Chapter 39 Grilled Fish, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan (Part 2)
As the sky gradually darkened, a large number of vendors gathered at the entrance of East City. People were crowded and huddled together, and all kinds of hawking sounds were heard. They were all doing business with Shrek students.
On one side of the road, Tang Ya helped Huo Yuhao set up a grilled fish stall, and a colorful sign with the words "Little Huo Grilled Fish" lit up next to the grill.
"Done, I'm such a little genius!"
Tang Ya clapped her hands, pinched her waist with both hands, and her pretty face was excited: "Yuhao, you can set up a stall here after school. Ask the cafeteria aunt to get you 20 herrings every day. Including the charcoal fire seasoning, the cost of one fish is about three copper soul coins, so you can sell five copper soul coins. The money earned can be used to maintain basic expenses, so as not to delay too much practice time."
"Thank you, Teacher Xiaoya!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with tears. Since his mother Huo Yun'er passed away, Tang Ya has been the best person to him. She helped him enter the first college on the mainland as a special student, and now she has enabled him to be self-reliant and not have to worry about not being able to afford the cafeteria outside the courtyard.
Huo Yuhao secretly swore in his heart that he must help Tang Ya revive the Tang Sect again!
"It's no big deal!" Tang Ya waved her hand, looking unconcerned, "I'm going to take a walk, remember to leave me two grilled fish!"
After that, she threw out a silver soul coin, and like a swimming fish, she nimbly slipped into the crowd and disappeared from Huo Yuhao's sight.
After watching Tang Ya go away, Huo Yuhao rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare for the grilled fish. He had been helping his mother since he was a child and had superb cooking skills. With his dancing hands, he scaled, gutted, cleaned, and marinated the fish in one go. He threw a few pieces of red-hot charcoal under the oven, and the Little Huo Grilled Fish officially opened!
The oven that Tang Ya got was not particularly large. Huo Yuhao could grill four fish at a time. With the meticulous spiritual detection of his spirit eyes, his grilled fish level was among the best in the entire Douluo Continent.
After a while, a light oil flowed from the golden-yellow herring, and the rich and fragrant aroma of the grilled fish gushed out. This was the best way to advertise, and many people gathered in front of the grilled fish stall.
A Shrek student in a yellow school uniform couldn't resist the temptation and bought one. When he took a bite, there was a slight crackling sound when his teeth touched the grilled fish. Obviously, the fish skin was completely roasted and crispy.
After tasting it, he gave a thumbs up repeatedly and wolfed down the grilled fish in two or three bites.
Everyone was smart. Seeing this scene, they understood everything. They rushed to line up one by one, and they were bound to grab a grilled fish today!
This made Huo Yuhao very happy. At first, he was a little worried that his grilled fish would not be popular and disappoint Tang Ya's expectations, but it turned out to be unnecessary.
A long queue formed in front of Xiao Huo's grilled fish. Huo Yuhao grilled it very seriously. He knew that quality was the key to the long-term flow of customers, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.
Grilled fish came out one after another, and soon there were only four grilled fish in the last oven. Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and wrapped the two fish reserved for Tang Ya. The successful completion of the work was just around the corner.
"Junior, how much is the grilled fish?"
A soft female voice came into his ears, Huo Yuhao looked over and saw a graceful and beautiful girl standing in front of him.
The moment he saw the girl's face clearly, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be stunned. The most beautiful opposite sex he had ever seen were Ning Tian and Tang Ya. The former had a sense of elegance and luxury in her bones, like the bright moon hanging in the sky, and the latter was pure and lively, like the free wind blowing freely in the wilderness.
But this girl was completely different from the two of them. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, long hair in big waves behind her head, a rabbit ear headband on her head, a face like jade, flowers and trees piled with snow, eyes like a pool of clear water, and a kind of elegant and graceful temperament.
Especially the tenderness and gentleness in her eyebrows, which made Huo Yuhao feel the urge to comfort her.
"Senior, grilled fish is five copper soul coins a piece."
After all, he was a man who had seen the world. Although he was stunned for a moment, it was only a second. Huo Yuhao immediately came back to his senses and replied.
"It's a bit expensive. Considering the cost and processing, you can sell it for three copper soul coins at most, and you can still make a profit."
The girl's voice was as gentle and warm as her appearance, like the spring breeze blowing through the willow branches, rustling. If she hadn't been bargaining, Huo Yuhao would have really immersed himself in it.
"Sorry, senior, my grilled fish has a fixed price."
Huo Yuhao tried his best to maintain a calm. The price of grilled fish was set by Tang Ya, and he didn't want to change it easily. He also felt that this price was fair. If it was really sold for three copper soul coins, he could just open his mouth and drink northwest wind.
"Sorry, I just calculated it casually. I'm sorry to bother you, junior brother. I will definitely try it next time I have a chance."
The stunning girl didn't expect that her bargaining skills would fail. She smiled and apologized to Huo Yuhao, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"The last two fish, we are so lucky, Junior Brother!"
A female voice of joy sounded behind her.
"Boy, do you dare not sell it?"
At this moment, a deep and rich male voice full of anger suddenly exploded, and then a golden light shot straight towards Huo Yuhao's stall.
"Ding——"
The golden light accurately hit the oven and embedded itself completely. It turned out to be a gold soul coin.
A figure strode over. This person was wearing a black Shrek Academy uniform. He was about the same age as the girl, tall, with thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. There was a trace of baby fat on his face.
He quickly passed the stunning girl and came to Huo Yuhao's stall, raising his hand to grab the grilled fish on the oven.
The girl was so angry that the rabbit ears on her head stood up, and she said angrily: "Xu Sanshi, what are you doing!"
Xu Sanshi had learned to selectively ignore the girl's scolding over the years. Huo Yuhao rushed over to stop him, but he dodged it with a flash. He picked up two grilled fish and said with a playful smile:
"Nannan, I'll buy you grilled fish!"
Suddenly, Xu Sanshi, who was paying great attention to the goddess, felt that his clothes on the back of his neck were grabbed by someone. He was actually lifted up bit by bit. He hurriedly tried to use his soul power to resist, but found that his soul power seemed to be dissolved by something and could not be used at all.
"Who! What are you doing!"
Xu Sanshi was a little flustered, dancing helplessly in the air, like a drowning man struggling to save himself. He turned his head and looked behind him, and then saw a handsome face that made him sweat instantly.
"Big brother... Big brother!"
Xu Sanshi wanted to cry but had no tears. His body stopped struggling and fell straight down as if he had accepted his fate.
"Oh, it's you, kid." Ling Bai smiled kindly, "You are very brave, you got the upper hand over me."
Hearing this, Xu Sanshi's heart sank, one word: send!
