A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

It's really not the two people's fault. They were both from the countryside and were good at working in the fields. But hawking and soliciting customers was a first for them, and they were very inexperienced. The people around them were all experienced merchants who had been doing business for several years or even more than ten years. Their presence alone put the two of them in awe and left them speechless.

Any customer who shows even a slight interest in Liu's restaurant will be distracted by the shouts and calls from all around.

Liu Yan watched as people walked past the food stall without even glancing at them, and she was getting increasingly anxious.

Liu Yan tugged at Nie Qianqian's sleeve, "Qianqian, what should we do? If we miss the mealtime, even fewer guests will come to eat."

Nie Qianqian patted Liu Yan's hand to comfort her, "Mother, don't worry, leave it to me."

She walked to the oxcart, took two earthenware jars from it, one containing sake and the other containing peanut milk, and heated them in hot water.

She filled the earthenware jar this morning, hoping to quickly attract customers.

She walked over to Liu Xiong and whispered in his ear.

Liu Xiong asked with some skepticism, "Qianqian, will this work? Won't this just lose money?"

Nie Qianqian smiled and said, "You have to give up something to gain something."

Liu Xiong nodded, walked to the stall, cleared his throat, focused his breath, then cupped his hands in front of his mouth, took a deep breath, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Liu's Restaurant, grand opening! The first 10 customers eat for free and receive a complimentary exclusive drink. Limited quantities available, first come, first served!!!"

He shouted with all his might, and his face turned red afterward.

However, the shout was very effective; the surrounding crowd stopped and looked at the small shop.

An auntie carrying a bag of pork she had just bought asked curiously, "Is it really free?"

Nie Qianqian immediately greeted her with a smile, "Auntie, it's really free! Don't worry about it, what's said is said, everyone's watching. We have three kinds of food that are unique to Fulin County. Would you like to try them? It's free anyway, so come and have a taste."

Nie Qianqian is beautiful, has a pleasant voice, and a sweet tongue. She greets guests with a charming smile, which makes anyone feel good about her.

The aunt was somewhat tempted by Nie Qianqian's promise. She had originally planned to buy a steamed bun to fill her stomach, but since it was free here, she might as well eat this.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Nie Qianqian smiled and said, "We have three kinds of food in our shop: spicy hot pot, tangy and sour pickled cabbage noodles, and fragrant braised pork offal. Which one would you like to eat?"

"Auntie can't eat spicy food, so let's have the braised pork offal you mentioned."

Nie Qianqian: "Okay, you wait here."

When Liu Yan saw the first customer arrive, she quickly ladled out the already heated braised pork and carefully placed it on the table.

"This is braised pork offal."

"Isn't this pig offal? That stuff stinks, how can you eat it?"

"No wonder it's free! Isn't this just a rip-off?"

"But why does it smell a little good?"

Once the braised offal was served, the surrounding onlookers began to murmur amongst themselves.

Aunt Zhu looked at the braised pork on the table, and the rich aroma of meat wafted over her nose.

Pig intestines, liver, heart and other offal are stewed until they are a tempting reddish-brown color and glisten with oil. They are topped with cilantro, which adds a touch of brightness.

Aunt Zhu picked up a piece of small intestine and put it in her mouth. The tender meat released an unparalleled flavor in her mouth. The rich meaty aroma combined with the perfect braising sauce made Aunt Zhu freeze on the spot.

This is such a delicious treat!

The intestines are fatty but not greasy, the meat is tender but not mushy, cooked thoroughly but not sticky, and the soup is rich, fragrant and mellow!

Aunt Zhu squinted her eyes, chewing carefully, finishing one piece and picking up another.

"Big sister, is this delicious?" a bystander asked curiously.

Aunt Zhu's eyes gleamed with excitement as she nodded repeatedly, "It's so delicious! I never imagined that pig offal could be cooked like this; it's even more fragrant than pork!"

It smells even better than pork?

Hearing Aunt Zhu's comments piqued everyone's interest, and two people who were nearby stepped into the stall and said, "Shopkeeper, I'd like a serving of this braised pork offal too."

"I want a spicy mala tang like you mentioned."

Nie Qianqian greeted her warmly, "Okay, you're waiting."

"You mentioned earlier that there would be complimentary drinks. We have freshly warmed sake here, it's very fragrant. If you don't drink, that's fine too, we also have peanut milk, it's sweet and warming. Auntie, which one would you like to drink?"

Peanut milk.

"I'd like sake."

"Shopkeeper, I want some too!"

"I came first!"

"Get out of the way!"

After the first few people sampled the food, many others became interested and rushed to try it, causing a commotion at the stall entrance.

The ten people who got the chance to try the food for free were all very pleased with themselves, pleased with their quick eyes and hands. Some of the guests who didn't get the chance stormed off in anger, while others stayed behind, wanting to see what the other two dishes were like.

For those who don't like spicy food, mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot) holds no appeal whatsoever. But for those who love spicy food, it's a weekly staple, something they can't resist.

The spicy broth of the mala tang is fragrant, and the rice noodles dipped in the spicy broth are a delight to the taste buds—spicy and refreshing!

The customer who ordered mala tang loudly slurped up the noodles, sticking out his tongue as he ate, then took a sip of his drink to relieve the spiciness. His eyes were even a little teary from the spiciness. "It's so good! This mala tang is so good!"

Customers who ate the pickled cabbage soup had a great appetite. The refreshing taste and tangy aroma were invigorating. The golden appearance and unique sour aroma were irresistible. After finishing the pickled cabbage, they drank the soup in one gulp. "Ah! Delicious! So good!"

The ten guests present were eating heartily, enjoying their food immensely, wolfing it down, and occasionally making smacking noises and exclaiming in praise.

The crowd had initially stayed to watch the excitement, but the more they watched, the hungrier and more tempted they became, their mouths watering so much they felt like they were about to drip.

What kind of delicious food is this that makes them eat it with such relish?

Liu Xiong was busy serving dishes and pouring drinks for ten guests. Nie Qianqian looked around at the expressions of the people around her. Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, she happily announced, "Today is the first day of our Liu Family Restaurant's opening. In addition to the first ten customers who can try the food for free, all other customers will get a 50% discount on their meals!"

As soon as he finished speaking, gasps of amazement rose from the crowd.

Half price!

"That means you can get hot pot for just 5 coins!"

"Mother, I want to eat! I'm starving!"

"I absolutely have to try what that braised pork offal tastes like."

Upon hearing that the food was half price, the people waiting by the food stall immediately went wild.

This time, everyone rushed into the store without hesitation. They had missed the chance to get a free meal earlier because of their hesitation, and they couldn't be slow this time. What if the pretty young lady changed her mind?

The once deserted Liu Family Restaurant has become bustling with customers in a short period of time.

Nie Qianqian chose a food stall located at the entrance of the West Market. The location was conspicuous, and the crowded and lively little restaurant attracted more people to stop and inquire about the situation.

Upon hearing that it was half price today, the desire to get a bargain immediately took hold, and everyone stayed to try it out.

Gradually, a long queue formed outside Liu's Restaurant, and it became crowded with people.

Liu Yan was originally worried that no one would come to her shop, but now she keeps checking how many people are waiting in line to come, and she is busy making one serving of food after another.

Liu Xiong was as busy as a spinning top at his stall, constantly moving around and never stopping. He wished he had two more hands and two more feet, but he simply couldn't keep up.

Nie Qianqian warmly greeted the long queue of customers, making sure they didn't feel neglected. She answered their questions with a smile, and for those who had waited too long, she would offer them a drink with a big smile to comfort them.
