Li Wei really loves grilled lamb kidneys.

Be it at home or in Beijing, some taste strongly gamey while others are milder. The more gamey ones usually have more spices, which he likes, so he's always thought he enjoyed the unique gamey flavor of lamb kidneys.

This notion completely changed the moment he tried the grilled lamb kidneys made by Wang Fan.

"Oh my heavens, so this is the real taste of grilled lamb kidneys! I've been eating stale ones all along T-T!"

"This layer of golden, oil-slicked crispy skin, the lamb aroma that's several times more intense than regular lamb meat, the rich meat aroma perfectly blending with a subtle charred fragrance under the accompaniment of cumin, it's tantalizing my taste buds."

"This bouncy yet tender and smooth texture, unbeatable, anything by Little Boss Wang is unbeatable!"

After finishing, Feng Haoyu breathed out a satisfied sigh, surprisingly without a hint of the usual musk, only the rich meaty aroma indicating the deliciousness he just experienced.

"From today on, Little Boss Wang, I'm your biggest fan!"

"Biggest fan plus 1!"

"Biggest fan plus 2!"

...

After sending off Feng Haoyu, Li Wei, and the others, Wang Fan nestled back into his shop to study recipes again.

Just as he was engrossed, he suddenly heard his phone continuously pinging. Puzzled, he took it out and saw a group he was in constantly @mentioning him.

"@Boss Wang, will you be on Mount Tai tomorrow afternoon? I've booked a climb in the morning, hoping to enjoy your freshly grilled lamb skewers at the peak, hehe."

"@Boss Wang, isn't this a coincidence? I've also booked a Mount Tai climb for tomorrow morning. Could you prep extra skewers for me? I have quite an appetite, starting from 30 skewers."

"Dear fellow above, don't talk about having a big appetite starting from 30 skewers in Lu Dong, thank you. Today my friends and I each had 133 lamb skewers, two lamb kidneys, and garlic baby bok choy at Boss Wang's, each of us!"

"@Boss Wang, we've also booked a Mount Tai climb for tomorrow, my spouse, child, and I all love your steamed rice rolls, and I'm sure I'll love your grilled skewers too. Hope to see you tomorrow."

There were more messages, similar to the previous ones. They all booked to climb Mount Tai, some coming solo, others with family. Some would come tomorrow, some the day after, and others in two or three days.

Seeing these messages, Wang Fan was both happy and touched, and he quickly responded in the group: "Thank you all for your support and love. I'll be on Mount Tai these days, and you're all welcome to come and eat. Additionally, it would be great if those coming tomorrow could estimate how many skewers you plan to eat, so I can prepare the ingredients in advance."

"Ah, Boss Wang has appeared, catch him, catch him."

"Hurry and let him go, who else would make us skewers if he's caught?"

"Exactly, I'm full of anticipation for tomorrow's Mount Tai trip. Without Boss Wang, it wouldn't be perfect."

"Seriously, are you guys going to hug the tree tomorrow at Boss Wang's place?"

"Pah, stop joking, it means checking the number of people! I'll be there with two people, planning to pre-order 100 skewers, and by the way, how much do the skewers cost?"

Wang Fan replied: "Currently, we have grilled lamb skewers for 5 yuan each, lamb kidneys for 30 yuan each, one kidney per skewer, all made with fresh tidal lamb meat. As for veggies, grilled potato slices are 2 yuan each, garlic baby bok choy is 10 yuan per serving."

Wang Fan's price list made everyone in the group happy.

"Boss Wang's prices are very reasonable. In Beijing, regular places charge 4 yuan just for lamb skewers, and you're not even sure if it's fresh meat. Boss Wang is selling at 5 yuan per skewer in a scenic area."

"Everything else is also very reasonably priced, almost the same as prices at the barbecue place downstairs from my home, except the kidneys are a bit pricier."

"Yeah, kidneys around here usually sell for 20 yuan, so it's a bit expensive."

Li Wei couldn't sit still any longer. As a true fan of Wang Fan, he couldn't tolerate anyone criticizing him: "Let me clarify for everyone, Boss Wang's lamb kidneys are from our Dongying tidal lambs, with a cost of 18 yuan each. Adding on the transportation, labor, shop, and ingredients, do you still think a 30-yuan price is expensive? I just dined at Boss Wang's today, and all I can say is that you get what you pay for. I even think 30 yuan is underpriced! Bear in mind that a bowl of instant noodles at Taishan Peak costs 20 yuan!"

"Now that you put it that way, Boss Wang's pricing is definitely a good deal."

"Absolutely, Boss Wang never cheats, he earns honest money."

"I think so too, Boss Wang used to sell steamed rice rolls in Beijing for only 10 yuan per serving, and the ingredients were always fresh. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, pre-ordering 200 skewers. I also booked a hotel at Taishan Peak, and if there are night snacks available, I'll order 200 more lamb skewers, 5 lamb kidneys, and a serving of garlic baby bok choy."

"I'll order 500 skewers, our whole family with about ten people is coming."

"I'm ordering 50 skewers, just for myself, plus two kidneys."

"I'm ordering 230 skewers plus 8 kidneys and 4 servings of garlic baby bok choy."

Wang Fan was surprised at the number of orders and quickly took out a notepad to jot them down.

After recording everything, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

To be honest, the quantity is quite large!

"Are you all seriously coming?"

He was worried some people might just be joking around.

"Rest assured, Boss Wang, we men keep our word. Here's my booking info, and if necessary, I can pay a deposit too."

Saying this, he shared his Mount Tai booking information, which indeed showed morning timing for tomorrow.

"I'll definitely arrive, it's just a matter of time. I'm not sure how long climbing to the peak with these two legs will take, but even if I have to crawl, I'll get to your shop before passing out."

"Brother above, it sounds terrifying to climb a mountain and eat a meal. But I'll make it, I've booked a hotel to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning."

"Um... sorry, I was just joking around. Cancel my 100 skewers."

"Um... and me, sorry, cancel my 150 skewers too."

Except for two people who were just joking, everyone else showed their booking information.

This group was previously shared by Shen Yu on Weibo and now has over 1850 people. Even just a small portion is enough to keep Wang Fan busy for a whole day.

After canceling the orders from the jokers and roughly estimating, there are still at least over 3000 skewers to be prepared. Grilling is fine, but skewering them will be quite a challenge!

Even if he could auto-pilot at night, there's a limit to how quickly skewers can be made. Even at 400 per hour, it would still take 8 hours to finish.

Hiss... it's impossible to finish, absolutely impossible!
