Then the girl got off the plane and headed towards the school.
Just when the mother thought she had misjudged her daughter, she realized she had been wrong.
I saw my daughter get off the bus, not even glancing at the school, and pull her suitcase into an alley.
This surprised Mom.
I almost felt incredibly guilty, thinking I had misunderstood my daughter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got off the bus, I ran away without even going back to school.
She followed him all the way to the alley entrance, but then she didn't dare to follow anymore.
I secretly waited at the corner, and after two hours, I finally saw a food stall selling braised pork knuckle rice.
Moreover, I saw so many people queuing in the alley, all waiting for the braised pork knuckle rice.
She also saw her daughter sitting on her suitcase in the queue, and when she saw the cart coming, she jumped up.
The cheers from the crowd were constant; someone who didn't know better might have thought a celebrity had arrived.
The entire alley was completely packed with people.
Everyone followed the stall cart around.
The voice of the stall owner could still be faintly heard.
The girl's mother looked at the cart with curiosity, not understanding what was going on, so she just waited and saw.
Let's continue to observe how things develop.
Then I saw that after the pork trotter rice stall was set up, the long queue in the alley also became orderly.
Then, a rich aroma of food wafted out from the alley.
The girl's mother: !!!
No, why does it smell so good?
...
At the stall, as Lin Zhou lifted the lid of the iron pot, the aroma of braised pig's feet wafted out.
The crowd fell silent instantly, everyone looking expectantly at the pot full of pig's feet.
Next comes a large container of leafy greens, neatly cut into sections, blanched, cooked, and simply seasoned.
The main flavor comes from the braising liquid; a spoonful of braising liquid poured on can turn even boiled vegetables into a delicious dish.
When serving braised pork trotters with rice, excessive seasoning of vegetables is actually detrimental; the lighter the seasoning, the better it helps to cut through the richness.
Finally, there was a jar of chili peppers.
As soon as the bright red chilies were brought out, the eyes of diners who love spicy food lit up.
"Wow, there really are chili peppers."
Most of the people present were the same group from yesterday.
Many people have heard that someone told Mr. Lin they wanted to eat spicy food.
Then today, Mr. Lin made chili peppers.
They spoil her rotten.
As soon as the jar containing the chili peppers is opened, the pungent and spicy aroma of the chili peppers is released.
Those diners who got close enough could smell it.
"Mr. Lin, are these chilies spicy?"
"I think it should be spicy, very spicy."
"Right? What kind of chili peppers are used? I feel like I can't stand the smell."
Lin Zhou was still packing up his stall. He moved the rice buckets down and the takeout boxes off the cart. Once he was almost done, he would start operating.
What do you want?
Lin Zhou usually wears a mask when cooking at his stall.
Otherwise, if he were to interact with diners and speak, and accidentally spit out his saliva, then Mr. Lin's reputation would be ruined.
He's been popular for so long, but he also has a lot of haters.
Lin Zhou doesn't go online often, but some diners have mentioned this to him when they come over for a chat.
So Lin Zhou was aware of it.
Previously, even a simple act of touching food without gloves while setting up a stall could become a point of contention for haters.
Lin Zhou couldn't even remember it after he found out, but Hei Zi remembered it all the time, which is quite something.
When he sets up his stall, hygiene is his top priority. Even when collecting money, he won't touch the cash given by customers with his hands. He'll have them place it on the counter, and he'll only put it away after taking off his gloves when he's not busy.
Wearing a mask is also an option.
His street stall became a hit, and if he's not careful, even the smallest things can be blown out of proportion.
Therefore, ever since Lin Zhou learned that he had haters, he has paid attention to every detail.
They were afraid of being targeted.
Then, the system's tasks are still very clear-headed, with random locations and random food.
His fans can't find his colleagues, and his haters can't find him either.
Despite setting up his stall for so long, no one has ever come to his stall.
"One serving of braised pork knuckle rice, plus four points, spicy."
Today, the students from Tsinghua University learned their lesson. They didn't stay in the coffee shop after arriving; instead, they were fully equipped with protective gear and brought stools to queue outside.
They were afraid that the seats in front would be taken away.
The guide posted by the old foodies from Jiangdong was quite useful; at least the students from Tsinghua University learned that they should bring stools in advance to set up a stall.
Look at this row of students in front; they've brought out all the chairs from their dorm rooms.
They sat in a row.
Then, the girl who returned to school sitting on her suitcase was also very eye-catching.
They look like they just returned to school.
"Everyone is here really early."
The girl sat on her luggage and moved forward little by little with the group.
He seems to have it easier than the others.
Some people's stools don't have wheels, so when they move the front, they have to carry the stool along with them.
With the pulley attached, he used his legs to push forward several steps.
"Many people arrived yesterday, and some even rushed back overnight the day before yesterday."
"Kiwi, you're late enough." They're classmates from the same class.
People who know each other well don't even call each other by their names, they just call each other by nicknames.
The girl's nickname "Kiwi" was derived from her online name.
I've gotten used to calling it that, so I just keep calling it that.
“I almost couldn’t come back. I was thinking of going home for the holidays, but I ran out of money. Then I saw Mr. Lin’s message and suddenly wanted to go back to school. My mom didn’t believe me at all and begged me for two days before she let me come back.”
Just thinking about this girl makes me feel so tired.
"I came here as soon as I got off the plane. I didn't even go back to my dorm. I still have my luggage with me. It's better for you people who haven't returned to school yet."
"It's a good thing you didn't go back to the dorm. Some people in the boys' dorm were talking too loudly, and the people in the next dorm found out. Now it's not just people in our class who know that Boss Lin has set up a stall here."
"Huh? Are you that careless?"
No wonder there were so many unfamiliar people in the group.
"That's right, it's something that can be let slip. It was already hard to get, and now with more people, the competition is even fiercer."
"It's a holiday now, and everyone's free, so I'm worried that it'll be hard to get a bowl of braised pork knuckle rice tomorrow or the day after."
I think so too.
The girl nodded.
The diners in front of me had already started eating.
The girl, who hadn't eaten much all day, clutched her stomach and stared longingly.
"I'm so hungry!"
"That's right, Mr. Lin's braised pork trotter rice is even better than those videos online. I used to think those videos were color-corrected, but after seeing Mr. Lin's braised pork trotters, I realized that the color really can be a bright red. It looks so delicious."
"Think about the braised pork knuckle rice I had in takeout before. The color was really unappetizing. It was that brownish color, you know?"
"I understand, I understand. The braised pork trotter rice I ate was also that brown color of braised dishes, and it didn't have much flavor."
As each serving of braised pork trotters rice was cut and packaged.
The pig's trotters were cut open, and the steam carrying the aroma spread through the air, making the girl's mother, who was sitting around the corner, feel very uncomfortable.
She hadn't eaten much since she came all the way with her daughter.
The aroma is so enticing that it makes my mouth water uncontrollably.
