Chapter 151 Zhao Gao
The market manager didn't stop him; he was more curious about what the green-shelled eggs would look like when fried. If they were really golden brown as the young man said, he'd definitely have to try them.
The owner of the small restaurant was a straightforward man. Seeing that Li Mu and his group wanted to have eggs fried on the spot, he immediately brought over a few small tables and stools, and even took the initiative to help them promote the dish: "Come on, everyone, come and see! This is something new! Green-shelled eggs fried on the spot! If you don't like it, you don't have to pay!"
Tian Xiaohu pulled Li Jianjun aside and muttered, "Why do you talk such big words without batting an eye? What if it doesn't turn out golden brown?"
They hadn't tried it before either, and Li Jianjun wasn't really sure himself, but he said confidently, "What are you afraid of? Our eggs are definitely special, they'll be golden brown when they're fried, just you wait and see!"
As they were talking, the oil in the pan was already hot. Li Mu skillfully poured the beaten egg mixture into the pan. With a "sizzle," the egg mixture quickly expanded, coating the golden yolk and emitting an enticing aroma.
With a little water added and the heat carefully controlled, the eggs gradually solidified. After a few stirs, some cooked rice was added, along with a handful of chopped green onions. A plate of delicious and visually appealing scrambled eggs was ready.
The golden scrambled eggs glistened enticingly in the sunlight, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"Wow, it really is golden yellow! This color is so beautiful!"
"The aroma is so strong! I can smell it from this far away. It must taste delicious!"
"Give me a few! I also want to try the taste of these special green-shelled eggs!"
The burly men who were looking for trouble were so angry they gritted their teeth, and they actually put the eggs on them! Why could these peasants sell such good stuff?! They watched resentfully as the crowd grew larger and larger, all surrounding Li Mu's stall, eager to buy those green-shelled eggs.
One of the burly men rolled his eyes and an idea came to him.
He quietly slipped to the edge of the crowd and shouted, "How can anyone eat these green eggs?! They might be poisonous! Eating them could kill someone! Please don't fall for this!"
This statement stunned the crowd who were about to pay for the product; they hesitated and slowed down.
Li Mu inwardly cursed; this burly man was clearly doing it on purpose, trying to sabotage their business.
He had a sudden inspiration and said loudly, "Don't listen to him! Our eggs are absolutely fine! I just cooked a plate for you all, and they're golden brown and smell amazing. How could they be fake?! If you don't believe me, try this plate of scrambled eggs and see how they taste!"
"Dad! I want to eat!"
A chubby little boy standing in the inner circle tugged at his father's clothes, his eyes fixed on the plate of golden scrambled eggs, his mouth practically watering.
The child's father was wearing a jacket, had a briefcase tucked under his arm, and wore gold-rimmed glasses; he looked like a cultured man.
His attire made him quite conspicuous in the crowd, and the chubby little boy persisted, "I want to eat!"
He let go and reached for the plate of scrambled eggs.
The child's father, Zhao Feng, grabbed him by the collar and scolded, "What are you doing?! Stop drooling! We haven't bought anything yet, what are you going to eat?!"
The little boy burst into tears: "I want to eat! I want to eat this golden scrambled eggs! Daddy, don't you love me anymore?! Waaah..."
The child's crying completely baffled Zhao Feng, and the people around him began to cast strange glances at him.
Zhao Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Li Mu, "Young man, how much are your scrambled eggs? Could you give me a plate? My son is really craving them."
Li Mu was delighted to see a customer enter and quickly said, "You really know your stuff! My scrambled eggs are fifteen yuan a plate, and the eggs are all our own special green-shelled eggs. If you like them, you can buy some to take home and fry them yourself. They'll definitely be even more delicious! We guarantee that you and your children will want to eat more of our eggs!"
Unable to bear his son's constant nagging, Zhao Feng had no choice but to buy a plate of scrambled eggs.
"Are you going to eat it now or take it to go?"
The child's mood changed quickly. Seeing his father pay, he grabbed the scrambled eggs and sat on a small stool, eagerly starting to eat. The golden eggs melted in his mouth, filling the air with fragrance. The chubby little boy ate with great relish, his lips smeared with oil.
"Hey! Eat slowly, don't choke!" Zhao Feng reminded him from the side. At the same time, he also became very interested in Li Mu's scrambled eggs, picked up his chopsticks, took a small piece and put it in his mouth.
The aroma of the egg burst in his mouth instantly, with a delicate texture and a lingering aftertaste. Zhao Feng couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
"Delicious! These scrambled eggs smell amazing! Your eggs are really good, how did you raise them?"
His wife had made fried rice many times, but this was the first time Zhao Feng had ever tasted such delicious fried eggs. Before he had even taken a few bites, the chubby boy had already licked the plate clean and was staring at Li Mu's stall with lingering interest, wanting to have another plate.
"Dad, I want more."
"You want a hammer? You want one!"
Zhao Feng smacked his lips, savoring the taste. His son was a picky eater, often refusing to eat, but today he was won over by a plate of scrambled eggs. His gaze towards Li Mu became fervent: "Young man, these eggs are a bit pricey, but they really taste good. Could you save some for me? I'll buy some to take home for my wife to try."
Upon hearing this, Li Mu knew the business was promising and quickly nodded, "Alright! Please wait a moment, I'll decorate it for you right away."
As he spoke, Li Mu skillfully picked up a few green-shelled eggs, carefully put them into a plastic bag, and handed them to Zhao Feng.
"One egg for one yuan, take it! I guarantee you and your family will want more after you try it!"
Zhao Feng took the eggs, paid for them, and then looked at the green-shelled eggs on the stall. He said to Li Mu, "These eggs are really special. I've been browsing the market for so long and I've never seen eggs of this color before. Your breeding methods must be quite unique, right?"
Li Mu smiled and nodded: "Of course, our eggs are laid by green-shelled chickens raised using traditional methods. They eat whole grains and no hormones or antibiotics are added, so the eggs have a particularly good color and taste."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng's eyes flashed with surprise: "Traditional methods of raising chickens? There aren't many people who still insist on raising chickens using traditional methods these days. Your green-shelled chickens are really well raised, and the eggs they lay are so delicious."
The onlookers were already envious. Seeing how much the child was eating, they thought of their own money-devouring children and little devils at home, and they all asked Li Mu about the price of the eggs.
"One yuan each! Twelve in a box! Twelve yuan a box! Come and buy, everyone! Limited quantity, first come first served!" Li Mu took the opportunity to shout, and Tian Xiaohu and Li Jianjun also helped to greet customers. For a time, their stall was very lively and crowded.
