It's still a converted tricycle used for a street stall, except that besides an empty space for putting things on the table, there's a round grid made of iron plate, row upon row.
Lin Zhou counted them and found there were a full thirty compartments, which meant he could make quite a few egg burgers at once.
Selling 2,000 egg burgers wouldn't take much time then.
If we finish the mission ahead of schedule, we can have some fun in Bailongjiang.
...
The next day, Lin Zhou got up at 3 a.m., and Butler Sun had already prepared the ingredients he needed.
Lin Zhou first put a box of eggs on the tricycle.
Then I started mixing the batter and some sauces.
Butler Sun helped chop the meat.
On his first day setting up his stall, Lin Zhou wasn't quite sure what the locals in Baihe would like.
The flavors prepared are relatively simple: pork and egg burgers, beef and egg burgers, and a cheese and ham burger—three flavors in total.
There were also some side dishes.
This kind of food combination can be paired in any way, depending on individual taste.
Lin Zhou also took the time to cook a pot of porridge. Their breakfast this morning was preserved egg and lean pork porridge and egg hamburgers.
Because Lin Zhou made breakfast himself, the housekeeper and the maids got up early to prepare, thankfully they were staying in a villa.
Otherwise, if I were chopping meat in the kitchen at three or four in the morning, I might get reported by the neighbors.
Lin Zhou even brought his food stall to his villa just to eat an egg burger.
The outdoor temperature is too cold; I can't stand it.
It's warmer inside.
Making an egg burger is not difficult.
As for the taste, that depends entirely on the maker's culinary skills.
The ingredients were all ready.
This is Lin Zhou's home turf.
When Butler Sun saw Lin Zhou roll up his sleeves and get ready to get to work, he immediately took out his phone and prepared to film.
Lin Zhou, holding the eggs, was taken aback when he saw Butler Sun taking out his phone to take a picture.
"Um?"
When Butler Sun saw Lin Zhou looking over, he smiled sheepishly.
"Mr. Zhang said he had never eaten an egg burger before and was very interested in it, so he messaged me and asked me to take a picture and show it to him."
Lin Zhou understood as soon as he said that.
Uncle Zhang, although he's called "uncle," is actually over sixty years old.
Snacks like egg burgers are mostly trendy foods favored by young people.
Older people may not have eaten it before.
Moreover, given Zhang's living conditions, he wouldn't have the opportunity to eat such street food.
Thinking back to the snacks he used to sell at his stall, Uncle Zhang seemed very shocked when he tasted them, as if he had never eaten them before.
At the time, he didn't think much of it and assumed it was because it was so delicious.
Looking back now, I doubt I've ever actually eaten at a roadside stall like that.
"Then go ahead and take the picture."
After Lin Zhou finished speaking, he remembered that Uncle Zhang was so far away from him now. Wouldn't it be even more painful for him to see him but not be able to eat him?
Forget it, I'll just ignore it.
Lin Zhou banished the thoughts from his mind and focused on making the egg burgers.
After the egg burger machine was heated to a point where the heat was noticeable, Lin Zhou used the egg burger making tools that came with his stall cart to brush oil onto the round grids that he needed to use.
Use a brush of the right size to apply a thin layer of oil, and then, once the oil is hot, crack several eggs into the round grid.
The quiet, empty living room was suddenly filled with the crackling sound of food coming into contact with high temperatures.
The eggs, which were just cracked into the pot, began to solidify in no time.
Lin Zhou took the tongs and stirred the eggs one by one with a snapping sound.
The egg, which was just a clear egg white and a clear egg yolk, has now been mixed together.
The aroma of eggs also spread as the oil heated up.
Before the eggs solidified, Lin Zhou took out a bowl of chopped and seasoned minced pork, scooped a spoonful with a small spatula, and placed it on the semi-solidified egg mixture.
The combination of the two made the aroma of the food in the room even stronger.
Next comes the preparation of the batter.
Pour batter into the round grid next to the fried egg and pork, and then cover the egg and pork with it when the batter is semi-solidified.
The next dish is topped with an egg and minced meat, along with chopped green onions, chili powder, and chopped pickled vegetables.
I made several different flavored egg burgers. They were round and plump, with a golden and crispy outer shell, but you could see that they were soft inside.
The aroma of the egg burger itself is enticing enough. The juicy bun is sandwiched with a crispy fried egg and tender meat filling. It's hard to imagine how tempting it would be to take a bite.
The housekeeper and the other housekeepers, who had been watching from the side, had already stopped what they were doing and were staring longingly at the egg burgers that Lin Zhou had made.
Butler Sun remembered his job and sent the photographed egg burger to Zhang Jianjun, who was far away in Jiangdong.
Let's not even mention Zhang Jianjun, who was still half asleep.
While waiting for the egg burgers to be made, Butler Sun and the others swallowed their saliva countless times.
Seeing that Lin Zhou had made more than a dozen egg burgers and it was time for breakfast, he quickly told the aunties to serve him some porridge.
Bowls of congee with preserved egg and lean pork were served and arranged on matching plates, along with some local specialties from Baihe that Butler Sun had bought, and then brought to the table.
In the blink of an eye, the table was piled high with food.
Of course, among all the food, the most eye-catching was the plate of golden, oily egg burgers.
It has a very rich, savory aroma with a strong scent of being fried in oil.
Moreover, when paired with special sauces, each flavor has its own unique aroma, making your mouth water just from the smell alone.
"Come and have a taste."
Seeing the housekeepers standing there, too afraid to move, Lin Zhou had no choice but to ask them to sit down and eat.
