Xiuxian Food Stall, a Hot Spot as Soon as It Opens

Chapter 251 Pure-hearted Cockroach, Hot and Spicy

Having long been accustomed to the gazes of others, Lu Wu calmly took out the signboard and hung it up.

The inscription reads: "Pure-hearted cockroach, fiery hot."

Insect Feast Grand Sale: Choose any three types for 100 spirit stones.

The system continues to function stably.

【…】

As we all know, cockroaches, nicknamed "the unkillable little strong ones," are not only incredibly resilient and highly nutritious, with their protein content being three times that of beef, but they also possess certain medicinal value.

One of the ingredients in a well-known Kangfuxin liquid comes from Xiaoqiang.

Some people have even put cockroaches on the dinner table, and Lu Wu has seen the corresponding recipes in cookbooks.

Lu Wu's conscience prevented her from selling cockroaches to customers, but using cockroaches as a signboard for this stall was still very useful.

"Girl, what are you..."

Beside the stall, an old man stared at the sign for a long time, unable to understand its meaning, and chose to ask Lu Wu for help.

"Grandpa, I'm here to set up a food stall."

As they spoke, Lu Wu placed several deep platters on the stall, all covered so that the food inside could not be seen.

A faint aroma of oil wafted out, making the old man sniff it.

It's quite fragrant.

Seeing the old man's interested expression, Lu Wu decided to strike while the iron was hot and reveal the secret in one fell swoop.

Lu Wu lifted the lid, revealing perilla leaves garnishing the food. The food was oily and crispy, with an overpowering aroma, but this could not conceal the fact that the food was actually a bunch of insects.

"hiss!"

The old man gasped, took several steps back, and looked horrified.

"Girl, you're not joking, are you?"

Eating insects?
They're treating him like a dead person.

Seeing that the old man's face had turned even paler, Lu Wu dared not speak loudly, for fear that the old man would faint.

"I'm not kidding, these things taste pretty good."

"Crunch!"

"Sir, would you like to try it? The first one is half price!"

Lu Wu made a guarantee and even offered a discount as an incentive, but the old man shook his head violently in response.

"No, no, I need to see the doctor later, so I can't eat anything."

A sneaky glance revealed the grasshopper's compound eyes looking somewhat unseeing in death; another glance revealed its swarming, twisted bodies.

The old man dared not look any longer, and took a few more steps away, trying to distance himself from Lu Wu.

This girl is wicked.

The old man's inability to avoid the situation left Lu Wu deeply moved.

Could it be that patients in the Qingyuan Realm also have a rule against eating before seeing a doctor?

If that's the case, we can't force the elderly to accept it.

Lu Wu glanced at the other patients.

It's unclear whether Lu Wu's gaze possesses some kind of magic, but wherever she goes, everyone avoids her gaze. With no obstruction, Lu Wu can't find a single lucky person who dares to meet her eyes.

Despite the large number of people, the insect feast was so potent that the already pale-faced patients wanted to stay far away from it.

A bad start.

Just as Lu Wu was wondering whether she should eat a serving right there to show these people, her gaze swept across the crowd and found a familiar face among them.

Lu Wu's eyes lit up.

She remembered that the man's name was something like Xu Gu. He was one of her regular customers and had eaten a lot of delicious food with her, so he should be able to accept things fairly well.

If Xu Gulai had given everyone a stern warning, this business might have been able to succeed.

“You, yes, it’s you, Xu Gu.”

As soon as Lu Wu called out, he saw Xu Gu, as if startled, quicken his pace in retreat.

ha?
Lu Wu sighed helplessly. "Are eating insects really that scary?"

Xu Gu is feeling very uneasy.

Yesterday, after Qin Zhan, Lou Xiaotian, and the others announced Boss Lu's location, a large number of diners arrived in Tianyi City. However, Tianyi City is vast, and with so many places, they couldn't determine in a short time where Boss Lu would respawn. Currently, many people are still searching for Boss Lu in Tianyi City like headless flies.

But he took a different approach.

At a certain cost, they managed to find out the exact location of Boss Lu's stall today from Lou Xiaotian.

He was initially quite pleased with himself after seeing Boss Lu appear.

But after the food was presented today, Xu Gu understood why Lou Xiaotian was so easy to talk to.

Xu Gu wasn't the type to indulge in exotic tales; the thought of eating these insects sent chills down his spine.

He had intended to slip away quietly, but little did he know that Boss Lu had such sharp eyes.

"Hey, why are you running?"

Xu Gu froze on the spot at the slightly displeased words from Boss Lu. He wondered what would happen if Boss Lu made things difficult for him later if he ran away.

Or, use one act of courage to pave the way for a smooth future.

The thoughts in his mind struggled, but Xu Gu finally hardened his heart and turned around.

"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence, we meet again."

He greeted us with a smile, but his facial muscles twitched slightly, making his smile seem insincere.

"It's a coincidence."

Lu Wu clicked her tongue. With such a death-defying look, one might think she was going to poison the other person.

Since a brave man has come knocking, Lu Wu certainly won't refuse.

"One, please?"

Lu Wu asked, gently poking at the insects with the shovel in her hand.

The sound of the hard shells colliding made Xu Gu chuckle dryly and reply, "Okay, one order, please."

"Is there any variety you'd like to try?"

"These, from left to right, are bee pupae, grasshoppers, silkworm pupae, and bamboo worms. Don't worry, they are all fresh. There will never be any old, dried-up, or mummy-like items."

Produced by Luwu, quality guaranteed.

Lu Wu, determined to build a business based on word-of-mouth, exuded confidence that failed to sway Xu Gu.

These words are even more frightening, Boss Lu.

"I'm fine with either, Mr. Lu, you can help me choose."

Once he'd made that promise, Xu Gu couldn't take it back, so he could only secretly pray that Boss Lu would be gentler with him.

"okay."

With the diners having given their opinions, Lu Wu could proceed with confidence and boldness.

"You're a regular customer, and the first customer to set up this stall this time. We agreed that the first person gets half price, and we'll give you an extra one so you can try all four."

This benefit was so great that Xu Gu gently wiped away the tears of emotion from the corners of his eyes.

One spoonful, two spoonfuls, fill it all up.

The deep-fried insects bumped around in the bowl, quickly spreading out the surface. Lu Wu stopped regretfully.

It's rare for me to want to pamper my diners, but I don't have the space to do so.

"Hold on tight, you can get a replacement if you drop it."

Lu Wu was so considerate; she immediately dispelled Xu Gu's idea of ​​pretending to stumble and then spilling the things on the ground.

"Taste it."

Under Lu Wu's signaling gaze, Xu Gu looked at the bowl full of insects, stuck one on a bamboo skewer, and then, with trembling hands, brought it to his mouth.

"You really want to eat this?"

"It's not a big problem, anyway, Doctor Jiang is inside."

Someone was talking quietly.

In their view, this so-called Boss Lu was not here to set up a stall with integrity at all; he probably just wanted to create a gimmick to attract the attention of the disciples of the Divine Doctor Hall.

In previous years, quite a few people have used sensationalism to cut in line for medical treatment.

In a nearby alley, Qin Zhan and the others peered around, looking at Xu Gu with unanimous sympathy.

Fortunately, this good brother arrived in time, otherwise they would have had to go up and become the warriors.
