Xia Jin grabbed a handful of skewered squid and pressed it on the iron plate with a 'sizzling' sound, and the scent of the squid came out.
When the squid is slightly charred, add the sauce prepared by Xia Jin, turn it over several times and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
"What kind of fragrance is this!"
People were attracted one after another, and then more and more people gathered around.
"Give me a bunch!"
"I want to try it too, it's so fragrant!" Everyone swallowed hard.
Xia Jin told everyone not to worry, put the grilled squid skewers into paper cups, and distributed fifteen squid skewers each. After turning them, they were all sold out in a short time.
Next is beef skewers, duck intestines, chicken gizzards, crispy bones...
No doubt, this is definitely a must-eat snack when shopping! As a senior foodie, Xia Jin knows foodies thoroughly.
Sweets are not as delicious as meat. We Chinese people love meat just right, not too much or too little, but absolutely not without it.
But when it comes to sweets, most of them are only in moderation.
Even if you eat sweets, the only compliments you give to sweets are "not sweet," but they are delicious.
It can be seen that we Chinese people are not paranoid about sweets in our bones. We may like them, but we definitely don’t eat a lot at one time.
But for this kind of teppanyaki skewers that are full of color and flavor, but you can’t get enough in one bite!
That simply can’t be stopped!
After a while, Xia Jin's stall was surrounded by people.
Some people even lost their temper because they didn't get it.
On the second floor of the teahouse, Lin Ziyi looked at the situation below and said with a smile: "It seems that she can win without my help, general."
Mu Gugu swallowed his saliva and said, "General, this smells so good. Can I go down and get some?"
"Go!" Lin Ziyi waved his hand and motioned for him to go down and get it.
Seeing that the general agreed, Mu Gu hurriedly walked downstairs.
"Bring me one too!" Lin Ziyi reminded.
Mu Gu chuckled and shouted, "Okay!"
After saying that, he ran down happily and rushed into the crowd. After a while, two cups came to him.
He took one cup by himself and handed the other cup to Lin Ziyi.
"General, please try it!"
Lin Ziyi took it, picked up a squid skewer and took a bite. His mouth was filled with juice. The fresh fragrance of the squid and the sweet and spicy sauce exploded in his mouth, mixed with the aroma of cumin and chopped green onion. It was so delicious that it was intoxicating.
!
After a while, the bottom of the cup skewer was gone, leaving only the shiny stick.
"How about I go get some more?" Apparently, Mu Gu didn't eat enough either.
Looking down again, Xia Jin's stall was already scattered because she had finished all the skewers she had prepared!
Looking at Dongmen Qian opposite, although the popularity is good, it is still far behind Xia Jin.
Qu Linjie saw this scene and snorted coldly, "Send someone to take away all the rice crackers from the second boss!"
This kind of operation is carried out every year, and he has already cleared the door. Anyway, he only needs to tell Dongmen Qian that the food has been eaten first.
He is very familiar with this kind of behind-the-scenes operation!
On the second floor of the teahouse, Lin Ziyi saw this scene and frowned.
"Don't think about eating yet, bring some people with you and stop everyone Qu Rongjie brought!"
"yes!"
Mu Gu trotted all the way down, and when the people pretending to be diners were about to come over, they were blocked by the people Lin Ziyi brought.
Seeing that Xia Jin's ingredients were gone and the squid he had cooked was also taken away, Dongmen Qian was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Where are the people who made arrangements in advance? Why haven't they come yet?"
"I don't even know!" the servant said tremblingly.
Dongmen Qian's head was covered in hot sweat. If he continued like this, he would definitely lose. Then wouldn't the expensive stuffing he spent so much effort on making be a waste?
I gave advantage to those unscrupulous people, but I didn’t make any money!
What a loss!
He was thinking like this, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. When he saw Qu Rongjie not far away, he walked over quickly and asked: "Didn't your father say that we have made arrangements in advance to ensure that everything is foolproof? Why haven't you done it yet?"
Come!"
"I don't know either. I've obviously made arrangements!" Qu Rongjie was also worried. The people he sent out haven't come back yet.
A gong sounded, which meant the food festival competition was over.
Dongmen Qian had to go back to his stall. Compared to other stalls, much more of his rice pops had been taken away. The remaining portion was actually only a hundred or so, and there were only fifty or sixty more people.
Finished.
However, Xia Jin’s stall didn’t have any left, and they all finished eating!
Therefore, this time, he lost!
The judge for this competition was Mr. Liao. He took a look at the calculations and finally the gong sounded.
"The winner is... the Food God Hall!"
"This is what everyone has been waiting for! Because this sizzling squid is so delicious!"
"I'm still not satisfied!"
"Will you make it in your store next time? I still want to eat it!"
Obviously, no one has any objection to this result.
Dongmen Qian looked at Xia Jin who was surrounded by people and felt red in the face. He was so impressive just now, but now he is so embarrassed.
I’m so full of strength that I can’t afford to lose now!
He threw down the stall angrily and turned around to leave!
Xia Jin glanced at her and the two happened to look at each other. She waved her hand to say hello, but Dongmen Qian blushed with anger and got on his luxurious carriage and left.
"we won!"
"Won!"
There was a burst of cheers in the Food Hall, and Xia Jin looked at everyone.
"The competition is over, let's go to the temple fair to our heart's content!"
After Xia Jin announced, everyone cheered happily. The food festival is mainly a festival to celebrate the arrival of autumn.
Later, it gradually evolved into a cooking competition, but in fact the real highlight was tonight's temple fair.
After closing the door, Xia Jin and Siji Zhang's mother went to the temple fair together. The streets were filled with various gadgets and snacks.
Xia Jin stood in front of a jewelry stall and picked up a hairpin.
The other hand picked it up first.
Xia Jin turned around and looked, stunned for a moment.
"General?"
"Like it?" Lin Ziyi asked.
Xia Jin looked at the glazed hairpin in his hand. This glazed hairpin was not very valuable, but the color was very beautiful and it was made into the shape of a little rabbit. It looked very cute.
Xia Jin likes cute things very much and is naturally irresistible to cute things.
"General, can you give it to me?"
Lin Ziyi raised his thin lips, and the soft orange-red light from the lantern shone on his face, making this smile beautiful.
"How much silver?" he asked.
"This is a fine glazed jade rabbit hairpin. You two are very discerning. Just give me five taels of silver." said the stall owner.
Lin Ziyi took out the silver and handed the hairpin to Xia Jin.
"give you!"
Xia Jin's eyes lit up, "Give it to me!"
"What, you don't like it?" He took it back with a gesture.
Xia Jin quickly reached out and grabbed it, "I like it, who says I don't like it!"
This rabbit was crystal clear and very cute. Xia Jin fell in love with it at first sight!
She started playing with the hairpin, touching the rabbit on the hairpin with her fingers, flicking her long eyelashes, half-covering her smart and clear eyes, raising a beautiful arc on her red lips, and printing a shallow smile.
