The middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his voice a little, with surprise and hesitation on his face.

He often hangs out in this area and knows that a similar black carp in the market costs only about one copper soul coin.

After this processing, the price has increased tenfold? That's too expensive.

However, smelling the aroma of the grilled fish, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, struggled for a moment, and finally took out the copper soul coin from his pocket and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Okay. Little brother, give me one."

Huo Yuhao flipped the grilled herring over and continued to smear the sauce on it. He then asked, "Do you want it spicy?"

"Uh, a little spicy, just a little spicy is good." The middle-aged man responded quickly.

When Huo Yuhao handed a grilled herring to the middle-aged man, the eyes of the people in the queue behind him and the onlookers around him were involuntarily focused on the fish.

The fish skin, baked into an attractive golden color, is still covered with fat, and a rich aroma continuously gushes out from the cut in the fish belly, going straight into people's noses.

The middle-aged man took it impatiently, not caring about the heat, and took a big bite.

When the teeth touched the grilled fish, there was even a slight crunching sound. The fish skin was completely roasted and crispy, but there was no burnt smell at all.

After just one bite, the middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he didn't even bother to say a word of praise. In just a few bites, a large piece of grilled fish disappeared quickly in his mouth.

He smacked his lips in satisfaction and looked at Huo Yuhao again, his eyes pleading:

"Little brother, can I buy a few more? Your grilled fish is so delicious."

Huo Yuhao raised his head, observed the number of people in line, and silently estimated the number of blue carp he brought with him.

After comparing the two, he shook his head apologetically at the expectant middle-aged man and said:

"Sorry, we don't have much grilled fish left today, and there are still quite a few people waiting in line. If you still want to eat, you'll have to come earlier next time."

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, the middle-aged man showed obvious disappointment on his face. He could only sigh helplessly and turn away.

When the people in the queue behind saw this scene and heard the middle-aged man's evaluation, their faces were immediately filled with curiosity and anticipation. They stretched their necks to look forward, wondering how delicious this grilled fish was.

Afterwards, everyone who ate it exclaimed in amazement, saying that they had never eaten anything so delicious.

Just like that, in just a few days, through word of mouth among diners, the reputation of "Xiao Huo Grilled Fish" spread throughout the eastern district of Tiandou City.

Every day, before Huo Yuhao sets up his stall, there is already a long line of people coming to eat grilled fish.

However, Huo Yuhao has a limited amount of grilled fish every day.

Firstly, it was impossible for him to spend all his time grilling fish, and secondly, he couldn't take away all the business from the surrounding vendors.

After learning that the grilled fish was limited in quantity, the other vendors around secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, those who were attracted by the grilled fish but failed to buy it might try the things on their stall instead, so they could also get some credit.

A few more days passed like this.

Huo Yuhao was still working hard to grill the fish.

At this moment, a clear, pleasant, and slightly anxious voice sounded from outside the crowded crowd.

"Please make way, thank you! Please make way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure nimbly squeezed in from the gap in the crowd. It was none other than Jiang Nannan.

She saw the familiar figure of the young man behind the oven at a glance, her eyes immediately lit up, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and the anxious look on her face was quickly replaced by joy.

"Yuhao, I finally found you."

She has been looking for Huo Yuhao these days, but Tiandou City is so big that it is too difficult to look for someone aimlessly.

Until yesterday, she overheard passers-by enthusiastically discussing "Xiao Huo Grilled Fish", saying that the taste of the grilled fish was simply amazing and you would never forget it after having eaten it once.

Only then did she realize that it was most likely Huo Yuhao selling grilled fish.

Now I come over to take a look, and it is indeed so.

Now I can finally invite Huo Yuhao over and thank him properly.

"Sister Nannan, why are you here?" Huo Yuhao stopped what he was doing and looked at her in surprise. Then he asked with concern, "Is it about Auntie's illness? Is there anything else wrong?"

"No, no," Jiang Nannan waved her hands quickly, a grateful smile on her face, "My mom's illness should be almost cured. Thank you so much, Yuhao."

She walked over to Huo Yuhao, looked at him busy, and said, "Yuhao, let me help you too."

Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Nannan's expectant eyes and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth to say "don't bother".

"Then Sister Nannan, please help me collect the money for the grilled fish."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Jiang Nannan readily agreed and immediately stood behind the cash box next to the oven, ready to start helping.

Chapter 9 Precious Things

The warm morning sun shines on the streets and alleys of Tiandou City.

After having breakfast, Huo Yuhao walked on the busy street, preparing to go to the clinic.

He had made an appointment with Jiang Nannan yesterday to visit Jiang's mother again today.

