The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"Ok?"

Time passed minute by minute, and the officers and soldiers stood there, waiting impatiently.

They had been waiting for a long time, but Li Chong and Sun Lai Di were still busy there, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping. Finally, an officer could not help but urge them.

"Well, well, sir, what would you like to eat?"

Hearing the soldiers' urging, Sun Lai Di was startled and replied quickly.

In fact, they had already prepared the food, but because the group of officials stood in front of them as majestically as door gods, they were frightened and didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only pretend to be busy to delay time.

"I want that meat."

The officer standing in the front pointed at the braised meat in the pot and stared straight into the pot without even moving his eyeballs.

Obviously, he was craving for that piece of braised meat.

Seeing this, Li Chong quickly served a bowl of rice to Sun Laidie.

After Sun Lai Di took the bowl, she skillfully served him a portion of braised pork rice.

However, Sun Lai Di then said something that made her regret it: "Would you like to try another serving of braised pork rice?"

Sun Lai Di realized that she had said the wrong thing. She had said these words so many times in normal times that in such a tense atmosphere, she couldn't help but say them out loud.

She prayed that it wouldn't cause any trouble.

"Pork offal?" The official frowned slightly after taking the stewed rice, and seemed a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, this one will do! How much does it cost?"

"Ten cents a portion."

When Sun Lai Di received the copper coins handed over by the official, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at the copper coins in her hand in disbelief.

These adults in official uniforms actually came to eat, and they paid so readily!

She muttered to herself: Have these people changed their personalities today?

Sun Lai Di had no idea that this group of people came to support Lin Zhi. She just felt that the sun rose from the west today.

Just then, an urgent shout interrupted Sun Lai Di's thoughts.

"Give me a serving of braised pork rice too!" The voice was full of anticipation and eagerness, as if it had extremely high expectations for the braised pork rice.

Sun Lai Di came to her senses and dared not be negligent any longer, and quickly started serving food to the adults.

There were about ten officers and soldiers who came. After a while, each of them was holding a bowl of steaming and fragrant braised rice in their hands.

"It smells good! It smells really good!" An officer exclaimed in praise while chewing the food in his mouth.

"It's not only fragrant, but also very tasty! The pig's trotter is so soft and sticky!" Another official also echoed.

"I smelled this last time I came here, and my mouth almost watered. I am so happy to be able to taste it today."

......

For a moment, sounds of praise came one after another, filling the entire stall.

The officials ate with gusto and praised the taste of the braised pork rice highly.

When the employees at the stall heard these compliments, smiles gradually appeared on their faces.

It's delicious, that's right! With such delicious food, would you be willing to mess it up next time?

Those diners who mustered up the courage to stay, seeing that the soldiers were not there to cause trouble, plucked up their courage and walked to the front of the stalls.

"Please give me five of each. I want to take them home."

The first diner tiptoed to the stall and spoke to Sun Lai Di in a low voice.

Although he was quite brave, he was not brave enough to sit at the same table with the officials for dinner, so he could only choose to pack up the food and take it back home, and let his family taste the delicious braised pork rice.

When the diner saw that the group of soldiers ignored him when he tried to buy something, he plucked up his courage again and went to the other two stalls to buy a portion of tofu, an egg pancake and a rice roll before leaving.

Once the first person dares to try, the second brave person will immediately appear.

He followed the first diner's example and packed up all the food he wanted to eat.

And then the third one.

the fourth.

the fifth.

......

They are all people who have a special preference for this kind of food!

They had not tasted the delicious food sold by this small vendor for several days, and they did not have enough money to go to a big restaurant like Fu Man Lou to satisfy their appetite.

So, after such a long wait, they finally had a crazy "revenge consumption" - buying several servings of delicious food at one time!

Although they usually start with at least two orders for each purchase, this time it was obviously more exaggerated.

These satisfied diners who have bought their favorite food will encourage acquaintances or those who are still hesitating whether to buy on their way home without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of diners appeared in front of the stall.

Although the number of people is not as high as before, the amount of food sold is just as great as before.

The officers came here with an important mission. Simply coming here to show off their skills would obviously not achieve their goal. They must stay here for a longer time so that more people will notice their presence.

Therefore, even though they couldn't wait to devour the bowl of braised rice, they had to be patient and savor it slowly.

However, as more and more people came to buy goods, and bought several copies at a time, the officials finally could not suppress their inner impulse.

They quickly shoveled the food in their bowls into their mouths, and then prepared to go again to buy the mouth-watering braised rice.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Acai, who had just stood up, immediately stopped them.

After all, they were wearing eye-catching uniforms, and if they stood over there, the crowd would probably disperse in an instant.

"I've been standing here for so long, but you haven't come to take care of my business. Be careful or I'll go back and complain to my superiors." Acai started to act unreasonably, acting as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

In desperation, the officers had to move to Acai's stall first.

"Okay, okay, then give me one portion of each. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to buy braised rice." One of the officers urged.

"The braised rice is delicious, but the grilled tofu and egg pancakes I made are also quite good." Acai responded while starting to get busy with his hands and feet.

His movements can be as slow as he wants.

The officials did not dare to rush him. Although Ah Cai had resigned, he still had a backer. They did not dare to offend him.

I could only wait patiently in front of his stall.

----------Two-in-one dividing line----------

It didn't take long for Acai to finish cooking the omelette and tofu.

