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

Chapter 580 - Yibin Yeerba

"Ding."

"Mission: Please set up a stall in SC Province and sell at least 10 servings of Sichuan cuisine within five consecutive days."

"Mission Reward: Sichuan Cuisine Recipe (already issued. If the mission fails, the recipe and memory will be reclaimed.)"

"Special Mission: Please set up a stall in SC Province and sell at least 100 servings of Sichuan cuisine within five consecutive days."

"Mission Reward: Mapo Tofu Recipe (Golden Legend) (Because the host has mastered the soul of Sichuan cuisine, the reward has been issued in advance and will not be recovered if the mission fails)."

Wang Fan got up and saw the latest task status and couldn't help but smile. It turned out that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. His summary practice in the past few days was not in vain. Now he has another golden legendary dish.

The two people's goal today is to reach the summit of Mount Emei.

Mount Emei covers an area of ​​154 square kilometers. Its main peak is Golden Summit and its highest peak is Wanfoding, which is 3099 meters above sea level.

The hiking route of Mount Emei is very long. According to official calculations, the entire journey is 60 kilometers. Even for those who often climb mountains for exercise, it will take more than 8 hours to reach the summit, and ordinary people may even need more than 10 hours.

The cultural heritage here is very deep, and various sects have taken root here, but Wang Fan feels that people of his age know about this place entirely because of monkeys.

Sichuan is famous for its two species of monkeys: the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey and the Emei Tibetan macaque. The monkey named Ruirui in Hongshan Forest Park is a Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey.

This kind of monkey not only has golden hair and a cute appearance, but also has a very good personality. It is absolutely loved by everyone. However, whenever a Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey is praised, an Emei Tibetan macaque will be scolded.

This kind of monkey has a bad temper and is not afraid of people. Because people have been feeding it for many years, it has formed the idea that humans should feed it. Later, it even did not wait for food to be fed, but directly rummaged through bags and robbed people. When it was at its most violent, it even pushed a female tourist off a cliff and killed her. Even after this, the monkeys still chased her down the cliff and continued to tear her apart. Finally, a sniper was called in to shoot the monkey king in the head.

Listening to Zhuo Qianqian's explanation, Wang Fan hesitated and said, "Then let's not go up Mount Emei, shall we? It seems quite dangerous now that you mentioned it."

Zhuo Qianqian said, "Because these monkeys are so aggressive, we've started to control them. The patrolling staff will use mud pellet slingshots to drive them away, preventing them from stealing tourists' belongings."

"Little Emei, take control."

"The highest mountain has its own path for travelers, and I can climb Mount Emei, a thousand feet high."

"Today, it's just a simple 8 hours to reach the summit. I'm afraid it will be too much of a blow to others if I climb too fast."

There are already many people warming up at the foot of Mount Emei. Their faces are filled with confident smiles, as if they can be invincible with just a little move.

Wang Fan had climbed Mount Tai and seen those people who were stubborn at the foot of Mount Tai, but he didn't know whether Mount Emei could cure this stubbornness.

Many people actually don’t like climbing mountains. If they want to see the scenery, they just take the cable car up, but there are always some people who can experience the fun of climbing mountains.

The mountain road is rugged and winding, and the dense forests and clear streams on both sides are beautiful, but once you climb up, you actually have no mood to appreciate the scenery.

Some people climb mountains purely to enjoy the feeling of being exhausted physically and mentally. By the end, all the random thoughts in their minds disappear, and only the rugged mountain road is left in front of them. It is a rare opportunity to empty themselves and release some of the stress in life and work.

This is also one of the reasons why more and more young people are beginning to like outdoor sports.

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian had no pressure and no worries. Apart from the scenery along the way to Mount Emei, the two were more looking forward to seeing where those stubborn people at the foot of the mountain would eventually fall. This was a bit of a bad taste, but it was really interesting.

Walking up the stairs, after just a few kilometers you will see some people sitting on the stairs in a daze. They lean against the guardrail, staring blankly ahead with unfocused eyes. It is obvious that their souls have been gone for a while.

Wang Fan took out a small package, which contained a white, round object that looked a bit like a glutinous rice ball. He walked over to the man who was wandering in the sky and held out his hand: "Brother, have something to eat and come back to your senses."

The guy was wearing glasses. When he heard someone talking to him, he mechanically looked up, then mechanically took the thing Wang Fan handed him and said "thank you".

Chen Mo never thought that he would climb Mount Emei with great ambition, but he was so tired that his mind went blank after climbing less than five kilometers.

