If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

The instant the teeth touch the dough,

The soft and plump meat filling bursts in your mouth, and delicious juices instantly overflow.

A rich aftertaste lingered throughout the entire mouth.

The dough is very soft, yet still chewy.

Su Yun chewed,

You can feel the layers of wheat aroma swirling between your teeth.

The minced meat was so fresh and juicy!

"It's delicious!"

Su Yun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration!

The ratio of fat to lean meat is just right.

It has the moisturizing effect of oil, but it doesn't feel greasy.

The aroma of scallions and the slight spiciness of minced ginger blend together perfectly to neutralize the greasiness of the meat filling.

The umami flavor of the broth permeates every fiber of the meat.

The moment you swallow, the broth explodes in your throat, so delicious it makes your scalp tingle.

Su Yun took another bite, this time chewing it a few more times to savor it carefully.

have to say,

The dough has risen just right.

The air pockets are even and delicate, and the texture is as soft as biting into a cake.

The minced meat is firm yet elastic.

It's not loose or collapsed at all; instead, it has a great chewiness and is very solid.

The inner wall of the dough encasing the meat filling,

It tastes exceptionally delicious because it has absorbed the meat juices.

He took a few big bites.

The aroma of noodles, meat, scallions, and soy sauce unfolds in the mouth in succession.

It is clearly layered yet seamlessly integrated.

"hiss!"

Su Yun took a deep breath, almost swallowing her tongue.

These steamed buns tasted much better than he had imagined!

Put down the meat filling bun.

I picked up another steamed bun with braised pork!

The outer skin of the braised pork bun is also white, plump, and round.

But through the thin dough, you can see the bright red and oily filling inside.

Su Yun bit open a small hole, and hot air instantly gushed out from it.

The aroma of soy sauce is very rich.

With the unique caramel sweetness of sweet bean sauce, mixed with the aroma of meat, it wafts straight into your nose.

The meat cubes are cut into uniform sizes.

After being stewed for a long time, it has become tender and flavorful.

Take a bite,

The diced meat melts in your mouth, releasing a rich, savory aroma with a perfect balance of sweet and salty.

Unlike the fresh meat bun, the braised meat bun has a richer and more mellow flavor.

Every bite offers a rich and complex flavor of soy sauce; the meat is stewed until very tender and well-cooked.

The savory sauce doesn't mask the meat's natural aroma; instead, it enhances the meat's fragrance even more.

Compare the two types of steamed buns side by side.

Fresh meat buns emphasize freshness, while braised meat buns are richer and more flavorful.

One is elegant, the other is intense.

It is equally unforgettable and irresistible.

Su Yun ate four in one go: two with fresh meat and two with braised meat.

He ate until his mouth was greasy, still wanting more.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

Su Yun wiped her mouth; there were still a few buns left in the steamer.

Su Yun's eyes lit up.

If this were placed in a pedestrian street or a food street,

It's guaranteed to be a huge success!

Two for 10 yuan, no, even two for 15 yuan, and there would be a ton of people scrambling to buy them!

What a pity!

Su Yun looked around the air-raid shelter; it was dark and eerie.

There aren't even any wild monkeys here, let alone customers.

Su Yun walked to the cave entrance and glanced outside.

The desolate mountains and wild fields are overgrown with weeds.

Aside from the nice environment, it has no other advantages.

"Why!"

"A nice environment is useless! It can't fill your stomach!"

Su Yun leaned against the cave entrance, took out his phone, and opened WeChat.

There are already dozens of comments under yesterday's post on WeChat Moments.

"Where's Chef Su's restaurant? Please give me the location!"

"I'm taking tomorrow off to go eat there, please send me the location!"

"Boss, don't run away! My wife is pregnant and wants to eat your fried rice!"

"Please provide your location +1!"

"Please provide your location +10086!"

"....."

Looking at these comments, Su Yun couldn't help but want to share her location.

But after thinking about it, I held back.

It's really embarrassing to invite people over here!

First of all, it's too far away.

It takes almost an hour and a half to drive here from the city center.

We still have to climb a winding mountain road.

The air-raid shelter is halfway up the mountain; the last few hundred meters are a dirt road.

Potholes and bumps

Cars with lower chassis simply cannot drive up here.

Making someone drive for an hour,

I drove all the way from the south of the city to the east just to eat a few steamed buns.

Su Yun felt a pang of conscience.

Secondly, this place is too remote.

Su Yun opened her phone and looked at the map, but it wouldn't refresh several times.

This place is so remote that even navigation apps can't find it.

He called the people over.

When people see this environment, they'll wonder if he's lost his mind!

Just imagining that scene makes Su Yun want to die.

"Never mind, never mind!"

Su Yun put away her phone and sighed.

That's it for this week. We'll sell as many as we can.

If we can't sell them, we'll eat them ourselves.

Anyway, steamed buns can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.

He returned to the food cart, put the lid back on the steamer, and maintained the temperature.

Then I bought a small megaphone from the system store.

I'm going to record a sales pitch to attract some customers.

