Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

"Really... edible... is it delicious...?" the servant stammered.

"Delicious! It's so delicious!"

Nangong Yao hurriedly pulled the oil paper package out of his pocket.

He doesn't accept anyone questioning how delicious the spicy strips are.

"You two have a taste." He took a spicy one, tore it in half, and handed it to the two servants.

The two servants hesitated for a moment before deciding to try it.

The young master has already eaten so much, what's there for the two servants to be so fussy about?

The moment the spicy strip enters your mouth, your entire oral cavity feels fiery hot. The red oil gushes out under the pressure of your teeth, and your tongue feels both numb and spicy.

"Ouch~ It's so spicy~"

"Wow~ It smells so good!!"

"It's oozing with oil, this is so delicious!"

The two servants' eyes lit up, their faces filled with surprise.

No wonder! No wonder the young master stopped eating. If they found this thing, they wouldn't eat either.

It smells so good!

"This would be delicious with a big steamed bun!" one of the servants couldn't help but exclaim.

In no time, the two finished their spicy snacks, licked their fingers, and then looked at Nangong Yao with longing eyes.

Nangong Yao quickly put away the oil paper package: "No, I'm keeping these for those little brats to try."

The two servants exchanged a glance and immediately began coaxing the child.

"My lord, please have pity on us today! The line is so long, we definitely won't get a turn. It's too painful to only get one bite!"

"Master, let's buy some for the other young masters tomorrow. We'll come with you tomorrow and buy more."

"Master, please, please have mercy on us servants..."

For a bite of spicy snack, these two adults were utterly shameless, saying all sorts of things.

Nangong Yao suddenly realized something.

Yes, he can bring more people to buy.

Since each person can only buy one, he can take two more people to the front and buy four at once.

Four portions are definitely enough to divide, so he doesn't need to be stingy.

This amount of spicy strips is really too little. To be honest, it would be a little embarrassing to give it to my friends.

"Okay." Nangong Yao handed over the oil paper package directly. "Here you go. Let's come early tomorrow to queue up and buy more."

The two servants were overjoyed upon hearing this; at that moment, all they could see and think about was the spicy strips.

We took the oil paper packets and started eating them one by one.

"Hiss~"

"So spicy! So spicy!"

He was sweating profusely while eating, but the expression on his face showed extreme enjoyment.

"Want some water? One coin a bowl!" the water seller called out as he came over.

The two servants looked up and asked in surprise, "Aren't you a wine seller?"

"It's just a wine vat, filled with cooled boiled water. Want some?"

"Yes, yes, yes!!!" The two nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Good news, the young prince didn't drink alcohol.

That's absolutely fantastic.

After drinking a large bowl of water, the two started eating spicy strips again.

There weren't many spicy strips left, less than half a portion, and the two of them finished them off in no time.

They carefully licked the oil off their hands, even tearing the oil paper package in half so that each of them could lick one half.

After they finished licking and enjoying themselves, the two of them became depressed again.

I was so happy eating that I forgot everything else.

But now that they've finished eating and their senses have returned, they realize they can't explain this to the princess.

"What should we do..." a servant said in a distressed tone.

Another servant glanced at Nangong Yao beside him, his eyes darting around, and said, "Master, we'll come with you to buy spicy strips tomorrow, but what if the Prince and Princess find out..."

Instead of trying to find solutions yourself, it's better to pass the problem on to someone with more power than yourself.

"Um......"

Nangong Yao pondered for a moment: "Bring a few more people to buy tomorrow, and bring some spicy strips for Father and Mother as well."

"Will it work? What if the prince and princess get angry? Our lives will be in danger..."

"Don't worry, you two. With me here, you definitely won't be punished."

Nangong Yao patted his small chest loudly.

The two servants were immediately relieved.

With the young prince's words, they felt at ease.

"Then tomorrow, Your Highness can say that you came across this rare food by chance. But please don't say that you've been eating it for several days, or we'll all be in trouble."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Nangong Yao said, looking like a little adult.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal that he had been eating it for several days.

He first needs to get his father and mother to love spicy strips so that he can eat them openly and legitimately, and the servants who serve him won't be punished.

......

There are 600 servings of spicy strips today.

The line was exceptionally long, and everyone was eagerly waiting.

Shen Qing's hands moved very quickly, packing the spicy strips one by one.

Most people just start eating right there on the roadside. The food is so delicious that they can't even hold it in their hands; they just want to eat it as soon as they have it in their hands.

The water seller made a lot of money today and plans to bring in more tubs of water to sell tomorrow.

The scene was quite lively, and everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.

This whole scene was witnessed by Mr. Jin, who lived upstairs next door.

He stood by the window, his small, squinty eyes filled with resentment and regret.

"The water sellers are all making money. What a pity, what a real pity!"

"If this spicy snack were sold at Jinquelou Restaurant, along with tea, it would definitely fetch a high price, and the other dishes would also become very popular."

Jin Ye's eyes were getting hotter and hotter.

"Is everything ready?" he asked in a deep voice to the corner of the wall.

There was a person standing in the corner, dressed plainly, so plain that he would be easily lost in a crowd.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jin, we've made thorough preparations. We'll wait until Madam Shen finishes selling her spicy snacks and goes to a secluded spot..."

"Don't leave any traces, and don't let anyone suspect us." Master Jin sat down, picked up his tea, and slowly sipped it.

He is a businessman, and a successful one at that.

In business, one must sometimes resort to unconventional methods.

Only in this way can one obtain huge profits.

Moreover, he had given Madam Shen a chance, but she herself did not cherish it.

Downstairs, Shen Qing quickly sold out six hundred servings of spicy strips.

There were many other customers around who hadn't been able to buy spicy strips, and they were all asking around, hoping to be able to buy them the next day.

But Shen Qing has already exceeded his target.

"Everyone, today is the last time I'm selling spicy strips here. You don't need to wait for me anymore."

She's no longer a novice at setting up a stall, and she remembers to tell customers when she's no longer selling.

This statement immediately caused an uproar among all the diners present.