His rapid breathing finally subsided after 10 minutes of rest, but looking at the golden roof in the distance still made him dizzy.

There was a blankness in my eyes, and I just wanted to sit there.

Suddenly a voice sounded in his ears, as if something was returned to him. Before his sluggish brain could think, his hand had already reached out to take it back.

He tore open the small packaging bag and stuffed it into his mouth without caring what was in it.

"what?"

A sweet fragrance emanated from his mouth, which brought a little clarity to his sluggish brain, and he couldn't help but start chewing.

He could feel that the thing in his mouth should be round, and it was very interesting to bite it with its chewy texture. The rich aroma of rice was mixed with a hint of the freshness of bamboo leaves, and the refreshing taste gave him a bright feeling.

When you take a bite, you can almost feel the little ball jumping in your mouth, and as your teeth pass through the skin, a rich meaty aroma emanates.

The meat filling is delicious and juicy, with a rich meaty aroma, combined with the unique fragrance of bean sprouts, making people unable to help but indulge in it.

The bouncy skin is very chewy, and the most amazing thing is that although it feels sticky, it doesn't stick to your teeth at all. The aroma of rice continues to blend into the aroma of meat. The small piece seems to contain huge energy, making Chen Mo feel like he has replenished some physical strength in an instant.

Standing up shakily, he hurriedly called out to Wang Fan, "Thank you, brother! I feel like I have the strength to climb up again!"

Wang Fan turned around and laughed, saying, "It's just an illusion. If you can't climb anymore, don't climb anymore. Don't make it too hard on yourself."

"what?"

Chen Mo was a little confused. Shouldn't he give himself some encouragement at this time? Why did he just tell him to give up?

"Bye-Bye."

Wang Fan said nothing more, waved goodbye to the passerby.

He really didn't persuade the guy to continue climbing. Given the guy's current condition, if he really continued climbing, he would probably lose half his life here. Just looking at his figure, you can tell that he has been sitting in an office for many years. It's okay to challenge himself, but there is really no need to challenge his life.

As for the small white ball given to Chen Mo, it was a very famous Sichuan snack called Yibin Yeerba.

Yeerba is a traditional Sichuan snack. Glutinous rice balls wrapped with fillings are placed on leaves and steamed over high heat.

The finished product is as white as jade and does not stick to the plate, chopsticks or teeth.

The fillings are either sweet or savory. The sweet fillings are made with white sugar, orange peel, rose sugar, and sesame seeds, while the savory fillings are made with fresh pork, winter bamboo shoots, chives, and MSG. Regardless of the flavor, the fillings are fragrant, soft, salty, and delicious, with a hint of leafy fragrance, making them a truly delicious local snack.

Having a foodie girlfriend meant catering to her tastes. Exploring food was a hobby of his own, and Wang Fan couldn't remember the last time he'd bought snacks. Furthermore, these homemade treats were clean and hygienic, free of all those messy additives and preservatives, and ready to eat. This alone convinced Wang Fan that his boyfriend status was secure.

Wang Fan was like a boy giving out money as he climbed up the mountain. Whenever he saw people climbing the mountain with great effort, he would go up to them and give them some small Yeerba.

Watching those who had gotten the Yeerba devouring the delicious treats, the others who were still able to maintain a basic climbing posture began to wonder: should they adjust their own climbing posture? The one who was lying on his back had already received two, and they looked so delicious!

……

Because Wang Fan was going to visit almost all scenic spots and would only stay there for one day, when he updated his status, he only said that he would set up a stall for one day in the place he was going to, but he did not tell his fans which scenic spot he would go to.

Sichuan is a major tourist province, and it is the National Day Golden Week. There is really no need to make fans go through so much trouble. I simply didn’t share the coordinates. Whether we can meet depends on fate.

But even so, it is inevitable that the location will be found by the powerful fans.

Li Jie said that he is a fan of Wang Fan, but he is not just talking. He not only follows Wang Fan on Weibo, but also adds him to the group.

How could he not share with others the joy that Wang Fan helped him improve the formula and production process?
Following the news he shared, fans searched for his store and found it. How could they not know that Wang Fan’s destination this time was Mount Emei?
These people were quite cunning. Many local people had already climbed Mount Emei and had no interest in going through the arduous task again. Moreover, Mount Emei was so huge that it was impossible to locate Wang Fan. But one thing was that Wang Fan's people could run around Mount Emei, but his car could only be parked in the parking lot!

Dozens of clever old men scattered in the parking lot and started an organized and premeditated car-finding game.

Wang Fan’s RV was no different from a bus, so it was extremely difficult to find it. Soon, dozens of people gathered around Wang Fan’s RV with strange laughter.