Although there aren't many people around here.

But something is better than nothing.

"Fresh pork buns, braised pork buns! Freshly baked, delicious and affordable!"

The sound is recorded.

When the loudspeaker was turned on, it echoed and buzzed inside the air-raid shelter, sounding like chanting.

Su Yun: ......

"no?"

"This is terrifying!"

Su Yun listened for two seconds and then quickly turned it off.

"It's better to keep quiet."

......

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain.

A middle-aged man is climbing up the mountain path.

His name is Zhao Dayong, and he is the only forest ranger in this mountain forest.

He has been guarding this area for over 20 years.

He knows every tree and blade of grass on the mountain better than he does his own home.

This morning, as usual, he went to patrol the mountain, walking from the east side to the west side.

It took almost four hours to walk.

My stomach had been growling for a while.

Zhao Dayong touched his deflated belly, looking a little worried.

He brought only two flatbreads and a pot of water with him when he went up the mountain.

I was in a rush to leave this morning.

Damn it, I forgot the pancakes on the table.

Now within a radius of several kilometers.

There wasn't a single restaurant in sight, not even a ghost.

"Oops, I was careless."

Zhao Dayong sighed and took the water bottle off his waist.

"Have some water to fill your stomach."

After a while.

I feel much better now.

Zhao Dayong planned to patrol the last point before heading down the mountain and home.

I took out the map and looked at it.

"Yes, this is it, the abandoned air-raid shelter."

Zhao Dayong knew about this air-raid shelter; it had been dug decades ago and had long been abandoned.

However, because the cave entrance faces south and the terrain is high.

Occasionally, some hikers or mountaineering enthusiasts will use it as a temporary rest stop.

Zhao Dayong would take a look every time he patrolled the mountain.

They were worried that someone might start a fire inside and cause a wildfire, and they were also worried that someone might get lost and hide inside.

Zhao Dayong walked up the familiar dirt road.

When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we suddenly stopped.

He sniffed.

Ok?

Something's not right!

What does it taste like?

A faint aroma wafted in the air, like noodles... and the smell of meat.

Zhao Dayong took a deep sniff.

Are you kidding me?

Where in this desolate wilderness could you find so many kinds of things?

But he kept smelling it!

Absolutely!

I didn't smell anything wrong!

That's really strange!

Moreover, the aroma is strange; it's hard to tell if it's sweet or salty, but it makes you feel very hungry.

My stomach was already growling with hunger.

The aroma still wafts so sweetly that Zhao Dayong feels his mouth watering.

No, no!

It's definitely not right at all!

Zhao Dayong frowned.

No matter what, there shouldn't be any fragrance coming from this place.

I've been guarding this mountain forest for over 20 years.

He knew exactly what was on the mountain.

There weren't even any water stalls, let alone restaurants.

Occasionally, a few backpackers will bring self-heating rice.

But that smell was completely different from what I smell now.

Zhao Dayong followed the scent forward.

They got closer and closer as they walked.

The aroma became increasingly strong.

When he reached the entrance of the air-raid shelter, he froze on the spot.

Holy crap!

It smells so good!

And this fragrance is coming from inside the air-raid shelter!

Zhao Dayong swallowed hard and pinched himself hard. This wasn't a dream!

Why are people steaming buns inside this air-raid shelter?

A strong, fresh scent wafted from the cave entrance.

Zhao Dayong took a deep drag.

I feel like I'm about to fly into the sky.

Fragrant!

It smells so good!

He couldn't resist walking into the cave entrance.

After taking two or three steps

He was completely stunned.

Inside the air-raid shelter, there was a food truck with a light on its roof.

Two folding tables were set up next to the food cart.

Several steamer baskets were placed on the table.

Steam is hissing and popping out!

If he's not mistaken.

The delicious aroma in the air is coming from these steamer baskets!

Zhao Dayong: ? ? ? ?

No!

This scene is absolutely bizarre!

Who the hell would have thought there was a stall set up here?!

It looks like someone is steaming buns here?

Holy crap!

Could he have encountered a ghost?

Swallowing hard, Zhao Dayong couldn't help but take a step back.

If it weren't for my stomach protesting so badly...

And I was indeed so hungry that I had no energy left.

Fuck!

He's really going to run away!

This is terrifying!

And this time,

Zhao Dayong also noticed a young man leaning against a folding chair next to the food cart, dozing off with his eyes closed.

"Holy shit!"

Zhao Dayong rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

There really is someone there?

Are there really people setting up stalls inside this air-raid shelter?

What kind of quirk is this?

"What the hell is going on here?"

Zhao Dayong couldn't help but swear.

He has been guarding this mountain for over 20 years.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone selling steamed buns inside an air-raid shelter. This is more absurd than seeing a ghost, isn't it?

At least ghosts have some kind of explanation.

A steamed bun stall suddenly appeared out of nowhere inside the air-raid shelter.

He just couldn't understand it.

Zhao Dayong hesitated for a moment, but still went inside.

No matter what.

As a mountain keeper

He should at least care about people's mental state.

