Liu Lu and his family of three descended from Fengqi Mountain.
The whole family was dressed in hiking gear. Liu Lu carried a backpack and held a walking stick, looking quite professional.
"This city is quite fun, and the sunrise on the mountain is also quite spectacular."
"I was checking the travel guide a few days ago. There’s a tourist resort here, and a food stall on its snack street is particularly popular. Lots of people line up there early in the morning."
"Everyone queues up for the braised at, and it’s so popular that it’s hard to get."
"I’ve heard the braised at tastes especially good."
"Tomorrow morning, let’s go to that snack street, line up, and try so for ourselves," Liu Lu said to his wife and daughter.
Hearing Liu Lu’s words, his daughter Liu Chenxi imdiately said, "Dad, you’re behind on the news. I’ve been watching local videos, and that braised at stall isn’t there anymore."
"Lots of people have posted videos looking for it!"
"Even if you want to try it, there’s no way!"
"Ah? It’s gone?" Liu Lu was sowhat surprised.
"I’ve read such good reviews online that I wanted to try that braised at."
"That’s a sha."
Liu Chenxi nodded. "Yes, you have to check the date on those online videos; so are several days old!"
"It’s unclear where that stall is now, so we probably won’t get to try it."
"Actually, when I saw that video, I really wanted to go and eat there too."
As the two of them chatted, Liu Lu’s wife said breathlessly, "There’s a square over there; let’s rest for a bit."
"I can’t believe you two! There’s a cable car, and you insist on walking down."
"Next ti you two go on these outings, leave out of it. I’ll wait for you at the hotel!"
The father and daughter had good Staminia and both enjoyed adventures, but Liu Lu’s wife did not have the Staminia for it and suffered a great deal following them.
"Alright!"
The three of them headed towards the small square.
As they approached, they saw a food truck parked not far away, with a few custors already eating at small tables.
"There’s a stall over there; looks like it’s selling breakfast!" Liu Lu pointed ahead and said.
"Hurry and buy sothing, I’m starving! I need sothing warm!" Liu Lu’s wife exclaid, as if she had seen a savior, and imdiately walked forward.
At that mont, Liu Chenxi looked at the distant food truck and felt it seed familiar.
Why does that food truck look so familiar?
Do all the mobile food trucks in this city have a standard look?
Liu Lu strode briskly up to Jiang Feng’s food truck.
Currently, almost all custors were buying buns and corn pumpkin porridge, as they were convenient to eat.
No one had ordered the egg fried rice yet.
"Boss, give six buns," Liu Lu glanced at the nu and said directly.
"Alright."
Jiang Feng took a large paper bag, opened the stear, quickly grabbed six large at buns with tongs, placed them in the paper bag, and handed it to Liu Lu.
Liu Lu paid by scanning a code, took the buns, and walked away without taking a closer look at the food truck.
His wife and daughter rested on a bench. Liu Lu ca over and casually ntioned, "They sell buns, porridge, and egg fried rice."
He described it very simply.
Actually, the buns were thin-skinned with a large, soy-sauce at filling. The porridge was a carefully concocted sweet corn pumpkin porridge, and the egg fried rice was freshly made, golden, and fragrant.
But it was just a small stall, after all. Who would have thought it would have such high standards?
"Dad, do you recognize that food truck?" Liu Chenxi pointed at the food truck and said.
"Recognize it?"
Liu Lu turned to look at the food truck.
It was a cartoonish minibus, resembling a scaled-down public bus. A sign stood in front, and a handso young man in chef’s attire was inside.
"It does seem a bit familiar," Liu Lu nodded, indeed feeling a sense of familiarity.
"I thought about it for a long ti and finally realized—isn’t that the sa food truck that sold braised at on the snack street?"
Liu Chenxi took a bun from the paper bag.
The freshly removed bun was still a bit hot, so Liu Chenxi held it and blew on it several tis.
