Chapter 63-I’m Sorry, I’m Too Poor

"I am Chao, the golden legend!"

A crack appeared on the snow-white dough of the crab roe soup bun, and the golden crab roe sparkled in the sun, making everyone amazed.

Xue Ning, who often watches anime, exclaimed in admiration: "Wow, it's actually glowing food!"

Officer Zhong almost burst out laughing at Xue Ning's words. He never thought that Xue Ning, who was so rigorous and serious at work, would have such a childish side.

But this bun is so delicious, isn't it? Is this delicious taste really made possible by technology and hard work?
The rich and delicious aroma was so strong that it filled his nose. You have to know that he had only opened one bun, and there were several people between him and Lao Liu, but he could still smell the delicious aroma of the soup dumpling.

It's not like I haven't eaten crabs before, but complete crabs never seem to emit such a rich and strong smell.

On the disposable plate in Lao Liu's hand, the yellow crab oil and crab roe soaked into the bun skin, like a yellow and white chrysanthemum bud about to bloom.

Old Liu, who couldn't resist the temptation, put his mouth close to the plate and gently sipped the soup from the crab roe buns.

fresh!
As soon as the soup entered his mouth, the word "delicious" instantly filled Lao Liu's mind.

The crab roe has a delicate texture and melts in your mouth, leaving an extremely rich and fragrant taste in your mouth.

The deliciousness of the crab meat was irresistible to him. The meat was tender and dense, and the quantity was sufficient, as if all the essence of the ocean was gathered in this small soup dumpling.

Taking another sip of the soup filled with crab meat and crab roe, the sweetness of the crab meat and the richness of the crab roe complement each other, and together with the delicious broth, they create a unique and wonderful taste that makes Lao Liu eat so ecstatically.

For a moment, Lao Liu felt like a big crab was dancing on the tip of his tongue.

Old Liu closed his eyes, enjoying every second of the changes on the tip of his tongue and was reluctant to open them for a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes only when the sweet and delicious smell faded.

"I'm convinced. I, Old Liu, am completely convinced. This is all I can say about your crab roe buns, Boss."

With an exclamation of admiration, Lao Liu stretched out his thumb and compared it vigorously, wishing he could break his fingers.

"Boss, can we make a deal? Can we have unlimited crab roe buns today? I'll cover all of yours."

The New Year is approaching, and Lao Liu was planning to stock up on some New Year's goods to entertain his relatives. When these crab roe buns are taken out, his relatives will definitely be so happy that they will be at a loss as to what to do.

The people in the queue became anxious when they heard this.

"Old Liu, you shameless bastard, you can't eat all the food by yourself. What's so great about being a landlord? My pension is not bad either!"

"Anyone who eats alone will die! Young boss, you absolutely can't open this loophole. There are so many of us waiting. You will definitely sell out all the buns."

"Uncle Liu, you are too cruel! Please show mercy!"

Li Wei also shouted anxiously: "Uncle Liu, please take it easy. I am ready to go without food for three days just to try this bun. You can't let me miss this delicacy."

Old Liu was his and Feng Haoyu's landlord, so he naturally knew him.

Wang Fan said helplessly: "Uncle Liu, you heard it too, but it's not that I don't want to sell you everything."

Old Liu sighed in disappointment: "Okay, okay, then pack me 10. It's so frustrating that I can only eat so few of these delicacies."

Xue Ning and Officer Zhong also ordered 10 crab roe buns each.

Xue Ning put one on a small plate and gently poked the crystal clear bun skin with a straw.

The crab roe, crab meat, and rich, fragrant broth surged out again, carrying with them the unique aroma of seafood and the rich fragrance of chicken broth. Xue Ning took a deep breath and praised, "Just this aroma alone is better than the one I've eaten at before."

Officer Zhong asked curiously, "Do you think there's technology or ruthlessness added to this? Something like soup base flavoring, crab roe, or something like that?"

Xue Ning shook his head. "No. The flavor is indeed fragrant when that stuff is added, but it's rather mixed. The flavor of this crab roe bun is very simple. It's just the deliciousness of the crab itself, combined with the rich aroma of the old hen's broth. This kind of smell can't be produced by those technologies."

Officer Zhong said, "If you say so, then so be it. You must be an expert in this area."

Xue Ning blew on the bun gently, then put his mouth close to it and took a big sip.

The delicious broth, rich crab roe, and tender crab meat fill my mouth. That feeling is really...

For the first time, Xue Ning felt that he was at a loss for words.

That sense of satisfaction and happiness really makes people addicted to it.

"This boss's cooking skills are truly amazing. The crab roe buns I had in Suzhou before needed to be dipped in vinegar because the crab roe buns themselves were quite bland, but this boss's crab roe buns don't require vinegar at all."

Xue Ning once again praised: "The saltiness is controlled perfectly. A little more makes it salty, a little less makes it bland. It's truly a luminous dish!"

Officer Zhong gave a thumbs-up and praised, "As expected of a lab technician, you're truly professional. All I can say is, it's delicious and fresh. I can't come up with anything else."

Li Wei and Feng Haoyu were carrying 10 crab roe soup buns, and they could almost hear their hearts bleeding.

This is a full 100 yuan in RMB!
Almost three days' worth of food money had been spent on this breakfast. They both felt somewhat regretful.

Li Wei sighed and said, "I was just impulsive. I just bought two to try them out."

Feng Haoyu also sighed: "Who said it wasn't true? Why did he buy 10 at once? Will he be broke by the end of the month?"

The two looked at each other and sighed again.

"Forget it, just try it first. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Li Wei followed suit and opened a window on the crab roe bun. When he saw the crab roe and crab meat pouring out, he felt that the money he spent was actually worth it.

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, this is expensive for a reason. This splash alone is worth the money."

Feng Haoyu also opened the window: "Don't bother with that useless thing. You'll know whether it's worth it after you put it in your mouth."

After saying that, he put it close to his mouth and took a sip.

"Oh wow, it's so hot! It's burning me to death...whoosh..."

Before Feng Haoyu could taste what it tasted like, he was scalded by the boiling soup, which made him grimace and breathe heavily.

Li Wei laughed at him, "Hahahaha, I told you to hurry up. Didn't you see they all blew on the food for a while before eating it? It's fresh out of the pan, how can it not be hot? You have to learn from me."

After saying that, he blew air towards the open window, and only put his mouth close to it when the temperature dropped a little.

As the soup, crab roe and crab meat entered his mouth, the delicious taste conquered all of Li Wei's taste buds in an instant.

Li Wei felt like tears welling up in his eyes. Thinking of his empty wallet, he muttered to himself with some guilt: "It's not the buns' fault that they're expensive. What could be wrong with the buns? The fault is that I'm so damn poor!"
