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

Chapter 51-Eating Crystal Shrimp Dumplings (Part )
"Come on, come on, make way, make way."

"Don't push, don't push, don't push. We're definitely going to be able to buy one since we lined up so early."

"The one who cut in line in front of me, get out here! Don't be so shameless!"

"Please make way. If you don't let him in, no one will be able to buy buns."

Old Liu took a small loudspeaker and started conducting on the spot.

There’s nothing I can do, I just bought too many buns.

Wang Fan hadn't even arrived yet, but there were already more than thirty people gathered in front of the stall where he often stood.

The people's quality is pretty good. Except for a few who want to take advantage of the situation, most of them are queuing up in an orderly manner.

Aunt Wang chatted with Old Liu on the side: "I wonder if this little boss has any vegetarian buns today. My eldest grandson needs to control his weight."

Old Liu chuckled and said, "Being fat when you're young isn't considered fat. When you grow up, you should lose weight."

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes. "Come on, my son and daughter-in-law are nagging me to death for putting on a pound of weight. They keep nagging me all day long without me even noticing. I'm exhausted and still can't get anything good out of it. What am I even trying to achieve?"

Old Liu echoed, "Who says it's not true? Every day he's not allowed to eat this, not allowed to eat that, not allowed to play this, not allowed to play that. Fortunately, my child hasn't gotten married yet."

Wang Fan didn't expect these people to be so enthusiastic. His own people hadn't arrived yet, but the diners were already ready.

Old Liu was at the front of the line and asked with a smile, "Boss, what's the filling in these buns today?"

Wang Fan replied as he set the table, "Today we have crystal shrimp dumplings and preserved vegetable and pork filling."

"Crystal shrimp dumplings?"

"Pork with preserved vegetables?"

These two fillings are not very common, and you usually have to go to a small shop that specializes in making special buns to eat them. The ones with pickled mustard greens and pork are better, but the crystal shrimp dumplings are really rare.

Lao Liu has eaten a lot of steamed buns, but he has never eaten crystal shrimp dumplings.

"Oh, looks like I'm in for a treat today! I've never had crystal shrimp dumplings before, and I have no idea what they taste like."

Aunt Wang also said, "I went there to eat once with my son, and the taste was just so-so. The price was really expensive. Last time, the whole steamer cost 68 yuan, and there were only four of them. How are you selling this, boss? You're not going to sell it that expensive, are you?"

Aunt Wang said it was not that she couldn’t afford 68 yuan, but that it really didn’t offer good value for money.

After hearing what Aunt Wang said, the other diners also became a little worried.

"Yeah, boss, it won't be that expensive, right? If it is that expensive, I can't afford it."

"Don't even mention 68, I can't even afford 34. This isn't like eating a bun, this is like eating gold."

"Boss, since we're so familiar with each other, can you give me a 25% discount? I'll give it a try."

25% off means 17 for 4 yuan, which is affordable if you grit your teeth.

Wang Fan smiled and said, "My crystal shrimp dumplings are 10 yuan for 3. If you insist on charging 17 yuan for 4, I don't mind."

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up and she said, "Hey? Why is this so cheap?"

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. If something is too expensive, you can’t afford it. If it is too cheap, people will think it is not good.

Wang Fan explained, "The prawns I bought are freshly deprived of oxygen. They're relatively cheap. They're not as good as the live ones, but they're much better than the frozen ones. They're all clean, so you can eat them with confidence. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Oh, now I understand. I often buy shrimps that have just been deprived of oxygen. There is actually no difference in taste between them and fresh shrimps." Retired Professor Jiang Jianjun said with a smile from behind.

Wang Fan opened the food storage box and took out a crystal shrimp dumpling with a stainless steel clip and held it in his hand.

The dumpling skin of crystal shrimp dumplings is somewhat similar to that of rice noodle rolls. Both are white and translucent, and you can easily see the filling inside even without opening it.

Wang Fan pinched the two sides of the shrimp dumpling and gently broke it, and a stream of oil flowed out along the cracks.

A large ball of red and pink shrimp meatballs appeared directly in front of everyone.

At the same time, a fresh fragrance began to spread.

The rich and fresh aroma has some vegetable flavor, but the more prominent aroma is the shrimp.

Professor Jiang Jianjun sniffed and praised, "Good stuff! I can tell from the smell that this isn't something that comes from dead fish or rotten shrimp. The young boss wasn't lying."

Wang Fan had already picked up the shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth.

Afraid that one was not enough to convince others, he took another one out of the food storage box and put it in his mouth.

When he was about to take another one, the diners became anxious.

Old Liu shouted angrily, "Hey! Let go of the shrimp dumpling! You only make so few a day, there's not enough for us to share, and you actually want to eat two for yourself. Do you understand what it means that the customer is king? Put that shrimp dumpling down! Put it down!"

Professor Jiang Jianjun also looked heartbroken. "I didn't say I didn't believe you. What are you going to eat? If you want to eat, you can always make it when you get home. How can you take the quota that already belongs to us? You're committing a crime!"

"That's right! I didn't even go to work this afternoon because I was waiting to eat your buns. If you finish them by yourself, my leave would have been in vain!"

"Boss, if you put down the shrimp dumplings, we can still be good friends!"

"Shit! Stop taking it and put it down! We want what you took too!"

Wang Fan's hand holding the crystal shrimp dumpling was a little stiff. He didn't know whether to put it in his mouth or put it back.

Put it in your mouth. The diners are so excited that they seem to tear you apart if you move again.

It would be even more inappropriate to put it back. My hands are already dirty, so wouldn’t it be unclean if I put it back?
After thinking about it, I finally put it in my mouth. Hmm, it smells so good.

"Ahhhh, boss, you bastard! If I can't eat shrimp dumplings today, I will cut you open to save my shrimp dumplings!"

"Eh... you're really disgusting, but what the boss did is really abominable. The old man and woman in front should buy less. Let them know that we are not to be trifled with."

"Good boy, I can sense your little tricks even if I'm ten people away. But I think you're right. Uncles and aunties, please be gentle. I didn't get any yesterday, so I came early today on purpose."

Xu Youyou has a new understanding of the purchasing power of the elderly.

If you buy buns for yourself, you can buy about 10 at most, but the old man and woman can carry or buns by themselves!
How many buns are there in total? One old man or woman can buy forty buns, so a few dozen old men and women can buy all the buns the boss has.

I haven’t eaten delicious buns for two days!
I didn't get to eat the food sold by the boss, so I went to the door to buy some buns. It's really true that people will die if you compare them, and goods will be thrown away if you compare them.

It used to taste pretty good, but now it has a lot of flaws.

The noodles were not soft enough, the filling was too salty, the meat was too dry, there was no gravy, the chili was not fragrant enough, in short, there were a lot of problems.

Xu Youyou put her hands to her mouth in a trumpet shape: "Uncles and aunts, please be gentle, we want to eat buns too!"