Liu Lu looked towards the food truck, suddenly enlightened. "It really is. Maybe this type of food truck is popular around here since it can also be driven as an electric vehicle and cos with a built-in gas stove. That’s probably why all the small stalls buy this model."
They didn’t give it much more thought.
Liu Chenxi felt the bun had cooled down enough and took a bite.
Instantly, the unique aroma of the soy-sauce at filling’s juices spread through her mouth. The at was still a little hot, causing Liu Chenxi to hold the bun in her mouth and exhale sharply twice.
She chewed gently a couple of tis.
The bun itself carried the natural fragrance of flour, with even a hint of wheat aroma.
The perfectly fernted dough, after repeated kneading, beca resilient, soft, and springy.
Once stead, it was full of an irresistible aroma.
Hmm?
Liu Chenxi’s eyes widened slightly, a look of amazent dawning in them.
"This is really tasty!" she exclaid in amazent.
The at filling in the soy-sauce pork bun was rich in flavor, without the slightest greasiness—only the pure fragrance of at.
The at filling clung tightly to the bun’s skin. Looking at the opening where she had bitten, one could see the evenly colored, soy-sauce-infused at, glistening with juices.
Scattered green onions dotted the at filling, adding a nice touch.
It looked appealing too.
Liu Chenxi grasped the bun and began to devour it.
Liu Lu, standing beside her, was also amazed by the bun’s flavor.
"So fragrant!"
"Is this place a hidden culinary gem? Why has no one ever ntioned it before!"
All three found the buns delicious. Being hungry, they didn’t bother talking and imdiately started gobbling them up.
Soon, all six buns were devoured.
Liu Lu’s wife usually had a small appetite, but this ti she finished her share swiftly, without pausing.
Liu Lu took mineral water from his bag, and the three of them had a drink.
"This tastes way too good! Let’s go buy so more!" Liu Lu declared, still wanting more.
"Don’t they also sell porridge? Let’s get a bowl; it’s warm too!" Liu Lu’s wife suggested.
"Good idea."
The trio stood up and walked towards Jiang Feng’s food truck.
At that mont, several patrons were sitting at a small nearby table, heaping praise on the food Jiang Feng had made.
"Boss, your cooking skills are impressive!" soone shouted to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng responded with a smile.
The three approached the stall. Liu Lu looked at the counter and said to Jiang Feng, "Boss, can I have three bowls of corn and pumpkin porridge, three at buns, and three tea eggs?"
Liu Chenxi, anwhile, tilted her head up, her gaze fixed intently on Jiang Feng’s face.
At first glance, the guy running the stall is rather handso.
At second glance, he seems sowhat familiar.
At third glance... holy cow! Isn’t that the sa guy who sold braised at?
A look of shock flashed in Liu Chenxi’s eyes as she exclaid, "Oh my god, it’s you!"
"It really is you!"
Hearing her, her parents both looked at her.
"You know him?"
Liu Chenxi, slightly excited, said, "He’s the braised at vendor from the snack street at the resort—the one that went viral online a few days ago! We saw him when we were looking for local food!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lu was also surprised.
When he watched the videos online, he’d only seen the long queues and the stall’s sign, never paying attention to the vendor.
Everyone focuses on different things.
Liu Lu was more concerned about the food and the event, while Liu Chenxi was more interested in what the stall owner looked like, especially since people said he was handso.
"Is it really him?"
"Isn’t this a breakfast stall selling buns?" Liu Lu asked curiously.
Their conversation was overheard by nearby custors, who turned their heads and craned their necks to get a good look at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng hadn’t expected to be recognized by out-of-town tourists.
This is a bit much. No, actually, it’s quite unbelievable.
"Boss, were you the one selling braised at at the resort a few days ago?" Liu Lu imdiately inquired.
Hearing the question, Jiang Feng nodded. "Yes, last week I was selling braised at."
"Why are you selling buns now?" Liu Lu asked, his curiosity piqued.
"I like the mountains; I ca to enjoy the scenery."
Liu Lu was speechless.
