Just like yesterday, Gu Yingxue braised 50 pork knuckles and 30 eggs today. Since yesterday, Dinner Package was much popular, she decided to prepare more for it.
After letting them simmer in low heat, she opened the stall and put the signboard and menu board in front of her stall. Since there is nothing to do, she sat down and waited for customers.
Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, today her first customers arrived.
Mu Lin, Qin Wu, and Yu Zhang, after searching for a while, finally found the stall that the meat aroma was coming from. They saw the signboard that hung in the stall.
[Xiaoxue's Braised Meat]
"Hey! Look at that? That's the stall."
Qin Wu pulled the other two towards Gu Yingxue.
"Let's go!"
After walking in, Yu Zhang carefully looked at the owner in front of him, surprised that she was young and beautiful and, without any makeup, still dazzling under the lights.
Seeing Yu Zhang lost in his thoughts and staring at the owner, Mu Lin slapped his shoulder.
"Hey man! What are you looking for?"
Mu Lin whispered to Yu Zhang after he came back to his senses.
"Nothing."
He shook his head while thinking, Why is such a beauty running a food stall rather than entering the entertainment industry?
Gu Yingxue also felt his gaze. but she quickly ignored it. Because she was already used to strangers' gazes, and also she knew that there are not many people who can recognize her.
Meanwhile, Qin Wu ignored the other two's small actions and took a deep breath, confirming that the smell was indeed coming from this shop.
"Boss, give us one braised pork knuckle each."
Then the only other two looked at Qin Wu and then Gu Yingxue's stall.
"Brother, are we rice buckets? How can we eat a whole pork knuckle by ourselves?"
Yu Zhang looked at him in shock.
"Boss, can we order less?"
"Yes, you can order 500 g for each one first. If you want to eat again, then you can order a second time."
"But you have to wait, because it is not cooked yet."
"How long do we need to wait?"
"At least half an hour."
Gu Yingxue looked at them while apologizing to them.
"It's ok, boss, half an hour was not long; we can wait."
Gu Yingxue then focused on the iron pot; she checked the meat, and it was soft and tender, but still, it had to simmer for a while to absorb the braised sauce.
Three of them didn't go anywhere but stayed standing in front of Gu Yingxue's stall.
After half an hour,
"It's ready!"
After saying that, Gu Yingxue quickly picked up 2 pork knuckles, removed the bones skillfully, and then chopped them into pieces. Then she put some white rice in the takeout boxes, laid the chopped meat on it, and poured braised gravy on it.
"Slurp..."
Mu Lin and the other two stared at Gu Yingxue with admiration of her skills and also swallowed their saliva while looking at the meat-filled takeout boxes.
"Sir, here is your order!"
"How much?"
"500 g of pork knuckle meat worth 50 yuan, totaling 150 yuan."
Then Mu Lin quickly paid the bill while Qin Wu grabbed the takeout bag given by Gu Yingxue.
"Thank you, boss!"
"You're welcome! Please come again!"
Qin Wu instantly grabbed the takeout boxes and walked out of Gu Yingxue's stall.
The thirty minutes they waited felt like an eternity for them. So instead of wasting any seconds, three of them sat down at a nearby table and opened the takeout boxes.
After opening takeout boxes, three of them simultaneously swallowed.
"Slurp..."
Just as Qin Wu opened the takeout boxes, Mu Lin instantly grabbed one and took a bite.
"Auch!"
The other two looked at him like a joke and burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha..."
But Mu Lin carefully tasted the bite that he took.
"Wow! This pork knuckle was so amazing!"
"The skin is so tender and soft after long stewing. And also it absorbed all the essence of seasoning."
Then picked up another piece and showed up while carefully analyzing it.
"Look at this deep dark red color and the vibrant and glossy look; it was so tempting."
"Also with this sauce, I can eat 3 or 4 bowls of rice."
Just in a few minutes, three of them finished their own portion. But still felt empty in the stomach.
"Sigh! I thought 500 g of meat should be enough. But now I still feel empty inside."
Mu Lin rubbed his stomach while talking to the other two.
"What do you think? Should we try other stalls or order braised meat again?"
Yu Zhang asked Qin Wu and Mu Lin while glancing at Gu Yingxue's stall.
"Of course, we have to order again!"
Then Qin Wu went to Gu Yingxue's stall again, and the other two, Mu Lin and Yu Zhang, quietly followed him behind. But this time in front of her stall, several people were already lined up.
Qin Wu waited a few minutes, then his chance arrived.
"Boss, give me three pork knuckles. And no need to cut."
Qin Wu quickly ordered.
Hearing it, Gu Yingxue was taken aback and looked at him in shock.
"Holy crap! Brother, are you serious?"
"Who eats a whole pork knuckle without even cutting?"
Yu Zhang screamed after hearing it. Then grabbed Qin Wu's shoulders and shook him.
"Brother, come to your sense."
"Hey! Stopped it. I feel dizzy."
"Any way let's try whole pork knuckle."
"How charm, it to eat pork knuckles with bones."
Then Gu Yingxue's picked three whole pork knuckles to them and prepared rice for them separately. And also she prepared disposable gloves to them.
After taking their order, three of them walked and sat down again in the table.
Qin Wu immediately picked up one pork knuckle with his both hands after wearing disposable gloves.
He blew it over few times and took a bite.
The pork meat sperate from bone smoothly and clearly. It was soft tender and it doesn't need chew at all. The pork meat instantly disappeared in his mouth. Just as he savouring it other two also quickly followed him.
Time passed by second by second, but three of them didn't put down the pork knuckle at all. Passersby also looked at three of with widden eyes.
Not only that because of their performance, Gu Yingxue's braised meat also quickly sold out.
