Chapter 88 - Sold Out

Chapter 88: Sold Out

The crew members were all very interested in congee. They took turns to order their food. There were a total of two bowls of fish porridge, five bowls of pig liver and minced meat porridge, a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, a bowl of chicken intestines porridge, four bowls of lean meat porridge, three bowls of fish bone and fish porridge, three bowls of plain porridge with egg, a bowl of chicken blood porridge, and a bowl of pig blood porridge.

Mother Rong was suddenly surprised. After hearing them say a few words, she realized that there were indeed people who ate blood outside of Yuan City. Furthermore, from the looks of it, people in Yuan City had also started eating blood.

She had previously said that if people from Lulu’s hometown ate blood, there should be people who had heard of it.

From the looks of it, it was true.

Mother Rong had been working at the stall for the entire day and her skills were already fast. She quickly cooked the congee skillfully. In addition, she also sold eight glutinous rice chicken and thirteen portions of fried dumplings. Some were bigger portions while others were smaller.

… Amazing.

Even Mother Rong stood in front of the stall and was stunned for two seconds before starting to fry the dumplings.

It was really as they had expected. There were really too many merchant ships at the docks. Either they came out to ship goods, so they must have money on them, or they had been on the water for many days, so it was rare for them to land and they were definitely willing to spend money to eat something good. Good heavens, these crew members didn’t seem to lack money. Indeed, so many people had ordered fried dumplings!

They really did not care about the high price of fried dumplings!

They originally thought that fried dumplings would be bought by people the least. Unexpectedly, when these crew members arrived, they instantly bought more than half of the fried dumplings.

After Mother Rong finished cooking the food the crew wanted in a hurry, most of the ingredients she had brought were gone.

She was so tired that she raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her face and watched as the crew sat at the table they had brought and ate fervently in front of the stall.

… There was really no need to worry about earning money today.

As the tables in front of the stall were filled with people, more people were attracted and they came over to buy food. This was because many people who didn’t lack money but didn’t think about ordering anything at first saw that the business in this stall was so good.

A few more people came to eat porridge or fried dumplings. One of them was a merchant from the south who wanted a glutinous rice chicken.

In the end, Mother Rong opened the steamer—It was sold out.

Mother Rong said to that merchant without batting an eyelid, “I’m really sorry. The glutinous rice chicken is sold out.”

It was the first day they had set up a stall. They did not dare to cook too much food as they were afraid that they would not be able to sell them. Even Ye Lulu did not feel arrogant and felt that they would definitely sell well.

Hence, everything was prepared with restraint.

This was especially true for glutinous rice chicken. As glutinous rice was not suitable to be eaten too much, if they couldn’t sell it, they wouldn’t be able to finish it when they returned at night. Furthermore, in terms of numbers, glutinous rice chickens were less compared to fried dumplings. The glutinous rice chicken was sold for five copper coins as well, so they were afraid that no one would ask for it.

Therefore, they only prepared thirty glutinous rice chickens and planned to just sell them first and see how things went.

Unexpectedly, before the sky turned dark, there were still people bustling about on the docks and the glutinous rice chickens were already sold out!

At this moment, Mother Rong was ten thousand times happier and more excited than having a merchant buy food.

Her hands, which were holding the steamer, trembled slightly, perhaps because they were hot or because she was tired from cooking porridge and fried dumplings for so long.

They could really continue doing business!

“It sold out just like that?!” The merchant was shocked and revealed an unhappy expression. “I heard that this glutinous rice chicken was filling and specially came over to buy it. Why is it sold out just like that?”

Mother Rong smiled and explained politely, “It’s our first day doing business today. We were afraid that we wouldn’t be able to sell them, so we made a little less. Dear customer, I’m really sorry. If you don’t mind, buy a portion of fried dumplings instead. They are very filling too. The dumplings are big and there are ten in a large portion. You can eat them all the way.”
