Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 378 - 379: The Ultimate Pursuit of Travel
Thinking of his roommate’s regrets, Principal Qi quietly took out his phone.
He took photos of the green peppers stuffed with shrimp on his plate from various angles, and then took a selfie with the plate.
Then he quietly put away his phone, planning to send it to his pal at midnight to make up for his regrets, along with a message: "Those two apprentices are definitely bragging."
Feng Haoyu and Li Wei weren’t just boasting; they really believed it.
But the comparison was with Wang Fan’s culinary skills at Taishan Peak. If Wang Fan showed his skills now, they wouldn’t dare claim they could surpass even 50%.
The gap between talent and genius is inherently vast. Wang Fan has been continuously learning, experimenting, and evolving during this time, and his current skill can only be described as unfathomable.
Even though Mr. Zhuo and Mrs. Zhuo have had several meals prepared by Wang Fan, they are still always amazed by new dishes.
No one could criticize anyone’s eating manner; each one was as unbecoming as the next.
All three of them are like this, not to mention the children and the elderly.
The people of Great Border can handle spicy food quite well; although the elderly and children might be less tolerant, Wang Fan only uses mildly spicy peppers, which are within an acceptable range.
However, once the deliciousness hit their palate, it really surpassed the range of their taste bud acceptance, thrusting them into deep self-doubt yet again.
Because this taste is simply impossible to associate with the dishes they just made or are still making.
Tuomuer felt like he had taken a test out of ten points, thought he scored an 8 at best, but when the teacher handed back the test, he discovered he scored 100.
Absolutely unbeatable!
Tuomuer felt his tongue had already achieved value in this lifetime. If he could create the same taste, his life would be fulfilled.
"I must learn diligently from Teacher Wang; I absolutely must learn how to cook these dishes!"
Tuomuer swore silently to himself.
Wang Fan had already started preparing shrimp in other flavors.
Garlic Prawns was a new dish, yet oily shrimp, boiled shrimp, and prawns with cabbage were still in high demand, some tried them yesterday but couldn’t get enough, while others were new customers today.
The main seasoning for Garlic Prawns is garlic puree, so when the garlic is well-prepared, the dish is half-successful.
Wang Fan had already perfected the preparation of garlic puree back at Taishan and could now do it effortlessly.
Garlic can be a key ingredient in enhancing the fragrance of many dishes because it truly possesses a level unmatched by other ingredients.
Just a whiff of that rich garlic aroma could instantly activate the taste buds of countless people.
Most importantly, the number of diners continues to increase.
This made the town’s leader, Adili, exceptionally excited.
Aksu has tourist attractions too, but generally, they aren’t connected to this small town; people usually visit places with similar scenery in Great Border, and once they’ve been to one, they see no need to go to another.
This town has no fame and seldom sees tourists, but now things are different; tourists head straight here, and the town’s reputation should rise.
Most importantly, it might solve poverty for some people, which is the primary concern.
Once people taste the local delicacies and help promote it, they can truly establish a path to fame built on their signature beef balls.
And the town won’t just wait for it to happen. The publicity team is already gearing up, waiting for the children to master beef ball preparation and then launch a big promotional campaign.
Teaching a person to fish is better than giving them fish; Mr. Wang has already taught the fishing skills, and now it’s the town’s test of capability.
Originally, Adili wanted to thank Wang Fan on behalf of the town, but seeing how busy he was, he decided against adding to the chaos.
However, he wondered if Mr. Wang might have other expertise in pilaf or barbecue?
If the local specialties could be improved, it would be fantastic news for the town.
"Hehe..."
Adili shook his head, realizing he was being too greedy.
Despite each round having dozens of diners queuing up, this Mr. Wang remained orderly, not showing even a trace of fatigue. What an environment forged this talent?
Looking at the tourists attracted by the aromas with satisfaction once again, Adili got into the car and headed to the town to report the true situation here.
...
Wang Fan can now skillfully manage these large pots and various dishes; cooking for dozens of people is child’s play to him now. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
After all, his trip to Meizhou has brought immense growth to him.
Whenever he thinks of Meizhou, Wang Fan is both amused and gratified. He didn’t expect the memorial park to be built so quickly, nor did he expect the disaster-stricken villagers to adore his little wooden fish so much.
Since the day before yesterday, the little wooden fish has been generating continuous revenue, nearly non-stop 24 hours a day!
Placed in the park, earning money 24 hours a day is unimaginable!
Even tapping it slowly at 20 times per minute, with each tap earning 5 cents, that would bring 1 yuan of income per minute, translating to 1440 yuan a day and over 40,000 a month.
Now that he can earn money, he cares less about it than before, intending to donate this income anonymously as charity at the first opportunity.
No choice, having money makes one headstrong, that’s just how audacious he is!
Aksu’s daytime temperature can reach up to 35 degrees. The big sun makes it incredibly hot, but Mr. Zhuo managed to set up a parasol for Wang Fan, placed a large fan behind him, and provided a huge ice block used for ice shavings that melts slowly, keeping the place very cool.
The kids in the backyard are in even better conditions, staying cool too.
As for the tourists, it’s even more convenient; the lush vegetation around the farm is complemented by an open grassland and stream near the entrance. Tent awnings are set up along the riverbank for enjoying both food and leisure, often feeling better than staying at home.
And there are many greenhouses around here with various fruits and vegetables, selling cheap and directly harvested from the trees and fields, freshness is guaranteed.
Good mountains, clean waters, good food, beautiful scenery, blue skies, white clouds, whispering wind over the grass, seeing cattle and sheep — this is the ultimate pursuit for travel, paired with superb value for money, a dream come true for a perfect getaway.
