After preparing the stinky tofu, Lin Zhou went out to set up his stall.
Every day, we have to grind soybeans, make tofu, soak them in brine, and make stinky tofu so that we can have ready-made stinky tofu to sell at the stall the next day.
With yesterday's good business as a foundation, Lin Zhou wasn't worried at all about not being able to sell his stinky tofu.
Based on past experience with street vending, there will definitely be a lot of repeat customers today.
There's no need to worry about business anymore.
If business is not a problem, then there's even less to worry about in terms of tasks.
When he arrived at the base of the Eiffel Tower, Lin Zhou originally intended to find a random spot to stop and set up his stall.
Then, as soon as I got near the Eiffel Tower, I saw the same group of diners from yesterday.
Lin Zhou silently gave up the spot he had already chosen and drove the food cart in front of the group of people.
"Aaaaaah, the stinky tofu is here!"
"Great! I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch, I'm just waiting for the stinky tofu."
"How come it doesn't smell bad!"
"Idiot, the stinky tofu hasn't been taken out yet, the smell hasn't even dissipated. Just wait a bit, you'll smell it when the boss opens the box of stinky tofu, it'll be incredibly stinky!"
"..."
Lin Zhou's lips twitched. He couldn't tell whether those words were a compliment or something else.
Praising stinky tofu for its stench is a way of acknowledging its stench, right?
Lin Zhou parked the food cart and then lit the oil.
Diners then naturally began to line up.
As soon as the box was opened, the wonderfully pungent odor swept through the entire area like a wild horse unleashed.
In an instant, passersby covered their noses and looked around in fear.
This freshly fermented stinky tofu has an absolutely amazing flavor.
Lin Zhou was so close that he felt a rush of heat the moment the lid was opened; the smell was so strong that it stung his eyes.
It seemed to have materialized.
Thankfully, I had a mask to cushion the cough, so I wasn't coughed up by the smell.
In the group, apart from the Chinese, everyone was completely absorbed in the aroma.
The two foreigners immediately took out masks and put them on, just like Lin Zhou.
While it can't completely block out the smell, it can at least isolate it to some extent.
Upon seeing the stinky tofu, the eyes of the Liuzi who had followed them widened.
"This tastes great!"
"That's right, I haven't smelled this in a long time. Last time I went back to China, I ate fried skewers from a roadside stall, and the stinky tofu there didn't smell bad at all. It tasted just like fried tofu, nothing special. Unlike this stinky tofu, it smells delicious!"
"It smells awful, but I love it!"
Lin Zhou looked at the group of Liu Zi, who were acting like freaks, with their eyes closed and faces upturned in a blissful intoxication, inhaling the stench in the air. He really didn't know how to react.
Their appearance was so different from the people around them.
This caused pedestrians who smelled the stench to look even more horrified after finding the source of the odor and seeing this scene.
Cover your nose and get away quickly.
Lin Zhou's lips twitched; he felt his reputation had been unfairly damaged.
"Street vending is very popular now. My friend in China told me about a street vendor who is very famous. He sets up stalls everywhere and a group of people follow him around. He changes locations every week. I never thought I could see street vendors abroad."
Lin Zhou: Is it possible that he is the one who is responsible for all of them?
Lin Zhou listened to their words without saying a word.
Once the oil in the pot gets hot and small bubbles appear, it means the stinky tofu is ready to be put into the pot.
After adjusting the heat, Lin Zhou used tongs to drop pieces of stinky tofu one by one into the oil.
Suddenly, the previously calm oil surface was covered with violent bubbles, which rose and burst repeatedly.
Until the grayish-brown stinky tofu gradually turns black and begins to float to the surface, the aroma of the fried tofu manages to hold its own against the intense stench.
The atmosphere at the scene was even more enticing.
Lin Zhou, judging the heat perfectly, used a slotted spoon to scoop all the stinky tofu out of the pot in one swift motion.
Suddenly, the tray was filled with a pile of dark, puffed-up black tofu blocks, shiny and very tempting.
Stinky tofu is a rare food that is dark in color and not very appetizing, yet it is still loved by many people.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhou served stinky tofu to the guests while frying another pot of stinky tofu.
How much do you want?
"Ten dollars a serving, five dollars a serving."
Lin Zhou spoke, holding up a disposable bowl.
"Give me five servings first, I'll eat them."
One pot of stinky tofu is only enough for three guests, but thankfully the next pot is almost ready.
Charlie was overjoyed by the smell of stinky tofu.
They arrived late; it's not their turn yet.
Charlie could only watch enviously as the diners in front of him ate.
The owner stood at the end of the line, making a phone call.
Attracted by the stinky tofu, it walked over to Gao Xianyu.
Perhaps she still remembers him.
Charlie dragged the leash to him, his eyes filled with longing for the stinky tofu, and squatted down in front of him expectantly.
The longing in his eyes turned into drool, which dripped down his face drop by drop.
Gao Xianyu found it strange.
He picked up a piece of stinky tofu with a fork but didn't eat it; he just waved it back and forth in front of Charlie.
Afraid of going too far, he even checked the length of the dog leash, worried that the dog might eat the stinky tofu in one bite, so he kept the distance just right to tempt the dog.
Let the dog see it, but not be able to eat it.
Charlie was really craving it.
My roommate next to me was also eating stinky tofu. Judging from his expression, it was hard to tell who was the dog.
How old are you, doing this kind of thing!
When Charlie's owner finished the phone call, he turned around and saw Charlie staring longingly at a piece of stinky tofu, looking at it as if it were worthless.
