Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 279 - 280: Professor Liu Appears

"10 steamed buns with meat filling and 10 potstickers."

"Five of each with the same filling. Boss, what’s that hanging there?"

Yang Wei pointed at the things hanging inside Wang Fan’s kitchen and couldn’t help asking curiously.

Wang Fan had already taken the pork out of the steam oven this morning; it’s been air-dried and if left any longer will become cured meat.

Wang Fan chuckled and said, "It’s a dish for lunch, Guangfu crispy roast pork, something to look forward to."

Yang Wei nodded, "Is it like that crispy roast pork that’s been popular lately outside?"

Wang Fan knew what he meant; he tried a piece yesterday while shopping, and honestly, it wasn’t great.

Not to mention the uneven roasting with patches of yellow and black making it unappetizing, the meat lacked flavor and relied heavily on the dipping sauce, with a texture hard as a brick, completely lacking any crispy feel.

Wang Fan decisively shook his head, "Can’t compare at all, mine is much tastier, you’ll see at lunch."

Yang Wei chuckled, "I’m not saying I don’t trust you, just reminding you that if the feedback isn’t good, you should switch back to the potstickers and steamed buns for lunch and dinner."

Wang Fan laughed along, "If you can tell me it’s not good after eating mine, I’ll switch back."

Yang Wei walked off with his plate; if the boss is that confident, he must have some real skills, and going without steamed buns and potstickers isn’t a problem; eating the same thing all the time can lead to aesthetic fatigue.

After all, as a diner, it’s always a win!

Wang Fan’s meats hanging in the kitchen are clearly visible, so almost every student can see them, and this is Wang Fan’s deliberate intention.

If you don’t display the goods, who knows whether these top students will stubbornly refuse to give it a try?

Though the marinated meat isn’t as visually appealing as the finished product, it can at least lure these students to come see the finished product at lunch, and once they see it, Wang Fan doesn’t believe they can resist buying a taste.

Even Ninja Turtles couldn’t be that resistant, just that confident!

...

A classroom, during the break.

"The steamed buns are changing to something else at noon; saw a lot of pork hanging in the morning, want to go try it?"

"Definitely going, no matter what it tastes like, we’ll just give him a triple denial to make him retreat, couldn’t even snag any buns when I went at 7 this morning."

Shen Cong said with some anticipation, "You guys go ahead and eat, the boss’s skills are definitely up there; you didn’t see that Eight Treasures Tofu and rib-bean noodles he made the other day, so fragrant, he’s definitely got the skills."

"Alright, let’s go right after class, but it shouldn’t be too rushed today, right? I don’t think there’ll be more buying than steamed buns."

"On the first day we can’t be careless, I think there’ll be a lot of curious people, quicker is better."

Another classroom.

"Qianqian, the boss is starting to make other things, we’ll just go buy with everyone, won’t have any private meals."

Li Jing, Jiang Chenchen, and Zhang Ya don’t like taking advantage of people, previously it had to be done, but now he’s selling something else, and they won’t take advantage.

Zhuo Qianqian nodded, "Alright, if you want to eat something else you can go, don’t have to worry about his business."

Then the lecturer for the next class, Professor Liu, walked over.

Professor Liu looks just over forty, normally her expression is quite stern, and students are somewhat afraid of her.

Jiang Chenchen and the three others saw her coming and became a bit restrained.

"What are you guys chatting about?"

Zhuo Qianqian chuckled, "Hello Professor Liu, we’re talking about what to eat for lunch."

Professor Liu’s usually calm face broke into a smile upon seeing Zhuo Qianqian, she likes this student very much and has already reserved her as a graduate student.

"Why not come to the staff restaurant with me? There’s a pretty good Western food place."

To attract this student, Professor Liu researched the school canteens because she knows Zhuo Qianqian enjoys good food.

Zhuo Qianqian shook her head, "If you don’t have other plans, join us at the second cafeteria? Today should be Guangfu crispy roast pork, it’ll definitely be tasty, something you’ve probably never had before."

Jiang Chenchen and the others couldn’t stop mentally giving Zhuo Qianqian thumbs up, she’s really bold and impressive, inviting the feared Professor Liu, who everyone is scared of failing under, to a meal and even daring to counter her words!

Professor Liu couldn’t help laughing; this student has the boldest spirit in her teaching career.

She even dared to threaten her a while back to help with a leave request.

But geniuses deserve some privileges, and this little girl is indeed very likeable.

With Jiang Chenchen and the others observing with shock, the usually strict Professor Liu actually smiled and said, "Alright then, I’ll accept your invitation and join you at the second cafeteria for lunch."

Everyone is a little curious and has some anticipation about what Wang Fan will make for lunch, wondering what a steamed bun specialist will create in Guangfu cuisine.

Wang Fan had already put the air-dried meat on the counter.

He wrapped large pork belly pieces evenly in aluminum foil, folded the toothpick, and inserted it through the foil into the meat to hold it, then pierced small holes in the bottom of the foil with a knife tip for oil drainage and popped them into the oven.

Repeat the process, and ten pieces went into the oven, the rest wrapped in foil as well.

Time passed minute by minute, and the aroma from the oven began to intensify, soon wafting throughout the cafeteria.

Li Qiang is the head chef at window 6, mainly selling Xiangxi dishes.

Honestly, he was quite jealous of the newcomer at window 5 initially, but his own business improved due to association, so he felt grateful rather than envious.

Though they don’t usually interact much, expressing gratitude seems awkward.

While preparing his ingredients, an extremely strong aroma wafted by.

The previous potstickers and buns were aromatic, but more of a dough scent; today he knew there was a lot of pork hanging but wasn’t sure what’s being cooked.

"What on earth is he making that smells so good?"

Li Qiang’s wife, Shen Yan, sniffed intensely and curiously asked.

Li Qiang replied, "Smells like roast meat, but no idea what’s making it that aromatic."

Shen Yan’s nose twitched more rapidly; she couldn’t help it, the aroma was too enticing, an irresistible scent.

"Honey, since we’ve benefited so much from them, shouldn’t we buy something from them to support their business?"

Li Qiang raised a thumb, "Great idea, honey! I’ll go ask now!"

He put down the half-washed veggies and walked straight out of the kitchen.
