Huang Fatty, whose real name is Huang Long, is the rentier of a few nearby shops. He has plenty of free time and some wealth, and he likes to pass the time at Bai Jing Small Shop now and then.
But recently, he noticed that the small shop has become popular.
Not in the typical sense of 'popular'. The consumer traffic hadn't significantly increased, but the number of 'fat sheep' had greatly increased, making it unreasonably popular.
Can you believe a single dish costs the equivalent of a year's rent for one of his shops?
The key ingredients aren't anything like dragon's liver or phoenix marrow, but rather common items like boiled vegetable leaves and roasted mushrooms. Yet, ever since the three 'shills' that night, people have been coming every day to taste these exorbitantly priced dishes, and everyone seems quite content, unbothered by the price. It's bizarre!
Particularly Cheng Feng, who initially ordered almost all of the daily special dishes every day.
