Those who hadn't left yet couldn't hide their astonishment when they heard the foreign man's words.
No, this stuff tastes good?
A group of foreigners with different expressions all had a feeling that the person who was clearly from their country was being paid to say such things.
Otherwise, how could they have the courage to eat something so smelly and even praise it as delicious!
And they ate more than one piece!
For a moment, the passersby who were about to cover their noses and leave were stunned by the foreign man's loud praise of the delicious food, and they even stopped in their tracks.
All eyes were focused on Lin Zhou's stall.
People who love to join in the fun can be found everywhere.
Before the foreign man had even finished his plate of stinky tofu, Lin Zhou had already attracted a second foreign diner.
Lin Zhou believes that foreigners who have never been exposed to stinky tofu before and dare to try it despite the strong smell are people who like challenges and have courage.
Lin Zhou smiled as he fried the stinky tofu, watching the diners who dared to try it.
This stinky tofu is indeed a bit smelly, but that's the smell of fermentation!
How can it taste good without fermentation!
"Please enjoy your stinky tofu."
Lin Zhou seemed intent on bringing the delicious taste of stinky tofu abroad, warmly welcoming diners like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Gao Xianyu was still eating.
It's impossible to stop.
Lin Zhou prepared one portion, and he ate one portion.
Are you sure it's safe to eat?
A new foreign diner, watching his fellow countryman who had already finished a serving of stinky tofu, held his breath and asked in a low voice.
Foreign men believe that people from different countries still have different tastes, especially when it comes to Lin Zhou and Gao Xianyu, who are clearly not from their country.
People from the same country tend to have more similar tastes.
The foreign man, his face flushed red from the spiciness, nodded earnestly when faced with a question from his fellow countryman.
"Ignoring the unpleasant smell, it's still very delicious."
He would pinch his nose while eating.
The inability to smell the aroma actually enhances the enjoyment of the flavor.
"Follow my example: hold your breath, pick up a piece of tofu with a fork, pinch your nose with your hand, and then put it in your mouth. That's how you enjoy the delicious taste."
Lin Zhou and Gao Xianyu stood to the side, watching the two foreign men, wondering if what they had learned was useful. They pinched their noses with one hand and started eating with the other.
Indeed, it's always the foreigners who make a fool of themselves.
It's just eating stinky tofu, why is it taking so much effort?
Gao Xianyu's lips twitched. In the time it took these two foreign men to eat a piece of stinky tofu, he could have finished a whole serving.
"Boss, this is too wasteful. Just put several portions into one bowl. Each portion makes a bowl dirty, and we haven't even finished the condiments. It's better to just put them all together."
Lin Zhou didn't care. He figured it was all the same anyway, and it was just a trivial matter. He would just handle whatever the customer said.
The Chinese people's frugal nature is a habit that is truly prevalent among everyone, from the elderly to the young.
When something is delicious, you can't bear to waste even a drop of the dipping sauce.
I wish I could finish the tofu and even scoop out all the cilantro and sauce inside and eat it.
Lin Zhou put two servings of stinky tofu in the disposable paper bowl, which seemed about right.
If you add too much, the sauce won't soak the food completely.
"Do you eat stinky tofu as your main meal?"
Lin Zhou counted, and this person had already eaten more than twenty servings; money was secondary.
Even the most delicious foods shouldn't be eaten in excess; we should always remember the principle of moderation.
What if I overeat and get an upset stomach?
Being in a foreign land, Lin Zhou was still a little worried as a citizen of his own country.
"If you like it, you can come back tomorrow. I've been setting up my stall here all week."
"Hey, it's just a few pieces of tofu, what's the big deal?"
Gao Xianyu patted his stomach. He hadn't eaten lunch, and this little bit of tofu wouldn't fill him up at all.
"I feel like I can still eat."
Seeing Gao Xianyu's unfulfilled expression, clinging to the stinky tofu and refusing to let go, Lin Zhou sighed helplessly.
"Okay, don't push yourself."
Lin Zhou and Gao Xianyu were chatting in Chinese, which the two foreigners couldn't understand.
I just felt that stinky tofu was delicious, and then I got really addicted to it after eating it.
They had never tasted this kind of smelly yet fragrant food before, and now that they had, they couldn't stop eating it.
Then, Gao Xianyu wasn't the only one waiting to fry stinky tofu at Lin Zhou's stall.
The three people stood in a row, eating stinky tofu one bite after another.
Lin Zhou's oil fryer never stopped, frying stinky tofu one pot after another.
The stench lingered for a long time.
People drawn by the stench found its source and immediately saw three people standing in a row, eating voraciously with expressions that were quite amusing.
"What are they eating? It smells awful!"
"Is it edible? Is it some kind of prank competition?"
"Three people are having a competition to see who can eat the most."
"It smells so bad, just how awful does it taste?!"
"Is there any reward for winning? If you gave me ten thousand dollars to eat this stinky stuff, I'd still be willing to give it a try!"
"How could that be? I didn't see any cameras. It's probably not a competition."
"..."
Whether in China or abroad, not only people love to watch exciting events, but animals are no exception.
The dog, which was following its owner and watching the fun, smelled the stinky tofu and its eyes were full of longing.
They stared longingly at the food cart, their mouths watering.
If it weren't for the tether, it probably would have run all the way to the dining car.
The dog's intentions were quite obvious; even when being pulled by its owner, it kept trying to get closer to the food cart.
Even the owner had some difficulty pulling it.
"Charlie, behave yourself."
Charlie ignored him and turned back to call out to his master, as if he were about to go over there.
The owner had no choice; once the dog got stubborn, it was quite strong.
We could only follow the direction it was going and walked to Lin Zhou's dining car.
Seeing the dog's hungry look, the owner's face darkened considerably.
It smells so bad. If you eat it, the stench will linger at home, and your whole house will stink.
No, no, that won't do.
"No, no, Charlie, let's go home!"
Seeing that the dog really wanted to eat, the owner quickly tried to pull the leash away.
He didn't even consider that the dog had finally gotten close to the smell that attracted it, so how could it not want to leave?
The key is that the dog also knows how to use leverage.
Her body was being pulled into the air, and her hands were clinging tightly to Lin Zhou's food cart.
Lin Zhou's lips twitched, unsure whether to offer some advice or not.
Seeing that another big show was about to unfold, Gao Xianyu was delighted. With stinky tofu in his mouth, he stretched the bowl out in front of the dog to tempt it.
When the stinky tofu was placed on the left, the dog turned its head to the left, sniffed deeply, opened its mouth, stuck out its tongue, and started drooling.
Gao Xianyu found it amusing and moved the stinky tofu to the right, causing the dog's head to turn as well, making him laugh heartily.
Lin Zhou: "..."
This guy looks pretty nasty.
Looking up, I saw the dog owner standing there, unable to pull the dog away, looking at the scene with a complicated expression.
