Only Aunt Wang and Li Juanzi were busy at the counter.
Zhao Shanshan and Lin Xiaoyue were outside greeting the guests and wiping the tables.
When the peak period passed, everyone counted the remaining skewers and found that the shop had sold half of the skewers that were delivered in the morning.
The sales of the cold cakes were also higher than usual.
In order to cope with the peak period at noon, they had to go back to Daishi Village to replenish the stock.
Hence, Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Juanzi and Zhao Shanshan to put the dirty bowls and chopsticks in the carriage.
Then, she brought Zhao Shanshan to western market to purchase vegetables, meat, and other ingredients.
Then, they returned to Daishi Village.
After returning to the house, Lin Xiaoyue handed the ingredients and dirty bowls to Wang Erya.
“Immediately arrange for someone to cook a big pot of rice. I’ll send it to the eatery later. Today, many customers mentioned that they wanted to eat rice with the spicy skewers.” Lin Xiaoyue said to Wang Erya.
She didn’t want to turn her eatery into a restaurant, but since most of the customers had such a demand, she thought it was okay to prepare some rice.
Especially at the dock, she would probably have to prepare more food. Moreover, she would have to prepare white and brown rice.
“Alright, Yue’er!” Wang Erya quickly agreed.
“Have everything 1 want ready in an hour.” Lin Xiaoyue instructed.
“Don’t worry. The cold cakes and skewers are all ready-made. We just need a pot of rice. I’ll cook the rice immediately. I can get it done in an hour!”
Lin Xiaoyue was relieved. After giving Wang Erya a few more instructions, she returned to the backyard.
An hour later, Lin Xiaoyue came out of the backyard and was about to instruct Zhao Shanshan to load the goods and set off.
Only then did she know that Zhao Shanshan had already sent all the goods she needed to the carriage with Wang Erya.
“Well done!” Lin Xiaoyue gave Zhao Shanshan an appreciative look.
Then, they went to town.
Not long after the two of them arrived at the shop, they welcomed the afternoon rush hour.
Many students from Qingyun Academy knew that the Liu Shi’s Eatery was serving a new dish today, so they all came to check it out.
Of course, they couldn’t stop after trying it.
When they learned that there was rice, many people immediately ate a full meal there.
After the meal, the scholars walked out feeling unusually satisfied.
“This spicy skewer is too delicious. 1 can eat another 30 skewers tonight!” A scholar said.
“1’11 come again tonight! Let’s go together!” Another scholar said.
“And me!”
“It tastes so good. 1 don’t want to go to another restaurant anymore.”
“Yeah, it’s delicious and worth it! One vegetable skewer is only 1 wen. I’ll be full after spending 20 wen!”
“The meat skewers are the best. It was a pity that there was not a lot of meat.” A scholar said with a regretful expression.
“Come on, meat is more expensive than vegetables. Although the meat skewers didn’t have much meat, the price was only 2 wen. If you really wanted to satisfy your craving, you would have to buy 10 to 20 skewers. If you feel bad about spending so much money, just mix in some vegetable skewers!”
“Yes, yes! I feel like 1 can eat this spicy skewer for a month! Oh no, for a year!”
“Me too! 1’11 go to Liu Shi’s Eatery regularly! If the two of you want to as well, the three of us can share a table in the future. Whoever arrives first will save us
a seat.”
Based on the popularity of the spicy skewers, it would be difficult to get a seat there.
“It’s right at the entrance of the academy. If you really don’t want to wait, you can buy some back to the dormitory.”
They saw some scholars buying them back to the dormitory.
Although they needed to wash the bowls themselves, it was not that bad.
“That’s true.”
“Hmm…”
Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi also came. They also brought Li Huaiyu and other classmates.
When they found out that there was rice and that the spicy skewers could be eaten with rice, Li Huaiyu immediately suggested that everyone have lunch at Liu Shi’s Eatery.
Of course, everyone was full of praise. They also expressed that they would come often in the future.
When Lin Xiaoyue saw Xiao Qing and her brother bring people to the shop, she sent 60 skewers of meat and vegetables to them. She even went to greet them and ask them how they were doing..
