Not only were the spicy crabs a hit, but the crayfish were, too. The customers were full of praise for the two dishes as the fragrance wafted even throughout the streets.
It attracted the people walking along the street outside. That day, the kebab shop’s business was more prosperous than usual. Su Wenwu could only imagine how well his shop would do in the near future. “Sister, these dishes are a hit!”
Su Binglan explained, “That’s because of how tasty and excellent these ingredients are. The crab meat is juicy, and the crayfish are big. The seasoning is crucial, too.’
She even taught her brother the secret recipe for the seasoning. Afterward, Su
Wenwu would only have to sell the two dishes in his shop. He said,
“Expanding this shop won’t be a problem with these two dishes.”
No one could imitate these dishes because only Su Wenwu and Su Binglan knew the recipe. Moreover, only Su Wenwu could get crabs and crayfish.
Su Wenwu thought his sister and brother-in-law would be tired after such a busy afternoon. After entrusting his employees to handle the shop, he took Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an to his house.
Su Wenwu explained, “This is the three-room house 1 bought when I moved here. I thought I would need extra rooms for when you guys visited. Although it’s hotter here than in the north, you can visit many fun places here.
“The food culture is different here, too. I know you like places that are close to the village, Sister. There’s one further east from here with mountains and rivers. ”
Su Wenwu even had housekeepers in his house. “Feiran hired her trusted housekeepers to work here. They’ve prepared your room for you so you can have a good rest. You must be tired from traveling so far.”
Su Binglan said, “You’ll probably be even busier in the next few days. You can handle your shops first. Jin’an and I will take a walk once we’ve rested. Try not to tire yourself out and leave some work to your subordinates, okay?”
Su Wenvvu nodded. “l know, Sister. Still, the restaurant will be swamped with the new spicy crab and crayfish dishes. I’ll settle them in a few days.”
He had his own way of doing things and could handle various things in the shop with ease.
“By the way, Feiran will be back tonight. She went to visit her family yesterday and said there was something she needed to deal with there. Don’t worry about her, Sister. She can handle everything. It’s just that her family holds monthly meetings.”
Su Wenwu bombarded his sister with many things, and she had a rough understanding of the situation. Afterward, he returned to work while Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an rested.
Even so, the couple did not feel tired during their journey. That was because they would rest along the way. They also took their time cherishing the scenery and local cuisines.
Su Binglan felt like she was on vacation, but she knew she and her husband had serious business to attend to once they reached the south.
Su Binglan told her husband, “l think we should try to investigate the Ye family’s forbidden sector. Maybe we’ll find something important.”
Luo Jin’an said, “Prominent families usually don’t have forbidden sectors.
Even if they do, they wouldn’t guard it so strictly. That means there’s something up with the Ye family’s forbidden sector.”
Su Binglan turned solemn, asking, “Shall we head there tonight?” “It’s better if we wait for Feiran and ask her more about her family.”
“You’re right. We must know what the house layout is like and where the forbidden sector is.’
After making plans, the couple took a short break. Later that evening, they prepared to stroll around the streets. Su Binglan wanted to look around to see the local customs, so her husband followed along.
The streets were downtown, with rows of shops on either side. Many people were out shopping that evening. Su Binglan noticed the food indeed seemed different from what she was used to.
Suddenly, she saw a bun and walked over to ask, “Madam, what is that?”
“These are egg custard buns,” the older woman replied with a smile, “Do you want to try one?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Sure, I’ll take two.”
She bought one for herself and one for her husband. Moreover, the buns were cheap, costing only three coppers each. Luo Jin’an paid for them, and Su Binglan handed him one.
Su Binglan took a bite as she walked. She raised her brows and said, “It’s so tasty! It’s different from what we have back home. Try it, Jin’an.”
Luo Jin’an revealed a gentle smile when he saw his wife’s happy expression. He then took a bite of the bun, even though he was not that hungry. Su Binglan looked at him expectantly, asking, “So, what do you think?”
“Indeed, it’s delicious.” Luo Jin’an nodded.
Su Binglan smiled. “l want to pack some and send them home for the others to try.”
She saw a courier office as she strolled the streets, so it was convenient to send things to her family back home. She also saw plenty of food stalls along the streets. “Look, there are rice cakes and rice balls, too!”
Since there were many local cuisines to choose from, Su Binglan would buy whichever ones she liked. Luo Jin’an helped to carry the food, and Su Binglan ate while strolling around smilingly.
“I thought our village had unique pancakes, but I didn’t expect to see more unique ones here.” Su Binglan could tell the locals did things differently and put different fillings in their food. She was impressed by the locals’ creativity.
Luo Jin’an and Su Binglan heard many people discussing Su Wenwu’s kebab shop.
“Did you hear? Su Family’s Kebab has released two new dishes.”
“They have new dishes again?”
“Yeah, we should hurry up and try them, especially since they have a discount on the first three days.”
“What are the new dishes?”
“Spicy crab and spicy crayfish. There has been a long line outside the shop since noon. Everyone is eager to try the two new dishes.”
“Quick, let’s go have a taste.”
People ran to the kebab shop, wanting to try the new dishes..
