"Cousin, why does your department store need so much hot sauce?" Wang, the boss, was puzzled. Even if the hot sauce tasted good, there wasn't a need to buy so much.
A thousand bottles, to be precise.
You see, their previous batch of a thousand bottles had been sold in many places before they were all gone.
"Youcai, tell me, why did they sell a thousand bottles yesterday?" Ling Feng asked instead of answering.
Wang's full name was Youcai. Wang Youcai owned a glass bottle factory, which was quite successful. With his potbelly, he looked like someone from a wealthy household. He said, "Maybe it's because it's tasty?"
"Exactly, it's because it's tasty."
Ling Feng then asked, "Now, tell me, have you ever encountered such hot sauce anywhere else in South City?"
"No."
Wang Youcai shook his head. There were meat dishes at his home for every meal, and sometimes he dined outside for gatherings where chicken, duck, fish, and meat were abundant — who had the time for hot sauce?
