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

Chapter 628 - The Northeastern Frozen Pear's Counterattack
"Brother, what is this black thing?"

"Brother, do you know how to get to Central Avenue?"

"Brother, can I really get the hot packs for free?"

The group of four went out and strolled to the commercial street, only to find that it was full of people.

Wang Fan looked at these girls who were wearing light-colored down jackets, cute hats, and speaking softly with some curiosity.

"Why does it seem like these little southern princesses who came here this year have grown so much taller?"

Zhuo Qianqian was also very curious and said, "That's true. When I was in the south before, there weren't many people over 1.6 meters tall. These people seem to be over 1.7 meters tall. Some of them are taller than me."

Liu Hehe whispered, "Because these are not southern girls at all, they are all big frozen pears from the Northeast."

"what?"

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian were very surprised: "You mean our local girl has emerged as a little princess from the south?"

Liu Zhaofeng confirmed: "That's right, each of them has practiced at home for a long time before going out to practice."

Wang Fan suddenly asked Liu Hehe, "So your white down jacket and pink bear hat are also..."

Liu Hehe was very proud: "Of course it is. Look, I mixed some frozen pears for you. I have been practicing for more than half a month."

After saying this, he walked confidently towards a big brother who was selling frozen pears.

The big brother was wearing a military coat, wrapped in three layers of thick clothes inside and outside, and was looking at the girls in front of the stall with a smile on his face.

The little girls were a little confused as they kept calling their eldest brother "brother".

Liu Hehe walked over and said, "Brother, what is this black thing?"

Wang Fan and others were not far behind her, and they shuddered all over when they heard the sound of her clip.

The eldest brother was very impressed by this and smiled even more: "Are you from the South? This is called frozen pear, just take two and try it."

Liu Hehe looked shy: "Oh, that's so inappropriate. Brother will lose money, right?"

The eldest brother said generously: "What's the loss? They are all grown on our own trees. Eat them. Don't be polite to your brother."

"But there are four of us."

"Two for each person, two for each person. Come back for more if they are delicious."

Liu Hehe was very happy. He had lived in Northeast China for 20 years, and it was not in vain that he had eaten frozen pears!
"Ah, thank you brother for the frozen pear."

"Wait a moment..."

The eldest brother looked at Liu Hehe with suspicion: "What was your last sentence?"

"I said thank you brother for the frozen pear."

Liu Hehe has a round face and big eyes, and he is quite lethal when he deliberately makes a cute expression.

"There's no point trying to trick us. I gave this to the little princess from the south. Take it!"

But it was obvious that the eldest brother didn't buy it. Not only did he snatch back the eight frozen pears he had just given out, he also said to Liu Hehe angrily: "Your accent is heavier than mine, and you're still pretending to be a little princess in front of me!"

"Pfft...hahaha..."

When Wang Fan and the other two saw Liu Hehe being humiliated, they couldn't help laughing out loud, and even his younger brother Liu Zhaofeng was no exception.

Liu Hehe walked back angrily, still unconvinced, and asked, "Do I have an accent? I thought I had an accent, so how did he tell?"

Zhuo Qianqian, who has a low sense of humor, has buried her face in Wang Fan's arm. The temperature outside is now below minus ten degrees Celsius, and the snot and tears from laughing are likely to freeze on her face.

Liu Zhaofeng corrected his elder sister, "It's 'eight', not 'one'. If you've already 'one' out, how can people not hear it?"

Liu Hehe was very annoyed: "Oh, I forgot to learn the numbers. I will go back and continue practicing. I don't believe it!"

The girls in Northeast China actually come from families with high status, but after being queens for so many years, they also want to try being princesses. Some girls also practice the jiazi sound as hard as Liu Hehe, and some of them are so talented that they can really scare the local men.

But there are also some big frozen pears that will make mistakes in some details, which will lead to a severe scolding from the big brothers.

But you know what, this made the whole Erbin full of joy again, with laughter and joy everywhere, and it was suddenly full of energy.

And the most interesting thing is that many little princesses from the south who come here now have also begun to disguise themselves as large frozen pears from Northeast China, with the main focus being on a contrast.

There was a large candied haws stall at the intersection ahead. All four sides of the stall were filled with all kinds of candied haws. Seeing these things, Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian were really amazed. Spicy strips, instant noodles, chili peppers, and ginseng candied haws were just basic items. The high-end items included candied king crabs and candied lobsters. The lobsters were as big as a small arm.

