Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 251-Juicy, come out, thumb-stir-fried buns!
Wang Fan is extremely fast, he has always been a fast guy. Don’t think too much about it, it’s just especially when it comes to cooking.

More than 200 buns were neatly arranged on the grate, and it only took Wang Fan seven or eight minutes.

He turned on the stove, and as soon as the oil in the large frying pan heated up a little, he picked up the grater and picked up the small buns one by one.

Because it was a low fire, the pot did not make the "sizzling" sound of frying, but a strange noodle aroma was quickly released.

While Wang Fan continued to make dumplings, he carefully smelled the changes in the smell in the frying pan. When a hint of burnt aroma was just released, he stood up, lifted the lid of the pot, poured water into it, and then closed the lid again.

As he continued wrapping, he smiled and said to Zhuo Qianqian, "Please write a sign for me. Authentic thumb-shaped pan-fried buns. One for 1 yuan, two for 4 yuan, three for 2 yuan, five for 6 yuan, and ten for 3 yuan."

"Hey?"

A huge question mark rose above Zhuo Qianqian's head. The boss was not ignorant of numbers, so why did he write it like that? Was he too busy?
“老板，1块钱一个，4块钱难道不该是4个吗？10块钱也该是10个才对。”

Wang Fan shook his head: "No, 4 yuan is 2, 10 yuan is 5, just write it like that."

Zhuo Qianqian scratched her head in confusion and didn't think about it anymore. She took the sign and wrote what Wang Fan said on it.

No one had ever seen or heard of Wang Fan's Shengjian restaurant before. College students have a strong desire to explore new things, not to mention that Zhuo Qianqian, a science student, is here, and she has already attracted their attention.

"Shengjianbao? I remember this place used to be a spicy hot pot place. It seems they were forced out due to cutting corners. Is this a new place?"

"I don't know, but the school doesn't seem to have sold shengjianbao before, so I think it's worth a try."

"This seems to be more common in Shanghai and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Hey, there's a sign hanging up, and it's written by our science school beauty. What's the merit of this boss?"

“擦，什么鬼，1块钱1个，4块钱2个？10块钱5个？我还是第一次听说买的越多卖的越贵的！“

"Does this boss want to stop doing business?"

While the students nearby were talking about it, Wang Fan had already put the freshly-fried shengjianbao on a large bamboo woven plate and handed it to Zhuo Qianqian who was waiting outside.

Zhuo Qianqian took the woven plate with a smile, and couldn't help swallowing when she saw the pan-fried buns inside.

When I smell the rich aroma of noodles and meat again, I feel full of energy.

It turns out that a new day starting with the boss’s delicious food is a good day!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the plate that Zhuo Qianqian was holding. There were about 30 buns on the plate, stacked up like a mountain of buns.

Each bun is small and exquisite, and is divided into two colors, the top is white and tender dough, some of which are topped with black sesame seeds, some with white sesame seeds and small green onion rings, and the bottom is fried in golden yellow, which looks very crispy and appetizing.

With the blessing of the hot steam just out of the pot, each one looks even more adorable.

Zhuo Qianqian put the plate on the table and said with a smile, "Come, try my boss's cooking. Don't eat your tongue. Oh, and by the way, the boss specifically instructed that you eat this like a soup dumpling. First, take a bite to dissipate the heat, then suck up the soup, and finally eat the dumpling. Don't skip any steps. Don't say I didn't warn you. The boss said that if you don't obey, you will bear the consequences."

Li Jing teased, "The boss says what the boss says. Everything is what the boss says. I think you've really been brainwashed by him."

Zhang Ya also said with a smile, "But let's be honest, although I only saw Qianqian's boss this morning, he's really quite handsome, even more handsome than Wu Feng." Wu Feng was the school hunk who had been pursuing Zhuo Qianqian for a month. Zhuo Qianqian spread her hands and said, "Handsomeness can't be eaten, and I don't think my boss is that handsome, he just cooks better. Hehehe, hey, stop talking so much, hurry up and eat, the boss said that the buns will be affected if they get cold."

It’s the boss who said it again!
Li Jing, Zhang Ya and the third roommate Jiang Chenchen all looked at Zhuo Qianqian speechlessly.

This idiot is completely hopeless!

Zhuo Qianqian had already picked up a steamed bun. The diameter of the bun was about the same as the thumb, and it looked cute no matter how you looked at it.

I put it to my mouth and gently bit a small hole in it. The upper half of the bun skin was still soft, but a little chewier than the steamed buns I made before.

There are two types of pan-fried buns: unfermented and semi-fermented. Some are even steamed first and then fried. Wang Fan chose the semi-fermented method of frying and steaming, which is also a common method in Cantonese cuisine.

After biting through the bun skin, Zhuo Qianqian smelled the rich aroma of fresh soup, and could even see the full gravy inside through the gap in the bun.

The large pieces of meat filling are wrapped in gravy and have an attractive sheen, which is simply tempting to the core.

Zhuo Qianqian flipped her wrist and the bun turned over as well. The gravy inside the bun slowly flowed through the gap into the plate below. By the time the gravy stopped flowing out, the small plate was already half full.

Li Jing was amazed. "Wow, such a small bun can actually hold so much soup?"

Zhang Ya was also surprised. "At first, I didn't smell much meat. I thought this bun was going to be so filling that I couldn't even smell anything until I opened it."

Jiang Chenchen picked up a bun with a curious look on his face and placed it in front of him: "I'm curious now, what will happen if I don't eat it directly as your boss said?"

Zhuo Qianqian was speechless and said, "I don't think you need to be so curious about everything."

Jiang Chenchen snorted, "Curiosity is the ladder of human progress. Answers gained without personal experience are ultimately castles in the air."

"Eat quickly, you can be curious later after you're done."

Zhuo Qianqian picked up the pan-fried bun again and blew on it gently. The hot air that was blowing vertically upwards on the bun was blown away from the bun. She slowly put the pan-fried bun into her mouth and bit off half of it in one bite.

In an instant, a rich and delicious smell spread in her mouth, which was a unique mixture of the aroma of meat, onion and dough.

The salty and fragrant meat filling has a subtle sweetness, and the unique taste and texture of the pork are infinitely amplified by the perfect seasoning. Even though the soup has been added once, the gravy is still deeply hidden in the meat filling.

The crispy bottom and soft top of the pan-fried buns form a perfect contrast with the tender filling inside, and every bite is the ultimate combination.

I couldn't help but close my eyes and feel the wonderful taste of the minced meat and gravy flowing in my mouth.

As expected of the boss, he has made great progress in such a short time!
Although the buns in the past were equally delicious, the proportion of seasonings was definitely not as good as it is now. If the seasonings in the past paid special attention to flavor, then the seasonings now perfectly highlight the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves.