It was also a good opportunity to check Jiang Nannan's mother's body again to see how she was recovering.

In the past few days, by selling grilled fish, excluding the purchase of charcoal, various seasonings, additional tables and chairs, and the stall fee paid to the city guards, I made a net profit of more than 50 gold soul coins.

Including the gold soul coins he had accumulated before, he now has nearly 150 gold soul coins.

This amount of money is more than enough to buy some rare metals for making a second-level soul guide.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's heart moved slightly.

Perhaps after checking Jiang's mother's health, it is time to find an opportunity to go to the Xingdou Great Forest.

Not only did he want to reunite with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, but most importantly, he wanted to see his teacher, Alex, again.

While thinking, Huo Yuhao did not stop and soon arrived at the ward where Jiang's mother was.

He knocked on the door gently and heard a slight sound coming from inside the room.

Then, a gentle and soft voice with a hint of mature charm was heard.

"Please come in."

Huo Yuhao gently pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was brightly lit, the windows open, and the morning breeze ruffled the plain curtains.

On the hospital bed, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure was wearing a light pink silk coat with a plain white lining underneath.

She seemed to have just gotten up and was leaning lazily against the head of the bed.

Unlike Jiang Nannan's wavy blonde hair, this woman had long, smooth hair that cascaded down like a golden waterfall, sparkling in the morning sun.

Perhaps because she had just woken up, there was a subtle blush on her face. Her golden eyes stared at Huo Yuhao who walked in without blinking, and her gaze was filled with the charm unique to a mature woman.

Jiang Nannan was sitting on a chair beside the bed, holding half a bowl of porridge in her hand, eating breakfast in small bites.

When she saw Huo Yuhao coming in, her eyes lit up and she quickly put the bowl in her hand on the table next to her. She stood up and walked quickly towards him with a genuine smile on her face.

"Yuhao, you're here, come and sit down."

She warmly invited Huo Yuhao to sit on another chair.

After Huo Yuhao sat on the chair, he turned his gaze towards the woman on the bed and said:

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Sister Nannan's friend, Huo Yuhao."

He noticed that after seeing him, the blush on Jiang's mother's face seemed to become more obvious, and her eyes became slightly evasive.

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and a little scared.

But on second thought, Jiang's mother had been taking tranquilizing medicine for several days in a row, so she shouldn't be affected by the power of the Golden Dragon King's divine core anymore.

Jiang Wanhua looked at the handsome black-haired boy in front of her, her heart filled with surprise and gratitude.

Before this, she had heard repeatedly about Huo Yuhao from her daughter Jiang Nannan, and knew that it was he who healed her.

But now that I have actually seen him in person, looking at his face which is even more childish than that of my daughter, I still find it a little hard to believe.

After all, his heart problem had troubled him for many years, but it was solved by a teenager who was younger than his daughter.

When Jiang Wanhua looked at the handsome boy in front of her with a bit of shyness and timidity, she seemed to have an inexplicable impulse in her heart.

A warm and familiar current continued to flow through her body, making her feel a wave of throbbing.

She secretly scolded herself in her heart:

"Jiang Wanhua, Jiang Wanhua, what on earth is wrong with you?"

She quickly gathered the chaotic thoughts in her mind and gave Huo Yuhao a gentle and warm smile.

"Yuhao, I've already heard about the situation from Nannan. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to come and recheck Auntie's body."

Hearing Jiang Wanhua's words, Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hand.

"Auntie, you are so polite. Sister Nannan is my friend, and I am very happy to be able to help her."

When Jiang Wanhua heard Huo Yuhao's answer, for some reason, a faint sense of loss flashed through her heart.

Is it just because of Nan Nan?

At this moment, Huo Yuhao smelled a very pleasant floral scent emanating from Jiang Wanhua's body.

I clearly didn’t smell this scent last time...

A hint of doubt flashed through Huo Yuhao’s mind, but he didn’t take it too seriously.

Instead, he carefully observed Jiang Wanhua's expression and smiled.

"Judging from your complexion, you should be almost fully recovered. But just to be on the safe side, please give me your hand so I can examine you carefully."

When Jiang Wanhua heard this, a look of joy appeared on her face and she quickly stretched out her hand.

Huo Yuhao collected his thoughts, closed his eyes, and began to carefully check Jiang Wanhua's physical condition.

Jiang Wanhua quietly looked at Huo Yuhao's serious and focused expression.

Although the boy in front of her was still young, for some reason he gave her an indescribable sense of security, and at the same time had a certain strange attraction.

The warm air in the body surged more and more violently, as if trying to break through some restraints.