The official carrying the food was originally planning to buy braised pork rice first, but at this moment, Ah Cai spoke again:

"The egg pancake and tofu must be eaten while they are still hot to enjoy the best flavor. Also, I've specially made a unique sauce for you that our boss has prepared exclusively for you. Come and try it."

Faced with Ah Cai's enthusiastic recommendation, the official stared at him suspiciously, muttering to himself:

"This guy definitely has no good intentions."

Acai didn't care about the other person's thoughts at all. He just kept urging him to quickly taste the delicious food he had carefully prepared, and then turned around and started making egg pancakes for the next officer or soldier.

Since the iron plate tofu is cooked in batches, there is no need to continue making it for the time being.

It was obvious that none of the officials present could escape Acai’s forced sales pitch.

Suddenly, an official ran up to Ah Cai, his face flushed red, and asked breathlessly:

"Hiss! Ah Cai, you are not poisoning me! Cough cough cough..."

Faced with such questioning, Ah Cai, who was busy, seemed unusually calm. He picked up the bone soup that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the official without panic.

Gurgling.

The official hurriedly took the bone soup and drank it all in one gulp. After swallowing the cold bone soup, he barely suppressed the spicy taste in his mouth.

After feeling less uncomfortable, he thought about asking Acai for an explanation.

However, before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by his colleague beside him - "Spicy! Spicy! Spicy!"

He heard bursts of exclamations from behind, and turned his head to look. It turned out that an officer behind him was sticking out his tongue, passing the man in front and walking straight towards Acai.

There was no need for Ah Cai to pass the bone soup over. He grabbed it as soon as he saw it and drank it all in one gulp.

When the first officer who came over saw this, he wanted to ask Acai for an explanation again.

As a result, he was suddenly pulled away by another person, who was shouting, "Don't block the way, I'm about to die from the spiciness, hurry up, give me some water!"

This pull almost made him fall flat on his face. When he finally managed to stand firmly on his feet, he saw several colleagues running over in a hurry to get some water.

This time he was no longer in a hurry to ask for an explanation, and simply stood aside and watched the show.

The officers at the end of the line looked at the miserable state of the crowd, then looked at the food in their hands, and wondered for a moment whether they should eat it or not.

"Eat it! It tastes better when it's hot, really!" Seeing that they didn't move, Ah Cai's face was full of confusion, and his tone became hurried. The officers and soldiers who came to find water seemed to be infected by Ah Cai's enthusiasm, and they all echoed: "Yes, it tastes better when it's hot, eat it quickly!"

However, the few officers and soldiers who had not yet started eating looked conflicted and hesitant.

They thought to themselves, "Do you want to see what your faces look like now?"

Faced with these seemingly delicious foods, they really couldn't muster the courage to try them.

After all, who knows if there is any danger hidden in it? Looking at the miserable state of those colleagues, it is clear that it must be unpleasant to eat.

Although they were filled with fear, they eventually ate all the food with tears in their eyes under the friendly and expectant gaze of their colleagues.

Immediately afterwards, there was another chaotic scene of people scrambling to find water to drink.

After everyone had finished eating, Ah Cai finally revealed a satisfied smile and asked with a smile, "Is our boss's secret sauce delicious?"

When hearing this question, different people gave completely different answers.

Someone gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Delicious!"

Obviously, this was a voice full of resentment and helplessness; others even chuckled mockingly: "Delicious?"

It seems that he didn't understand why he asked the word "delicious".

However, some people nodded sincerely and praised: "Delicious!"

Apparently, it’s not uncommon for people to try spicy food for the first time and be okay with it.

"Is there something wrong with your mouths? Why do you think this pungent sauce tastes good?"

Those who thought the food was not tasty surrounded the few people who said it was tasty, trying to change their minds.

The officers and soldiers were surrounded by the crowd and felt their scalps tingling, but they still insisted on their point of view: "It is indeed delicious!"

Time has unknowingly come to the time for students to go home from school.

At this point, it was too late for the officials to buy a bowl of braised pork rice.

The students studying in the college are all young, energetic and fearless young men.

They showed no fear when facing the uniformed officers.

These students had no intention of giving way to the officials. Wherever they lined up, they were like a swarm of locusts, and all edible food was eaten up.

Even the rice rolls that Zhou Daniu had not sold out were eventually sold out.

It was already time for Zhou Daniu to get off work.

After he packed up his things, he went home after get off work. The person who took over his job was Daya.

Daya looked at the rice milk that had been sold out and breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the family runs a snack business. If all the food on the day is not sold out, it will have to be processed by their own staff.

At this moment, those officials who wanted to have a second helping of braised rice showed a look of resentment on their faces:...

While busy cleaning up the stall, Ah Cai said disapprovingly, "Do you have to be so resentful? If you want to eat, just come early tomorrow and buy it."

"It's so easy for you to say! If we come earlier, we have to wait until we get off work. Besides, the food sold in your stall is not cheap. Even if we want to come here more often, we have to check how much money we have in our pockets first!" One of the officers couldn't help but complain.

In fact, although they seem very impressive in front of others, as their immediate superiors are very honest, they, as subordinates, do not actually have much extra income.

Otherwise, they would not have risked being discovered for taking bribes and come to cause trouble.

Ah Cai shrugged: "That's your business."

After saying that, he buried his head and started to pack his things. After packing, he still had to wash up, as he was a little pressed for time.

There was nothing to eat, and the stall was closed. The officials' punishment mission was completely over, and they came to say goodbye to Ah Cai.

Acai just waved at them without saying anything.
