Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The autumn air was chilly. It was best to sell something hot. Ye Lulu had an idea. “Let’s steam and sell some glutinous rice chicken. In any case, the filling is chicken meat. Chicken meat is also needed for congee. In addition, let’s have something that smells good. Let’s… do fried dumplings.”
A few food items flashed in Ye Lulu’s heart. In the end, she decided on fried dumplings. It was more suitable for Mother Rong and the rest to eat as it was the easiest to make.
In the beginning, it was better to start off with something simple.
“Glutinous rice chicken?” Mother Rong widened her eyes and was stunned. She probably knew about fried dumplings. They should be wrapped dumplings, then fried, right? Yes, that was possible. Glutinous rice chicken… what was that?
Ye Lulu pursed her lips and smiled.
There was a small dimple on the side of her fair cheeks. She was beautiful.
No one in the village knew that the Guan family was going to do business.
A few days later, on October 26, at the crowded docks in Yuan City.
Hot smoke rose from the stalls in the crowd, attracting the attention of hungry people. They couldn’t help but stop in their tracks.
Their voices were noisy and bustling. Some cargo ships that had arrived were shouted to ‘unload’, while others were laborers who gritted their teeth and carried heavy goods. In the crowd, voices and laughter intertwined, mixed with the cries of the stall owner. “Selling meat pies, meat pies…”
Among them, a new stall opened.
When this new wooden cart slowly appeared, it had already attracted many surprised and curious gazes. It was pushed by a tall man. The two big wheels spun, and the spacious and semi-controlled structure was surprising.
This was the first time they had seen such a big cart.
Some vendors sold food, so their stall was relatively large, like a simple shop with a small shed erected and tables and chairs placed. This was the first time they had seen a stall that was integrated with a stove.
Three men and two women followed the cart. When they set up a formation and started to sell food, a strange and domineering fragrance dispersed the bustling crowd and rushed into the surging crowd.
The fresh and fragrant aroma of food wafted through the air.
No stall at the docks had ever emitted such a fragrance.
“Smells good… What’s this smell?”
“Oh my, what kind of food is this? It smells too good. It smells like porridge, but why is it so enticing? My stomach rumbled the moment I smelled it. I’m too hungry.”
The crowd was so shocked that they dispersed. Many people turned around and found the stall. They saw that on the main platform of the wooden cart, a few pots were already set up. There was also a steamer around the corner.
“Is the fragrance coming from that steamer? What is it?” Someone thought wrongly.
On the platform that was turned out from the corner, there was a huge pot comparable to a large wooden bucket. Inside was plain porridge. The porridge looked like it had been simmering for a long time. As soon as the firewood was lit, it started boiling. The porridge was thick and dense. Small bubbles kept popping up. Just by looking at it, one could tell that the porridge was cooked very well.
“They only sell plain porridge?”
“Porridge from white rice… is also very good. That’s white rice.”
The people surrounding them discussed and took a deep breath of the fragrance of pure white rice.
