"No, I meant the crispy potato you're making. It smells so good!" The girl interrupted the owner, pointing to the sizzling crispy potatoes on the griddle.
"This..." The grilled cold noodle vendor was about to sell the small potato, but smelling its mouth-watering aroma, he swallowed his words: "I'm not buying this. I made it for myself. Why don't you try my grilled cold noodles? My grilled cold noodles are delicious!"
"Ah, you're not buying!" A hint of disappointment appeared on the girl's face. Her brain sent the 'leave' command, but her body remained standing in front of the stall, motionless.
Seeing the girl's reluctant expression, the grilled cold noodle vendor's eyes darted around, he gritted his teeth, and said, "If you order a serving of grilled cold noodles, I'll give you a third of it, how about it?"
"Okay! Deal!"
The crispy, savory crust on the outside of the potato is crunchy and salty. With a satisfying crunch, your teeth break through this crispy barrier and enter the soft, moist interior of the potato. The creamy, moist sensation washes over all the taste buds in your mouth. As you chew, the crispy outer layer and the soft, chewy interior blend together, revealing the unique starchy sweetness of the potato amidst the savory flavor.
The grilled cold noodle vendor made only fifteen small potatoes for this serving, and one-third of that is five. After opening and closing his mouth five times, the crispy potato on top of the grilled cold noodles disappeared without a trace.
"Ah, this is the best crispy potato dish I've ever had in this city! Boss, are you selling crispy potato dishes at your stall tomorrow? If you are, I'll definitely come back for more!"
The grilled cold noodle shop owner was eager to accept this offer, but these small potatoes were rarely seen in either the farmers' market or the wholesale market. They were occasionally found in supermarkets, but the price was as high as five or six yuan per pound. Selling a serving of these small potatoes for eight yuan would definitely not sell, but if the price was lower, he wouldn't make a profit.
"I sell grilled cold noodles, and today's potatoes were a gift from a young girl; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat them." In the end, the grilled cold noodle shop owner reluctantly refused.
After watching the girl leave, the owner of the grilled cold noodles was picking up the plastic bag that was still on the ground when he suddenly found a flyer under the plastic bag.
[How to make mini potatoes, a specialty crop of Hezibao!]
The key point is not the instructions on the flyer, but the large text at the very bottom of the flyer.
[If you're interested in mini potatoes, you can vote for them on Xu's Catering's official WeChat account. If the number of votes exceeds one thousand, the mini potatoes will be available for sale at Xu's Braised Food Taobao store!]
[Tentative price: 10 yuan for 4 jin (2 kg) with free shipping!]
Four jin for ten yuan with free shipping. That's two yuan and fifty cents per jin. One jin can make two and a half servings of crispy potato dumplings. If each serving costs four yuan, one jin can sell for ten yuan!
The owner of the grilled cold noodles had a glint in his eyes. He carefully wiped the water off the flyer, folded it neatly, and put it in his pocket. He then fastened the pocket button to prevent it from falling out before standing up to continue his grilled cold noodles business.