"Brother, the candied haws are too sweet. Can you help me put some sugar in? Three-tenths of sugar is best."

"Love! Wait for it, sister, I'll do it for you."

"Brother, I want five cents of candy."

"Okay, I'll be fine soon."

Accustomed to the bold and unrestrained voices of girls from Northeast China, the gentle and soft Wu dialect immediately made the Northeastern men lose their guard. They began to speak in a soft voice unconsciously, and their mouths stretched to the back of their ears.

Fine bran is delicious!

"Brother, this sweet and sour pork is too big, can you help me cut it open?"

"Hey, okay, okay, can I cut it this big?"

"That's great, thank you brother!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to cut it! You can even cut the sweet and sour pork?! What's going to happen to my upper gums that have been rubbed raw for so many years?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hehe's defense broke down immediately. If Liu Zhaofeng hadn't pulled him back, he would have run directly to confront the big brother selling sweet and sour pork.

"Okay, sister, let's go."

"No, I must talk to him!"

Zhuo Qianqian felt that Harbin was so interesting now, and it seemed that there were locals everywhere who had broken down their defenses.

It really feels so joyful just strolling on the street, there are interesting people and things everywhere.

Wang Fan also feels that this year's Harbin is happier and more vibrant than last year.

Second uncle's house is not far from Liu Hehe's house. After strolling for an afternoon, the few of them agreed to go ice skating on the Songhua River together the next morning and then went back to their respective homes. Although they knew that Wang Fan would definitely cook a table of delicious food, and although their mouths were about to burst, they had no intention of going to his house for a free meal. It is very necessary to be moderate when interacting with others.

But not long after Liu Hehe got home, he was sitting on the sofa and scrolling through his phone when he nearly exploded with rage. "Do these people have any shame? Are there any people like them?"

Liu Zhaofeng had just helped clean up the table when he asked in confusion, "What's wrong, sister?"

Liu Hehe said angrily: "These people are so shameless, so shameless. I have never seen such shameless people."

Liu Zhaofeng took the phone and looked at it, a surge of anger rising to his head. "Lightning Avoidance Harbin Ice and Snow World, there's nothing inside except ice?"

"Are Northeastern sticky rice dumplings a pre-made dish?"

"Beware of Harbin's fake hospitality. There's no free shuttle bus after we get off the plane."

"Avoiding Harbin, 14 people ordered 4 dishes and still not full?"

"Avoiding a self-service lunch box and not allowing two people to share? Wow, whoever can come up with this idea is really talented."

"Doesn't it snow every day in Harbin to avoid lightning? My goodness, is Harbin really breaking the law? It snows every day. How can we still go out?"

"I waited in line for ages but didn't get to ride the slide. So I'm asking for a refund? Oh, taking photos with the ice sculptures and the performances are just sideshows. The free slide is the main attraction."

"Fuck you!"

Liu Zhaofeng was also angry after reading it. You said that if there are problems such as stores overcharging customers and selling mismatched goods, there is nothing wrong with them speaking out, and it is even more reasonable to solve them. But what are these things they send out?

Is this tourism coming or becoming king?
"Dad, don't you care about them?"

Director Liu was reading a newspaper when he heard his son's words and shook his head. "Why bother? Let them say whatever they want. We have a clear conscience. After all, these people are a minority. Justice is in the hearts of the people."

He was naturally heartbroken when he heard the news, but there are all kinds of birds in the forest, so there is really no need to be angry with them.

But after thinking about it, he said to the brother and sister, "By the way, since you mentioned this, I have to tell you something. If Wang Fan is planning to open a business, just tell him to keep the prices fair. Don't give away anything for free. If he starts this business, those local shops will be in trouble."

Their Cultural and Tourism Bureau hopes that Wang Fan can come back. After all, many tourists specifically ask for the food he cooks, but they also have the attitude that if they can invite him, then he can come, but if they can't, there's nothing they can do about it.

He is an independent individual, you can't shamelessly ask him to do this or that.

So even though Wang Fan came back, the Cultural and Tourism Bureau did not ask him to cooperate with their work, and let him make all the decisions on his own.

But he had to explain the free thing, because Wang Fan's reputation was too big now, and if he gave things away for free, many jobs would be in a very passive position. The prices in Harbin were not expensive to begin with, and if he gave things away for free a few more times, many shop owners would be left with nothing.

