Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 290 - 276: The Final Ingredient, Dimensional Suppression from the North (Part 3)

Chapter 290: Chapter 276: The Final Ingredient, Dimensional Suppression from the North (Part 3)

When the sign [Emei Tofu Brain: 7 Yuan] was hung up, Sister Zhang busily worked through the entire evening, only closing her stall after selling out all the ingredients.

So then...

Chen Mo slowly drove his food truck to the side of Construction Road, right across from Jia Mei Gym. Everyone knew whose spot it was, so they all tactfully left it empty.

Chen Mo drove from the street corner to the spot, "Oh, a few more food stalls have popped up, not bad."

It made Chen Mo almost not want to set up his stall and go grab a bite instead. One has to admit, there’s a lot of Sichuan snacks... Just now, walking from one end of Construction Road to the other, there were at least thirty or forty different snacks.

"Oh well, hang in there for one more day! Today, I’ll just sell one type of skewer."

In nearly ten days, Chen Mo had already sold out 19 types of ingredients, leaving just one last kind!

It’s crucial to make the most of the time, especially since after tonight Jiang Fei’s son would be on summer break, and Chen Mo needed to rush back to help with the promised summer camp picnic event.

The last ingredient, Chen Mo chose a bit cunningly.

"Hey, Boss Xiao Chen, you’re out here? How was that old friend I recommended yesterday?"

That Northeastern guy, ever since he tried Chen Mo’s grilled cicada pupae, would hit Construction Road at 6 every evening, rain or shine!

Yesterday, while Chen Mo was closing up, they were chatting about adding a new item, and the guy immediately recommended a kind of ingredient.

He strongly expressed that ever since moving to Sichuan five years ago, he had been tormented by this barbecue ingredient. He always wanted to eat it, but would retreat at the sight of the price.

Chen Mo thought it through, and the ingredient recommended by the guy was indeed feasible!

But his goal was to complete his task and sell volume, yet the sales pace for this ingredient was slow. So what to do?

Thus, Chen Mo learned and imitated the Chengdu barbecue practice, dividing the ingredient into 35!

What concept is this?

Efficiency increased 35 times!

"The ingredients flown in overnight are top-notch corn, no problem," Chen Mo thanked the guy and handed over a complimentary wheat juice, "I even came up with several flavors, maybe you can give me some feedback later."

The Northeastern guy took a swig of beer, waved his hand, "Your skills are pretty good, how could I be the one to give feedback? Just go for it then."

"Go!"

Chen Mo took out a large basin from the cabinet, inside...

The Northeastern guy glanced into the basin, paused for a moment, then shook his head with a self-mocking smile, and fixated his gaze on Chen Mo, "Boss Xiao Chen, I thought you were different from those barbecue stall owners, unexpectedly you also..."

Inside the basin, there were skewers of corn kernels strung on small bamboo sticks!

Last night, while discussing ingredients, the Northeastern guy expressed contempt for those southern folk who grilled corn by skewering every single kernel, selling the cheaper ones for 5 cents and the pricier ones for 1 Yuan!

Calculated together, a whole corn cob would sell for 15 to 20 Yuan, isn’t that absurd?

Chen Mo had promised the guy that if he were to grill, it would definitely be a whole cob.

Most northerners have eaten grilled corn before. In winter, on the streets, boiled corn goes for 3 Yuan, grilled for 5 Yuan, beyond that price, the stall would get flipped!

But now seeing this.

The Northeastern guy felt very disappointed, thinking Boss Xiao Chen would keep his word, only to find him choosing profit in the face of interest.

"Hold on a sec," Chen Mo smirked slightly, an evil hint in his eyes, "you haven’t seen the menu yet."

Following the cabinet work, Chen Mo took out the menu.

When the Northeastern guy’s eyes landed on it, his eyes bulged wide as if they wanted to pop out and be grilled by Chen Mo.

[Grilled Corn : 1 cent/skewer]
