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

Chapter 565-I am endorsing the air-raid shelter vegetable market?

"Grandpa and Auntie, dinner is ready."

Older women in the foggy city prefer to be called "Auntie" as it makes them seem friendly and warm. After Wang Fan got used to it, she changed her address to follow the local customs.

The spicy chicken that Wang Fan had just cooked, which had spread all over the world, had already made the old people's mouths water. As people's sense of taste deteriorates with age, they like to eat this kind of spicy and numbing food to stimulate their taste buds.

Just as the elderly began to line up, Wang Fan established a rule: "Grandpa and Auntie, let's make it clear. You can only have one spoonful of spicy chicken. It's not that I'm afraid you won't eat it, but this dish is too spicy. Eating too much will put too much pressure on your stomach. The other dishes are also delicious. Eat more spare ribs."

Although the grandpa and aunts were somewhat reluctant, they decisively accepted Wang Fan's rules after taking a reluctant look at the spicy chicken.

No one doubted what Wang Fan said. They all went to the vegetable market all day long, and this kind of chicken was definitely not as expensive as pork ribs. If they really wanted to save costs, they would definitely limit the amount of pork ribs.

This is purely out of the kindness of the youngest child, but you can't be that unreasonable old man and make the good child feel disappointed.

The old people lined up in an orderly manner, and curious aunties also began to line up behind them. If they were wondering why their children insisted on eating the food made by this young man, all their doubts were finally answered when the aroma of the spicy chicken came out.

Grandpa Jiang was very excited to be holding his thermos. Although it was just an ordinary thermos, he really liked it. He planned to use it to eat at noon today.

Wang Fan put the other dishes into a thermos bucket for him, but placed the spicy chicken separately in a disposable lunch box. This dish cannot be mixed with soups or it will greatly affect the taste.

Wang Fan personally serves the meals to grandpa and aunt. If these old people serve themselves, they always pick out the leftovers and the portions they serve are not big.

"I can't eat it all, I can't eat that much. You little kid, you really want to lose all your pants by giving me so much!"

Wang Fan laughed and said, "You're still losing money? I made a fortune yesterday. Just eat as much as you can. Don't think I don't know how much dry food you brought with you. This is only a little more than what you brought before."

Uncle Jiang pointed at Wang Fan speechlessly, his lips trembling and unable to speak, mainly because he didn't know what else to say.

Wang Fan saw his mood and said seriously, "Just eat your food peacefully. As I said before, without your generation's selfless sacrifices, how could we have the peaceful and prosperous world we have today? I'm just offering you some food as a token of my appreciation."

Uncle Jiang's eyes narrowed into slits with joy. He held up his thermos bucket in a show-off manner and turned around to find a place to sit.

The others also laughed and joked with him, feeling that they had never been so relaxed.

The old people gathered together and began to enjoy their lunch. The rich and fragrant taste made them almost forget the fatigue of getting up at two o'clock in the morning. By the way, yesterday should have been the earliest day they went to bed in these years, right?

As he was thinking, he took out a golden chicken nugget from the pile of chili peppers and peppercorns and quickly put it into his mouth.

smell good!
When you take a bite of the small diced chicken, your mouth will be filled with the rich aroma of chili and Sichuan peppercorns, as well as a unique umami flavor.

Immediately afterwards, a numbing and spicy taste began to hit the taste buds.

It is really spicy, but not dry. It is really numb, but not bitter. When you chew it with the few remaining teeth, you will find that the meat under the tight skin is still very soft and tender. The meaning of "tight but not dry" is fully demonstrated.

After eating a mouthful of diced chicken, Grandpa Jiang couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a breath.

“Hiss… awesome!”

The tongue felt a little hot and there was a numbing taste like an electric shock. Coupled with the ultimate meat aroma and the fresh aroma of soy sauce and MSG, Grandpa Jiang felt that he had no extra requirements for this dish.

Looking down at the lunch box, the greasy peppers were bright red, not a single one was black, which he had never encountered in any of the banquets he had attended before.

I couldn't help but pick up a pepper and put it in my mouth.

"Kazi..."

The fried peppers become very crispy and can be crushed in one bite. The rich aroma of peppers accompanied by the spicy taste makes all taste buds succumb to this ultimate fire control technology.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I know the chili in spicy chicken can be so delicious."