Liu Hehe agreed: "Okay, we are going to the Songhua River to skate tomorrow. I will tell him for you."

Director Liu said cheerfully, "Be careful when you slide, don't break your second knife."

Liu Hehe was unconvinced: "That's definitely better than Brother Wang and Qianqian, right? At least I can walk in a straight line!"

……

The four of them got up early in the morning and went to the morning market.

Zhuo Qianqian didn't have much experience with Northeast China having its own currency, and she really wanted to see what it was like and fill her stomach at the same time.

"If you didn't have someone from the Northeast with you, you would definitely have gone to the Hongzhuan Street morning market again. That place is too commercialized now. You have to queue up to eat anything, and the prices are more expensive than other places. I'll take you to Sanxing Street. The food there is delicious and cheap."

Wang Fan felt it was necessary to emphasize: "I'm from Northeast China too, I just don't spend much time at home."

"Hahaha, what a slip of the tongue."

After parking the car, they went into the morning market.

The environment here is just like any other place, with old residential buildings on both sides, red walls on the left and yellow walls on the right, which is very down-to-earth.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old man selling frozen pears.

Liu Hehe walked over and asked, "Uncle, how much are your frozen pears? Are they sweet?"

The old man chuckled and said, "4 yuan a pound, it's sweet, of course it's sweet. If it's not sweet, you can just throw the pear in my face and I won't even say a word."

Liu Hehe said: "Okay, leave 5 kilograms for us, and we will buy more after we finish our meal."

Going further in, you can see all kinds of things for sale, including discounted shoes and clothes, grains, homemade bulk liquor, and various pastries. The variety is very rich.

As we walked further in, we started to see various snacks. Zhuo Qianqian saw a crispy egg burger and was very interested in it. She pulled Wang Fan over, while Liu Hehe and his sister waited on the side.

There were quite a lot of people at the morning market at this time, and you could tell that most of them were locals. There was already a queue in front of the egg burger stall, and you could tell by looking at it that it must taste good.

After waiting in line for more than ten minutes, it was finally their turn.

Inside the food cart were two men in their thirties, one of whom was even wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt. They were pouring egg liquid into the mold with swift movements.

Wang Fan asked, "Brother, how much is this crispy egg burger?"

The guy in the T-shirt quickly replied, "There are two kinds of fillings. The pork one is 3.5 yuan each, and the beef one is 4 yuan each."

The price may not sound cheap, but when you compare it to the size of the egg burger, you can tell how cost-effective it is. This big egg burger is enough to fill most people up.

At this time, the brother in the T-shirt was brushing sauce on the egg burger. The fried egg burger with golden brown sides looked more tempting after being brushed with pink sauce. The rich aroma of eggs, noodles and meat mixed with each other really made people's mouths water.

Wang Fan bought 4 of each flavor, and Zhuo Qianqian took a beef one and started to eat it.

The golden and crispy crust wrapped in the tender and juicy beef patty makes people salivate at the sight.

The surface of the egg burger is sprinkled with some sesame seeds and a layer of ketchup. The rich aroma of beef combined with the sour aroma of ketchup makes you feel hungry just by smelling it.

Wang Fan sniffed and said, "This ketchup is good. It's actually made from alkaline earth-skinned persimmons. No wonder it smells so good."

"It's not very hot, boss, try it."

Zhuo Qianqian handed the egg burger to Wang Fan's mouth, and Wang Fan took a big bite from the place where he had bitten off a small piece.

Under a thin layer of puff pastry is a thick and soft cake base, and below that is a large piece of beef patty. When you take a bite, the rich juice in the beef patty is squeezed out, and your whole mouth is filled with the aroma of milk and meat.

The taste of the beef patty is not very strong. The salty, sweet, and sour and sweet taste of the tomato sauce on the egg burger are blended together, making this snack, which looks a bit greasy, not feel greasy at all after eating it.

“It’s delicious, no wonder there are so many people lining up.”

Wang Fan never underestimated people's ideas, especially this meat pie. He knew it was genuine as soon as he tasted it. If the ingredients were fresh, the taste would not be too bad. Except for himself, he basically never found fault with others.

"Ah, what a sour smell of love!"

Liu Hehe rubbed his arms vigorously, as if he could feel the goose bumps inside through his down jacket: "Brother, can you two be more careful? There are two pure single dogs here."
