Waves of aroma spread out, and each barbecue skewer was completed and handed to the customers. Many of them couldn't wait to get their own portions and start eating. Everyone who ate it were full of praises.
The aroma and the praises from people around helped George attract more customers. He was busy grilling and never stopped from the beginning to the end.
Today's business can be said to be the best since George started working on barbecue. There were always people waiting in front of his stall. This caused George, who hadn't prepared for this before, sell out all his ingredients before twelve o'clock.
"Sorry, everything is sold out. If you want to try them, you have to come back tomorrow." George said to the people in front of his stall who wanted to buy barbecue.
"No, I've been waiting in line for ten minutes. Boss, just grill something for me."
"That's right. I've been enduring this fragrance for a long time. If I can't eat it today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."
"Boss, I'm not trying to criticise you. It's still early, but all your things are sold out. You really prepared too few.."
"There are so few tables and benches too."
Obviously, George's barbeque was sold out, which made many people dissatisfied. Some of them had been waiting for a while and hadn't taken a bite yet, while some had already eaten and were very satisfied with the taste and wanted to buy more. However, no matter what, it was impossible to purchase any now, so they naturally felt dissatisfied.
In addition, the facilities at George's place were too simple. Those who ordered a small amount were fine as they could just stand and eat them. However, those who ordered a lot couldn't sit down because there wasn't any place for them. If it weren't George's barbeque was indeed better than other restaurants, they wouldn't have chosen to eat here. Hence, it was normal for them to complain.
"I'm really sorry. I really don't have any left. I will definitely prepare more for tomorrow." George apologised repeatedly: "As for tables and chairs, I will also prepare more of them."
Seeing that George really had no ingredients left, everyone dispersed unwillingly. George quickly packed up and went home, not daring to stay any longer.
When George returned to his house, it was only twelve o'clock, which was much earlier than usual. Business was usually very dull, but today it was everything sold like hot cakes. George naturally knew that this was all thanks to his sudden surge in cooking skills. Barbecue can only be regarded as an insignificant part of the cooking skills. However, even such a small part had undergone qualitative changes with the blessing of George advanced cooking skills.
After putting the things away, George took out a bunch of chicken wings from the refrigerator and grilled them himself.
"Well, the taste is indeed much better than before. Compared with the other barbecue stalls, it is one or two levels higher. However, compared with Aunt Wang's skills, it is still far behind." George was eating, while evaluating his own cooking skills, so that he had a full understanding of his current level.
Although it was only one or two notches higher than other barbecue restaurants, these two levels were not easy to make up for. They also made George's barbecue different from the rest. After tasting it, you can clearly judge whose barbecue is better.
This was also the reason why George's barbecue was so popular tonight.
However, George knew that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his barbecue skills. First of all, he was an advanced cook. The level of his cooking skills could still be improved, and it was easier for him to do so compared to the others. After all, he only had to constantly cook food and increase his experience points. However, it was not so easy for other chefs to improve their skills. After all, there were only a few chefs with innate talents.
In addition, the ingredients were also an important factor. The reason why Aunt Wang's chicken was so fragrant wasn't simply because she was a master chef, but also because the chickens she reared had much better meat quality than the chickens in real life. In this way, It will naturally taste better when made.
And George now owned the back hill of the Novice Village. He could grow vegetables, fruits, and raise chickens and ducks. By then, the ingredients alone will be much better than those in other barbecue restaurants in reality. Others would not be able to compete with him even if they wanted to.
"I'm rich, I'm rich!" George counted the money with shining eyes while thinking about his future.
Today, he earned 4,000 yuan. This amount of money may not be compared with the daily turnover of a large barbecue restaurant, let alone those big hotels. However, compared with George's usual, tepid business, it was a gold rush. This was also because he did not prepare enough ingredients. If he prepared more, there would be a multi-fold increase in earnings.
"This should be regarded as my first pot of gold by using what I've gotten from the game world." George thought to himself.
Although George had dreamt of today's scenario when he first found out that he could bring things from the game world back to the real world, he did not expect it to happen so soon. When it really came true, there was a feeling of surprise. Cooking was just one of the abilities he had obtained from the game world, and it wasn't a particularly outstanding part. George believed that it wouldn't take long to use what he had obtained in the game world to gain bigger profits in reality. .
After all, he had only entered the game world for a few days, and he was still in the Novice Village. He hadn't fully understood the game world yet. However, he believed that as he got to know more about the game world, he would become more familiar with it. Then, he would definitely manage to change his real life drastically.
After calming down, George took a quick shower. Then, he returned to his room again and went into the game world through that special ring.
The surrounding environment suddenly changed. George, who was still in his room earlier, returned to the dimly lit mine.
Blacksmith Sun's task was not completed yet, so George had no choice but to continue mining. In the quiet mine, the sound of him mining echoed throughout the tunnel.
However, the peace did not last long. Not long after George teleported over, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision again.
Another golden-haired rat!
However, when George saw this golden-haired rat, his eyelid involuntarily twitched a few times. The golden-haired rat was bigger than the ones he had seen before. It was over half a meter tall and if it were to stand up, it would probably be over a meter tall.
This could no longer be called a rat, it was simply a bear!
