Chapter 29: No more steamed buns!



The girl then took the porridge.

The transparent, disposable box releases a rich, fresh aroma the moment the lid is opened.

The congee with preserved egg and lean pork looked so delicious that it gave her a wonderful surprise.

The porridge in front of me was cooked until every grain of rice had blossomed and glistened white; the oil from the porridge had been extracted.

Nowadays, it's rare to find any oily residue in congee.

Either the soup is bland and watery, or it's thick and sticky with cornstarch, and it tastes bland and tasteless. This bowl of porridge is a completely different story.

As soon as you open the lid, you can smell the aroma of rice, along with the scents of preserved egg and lean meat. It's the kind of aroma that tells you it's delicious.

Wow, this looks delicious!

The white rice grains are filled with preserved eggs and shredded meat, making the meat appear even whiter. I wonder if it will be too dry.

Bright green scallions are the perfect garnish for an appetizer.

The girl, who wasn't hungry before, suddenly felt a hunger churning in her stomach, and couldn't help but devour her food.

Feeling the warmth of the porridge, the girl carefully scooped a spoonful from the surface and put it in her mouth.

"Ugh!!!"

The rich aroma of rice spreads throughout the mouth, accompanied by the tender and smooth texture of the pork tenderloin, melting in the mouth. Contrary to expectations, the lean meat was not dry at all; instead, it melted in the mouth. The lean meat, along with the cooked rice, was very easy to chew. You could tell from the first bite that this porridge had been simmered for a long time.

I didn't get to taste the preserved egg in my first bite.

On her second bite, the girl deliberately scooped up a few pieces of preserved egg and ate them with the porridge.

The preserved egg has a slightly fishy aroma, and its delicate texture is refreshing and delightful.

Moreover, the taste is not pungent or overpowering at all. Instead, it has a smooth and mellow flavor, a refreshing coolness, and a lingering aftertaste. It slides into the stomach with a warm sensation, which feels extremely refreshing.

The boy drank the porridge in big gulps. He had only drunk some water since he was pulled up and was starving.

Climbing mountains is also a physically demanding activity.

Now that I've eaten preserved egg and lean pork congee, I feel like I've been brought back to life.

He ate it bite by bite, and before long, the piping hot bowl of porridge was finished.

Then I looked at my girlfriend, who was eating one small spoonful at a time, and had only eaten one-fifth of a bowl of porridge.

I'm still a little hungry...

"It's delicious, I'll go buy another bowl."

"Let's go together, I'll go take a look."

Hearing this, the girl became curious about the person selling preserved egg and lean pork congee on the mountaintop and followed her boyfriend to take a look.

The entire mountaintop area is also very large.

Along the way, we saw many tourists with cameras filming the sunrise.

It was already seven o'clock, and the sun was fully up.

Standing on the mountaintop, everyone was very excited to feel the sunlight and heat up close.

Such beautiful scenery can probably only be seen from the mountaintop.

But neither the man nor his girlfriend paid any attention to the scenery around them, and walked straight toward Lin Zhou.

"Boss, another bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, please."

Lin Zhou saw the man who had just come by and, with a smile, served him a bowl and handed it to him.

Enjoy your meal.

His girlfriend stood to the side, her eyes filled with surprise when she saw Lin Zhou.

He's handsome!

He's also a very interesting and handsome guy.

They're actually selling preserved egg and lean pork congee on the mountaintop.

Moreover, judging from these two bamboo baskets, they must have been carried up using a shoulder pole!

He's still a handsome guy with some strength!

My god, that's amazing!

The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she took a picture with one hand holding the porridge and the other, then posted it to her group chat with her best friends.

"Ladies, guess where I found such an incredibly handsome guy!"

The message was sent to the group, but no one replied for a long time.

The girl finally calmed down from her excitement and glanced at the time.

It's normal for no one to reply to messages at this time.

They're either still asleep or getting ready, rushing to work and needing to hurry.

People only reply when I start slacking off at work or after I wake up.

The man took the congee with preserved egg and lean pork. His girlfriend was right next to him, so he was too lazy to move. He just found an empty spot nearby and started eating standing up.

The older brother standing next to him watched the man eat with obvious enjoyment, as if it were delicious, and swallowed hard, his mouth watering.

Goodness, he used to never even look at congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

Now that we're out having fun, seeing other people eating makes me crave the food.

When will he ever get rid of this habit of thinking that everything tastes good just because he's seen others eating?

She endured it for a while, and saw that the man had almost finished his bowl of porridge.

The older brother couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is this porridge good?"

A bowl of noodles costs 100 yuan, which is really expensive. He would be devastated if he bought it and it didn't taste good.

Be careful when buying things in tourist areas!

Past experience told him that food at tourist attractions is both expensive and unpalatable.

Upon hearing this, the man looked up at him and nodded firmly.

"It's delicious! I've already eaten two bowls. I've never had such delicious porridge before."

For the first time, the man felt that he was not good at studying and that he was terrible at using words.

I can't even find the right words to describe how delicious this porridge is.

"Then I'll buy one to try too."

The man's answer seemed to be the catalyst that made the older brother finally decide to take action.

If the man had just answered that it didn't taste good, he would have an excuse to convince himself that the porridge only looked good but didn't taste good at all.

Now other people are telling him it tastes good.

The eldest brother couldn't hold back any longer.

"Boss, I'd like one serving, one hundred yuan a bowl, right?"

The older brother quickly walked up to Lin Zhou and ordered food.

Lin Zhou nodded and ladled out a bowl of porridge, handing it over.

A large bucket of porridge was sold, but only nine portions were sold, leaving quite a lot uneaten.

Lin Zhou wasn't in a hurry at all. He took a folding stool out of his bamboo basket and sat down on the mountaintop to sell porridge.
