A few college students managed to drive the older woman away with a few words.
Then I felt the air was much better, and happily continued drinking my porridge.
After finishing this bowl of porridge, the group felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!
It wasn't just a feeling of satisfaction in my stomach, but a complete and utter joy that left me wanting more.
They truly felt at that moment that no meal could compare to this one.
I truly realized that before, eating wasn't really eating, it was just filling my stomach. This meal was a real treat.
Century egg and lean pork congee is a perfect blend of savory, fragrant, and delicious flavors.
The taste and texture are impeccable.
The most delicious way to enjoy preserved eggs is to boil them until they are soft and tender.
The aroma of fresh rice can be smelled even before you take a bite. The fragrance of rice, when cooked with fresh pork tenderloin, makes the porridge even smoother and more tender.
The aroma of scallions and ginger is not strong, and it's not as intense as a touch of pepper, but it's just the right amount of deliciousness.
It tastes so good!
Even the few shredded pieces of meat were just right.
The point is to have less meat, so that the occasional bite of meat adds to the enjoyment.
If you eat preserved eggs, the delicious taste is so good that you can't bear to swallow them. After savoring it carefully, the melt-in-your-mouth preserved eggs completely overturn your understanding of preserved eggs.
The century egg and lean pork congee, which costs 100 yuan a bowl, is really delicious, even better than any century egg and lean pork congee they've ever had.
Especially after climbing to the top of the mountain, when you're exhausted and panting, a bowl of such delicious preserved egg and lean pork congee instantly restores your energy.
"Bro, your cooking skills are amazing!"
"Yes, it's so delicious!"
"I usually dislike drinking porridge, but I never expected it to be so delicious!"
"Brother, where do you usually do business? We'll come and support your business!"
Several college students licked the bowl clean, then surrounded Lin Zhou, praising him enthusiastically.
Lin Zhou replied with a smile, "I'll be setting up a stall on the top of Qinhuang Mountain this week."
The college students were stunned by this answer.
They didn't notice the word "this week," focusing instead on the summit of Qinhuang Mountain.
He scrutinized Lin Zhou, trying to discern any trace of a joke.
Then, realizing he was telling the truth, his expression immediately cracked.
Does that mean they can only drink porridge if they climb to the top of the mountain early in the morning?
Although Qinhuang Mountain is a scenic area, it is a free public place, and there are no tools to climb the mountain; you can only climb on your own two legs.
Hiking occasionally is a fun and enjoyable activity.
But no matter how much energy they have, they can't keep up with climbing mountains continuously!
So the expression on Lin Zhou's face became indescribable.
Who is this person who sets up a porridge stall on the mountaintop!
"Brother, why? Climbing to the top of the mountain is so tiring!"
Lin Zhou nodded in agreement.
Climbing to the top of the mountain while carrying porridge was indeed very tiring.
But that was the mission, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Faced with puzzled diners, he had to pretend that he was happy to do so, in order to save face.
"It's more expensive at the top of the mountain!"
Lin Zhou found a reason that people could agree with.
He was afraid of being scolded if he didn't eat a bowl of century egg and lean pork congee for 100 yuan a day, unless he was on a mountaintop.
Even the college students couldn't refute this statement.
One hundred yuan a bowl is indeed expensive.
The tourists who overheard their conversation looked at the college students as if they were innocent victims.
They couldn't bear to spend that money on a bowl of porridge.
The college students seemed to have a good attitude.
I found it to be a novel experience to drink porridge on the mountaintop. I took photos to commemorate the occasion and also took a picture of Lin Zhou's stall.
When I posted it on WeChat Moments, it indeed aroused the curiosity of my friends, who left comments asking questions.
"Which mountain is this? There's even a congee stall selling preserved egg and lean pork at the top."
"You went hiking? Why didn't you call me?"
"Is it really that delicious? You guys aren't ripping people off with a 100-yuan bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, are you trying to drag others down with you?"
Xie Hong, with the attitude of sharing good things with others, replied quickly.
"Qinhuang Mountain is located near my home."
"I'm not a shill, the taste is absolutely amazing, otherwise would Meng Tao and I have spent this much money?"
"Honestly, it's definitely worth a visit. You can hike, exercise, and enjoy delicious congee with preserved egg and lean pork."
His social circle consists mostly of people his age, who are bored during summer vacation.
Seeing something so interesting immediately piqued my interest.
So I messaged Xie Hong and asked if he was going hiking tomorrow, and if so, if so, we could go together.
Xie Hong hesitated upon seeing this message.
This congee with preserved egg and lean pork is really delicious.
If he hadn't already been full from one bowl of porridge, he would have really wanted another.
But if I want to eat it again tomorrow, I'll have to climb to the top of the mountain again.
The hardship of climbing up is still fresh in my memory.
He wavered back and forth for a moment, extremely hesitant.
"Meng Tao, are you still climbing tomorrow?"
When called upon, Meng Tao shook his head; his home was not in Jiangdong.
I came to Jiangdong for tourism and took the opportunity to visit Xie Hong and a few others.
I'm getting ready to go back tomorrow.
"I have to go back. I've been away for a week, and my mom is already urging me to come back."
"Oh? You're going back already?"
"It's okay, school starts soon, see you at school then."
"Yes." Xie Hong nodded, then asked, "What about Tao Zhixin, Cao Hongxin, and Yao Chao?"
Xie Hong asked them one by one, clearly looking for accomplices. If everyone came tomorrow, he would definitely come too.
If nobody wants to climb mountains anymore, he probably won't come.
Yao Chao's home is in Jiangdong, but it's not in the same district as Xie Hong's.
