Chapter 6 We are all primary school students, how can you be in the atmosphere
Wang Yiwen happily accepted the bet, walked past the fat man and went straight to the stall to take a look.
The little fat boy's originally puffed up cheeks suddenly turned into a sly smile when he saw the fried skewers.
"Wang Yiwen, even if you regret it now, I can still let you go."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Sister, besides the five skewers of fried pork tenderloin I just added, give me two skewers of each!"
Upon hearing this, the little fat man ordered a Grand Slam in one go. Wang Yiwen sneered and ordered a few skewers at random.
A few minutes later...
The fat boy and the little girl stood together beside Zhao Xiaojing's stall. They finished a skewer of food in a few bites. Neither of them spoke a word, and they endured the heat to put it into their mouths.
The little girl ordered less, and after finishing what she ordered, she reached out and took a few skewers from the food box in the fat boy's hand and continued to eat.
"Why are you taking mine? Isn't it tasty?" The little fat man reached out to take back the fried skewers that were taken away from him.
"You win, you win! I'll transfer money to you right after we finish eating, and give me a few more!" Wang Yiwen said quickly, protecting the fried skewers he had snatched away.
The fat boy smiled complacently and generously handed over the food box. The two continued to eat skewers quickly and silently.
Li Donglai, who was passing by to pick up his son from school, smelled the fragrance, glanced at the golden and crispy fried skewers, which were sticky with sesame seeds and dipping sauce, and suddenly he couldn't walk anymore.
"Boss, give me a few skewers!"
"Give me a Palm Treasure, deep-fried until crispy like the ones they eat, and then... this, this, this. Hey, you don't have a lot of variety here, so give me a skewer of each."
"Okay, do you want spicy sauce or non-spicy?"
"If you want it spicy, add more chili!"
This was a good start. Zhao Xiaojing felt relieved and her uneasy mood finally settled a little.
Zhao Xiaojing always pays attention to the state of the fried skewers, turning them over from time to time with a pair of tongs.
Each type of fried skewers requires different frying time and heat.
The first thing to take out of the oil pan is the squid tentacles, which are the easiest to cook. They should be taken out after about 40 seconds. At this time, the skin of the squid tentacles is crispy and the meat is chewy and elastic.
The second is the thinnest fried tenderloin. The oil temperature cannot be too high and it must be quickly removed from the pan after frying for one minute.
Next, take out the fried pork belly, pigeon belly, palm treasure, and finally the pork chops.
While waiting for the pork chops to be fried, add the vegetarian skewers, put the ones coated with batter first and the ones without batter later, and remove them when the skin is slightly wrinkled.
Standing next to the stall, the aroma was even stronger. Li Donglai looked at the golden skewers with burnt shells in the mixing tray and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Because he loves to eat, his wife scolds him for being a foodie every day, but he seems to be born with a radar for delicious food, and he will find delicious food as soon as he finds it. He really can't help it!
"Here, it's spicy. Try it first. If it's not enough, I'll give you some more."
"Okay, the money has been scanned into your code."
Li Donglai took the lunch box and directly picked up a bunch of squid tentacles and started to eat them. He observed that this one was the first one to come out of the pot, so it should be the least hot!
After taking a bite, Li Donglai was shocked.
Are the fried skewers at the school gate already this delicious?
Oh my goodness! Who else can fry squid tentacles so perfectly? They're so chewy, with a crispy exterior. Even better, the flavor is so fully absorbed, and the sauce is absolutely amazing!
Finish it in a few bites, then have some skewered oyster mushrooms coated in batter.
This fried golden batter, brushed with brown-red sauce, looks appetizing.
Take a big bite.
How come it's so crispy? The outside looks dry, but the inside is surprisingly tender and juicy!
"Wow! This skewers looks delicious. Big sister, I want some skewers. How much are they?"
"Vegetarian skewers are 1 yuan, meat skewers are 3 yuan."
"Hmm... I want fried bananas and fried rice cakes!"
"Sister, I also want fried bananas and three pieces of pork belly!"
"I want one skewer of eggplant, two skewers of pork belly, two skewers of that red meat, one skewer of this long one, and potatoes!"
"Beauty, give me a banana and ten tenderloins!"
Zhao Xiaojing responded with a smile, took out the fried skewers the customers ordered, threw them into the pot in order, and after frying them, she calculated the money one by one, packed them up, and handed them over.
In a blink of an eye, a group of chattering children gathered around the stall, and more and more people were standing by the stall eating fried skewers. Several parents of students also joined the army of people eating skewers on the street.
Don’t ask, the answer is just to wait for the children and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s because they are all standing here and eating so deliciously.
After eating the last skewer, Li Donglai felt unsatisfied and fixed his eyes on the glass cabinet again.
Just as he was about to order two more skewers of pork belly, the elementary school students who were paying at the stall caught his attention.
"Hey, Li Feiyu! Why don't you look for your dad after school and come here to eat alone!"
Li Donglai pulled his son Li Feiyu's head over and criticized him while looking at the fried skewers he had just taken from his hand.
"Dad! Why are you here? I've been waiting for you at the school gate for a long time. Zhang Leilei said she wanted to eat, so I followed her here."
"Hey, Dad, why do you have a skewers box in your hand?"
…
"You, eat quickly, it will get cold soon. Dad is waiting for you."
Fortunately, his wife was not at home, otherwise he would be scolded again. Li Donglai didn't dare to say anything and stood aside feeling guilty.
The little girl next to her wanted to eat more fried bananas after finishing one. She looked at the few coins she had, thought for a while, then turned around and bought another one for her mother who came to pick her up in a hurry.
"Mom, fried bananas are delicious. I bought one especially for you! It's still hot, so eat it quickly."
The mother who picked up the child looked resistant and wanted to refuse, but when she saw her daughter's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear it, so she had no choice but to pick it up and take a bite.
The bite made her tongue tremble from the heat, but her expression changed noticeably as she ate the fried banana.
The steaming hot fried bananas are golden, with a crispy shell and soft bananas inside. Deep-frying at high temperatures makes the bananas more juicy, giving them a sweet and refreshing aroma that blends perfectly with the crispy shell.
One bite makes you dizzy with its fragrance.
She was enjoying the food without realizing it, and her daughter looked up at her with a smile.
"Mom, mom, are the fried bananas delicious?"
"It's delicious!"
"Then can you buy some more, Mom? The fried skewers this sister sells look delicious. I want to try them all with Mom!"
"Little clever girl, you're waiting here!" The mother who picked up the child couldn't help laughing out loud, seeing through her daughter's little thoughts.
"Just order whatever you want. Mom will pay. And also order me some fried bananas."
“Okay, Mom!”
The little girl happily rejoined the group of chattering primary school students surrounding the stall and started another round of ordering.
The children who saw this scene nearby were stunned. My goodness, we are all elementary school students on the first floor, how did you get to the atmosphere?
The child's mind raced, and he immediately followed suit, quickly stuffing the remaining fried skewers into his mouth, leaving only the last one.
"Dad! You're finally here. Dad, this fried skewers are so delicious. I bought one especially for you! It's still hot, eat it quickly..."
