TFWYH – Chapter 84 Big Profits

Everyone took their first bite, and instantly their faces lit up. Then they bent their heads down and dug in.

Was it really this delicious?

That was it—no one could sit still any longer. One after another, they filed into the shop.

In just a short while, the tiny shop was nearly bursting at the seams.

Madam Jiang, Ling Yue, Li Dashan, and Ling Sheng were all busy running around, while Tang Wan set up a small table at the entrance, laying out one paper-wrapped packet after another.

For a while, the little shop was filled with only one kind of sound:

“So fragrant—is this really pig offal? How could it taste so good?”

“Savory, tender, melts in your mouth—and the broth goes perfectly with rice. I nearly swallowed my tongue!”

“Boss lady, how on earth did you make this?”

“Uh?” Madam Jiang was still bewildered.

Ling Yue stepped in smoothly, teasing with a smile: “Now that’s a dangerous question, sir. This is a recipe passed down in my family—I have to make a living from it. If you like it, just come back often to support us.”

“Haha! This little girl really knows how to talk!”

The shop was absolutely bustling!

When some customers left after eating, they noticed the packets of beef jerky Tang Wan had laid out and asked what it was.

“Beef jerky, one hundred wen a pack.”

The moment Tang Wan said the price, a tall skinny young man nearly jumped. “One hundred wen? Why don’t you just—”

“Try it,” Tang Wan cut him off, handing him a small piece.

Try it? Why not—free sample, after all.

The skinny young man popped it into his mouth, and his eyes lit up at once. He immediately pulled out his purse.

“Give me two packs.”

“Alright!” Tang Wan took the money, handed over two packs, and added, “No worries if you don’t finish it—keeps for a year.”

“Then give me another pack!” the man quickly added.

Others who saw this also pulled out their purses.

“I want a pack too.”

“Me as well!”

…

Sure enough, just like the Doctor once said—no human could resist beef jerky!

In no time, Tang Wan’s stock had already shrunk by several packs.

When Tang Hongba arrived with his two sons, the three of them were stunned by the sight.

So many people!

The shop was so packed they couldn’t even squeeze in.

Inside, Madam Jiang and the others were working nonstop, barely able to catch their breath.

So in the end—

The three of them, who had only come to eat, were roped into helping!

With everyone working together, the braised dishes Ling Yue had prepared were soon completely sold out.

Some latecomers who had rushed over after hearing the news were frustrated, even scolding Ling Yue for being stingy in business and not preparing more.

Not only were the braised offal dishes sold out, but more than ten packs of Tang Wan’s beef jerky were gone as well.

At one hundred wen a pack, it was considered pricey.

Plenty of people had wanted to try it, but the steep price scared them off.

Tang Wan, however, wasn’t worried. Beef jerky could be stored long-term—buy it or don’t, up to them!

Finally, after they closed the shop, Ling Yue set aside some braised intestines and braised heart-and-lung for Tang Hongba and his sons.

At first, the three men were hesitant. But after tasting it—

Well!

It was delicious.

“Never thought that—er, that intestines—could be made like this,” Tang Hongba admitted.

Tang Tianyang agreed: “Exactly! This tastes way better than pork meat. We were so foolish before, tossing out so much offal.”

“This is Ling girl’s secret recipe,” Tang Tiansheng said, glancing at Ling Yue, who was smiling as she finished counting the money. Curiously, he asked, “Made a lot today, didn’t you?”

“Mhm, mhm, mhm!” Ling Yue said excitedly. “We sold over three taels of silver’s worth of pig offal, and more than one tael from beef jerky!”

“That much?” Madam Jiang was startled by the number.

Ling Yue nodded, handing her the money box. “Here, Mother, count it yourself.”