"Uncle Jiang, are you eating too? I just took a bite too. Wow, it's so crispy and fragrant, even better than diced chicken."

"Yes, the chili peppers have the aroma of chicken fat, and there's some juice when you bite them. If we add two taels of wine, then life will be really comfortable."

"I don't know how this kid made it, but my two old teeth can actually chew this chicken. I've almost forgotten how long it's been since I've had such a good meal."

“This is what Jianghu cuisine should be like: simple, bold, and authentic.”

……

After grandpa and auntie finished lining up, it was the aunt's team's turn.

The aunts were shocked by Wang Fan's all-you-can-eat price of 15 yuan, but were deeply moved by the fact that seniors over 70 could eat for free.

This touched me and made me want to pay more.

But the cunning Wang Fan had already made the QR code and put it there, charging a fixed fee of 15 yuan, and no one could pay more.

But even the wisest man can make mistakes. Even though he had done this much, he still overlooked one thing in the end.

That is, when these aunties go out to buy groceries, they will carry cash with them!
Then Wang Fan helplessly discovered that after these aunts left, a pile of red and green RMB appeared on the stall.

Brother Gang, the sixth brother, also stabbed Wang Fan in the back. He left 1000 yuan on the table when he left after dinner. God knows who still carries so much cash on them now.

Just when Wang Fan was feeling helpless and moved, a person in front of the stall caught Wang Fan's attention.

It’s not that this man is handsome, nor that he is ugly, but because he is wearing an executive jacket.

This kind of slightly formal and serious clothing is rarely worn by people except for certain groups.

The man smiled at Wang Fan, handed him his business card, and introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Wang. I'm from the Fog City Market Planning Department. My name is Jing Chuan. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Wang. I hope this doesn't offend you."

Wang Fan nodded and took the business card. When he saw the position on it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This person must be from a big name!
"What do you want from me?"

They can't be here to investigate their illegal operations, right? The system has never failed on this. Jing Chuan smiled and said, "Actually, I have something to ask of you on behalf of Wudu, but you seem very busy right now. So, how about you get me a meal first? I'll wait on the side. When you're free, we can talk in detail. What do you think?"

Wang Fan glanced at him and didn't refuse: "Okay, but I guess I won't be free until around two o'clock. You can come back then."

This is not the first or second time that Wang Fan has dealt with relevant departments. To be honest, he has a pretty good impression of this group.

At least the people he met were all willing to work for the people, not those who just sat there doing nothing.

Jing Chuan also came a little later, carrying his lunch box to find Uncle Jiang and the others. Seeing how animatedly they were chatting, it was clear that they were all old acquaintances.

Wang Fan didn't think about this person's intention. He just focused on doing the task at hand first, and he would know the rest of the things later.

Grandpa Jiang was surprised to see Jing Chuan. He quickly stood up and said, "Leader Jing, why are you here?"

Seeing that he had just had a conversation with Wang Fan, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Are they here to cause trouble for that young man?
This big leader is in charge of this.

"Leader Jing, are you here to look for that young man? Did he do something wrong? He's a good kid, you can't..."

Jing Chuan waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He quickly interrupted the anxious Grandpa Jiang and said, "Uncle Jiang, how many times have I told you not to be so polite? He's your youngest child, so why shouldn't I be? Besides, I'm not here to cause him any trouble. I just want to ask for his help with something."

Grandpa Jiang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "This is a rare good kid. If you bully him, we old bones will fight you to the death."

Jing Chuan shook his head repeatedly: "How is that possible? He's a great god, he's not even easy to invite. Who dares to bully him?"

Grandpa Jiang was a little surprised and asked, "Really? I think he's quite kind and filial."

Jing Chuan gestured for Grandpa Jiang to sit down, and he sat down himself, just like the villagers chatting over food. "It's normal that you don't know him because you don't go online. Mr. Wang is a big internet celebrity. Wherever he goes, he can directly boost the development of local tourism. The main reason I'm looking for him this time is because of the matter of our air-raid shelter vegetable market."

Grandpa Jiang first looked at Wang Fan in surprise. He didn't expect that this amiable young man had so much power.

