Chapter 21 There are so many people, are they queuing up to get eggs?
"Hey, brother, what are all of you doing lining up here?"
A bald man, wearing a vest, shorts, flip-flops, fluttering by.
Seeing a long line on the side of the sidewalk with no end in sight, I couldn't help but walk up to a big brother who was close enough to ask.
With so many people, could it be that they are queuing up to receive eggs?
(Please remember the 𝟔𝟗Book Bar website to watch the fastest chapter updates)
"Buy buns."
The next second, the elder brother was also very approachable and answered him directly.
But this answer was a little different from what the bald brother had imagined, and he was a little confused for a moment.
"So many of you are queuing up here to buy steamed buns at night?"
The bald brother's expression was very confused and full of confusion.
The eldest brother had a look on his face that said, "Don't you understand this?" He smiled and said, "The buns here are delicious. If you have nothing to do, you can queue up and buy a few to try. The taste is unparalleled."
The bald man's curiosity was really aroused by his words. He thanked him, walked back along the line, stood at the back of the line and waited in line.
Because we were standing far away, the aroma of the steamed buns could not reach the back of the queue.
By the time the bald brother stood at the front of the line and could smell the aroma of the steamed buns, Lin Zhou was already selling the last few cages of steamed buns.
The bald brother looked a little anxious.
He's been standing there for an hour, don't let him lose it when it's his turn!
If you didn't wait in line for so long and didn't pay, then you wouldn't feel the same if you didn't eat.
But if your efforts are not rewarded, you will feel a loss and your feelings will be different.
The bald brother stared longingly at the people in front of him, stared at Lin Zhou's movements, and carefully looked at the remaining buns in the steamer. His serious look, combined with the image of his bald head and tattoos, made him look a bit sinister.
It put a lot of psychological pressure on the few diners standing in front of him.
This eldest brother is not easy to mess with at first glance. If he doesn't buy the buns, he won't retaliate against them, right?
This is a society governed by the rule of law. If someone is robbed, should they call the police first or run away first?
If it doesn't work, wait until they buy the buns to see what's left. If there aren't many left, buy two less. Otherwise, you'll always feel a lot of pressure.
The young girl in front of the bald brother walked to Lin Zhou's stall and looked at the few steamed buns left in the steamer. She was almost crying.
Why is she so unlucky that when she goes out to buy a bun, she meets someone like a gangster boss?
"I...I want a tofu bun and a big meat bun."
The girl said tremblingly, then after paying the money, she quickly picked up the buns and ran away without looking back.
The bald brother didn't care. He walked forward and saw that there were only a few left in the steamer, so he immediately asked for them all.
"I want the rest, wrap it up."
When Lin Zhou heard this, his hand holding the buns stopped.
The brother standing behind the bald brother was also stunned.
He looked at Lin Zhou and then at the bald brother. He looked at Lin Zhou pitifully, as if he dared not speak in anger.
Lin Zhou caught his gaze and said calmly: "Each person is limited to four. There are spicy tofu buns and large meat buns. Which one does the guest want?"
The bald brother was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to buy a steamed bun and there was a purchase limit.
The brothers behind saw that Lin Zhou refused directly, and their eyes widened.
This bald man is not easy to mess with at first sight. If the boss says it so directly, will there be any conflict?
How about he stop eating and give the remaining buns to this bald brother?
No, no, no, how can I be willing to let go of such delicious steamed buns?
He has been waiting in line for a long time!
I can't say this falsehood.
Just as the man was nervously watching the bald brother's reaction.
The bald brother nodded normally and ordered two tofu buns and two big meat buns.
"Thirty dollars."
Lin Zhou packed the buns and handed them over and smoothly quoted the price.
The bald brother scanned the QR code to pay the bill.
There were no disputes as everyone imagined throughout the process.
I didn't expect that the bald brother who seemed to be irritable and had a bad temper would be so reasonable.
The man behind walked up and down, still a little in disbelief.
But seeing that there were four buns left in the steamer, a smile immediately broke out on his face.
I was just looking at the bald man, but I didn't notice that there were only eight buns left in the steamer.
If the bald brother wants them all, he will be left empty-handed and unable to eat!
What a lucky day today!
He happily took the buns, paid, and left with a smile on his face.
It’s a pain for the people behind him.
"Ah, the boss is gone?"
"No, I didn't buy it yesterday, and I still haven't bought it today. Isn't this going to cost me my life?"
"Boss, boss, have mercy on the kid. I haven't even eaten dinner yet, and I'm just waiting for your steamed buns. How could they be sold out so quickly!"
"Boss, I want to eat steamed buns. I won't leave until I can eat them!"
"..."
Some people left disappointed when they heard it was sold out.
There were also some who were unwilling to give up and even pulled Lin Zhou's tricycle, crying and wanting to eat steamed buns.
Listening to this background sound, the bald brother who had not walked far suddenly felt that the bun in his hand was very delicious even before he had eaten it.
He opened the plastic bag, lowered his head and bit into the hot bun.
The dough of the steamed buns is very soft, and the meat filling is also very delicious. It is full of meat in one bite, and the juices burst in your mouth.
The meat in the meat filling is both fat and lean, and the mouth is full of the aroma of fat. The taste is not dry like pure lean meat, but very delicate and oily. In addition to the meat, there is also the aroma of green onions, which makes the meat filling not too greasy, and only the mellow fragrance is left in the mouth.
The bald brother was simply astonished, looking down at the big meat bun in his hand.
He bit off a small half of the round big meat bun, and the meat filling inside could be seen from the gap. If you pinch it slightly, you can see a layer of clear meat juice at the bottom of the bun.
There are also fine oil spots on the soup, but the soup is very clear and does not feel oily at all. On the contrary, it only arouses people's appetite.
The bald brother obviously couldn't resist the temptation, and he lowered his head and took a big bite. His mouth was immediately filled with meaty and slightly sweet broth, which was extremely delicious. Moreover, the soup had not completely penetrated into the dough, and the soft and chewy texture of the dough was even more unique.
It was so delicious!
The one-hour queue was worth it!
He ate a bun in three bites.
He ate another one right after that.
The big meat bun is indeed a big meat bun, the size of a fist. Although it looks big because the dough is fermented and fluffy, the meat filling inside is not ambiguous at all.
The bun is made with thin skin and large filling. When you bite it, it is full of meat, full of happiness.
In addition, the delicious gravy in the meat filling is so fresh that it makes your eyebrows drop. Every bite is amazing.
After eating two big meat buns, the bald brother looked at the remaining tofu buns with unsatisfied taste.
The tofu bun is easy to identify because the spicy smell and the red sauce have penetrated the dough, giving the white dough a tie-dyed red dress, which makes people notice it at a glance.
After eating it in the mouth, the first feeling is spicy. The spicy sauce spreads on the tip of the tongue, and then the tofu is chewed.
The tofu is smooth and full of soup, combined with the soft and elastic dough, it is both appetizing and delicious.
The rich spicy flavor instantly covered the big meat bun eaten in front, and immediately shifted the diners' attention from the big meat bun to the present.
