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

Chapter 271 - Sensible flesh only grows where it should grow
Eight Treasures Tofu is available in almost every restaurant in Tianjin.

But the magic of this thing is that there is no unified recipe.

Ten restaurants will produce ten different flavors, and it is even normal for ten of them to use different side dishes.

Zhu Yuxiao’s favorite is the Tianjin cuisine at Jin Ge on Binjiang Avenue. The portions are large and the flavors are rich. One plate can make three bowls of rice and you can even take it away.

It’s just that he’s been busy reviewing for the final exams recently, and he hasn’t been there to eat for a month.

The presentation of the dish in front of him and the aroma he smelled were of a level not found in any other restaurant he had eaten at.

If you only let people look at your favorite thing but not eat it, isn't that asking for your life?

Wang Fan said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to cook for you, it's just that I'm already very busy making pot stickers and pan-fried buns. It's already the most I can do to find time to cook for my girlfriend. Please give me a break."

Zhu Yuxiao slammed the table and said, "Come on! I'll be your girlfriend, and you'll cook for me. Isn't that enough?"

Shen Cong and Wang Fan looked at him in shock. How can you say such shameless words?
Zhu Yuxiao thought something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "It's okay for me to be your boyfriend!"

Wang Fan had a new understanding of Zhu Yuxiao's mouth, it was really sharp!
"Wait for a chance later."

Zhuo Qianqian and the others' classrooms today were close to each other. The four of them exercised regularly, so their speed was naturally not slow. They just happened to run up to the second floor at this time.

Shen Cong couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw it. How great is it to have a boyfriend who can cook delicious food? He even cooks for her every day!

You are out of touch with the masses. I despise you!
Zhuo Qianqian and the other three greeted Wang Fan, then went to the private room with their trays in hand, looking expectant.

On the tray was a plate of eight-treasure tofu and a large bowl of rice. This was the limited portion that Zhuo Qianqian strongly requested. She felt that if they continued to eat like they did at noon, the weight of her roommates would probably skyrocket.

As soon as Jiang Chenchen entered the private room, he laughed like a fox that had stolen a chicken. "Those two classmates looked at me with such disgust just now, hahahaha, it was almost written on their faces that they wished they could take their place."

Li Jing sniffed the delicious aroma in the dish intoxicatedly: "Don't laugh at others. If someone walked past me with a dish like this, I would be envious and jealous too. This dish smells so good!"

Zhang Ya had already picked up a large shrimp and asked, "I just want to know if you can eat so much seafood with 15 yuan for food?"

Zhuo Qianqian affirmed, "It's not so bad. Didn't we only eat out for 38 yuan a plate before? The selling price must be at least double the cost of the raw materials, otherwise how will the restaurant make any money?"

Zhang Ya thought this was true, so she stopped paying attention to the problem and stuffed the shrimp into her mouth.

“Fresh and fragrant!”

The moment Zhang Ya put the shrimp into her mouth, a big exclamation mark and the words "fresh and fragrant" appeared in her mind.

The dish "Eight Treasures Tofu" focuses on meaning rather than form. The goal is to bring out the freshness of the seafood. Tianjin has a relatively large population, so this dish is thickened with starch. All the broth and seasonings are sprinkled on the ingredients before it is considered complete.

Wang Fan is good at bringing out the flavor of ingredients. After that, he adds all the essence of the soup to the ingredients. You can imagine how delicious the finished dish is.

Zhuo Qianqian is smarter. Eight Treasures Tofu, Eight Treasures Tofu, the focus is definitely tofu, so her first target is tofu.

Pick up a piece of tofu covered with thick sauce and fried until golden brown. Before it even enters your mouth, you can smell the unique delicious taste of seafood and the bean fragrance that cannot be covered up even with this.

The smell of it makes my appetite grow and my saliva starts to flow.

Put the tofu in your mouth and take a light bite. With a crisp "crack" sound, the crispy shell breaks, and then there is the incredibly soft and tender tofu, which is absolutely melt-in-your-mouth.

The tofu, which originally did not like to absorb flavor, no longer matters whether it absorbs flavor or not after being added with the thick sauce. As long as you start chewing, the thick sauce will make the tofu absorb flavor perfectly.

The crispy shell, the rich seafood aroma, and the tender tofu inside—the combination of these three buffs made Zhuo Qianqian squint her eyes in happiness. No one in the small private room was talking at the moment, everyone was savoring this local Tianjin delicacy with full appetite.

At the end of the meal, Zhuo Qianqian poured the rice in the bowl into the plate, spread the rice evenly, let all the soup be absorbed by the rice, and then scooped a spoonful into her mouth. The refreshing feeling was so satisfying that it made people love it madly.

"Ah."

Zhang Ya burped and sighed, "If I keep eating this much, I think I'll be as fat as a ball in a month."

Li Jing held a toothpick in her mouth and said, "If you don't want to gain weight, then exercise more. If you don't want to exercise, then just keep gaining weight. Just be comfortable with yourself. Why worry about what others think?"

Jiang Chenchen shrugged: "Anyway, we three are single, so no one will say anything if we get a little fat. My parents will just be happy and say that my Ni'er has finally gained some weight."

Zhang Ya sighed, "Comparisons are a recipe for disaster. Look at this little foodie! He eats more than anyone else, yet he's still slim."

Jiang Chenchen glanced at Zhuo Qianqian and sighed enviously, "Isn't she fat? She's chubby and sensible. The flesh is all grown where it should be, unlike the ignorant things on us."

After saying that, the three of them glanced at Zhuo Qianqian again and sighed with envy at the same time.

Zhuo Qianqian looked at herself in confusion. Did the soup splash on her clothes?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Jing said unhappily, "Eat your food, it's none of your business."

Zhuo Qianqian wrinkled her nose at Li Jing and continued to eat her seafood soup with rice. She ate it without making a sound.

"Come on, let's go take a break and do some exercise. Stop being a third wheel here. Thank the boss for our hospitality later."

……

"They left?"

After finishing his work, Wang Fan brought his meal into the private room and saw Zhuo Qianqian reading a book alone.

Zhuo Qianqian put down the book and nodded: "Since you are too busy, they asked me to thank you for your hospitality on their behalf."

Wang Fan put down his plate and smiled. "What are you looking at? I remember you said you had already finished your freshman courses."

Zhuo Qianqian nodded: "Yes, this is for sophomores. I asked the teacher for it yesterday."

Wang Fan looked at Zhuo Qianqian speechlessly and enviously: "Besides studying, don't you have any other special talents?"

As the saying goes, when God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you. It seems that I am average in everything except cooking. Zhuo Qianqian, a little foodie, eating a lot can't be considered a specialty, right?
Zhuo Qianqian raised her eyebrows and said, "I have long legs!"

As he spoke, he stretched his legs to the side, and Wang Fan's gaze inevitably moved over.

Zhuo Qianqian's legs are different from the current popular slender and straight legs. They are not overly thin, nor are they the so-called chopstick legs.

Some muscle lines can even be seen on her fair and slender calves, which makes her legs look more natural and healthy, exuding a sense of health and strength.

Wang Fan felt that the pair of legs in front of him were much more beautiful than those so-called comic legs of celebrities, and this was definitely not a girlfriend filter.

After all, humans are also animals, and a healthy body is the most beautiful.
