Of course, the two girls wanted to take it all with them.
Even two grown men couldn't open the mud shell, so the girls shouldn't even think about it.
Then it was Lin Zhou's turn to perform.
With two quick punches, the beggar's chicken was ready to be packed up.
The two girls were already incredibly tempted by the aroma of the food.
Once you have the beggar's chicken in your hand, you can't wait to go back and eat it. Find a spot next to the stall and peel off the soft lotus leaf.
The lotus leaf was covered with a layer of pig caul fat, so it was shiny and oily. Touching it would leave your hands covered in oil, but the two girls didn't care at all.
Lifting the lotus leaf reveals the true appearance of Beggar's Chicken.
The people in the queue were already drooling from the delicious aroma.
The first few people grabbed the beggar's chicken and ran off.
It made everyone very eager to try it; they could smell the aroma but couldn't see what the beggar's chicken looked like.
Now finally someone can satisfy everyone's curiosity and unveil the mystery of beggar's chicken in front of everyone.
Once the lotus leaf is lifted, the aroma of the beggar's chicken becomes even stronger.
The mud has excellent sealing properties. When mixed with wine, the aroma of the wine in the mud gradually softens the lotus leaves inside during the baking process.
When the lotus leaves are soft and roasted, they are placed inside the chicken. The aroma of the wine and the fragrance of the lotus leaves are fully absorbed by the chicken after a long period of simmering and roasting.
The heat can't escape and stays inside the chicken.
The moment it's opened, the fragrance will travel for miles.
The strong smell could be smelled by everyone on the street.
The aroma made people's mouths water, and they couldn't wait to take out disposable chopsticks and start eating the meat.
This kind of braised chicken is incredibly tender.
All the juices and flavors are retained in the chicken.
One bite and it's undeniably delicious.
The aroma is accompanied by umami, along with tender chicken meat and chewy chicken skin.
This chicken is incredibly delicious, with a subtle lotus leaf aroma and a hint of wine; it's truly a natural ingredient that effectively removes any fishy smell.
It makes the chicken more delicious and removes any fishy smell.
Absolutely amazing!
The two girls couldn't stop eating.
The diners, already drooling over the aroma, were now watching the live food broadcast, and their stomachs were rumbling non-stop.
"I can't take it anymore, I'm so hungry, I'm craving it so much."
"I knew there must be good food with so many people queuing up, and I was right!"
"I never expected to find such delicious food on the roadside in Harbin. I've never heard a word about it before!"
"That's right, we've caught them this time!"
People in the queue chatted impatiently.
Then, the tourists who had just come out of the Ice and Snow World smelled the fragrance as soon as they came out, and when they saw Lin Zhou setting up a stall by the roadside and the crowd queuing in front of the stall, they walked straight over.
How could you possibly miss this aroma!
The whole batch of beggar's chicken sold out very quickly.
Seeing that there were still quite a few people in line, Lin Zhou had no choice but to start baking the next batch.
He was starving after grilling for so long.
But each batch only has twenty, and they were devoured in no time; there simply weren't enough to eat.
"The next batch won't be ready for two hours. Can you wait?"
After Lin Zhou finished speaking, the diners in front of him hesitated.
Waiting a while is fine, but waiting for two hours is a bit too long.
And it's so cold outside, it's really freezing.
In the north, locals rarely go out during the winter.
Unless it's absolutely necessary to travel.
For example, going to work!
"Boss, I'd like to go outside for a walk first, and come back to pick it up in two hours, is that alright?"
Lin Zhou nodded and handed him a note that read, "Get a number."
How many do you want?
"One."
...
The same was true for the people queuing behind, until all 19 beggar's chickens in the pot were pre-ordered.
Lin Zhou told the people behind him, "Wait for the next batch."
The diners were in a dilemma. Waiting two hours was already a struggle, but now they had to wait four hours, which meant dinner was out of the question.
Huh?
dinner?
That's perfect! After a stroll around, I can bring home a beggar's chicken for dinner.
Yes, yes.
"Give me one, I'll come pick it up in four hours."
Looking at the diner's expression, Lin Zhou thought he would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed.
"OK."
Lin Zhou naturally didn't refuse the beggar's chicken he brought, which was a ready-made business opportunity.
They immediately wrote down a number for the customer.
It looks like we've already pre-ordered the next batch.
Of the remaining diners, some left, while others continued to wait.
Most of them took their number plates and went to play elsewhere.
Lin Zhou finally had some free time, so he took out his phone to watch a show. He sat by the fireplace and wasn't cold at all. If you didn't look at his current appearance, he would have been incredibly relaxed.
On the other side, the tourists who bought beggar's chicken were shocked after eating it. They never expected that Harbin would not only be fun, but also delicious.
Those promotional videos appeared online not long after.
Harbin Ice Cream is especially popular right now.
After Baihe became popular recently, many tourists came to Bailongjiang for tourism, but you can't just visit one place.
Then more people came to Harbin.
The Ice and Snow World has been open to the public.
That immediately went viral online.
The video of Lin Zhou's stall has been released and is generating a lot of buzz.
In particular, Lin Zhou's stall location is right at the entrance of the Ice and Snow World.
It's incredibly popular.
It was quickly shared by a large number of netizens.
First, there was a video of Lin Zhou's face being blackened by smoke while he was setting up a stall. It was the first time that people had seen someone's face turn black from smoke while setting up a stall, and quite a few people came to watch the spectacle.
Then came the beggar's chicken, and the video of Lin Zhou, with his dark, grimy face, punching each beggar's chicken one by one was incredibly satisfying to watch.
Then there's the video of Xiao Xian and the men in line who think they can do it too.
The before-and-after comparison is so funny.
It's like watching a TV series.
The entertainment atmosphere is off the charts.
The netizens were thoroughly amused.
"This video is full of twists and turns. I thought it was just an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes with his face blackened by smoke, but then I found out that the owner was selling beggar's chicken."
"Then I felt really good when the boss punched me like a beggar's chicken, it was very relaxing."
"I thought this was the highlight of the video, but the appearance of the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix was really exciting. It was a great show, and it also showed me how strong the boss is. Forgive me for not realizing that the mud shell was so hard before. The sound of my hand hitting the shell when I punched it made me wince."
"Is this the skill of the old man selling food at a roadside stall in Harbin?"
"The old man is really strong, stronger than two young men."
"To be honest, some young adults are not as strong as some older people because they came from that generation and did a lot of manual labor, like farming, which requires strength. It's normal for young people to have different strengths now that they sit in offices all day."
"I'm curious to know how this beggar's chicken tastes? It looks delicious!"
"There are so many people in line, are they all tourists? Are there any locals eating here?"
"..."
