He took a few more bites, which seemed far from enough. With each grain of rice entering his mouth and being chewed, the fragrant and delicious taste of the egg mixed with the flavor of the vegetable oil and rice grains, making its way down his throat, causing Mr. Wang to hum in satisfaction.
Eating this egg fried rice was simply a pleasure!
"Absolutely worth it! This is the best rice I've ever eaten, ten coins are definitely worth it! It's too worth it!"
Mr. Wang praised with a smile, giving Chen Feng a thumbs up. Today, he was truly convinced of Chen Feng's culinary skills.
Who would have thought that an unremarkable Wu Dalang had such excellent cooking skills!
Ten coins, it really wasn't expensive at all!
Before eating, he thought Wu Dalang was overpricing. If it wasn't good or worth the price, he would have been somewhat disdainful. One shouldn't lose their principles for money in business. However, after eating, he had nothing to say; the fried rice was indeed delicious and completely worth it.
[+3 Shock from Mr. Wang]
[+4 Joy from Mr. Wang]
"Is it really that good?" someone nearby asked.
"I'm not lying to you, try a bowl yourself and you'll know!"
"Alright! Mr. Wu, give me a bowl!"
"This... it's a bit expensive, but I'll try it too, give me a bowl!"
As more and more people ordered, Chen Feng immediately got busy. For him, cooking a bowl was very quick.
As long as he cooked ten bowls, he would earn a hundred coins, at least eighty coins in profit.
This was all about the skill. After all, no one in Yanggu County could cook like him.
When these customers ate, none of them were disappointed. They were immersed in the taste, their faces filled with enjoyment.
"Too delicious, Mr. Wang wasn't wrong, this is the best fried rice I've ever eaten!"
"Simply amazing, golden egg fried rice, and it tastes so good?"
"Amazing! If I could eat such fried rice every day, life would be a pleasure!"
"Ah, it's just that we can't afford it, ten coins a day, how much do I earn in a month..."
"I'll eat egg fried rice every morning, the rice is really great..."

[+3 Emotion]...
In a short time, Chen Feng gained eighty emotion points.
Much faster than before.
Chen Feng was overjoyed and worked even harder.
Pang Jinlian, who was busy nearby, looked at Chen Feng with an indescribable surprise in her eyes.
The Wu Dalang she married actually had such good culinary skills...
If she hadn't seen so many people praising it on the spot, she would have found it hard to believe. Even the pot helmet, tea eggs, and egg fried rice, and even the steamed buns that people bought on the spot, were all said to be delicious, making the shop's business very prosperous. Those without seats even stood at the door, eating and chatting, praising Mr. Wu's food as delicious.
Pang Jinlian also realized that her Dalang seemed different from others...
The shop's business was booming early in the morning, with all six tables fully occupied, and many people queuing up at the door.
Everyone wants to eat delicious food, and the key is that it's affordable. Although it was a bit expensive, as long as it was delicious, there would never be a lack of customers.
After the morning rush, they took a short break. By lunchtime, more customers came, and even in the afternoon.
After the evening rush, Chen Feng closed the shop.
People need to rest after a busy day.
After Su Er and the others left in the evening, Chen Feng and Pang Jinlian closed the shop and counted the money in the room.
Copper coins were piled everywhere. After counting, Pang Jinlian's face was filled with excitement: "Dalang, after deducting the cost, we have 1,100 coins left, that's one tael and one coin a day!!!"
Pang Jinlian's breathing quickened! Even without the extra coins, one tael a day, thirty taels a month, and over 360 taels a year?
That was a considerable amount of money! How many businesses in Yanggu County could achieve this?
Nearby small shops couldn't possibly earn so much.
Earning a few taels a month was already considered good, and her Dalang earned thirty taels a month?
She had never seen so much money before. Even when she was at Lady Zhang's house, she never saw money. Now that her Dalang's shop was doing so well, Pang Jinlian realized that good days were coming for their family.
Chen Feng smiled: "Not bad! When the business grows bigger, it won't be just this much!"
"Dalang, this is already a lot, I'm content with this much!" Pang Jinlian's face was filled with joy. Although Wu Dalang was a bit short and unattractive, earning money could cover many shortcomings. Despite the lingering issues in her heart, her mood had improved significantly.
Chen Feng nodded; one tael a day was indeed a substantial income.
Moreover, the most important thing was that he had gained 260 emotion points today, which could be exchanged for two attribute points, with some left over.
"Let's add more strength!"
Pang Jinlian continued counting the money, even though she had already counted several times. Chen Feng opened the system panel and started adding points.
[Point addition successful, Strength 45 + 2, current Strength: 47 points]
[Combat Power: 247 catties]
Seeing these numbers, a burning sensation surged within Chen Feng again, as if burning his muscles and body, causing his strength to increase once more.
An average person's strength of 100 catties was considered normal, but Chen Feng's punch was nearly 250 catties, far beyond what an ordinary person could withstand.
Moreover, his physique was much stronger than before.
Even if several people came, Chen Feng was not afraid at all.
Chen Feng planned to continue increasing his strength.
The money earned was all handed over to Pang Jinlian to manage.
In the following days, the shop remained very busy.
Su Er, Yun Ge, Chen Feng, and Pang Jinlian were all busy. Chen Feng was busy making pot helmets, tea eggs, and steamed buns in advance, while they assisted him.
Sometimes they couldn't help but admire Dalang; although it seemed simple to make each item, the taste was something that ordinary people couldn't achieve.
Yun Ge and Su Er had a certain admiration for Mr. Wu.
During the day, Yun Ge and Su Er were often busy delivering food, running outside. Many shopkeepers and merchants ordered breakfast and lunch from here.
Wu Dalang's business was booming.
Meanwhile, in Qinghe County.
At Lady Zhang's house.
After Lady Zhang drove Pang Jinlian away, Master Zhang often drank tea alone, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
Pang Jinlian, that beautiful young lady, actually married that dwarf Wu Dalang.
Master Zhang was a thousand times unwilling, but his wife was too fierce, and he was afraid of her, so he could only watch helplessly as Pang Jinlian married Wu Dalang.
If Pang Jinlian had been willing to stay with him, Master Zhang would never have let her go, but she saw him as a tiger and told Lady Zhang herself.
Master Zhang thought that since she was unwilling, he would let her marry Wu Dalang and live a hard life, so she would know the consequences of not following him.
In other words, Master Zhang hoped that Pang Jinlian would live a hard life, making her realize that not following him was a huge mistake.
However, recently, when he sent someone to inquire in Yanggu County, he found that Wu Dalang's life was getting better and better, and his business was thriving. He didn't know what he was doing, but the customers were very satisfied.
This was something Master Zhang hadn't expected.
At that moment, he was drinking tea in the courtyard when a servant came over: "Master."
Master Zhang, with his slightly plump face, narrowed his eyes, picked up the tea but didn't drink it, and whispered, "Wu Dalang's business is doing well recently?"
"Yes, Master. Wu Dalang's pot helmets and egg fried rice are very tasty, so his business is booming! Does Master have any instructions?" The male servant observed Master Zhang's expression, knowing that he wouldn't be pleased to see this.
Others might not know, but the Zhang family had heard about it. Master Zhang liked Pang Jinlian, who married a dwarf and was doing better and better. Master Zhang definitely wouldn't like it. It was just a matter of what instructions he would give.
