But now, what can we do?

Qian Zhijie slurped up the remaining tofu pudding in his bowl, the spicy, fresh, and savory flavor lingering richly in his mouth.

Especially with the preserved mustard greens, it’s quite remarkable. Eating them alone is just so-so, but mixed with the other ingredients, they add both saltiness and a crispy texture, making it extremely delicious.

Zhang Xiaobin noticed his hesitation, "Master, if it’s too much, we don’t have to eat it! I think two bowls of tofu pudding are enough already!"

Just as Qian Zhijie was about to nod and agree, giving himself a way out, Zhao Ming, sitting next to him, righteously said, "We’ve already eaten two bowls of tofu pudding anyway, what if it’s not enough? Let’s eat these rabbit heads too, for sure that’s enough!"

Zhao Wenping recalled the day Qian Zhijie had given him a thicker jacket for mountaineering, feeling a bit sentimental.

To be honest, if it meant taking two hits now, Zhao Wenping would definitely do it for Qian Zhijie without a second thought.

But the situation is different now. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

If Qian Zhijie hadn’t had those two bowls of tofu pudding, Zhao Wenping would have been willing to eat from start to finish.

But since Qian Zhijie had already had the tofu pudding, switching people now would mean all the effort was for nothing.

He had no choice but to tentatively suggest, "If it really doesn’t work out, maybe we can just do a quick test later, then take food samples back to have a specialized test tomorrow."

Qian Zhijie hesitated a bit.

Before he could decide, Zhao Ming leaned forward and decisively said, "No way! You guys have no idea, that little owner just got here the second day, already making a gross income of at least forty to fifty thousand. If we delay a day, he scams the public for another day!"

Qian Zhijie looked at this whistleblower somewhat puzzled.

Come on, man, why are you more anxious than I am?

It’s not that Qian Zhijie didn’t want to eat rabbit head, but its surface was covered in visible red oil, the strong aroma mixed with spiciness was completely different from the tofu pudding’s spiciness earlier.

Without even tasting, just by the smell and appearance, you could imagine how spicy this thing is!

Yet, here we are.

Qian Zhijie nodded, "This comrade has a point. I think another rabbit head should be enough, and anyway, it’s about time we checked."

Zhao Ming happily offered Qian Zhijie a pair of disposable gloves and considerately asked, "Do you know how to eat it?"

Qian Zhijie took a deep breath, "I do."

He grabbed the rabbit head, brought it to his mouth, as if making some tough decision, and decisively tore off bits of skin and flesh.

Hiss...

Almost as soon as the meat touched his tongue, it went numb, but strangely, despite the numbness, he could still taste the flavor!

Qian Zhijie slowly chewed, and his mouth began to burn painfully.

Even his brain was slightly foggy from the spiciness; for someone who’s had a mild diet growing up, this flavor was lethally spicy!

Qian Zhijie took another bite.

His face, initially flushed, began to relax, as he surprisingly found that the spicy tingling sensation eased significantly with this second bite?

Not only that, but his mouth could even appreciate the wonderful flavor enclosed in the juice-filled meat strands.

"Interesting!"

Qian Zhijie no longer faced the rabbit head like an enemy, but rather, wanted to explore further.

He quickly tore off and ate the skin and flesh, finding it increasingly enjoyable as he went.

Once there was not a trace of meat left on the surface, Qian Zhijie split the rabbit head open, saw the juice dripping down his fingers, and quickly stuffed half the rabbit head into his mouth.

"Slurp~"

He sucked furiously on the juice inside the rabbit head.

At first, Zhao Wenping and Zhang Xiaobin were worried something might happen to Old Qian eating like this, but seeing Qian Zhijie’s expression now, did he seem to be suffering?

He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it!

"Master, is this thing really tasty?" Zhang Xiaobin was driven to swallow several times by the sound of Qian Zhijie sucking the juice, his stomach growling.

Qian Zhijie mumbled incoherently, neither claiming it was tasty nor not, just kept pulling apart the bones of the braised-so-soft rabbit head and gnawing off the meat with his teeth.

Awesome!

As the rabbit head bones on the table piled up, the rabbit heads in the plastic bag dwindled.

After gnawing all five rabbit heads in over ten minutes, Qian Zhijie finished, and as he chewed on the last bone, instinctively reached into the bag and found it empty.

"Hey, nothing left?"

Zhao Ming, knowing exactly how delicious this stuff was, seeing Qian Zhijie like this, firmly said, "How’s that, just like I said, right? This stuff is definitely addictive, once you start eating, you just can’t stop!"

Qian Zhijie opened his mouth wide, inhaling air as if that could slightly ease the spicy heat in his mouth.

With nothing left to eat, the spicy sensation came flooding back like a beast, so intense he couldn’t even speak to respond to Zhao Ming.

Qian Zhijie pointed behind him, and Zhang Xiaobin sensibly went to ask the owner for a disposable cup.

These cups are meant for holding fried skewers.

"Master, are you going to pee in that here?"

Qian Zhijie glared at him while sniffling, snatching the cup as he left the small table stall.
