Hard work after winning the lottery

Uncle Li Ye's resounding "Let's eat!" was like a battle cry.

The first to respond was not the three hungry babies, but rather the usually honest and taciturn Uncle Huashi.

He grinned, revealing a simple smile, and unceremoniously reached out and tore off the largest piece of lamb leg.

The meat had a golden-brown, crispy skin that looked incredibly appealing, like glass.

A "click" sound.

The crisp sound was still clearly audible amidst the noisy crowd.

The sound alone made everyone present involuntarily swallow.

Hua Shi stuffed the meat into his mouth, and his eyes widened instantly.

His chewing motion first paused abruptly, then sped up several times over, as if he were savoring some unparalleled delicacy.

"How's it going, Brother Shi?" Uncle Man asked anxiously from the side.

Hua Shi swallowed the meat in his mouth with force, his expression a mixture of shock, satisfaction, and disbelief.

He held it in for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out two words:

"Absolutely amazing!"

This is the highest praise.

With Uncle's example set, the others could no longer contain themselves and gathered around.

"I'll try these lamb chops!"

"This lamb tenderloin looks the most tender!"

In an instant, knives, forks, bowls, and chopsticks flew together, and exclamations of praise and chewing sounds intertwined to create a most moving symphony.

Hua Yun didn't rush to eat it herself. Instead, she carefully tore off a small piece of the tenderest pork tenderloin, blew on it repeatedly until the heat dissipated, and then carefully offered it to her three sons.

"Come on, babies, try your great-uncle's cooking."

The three little gluttons couldn't wait any longer, so they opened their little mouths and each took a small bite.

The moment the meat entered their mouths, the eyes of the three little ones lit up simultaneously, like light bulbs that had been turned on at the same time.

After finishing his meal, the eldest son, Hua Si'an, pursed his oily lips and nodded emphatically to his mother, his little face beaming with delight.

The second brother, Hua Sile, was the most exaggerated. While chewing, he gave Li Ye a thumbs-up, mumbling, "Uncle! Great!"

The third child, Hua Sitao, was the most direct. After taking a bite, he immediately brought his little mouth close again, like a fledgling waiting to be fed, opening his mouth wide and urging his mother to take another bite.

Looking at the children's pure and contented smiles, Hua Yun felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely at the celebratory banquet.

Seeing everyone's love for roasted whole lamb, Hua Yun became even more convinced that this business was viable.

The imperial secret recipe, which was purchased at great expense, truly lived up to its reputation.

The roasted whole lamb has a crispy, fragrant skin that crackles easily with the slightest touch.

The lamb inside is incredibly tender, with the juices locked inside the meat fibers, making every bite a feast for the taste buds.

What's most amazing is that the whole lamb has absolutely no gamey smell. Instead, it has a complex and unique aroma of herbs and spices, which is rich, fragrant, and has a long-lasting aftertaste.

This successful trial operation gave Huayun boundless confidence.

That night, she didn't rush to rest.

She carefully selected and edited the photos she took during the day, striving to capture the color and texture of the roasted lamb to the fullest extent in each one.

Then, she logged into the back-end of Xishan Muyun's online store.

She wrote a heartfelt message for her long-time customers and released a preview of the new product.

"Thank you all for your continued support of Xishan Muyun. From a single sheep to a flock of sheep, it has taken us three years. Today, we would like to invite you to taste a unique flavor from Xishan. By Baixi Lake, 'Xishan Muyun Roasted Whole Lamb' awaits you for a culinary rendezvous."

Following that, she contacted several well-known local travel-related WeChat public accounts.

She posted nine pictures on her WeChat Moments.

The caption is very simple:

"Our lamb tastes even better when roasted. Congratulations on your grand opening! Welcome to try our food."

The news spread like wildfire overnight.

The next day, the roast lamb restaurant officially opened to the public.

Huayun's opening trial price is extremely attractive, almost selling at cost price.

What she wanted wasn't the profits from the past few days, but a good reputation.

The first group to be attracted were those young tourists who had been drawn in by the aroma during the trial operation.

They drove here specifically after seeing a post on a travel-related WeChat account.

"Boss lady, is this the place? We smelled it yesterday, it smelled so good we couldn't sleep all night!" a boy wearing a baseball cap said with a smile.

"Yes, this is it." Hua Yun warmly welcomed them inside. "We've reserved the best spot for you, right in front of Baixi Lake."

When a whole roasted lamb was served, the visual impact made several young people exclaim "Wow!" in unison.

Its golden, glossy color shimmers with a captivating light under the sun.

The rich aroma, like an invisible hand, seized everyone's appetite.

"Don't just take pictures, try some!" Li Ye personally cut the first plate of meat for them.

The boy picked up a slice and carefully put it in his mouth.

The next second, his eyes widened suddenly, and his chewing stopped.

His companions looked at him anxiously: "How is it? What happened?"

The boy didn't speak, but silently and quickly picked up the second and third slices... He didn't even have time to answer.

His actions are the best answer.

Upon seeing this, his companions immediately got to work.

"Oh my god! This crust is so crispy! It's like a potato chip!"

"The meat is so tender! Not dry at all, and so juicy!"

"What kind of heavenly taste is this? Compared to the whole roasted lamb I've had before, this is like two completely different species!"

"Boss lady, your lamb is absolutely amazing! It doesn't have any gamey smell at all!"

Praises were endless.

They even forgot to talk, focusing only on battling the delicious food.

After the storm had passed, the group slumped in their chairs, rubbing their round bellies, their faces bearing the same satisfied expression.

Without saying a word, the boy in the baseball cap picked up his phone, took a picture of the messy table, and started editing it for his WeChat Moments.

"The best whole roasted lamb you have to try in your lifetime, bar none! This roasted lamb restaurant in Baixi Village is amazing. If you don't like it, come and hit me! Trust me, go check it out!"

Reputation, like a pebble thrown into a lake, spreads out in ripples.

In the following days, the reservation hotline for the roast lamb restaurant was practically overwhelmed with calls.

Hua Yun's mobile phone, which is specifically used to receive orders, rings non-stop from morning till night. Often, before one call is even finished, the next call comes in.

At first, people were just curious and want to try it out.

But once they've tasted it, without exception, they become the most loyal repeat customers.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire.

The whole roasted lamb at Xishan Muyun has become incredibly popular, attracting an increasing number of tourists.
