After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 140 Strong Taste

"No way, you dragged me running like crazy just for this stinky tofu?"

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that Qian Musheng, who looked so refined on the outside, would be so enthusiastic about eating stinky tofu. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have reached a very fanatical level.

"Yes, I don't come across this old man's stinky tofu very often. If I do come across it, I always buy some."

Upon seeing that it was Qian Musheng, the old man immediately said to him, "Young Master Qian, I saved you a few pieces of stinky tofu. You're quite lucky today."

Previously, even when Qian Musheng managed to catch the old man, it was always just as he was about to close up shop, and all his stinky tofu had already been sold out.

Qian Musheng had no choice but to return empty-handed, feeling very regretful that he could never get any food.

This time, Qian Musheng definitely wouldn't miss it. The last serving of stinky tofu was the one that the owner, who was very kind, had saved for Qian Musheng.

He thanked the shop owner with great satisfaction, paid the money, and walked contentedly with the stinky tofu to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Why don't you try it?"

Although Qian Musheng was being accommodating to Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao could tell that he didn't seem to want to give her any food at all, and besides, Su Xiaoxiao really didn't like stinky tofu.

"No, I'd rather not eat it."

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the stinky tofu fried by the owner was indeed amazing. The smell was so strong that it hit her nose. But how did the owner manage to do that? She saw that Qian Musheng had already bitten half a piece of stinky tofu in his mouth and was eating it with great relish. He probably didn't want to give it to her, but he had to be modest for the sake of face.

At that time, Su Xiaoxiao thought that Qian Musheng stuffed a piece of stinky tofu into her mouth.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. What was going on? Even though Su Xiaoxiao was against stinky tofu, she was still completely shocked by the sweet taste of that piece of stinky tofu from the "Stinky But Delicious" brand. It was a kind of taste that smelled bad but tasted delicious, and she couldn't stop eating it.

No wonder Qian Musheng is addicted to this stuff, it's really delicious.

Su Xiaoxiao stared greedily at the bag in Qian Musheng's hand; there was only one piece left inside.

Actually, the boss only had three pieces of stinky tofu left. Qian Musheng was holding the last piece of stinky tofu and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw Su Xiaoxiao staring at the stinky tofu in his hand after she finished eating it.

His gaze was so focused. Qian Musheng was truly reluctant, but seeing Su Xiaoxiao's eager eyes, he had no choice but to ask her with a heavy heart.

"Would you like another one?"

When Su Xiaoxiao looked at it, she realized that what she was really thinking was, "I want to eat, I want to eat another piece of stinky tofu."

But she also saw how much Qian Musheng loved this dish, and she realized that she couldn't take away what others loved, and that it wasn't easy for Qian Musheng to get this stinky tofu.

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say, "I'm alright, this stinky tofu is just so-so, why don't you eat it all?"

Upon hearing Su Xiaoxiao's words, Qian Musheng swallowed the stinky tofu in one gulp without saying a word.

I bet they didn't even have the heart to chew it. Luckily, I didn't take that stinky tofu, otherwise Qian Musheng would have been in so much pain.

Seeing that Qian Musheng still looked like she hadn't had enough, smacking her lips, she said, "It's so delicious, but I don't know when we'll meet again."

Qian Musheng smacked his lips and said with a hint of regret.

"Why? Is it so hard for him to see me every day?"

"Well, this old man sets up his stall depending on his mood. The same goes for his stinky tofu; he only sells a fixed number of pieces each day, and whether you can buy any depends on luck."

"Oh, this old man really lives a carefree life."

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "People like this live such carefree lives. They don't waste time and energy on money. Instead, they go with the flow, doing as much as they want without forcing themselves at all."

After the two finished eating the stinky tofu, Qian Musheng still felt unsatisfied.

Although they had eaten dinner, they had just visited Jiu'er's brothel and were now quite exhausted. A stall ahead caught Qian Musheng's eye, but Su Xiaoxiao hadn't yet seen what it was selling.

Qian Musheng had already walked up to the owner and said, "Give me one."

On the stall were a pile of bottles of seasonings, such as salt, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili sauce, sugar, etc. Then, in the basin in front of the owner were a pair of white things that looked a bit like rice mice.

"okay."

The shopkeeper packed a portion for Qian Musheng, wrapped it in oilcloth paper, and handed it to him. Qian Musheng took out his money and gave it to the shopkeeper. There were two bamboo skewers stuck in the paper.

It looked just like a rice mouse. Su Xiaoxiao was about to reach out and take it, then stick it on a bamboo skewer and eat it when someone said, "Don't move."

Qian Musheng stopped her.

"This isn't how you eat it."

"Then how do we eat it?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback and asked.

"This stuff is actually called mixed sauce."

"What, mixed sauce?"

At first glance, Su Xiaoxiao thought it was an insult, something like "bastard".

"Mixed sauce is a mixture of sauces, which means that it tastes good if you put a lot of sauce in it."

As Qian Musheng explained to Su Xiaoxiao, he demonstrated.

He started adding various seasonings to the rice dish, such as soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and various chili sauces. It was a wonderful collection of seasonings.

The air was filled with a wonderfully sweet aroma, a world enveloped in spices.

Qian Musheng's eyes gradually became excited. After he mixed the sauce thoroughly, he used a bamboo skewer to pick up a piece and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao's mouth.

After taking the bamboo skewer and eating a bite, Su Xiaoxiao felt as if all her taste buds had experienced an unprecedented explosion. Why was it so delicious?

It's sweet and sour, and with the texture of sesame seeds, it's like your mouth is melting from the aroma.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious!"

"My goodness, how did you find all these snacks?"

Su Xiaoxiao admired Qian Musheng very much. To be honest, even in Su Xiaoxiao's town, she couldn't find such delicious snacks.

This time, she felt full even though she hadn't eaten enough at the restaurant.

This person seems to use one stomach for eating and another for snacking.

The two of them used bamboo skewers, taking turns eating, and finished the mixed sauce in no time.

Su Xiaoxiao felt quite regretful; why didn't she buy one more?

But she was already full; any more food and she would feel like throwing up. So she decided to be more reserved. Sure enough, there were vendors selling wonton noodles and mung bean sesame cakes up ahead.

I tried a bite of everything, and in the end I was so full I could barely walk.
