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

Chapter 463 - I can't resist spicy strips

Wang Fan took out a sieve with holes and fished out the spicy strips that were soaked in red chili sauce from the basin.

The red oil slid along the spicy strips and dripped back into the pot through the holes on the grate.

The oil on the spicy strips soon stopped dripping, and the shape now is exactly the same as the spicy strips I ate when I was a child.

Several international students who have been craving this taste for several years have their eyes fixed on the spicy strips. They are eager to let their taste buds experience the familiar yet unfamiliar taste.

Wang Fan picked up one with a pair of tongs and put it in his hand. Under the eager gaze of everyone, he slowly put it into his mouth.

The moment Wang Fan put the spicy strips in his mouth, he felt the rich aroma of the ingredients rushing to the top of his head, and then the burning sensation began to spread on the tip of his tongue.

The spicy taste is mixed with sweetness, saltiness and numbness, which makes the taste buds exhausted.

The gluten that has not been fried is softer, but because it is wrapped tightly, it still has a very good texture when you bite it.

The aroma of noodles mixed with the aroma of beans, plus the red oil that seeps out every time you chew, that rich aroma is absolutely unmatched by any additives.

When chewing, you will bite through the small sesame seeds one by one, which not only makes the taste more interesting, but also adds a new fragrance, making the whole spicy strip more refreshing.

While stuffing the remaining half into his mouth, he picked up a small stack with a clip and handed it to Gu Zhengchao beside him.

Gu Zhengchao took it in his hand, picked up another clip and handed it to Qin Lu.

"You don't have to pay for this. I can still afford a little flour."

"But we agreed in advance..."

Gu Zhengchao was interrupted by Wang Fan: "You've helped me so much, what's the harm in treating you to some spicy noodles? Besides, these are useless. The real money is made there."

After saying that, he pointed to another basin.

Gu Zhengchao and Qin Lu looked in the direction of his finger and saw that it was the basin of water he had just used to wash his face. They both scratched their heads in confusion, "What else can you do with this basin of water?"

Wang Fan smiled and handed the tongs to Qin Lu. "Please help divide these spicy strips. If these foreigners want to buy some, you can help me sell them. But I don't think they will be too interested in such greasy food."

After saying that, he really stopped caring about it and walked straight towards the basin of water.

Qin Lu and Gu Zhengchao looked at each other, not knowing whether they should listen to Wang Fan.

Finally, Gu Zhengchao shrugged helplessly: "Forget it, just listen to Brother Wang, because being pretentious over a few spicy strips is not embarrassing enough."

Qin Lu thought about it and said to her companions, "Come on, Brother Wang is treating everyone to spicy noodles."

"Huh? Inappropriate, right?"

The international students felt a little embarrassed when they heard this. They were used to the indifference of foreigners, so they were a little uncomfortable being suddenly treated to a meal.

Gu Zhengchao said, "Don't be polite to Brother Wang. We'll ask Brother Wang to come back when we return to China."

"Would you like to treat Brother Wang to spicy noodles?"

Gu Zhengchao rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to this idiot with zero emotional intelligence.

They were eating enthusiastically, but Edward was not happy: "Hey man, I've been waiting here for a long time, why don't you sell me this little stick?"

"Ah? Don't you guys dislike eating greasy food? This is really greasy, I'm telling you."

Edward shook his head. "It looks like a snack from the East. I'm very interested in trying it. Can you sell me some?"

Thinking of Wang Fan's words, Gu Zhengchao nodded: "It's not impossible, 1 euro per stick."

"hiss……"

Qin Lu and several international students nearby gasped when they heard Gu Zhengchao's offer.

You're really being ruthless, aren't you? Spicy strips for 1 euro each? That's almost 1 yuan!
Edward was very dissatisfied: "Dude, you're selling it too expensive, can't you make it a little cheaper?"

谷正超点点头：“当然可以，1欧1根，买5根的话4欧。买10根7欧。多了不卖。”

爱德华拿出手机算了算5根4欧和10跟7欧到底哪个便宜，究竟又便宜了多少，看着计算出来的结果他果断的说道：“我要10根。”

"Wise choice."

As Gu Zhengchao spoke, he picked up the oil paper to wrap one end of the spicy strips and took the 10 euros handed to him by Edward.

Edward took the spicy strips anxiously and put them directly under his nose to smell them.

The seasoning had a very strong aroma, but it wasn't pungent. It was just the strong chili aroma that made him a little scared, and he wasn't sure if his mouth could handle it.

Qin Lu looked at Edward with some curiosity. She really wanted to see how these foreigners would react when they ate Chinese snacks.

"My beautiful lady, although I am very handsome, you can't keep staring at me like this. I will be very shy."

"Cough cough..."

Qin Lu didn't expect that this foreigner could be so naughty. When she was teased by his words, she felt as if her throat was hit by the chili pepper. She quickly took a bite of the candied tomato to suppress the spicy feeling.

The spiciness was suppressed, but the feeling just now gave Qin Lu a bold idea.

These spicy strips and candied cherry tomatoes seem to go well together, don’t they?

As she was thinking, she bit off half of the spicy strip in one mouthful. As soon as the spicy feeling appeared, she took another bite of the cherry tomato and put it into her mouth.

As soon as the cool sugar coating entered her mouth, it neutralized the spiciness of the spicy strips. After another chew, the spicy, salty and numb taste of the spicy strips and the sour and sweet taste of the candied haws were a perfect fusion. The magical taste and texture made her close her eyes while eating, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

"Try eating spicy strips and candied haws together. I feel like I've discovered a new world, hahaha."

After hearing what Qin Lu said, Gu Zhengchao also took a bite of half a spicy strip and then ate a strawberry candied haws.

"Oh, huh? Don't tell me, don't tell me. It's like all five elements, sweet, sour, spicy, and salty, are all present at once. Only bitterness is missing to complete the five mysterious elements."

"No, it's not bitter at all. What could be bitterer than the bitterness that life brings? Think about the troubles you've had in the past few years before eating, and you'll have collected all the bitter, sour, sweet, spicy and salty flavors."

"But I really want to thank Brother Wang this time. I feel like I've been in a bad state recently, to the point where I can't adjust myself. After eating these spicy noodles and candied haws, I feel much better."

Edward was very quiet at this time and did not interrupt the conversation of these international students.

He was holding the spicy strips and putting them into his mouth carefully.

"Huh...hiss..."

As soon as the spicy strips entered his mouth, the spiciness made him gasp. This spiciness was a bit beyond his tolerance limit.

But the sweetness, saltiness and a hint of sourness that followed neutralized the spiciness a little, making it not too difficult for him to swallow.

He chewed hard, enduring the burning sensation.

He didn't notice the original greasy feeling, and the soft, glutinous yet very chewy texture made him exclaim in delight after eating it.

"Oh my god, I feel like I can feel the love of this mysterious oriental snack! Otherwise, why do my lips feel so numb and tingling like an electric shock? I don't feel this way when I kiss a girl!"

"Huh...hiss...refreshing! My mouth is filled with the fiery spiciness of the chili peppers, and eating another candied haws is like eating a firefighter. It instantly makes my mouth feel cool and refreshed. This feeling is so refreshing!"

Brother Edward was so excited that he started shouting incoherently in French.

It instantly aroused great interest among the onlookers.

What could be more electric than a kiss?
