Early in the morning, Gao Dian got up quickly.

I made an appointment to go to eat mutton steamed buns with Lou Xiangpeng today, but I couldn’t get up too late.

Shortly after he packed up, Lou Xiangpeng called.

"Brother Dian, have you got up? I've already arrived at the door of your hotel." Lou Xiangpeng asked.

"I'll pack up soon, and get out immediately." Gao Dian said.

He put on his clothes and hurried down.

Lou Xiangpeng drove a car, Gao Dian opened the door and sat in it.

In the car, Gao Dian asked: "Is it necessary to go so early?"

Lou Xiangpeng said: "Brother Dian, you don't know anything about this. If you want to eat good mutton soaked buns, you have to go early. If you go late, you can't eat it."

Gao Dian nodded when he heard this, but said nothing.

Lou Xiangpeng drove to an inconspicuous hotel. Early in the morning, it was full of people.

Lou Xiangpeng found a familiar seat and greeted Gao Dian to sit down.

"Brother Dian, do you have a heavy or clear mouth?" Lou Xiangpeng asked.

"Please be heavier." Gao Dian said.

Lou Xiangpeng nodded, then asked again: "Brother Dian, do you want to eat single, dry and pick the soup, and water besiege?"

Gao Dian heard it inexplicably and asked: "What do these four mean, and what is the difference?"

Lou Xiangpeng said: "The so-called single-travel means that mutton soup and steamed buns are brought together. You break the buns and put them into a bowl to eat. This way of eating is called single-travel. It reflects that everyone has their own flavor, but we rarely eat it like this."

Gao Dian nodded, indicating that he understood.

Lou Xiangpeng continued: "The difference between the three ways to eat dried pluck, gutang and Shuiweicheng is the amount of soup. Dried pluck means that there is no soup after eating the steamed bun in the bowl. After eating the steamed bun, there is still a bit of soup left. Shuiweicheng means that the steamed bun in the middle and the soup around."

The name of these three ways of eating is actually very appropriate to describe the way of eating. Lou Xiangpeng explained it a little and Gao Dian understood it.

"I don't know much about these, you recommend a way to eat them." Gao Dian said.

Lou Xiangpeng smiled and said, "My personal favorite is the way to eat the soup. If Brother Dian doesn't know which one to eat, you might as well give it a try."

"Then let's have some soup." Gao Dian said.

After a while, Lou Xiangpeng ordered good dishes, and someone brought two buns and two bowls.

Lou Xiangpeng said: "The mutton steamed bun must be broken before eating it, so that it can be easily tasty."

Gao Dian picked up the steamed bun and pinched it, which was a little hard.

Gao Dian also knows about breaking the mutton steamed buns in advance.

"What size should we break into? The thinner the better?" Gao Dian asked.

Lou Xiangpeng shook his head and smiled, "The thinner the better. Depending on the choice of eating, the size of the beans is also different. For example, if you pull it dry, it will break it into the size of soybeans, the soup will break it into the size of peanuts, and the water will break it into the size of broad beans.

The size you break out is different, so the chef's method will be different."

Gao Dian suddenly realized that his fingers slowly broke up and broke each of them into the size of peanuts.

However, his movements were a bit slow, far less skillful than Lou Xiangpeng.

It’s the first time I broke the bun, and it’s normal to break it slowly.

Lou Xiangpeng smiled and said, "Don't worry about breaking the buns. This is a slow work and a meticulous job. The process of breaking the buns is also a process of enjoying delicious food. It's like making tea while drinking tea."

Gao Dian nodded and slowly turned around.

Lou Xiangpeng's bowl of dishes was already in his mouth, and Gao Dian had only half left in his hand. He did not rush to bring someone to the kitchen, but was waiting for Gao Dian.

Finally, Gao Dian broke the steamed bun in his hand and looked at the bowl of thin buns, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Lou Xiangpeng asked someone to bring the broken buns into the kitchen. After a while, two bowls of mutton soy steamed buns were brought out. The ones served were chili and sugar garlic.

The mutton in the bowl was on the top, and the steamed buns in the bowl were covered with the soup, and they became swelling one by one, and the broth was almost invisible in the bowl.

Gao Dian was about to mix it with chopsticks, but Lou Xiangpeng stopped him.

"Brother Dian, you can't stir this. If you want to stir it, just be lighter, otherwise it will become muddy." Lou Xiangpeng said.

When Gao Dian heard this, he paused the movements in his hand and said, "Then I'll be gentle."

After mixing for a while, Gao Dian asked again: "Are these sugar garlic and chili eaten with them?"

