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

Chapter 459 - Candied Haws and Homemade Spicy Noodles

8 o'clock in the morning.

"yawn……"

Wang Fan feels a little listless today.

Even young people would become listless after a night of refining and preparing dishes.

Some people can just lie in bed all day at this time, while others need to drag their tired bodies to continue working like slaves to earn a few dollars.

Wang Fan doesn't need to earn that little bit of money now, but he is greedy for the skills given by the system, so even though he is very sleepy, he has to set up this stall.

Just as he finished washing up, his cell phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was the foreign student translator Gu Zhengchao from yesterday.

"Hello."

"Brother Wang, are you still going to set up the stall today?"

"Go ahead, I'll be packed and ready to go there in a minute."

Gu Zheng said happily, "By the way, Brother Wang, yesterday everyone in our international student community heard that you rocked the Louvre and were so excited. Some people might come today to help you out, so be prepared."

Wang Fan said cheerfully, "Okay, then I'll prepare some more ingredients and treat them to some of the flavors of home."

Gu Zhengchao suddenly said in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "Um...Brother Wang, can I ask you for a favor?"

"what's up?"

"Well, there are some people in our circle who don't have good family conditions and haven't been back home for several years. They can still make some of our hometown meals, but they can't make snacks that taste like ours. Many of them are almost going crazy for them. If you can cook, could you make some for them?"

Gu Zhengchao spoke in a low voice, mainly because he felt that his request was a bit unreasonable.

He is a chef, not a snack maker. Besides, he is already very busy, and you are just causing him more trouble.

But he had to say that because of his recent contact with those people, he felt that their condition was like a pressure cooker filled with air, and there was a risk of explosion at any time.

This group of international students is at high risk of depression. The loneliness caused by changes in living environment, the anxiety caused by social and cultural differences, and the confusion caused by the process of self-knowledge in a relatively pure and independent environment are constantly tormenting their fragile nerves.

According to a survey on depression conducted by Yale University, the proportion of Chinese international students who clearly stated that they had depressive tendencies was as high as 45%, and 29% of students reported symptoms of anxiety. In his opinion, those people were already somewhere in between the two.

"If it's too troublesome, forget it, we can find a solution ourselves..."

Wang Fan chuckled and said, "What do you want to eat? Let me see if I can make it here."

Anyway, he decides what to cook, and it is quite interesting to see the streets of Paris occupied by snacks from his hometown. Besides, if his family doesn't feel sorry for the flower buds from his own hometown, won't they be sold to foreign countries?

If you want people to have a sense of belonging, you have to let them know that they have this mother's home, right?
"You...you agreed?"

Gu Zhengchao couldn't believe his ears.

Just agreed so casually? Can Boss Wang be so willful?

You should know that the noodles were extremely popular yesterday. 200 servings of noodles were sold out in less than 3 hours, each serving costing 20 euros, which meant a total revenue of 4000 euros!

Even though the food here in Paris is more expensive, if you earn half of it, you will still earn 2000 euros!
When we left yesterday, many people hadn’t had the chance to eat it yet. If beef noodles were still being sold today, it would definitely be a big hit.

But snacks like these probably weren't something many foreigners would be willing to eat, except for students like them. Agreeing to him would basically be like saying no to money! "Well, I can make some for you. How many people?"

Gu Zhengchao quickly said, "Not many, not many, just a dozen or so! They'd rather eat candied haws and spicy strips or chips. Can you make them?"

Maybe some people didn’t have candied haws in their childhood, but few people didn’t have spicy strips in their childhood.

And with these two things combined, my task seems to be easily accomplished.

After all, can these foreigners refuse the greasy-looking spicy strips and the refreshing candied fruit wrapped in sugar skin?

"I can cook. I'll buy some ingredients and come over later."

"Oh, Brother Wang, we all paid for all of this. Just sell it to us for the same price as you sell it to others. It's already very troublesome for you. Please don't give us gifts or discounts. We'll feel embarrassed and we won't eat it if you do."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zheng was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

However, thinking of the poor condition of those people, he quickly picked up the phone and called.

"Qin Lu, call Zhang Peng and the others and go to the entrance of the Louvre this morning. There's a surprise waiting for you. Oh, stop talking nonsense. You won't die if you miss half a day of class, but if you keep going like this, you will definitely die soon. We agreed to see you then!"

……

Wang Fan naturally prepared to go shopping.

For ordinary people, spicy strips may be a little difficult to make, but for him, it is easy, carefree and enjoyable.

There are only three parts in total.

First, gluten made from flour or bean skin that is neither too soft nor too hard.

Second, the spice blend of dozens of spices creates an irresistible aroma.

Third, various food additives such as acesulfame potassium, saccharin, sucralose, monosodium glutamate, sorbic acid, sodium citrate, etc. give off a strong sense of cheapness.

Well, Wang Fan feels that the third point can be passed here. It’s not that these things cannot be replaced by equivalents, but simply because these technologies are very cheap and can effectively control costs, so they are all used.

It’s just that hawthorn is a little hard to buy. I went to four or five supermarkets before I could find it. I also bought some raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and cherry tomatoes. These are all ingredients used to make candied haws. The main feature is the multiple choices.

As for whether these can be used to make candied haws...

For Wang Fan, almost anything that can be eaten can be made into candied haws.

After all, he is a disciple of Northeast China. He knows instant noodles, pig's trotters, spicy strips, silkworm pupae, green onions, chicken feet, and anything else in the world, as long as it is not illegal, can be found in the candied haws!
What Wang Fan selected has already taken into account the senses of French friends and is very low-key.

When he arrived at the Louvre again, there were already many people waiting there. In addition to the international students, there were also many foreigners who were staying where he had set up his stall before.

When they saw him coming, the international students' eyes lit up and they quickly ran over to help him unload things and set up the stall.

When they gathered, Gu Zhengchao had already told them that Wang Fan was going to make the spicy strips and candied haws that they had been dreaming about. This made the international students very excited, and they moved very quickly, wanting to see these two delicacies being created in front of their own eyes.

These people were very grateful for Wang Fan's help and expressed their gratitude to him sincerely.

Wang Fan also responded to them one by one and said that he would definitely make sure they had enough to eat today.
