Chapter 11 Meow meow meow
Before I knew it, I had been setting up the stall for four days.
These four days were the happiest days for Jian Yunlan in the past ten years. Every day he only had to think about setting up the stall. Looking at the smiling faces in front of him after enjoying the delicious food, Jian Yunlan felt so satisfied.
In the weekly task of the Chef God system, he can only set up a stall at each location for six days, rest on Sundays, and will be randomly assigned to a new location next week.
Therefore, there are only two days left for the stall at the south gate of Peking University.
I'm really reluctant to let go.
Because there are only two days left, Jian Yunlan must give his best and go all out!
The next day, Jian Yunlan got up early again and went to the vegetable market to buy goods.
What kind of wontons shall we make today?
It was windy all night yesterday and the weather turned completely cooler; it’s autumn already. The vendors in the farmers' market also wore long sleeves, and everyone gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
As soon as she entered the vegetable market, a lavender halo attracted Jian Yunlan's attention.
——It’s a tomato!
The halo comes from the left corner, where a girl in high school uniform is helping her grandfather spread out the tomatoes on the ground. The tomatoes were very large and plump, round and red, with deep stems covered with morning dew.
You can tell at first glance that this is a top-notch tomato.
It seems that it makes sense that the Kitchen God System rated tomatoes as 'excellent'.
"Boss, would you like to buy some tomatoes?" The girl in school uniform greeted Jian Yunlan warmly when she saw her coming over. Her Mandarin had a Henan accent. "Boss, you are so handsome. I'll give you a discount!"
Before Jian Yunlan could reply, she picked a plump tomato from the stall, rinsed it with water, and stuffed it into his hand: "Here, have a taste, my family grows it ourselves, it's sour, sweet, and juicy, and it's not sprayed with any pesticides, it's delicious!"
Jian Yunlan took the tomato and took a bite.
The sour and sweet juice overflows, and there is more juice than the flesh. The flesh has a crunchy texture and is delicious when eaten raw.
This kind of tomato is best for making soup.
Jian Yunlan has an idea about the flavor of wontons for tonight.
"How many tomatoes are you selling? I want them all." said Jian Yunlan.
The high school girl opened her mouth wide and looked at him exaggeratedly.
...Recently, there has been a rumor in the farmers' market that there is a very generous and handsome boss who can take away all the goods from a stall whenever he arrives at the stall.
I didn’t expect it to be true! She actually met him!
"Okay, boss!" The girl smiled happily, "I have some baby cabbages here, they're also delicious, I'll give them to you for free."
While she was packing for Jian Yunlan, she stuffed a handful of baby cabbages into the food. The cabbages had a tight core and were a uniform light yellow color. They looked sweet and fresh.
What a treasure.
Jian Yunlan happily rode her tricycle, bought tomatoes, and then went to the seafood market to pick the tenderest shrimps.
Tomatoes, baby cabbage, and shrimp are the perfect combination for autumn dinner.
After buying the ingredients, Jian Yunlan returned to the villa with a load of stock. It was still early, so he took a nap.
When he got up, the supervisor knocked on his door and said, "Master, Professor Wang sent someone to give you some new garlic. He said it was grown by his students."
Jian Yunlan remembered that Professor Wang had indeed sent him a WeChat message earlier today, saying that he wanted to give him some garlic.
He took the garlic and looked at it. It was firm, plump and heavy.
The Kitchen God system is rated as good.
Professor Wang is such a good person, and the gift I gave him really touched his heart. If he gave her any calligraphy or antiques, Jian Yunlan would not accept them, but garlic...
Jian Yunlan took it with satisfaction.
In the afternoon, he began preparations for the day.
Professor Wang’s garlic was put to use immediately.
After heating the oil in a pan, add a large amount of minced garlic. The fresh minced garlic will be stir-fried in the hot oil until slightly charred, and the fragrant garlic aroma and wok flavor will immediately hit your nose. Then, cut the bright red and plump tomatoes into pieces, add seasonings, and simmer over low heat.
Wash the baby cabbage and cut it into pieces for later use. Out of personal preference, Jian Yunlan also bought some enoki mushrooms, which can also be spread in the tomato soup base.
The wontons were the fresh shrimp wontons that she had made before. As there was no time to find a male model today, Jian Yunlan asked the housekeeper and aunt to help peel the shrimps and remove the threads. Today, she would not chop the shrimp into paste, but try to keep the whole shrimp and wrap them into small wontons.
