"The last village, if they don't have it here either, should we take a break first?"
Dunzi wanted to sleep ages ago, "Alright, I'll hang in there a bit longer. If they don't have it here, we'll head back to the city and find a place to rest first."
If it weren't for running into a college student inexplicably riding a bike and circling around every village, Dunzi was confident he could have finished this route in fifteen minutes.
The bright headlights of the Cadillac illuminated the village roads, with Dunzi making turns here and there according to the roads marked on the map.
"No mistake about it, they have a market day here too." On the central road of the village, Dunzi pointed at the various food stalls on both sides, "It's weird though, why do all these villages have markets that are all about snacks, turning the place into a food street?"
LuLu glanced at the live stream, "They're promoting food culture now, what do you know? Besides, whenever a place becomes popular online nowadays, isn't it always through food?"
This is indeed the trend now, like barbecue from Zibo and spicy hot pot from Celestial Water, regardless of the taste, they've all caught the wave.
Of course, Harbin in the winter is an exception.
The locals probably couldn't figure out how in the world bathhouses became the hot thing when the south doesn't even have them, right?
The Cadillac drove slowly past one little food stall after another, most of which were welded together with iron frames with an advertisement paper stuck on the front.
"There's something I don't understand." LuLu looked around and reached a puzzling conclusion, "We're in Yu Province, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Then why is the most common snack they sell Anhui-style noodles?"
Dunzi also looked to either side of the car and found, hey! It really was the case.
Besides the universally common snacks, the most distinctive snack on either side was definitely Anhui-style noodles.
"It is a bit strange, huh!"
When Kai drove into an extremely spacious area, LuLu turned her head and looked over, "Brother Dun!"
Her voice was a bit sharp, "Look over here!"
Dunzi hit the brakes and turned to look. Next to the stage at the Cultural Square was a giant stone drum.
On the side of the stone drum, a big yellow food truck was parked there, boldly emblazoned with: Chen Mo's Food Truck.
Differing from before, there was a new drawing under the writing, a simple sketch of a cat!
This could only be Chen Mo, who else could it be?
"Damn, we really found it!"
"No kidding, we're awesome! Just following some clues, we managed to find Boss Chen across provinces. Damn, damn, damn!" Dunzi was so excited, he almost unroofed the car. "I'll park right next to Boss Xiaochen's. He's going to be thrilled to see us when he gets up!"
LuLu nodded her head, "Absolutely! Let's just stay in the car overnight without going to the city."
The Cadillac and the yellow food truck parked side by side, then turned off the lights, sinking into darkness.
LuLu kept the live stream going.
With the appearance of the yellow food truck, the live stream viewers rose to over 1,400, "Isn't anyone going to sleep?"
The live stream chat was going wild.
"Who can sleep? I've watched four hours of streaming just to see if the streamer was genuinely searching or not, and you really found it!"
"I'm new here, just asking, what's the deal with chasing this yellow food truck across provinces; what's so special about it?"
"This story starts with a hospital...you, my young friend, should first turn on a fan badge, and we'll explain in detail in the fan group."
"Amazing, the streamer is incredible, tracking all the way from Jin Province to Yu Province and finding it in such a remote village, no more words, sending a carnival gift now!"
As soon as the yellow food truck appeared, the live stream was showered with gifts, which put LuLu in a great mood.
"Don't worry, we'll just take a nap, and when Boss Xiaochen wakes up, we'll continue streaming! See what on earth he's up to coming to this village."
They casually chatted with the audience for a bit until many fans couldn't hold back their sleep anymore, and only then did LuLu end the stream.
Driving and streaming all the way,
The two reclined their seats, and soon, they were asleep.
At four in the morning.
Chen Mo was woken up by an alarm clock right on time.
"I'm going all out for food.", he mumbled as he dressed and jumped out of the truck, getting some water from the tank on the other side to wash up.
While brushing his teeth, Chen Mo noticed a Cadillac parked beside his food truck at some point, looking somewhat familiar.
"Dunzi? LuLu?" Chen Mo stood outside Kai's car, peeking through the window to see two people sleeping soundly, doors and windows tightly shut, not worried about suffocating.
He gave the car handle a tug, and surprisingly it wasn't locked - he could pull it open. He left a gap in LuLu's side, thinking to himself that these young people had no sense of security hazards.
Did they think their Cadillac was as safe as my food truck?
He didn't know how they found him here, but Chen Mo felt something was not quite right, as if ever since that time outside Jingzhou Sports Academy when he found Du Gong through the live stream,
Wherever he went, LuLu would appear.
And then... things would get pretty wild.
"Forget it, that was in Jingzhou; maybe old acquaintances watched the stream and came to support. This time in Yu Province, they surely wouldn't all follow from Jingzhou, right?"
Thinking about it, that seemed impossible.
Chen Mo got into the food truck. It was still dark in Yu Province at four in the morning. He turned on the truck's interior lights and took from the cabinet some lamb bones and meat that had been soaking for six hours.
After a long soak in optimal temperature, the water in the large basin had turned into blood water.
The previously red bones and meat now appeared pale, devoid of any color.
"According to the recipe, the key to making lamb soup is, how to retain the freshness of the lamb without adding any seasonings, while removing the lamb's gamey taste!"
Chen Mo poured out the blood water and rinsed the bones and meat again with cold water.
Start cooking!
The black pot was placed on the stove, and with Chen Mo's intention, it expanded in a blur, becoming a large black pot about one meter in diameter, its interior deeper than usual too.
He added clean water to the pot, threw the bones and lamb directly into the cold water, keeping it straightforward with no seasonings!
Chen Mo controlled the heat, keeping the temperature neither too high nor too low, allowing the cold water in the pot a gradual warming process.
Even with just a hint of initial warmth, you could see the originally clear water in the pot beginning to turn turbid, not the envisaged white but a very unsightly murky dark red hue.
Chen Mo was calm. The recipe noted a detailed explanation for such phenomena.
Meanwhile, there was another task to attend to.
Using grade Flour, he began to make hand-pulled noodles!
