People with cravings indulge in delicious food first.
Dunzi shakily brought over a serving of Mapo tofu, and as he trembled slightly, the sauce and tofu inside also gently quivered.
But interestingly, despite the movement, it didn't lose its shape.
Chen Mo finished preparing one dish, casually grabbed some noodles, and Mu Mu helped pack two buns, asking, "Big Brother, do you want rice?"
Mu Mu had a bit of a crush on Dunzi because he had just called her the boss's wife!
Dunzi couldn't care less about rice or no rice, his face's fat jiggling as he shook his head, "Eat, gotta eat, this stuff is made to be eaten with rice!"
Looking for a place to sit, Boss Chen's small yellow stool was right in front of him, and just as Dunzi was about to step forward, Gold Medal Salesperson reached out and took his arm.
"Brother Dun, that stool will hurt your back, we have chairs here, they're comfortable. We even prepared a small dining table just for you, the height is just right, how convenient is that."
Dunzi didn't think much of it, mainly because the smell of the Mapo tofu was wafting up his nose, and all he could think about was taking a big bite as soon as possible.
Without realizing, he sat down on the camping chair, and Xiao Na helped her Brother Dunzi by placing the noodles, Mapo tofu, and buns on the folding table.
Then...
"Let me light a candle for you, add a little ambiance."
A candle inside a transparent glass cup was lit, unaffected by the slight breeze, and a bouquet of thorny roses was placed by the table.
"Hiss!!!" Chen Mo couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.
He Chunming, have you turned your foot massage parlor into a restaurant?
Truth be told, once the candle is lit and the roses are set out, the atmosphere instantly upgrades.
Dunzi was also shocked, "Xiao Na, you're not charging for this, right?"
"Are you kidding me~" Xiao Na grabbed Dunzi's calf, taking off his shoes and socks, and then placed them in a basin filled with water, "All free of charge, except for the foot massage."
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!" Dunzi asked her, "Do you have wine glasses?"
"Of course, but since I thought you drove here, I didn't bring any." Saying this, Xiao Na turned around and pulled a wine glass out of her big backpack and placed it on the table, "We even sell alcohol, do you want any? I could be your designated driver."
Dunzi shook his head, "No alcohol."
Although he wasn't sure what to drink, with roses and a candle already there, not having a wine glass was not quite right, so everything was set up.
Hey!
The pleasant atmosphere came right in, and Dunzi couldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams that he'd feel like he was dining in a high-end restaurant from just eating at a food stall.
No need for more words.
Now, it's time to enjoy the food!
Dunzi held a spoon in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, scooping up a wobbly piece of tofu, its white surface covered in oily red sauce, with tiny beef granules, and took a big bite!
"Awooo!"
Dunzi yelled and twitched, while Xiao Na, pressing his foot on her lap, began to vigorously pat the top of his foot.
It's too hot!
The tofu slid right down his throat without even being chewed, sliding smoothly down his esophagus into his stomach, causing a pained expression on Dunzi's face; his mouth wasn't burning anymore, but his stomach was!
"Brother Dunzi, you can't rush with hot tofu, take it slow."
Annoyed, Dunzi grunted, "Wasn't eating your tofu!"
Grabbed another bite.
This time he was much more careful, blowing on it for quite some time before putting it in his mouth.
It melted instantly with the heat in his mouth, spreading all over with the sauce, which left a strong spicy flavor along with the distinct granules of the beef.
Upon chewing, the roasted beef granules released an intense meaty aroma, leaving Dunzi momentarily confused about whether he was eating tofu or beef.
But it was just so delicious!
Without thinking too much, Dunzi scooped some tofu onto his rice and took a huge bite.
Once the tofu soaked in savory sauce mixed with rice, it created a new wonderful flavor, the carbohydrates combining with the spicy, savory heat satisfying every cell of his body, simply delicious beyond compare.
The Mapo tofu was devoured quickly, and the rice disappeared just as fast. Dunzi gazed at the little pool of red sauce left and fell into thought, it seemed wasteful to leave it.
Never mind, best not to dwell on it.
Dunzi started slurping up the noodles, the light noodles washing down the spicy taste, and snatching a bun occasionally.
Smack!
"This is life, isn't it?"
Dunzi's messy eating could be considered unappealing, yet it gave off an impression of deliciousness.
The diners waiting in line had no idea where to look for a moment; watching Dunzi eat was delightful. Watching Boss Xiao Chen cook was just as enticing.
Having prepped the beef granules and other ingredients ahead of time, with the help of the wok, Chen Mo could whip up Mapo tofu at a rapid pace, one dish after another leaving the pan, eagerly taken away by the waiting diners.
Some chose to eat right at Xiao Huang's table, while others opted in for a regular foot bath package, creating an ambiance.
"I have a little donkey which I never ride, one day I... ouch!" Old Zhao finally arrived at Xuefu Street after a half-hour ride, but fell speechless at the sight in front of him, interrupting his song.
"What's all this?" Old Zhao pedaled hard, rushing over, "What's going on? Why the candlelight dinner all of a sudden?"
Old Zhao had been craving a bowl of noodles. He was just fantasizing that even if there was no table, he would squat by the roadside with his bowl, slurping away.
True gourmands aren't all that particular.
But upon seeing this, he couldn't help being shocked.
Thick-set Dunzi was sprawled on a chair, his pant legs rolled up, being served by a young lady who was patting his feet and massaging his toes.
In front of him was a table with a few empty bowls.
What's absurd is that there was candlelight and roses, along with an empty wine glass!
"Dunzi, when did you become paralyzed?"
"Get lost!" Dunzi pulled his feet back to put on his slippers, "This is called an all-in-one service, you know?"
"What is that?"
"It's dining-entertainment integrated service, not that you'd understand."
Old Zhao smacked his lips and ran over to the other line, still feeling this was a bit pretentious!
Quickly, it was Old Zhao's turn.
"A bun, a bowl of noodles, and a serving of Mapo tofu, please."
Mu Mu packed the noodles and buns and asked, "Don't you want rice?"
Old Zhao decisively shook his head, "No, rice gives me stomachaches."
An old ailment, Old Zhao never eats rice at home, it's always noodles or steamed buns.
Having ordered, Old Zhao wandered around and finally decided, "Let me have the premium package!"
The 58 yuan foot massage service was specially meticulous, even adding milk to the basin, leaving the feet incredibly smooth afterward.
Old Zhao was really splurging today.
Just spend and enjoy!