He makes his wonton skins by kneading, rolling and slicing the dough himself every day. The wonton skin should be thin but not broken. Only he, with his excellent cooking skills, can make wonton skin so accurately that is thinner and tougher than that made by a machine.
Everything was ready and time quietly came to six o'clock.
Set up the stall!
When we arrived at the south gate of Peking University, it was already crowded with people.
At a quick glance, there are at least fifty or sixty people queuing up. If Jian Yunlan still announces a limit of two servings per person, then the diners currently queuing up will be able to buy up all one hundred servings.
Not to mention the other people who were attracted here in an endless stream.
The south gate of Peking University is close to the business district. Today is Friday, and many tired office workers and students from other schools are walking around here. Seeing this unusual queue of people, many people are curious:
"What kind of queue is this?"
"Are there any celebrities coming? Or are there any special offers?"
"I'm curious, I'll line up too."
...It is the nature of the Chinese people to like to join in the fun. When they see so many people queuing up, even if they don’t know the reason, they instinctively want to queue up as well, for fear of missing out on something.
As a result, the team grew larger and larger.
There were still many people hesitating nearby, knowing that they could not buy it even if they queued up, so they had to find other ways.
When Jian Yunlan just appeared, many diners who had not queued came over, each showing off their magical powers.
The security guy at the south gate came late today and didn't get in line. He looked at Jian Yunlan eagerly and said, "Boss, can you make an exception and sell me one? I'll teach you a set of military boxing."
After saying that, he actually performed a set of military boxing, which was very vigorous and looked very handsome.
crowd:"……"
"handsome!"
"He is handsome indeed..."
"But boss, please don't sell it to him. There is no order without rules! People who don't queue up can't eat wontons!"
The security guy walked to the end of the line with his head down pitifully.
Xie Anyang and his girlfriend Ye Ming held hands and also tried to take a shortcut. Xie Anyang held a light board, a brochure, and some small cards, standees, and placards of Jian Yunlan made by his girlfriend. On them were photos of Jian Yunlan setting up a stall these days, and hand-painted figurines:
"Boss, we are both the presidents of your fan club, and we love you so much! Can you make an exception and buy us a copy?"
Everyone: “…”
No, does a snack stand owner also have a fan club? !
Before Jian Yunlan could say anything, many female college students in the team could no longer move and said, "Fuck, this little card is so pretty."
"What about the stand and the baji?!" The girls' eyes widened and they couldn't help but ask them, "Do you sell these peripherals?"
The man who eats grain, the soul who eats grain.
But that Q version of Boss Jian riding a tricycle and holding a wonton doll is really cute!
Many girls were attracted by the surroundings and left the team. The team immediately moved forward a lot, and Xie Anyang and his girlfriend joined the team.
Female college students: “…”
Damn, I got cheated!
Then, the tech geeks in plaid shirts came forward with their computers, trying to divert attention: "Boss, I want to ask you about this code. Do you think this code will make the wontons delicious?"
Because the technique was too clumsy, it was seen through by the crowd at a glance.
There was also a professor who came from the School of Economics and Management and said seriously, "Boss, how about this, I'll pay 100 yuan per copy, can you sell me one in advance?"
The crowd immediately booed: "No involution!"
But soon, a weak voice came from another corner: "I can pay 150..."
"I'll give you two hundred!"
"three hundred!"
Jian Yunlan: "Okay, everyone, stop making a fuss, this is not an auction."
He was very happy that everyone liked his wontons, but order had to be maintained.
There are so many hungry mouths waiting for him to be fed!
Facing the enthusiastic diners, Jian Yunlan opened the lid of the pot.
A rich tomato aroma spread instantly. The tomato soup was very thick and bubbling, with a sour, sweet and warm flavor that made people's stomachs growl.
Everyone lined up with an empty stomach, and when they smelled this, their eyes widened instantly.
"Wontons are still 30 yuan a portion, today they are tomato soup wontons!"
Jian Yunlan announced.
The diners were excited and lined up, scrambling to pay.
Jian Yunlan moved quickly and put the wontons into the pot. His memory was good. There were a lot of customers today, but he could still tell who was who.
Li Yun was still at the front of the line.
After so many days, she has become a loyal fan of Jian Yunlan Wonton! From the fresh meat and corn wontons at the beginning to the fresh shrimp wontons and red oil dumplings later, every day is delicious and different.
After a tiring day, eating a bowl of hot wontons has become the highlight of her day.
