Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country

Chapter 626 - 583: We’re the Sunset Now; Losing to the Rising Sun Is Only Natural

Can you imagine that scene?

As a ladle of hot oil was slowly poured down, a cloud of white mist arose, accompanied by an aroma so rich that it made you want to devour it instantly.

The closer Guangxi is to Guangdong, the lighter the taste; conversely, the taste becomes heavier the further you go inland.

Ms. Wen normally enjoys spicy food, and it’s no exaggeration to say she can’t be happy without it. Spicy flavors are the most memorable tastes from her childhood.

Er Jingtiao peppers are not known for their spiciness, but when it comes to aroma, there’s hardly any rival globally. The intense spicy aroma is an absolute delight and somewhat of a torture for a spice lover.

Ms. Wen whispered to Zhuo Qianqian, "Boss lady, put more chilies in my portion, the real spicy ones."

Zhuo Qianqian understood immediately, gestured "OK," and scooped a spoonful of Wang Fan’s mixed chopped chilies, adding it onto the regular portion of beef while looking at Ms. Wen.

Ms. Wen signaled for three, and Zhuo Qianqian directly scooped three spoonfuls into the bowl, which finally satisfied Ms. Wen.

Just in time for Wang Fan’s hot oil drizzle on this bowl, unlike the previous ones, this one had a noticeably stimulating chili aroma during the burst of flavor, unlike pure Er Jingtiao, which is aromatic yet not aggressive.

Ms. Wen was very pleased with this taste and was eager to savor this dish of boiled beef, perfectly fitting her aesthetic requirements in appearance, aroma, and taste.

Speaking of Guangxi cuisine, it’s amazingly diverse. Although not part of the Eight Major Cuisines, it’s a system of its own. Moreover, Guangxi and Guangdong share a close culinary relationship, so Guangxi has most of what Guangdong does, and she has relished quite a few delicacies.

But she’s never seen a dish so tempting!

If you could rate the allure of food, the most appetizing she’d ever seen might score around 80 to 90; the highest might reach 95. But this ultimate wilderness cuisine boss’s creation in front of her could only feel worthy of a perfect score of 100.

Other dishes score 95 because that’s all they can get. This one scores 100 because that’s the highest possible!

The rich aroma of chili intertwined with the hearty meat fragrance, coupled with the fresh scent from the veggie combination, could definitely trigger a rebellion from anyone’s cravings.

Thankfully, it’s ready to eat now!

Wang Fan went to clean the pan, while Zhuo Qianqian began busying herself, distributing the freshly cooked boiled beef to the little tangerines. She took down the small dining table, which could seat six little tangerines, and three little tables were just right.

The well-mannered little tangerines sitting at the table could no longer maintain their composure as the boiled beef was placed before them; they squirmed as if infested with fleas, their eyes glued to the meat, unwilling to look away even for a moment.

Ms. Wen clapped her hands and said, "Everyone put on your meal bibs, then you can eat. Be careful while eating and try not to get oil stains on your clothes. Those who’ve put on their bibs can start eating."

"Whoosh..."

As soon as Ms. Wen finished talking, the little tangerines promptly sprang into action. Those who had already put on their bibs were proudly picking up their utensils, ready to feast.

Most children love meat; humans naturally find it hard to resist the temptation of meat unless they’re feeling unwell, especially when it’s so attractively prepared.

Ms. Wen, of course, didn’t need a bib, so she started eating right away.

Using bamboo chopsticks, she picked up a slice of beef. The brown-red beef slice was dotted with chili fragments, and several chili seeds adorned the meat like white sesame, making it look even more enticing.

"Hiss... Hot hot hot hot..."

In her mind, it was as if a printer was repeatedly printing "hot," forcing Ms. Wen to look up and breathe heavily, causing the little tangerines to burst into giggles.

"Teacher, you have to blow on it before eating, like I do."

A chubby little girl puffed up her cheeks, blew several times on the meat on her chopsticks, and then, after verifying it wasn’t too hot by licking the beef with her tongue, finally put it in her mouth, causing her eyes to squint happily into slits.

"Eating like this won’t be so hot, and the beef is really delicious."

Ms. Wen blushed a bit, cleared her throat, and said, "Mm-hmm, Qiqi is doing it right, I was just doing a teacher’s default demonstration of what not to do."

Oh, how embarrassing!

Ms. Wen was annoyed internally. How did she lose control over something tasty like that? She’s even worse than a child.

But... is she really to blame? With meat smelling this enticing, who could resist?

Thinking about the tantalizing beef flavor she just tasted, Ms. Wen couldn’t help but lick her lips.

Hot indeed, but equally aromatic!

Perhaps it’s the heat making it aroma extra fragrant?

Freshness, aroma, numbing, spicy, hot—the beef’s surface had a thin coating that was barely detectable unless you savored it. This coating sealed in the five essential elements of Sichuan Cuisine, making the beef full of flavor.

Thick gravy enveloped the beef, and when you picked it up and put it in your mouth, the smooth and tender texture was mesmerizing.

The most wonderful is the layer of what seems oily but tastes anything but oily grease.
