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

Chapter 545 - Shocked Brother Jie

"I'm leaving, uncle. Tell me next time you want to eat."

Brother Jie waved to an old man, rode his electric scooter and walked towards his shop.

He had no worries at all about Shen Teng and Wang Fan helping him look after the store. The friendship they had built over the years could not be measured by the tens of thousands of dollars in the store.

He didn't expect that as soon as he got to the door, he heard Shen Teng say to him mysteriously: "Brother Jie, try this we just made."

"So fast?"

Brother Jie was a little surprised at the speed of the two people, but then he thought that they might have just used the things they had on hand and just added a little more salt.

"Let me try it and see if it's any different from what I made."

Although he said this, he felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

If adding a little bit of salt can greatly enhance the taste of a snack, wouldn’t everyone be a food god?

"Click..."

The crispy texture of the fried five-spice skin is absolutely perfect. Speaking objectively, Wang Fan's frying skills are probably not inferior to mine.

"Ok?"

When his teeth broke through the crispy skin and ate the meat filling inside, Brother Jie's eyes suddenly widened.

What's that in your mouth?
A stream of hot juice suddenly rushed into the mouth when the teeth pierced the crispy skin.

"Huh...huh..."

He opened his mouth and exhaled a few breaths of hot air, then took two deep breaths of cool air before the temperature in his mouth dropped a little. But because of this, his taste buds, which had just felt hot, finally tasted the deliciousness of the juice.

The unique mellow aroma of pork combined with the unique sweetness of water chestnuts and a hint of saltiness completely combine these two flavors.

The unique sweet taste is different from the sweetness of sugar you add yourself. It has an indescribable natural freshness.

His teeth finally came together, and at that moment, he felt as if several chewy and tender things had exploded between his teeth. The taste of those things was very unique. Although they were all small particles, the taste and texture of the exploded things were completely different.

What's the situation?
Brother Jie was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is this delicious, rich juice that flows into your mouth? I've never heard of anyone's fried five-spice being so juicy.

And how come I can feel so many different textures between my teeth after just one bite?

It was as if different ingredients exploded at the same time, and the rich taste made his scalp tingle.

As soon as Shen Teng saw Brother Jie's expression, he knew that this old man had also been impressed by his brother Wang's cooking skills.

He was not surprised at all at this. His master was such an awesome man, but he still missed the lunch he had yesterday.

I watched Brother Wang make this improved fried five-spice dish with my own eyes. The two most important ingredients were bought by myself. I couldn’t believe how I would feel when I ate the new fried five-spice dish, let alone Brother Jie?

"How is it, Jiege? Is it delicious?"

Brother Jie's lips trembled a little, but he opened his mouth for a long time and didn't know what to say.

This is too much!

I just went out for about twenty minutes, and you made me such an amazing fried five-spice dish?
"How is that possible? This is still fried five-spice? How can this taste like fried five-spice? This doesn't make sense!"

Brother Jie muttered to himself in shock, racking his brains to figure out how Wang Fan had done it. His taste buds still tasted the same fried five-spice flavor, but the distinct saltiness was noticeable.

I'm used to eating bland food, so I should instinctively resist something so salty, but that hint of saltiness was the final straw that broke the camel's back. I wanted to keep stuffing these fried five-spice dumplings into my mouth.

And...and...

Brother Jie just felt that he wanted to know too much, which made his brain go into a state of shutdown.

“It’s onions. I added onions.”

Wang Fan felt a little sorry for Brother Jie looking at his expression. If he continued to think about it, his CPU would burn out. He quickly explained, "I replaced the sugar in the meat filling with onions. I cut the purple onions into dices, stir-fried them, and then put them into the meat filling. This will give it a unique sweetness.

Then I reduced the amount of pork tenderloin in the meat filling and added some shredded lard, so that the fried five-spice powder would have more juice.

Oh, and I also diced the water chestnuts and stir-fried them, so that the excess moisture can be squeezed out and the flavor will be more authentic."

Brother Jie was dumbfounded.

Why does it feel like it’s better not to listen to this?

Add onions? Do you think I haven't seen Stephen Chow's movies?

But those small particles just now seemed to taste a bit like onions?

The other two textures should be lard and stir-fried water chestnuts?
Shen Teng laughed out loud: "How's it going, brother Jie? Are you dumbfounded? I just told you that you must ask, but you couldn't bring yourself to do it. Luckily, you have a big face, hahaha."

Brother Jie finally came to his senses at this time, and quickly put the other half of the fried five-spice into his mouth. The fresh and fragrant taste did not diminish at all.

When he looked at Wang Fan again, his eyes changed, as if he saw the God of Cookery himself.

Besides the God of Cookery, who else could have this kind of skill?!

"Brother, were you sent by Mazu to save me?"

When Brother Jie looked at Wang Fan at this moment, he felt that this man was surrounded by a halo.

This must be the goddess Mazu who saw that I was working diligently and not being lazy, so she sent me here to save me!
Wang Fan shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I usually like to study all kinds of food. I have made similar things before, so I thought I would give it a try. I didn't expect the taste to change so much."

He heard that people in Fujian have great respect for traditional culture, especially the Goddess Mazu. You can lie to heaven, earth, your parents, but you cannot lie to Mazu.

It is said that there is even a statue of Mazu in Uncle Hat's interrogation room. Those prisoners who refuse to obey are asked to swear to Mazu, and few can resist.

I just came here to help and travel at the same time, but I don't dare to agree to this.

Next, we naturally entered the teaching time.

Regardless of whether Wang Fan denied it or not, Brother Jie had already regarded him as a special messenger of Mazu, so he was extremely serious in his studies, comparable to a first-grade student listening to lectures in class.

He was already very familiar with this thing, and Wang Fan's improvements were also very simple, so he was able to make it quickly.

After tasting what I made, I found that there was still a slight difference between what I made and what Wang Fan made, but it was still much more delicious than what I made before.

Excited Brother Jie walked out with his freshly made fried five-spice noodles without even leaving any instructions for Wang Fan and the others.

He planned to take the freshly fried five-spice dumplings to his old customers nearby and let them taste it. If they thought it was okay, he would make them all like this tomorrow.