Lou Xiangpeng shook his head and said, "This depends on my personal preference. Of course, if we usually eat it, we will take a few bites first. When we get a little tired, add chili and chew two candy garlic."

Gao Dian suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

"Hoho~"

Gao Dian ate mutton soaked buns, which he broke out by himself. After cooking on high heat, each bun was filled with soup.

When you eat it in your mouth, the taste of the bun is soft and tough, and the deliciousness of the mutton soup is all in this small bun, and you can’t see the soup when you eat it.

The mutton is soft but not loose. When eaten in the mouth, the meat is fragrant.

The bun has no taste, but after sucking the mutton soup, it transforms into a top-notch delicacy.

After eating half a bowl, Gao Dian saw Lou Xiangpeng start eating candy garlic. Curiously, he picked up one and tasted it.

When you enter the mouth of sugar garlic, the combination of sweetness and spicy garlic taste makes Gaodian feel a little uncomfortable.

However, after eating two bites of mutton soaking steamed buns, he suddenly felt that mutton soaking steamed buns under sugar garlic was a very wonderful combination.

He tried again, unconsciously getting addicted. This was the first time he tried this taste and felt inexplicably good.

In a short while, the two of them finished their meal.

Lou Xiangpeng asked: "Brother Dian, how about this mutton soaking steamed bun?"

"It's delicious." Gao Dian said.

This is his first time eating mutton soaked buns, but this taste does not make him pick up anything, and he has the urge to eat it again.

Of course, it was just an impulse. If he really wanted to continue eating, Gao Dian couldn't eat it anymore.

A bowl of mutton soaked buns is quite large. After eating a bowl of Gaodian, he is almost eighty percent full. He can't finish one more bowl. He is not a big eater like Lou Xiangpeng.

Lou Xiangpeng smiled and said, "It's fine. Brother Dian, you can try the other three ways to eat it in the future, but I personally don't recommend it alone."

Gao Dian nodded, feeling a little interested, but he couldn't eat it at this moment, so he could only leave it until later.

When the two walked out of the store, there were still many customers inside. Gao Dian sighed: "There are so many people."

Lou Xiangpeng smiled and said, "Of course, this mutton steamed bun is famous. His house has been open for decades. Anyway, I ate mutton steamed buns here when I was a child. Over the years, their house has been full every day, and it opens at 7 a.m. and closes around 1 p.m.."

Gao Dian said in surprise: "It's closed so early?"

"Yes, the buns and soup are prepared in advance, and the quantity is limited every day, so it will naturally close after it is sold out." Lou Xiangpeng said.

"That's it." Gao Dian nodded.

Suddenly, Gao Dian thought of a question and asked: "Is this the best mutton soup bun in K City?"

Lou Xiangpeng shook his head and said, "Of course not, the best mutton soup buns are hard to eat."

Gao Dian nodded when he heard this.

After the two of them had eaten mutton soaked buns, Lou Xiangpeng and Gao Dian talked about the food festival.

"Brother Dian, my dad has agreed to give us the invitation letter. Then we can set up a stall at the food festival." Lou Xiangpeng said.

Gao Dian's eyes lit up and said, "Really? That's great. Thank you Uncle Lou for me."

Lou Xiangpeng waved his hand and said, "No need to thank him."

Gao Dian:???

Lou Xiangpeng did not explain too much. There was no need to take it out and talk about the bet between the father and son.

"Brother Dian, I have obtained the qualification to participate, so what should we do?" Lou Xiangpeng asked a question.

They attended the food festival not as tourists, but as stall owners.

Since it is a food festival, as a stall owner, you must have delicious food.

Gao Dian pondered that he had no idea about this issue for the time being. He mainly mentioned it yesterday, but he didn't expect Lou Xiangpeng to get it done today.

Gao Dian thought deeply for a while and said, "How about you talking about making noodles?"

When Lou Xiangpeng heard this, he shook his head and said, "Brother Dian, it's too troublesome to make noodles. Let's make a little simpler."

Gao Dian thought about it and it was really troublesome to make noodles, and the cost would increase. Is it necessary to buy disposable bowls and chopsticks? That's all the cost.

"Then what do you do?" Gao Dian asked.

"We make simple and profitable pastries." Lou Xiangpeng said.

The reason why he said this was that he was still worried that he would not make 50,000 yuan. Once he couldn't make it, his life for the next year would be miserable.

When Gao Dian heard this request, he felt speechless. It was simple and profitable. This requirement was so beautiful.

Lou Xiangpeng also knew that the idea he proposed was quite unrealistic, so he said again: "Brother Dian, otherwise, we will make some pastries with higher profits."
