“This is too delicious!”

“There’s always the smell of preservatives in the oden sold at supermarket. Some of them are even kept for months. It doesn’t look safe so I don’t dare to buy them for my child.”

“Little kid, how much are you selling it for?”

“One card for each portion, and there are some braised ones. Do you want to try them?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The parents looked pleasantly surprised as if they had found a treasure. After tasting a few more, they pulled their children towards Xu Le’s food stall and said, “Give me two portions!”

“Mom, didn’t you agree to buy me instant noodles?”

Usually, at home, parents would more or less forbid their child from eating such junk food, afraid that there would be additives or preservatives, and eating too much of them would be bad for their development. So that day, a stall that was selling instant noodles actually had a long queue.

“Wait a minute. There aren’t many chicken feet. Let’s buy some first before queuing up there. Otherwise, they will be sold out.”

As the parent comforted the child, he took out a card and said, “Give me a serving of both sour and spicy, and braised flavoured one.”

“Alright!”

Xu Le quickly packed two portions and handed them over. He even gave them two pairs of disposable gloves. “Take good care. If it’s delicious, remember to help me promote it.”

The few people who had tried the dish earlier all bought chicken feet, but there were still no one who had bought oden.

On the other side, Xu Tian found a classmate she knew and stuffed a meatball into her mouth. “This is delicious. Try it.”

It was Lu Yuxi’s first time seeing Xu Tian being so domineering. She explained happily, “It’s not spicy and the soup base is very delicious.”

However, when the parent beside saw the food, she started to frown and said in disdain, “It’s all starchballs bought from the supermarket. I saw on the internet that many meat is made of rat meat. It’s especially unclean…”

“Look at these beef balls.” Lu Yuxi anxiously tried to explain. “They were all made with a meat grinder this morning. If you don’t believe me, try one. How can the meatballs bought by the supermarket compare to the ones we had freshly made?”

The parent realized that she had gone overboard with her words, so she tried a beef ball.

When Xu Le was making the beef balls, he did not grind all the meat into minced meat. Instead, he chopped half of the meat into minced meat. This way, the texture was full and one could clearly taste the tender beef cubes inside.

As soon as they bit into it, the oil and soup flowed out, and the skipjack tuna soup base completely blended into the beef balls. It was fresh, tender, and smooth, and even more delicious than the taste at the convenience store.

The parent subconsciously wanted to take the cup and take a sip of the soup, but she only reacted to it as she extended her hand halfway. She awkwardly stopped in mid-air and said gently, “I was being rash just now. Can I ask where you bought this thing from?”

Lu Yuxi pointed in the direction. “The oden stall over there.”

Soon, there were consecutively a few people who went over to buy the food because of the good taste. However, they could not continue like this. Xu Le’s business had always been smooth-sailing and praised. That day was the first time that they had been rejected.

Lu Yuxi returned to the stall and put her hands on her hips. “They don’t know what’s good. Hmph!”

“I think there must be another reason why I can’t sell them.” Xu Le said after a while, “Did they think that I bought these pre-processed pills?”

“…Maybe.”

When Xu Tian saw that the business was not getting better, she could not help but feel dejected. Her head was lowered when heard two loud noises.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

Lu Yuxi had borrowed a loudspeaker from somewhere and was adjusting the volume. The loud and piercing sound made a group of people look over at them.
