The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 108 Yellow Food Spirit

When Xu Zhu and Song Xiaoyu arrived at the amusement park, it was the quietest time of day for the food street. In addition, "Happy Party" amusement park did not have its own popularity, so the food area was completely empty.

But now, a few hours later, the food area has changed dramatically. There are customers queuing in front of almost every stall. Although it is not as large as the food street was before, it is no longer deserted.

"I didn't expect that in just a few hours, so many guests would have arrived here," Song Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise.

“They must have all come from the food street,” Xu Zhu pondered. “Many food street diners come specifically for the food at the Yu Ling Chef stalls and aren’t interested in the food at the regular stalls.”

“If they can’t see the vendors setting up their stalls, they’ll keep asking around.”

"Just like us."

“That’s not important. What’s important is that we have to queue now.” Song Xiaoyu shook her head. “And I have a feeling that the queue will get longer and longer.”

Just think about the taste of the food at those stalls; once you've tried it, you won't want to leave!

"How about we split up?" Xu Zhu suggested. "That way we can each choose our favorite food, and the queuing process will be more efficient."

Song Xiaoyu nodded without hesitation.

The two passed through the ticket gate and quickly got to work.

Xu Zhu's goal was very clear: he immediately set his sights on another dish he loved called Rougeta.

It's a dish made by mixing different types of meat and fruits and vegetables. Every bite is full of meat, but it's not greasy at all and is exceptionally delicious.

Now that the flavor has been further enhanced, he is really curious to see how delicious it will be.

Meanwhile, Song Xiaoyu was caught in a dilemma.

Because she didn't know anything about the food here, she wanted to eat everything she saw, but with her stomach capacity, it was impossible for her to finish it all.

Wandering aimlessly in the food court, smelling the aromas of various delicacies mingling in the air, Song Xiaoyu swallowed hard, but couldn't make up her mind.

Damn it... If only she had the stomach of a glutton!
Just as she was hesitating, two diners walked past her with the same dish in their hands. In the sunlight, the food looked golden and round, and it was particularly pleasing to the eye.

As the two walked by, a pungent aroma of crispy pastry instantly overwhelmed all other scents, forcefully wafting into Song Xiaoyu's nose.

This taste?!
For a girl, this flavor is simply irresistible!

Song Xiaoyu took a deep drag, then awkwardly pulled one of the diners aside, saying, "Excuse me, sir."

"Where did you buy this food?"

"That stall over there, the owner has a yellow food spirit." The customer smiled and kindly pointed out the location to Song Xiaoyu.

After thanking her, Song Xiaoyu quickened her pace.

She'd made up her mind; this was the first dish she wanted to try!

Soon, several stalls in the corner came into view of Song Xiaoyu.

"The yellow Food Spirit, is this it?" Upon seeing that one of the stall owners had a yellow Food Spirit, Song Xiaoyu immediately joined the queue.

As they walked, the aroma of crispy pastries grew stronger, and Song Xiaoyu sniffed, feeling even hungrier.

She couldn't help but pat the girl in front of her on the shoulder, "Excuse me, how long do we expect to wait?"

"It's pretty fast." The girl in front smiled. "It only takes two or three minutes to make one serving, so it'll be our turn soon."

"Huh?" Song Xiaoyu looked surprised.

If she wasn't mistaken, the food she just saw was a kind of dessert. Aren't desserts usually made in batches at once?

However, she quickly put this question out of her mind.

Perhaps the way these desserts are made is different. The two girls chatted casually as the line continued to move forward.

Soon, the two women arrived at the front of the line.

"Give us both a serving of fried rice!" the girl called out to the young stall owner, then smiled slightly at Song Xiaoyu.

“…Fried rice with egg?” Song Xiaoyu blinked.

Only then did she see the true nature of the food she wanted to buy.

That wasn't the round pastry she'd seen before at all; it was a kind of stir-fried dish cooked in a large wok!
More importantly, she saw rice at the stall!

In other words, this kind of food is very likely a staple food!
Realizing this, Song Xiaoyu's expression immediately became quite interesting.

It's not that she has any prejudice against staple foods.

but…

After finishing one main dish, will she be able to eat anything else?

"A new batch of egg yolk pastries is ready!"

A shout drifted from the side, and Song Xiaoyu subconsciously turned her head to look. She saw Cao Dongdong, who was at the stall next to her, opening the oven and distributing freshly made egg yolk pastries to the waiting customers.

That crispy, fragrant aroma, that round, plump shape…

There's no mistake! That's the snack she wanted!

Looking at the yellow food spirits in front of the two stalls, Song Xiaoyu wished she could slap her past self.

Why not ask a few more questions!
"I'll pass..." Song Xiaoyu shook her head slightly, just about to say something, when she heard a "sizzle" sound.

Those were egg whites being stir-fried in a pan. The clear egg white liquid quickly turned into a pure white color like clouds under the activation of the hot oil, and it became visibly smooth and tender under Qin Lang's rapid stir-frying.

At the same time, the aroma of eggs burst forth as the hot oil activated it, forcefully entering Song Xiaoyu's nostrils.

This…

Song Xiaoyu felt a sudden blankness in her mind, and then forgot what she was about to say.

"Hey? You've been waiting in line for so long, aren't you going to give up?" the girl in front of me said with some regret.

"What? You don't want it?" The next customer exclaimed with delight, "Then move aside, I want to buy it!"

As the girl spoke, Qin Lang, without looking up, took the cooked egg whites out of the pan, then added the rice mixed with the egg yolks and quickly stir-fried them.

Each grain of rice is evenly coated with egg liquid. With Qin Lang's skillful tossing motion, it bounces up again as soon as it falls back into the pan, and under the sunlight, it looks like fine pieces of gold, making it hard to look away.

As the stir-frying continued, the increasingly rich aroma of eggs burst forth under the activation of the heat, mixing with the aroma of the fried rice itself.

When the egg whites were added back into the pot, the interplay of gold and silver colors instantly caught everyone's attention.

Finally, add a few tender chopped scallions that look like they could be squeezed for juice...

"Here's your fried rice."

Qin Lang handed the freshly cooked fried rice to the girl in front of Song Xiaoyu, then cast an inquiring glance at Song Xiaoyu.

"I want one!" Song Xiaoyu's tone was firm.

Forget about staple foods, she absolutely has to eat this delicious food!
