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

Zhao Gou rushed straight to the front; heaven knows, that piece of meat was so tempting to him.

Behind him, a group of students surged toward the door, looking as if they were possessed by a gluttonous beast.

Only Zhou Wentong walked slowly behind, looking on with amusement.

"Where's the stall? Where's my braised pork rib stall?!" Zhao Gou shouted in a loud voice, his scholarly demeanor instantly diminishing.

The students rushed over to take a look, and good heavens, the area in front of the academy was completely empty. There wasn't even a trace of bone left, let alone any braised pork bones.

"Oh no! The stall is gone!"

"I wish I had bought it earlier, I regret it so much."

"The stall owner isn't not coming, is he?"

The students looked disappointed, scratching their heads in frustration.

Li Shun bit his lower lip, feeling even more regretful.

During the day, he was the first to ask for braised pork ribs; if it weren't for his image, he would have eaten them long ago.

The bone had been passed around in the classroom, and although it didn't reach him, it definitely smelled delicious.

I shouldn't have hesitated.

Zhou Wentong glanced at it and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Serves you right for being so high and mighty. Now look what happened, the stall owner just left."

"I bet they're sold somewhere else. You guys are just not lucky enough to get your hands on them, tsk tsk tsk."

"I ate my fill of braised pork ribs today, the taste was absolutely amazing!"

He smacked his lips as he spoke, wearing a smug expression.

Zhao Gou, who had always been at odds with him, retorted, "Hmph, if the stall owner doesn't come tomorrow, you won't get to eat either. What's there to be smug about?"

This left Zhou Wentong speechless.

Yes, how could he forget that?

I should have asked Madam Shen if she was coming tomorrow, or even just where she sells her products.

Left with no other choice, the students could only return to the academy with empty stomachs.

Each of them secretly hoped to see Shen Qing's stall the next day.

......

Another day filled with wonderful aromas.

Shen Qing opened the system early in the morning. The purchase limit for ingredients today was still 200 servings, unchanged.

It appears that the purchase limit will only increase if all the food is sold out at the designated location.

Shen Qing purchased another 200 portions of braised pork ribs ingredients and started making them just like yesterday.

After stir-frying the sauce, add the pork bones. Soon, the aroma fills the air.

"Sister Shen!" Zhao Wan's voice came from outside.

Shen Qing knew at a glance that Zhao Wan had come by smelling the aroma.

She smiled and said, "It'll be quite a while before the braised pork ribs are ready today. You're early."

"Oh my, it smells so good, I can't sit still!"

Zhao Wan jogged over to the pot, a mischievous smile on her face, clearly overjoyed.

She took a few deep breaths, squinted her eyes slightly, and showed a comfortable and relaxed expression on her face.

After enjoying herself for a while, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Sister Shen, are you still going to set up a stall at the academy gate today? My brother said there aren't many people around the academy."

"Of course I'll go."

Shen Qing answered firmly, and Zhao Wan did not ask for the reason.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Shen, your cooking is so good, don't you really want to consider opening a shop?"

Yesterday, she brought braised pork ribs home. After her father finished eating the ribs, he licked his fingers again and again, and finally sighed, regretting that Shen Qing didn't have a shop.

If I could have a shop, business would definitely be great.

Although her father did secretly want to get involved and gain some benefit.

But in doing so, Sister Shen's income will increase, and more people will be able to taste Sister Shen's cooking skills, which is a win-win situation.

"As for the shop, I don't have that idea for now. Let's talk about it when the time is right," Shen Qing said honestly.

She really had no idea what to do with it. After all, the rewards for completing the system tasks were huge, much better than simply doing business.

Zhao Wan didn't press the matter further: "Alright, but Sister Shen, whatever decision you make, I'll always be your most loyal admirer!"

puff-

Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud; Zhao Wan's appearance was truly adorable.

After chatting for a while, the braised pork ribs were ready. Zhao Wan bought some more to take home, hoping to use the delicious food to persuade her family to agree to her moving out.

As usual, Shen Qing pushed his cart to set up his stall.

It's still at the entrance of the academy, in the same spot.

The difference was that before she even arrived, Shen Qing could already see many people in the distance.

"Look, it's Madam Shen!"

"Madam Shen has really come to the academy gate! That's wonderful! My long wait was worth it!"

"Great! I absolutely have to have braised pork ribs today!"

"..."

A commotion arose, and the crowd cheered and jumped for joy, their excitement evident.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Qing realized that the visitors were none other than the familiar faces from the Ghost Market.

She set up her stall, lit a fire, and the sauce in the pot bubbled and steamed, its aroma spreading far and wide.

"Everyone line up, one by one," she said calmly, maintaining order as before.

The crowd hurriedly lined up, each one filled with anticipation, their mouths practically watering.

"I want one!"

"Two!"

"Madam Shen, I want one too!"

"..."

The aroma, along with the noise, wafted into the academy.

In class, Master Zheng was lecturing when suddenly his nose twitched. He heard the commotion and his brows furrowed instantly.

The constant drooling in his mouth made him extremely annoyed.

Indulging in gluttony is wrong, and as a teacher, he should set an example, but unfortunately, his body betrayed him.

"That's too much, really, that's too much!!" Old Master Zheng threw his book on the table, his beard bristling and eyes wide with rage.

The students below remained silent, but they were all filled with anticipation.

This tastes like braised pork ribs!

The braised pork ribs actually arrived!

Great! I definitely have to eat this today!

The sound of swallowing saliva echoed repeatedly in the classroom.

"Such noise and such a strong smell at the entrance of the academy, what kind of behavior is this, what kind of behavior is this!" Master Zheng's voice rang out again.

"Zhao Gou!" He called on his favorite student, "You come with me, let's go out and chase that vendor away!!"
