Chapter 514: Chapter 413: Joint Stall Operation! (Part 2)

Uncle Pancake and Brother Milk Tea nodded simultaneously.

"I see your skills would be a waste if you don’t set up a stall."

"That’s perfect! Then we can work together to make milk tea pancakes!"

Seeing the two of them weren’t displeased, Chen Mo felt relieved and said, "I think milk tea pancakes are a pretty good item, but I’m unfamiliar with the area here. I have a suggestion, you two take a look..."

Chen Mo’s idea was for Brother Milk Tea to provide the ingredients for making milk tea pancakes, and Uncle Pancake would be in charge of preparing the batter.

Then the three of them would set up the stall together, so Chen Mo could make milk tea pancakes, and if customers didn’t want them, they could still go for the original pancakes or even get a cup of milk tea, saving themselves from choking.

It turns out to be mutually beneficial.

As for the profit distribution of milk tea pancakes, it would still be as previously agreed. Chen Mo would earn some hard work fees, while the two of them could make a small profit apart from the cost of materials.

This way, they wouldn’t miss out on setting up a stall and could increase their income. There’s no reason not to do it.

The two immediately agreed and arranged a time to set up the stall on this street again tomorrow!

After they parted, Chen Mo returned to the parking lot.

"I didn’t expect to find such a suitable item on the first day, milk tea pancakes... Tsk tsk, I was really limiting my thinking before."

Previously, Chen Mo thought that innovating street food would definitely mean creating something new from scratch; he never considered blending different flavors from across the strait to create a entirely new-flavored snack.

"I only need to make five kinds of snacks, and each needs to reach 50,000 yuan in revenue. Milk tea pancakes count as one, so the task is fairly simple with fusion."

Chen Mo made a meal for himself and then immediately returned to his bedroom to relax his mind, imagining various types of foods that could be fused.

...

After work, Chen Kexin, as usual, took a shower and then snuggled on the couch with her phone, which was her favorite time.

Granny didn’t come back until after ten o’clock in the evening.

She used to come back even later; in recent years, Granny’s health wasn’t as good as before, so she packed up a bit earlier.

"Ah Xin, time for noodles! Come and see what Granny got for you today."

Chen Kexin jumped off the sofa upon seeing Granny holding a small package, "Pearl milk tea!"

"Quick, eat up."

Chen Kexin took today’s remaining portion of danzi noodles and pearl milk tea, sniffed it, and then cheerfully sat at the table to eat.

Granny’s danzi noodles, after all these years, even eating a bowl every day won’t make you tired of them.

This is mainly because Granny’s oil noodles are quite different from other vendors’. Now in the market, especially in Tainan, there are factories specifically processing oil noodles.

Many vendors regularly go to the factory at set times to pick up the day’s oil noodles to sell, but Chen Kexin’s Granny is different; she makes them all by hand.

Every day, she must first mix the flour with alkaline water, and it’s cold water, letting it sit for a while before rolling out the dough and cutting it into thin strips.

Finally, she needs to boil them, rinse with cold water, and while they’re hot, mix with vegetable oil.

The noodles made on the day must be eaten that day; leftover ones can only be consumed at home or discarded, since they’re cooked food, and overnight would certainly affect the taste.

Handmade noodles are much tastier than machine-made ones, no need to elaborate, just try it once and you can tell.

This kind of decade-long persistence is what has made Granny’s danzi noodles increasingly famous in the night market; many people travel a long way just to have a bite of the noodles.

Chen Kexin quickly finished the bowl of danzi noodles and happily patted her belly after eating the fresh shrimp, "I’m full!"

Granny looked at her indulgently, "I’ll go wash the dishes."

Chen Kexin took the milk tea and was just about to drink when she stopped, staring at the black sugar pearls soaking in the milk tea in contemplation.

"Why can milk tea pancakes taste so good too? Milk tea and pancakes together, is that logical?"

In a moment of impulse, not knowing what force drove Chen Kexin, she took the cup of milk tea to the kitchen.

She first poured the milk tea into a water cup, leaving the black sugar pearls in the milk tea cup, and then found a frozen scallion pancake in the refrigerator.

"So wrapping the black sugar pearls with a scallion pancake, the taste should be similar..."

Chen Kexin placed the scallion pancake in the frying pan on low heat, and when the bottom turned golden brown, she flipped it over and spread all the black sugar pearls over it.

"Oh right, and cheese egg!"

She found an egg to beat onto it, then covered it with two slices of cheese. The home materials were limited, but thinking that although she lacked a few ingredients, it’s still pancake and pearls, it wouldn’t be too far off.

After a while, Granny came back from washing the dishes and curiously slowly walked into the kitchen upon seeing Chen Kexin tinkering with something.

When she saw the items in the frying pan.

"Tsk..."

Granny felt an electric current skimming across her scalp, numb, "Ah Xin, you..."

Scallion pancake wrapped with cheese, egg, and black sugar pearls?

Is my granddaughter’s brain okay?

"This is super delicious!" Chen Kexin rolled up the scallion pancake and immediately fed it to Granny, "Try it, come on! I had it on the street today; it’s super tasty!"

Granny skeptically took a bite.

And chew. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Ugh..."

The crispy scallion pancake seemed to deceive her into chewing, and after two bites, the black sugar pearls and cheese egg mixed inside, its gooey texture combined with that peculiar taste.

Neither sweet nor salty, but just very...

"You really! Why make these strange things, it’s not tasty, such a waste of food."

Chen Kexin stuck out her tongue, feeling like Granny was fooling her.

She then secretly took a bite too.

"Ugh..."

She was slightly dumbfounded by the pancake in her hand, how could just missing some sauce and basil suddenly make it so unpalatable?

Not exactly unpleasant, but the texture and flavor perfectly hit those few spots humans often feel nauseous about.

Feeling a bit speechless, Chen Kexin discarded the pancake; clearly, it was completely ruined. She pondered over whether Brother Milk Tea would set up his stall tomorrow during work, hoping to pass by that street to have another milk tea pancake!

To make enough oil noodles for the night market, Granny usually gets up at four or five in the morning to start mixing the dough.

Today, as usual, she got early, kneaded the dough, let it rest, then cut the noodles, boiled them, and after rinsing with cool water, mixed them with oil.

At the same time.

Lying in his RV, Chen Mo turned over in sleep.

[Top-quality ingredients discovered, top-quality ingredients discovered!]

In his mind initially flashed golden text, Chen Mo tried to ignore it while half-asleep but was soon disturbed by loud mechanical alerts aside from the text.

"Why so annoying... what top-quality ingredients?"

Chen Mo angrily kicked off the blanket, his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling.

Although since setting up stalls his sleep quality has been good, four o’clock is too early, isn’t it?

"What’s this top-quality ingredient?"

[Top-quality ingredients discovered, top-quality deliciousness discovered!]

It was then Chen Mo recalled that upon completing his last task, he had acquired a skill called [Gourmet Instinct]. It’s said to instinctively discover good ingredients or food when nearby.

"So the instinct is actually system alerts?"

"Couldn’t it wait until I’m awake?"

The text in his mind showed no intention of stopping, so Chen Mo grudgingly got up to wash his face, then casually threw on a white shirt.

Yes, today he chose white.

Mainly considering that he had to look for Uncle Pancake and Brother Milk Tea to set up the stall again today, it may result in being chased, wearing a white shirt might help keep pace!

Upon stepping out of his RV, Chen Mo was amazed to spot an arrow ahead.

It was quite like a mobile navigation arrow, as if he was wearing VR glasses, quite intriguing.

Following the arrow slowly forward.

"I must see what exquisite delicacy is worth getting me up so darn early!"
