Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country

Chapter 634 - 587: The Panda-Powered Buff

Since the establishment of the Panda Base, there have been many top celebrities, and the most recent are undoubtedly the sisters Hua and Ye.

Their venue is often surrounded so tightly that viewing times have to be limited, but even so, it doesn’t dampen people’s enthusiasm for Hua Hua.

But no one expected that a human could steal the spotlight from these black-and-white balls at the Panda Base!

Wang Fan, a food stall that just opened here less than an hour ago, had a queue of diners larger than the Flower Bureau!

Even the people in the park found it unbelievable.

"Is he really that famous?"

"People who find queuing for the Flower Bureau bothersome don’t mind queuing for him?"

"If he were selling hotpot skewers or Bobo chicken, it would be understandable. But just for a plate of Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce, is it really worth such a persistent queue?"

One big question after another lingered in the minds, prompting many staff members to sneak over during their breaks to find out.

But sometimes, you really shouldn’t check out the excitement, because once you do, you might get drawn in.

There are already many diners eating on the spot around the RV, squatting Asian-style for lack of seats, placing their food on the ground to start eating.

Some are even more efficient, standing and eating directly, just putting food into their mouths with their hands, not even bothering with chopsticks.

When many take their first bite, they hesitate and look up and down, but once that first bite is swallowed, their eating manners become quite unseemly.

Hey, your chili oil is dripping from your mouth to your chin! Aren’t you going to wipe it?!

The diners, lost in savoring the food with their eyes closed, completely ignore the chili oil dripping from their mouths to their chins, while the incredibly tasty chicken explodes like a flavor bomb in their mouths.

It’s said that cats can only do one thing at a time; when they are eating, you can mess with them however you like, and their little brains can’t react to resist. These diners were in a similar state, totally immersed in the world of food, oblivious to everything happening around them.

Huang Yufeng felt both pain and joy at this moment.

Joy, of course, because he ate incredibly delicious authentic Steamed Chicken, but pain because the best Steamed Chicken he ever tasted in his life was actually made by a northerner traveling in Sichuan!

It felt like being backstabbed by his hometown’s cuisine.

There are literally thousands of restaurants making Steamed Chicken in Guangfu, with decade-long establishments everywhere.

Those who have spent their lives perfecting just one main dish should have already mastered their craft, but!

The best Steamed Chicken was not eaten in Guangfu!

At this moment, Huang Yufeng finally understood why people from Lu Dong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang were so vulnerable some time ago.

Who could stand this kind of thing!

The only consolation now is that everyone else is eating Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce, and only he is eating Steamed Chicken.

However, one has to admit the fame—unless you personally taste Boss Wang’s delicacies, you really can’t understand how conservative those online comments are.

Huang Yufeng believes that a delicious Steamed Chicken must meet three criteria—smooth skin, tender meat, and sweet bones.

Boss Wang’s Steamed Chicken not only perfectly fulfills these three points but also adds a special touch—ginger paste dipping sauce.

As the palate of his generation gets pickier, many restaurateurs offer a variety of dipping sauces to attract customers, including some he would categorize as bizarre concoctions.

But no matter who comes, the best dipping sauce for Steamed Chicken will always be ginger paste.

In theory, there shouldn’t be anything new about this dipping sauce, as everyone uses the same seasonings, yet Boss Wang’s dipping sauce has a noticeably superior flavor.

It’s not just that his sauce tastes better than others, on its own it might just seem a bit fresher and sweeter, but once you pair it with his Steamed Chicken, oh man, it’s like combining the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber, undefeatable across the land.

Wang Fan felt like he was currently a heartless chicken-chopping machine. He was also greatly relieved to have chosen Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce today.

Compared to other stir-fried dishes, this one surely saves much more trouble.

The chicken he used is Qingyuan Chicken, at 15 yuan per jin, each one weighing about 2 jin. Adding other seasonings and utility expenses, he made about 20 yuan per chicken, and with the boost from the system’s tools, it could reach about 30 yuan.

He prepared a total of 200 chickens, which when all sold equaled a profit of about 6,000 yuan, deducting the 3,000 yuan rent leaving a 3,000 yuan profit, and moving forward, it’s basically pure profit.

But after selling these 200 chickens, he decisively closed the stall.

"Thank you all for your support and love, those of you still in line please stop queuing, there are only 10 left, and today’s stall is now closing. Until we meet again on this journey."

As soon as Wang Fan said this, the place turned into a scene of lamentation.

"Boss Wang, no! Just 100 more people in front and it’s my turn, can’t you hold on just a bit longer?"

"Boss Wang, can you sell by half portions? There are just 10 people ahead of me, and you’re making me want to explode with rage."

"I’ve been in line all afternoon, just about to taste victory, and now you’re telling me you’re shutting down?!"

Wang Fan quickly responded, "There’s nothing I can do, I only bought 200 chickens, and they’re almost all sold. Besides, I came with my girlfriend to see the pandas today; if I keep selling, the park will close, and our trip will be in vain."