Moreover, Jian Yunlan also remembered her. When she saw her, she smiled and nodded at her: "You are here today too? Is the class hard?"
Li Yun's eyes sparkled as she shook her head frantically: "It's not hard. As long as I can eat the boss' wontons, there's no such thing as hard work!"
While waiting for the wontons, Li Yun and Jian Yunlan started chatting: "Boss, why don't you open a store? Your business will definitely be very prosperous!"
Jian Yunlan smiled and shook her head: "I don't like opening a store, I just like setting up a stall."
Only by setting up a stall can he watch customers eat delicious food face to face. Opening a store requires a lot of trivial matters to be dealt with, and there are few opportunities to interact with diners. That is not what he wants.
Setting up a stall is his ultimate ideal!
Li Yun couldn't quite understand this train of thought, but she chose to respect it.
Soon, a bowl of steaming tomato soup wontons was handed to her.
——The tomato soup, the boiling orange-red soup has a layer of golden oil floating on the surface, bubbling, and you can see the whole tomato, which is boiled into a very thick, almost semi-liquid, with a dense and delicate texture. A sweet and sour aroma wafts into your nose, and your mouth starts to water automatically just by smelling it.
The white wontons lie in it, and the thin wonton skin after being heated is tightly attached to the meat filling, and a whole pink shrimp can be seen inside. In addition to wontons, the tomato soup is also filled with baby cabbage and enoki mushrooms, which absorb the soup.
Li Yun swallowed several times and couldn't wait to start eating.
Just as she was about to scoop up a spoonful of the thick soup to taste it, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd not far away, and a person fell to the ground.
"It's Ning Sheng!"
"What happened to the school hunk? Why did he faint?!"
"The school hospital is so far away from here, call 120 quickly, saving lives is urgent!"
Hearing the name "Ning Sheng", Li Yun stood up and walked towards the direction where the voice came from.
Sure enough, in the center of the crowd, a tall and thin figure was half leaning against the wall. His face was pale, his lips were dry, his whole body was shaking slightly, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye looked like it was crying blood, which made people feel very distressed.
Several classmates around him lifted him up and asked him with concern: "Classmate, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Dizziness," Ning Sheng said with difficulty, his voice was very soft, "I can't see clearly, and I feel anxious..."
Hearing this description, Li Yun immediately said: "He may have hypoglycemia, give him something to eat!"
Li Yun herself is a hypoglycemic patient. Sometimes she gets so busy that she forgets to eat. She gets dizzy and feels like vomiting. Judging from Ning Sheng's performance, it is very likely that he has symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Food needs to be replenished in time.
"We've called 120. They'll arrive in ten minutes. Let's find him something to eat first!"
Someone took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Ning Sheng's mouth, but Ning Sheng couldn't swallow it and spit it out uncontrollably.
Everyone secretly thought that something was wrong.
It would be dangerous if you can't even eat sugar.
Just then, Jian Yunlan stepped through the crowd, holding a bowl of wonton soup with tomato sauce.
Suddenly someone fainted in front of his snack stand, and Jian Yunlan certainly couldn't just sit there and watch.
"Can you drink the soup?" Jian Yunlan asked.
Ning Sheng didn't answer, his lips trembled slightly.
Li Yun took the wonton bowl, held the spoon, and put a spoonful of tomato soup to Ning Sheng's lips. Ning Sheng opened his mouth with difficulty and drank the soup.
——The thick soup flows into the lips and teeth, with a sour and sweet taste and an extremely delicate texture, which instantly warms the whole body. The freshness of the tomatoes, the aroma of garlic, and some shrimp oil are blended into it. It is bubbling hot and slightly spicy. With this bite, the stomach that has been hungry for many days is suddenly awakened.
Then, the hunger came over me.
Ning Sheng couldn't help himself and drank mouthful after mouthful of the soup, and the wontons in the soup were also put into his mouth.
The wonton skin is thin and the filling is large. When you bite it with your teeth, you will find a whole greasy shrimp soaked in rich tomato soup. While chewing, every bite is filled with delicious sweet and sour juice. The freshest shrimps in autumn have an indescribable elastic and smooth feeling. They are wrapped in extremely tough wonton skin and mixed with rich sour tomato soup, which makes people unable to stop.
Not only the wontons, but also the side dishes in the tomato soup base are delicious. The baby cabbage has a crisp, tender and sweet taste, which dilutes the greasiness brought by the shrimp meat, while the enoki mushrooms that have absorbed the soup are sour, sweet and rich, and very chewy.