Then, when I heard about the air-raid shelter vegetable market, I was even more moved: "Let us use this vegetable market and only pay a sanitation management fee. We are already very satisfied. How can you bother us, old bones..."

Jing Chuan said seriously, "Without you old bones who endured those darkest years, how could we have the peaceful and peaceful time we have now? This is what we should do."

The Fog City Municipal Government is really very preferential to these rural elderly people.

Not only was a market planned to facilitate the elderly selling vegetables, but a special line for carrying baskets was also opened. In order to further enable the elderly to earn more, an air-raid shelter vegetable market was also specially planned.

This place is jointly managed by the government and local charitable enterprises. Even the sanitation management fee has been waived, so the elderly come here to sell vegetables without paying anything. Furthermore, the air-raid shelter is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it far more suitable for these elderly people than this kind of market.

But the only problem was that the air-raid shelter was a bit far away and was not in a commercial area, so there was no stable purchasing population nearby.

If they move there rashly, they are afraid that no one will buy the vegetables of these elderly people, which would go against the original intention. How to increase the popularity of this air-raid shelter vegetable market has become a concern for their market planning department.

Originally they were thinking of trying it out for one day a week, and then gradually increasing it to three or five days once it gained popularity, but Wang Fan's appearance disrupted this plan.

When Jing Chuan heard that Wang Fan was coming, he felt like he had drunk a bottle of ice-cold beer in the middle of summer.

It's like someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy.

However, he did not contact Wang Fan immediately. After all, the news on the Internet was true and false. He needed to observe for a few days to determine whether Wang Fan was really suitable for this city.

Although letting Wang Fan participate in this matter is to take advantage of Wang Fan's fame, once this matter is accomplished, it will be equivalent to Wang Fan having the official endorsement of the Fog City, and the improvement of his personal value will be immeasurable, so he must determine Wang Fan's true character and whether he is suitable for cooperation.

It can be said that since Wang Fan entered the Fog City, everything he did was under Jing Chuan's nose.

He also believed that he had sufficient understanding of Wang Fan. Although this was the first time they met, the first impression of a person is often the most important. He believed that Wang Fan was the person suitable for cooperation.

He is an honest and kind person with a sunny and handsome image. His online image is also very decent. He is endorsed by major official media and has a huge fan base. If he is invited to endorse the air-raid shelter vegetable market, it is very likely that this vegetable market can be put into use by itself.

The question now is whether this young man is willing to cooperate.

but……

After tasting the food in his mouth, Jing Chuan couldn't help but sigh that sometimes the news on the Internet cannot be fully trusted.

This is not just delicious, it’s so delicious!

You are all speaking online, so can't you speak in a more generous way?
After reading your comments, I thought the food he cooked could get a score of 10, but when I actually ate it, I found that it could definitely get a score of 100. I'm not afraid of him being proud at all.

It's at the level of a five-star hotel. If the food in a five-star hotel was of this level, it would have become a local landmark long ago. The food in government cafeterias and guesthouses cannot be compared!
……

No one disturbed Wang Ruohan while she was eating and watching videos today.

Everyone buys the same thing, so just sit quietly at your workstation and enjoy it.

The whole office is now filled with the overbearing spicy aroma of spicy chicken, which makes the aroma of pork ribs and beans stewed pale in comparison.

In the past, what she looked forward to most was definitely one of the representative dishes of the Fog City Jianghu cuisine, but today she has a special liking for the pork ribs stewed with beans.

It’s simple, her favorite variety show also features stewed pork ribs and beans!
Just tell me if this is a coincidence or not?
Seeing Teacher Huang putting raw beans into the pot of stewed pork ribs, she ate a bite of the beans in her lunch box with relish.

The skin of the stir-fried green beans is somewhat tough, and even after being stewed, it still retains a certain taste.

When you bite through the thin outer layer, you can taste the aroma of pork ribs and the sweetness of the beans, which makes you want to moan.

The beans have been stewed until they are extremely soft. The beans with gravy are placed on the rice. The beans, gravy and white rice grains are all shoveled into the mouth. No wonder Teacher He can eat it so happily. It is so delicious!

Take another bite of the tender, tasty and fragrant spareribs. Wow, it feels like my life has reached its peak.

Huh?
Wang Ruohan felt that the food didn’t taste right while she was eating. How come she looked like she had food poisoning in the video?
