"Then give me two tofu buns."
Without hesitation, Wang Chuanjuan took out her phone and asked how much it would cost, preparing to pay.
"Ten yuan."
How much? Ten yuan for two tofu buns?
For a moment, Wang Chuanjuan thought she had misheard.
But seeing that Lin Zhou didn't react much, he silently paid ten yuan.
She had already come all this way, and even though two vegetarian buns cost ten yuan, she still wanted to try them.
I wonder if it tastes as good as it smells.
Before three minutes had passed, another jogger stopped in front of Lin Zhou's stall, drawn by the aroma.
"Boss, how much are the steamed buns?"
"Beef buns are ten yuan each, and tofu buns are five yuan each."
Lin Zhou replied dutifully, his attitude not particularly enthusiastic, but still polite.
With his current culinary skills and the recipes provided by the system, he can make anything taste heavenly, no matter what he makes.
They have no shortage of customers.
With the experience gained from setting up a stall last week, I can now describe myself as very familiar with the process.
They can handle guests very well.
The older brother was also shocked when he heard the price; five yuan for a bun was really outrageous.
But then came the curiosity: what kind of tofu buns cost five yuan?
"Have one and try it!"
"Wait a moment, it's not ready yet."
Lin Zhou smiled and calmly put away his phone, standing guard in front of his stall.
With guests around, he can't slack off and play on his phone.
Watching the steam rising from the steamer, estimating the time, and as soon as the time was right, I put on gloves and picked up a stack of steamers, revealing the buns at the bottom.
The steaming white mist and the aroma of steamed buns suddenly spread, and an even richer fragrance permeated the air.
The uncle selling fried skewers next to him was attracted and stared at it without blinking.
The steamed buns in the steamer were all thin-skinned and generously filled, and they were all the same size and shape. They looked like works of art that had been copied and pasted together. They were all exquisite and looked more like semi-finished products made by machine than handmade buns.
But upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem like it. You can smell the aroma of wheat and the spicy flavor of the filling, and the buns don't have a rigid shape, so they don't look like they were made by machine.
Lin Zhou took a disposable bag, filled it with two tofu buns, and handed them to Wang Chuanjuan.
Wang Chuanjuan took it, and immediately felt the heat and picked up the bag instead of holding it in her hand.
They also gained an understanding of the temperature of freshly steamed buns.
But I couldn't resist taking a bite.
These spicy tofu buns have thin skins and generous fillings. During the steaming process, the chili oil seeps out from the tofu, and the bright red chili oil permeates the folds of the bun's surface, emitting a delicate spicy aroma that contrasts sharply with the white and tender bun skin, making it clearly visible even at night.
The allure of freshly steamed buns is undeniable; anyone who sees them can't resist taking a bite, and at that moment, who cares if they're hot?
Wang Chuanjuan took a bite and tasted the filling inside the steaming hot bun. It was so hot that she had to open her mouth and exhale several times before daring to put it in her mouth.
The bright red tofu is soaked in the red sauce and oil, and sprinkled with scallions. With each bite, the spicy sauce and the wheat flavor of the bun complement each other perfectly and spread throughout your mouth.
The scalding hot texture and spicy flavor made her unable to stop, and she immediately took another big bite of the bun, filling her entire mouth.
The soft and fluffy dough wraps around the spicy and delicious tofu, and one bite is truly satisfying, making it impossible to stop eating.
The man next to Lin Zhou also took the steamed buns from him. After tasting them, his eyes lit up. He looked at Lin Zhou excitedly, pointed at the steamed buns in the steamer, and said loudly, "Boss, give me ten more!"
With the two promoting their work on site.
Soon, some people couldn't resist the temptation of the freshly steamed buns.
The owner of the fried food stall next door also ordered two steamed buns.
There was no longer any confusion about Lin Zhou selling steamed buns in the park late at night.
Once you taste it, all your thoughts vanish.
It smells amazing! It smells so good!
The soft yet chewy bun skin feels like eating a cloud.
The filling is flavorful enough, and the soybean-sized tofu cubes absorb the broth, making every bite delicious and juicy, just like eating soup dumplings.
The spicy seasoning completely masked the beany smell of the tofu, leaving only a mellow flavor that blended with the aroma of wheat, creating an amazing taste.
"tasty!"
The constant praise and the rich aroma immediately boosted Lin Zhou's business, attracting several customers at once.
"Boss, two steamed buns, please!"
"OK."
"I want three!"
"I want one to try..."
Lin Zhou's hands are quite fast at packing buns.
While packing the steamed buns, I also took the time to turn off the heat and let the beef steamed buns next to me simmer.
Wang Chuanjuan, who had been standing by the stall eating a steamed bun the whole time, saw Lin Zhou's actions and asked in surprise, "Boss, are the beef buns ready?"
"Not yet, it needs to simmer for three minutes."
Upon hearing Lin Zhou's words, the young girl who had just ordered the tofu bun immediately changed her mind and said, "Boss, then I'll have one beef bun and one tofu bun!"
Lin Zhou looked up and saw that she was at the back of the line, so he nodded and agreed.
Once one person changes their tune, another will follow.
There are two flavors. Except for people who don't like beef, most people think that tofu buns are already delicious, and they don't know what beef buns taste like.
If you come across them, of course you have to try them all!
"Boss, I'd like two beef buns too."
"I want a tofu bun and a beef bun."
"Boss, five tofu buns and five beef buns, please."
"......"
At this moment, Lin Zhou was glad that he still had a good memory, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to tell who was who with so many guests at once.
"Please don't crowd, come one at a time."
First, pack the tofu buns; now we'll wait for the beef buns.
When the time was right, Lin Zhou lifted the lid of the steamer, revealing beef buns about the size of tofu buns.
The rich aroma of umami wafted out along with the steam, and everyone gathered around the stall, eagerly anticipating its arrival.
Wow~
These big, round, white, steaming hot buns are so tempting that even if you're not hungry, just looking at them makes you want to eat one to satisfy your cravings.
Wen Nan, who was passing by on her way home from get off work, smelled the aroma and saw a group of people gathered around a steamed bun stall on the roadside. Her stomach immediately started growling.
I got off work late today, it's almost nine o'clock and I still haven't gotten home for dinner.
Smelling the aroma of steaming hot buns, he subconsciously stopped his car and went to the stall to queue up.
The closer you get, the stronger the aroma of the steamed buns becomes.
Meanwhile, people around them were eating steamed buns.
The beef bun, juicy and full of oil, immediately caught his eye, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
It smells so good!
People eating steamed buns shared the same sentiment.
With each bite, the flavor of the beef is perfectly preserved. The Pixian chili bean paste is salty and savory with a hint of spiciness, while the pepper and Sichuan peppercorns mask any slight gamey taste. It's pure beef, without any unnecessary ingredients, and every bite is so fresh that it makes your tongue tremble.
