Thank you for reading this chapter at prosperous food dot com. We are delighted to have you here.

Improvements to the site are ongoing – it is taking much longer than anticipated. Please bear with us as we tinkered around to make the changes.

When the last rays of the setting sun disappear over the sea, the night time business at Qing Shan City becomes very busy. Unlike the busy daytime, the night-time crowd have more time to browse and walk around.

There are many people in the streets, and several tempting aromas from the restaurants that cater to the night time crowd. Just a whiff of these aromas is enough to make one feel hungry.

A regular customer at the noodle stall arrives at the restaurant, and ordered a bowl of noodles as usual. Just when he was waiting for the noodles, he suddenly caught a whiff of an unusual but very tempting smell.

This smell is very sweet and spicy. Just one whiff of the smell is enough to make one salivate. He immediately forgot about the bowl of noodles and traced the source of the smell. Finally, he discovered that outside a restaurant, there were already several people surrounding it.

The restaurant had placed several tables outside it, and there is a large pot in the restaurant. The pot was filled with red colour baby lobsters. The mouth-watering aroma that tempted them and lured them here comes from this restaurant.

"Baby Lobsters, 20 coppers for 1 Jin. If you want to eat, you should order it quickly. Once we have sold out, there will no more for the day!"

Someone immediately recognised the waiter, "Hey, ain't you the kid that sold the steam buns outside of the city? How come I did not see you selling the steamed buns anymore?"

Lao Er looked up and recognises this man. He is a regular customer. He smiled, "Oh, in future we will be selling it in this shop. If you want to eat it, come over in the morning. At night, we sell our speciality - this baby lobsters. Do you want to try it?"

"This price is a bit expensive." The customer hesitated.

"This price is not expensive. Most of the restaurants' sell a dish at this price. And for us, we measure by weight. You are guaranteed one jin. And I promise you that it tastes good."

As soon as he thought of the taste of the steamed bun, the customer immediately nodded his head, "Then I will order 1 jin."

"Please wait a moment."

The customer took a seat. Beside him, someone had already ordered and was digging in with relish. That customer had eaten until he was perspiring heavily, but he did not care at all and immediately hollered, "It is very delicious! Waiter, 3 more jins!"

The regular customer saw the pile of lobster shells on the table, and swallowed his saliva. His heart was filled with anticipation.

Very quickly, the baby lobsters arrive. Lao Er even gave them a bowl of sour plum drink, "This is on us as part of the opening special. When you eat the baby lobsters, and drink this, you will feel more comfortable."

It is summer and there is no ice. Therefore, after cooking this sour plum juice, it was chilled using the cool waters from the well.

The regular customer nodded his head, and immediately grabbed a prawn. He easily peeled off the shell. The snow-white meat was mixed with the spicy gravy. When he placed it into his mouth, the spicy and melt-in-your-mouth lobster flavour exploded in his mouth.

So spicy! So good!

After swallowing the baby lobster, the customer immediately took a sip of the sour plum. Then he suddenly felt very comfortable as the spicy taste no longer stings so much.

Right now, he felt that this 20 copper coins is worth every penny.

This is definitely worth it!

He continued to tuck in with relish. After finishing most of the baby lobsters, he even ordered 3 more jins.

Today, he is going to gorge himself on this fine food.

Shiyu was well prepared, and all the customers were satisfied. But when the shop closed for the night, all the baby lobsters that they had purchased were gone in one night.

At this moment, the shop becomes famous overnight. Many customers wanted to place an advance order. Shiyu could only smile bitterly, and advise customers that first come, first serve.

When the shop was finally closed for the night, everyone slumped on the table in exhaustion. But when they counted the money, everyone was very excited.

"Oh, so much money!" The beggars have never seen so much money before in their lives, "This is like a dream."

Shiyu smiled, "In future, we will earn more. In future, money will not be important to you. You will crave for something else more important."

"Isn't Grandpa, Elder Sister, and my brothers more important than money?" Xiao Qi asked.

Shiyu stroke her head, "Xiao Qi is really smart!"

The next day and the day after, the business in the shop was very good.

The number of customers also increased exponentially. Once it is evening time, even before the shop open, there will be a long queue of customers waiting outside. Shiyu was proud of her achievements, but at the same time, she was worried.

The better your business is, the more likely that someone will target you.

The shop does not have a powerful backer. If someone stronger tried to snatch the business, she and the orphans are powerless to stop that thief.

"Lin Fan, you should have awakened your powers by now?" Shiyu thought. She asked Lao Er to take Xiao Qi to invite Lin Fan over.

Since the shop needs a backer, why not get the strongest character in this world as the backer. Once Lin Fan rises up, the Lin family will become the undisputed ruler of Qing Shan City. If in future, she leaves this place to explore the world and left the business to Grandpa, the Lin Family will ensure that no one dares to make trouble.

Xiao Qi was very lucky. She chanced across Lin Fan was he was about to go out, and immediately invited him to the restaurant. Lin Fan agreed, and indicated that he will bring his little sister along.

When Xiao Qi informed Shiyu, Shiyu immediately stopped cooking.

Lin Fan's little sister?

According to the novel, because Lin Fan was deemed useless, all the Lin family clan members do not want to associate themselves with him - except for his sister.

Since it is like this, she should prepare something.....

That night, Lin Fan appeared. Beside him is a pretty girl. She was dressed in green, and her facial features were very clear and good looking. Such is her beauty that just one look, and you would want to take another look.

"Oh, so you are the ones that are selling the infamous baby lobsters!" At this time, Lin Fan is no longer the weakling he used to be, and is very confident.

He should have discovered the secret of the necklace.

Shiyu shrugged her shoulders, "No choice. We need to make a living. But the business is too good, and we are troubled. Therefore, we have no choice but to invite you over, and hopefully, have a backer?"

"You still need a backer?" Lin Fan was surprised.

Shiyu knew why he said this, and smiled, "I am just an ordinary woman."

Lin Fan suddenly caught Shiyu's hand and feel her purse. Then he was astounded, "You are really an ordinary woman?"

"You have verified it for yourself!" Shiyu smiled, "And if you do not let go of my hand, your little sister is going to be jealous."

"....." Lin Fan let go of his hand. He was troubled that his secret of the necklace was known to someone else.

Haha, this is a 14-15 boy. Why does he scheme like an old man?

Shiyu smiled, and let them sit down. She immediately went to take out the food that she had prepared. She wanted to negotiate with Lin Fan, and see if he is willing to back her up.
