Qin Dalong couldn’t believe it and proceeded to eat another piece.
Although he had enjoyed the delicious fish soup the day before and knew that Qin Zhenzhen had a talent for cooking, the soup contained meat, while the pancakes were packed with vegetables. The fact that vegetarian pancakes could taste so incredible was beyond belief.
“Zhenzhen, did you make these pancakes yourself, or did your sister-in-law help?” Qin Dalong inquired.
Qin Zhenzhen pouted playfully. “I made them all by myself! But Su Ning’s taste is just as good as mine!”
Qin Erlong also took a second bite, unable to contain his praise. “They’re incredibly delicious! I almost bit my tongue earlier!”
An auntie who had come to purchase pork burst into laughter, unable to stand straight.
“You two brothers, if you want to compliment your sister, there’s no need to be so exaggerated. I almost choked on my laughter when I first heard it. Are you trying to make me laugh?” she exclaimed.
Qin Dalong replied earnestly, “Third Auntie, we’re not exaggerating. The pancakes truly are this tasty. If you don’t believe me, you can give them a try!” With that, he handed her a piece of pancake.
Third Auntie initially hesitated, not wanting to accept the pancake. However, the irresistible fragrance enticed her taste buds. “How can I accept this? It’s as if I’m purposely saying this just to get a free one.”
Qin Dalong laughed. “To be honest, my sister fried these and put them up for sale. If you find them delicious, you can help spread the word. But if you don’t like them, that’s fine too.’
Third Auntie lived in town and had a wide circle of acquaintances. If she spread the word, more people would come to buy Qin Zhenzhen’s pancakes.
“If this is your first attempt, then I’ll give them a try,” Third Auntie agreed.
Upon hearing Qin Dalong’s words, she accepted the pancake and began to eat.
A look of astonishment adorned Third Auntie’s face. She hadn’t expected much from the pancake, but she couldn’t deny its incredible taste.
“What are the ingredients?”
Qin Zhenzhen shared, “It’s a mixture of eggs, flour, vegetables, garlic sprouts, salt, and water.”
“That’s impossible!” Third Auntie exclaimed, finding it hard to believe.
“How can such simple ingredients create such delicious pancakes? They’re even better than meat pancakes!”
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “So, Third Auntie, you’re saying the pancakes are genuinely tasty?”
Third Auntie took another bite and nodded. “They’re incredibly delicious! I’ve never had pancakes this good before. How much does one pancake cost?” Qin Zhenzhen responded promptly, “They’re not expensive, just 2 wen each.”
“Do you have any available now? Give me 20 pieces. I want to share them with my husband, children, well, the entire family.”
Being well-off, a few dozen wen wouldn’t break the bank.
Qin Zhenzhen was pleasantly surprised. “Certainly, please wait a moment. I’ll get them for you right away!”
Haha, the first customer was a significant deal!
What a fantastic start!
Those who didn’t know might assume that Third Auntie was being paid to promote the pancakes.
Qin Zhenzhen hurried to the back of the store and shared the exciting news with Su Ning and her brother.
There were a man and a woman buying pork, and they glanced at Third Auntie in a peculiar manner, thinking that she was intentionally acting as a promoter.
Being straightforward, Third Auntie noticed their misunderstanding and asked loudly, “Do you think I’m being paid to advertise?”
Though they disagreed with the insinuation, their expressions betrayed a hint of doubt.
Third Auntie grew anxious and exclaimed, “Qin Dalong, stop eating and give them the last piece. Charge them 2 wen. I’ll show them that I’m not being paid to do this!”
Qin Dalong chuckled and handed the final pancake to the two individuals..
