Chapter 98 Hot
Only then did he realize that the broken tricycle next to him was actually a stall selling tofu pudding.
When Guo Bing was a child, his favorite food was tofu pudding. It was an unforgettable taste from his childhood. There used to be an old man at the entrance of the alley who rode a tricycle to sell it. In addition to the regular salty tofu pudding, there was also hot and sour tofu pudding made with spicy soup.
The boss obviously didn’t know, but it didn’t matter, a bowl of salty tofu pudding could satisfy his craving.
Guo Bing originally planned to try it.
As the first customer today, Bai Mengmeng was very generous. Not only was the portion generous, but the back was also piled high with dried shrimps, seaweed and seasonings, making it look like a small hill.
Guo Bing took the tofu pudding, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and was immediately amazed.
Because the taste is so great, so smooth, it slides down your throat with just a little effort.
Moreover, the bean flavor is very strong, and it is full of sweetness in one bite. Paired with various dried goods and chives and pickled mustard, the complex taste blends in the mouth, which is so satisfying that it makes people feel satisfied.
The most special thing is that the sauce prepared by the boss at that time was not only extremely delicious, but also difficult to describe accurately in words. The taste was able to blend perfectly with the tofu pudding, and it tasted even better than the tofu pudding I had as a child.
"Boss, this tofu pudding is so delicious!"
Guo Bing finished the bowl of tofu pudding in no time.
But he was still not satisfied, so he quickly said, "Boss, I want to take some tofu pudding home. Can you give me a few?"
"Of course no problem." Bai Mengmeng actually opened this take-out business, right?
Two little girls were passing by and were immediately attracted to the tofu pudding when they saw it.
"I haven't eaten tofu pudding for a long time. There is actually a stall selling tofu pudding. Why don't we try it?" The two of them didn't care whether the tricycle was old or not.
Surrounded by smiling faces.
"Boss, do you have sweet tofu pudding?"
One of the little girls spoke excitedly. She was wearing a panda scarf and kept looking around.
She came from another province to work here. She had been used to eating sweet tofu pudding since she was a child, but she didn't expect that when she came here, all she could buy was salty or spicy tofu pudding. This was the first time she came across a stall selling sweet tofu pudding.
Bai Mengmeng smiled and nodded: "Of course there are, there are two sweet ones, one is brown sugar red bean, and the other is osmanthus honey."
"I want brown sugar! I haven't had it for a long time!" The little girl spoke quickly, looking really greedy.
"Then I want a bowl of salty food." Another little girl, who was from the local area, had never eaten salty tofu pudding since she was a child, so she naturally chose to eat salty food at this moment.
Hehe, business is getting better and better!
Seeing the surroundings becoming lively, Wang Hao and Hua Guduo also helped to prepare the seasonings and collect money. They had a tacit understanding with each other.
Tofu pudding is easy to make. The girl with the panda scarf paid the money and soon got a bowl of tofu pudding with brown sugar.
When she saw it, she was immediately stunned by the beauty.
I saw layer upon layer of tofu pudding, which looked white and tender, extremely smooth and very tempting.
There is also brown sugar syrup on top, which is dark red in color. You can tell at a glance that a lot of effort was put into cooking it. There are also many ripe and sandy red beans on top.
The aroma of these beans is particularly strong, mixed with sweet fragrance. It makes people drool before they even open their mouths to taste them.
When I put the tofu pudding into my mouth, I was even more surprised that the tofu pudding sold at this unprepossessing tricycle stall was so delicious!
Although the brown sugar has a rich color, it is not greasy. In addition, there are candied red beans, one after another, which can be put into the mouth without chewing. They melt in the mouth with a little effort and go into the stomach together with the smooth tofu pudding. It is really delicious, sweet and refreshing.
“This tastes really great!”
It can be said that the two little girls ate tofu pudding at the same time. Although they had different tastes, they praised it together.
"Boss, give me a bowl. I want tofu pudding with osmanthus and honey!"
The other girl was a little surprised at this time and asked curiously: "Can you still eat later? This is the first stall we bought. Didn't we agree to try all the stalls in the night market?"
The girl wearing a panda scarf had an intoxicated look on her face.
"But it's so delicious! It doesn't matter if I can't finish the rest. It definitely won't be as delicious as this tofu pudding. I must try every flavor of tofu pudding!"
These two people didn't look tall, but their voices were not low at all, which attracted the attention of many people around them.
"Oh? This tofu pudding is really delicious?"
Another old lady came over.
"It's super super delicious! Grandma, you can try it!"
"Then I'll try it. I want a bowl of salty tofu pudding."
"Give me a bowl, I want to taste what osmanthus tastes like."
Several customers were attracted and came to the tofu pudding stall. They bought tofu pudding and tasted it in front of the stall. For a moment, there were continuous exclamations of surprise.
"How is this tofu pudding made? It tastes so smooth!"
"In the middle of winter, a bowl of hot and spicy tofu pudding is a must. It's warming and stomach-warming, and it's really refreshing!"
"The boss lady looks familiar. Are you the owner of Qiong Ye Restaurant? No wonder the food is so delicious!"
"This tofu pudding is quite special. There's a tofu pudding maker in my hometown who's been making it for decades, but he doesn't seem to be as fragrant as this one."
"This flower honey is so fragrant and sweet. Boss, would you like to sell me some osmanthus honey? I want to take it back and make tea with it!"
After a while, more and more people gathered around, and a long line began to form in front of the stall.
This attracted more people, and more and more people came to line up, wanting to see what the tofu pudding that so many people were queuing for tasted like.
As a result, the squid stall next door suddenly became deserted.
Xie Defa's face was gloomy, and his words became slurred: "Damn! Did he find someone to help him?"
…
The tofu pudding was sold out before the New Year’s Eve bell rang.
The original price was not cheap, but maybe because it was New Year’s Eve, no one thought it was expensive.
As the New Year approaches, bells can be heard from Phoenix Temple.
Tourists all rushed into the temple to burn incense and pray in the morning.
Bai Mengmeng also suggested: "Why don't you two go for a walk too? I heard that the platform over there has a panoramic view of the entire Phoenix Temple, and there will be fireworks at 12 o'clock, so the view will be better there."
Huaguduo and Wang Hao were a little tempted, but they felt embarrassed to leave Bai Mengmeng alone, so they pulled her along.
"We don't have much tofu pudding anyway, let's save it for a midnight snack. Let's go together!"
"Forget it. There will be guests here after we burn incense, and I don't like crowds. You guys go ahead." Bai Mengmeng shook her head.
