Gourmet: Midnight Vending
Chapter 482 - 398: Reported for Being Too Delicious!
This mysterious tofu pudding, a kind of tofu pudding Zhao Ming had never seen, when stirred, revealed a soup in the bowl that wrapped around only a small amount of white tofu flowers.
More of it was various kinds of ingredients.
When the first bite entered his mouth, the tip of the tongue first touched the slightly sweet spiciness, but unlike the intense flavor of rabbit heads, this taste was spicy without being harsh, and numbing without being bitter.
Hardly did he feel the silkiness of the tofu flowers, only noticed the fragrant soup sliding down his throat into his stomach, leaving only various ingredients in his mouth.
Slowly chewing.
The crispy meat bits softened slightly from soaking, but beneath the soft skin remained a crispy outer shell, the peanuts were crunchy and chewy, the pickled mustard greens were savory and refreshing, and the beef bits were not only chewy but also richly flavored.
The more he ate these diverse ingredients, the more enjoyable it became.
"My god, whose brain came up with this way to eat, putting so many things into tofu pudding, and then adding a thick soup, it’s invincible, I swear!"
Zhao Ming devoured it without worrying about burning his mouth.
He had just thought that eight yuan was too expensive but now felt that these eight yuan were a bargain for so many ingredients, especially with crispy meat and beef bits in it, it was truly a steal!
Finishing a bowl, Zhao Ming immediately said without hesitation, "Boss, another bowl!"
Chen Mo had already anticipated this, having prepared the thick red oil broth in advance; just add tofu pudding, various ingredients, and pour the broth into a bowl.
Given that it’s called a snack, this tofu pudding naturally lends itself to being sold at a stall; as long as the preparation is done right, the process is extremely simple, and the speed of serving is very fast.
"This is great."
Zhao Ming, after gobbling down two bowls, still felt unsatisfied and brought out one of the rabbit heads he saved as "evidence," "Another bowl, please."
Although the wait wasn’t long, he still couldn’t stop his mouth.
He really couldn’t stop, you know!
After three bowls of tofu pudding, a customer finally noticed something unusual and asked, "Bro, what are you eating? It looks delicious."
The bowl of tofu pudding with sizzling red oil and a variety of ingredients was bursting with color, indeed looking very tempting.
Zhao Ming pointed to the sign in front of the food cart, "See for yourself."
The person stared at it, their mind flashing the same thought Zhao Ming had earlier — a bowl of tofu pudding for eight yuan, isn’t that a rip-off?
But seeing Zhao Ming eating several bowls in a row made them tempted too, and after some thought, they decided to try one.
Soon, they heard Bao Shuai shouting loudly from over there, "No more! No more! We’ve sold out of rabbit heads today, everyone stop lining up!"
Someone in the line protested directly, "I’ve been waiting for half an hour, and now you’re telling me it’s gone, no way, make more for me!"
"Yeah, others are packing ten or fifteen at a time, then when it’s our turn, none are left, what’s up with that?"
"It’s still early, not even eight yet, boss, go back and make some more, we’ll just wait."
Seeing the crowd’s high enthusiasm, Bao Shuai, who hadn’t slept well all night, felt dead tired and frustratedly clenched his fists, thinking that he was clearly a technical staff in a catering company, only responsible for recording and learning various snack recipes and then training clients!
How did it turn into him running a stall?
Cheng Xiuli, witnessing this scenario on the side, was a bit taken aback in her heart.
If this trend continues, why bother running a training company? It seems hiring a large batch of staff to run stalls would earn more?
She shook her head, quickly dismissing the strange thought from her mind. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Seeing the situation worsening with many customers not leaving despite his lengthy explanations and demanding more rabbit head stew before they would go, Bao Shuai became anxious, turning to Chen Mo subconsciously seeking help, suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned back, standing directly on a stool.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it’s true we have no more rabbit heads today! Everyone knows, this rabbit head was invented by the neighboring boss Chen Mo, and today he’s invented a new snack, you should give it a try! I guarantee, the taste is definitely not inferior to the rabbit heads!"
Zhao Ming was enjoying his meal delightfully when hearing this shout, he realized something was wrong, hurriedly leaned in at the food cart, "Another one, hurry, give me another bowl!"
Who knows what those who didn’t get rabbit heads would do later?
And Zhao Ming was carrying quite a few rabbit heads; if those people saw him eating both rabbit heads and tofu pudding, wouldn’t they find him annoying!
Chen Mo anticipated the scene, and had already placed over twenty bowls of ready-made tofu pudding on the food cart’s counter, handing Zhao Ming one bowl casually, "Mate, eat a bit less, please, I’m really worried you’ll run into problems."
Zhao Ming tied the bag of rabbit heads to his waist, holding two tofu pudding containers in both hands, "Don’t worry, it’s fine."
Saying this, he dashed off to the next stall, a place selling fried skewers, behind which were several tables; he found a spot and sat down to joyfully continue savoring.
Having cleanly finished three bowls and chewed through five rabbit heads, not feeling it while standing, Zhao Ming, now sitting, finally realized his stomach was stuffed to bursting.
Staring at the fourth bowl of tofu pudding, he sighed, then suddenly sat up straight, "Wait, what was I here for again?"
