Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 199 - 200: Holy Crap, Glowing Cuisine and Built-In BGM!

Wang Fan scrubbed the pig stomach.

The most important thing in making soup is fresh ingredients, and the next is cleanliness. If you don't wash it well, you'll end up with a rank odor. What kind of soup is that to drink?

Just from his meticulous attention in cleaning the ingredients, all the diners were deeply impressed.

"My goodness, no wonder Boss Wang's dishes are so delicious. Just his way of cleaning the ingredients takes more patience than I have when I touch my girlfriend."

"You're going around in circles and rolling all over my face; can you be a bit more refined with your words?"

"Heh heh, I'm just making a comparison. But honestly, it's almost true. If this pig stomach gets handled by Boss Wang, it can be considered worth it for a lifetime."

"Why do I sense a thick feeling of envy from your words? Do you also want Boss Wang to scrub you like that?"

"Get lost!"

After handling part of the pig stomach, Wang Fan began processing the small chickens.

They were all free-range local chickens, freshly slaughtered before being sent here.

The chickens were already quite clean. Wang Fan just simply trimmed the chicken claws and wing tips, then scraped off the fat inside the chicken belly, and that was it.

Chicken stuffed in a pig belly, which is largely popular in the Guangfu region, is part of Hakka Cuisine, a must-have pre-meal soup at banquets in the Guangfu Hakka area. The soup is rich yet clear, with a strong herbal and peppery flavor. Initially, it was a dish Hakka women ate during confinement.

However, Rizhao actually has this dish too, and it is said to have a history of over 600 years.

Unlike other secret recipes passed from male to male, the Two Cities' pig belly chicken is passed from female to female.

According to local elders, the ancestors hoped that daughters would use this recipe to be filial to their elders and teach their children after marriage, thereby ensuring the family's health and lasting prosperity.

Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong, upon tasting the Two Cities pig belly chicken at the Two Cities Mountain Palace, happily inscribed, "First-class pig belly chicken, no desire to go Jiangnan."

To this day, residents around Two Cities still take pride in this.

When pig belly chicken appears at the banquet, there is always a story to tell. When the guests get tipsy, the whole table even shouts in unison, "First-class pig belly chicken, no desire to go Jiangnan. Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!"

Wang Fan picked up the prepared chicken, stuffed the pre-sorted spices into the chicken's belly according to the ratio, and then stuffed the chicken into the pig's belly, reminiscent of nesting dolls.

He sealed the pig's belly with a hemp rope and gave it a hot water bath to remove any odor.

Then he placed it into the casserole on the stove, poured in yellow wine, eucommia, seahorse, codonopsis, and other stewing spices, added boiling water, and began to simmer it slowly.

He repeated the process and quickly had 20 casseroles simmering, which was the limit of his stove, arranged in two staggered rows.

After just over ten minutes, the pig belly chicken began to show its magic, and a rich aroma started wafting in all directions. The people on the street were enchanted by this fragrance, not to mention those inside the shop who were directly hit by the aromatic wave.

"Wow, I feel like a wave of fragrance just slapped me in the face!"

"Goodness, it's only been simmering for ten minutes, and it's already so fragrant. If it simmers for an hour and a half, won't we all be in a fragrant daze?"

"Honestly, this aroma is no worse than matsutake soup."

"Every time I open my mouth, I feel like someone is throwing a fragrant bomb in there, I can't hold it family!"

"Glug, glug, glug..."

The casserole kept making glugging sounds, as if each sound emitted a wisp of fragrance. Wang Fan occasionally sniffed the air, observing the changes in aroma from each casserole.

No one noticed that the crowd at the shop's entrance was growing larger and larger.

The people inside the store began to fall into silence, even those standing at the doorway didn't say a word. Everyone was quietly waiting for the pig belly chicken to mature.

But that particular inhalation to the limit followed by holding their breath for a while was truly a test of lung capacity.

Wang Fan began the countdown in his heart, feeling that the first casserole was ready for the next step.

He placed a towel on the handle of the casserole, and everyone's eyes were drawn to him, watching the casserole intently.

Some people even quietly took out their phones to start taking pictures or recording videos.

5.4.3.2...

1!

"Woosh."

Wang Fan gently lifted the lid, and the essence of fragrance accumulated over an hour exploded instantly.

The rich aroma spread quickly through the space like a warm breeze, drawing everyone's attention tightly as if by an invisible thread.

At this moment, a burst of exciting background music suddenly played, drawing everyone's memories back to the culinary animations, Little Master Chef of China.

"What the heck? Golden Legend?"

"Wow, glowing cuisine, right?"

"Sure enough, top-tier cuisine is served with its BGM?"

Wang Fan gave Zhuo Qianqian a speechless glance.

No freaking BGM! It's just Zhuo Qianqian adding sound effects.

Zhuo Qianqian chuckled, "Since we're at this point, it just feels a bit off without some sound effects. Next time, I'll try to set up some lights to create glowing cuisine!"

The diners burst into laughter at Zhuo Qianqian's comment: "So it was a self-made sound effect, I almost really thought the food could come with its BGM."

"Honestly, I really imagined the scene of golden sparkles just now."

"Hahaha, that's just in your mind, it can't happen in reality."

"True, that's too cartoonish."

Wang Fan shook his head helplessly, having no way to deal with this young employee, so he decided to ignore her.

He took out a skimmer to lift the chicken from the casserole, placing it on the chopping board.

Wang Fan's next move left quite a few people stunned.

He lightly slashed the pig's stomach with his thick chef's knife, and a bright golden gleam suddenly appeared!

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"And you said there's no Golden Legend??"

"What the heck is this? Have I crossed into an anime world?!"

It's no wonder they were so astonished, as Wang Fan's gentle cut was truly breathtaking.

His knife lightly grazed the pig's stomach, and the previously bloated stomach opened up like a balloon into a slit.

Through the slit, a brilliant golden line was clearly visible!

The golden line, initially just a trace, expanded into a golden surface as the pig's stomach opened.

Amidst the dense mist, it looked dazzling.

"Oh my, Little Master Chef of China wasn't lying! There's actually glowing cuisine!"

"Awesome!"

"666, I can only say 666!"

"Boss, quickly serve the food, I can't wait to taste the glowing cuisine!"

Wang Fan hadn't expected that after stewing the chicken inside the pig's stomach, the color could turn so golden, quite like the Golden Legend sensation.

And as the pig's stomach was cut open, the chicken flavor that had been locked inside exploded, perfectly mingling with the prior aroma, turning the entire restaurant into a sea of deliciousness!
