Zhou Bihua immediately crawled under the bed, took out the jar against the wall, carefully opened the lid, and a strong stench blew out.
Wang Xiaolan took a few steps back and frowned, saying, "This fermented tofu is really smelly."
Wang Shanhu pinched her nose and said, "Sister Wang, I didn't lie, did I?"
Wang Xiaolan nodded and said, "Yes, a little bit, but it's really not good to keep this thing in the dormitory."
After hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, Zhou Bihua said unwillingly: "Since Xiaolan has said so, I, I... I can only throw it away..." and walked towards the door holding the jar.
Wang Xiaolan said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, don't be in a hurry to throw it away!"
When Zhou Bihua heard this, he looked at Wang Xiaolan in disbelief.
Wang Shanhu asked in confusion: "Sister Wang, you won't change your mind, will you?"
Wang Xiaolan explained with a smile, "This is a specialty unique to Sister Zhou's area! It's more than just food; it's a symbol of a long-standing and unique culinary culture. You can't find this unique delicacy anywhere else! For example, in southern China, there's a famous snack called stinky tofu."
"As you can guess from the name, it smells stinky, but if you're brave enough to try it, you'll find it's absolutely delicious and leaves you wanting more! There's also a type of rice noodle called snail noodles. Oh, that peculiar smell you can smell from a distance, and it's certainly not pleasant. But once you put it in your mouth and savor it carefully, you'll be overwhelmed by the rich, mellow flavor. The locals love it."
Wang Shanhu said, "Sister Wang, I understand what you mean. This is a dormitory after all. Even if we can tolerate it, others won't."
Zhou Bihua, having received Wang Xiaolan's approval, proudly said to Wang Shanhu: "Shanhu, it won't be long before you become addicted to it."
Wang Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, "Let me think of a way to have the best of both worlds!"
Zhou Bihua asked in disbelief, "I've been eating stinky fermented tofu in the village for so many years, and no one can resist the smell."
Wang Xiaolan said with a determined look on her face: "Well, in that case, let me be the deodorizer!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly took action. She reached out her hand and pretended to grope for something in the bag she was carrying, as if there really was deodorant in it.
However, only she herself knew that the bottle of deodorant she took out did not come from an ordinary shoulder bag, but from her own space.
As the two watched, Wang Xiaolan poured the small bottle of deodorant into the jar in front of her, which was emitting a foul odor. Suddenly, a miracle happened! The nauseating stench that had filled the air suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if by magic.
Zhou Bihua and Wang Shanhu widened their eyes and looked at Wang Xiaolan in disbelief for a long time.
Zhou Bihua said worriedly, "Xiaolan, after what you did, is this still edible?"
Wang Xiaolan laughed and said, "Are you scared?"
Although Zhou Bihua was worried, she still shook her head against her will.
Wang Xiaolan saw through it and teased her, "You're right, you can't eat it."
Zhou Bihua's eyes widened and he cried out, "Ah!"
Wang Xiaolan raised the corner of her mouth, took out a small spoon from her bag, scooped out a small spoonful from it, put it to her mouth, and said, "Do you dare to try it?"
Zhou Bihua stared at the fermented tofu in front of her with wide eyes. Although on the surface, it seemed unchanged, she was also a cultured person! She knew very well that the unknown liquid Wang Xiaolan had just poured into it must have produced some kind of chemical reaction with the original substance in the jar.
At that moment, Zhou Bihua's mind raced through every possible scenario: Would the fermented tofu become poisonous? Would it cause physical discomfort, or even worse? This barrage of questions left her unsure whether the fermented tofu was still safe to consume.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bihua couldn't help but shake her head, as if this could shake off all the fear and doubt in her heart. At the same time, her steps also uncontrollably retreated little by little.
Wang Xiaolan found it funny that she was hesitant to open her mouth. She put the fermented tofu in the spoon into her mouth, savored it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! This tastes so fresh."
Zhou Bihua watched Wang Xiaolan's face, transfixed and filled with joy, a trace of doubt rising in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to trust Wang Xiaolan. Carefully, she extended her index finger and dipped a tiny bit into the jar. A trace of crystal-clear liquid clung to her fingertip, emitting an alluring aroma.
Zhou Bihua slowly put her finger into her mouth. When the tip of her tongue touched the liquid, she was completely stunned. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her originally small eyes were now wide open, and her face was full of disbelief and surprise.
After a long while, Zhou Bihua finally recovered. His voice trembled with excitement as he said, "Oh my God! After you treated it like this, it tastes several times more delicious than before! Xiaolan, what magical thing did you add to it? The taste is simply amazing, so delicious!"
Wang Xiaolan smiled and said, "This is a seasoning that our food factory has just developed. It hasn't been officially launched yet and is still in the verification phase."
Seeing that the two of them were eating with gusto and praising the food highly, Wang Shanhu took out some from the jar and tasted it with half belief and half doubt.
