Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 261 - 262: Snacks, Fried Milk Custard

The fried milk in the oil pan is bubbling differently, and soon, it will become something that makes both kids and adults crave in tears.

"This batter is my special recipe, it will still be crispy even when it cools down. Once it cools a bit, I’ll use a sealer to pack them into small bags, making it convenient to take along."

While speaking, Wang Fan took the first batch of fried milk out of the oil pan and set it aside to cool, then put the second batch in.

Zhuo Qianqian leaned over, just about to reach out and grab some fried milk from the plate, when Wang Fan grabbed her hand, "It’s not ready yet, wait a bit if you want to sneak a taste."

"Hehehe..."

Despite having one hand caught, Zhuo Qianqian did not give up on her plan to sneak a taste; you’ve caught one hand, but my other hand is holding a spoon.

Seeing Zhuo Qianqian look like she was about to sneak a piece of fried milk with her other hand, Wang Fan said helplessly, "It’s not the best time to eat it now, you’re going to ruin my reputation!"

"I don’t think so, different stages of doneness have different flavors, look at steak, there are so many degrees of doneness. I think now it’s both crispy and slightly soft, quite nice, hehehe."

The second batch of fried milk was ready. After plating it again, Wang Fan began to wait for the oil temperature to rise, then refried the first batch, making the golden fried milk the final form.

Wang Fan picked one up and broke it open, the golden crust wrapped around the milky white milk inside, making it look very appetizing.

"Crunch..."

Putting it in his mouth, the sound of the crispy crust breaking could be heard immediately, followed by a rich milky flavor quickly filling his mouth.

Wang Fan was very satisfied with the taste. He only added a little salt, butter, and sugar; the taste was not particularly sweet, but the slight salt made the not-so-sweet sweetness linger in the mouth for a long time. The milk inside had a very soft and delicate texture, almost returning to a liquid state.

...

"Haha, I told you she would come back, now each of you owes me a pack of spicy strips."

Watching Zhuo Qianqian push the door open and enter, Jiang Chenchen laughed triumphantly.

Li Jing and Zhang Ya wailed, "How could you come back? Is your boyfriend not a man? Letting go of such a pretty lamb just like that?"

Not waiting for Zhuo Qianqian to speak, Zhang Ya directly moved shyly next to Li Jing, "Boss, carry me."

Li Jing turned around, "Hop on."

"Boss, you’re the best, mwah! Hahaha!"

"Mwah!"

"Mwah!"

Jiang Chenchen, Li Jing, and Zhang Ya huddled together, imitating Zhuo Qianqian with pointing and endless laughter, like three excited huskies.

Zhuo Qianqian was quite angry, this trio actually followed her!

"Alas, the boss gave me some snacks before, saying I should share a bit with you guys, but now it seems your energy levels are so high, you’re definitely not hungry at all, so..."

"Hey! Sis! We’re starving!"

"Zhang Ya, what’s your problem? How can you, a single dog, make fun of Qianqian, the first to get out of singlehood? You’re just jealous! Let’s not lower ourselves to her level, Qian, quickly take out the snacks and share!"

"It was Li Jing who made me do it, I’m innocent, Qian, you know me, I’m as pure as a white lotus flower!"

Almost no girl can resist the temptation of snacks.

Let alone when they’re made by a chef himself, they must taste better than regular snacks. How could you not get them?

The previously noisy trio quieted down, each calling her Sis Qian, helping move chairs and giving shoulder massages, all while not taking their eyes off the bag in Zhuo Qianqian’s hand.

Zhuo Qianqian opened the bag, took out small bags to share with her roommates, and Li Jing snatched a bag and dashed to the bed.

Jiang Chenchen and Zhang Ya realized a beat later and launched an attack on Li Jing’s bed.

"Bastard trying to hog the food, intolerable! Come out and take my Black Tiger Steals the Heart move!"

"Watch my Monkey Steals Peach move!"

Ignoring the trio’s antics, Zhuo Qianqian went to wash up, then climbed into bed and soon drifted into dreamland.

She had something important to do the next day!

The next day.

The sun was bright.

Professor Fu looked at the pretty young lady in front of him, eyes filled with joy and affection.

"Ah, you little girl finally decided to come back? You’ve missed about three or four of my classes, right?"

Zhuo Qianqian chuckled, "Ran off to chase a boyfriend, hehe..."

Professor Fu was quite surprised, "Whoa, which lucky guy managed to make you chase him? You need to show him to me sometime, by the way, what brings you to me today?"

Zhuo Qianqian raised the bag in her hand, "A new vendor in the canteen sells particularly delicious fried buns. I brought some for you to try."

Professor Fu laughed, "Only you, little girl, would dare bring me food. I haven’t eaten yet, perfect timing; sit and join me."

Zhuo Qianqian took the steamed buns out of the oiled paper bag and placed them on a plate, then opened the vinegar packet and poured it into a dish.

Professor Fu was amazed, "They even provide a plate and dish with the buns? Such generosity?"

Zhuo Qianqian shook her head, "No, they don’t, you need to return them afterward. Try it quickly, if it cools, the juice inside will stick badly. Remember to bite a small hole first to drink the juice."

Professor Fu liked Zhuo Qianqian the more he looked at her, "You are such a likable girl, I’d be so happy if you were my daughter, I’d probably wake up from laughter even in my dreams."

Saying that, he took the chopsticks, picked up a fried bun, and took a bite.

"Delicious, so soft yet crispy, and the filling is so fresh. This is the best fried bun I’ve had in years."

Professor Fu praised the fried bun after just one bite, unable to hold back his compliments.

After finishing one, the hunger in his stomach seemed to be stirred, making him feel particularly ravenous.

The plate had about ten buns, which he quickly polished off.

"So good, where did you buy this? I must go and eat there myself tomorrow."

After finishing the plate of buns and still craving more, Professor Fu had decided to visit the restaurant personally the next day.

Zhuo Qianqian asked, "Professor Fu, how many buns do you think you could eat in one go?"

Professor Fu laughed, "If I were younger, I’d probably eat at least 20, but being older, my appetite isn’t as big, maybe I’d stop at 15."

Zhuo Qianqian responded, "Oh, Teacher Ai has eaten these pan-fried buns three times in a row, each time only managing to eat 5."

"Hmm? Why mention this all of a sudden?"

Professor Fu was a bit puzzled.

Zhuo Qianqian responded earnestly, "No one besides Teacher Ai can stop at just 5 buns. If he doesn’t like them, he wouldn’t eat them for three consecutive days. Eating them for three days in a row but only five each day, I suspect Teacher Ai may have health issues, especially in the stomach; it requires serious attention and examination."