"Let's see how he can run away now. If he doesn't cook a meal today, he won't be able to drive away with this car, hehehe."

"He thinks we can't find it if he doesn't tell us the location? Fate is illusory. I only believe in my own efforts, hahaha."

"I have to thank Brother Jie for sharing the location, otherwise it would be really difficult to pinpoint his location."

"So we're just going to wait for him to come back?"

"Wait, even until the end of time!"

"Should we tell others that Boss Wang is here?"

The leader pondered for a moment and then whispered, "Let's wait until we finish eating before telling others the coordinates?"

The others' eyes lit up: "Great idea! Let's do it!"

At this time, Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian had just climbed to the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain.

Both of them were in good physical condition. They took the shortest route and climbed for 8 hours. They started climbing at 6 am and it was already 2 pm.

Climbing a mountain is never easy. Even if you are in good physical condition, you will feel physically and mentally exhausted when you reach the top.

But standing on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei and overlooking the entire Mount Emei, the feeling is incomparable.

The Golden Summit is 3077 meters above sea level, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Summit is 3099 meters above sea level, but neither of them believed in these things so they didn't go.

Standing on the Golden Summit and looking out, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the entire Mount Emei, with undulating peaks and swirling sea of ​​clouds, it seems like a fairyland.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. Unless there is a cable car, Wang Fan and his companions still have many attractions they want to visit, so they did not challenge their physical limits.

After taking the cable car, we reached the foot of the mountain in less than an hour, which had taken us 8 hours to climb. I looked at the time and it was just the right time to prepare dinner.

As soon as they walked into the parking lot, they were stunned when they saw the three layers of people there.

"Boss, what's going on?"

"I don't know. Could it be that there's an insider leaking the information?"

"Aren't we the only ones who know about this? Did I leak it?"

"That's definitely impossible. I guess the netizens this time are just too powerful."

Chen Mo saw Wang Fan again.

He finally followed Wang Fan's advice and didn't climb up anymore, but when he arrived at the parking lot and was about to leave, he found a group of people whispering around a bus.

He had no interest in listening to gossip at first, but when he drove past, the car looked familiar. After taking a closer look, he was delighted. Isn't this Boss Wang's RV?

You will understand after looking at this circle of people. They have discovered Boss Wang and are waiting here for delicious food!
Originally, he had no intention of chasing after Wang Fan, but since he had already met him, there was no reason not to give it a try. After the holiday, he could use it as a topic of conversation to brag to his colleagues.

And this wait lasted more than seven hours.

Fortunately, I have a car, so I can catch up on some sleep.

As for going somewhere else to buy something when you’re hungry, you absolutely can’t do that. Since you’re here, you have to eat Boss Wang’s delicious food to reward your stomach that has been waiting for half a day!
But after seeing Wang Fan's appearance clearly, he was confused again. Wasn't this the one who gave him millet balls on the mountain and persuaded him to go down the mountain?

This is Boss Wang? This is fate!

Wang Fan stepped forward and asked, "What are you all doing here?"

The leader, Jiang Feng, chuckled and said complacently, "What else can we do? Of course we're waiting for you! Don't say anything, Boss Wang. We haven't eaten for over ten hours and are starving. If you don't come soon, we'll starve to death. Hurry and make something to eat."

Wang Fan said with a puzzled look, "You guys are waiting here, aren't you afraid that I'll stay in the mountains tonight? That would be a wasted trip."

Jiang Feng was stunned. "Huh? Is that even possible? I was so focused on staying in your RV and having some delicious food that I forgot about your accommodation in the mountains."

"Really? It's a good thing Boss Wang didn't stay overnight on the mountain, otherwise wouldn't today's trip have been in vain?"

"But I'm really hungry now. Boss Wang, do you have any food in the car? Hurry and make something. I feel like I might starve to death at any moment."

Wang Fan had originally planned to set up a stall, so he naturally had food in his car. "Everyone, find a place to rest for a while. I have some food in my car. Just wait for me for a few minutes. I'll treat you to authentic Mapo Tofu."

Wang Fan was very touched that these people had been waiting in the parking lot for most of the day. He had some homemade tender tofu and beef in the food storage box in his car. He also happened to have obtained the golden legendary Mapo Tofu recipe. Making a meal for these people was a way to thank them for their support.

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard the word Mapo Tofu. This dish is famous, but not many of them are really delicious. They really want to see how delicious the Mapo Tofu made by Wang Fan would be.

They really want to know whether it is the dish or the chef who made it that is not good!
