"Young man, young man, I want half a box, half a box! Please hurry and fill it up, I have other things to do." "Young lady, give me another dime! It's just too spicy, we can't handle it, we'll have to rinse it with water when we get back." Everyone was vying for it. But she had already run out of food. "Sorry, I didn't bring much this time. I can only fill two boxes at most, that's all," Shen Anlan said. The people around her looked disappointed. "Why is it all gone? It tastes pretty good." "Why didn't you make more? I want more." "I should have bought a whole box." To be honest, Shen Anlan hadn't expected it to sell so well. She only made one pot to test the waters. After all, she didn't know if the locals could handle it. But now, Shen Anlan watched as they, each with flushed faces and runny noses from the spiciness, still stared expectantly at her bowl, trying to siphon the food out of it. Shen Anlan had prepared the food yesterday, only to realize that the people here didn't seem to be able to handle spicy food. She had wanted spicy skewers yesterday, so she decided to make extra and see if she could sell them. In her past life, she was never short of money and never had the chance to sell anything herself. In this life, she was forced by circumstances to sell things to earn a living. "If you don't mind, I can come back after school this afternoon. I'll make more at home, and those who didn't get any can buy first."