Footsteps echoed in the empty air-raid shelter.

This startled Su Yun, who was dozing off.

Su Yun opened her eyes.

She paused for a moment, then quickly sat up straight.

"Hello, hello, what would you like to eat?"

Zhao Dayong sized up the young man in front of him.

He looked at the food cart and steamer baskets again, his face full of doubt.

No!

This young man seems perfectly normal, and he doesn't speak incoherently!

How could someone do such a thing?

"Young man... are you... selling steamed buns?"

Zhao Dayong chuckled.

"Yes, the braised pork buns and fresh pork buns are fresh out of the steamer."

Su Yun smiled and lifted the lid of the steamer.

A burst of white steam suddenly erupted, instantly making the aroma even more intense.

Zhao Dayong took a step back in shock, "Holy crap!"

It smells so good!

This fragrance is absolutely irresistible!

Two rows of steamed buns were neatly arranged inside the steamer.

It's white and plump, with thin, translucent skin.

The filling inside is clearly visible.

It looks really good.

However, the problem is...

"Young man, what are you doing setting up a stall in a place like this?"

Zhao Dayong was completely baffled.

He's been on the mountain for so many years and has never seen anyone set up a stall here.

This place has no customers, let alone any.

Not a single person passes by; how many can you sell in a day?

Hey?

No, no!

Zhao Dayong slapped his forehead, realizing he had been tricked.

Would a normal person even think of setting up a stall in a place like this?

"Hey, I've got nothing better to do, so I deliberately found a quiet spot to set up a stall and gather some material for my videos."

Su Yun waved his phone in his hand; he had already come up with a solution.

Shooting footage?

Zhao Dayong's lips twitched.

But I have to admit, this reason actually makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, you're fucking bored!

You scared me to death, you know?

"That...."

Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Dayong's stomach started to protest again.

Glug!

The explosion sounded particularly loud in the quiet air-raid shelter.

Zhao Dayong blushed and coughed awkwardly.

"Brother, would you like a couple to try?"

Su Yun asked, understandingly.

Zhao Dayong hesitated.

To be honest, he wasn't really comfortable with the products sold there.

Inside the air-raid shelter in the desolate mountains,

What if I get diarrhea from eating steamed buns sold by a stranger?

Or even more serious

What should I do if I get food poisoning from eating it?

Or perhaps...

If you eat it,

What if you get drugged and wake up to find your kidneys are gone?

The more Zhao Dayong thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.

But his stomach growled louder and louder, and the delicious aroma kept wafting into his nose.

It made him feel like there was a hand scratching his stomach.

Three seconds later.

In the end, hunger triumphed over reason.

"How much is one?"

"Three yuan each."

"3 yuan?"

Zhao Dayong was stunned for a moment.

This price is quite cheap.

The steamed buns at those shops outside cost four or five yuan.

"Then let's have two, one with fresh meat and one with braised meat."

"Okay!"

Su Yun deftly picked up two steamed buns.

Put it in a paper bag and hand it to Zhao Dayong.

Zhao Dayong took the bag.

I weighed it in.

It looks quite professional.

Zhao Dayong looked down at the steamed buns inside.

It was steaming hot, so hot that he could barely hold it.

"Looks good..."

Zhao Dayong hesitated for a moment, then picked up the meat bun first.

I blew on it and took a bite.

next second.

Zhao Dayong froze completely!

The scalding hot soup exploded in my mouth!

He was so excited he almost swallowed his tongue!

"Holy crap, what kind of magical steamed buns are these?"

He lived for over fifty years!

This is the first time I've ever had such delicious steamed buns!

Zhao Dayong wasn't unfamiliar with good food.

When I was young, I worked in the city and went to all the famous old-established steamed bun shops.

But what are those things?

Thick crust, little filling, dry and tasteless.

Later, he returned to his hometown and became a forest ranger.

They no longer had the chance to eat anything good.

Every day I just eat pancakes and steamed buns to get by.

As long as it fills my stomach, that's fine.

But today's steamed bun.

Zhao Dayong took another bite.

This time I bit directly into the meat filling, which was very firm and chewy.

Each piece of meat is soaked in broth, bursting with flavor between your teeth and releasing a rich meaty aroma.

The dough is soft yet chewy.

The outer layer was slightly damp from being soaked in steam.

The inner layer, however, still retains its chewiness, making it very pleasant to chew.

fresh!!

So fresh!

The entire mouth is filled with the natural umami flavor released by the ingredients after careful pairing and cooking.

The freshness of the pork, the richness of the broth, the aroma of scallions and ginger, layer upon layer...

They complement each other!

It seemed to permeate every taste bud!

Zhao Dayong finished the meat bun in no time.

He licked his lips, still wanting more.

Some were still stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

I go?

What did I do?

You finished such a big bun?

……

at the same time,

Under a bridge arch somewhere.

The three people stared blankly at the empty bridge archway in front of them.

"Where's my stall?"

"What the hell is this huge operation I have?"

"Where did it go!"

"..."