Ning Sheng ate slowly at first, but later almost wolfed down the food, which was very different from the reserved and cool image everyone had in mind.
Because he ate too quickly, he choked and coughed, and even -
Ning Sheng: “Hiccup.”
Even though he choked from swallowing too quickly, he was reluctant to spit it out and forced himself to swallow it, his entire fair face turning red.
Female college students: “!!!”
Although they can understand that wontons are indeed delicious, but...ahhh, where is your image, school hunk!
It looks cute, but Ning Sheng, your image as the cold and aloof flower on the mountain has collapsed!
What kind of high-class beauty would eat wontons on the roadside and burp all the time?
Many girls who were once madly infatuated with him couldn't bear to look at him anymore and turned their heads away, feeling somewhat disillusioned.
...But, many students also discovered for the first time that Ning Sheng was also an ordinary person.
Like ordinary people, he would feel cold, hungry, cry, and laugh. When he was very hungry and finally got to eat delicious food, he would chew and swallow it in big mouthfuls.
Ning Sheng is not some high-ranking academic master, nor is he the school hunk who has no desires or ambitions as everyone says. He is just like them, an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
Like them, Ning Sheng would also be impressed by this bowl of ultimate delicacy that was full of the flavor of everyday life.
At this moment, Ning Sheng's cell phone vibrated. Five hours later, he finally received a message from his mother. Ning Menglian replied to him:
[Mom, everything is fine. I was moving house with your grandma today, so I didn’t see your phone. What's the matter? 】
Mom is also safe.
Ning Sheng sat on the ground, holding the bowl, with his head buried low, and the tip of his nose was red.
He put down his phone, put the whole bowl of wontons into his mouth, scooped up all the soup, and muttered softly, "...delicious."
It’s so delicious.
It makes people feel, for the first time in a long time, that they are still alive.
Jian Yunlan, who could make such delicious food, was not the 'idle rich second generation' he had always believed. Only those who work hard to live their lives and treat others with passion can make such delicious food.
In a corner that many people didn't see, Ning Sheng lowered his head with moist eyes.
There were a few bodyguards in black standing in the distance, looking at the situation here and seemed a little anxious. After making a few phone calls, they turned around and left helplessly.
Ning Sheng calmed down.
What Ning Sheng didn't know was that in the parallel universe, his self had rejected countless people's advances and approaches with an indifferent tone.
But right now, in this time and space.
Ning Sheng raised his head and looked in the direction of Jian Yunlan. The corners of his eyes were red and his eyes were fluctuating. He asked shyly, "Wonton, are there any more?"
Looking at his eyes, Li Yun knew that the school hunk had also been successfully assimilated.
Join the glorious evolution!
I pay my sincerest tribute to Mr. Jian, the God of Wontons!
"As for wontons, we do have them," Li Yun said slowly.
"that is……"
Li Yun leaned to the side and pointed at the crowd of people in front of the snack stand:
“You have to queue.”
The line was so terrifying. The entire school gate was crowded with people. Everyone was eager to look out to see the small tricycle in the center, the steaming tomato soup on it, and the small white wontons on the chopping board.
Jian Yunlan, who was surrounded by the crowd, stood in the light, holding the spoon skillfully and neatly, with an almost divine aura.
Ning Sheng's breathing stagnated and he felt a little dizzy.
"If we start queuing now, how long will it take?"
"Soon." Li Yun looked at the crowd and said seriously, "You can start lining up now and wait for three days and three nights, then you should be able to eat."
Ning Sheng: “…”
Ning Sheng felt a black screen before his eyes and the world was spinning.
"Ahhh, he fainted! Call 120!!!"
"120 is here!"
The ambulance arrived and the well-trained medical staff put Ning Sheng on a stretcher and carried him away.
Many people looked at him with envy and jealousy.
——Ning Sheng was already very lucky. He got a bowl of wontons for free without queuing. Many people queued for several days but still couldn’t get a bowl.
I just regret that they are too healthy and don’t suffer from hypoglycemia or something.
In the ambulance, Ning Sheng was groggy, half asleep and half awake, still speaking with difficulty:
"Wonton..."
It was the first time that medical staff heard someone talking in such a strange sleep.
Everyone exchanged worried looks.
How come such a gentle and handsome child has only food on his mind?
——Burn up and become stupid?
