It’s a new day, and at around seven or eight o’clock in the morning, Huo Yuhao’s barbecue stall was set up.
Outside the east gate of Shrek City, there have always been many vendors specializing in student business, but at this time, one stall seemed a little more special than the others.
The stall is against the city wall, with a special long stove in front of it, which is enough to grill eight large fish side by side at the same time. Next to the stove are stacks of unprocessed herring.
There is a large deck chair at the back, and the entire stall is under an oversized parasol, so you are not afraid of the scorching sun or heavy rain.
There is a signboard next to it, with four vigorous and powerful large characters painted in iron and silver hooks written on it in thin gold - "Brother Hao BBQ".
These days, during the admission reporting time, there are not many people there in the early morning, but the flow of people will pick up in a few hours.
Huo Yuhao sat on the deck chair quite satisfied and glanced outside the city gate.
This is an excellent location he found. It has an excellent view. Everyone can look at it when entering the academy, and the fragrance can spread far away.
Unfortunately, the only drawback is that there is no fresh fish, and the cold chain logistics industry still needs to be developed.
Huo Yuhao took out the White Tiger Dagger and turned it flexibly in his hand. He felt that the time was almost up and began to prepare to deal with these herrings.
He grabbed a large herring that was more than thirty centimeters long with his left hand. He used his white tiger dagger with his right hand to make a quick slash on both sides of the fish's body, then scraped off all the scales.
Another knife was used to cut a small slit in the fish belly. The middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of the right hand were used to dig into the fish belly to take out all the internal organs. Then, a wooden skewer was used to pierce the herring, and then some seasoning was applied on the inside and outside of the herring.
A herring was processed in this way, with clean and neat movements, without any sloppiness, and the whole process did not take more than fifteen seconds.
Huo Yuhao put the processed herring on the stove and moved on to the next one.
But when he was processing the fish at the back, the grilled fish in the front would turn the wooden skewers from time to time to make it evenly heated. At the same time, Huo Yuhao has been using his meticulous mental power to observe the heat of the grilled fish, and uses cold air to control the temperature of the fire.
Grilled fish is the most helpful to Huo Yuhao's cultivation, because different parts require different heat.
Grilling eight fishes at the same time, although his hands were constantly moving and very busy, if you look closely, you can see that Huo Yuhao has always maintained a stable rhythm and is very orderly.
His stall is newly opened and has no customers yet, and it is not like other vendors shouting loudly to attract buyers.
Huo Yuhao believed that he would not be without business.
"These should be fine."
Huo Yuhao took out the grilled fish and put them aside, then sprinkled a handful of mysterious yellow-brown powder on them, and a rich aroma instantly hit his nostrils. This was the best advertisement.
The fragrance spread farther and farther, and the peculiar fragrance soon attracted a male student in yellow school uniform nearby.
He walked up and asked, "Junior, how do you sell this grilled fish?"
Huo Yuhao has now put on a white school uniform, so the other party will naturally recognize his identity.
He replied: "Senior, grilled fish costs five copper coins each."
"Then try one. It tastes so good to me." The student readily handed over five copper coins.
He was about to take the grilled fish when he suddenly heard a sound that was getting louder and louder. He quickly looked back towards the approaching sound.
"Ahhhh-Brother Huo, here I come!!!"
Before seeing the person, he heard his voice first, and with the excited shouts, the student finally saw clearly that the person who came was a young girl with a black ponytail.
"Huh? Tang Ya?" The male student recognized the other party.
"Isn't this Xu Bo? You are so polite." Tang Ya also recognized the other person. They were classmates in the same grade.
Since they were acquaintances, Tang Ya didn't take any notice of it, snatched the grilled fish from the student's hand, took a bite, and patted the student's shoulder carelessly.
"You actually invited me to eat Brother Huo's grilled fish. I will protect you from now on."
Male student: "...That's what I want to eat."
Seeing Tang Ya blatantly trying to force him to get something, the male student showed a kind smile, looked behind Tang Ya, gritted his teeth and said, "Beibei, can you take care of your Xiaoya!"
"Ahem... Xiaoya can't help it, all because Huo Xiaodi's grilled fish is so delicious. I'll take your share."
Beibei explained helplessly to the male student, and then looked at Huo Yuhao.
"Brother Huo, we meet again. I didn't expect you to actually open a shop in front of Shrek Academy. Xiaoya has been talking about your delicious grilled fish."
While Huo Yuhao was busy with the movements of his hands, he replied: "Brother Beibei, this is not a shop, it's just a stall."
Beibei smiled and said: "Just give us five pieces first. If we hadn't just finished breakfast, we would definitely have a good time at your place. Xiaoya, eat quickly."
Tang Ya said dissatisfied: "I'm not satisfied yet."
Beibei smiled bitterly and said, "We still have to prepare for the fourth grade exam. It's not too late to have a good meal after the exam is over."
"All right……"
After hearing this, Tang Ya had no choice but to finish her meal quickly and leave with Beibei.
Before she left, she reluctantly turned back and waved to Huo Yuhao.
"Brother Huo, wait for me——"
Seeing this situation, the surrounding students discussed.
"Then...isn't that Senior Perak Beibei?"
"He is about to break through the Soul Sect. He can jump to the fifth grade long ago."
"I heard that within two years, he will definitely enter the inner courtyard!"
The students were busy discussing, and while discussing, they turned their attention to Huo Yuhao.
This is grilled fish that even senior Beibei thinks is delicious. It must not taste bad, right?
Thinking of this, there were gradually more and more people around the barbecue stall.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile.
The effect of celebrity endorsement is indeed remarkable. In just a short time, his stall went from empty to crowded.
However, the large number of people also caused some problems.
Some students couldn't wait to say: "Give me two."
Someone next to me interrupted: "I was here first."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said: "Students, don't be impatient, there are still plenty of grilled fish, first come, first served, everyone has a share."
He knows that his brand is out.
…
It was busy from morning to around 1pm, and the fierce afternoon sun was scorching the earth. At this point, it was time to close the stall and rest for a while.
Huo Yuhao put the unprocessed herring into his belt and lay on the chair, calculating his morning's income, feeling quite unhappy.
It's not because I didn't make much money. I sold fifty or sixty grilled fish today, and I earned two or three gold coins for five copper coins each. Moreover, Huo Yuhao's purpose of selling grilled fish is not to make money, but mainly to practice. After all, how much money can such a stall make?
He didn't expect that someone would deliberately give less money. He had been busy grilling fish and had no time to accept the money, so he completely relied on the other party to pay voluntarily.
A dignified student of Shrek Academy actually committed such an act of cheating and cheating, and you, Shrek Academy, cannot escape the blame!
"You still have to find someone to handle the cashier."
Huo Yuhao doesn't care about money, but he hates this kind of behavior that takes advantage of him.
"Who are you looking for..."
After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao left the stall.
After a while, he brought back a little blond girl in a white coat.
"Tianmeng, can you help me take care of the stall?"
"Guaranteed to complete the task~"
