Under Qin Yi's "admonition".

The number of people queuing has decreased by half.

Qin Yi took a folding table out of the carriage and placed it in front of the van.

All that's left to do are make cold dishes; there's no need to start a fire.

She put on a mask and gloves and demonstrated how to make the crepe directly in front of the customers.

First, place the ingredients needed for today on the table.

A bowl of fresh houttuynia cordata cut into small pieces.

A bowl of green bitter melons that had been pickled in salt water was chopped into small pieces.

There was also a bowl of chopped cilantro.

"Oh my god! All three of the worst-tasting dishes according to netizens are on the table. Is the owner trying to kill us?"

In addition, there was a bowl of chopped green onions, a bowl of dried chili powder, a plate of pink pickled radish cubes, and a jar of sesame oil chili sauce made by Qin Yi herself.

After everything was set out, she felt the line of diners had shortened a little.

Anyway, I only need to complete the task by twenty more portions, so what's wrong with making something I like to eat?

In her past life, she had seen this dish of houttuynia cordata layered pastry in other cities online, and it made her very hungry.

When it was her turn to cook, Qin Yi specially added a bitter melon dish.

Since the style is so unique, let's go all out. Anyone who doesn't like ingredients with a peculiar smell will be instantly killed by this...

But someone like her, with a cilantro-obsessed, houttuynia cordata-obsessed, or bitter melon-obsessed mindset, is already full of anticipation before it even starts...

First, Qin Yi took out a large rectangular tray.

Half of the interior was covered with a thick layer of original flavored tofu skin.

The remaining half of the space will be used to make this houttuynia cordata crepe.

Qin Yi first used a spoon to drizzle a generous amount of chili oil onto a sheet of bean curd skin, spreading the chili oil evenly, instantly turning the base color a vibrant red.

Then sprinkle on the soul-stirring pickled radish, a lethal amount of chopped green onions and cilantro, lots and lots of houttuynia cordata, and garnish with dark green bitter melon pieces.

Sprinkle a layer of seasoned chili powder on top.

Thus, the first layer of the thousand-layer base was completed.

Roll it up from the side to form a tortilla shape.

Lift it up and place it in the empty space on the tray.

When unfolded, it reveals a layer of "strange-flavored" houttuynia cordata skin filled with a generous amount of filling.

The subsequent steps are very simple.

Repeat the steps for the first layer, and make twelve more identical houttuynia cordata crepes. Press them down, flatten them, and stack them together.

"It's ready! 12 yuan a piece of houttuynia cordata mille-feuille! It's all about companionship, boss, you can have a taste first!"

After Qin Yi finished hawking her wares, she cut off a small piece to taste herself.

This snack was made entirely to satisfy her own cravings; she had to be the first to eat it.

She used chopsticks to fold the tofu skin into a small roll inside the cardboard box, wrapping all the ingredients inside, and then popped it into her mouth in one bite.

Qin Yi didn't say a word, but the moment the food entered her mouth, her eyes widened like copper bells!

He stared at the customers in front of him, silently eating three layers of tofu skin.

In an instant, the number of people in the queue decreased further...

The diners who emerged from the queue did not leave, but chose to stand aside and observe silently.

Judging from their expressions, there are two types of people here.

One type is people who absolutely cannot eat houttuynia cordata, cilantro, or bitter melon. They usually frown tightly and purse their lips, as if afraid of eating those things, showing a fearful and disgusted expression.

Another type of customer is one who is somewhat resistant but also wants to try it. They have been secretly observing the food on Qin Yi's plate and the reactions of everyone who eats the houttuynia cordata. They need more information to decide whether to try it or give up on this mille-feuille.

Of course, there are two types of people in the queue.

One type is like Qin Yi, who are fans of these "strong-smelling" ingredients.

Another type of customer is the foodie. Most of them have never eaten houttuynia cordata before and want to try what the legendary fish mint tastes like.

After Qin Yi finished half of the mille-feuille in the box, she chose to start selling it, leaving the other half to eat as a late-night snack later.

"A thousand-layer cake with houttuynia cordata, bitter melon, and cilantro, with lots of chili and scallions. Don't buy it if you can't handle that!"

This was her final piece of advice as the boss.

Then they officially started doing business.

The previous group of dessert customers had already finished eating and left.

The first customers who bought the houttuynia cordata crepe sat down and started eating.

...

Rong Biao, along with his grandson Rong Xiaobao, managed to buy the first batch of houttuynia cordata layered cakes.

As soon as the two sat down, Rong Xiaobao sat on the stool, pouted, and said with a look of disgust.

"Grandpa! Uncle Sheng said there was a really delicious mille-feuille dessert here, but what is this? It looks so scary! I don't dare to eat it."

A few days ago, Rong Biao ate the durian mille-feuille that Kuangzi brought home and thought it tasted good.

Kuangzi said he bought it from Boss Qin at Zining Night Market.

Today, he took his grandson for a walk and came here, so he thought he'd buy some desserts to eat with his grandson.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin's stall business was quite good; they queued for more than ten minutes but it still wasn't their turn.

Suddenly, the desserts sold out, so the owner picked up his tools and started selling bizarre and unusual dishes.

Two-thirds of the customers were lost instantly, and the father and son immediately moved to the front row.

Mr. Qin was so focused on his business that he didn't even look up at them, his eyes glued to the food in his hands.

Looking at that thick layer of houttuynia cordata, his mouth watered.

Although I couldn't have tiger skin crepe, this houttuynia cordata crepe was a pleasant surprise!

I just don't know if Xiaobao can accept such strong-flavored food. My grandson has probably never tasted houttuynia cordata before and doesn't know how fierce it is.

Seeing his grandfather's eyes light up, Rong Xiaobao asked curiously, "Grandpa, why don't you try some first?"

Rong Biao knew his grandson was still a little hesitant, and he himself was really craving it. He loved eating houttuynia cordata, but he had never eaten such pure houttuynia cordata layered cake before.

Rong Biao then used his chopsticks to pick up the entire layer of mille-feuille.

Flatten them slightly.

He took a big, hard bite.

A large, curved notch was left on the multi-layered tofu skin.

Then, with one chew, countless drops of houttuynia cordata juice mixed with fragrant chili oil burst in his mouth.

There were also crunchy bits of bitter melon, tangy diced radish, and fragrant cilantro and scallions. They all seemed to have their unique flavors activated by the chili oil, crackling and popping in his mouth.

"Wow~~~ This flavor is so addictive! It's like it's hitting you right in the head! Whether you like houttuynia cordata or not, once you've tasted it, you'll never forget the flavor! Xiao Bao, you have to try it! A real man isn't afraid of houttuynia cordata!"

Seeing his grandfather enjoying his food so much, Rong Xiaobao actually felt a little hungry.

"Really? You're not kidding me?"
