's no denying, the grilled skewers go perfectly with the sunrise, satisfying the senses, the psyche, and the appetite all at once.

Wang Zhi stared at the sunrise, perhaps reminiscing about his younger days, "This sunrise, even if watched for a lifetime, would never get old."

"Hmm, these skewers too could be eaten for a lifetime without getting tired of them."

?

Are they even the same thing?

Wang Zhi glanced at Wang Fan in frustration, but before he could say anything, his gaze was drawn back to the skewer in Wang Fan's hand.

Ah... so appetizing.

Honestly, he wanted to eat too!

"Come on, come on, quickly grill twenty more skewers for me! No, wait, I need to call my wife and have her bring my parents and kids over. We're having grilled skewers here for lunch today."
