Then he swept his gaze around and, seeing the students around him looking at him as if he had gone mad from wanting money, called out, "Seniors, don't think my grilled fish is expensive. In fact, it isn't expensive at all. If I weren't trying to earn my tuition, I wouldn't have come out here to set up a stall."
"The secret recipe for this grilled fish was passed down in my family. In the past, it was an imperial recipe used by the royal family. Only the emperor could eat it."
"The secret recipe is made from eighty-one different spices. The cost of that alone is dozens of Gold Soul Coins. In the past, you definitely couldn't have bought this for less than a thousand Gold Soul Coins. Now, because I need money, I'm practically selling it at a loss."
"So you won't suffer a loss, and you won't be cheated. Right now, it's a clearance sale. First come, first served. Supplies are limited, so seniors who need it should buy quickly."
Han Yu said it with a face full of temptation. Red light flashed in his eyes as he directly planted a psychological suggestion in the watching students' minds, a suggestion that it was absolutely worth far more than the price.
After Han Yu's persuasion, it was already obvious that some of the students were tempted, but the price was too high, and for a moment, they found it hard to make up their minds.
He still needed one more push. A faint smile appeared at the corner of Han Yu's mouth, and he nodded toward a certain corner.
"Is that so? Who knows whether what you're saying is true? What if you're trying to trick us?"
Just then, a deep, powerful voice rang out.
A fat man with a huge build pushed through the crowd and squeezed his way in with difficulty.
The fat man had a trace of arrogance on his face as he said to Han Yu, "Allow me to introduce myself. I come from the Gourmet Family of the Heaven Dou Empire. I've eaten countless rare delicacies in this world. Everyone can tell just by looking at my figure."
The surrounding students quickly sized up the fat man's body, which was twice as plump as an ordinary person's, and believed him a little more. With a build like that, if he were not someone who loved fine food, there was no way he could have grown into it.
Seeing this, Han Yu pretended to be angry and said, "Trick you? How could that be? If you don't believe me, you can try it. The first one is free, and the second is half price."
Hearing this, golden light flashed in the fat man's hand, and he said proudly, "Then give me two. A mere fifty Gold Soul Coins is nothing to me. If it isn't good, I'll smash your stall."
When the surrounding students saw this, they all nodded.
"Right, gourmet brother, you try it first and see whether it's worth it."
"Fine. Then let me test it for everyone first."
The fat man looked utterly righteous. Then he picked up two grilled fish, first waved them in front of several students beside him, and commented, "Let me evaluate it first. Look, in terms of appearance, this fish is still very good."
When the students saw the oil flowing over it and smelled the aroma, they subconsciously swallowed and nodded in agreement.
"The red and green complement each other, making it look extremely appetizing at first glance. I just don't know how it tastes."
The fat man gently bit down. His movement was unusually delicate.
The surrounding students secretly nodded at the sight. As expected of someone from the Gourmet Family. His attitude toward food alone was convincing, and their trust in him increased a little more.
Crunch, crunch!
A crisp sound rang out.
The fat man's eyes lit up. He could no longer be bothered to comment. He opened his mouth wide, and in just a few breaths, the two fish had been eaten into his stomach.
Then he revealed a satisfied smile all over his face, looking simple, lovable, and utterly harmless.
The surrounding students stared at him eagerly, waiting for his review.
The fat man seemed to remember something, and his expression turned solemn.
Seeing his serious appearance, the surrounding students hurriedly held their breath.
"This fish is extremely bad. You should leave. It's too awful. Even a dog wouldn't eat it."
Whoa!
As soon as the words fell, one student looked at the fat man with disdain and could not help saying, "If it wasn't good, why did you eat it with such intoxication and satisfaction? Are you a dog?"
The surrounding students were also baffled by the fat man's actions. Hadn't he just insulted himself?
Just as everyone was stunned, a student wearing a Yellow School Uniform quietly took out one hundred Gold Soul Coins and gently placed them in Han Yu's hand. He put a finger to his lips, holding it upright, signaling Han Yu not to make a sound.
Then he picked up a fish and bit down.
Crunch, crunch!
The familiar sound rang out again, and everyone turned to look.
The student in the Yellow School Uniform revealed the exact same expression as the fat man from earlier. At this point, how could everyone still not understand? They had been fooled.
The purple-clothed student at the very front gritted his teeth, took out the money he had originally planned to use to buy his girlfriend a gift, and diverted one hundred Gold Soul Coins from it. He shouted, "Junior, give me one."
Han Yu smiled faintly, quickly put away the Gold Soul Coins, and handed that student a grilled fish.
That purple-clothed student held the grilled fish as if he had obtained some rare treasure, his face full of excitement.
He walked to the side and bit down. The trace of heartache in his heart vanished. What girlfriend? Was she as fragrant as grilled fish?
With someone taking the lead, the students quickly reacted one after another and scrambled to hand over money. Very soon, the ten grilled fish on the barbecue stall were swept clean.
As for that fat man, no one knew when he had disappeared.
"It's too delicious. It's really too delicious."
The purple-clothed student who had misappropriated the money meant for his girlfriend's gift squeezed back in at this moment. Looking at the empty barbecue stall, he almost wanted to cry.
"Junior? There's none left?"
Han Yu smiled faintly, activated the Sharingan, picked up ten more grilled fish, and rapidly began grilling them again.
"Senior, wait a bit. They'll be ready right away."
His swift hands moved rapidly. Brushing oil and sprinkling seasonings were done in one smooth motion.
"My goodness, junior, your technique is way too awesome. I believe the origin of your grilled fish now. After eating your grilled fish, I don't feel like I lost out at all. Instead, it feels like I made a huge profit."
The purple-clothed senior stared with his mouth agape, secretly admiring him. At this moment, he actually began appreciating Han Yu's technique while chatting with him.
"Junior, is it ready yet?"
The students who had not managed to buy grilled fish were a little anxious now and could not help asking.
Those who could attend Shrek Academy were either rich or noble. Although one hundred Gold Soul Coins for one fish was a bit expensive, as long as it tasted good, there were still many people willing to pay.
Seeing this, Han Yu was slightly stunned. He had not expected the effect to be this good. His eyes rolled, and he sighed.
"All right, seniors. Today is my first time setting up a stall, so these are the last ten. I can only sell this many today. Otherwise, there won't be enough stock for tomorrow."
Han Yu emphasized the final two words heavily.
When everyone heard that, they also reacted. With so many people here, only ten people could buy one.
One fish, two fish.
Very soon, nine fish were bought up by the students at the front, and the students lined up behind them grew anxious.
A student with a face full of pimples roared, "I'll pay three hundred Gold Soul Coins! Junior, sell it to me."
"What? Are you deliberately raising the price?"
The students who had bought fish were unhappy. Those who had eaten it praised the flavor to the skies, and if they wanted to buy it again next time, it would cost three hundred Gold Soul Coins.
"What are you talking about? I have plenty of money. If you can't afford it, then get lost."
Pimple Student said with a face full of arrogance and disdain.
Then he came before Han Yu, his face piled with smiles. "Junior, what do you think? I can tell you're short on money too. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come out to set up a stall."
