    Following his movements, the steamed bun hung tremblingly into the air.

    The soup dripped down to the bottom of the steamed stuffed bun, stretching the dough into a frightening arc, but the dough was firm and did not leak any soup.

    It still looked shaky though.

    Uncle Zhang hurriedly served it with a spoon, and the steamed buns were swollen by the soup. He couldn't help poking it lightly with his chopsticks, the dough broke open, and the shiny soup overflowed the spoon in an instant.

    The soup is amber-like light yellow, with a little golden crab oil on top, exuding a fascinating and rich aroma.

    Through the pierced holes in the dough, you can still see the stuffing inside. The skin is white, the meat is tender, and the crab roe is bright yellow, which is an appetizing color!

    Uncle Zhang moved the spoon to his mouth and drank the soup cherishingly. The hot and delicious taste swept over the taste buds in an instant.

    fresh!The crab powder seems to condense the essence of the whole crab, bringing a rich and incomparable freshness!

    The soft and tender crab meat, plump crab paste and plump crab roe are fully boiled in lard, and mixed with finely chopped fresh meat to form a breathtaking umami taste.The umami soaked into the dashi again and exploded in the mouth.

    Uncle Zhang stopped eating with his chopsticks, narrowed his eyes slightly, savoring this wonderful taste.

    As he got older, his tongue gradually became less flexible. He usually likes heavy flavors when eating, and thick oily red sauce is his favorite.

    Unexpectedly, although the taste of this steamed bun was not heavy, it was delicious beyond imagination, so delicious that his tongue seemed to come alive!

    is it possible?

    If my sense of taste is still the same as when I was young, how delicious is this?!

    Uncle Zhang was shocked in his heart, but subconsciously chewed non-stop, and the six steamed buns soon went into his stomach.

    "How is it?" Jiang Ci and other users responded.

    Uncle Zhang raised his head blankly: "Your store... has something!"

    "Yes." Jiang Ci smiled.

    "Is this crab just caught today? The crab meat and crab roe are very fresh! I can still taste it, old man."

    "Thanks to the season, crabs are on the market recently, and the crabs are fat." Jiang Ci strikes while the iron is hot, "Are you hungry? Have another one?"

    Uncle Zhang licked his lips recalling the delicious taste, but stopped when he heard this sentence.

    It's a lot to spend 80, and another 80?!

    Jiang Ci pondered his expression, and asked in a low voice, "What about shepherd's purse and fresh meat, it's only forty."

    Uncle Zhang: "..." What is "just"!Forty is also expensive, right?

    Besides, is this weak tone and the drop from 80 to 40 because he thinks he can't afford the money?

    Uncle Zhang stared: "For another order, I want crab meat and fresh meat, pack it up and take it away!"

    Jiang Ci: "Okay, okay."

    Uncle Zhang also figured it out. As far as the materials and workmanship of this store are concerned, the price is really worth it.That is to say, he is old and eats less, otherwise he can still eat a few more cages.

    And he thinks that if the old woman tastes the steamed stuffed bun, they will be able to gently expose the day's affairs...

    Uncle Zhang walked to the cashier. Not long after paying, Jiang Ci packed a basket of steamed buns and handed them to him.

    "Hold it carefully, don't leave it for too long, and eat it while it's hot." Jiang Ci instructed.

    "Yeah." Uncle Zhang was about to go out in a hurry. He knew that delicious food has a shelf life, and the freshly baked buns are also the best. When they are cooled and heated again, the flavor will be different.

    Jiang Ci took advantage of the victory to pursue: "The buns stuffed with shepherd's purse and fresh meat are also delicious, don't you really want to try it?"

    "Next time next time." Uncle Zhang waved his hand and hurried out.

    "You come here often!" Jiang Ci shouted, watching the guests leave.

    ...

    As Uncle Zhang thought, there is really no one on Anxu Road, and the name of Jiang Ci's shop is so nondescript. If he hadn't had a quick look at the dining table inside, he wouldn't have known it was a restaurant.

    Jiang Ci is full of confidence in her craftsmanship, but on the first day of opening, she encountered a cold. Only a few customers came to the store within two hours of opening.

    Although every guest has a very good evaluation after tasting the xiao long bao, the number of people can't go up!

    Jiang Ci said that she was not in a hurry. She knew that the store's reputation needed a fermentation period, but it might be a bit urgent after all. The buns she made today could not be sold out, nor could they be saved until tomorrow.

    It's seven o'clock, any later, and the meal will be over.

    Jiang Ci made a decisive decision, and brought out a small steamed bun from the back kitchen, and placed it on the table closest to the shop entrance.

    "Aunt Liang, are you tired, come and eat?" Jiang Ci smiled.

    "Really?" Liang Hui asked in surprise.

    She stood at the cash register for a long time, and she was a little embarrassed. No customers came, and she couldn't play with her mobile phone in front of the new boss.

    "Yeah, staff meals don't cost money." Jiang Ci added.

    Liang Hui's expression changed all of a sudden. In fact, she was very greedy for Xiaolongbao. She had been greedy since she took a bite on the day of recruitment, but the buns were expensive, and she couldn't afford them herself.

    At least it can't be eaten like a cafeteria, and at most it will occasionally serve meat.

    Speaking of this, Liang Hui also felt that she had a good eye. The day she tasted the buns, she felt that she had found a treasure. With this skill, unless the boss was out of his mind, this store should not be on the verge of bankruptcy like her original toy factory.

    Liang Hui came out from the cash register embarrassedly: "Then thank you boss."

    "No thanks." Jiang Ci instructed, "Eat slowly and taste better, mainly to let the smell out."

    Oh!Liang Hui suddenly understood.

    ...

    "Wife, are you okay? Just hold on!"

    "No, let me go! I can't hold back anymore!"

    His wife started knocking on the car window, and Li Jianhong stopped the car in a hurry. Fortunately, there were not many people and vehicles around here, so he turned the steering wheel and parked on the side of the road.

    The wife rushed out of the car, hugged a tree by the side of the road and started vomiting.

    Li Jianhong grabbed a box of tissues and quickly got out of the car, patting his wife on the back while passing the paper.

    He and his wife decided to have a child when they were older. Now that his wife is an advanced mother, pregnancy is followed by various severe pregnancy reactions.

    In the past few weeks, have no appetite at all. vomit whatever eat, so can only go to the hospital to hang glucose.

    Li Jianhong said distressedly: "I vomit like this every time I have an obstetric examination, why don't we change to a designated hospital, and change to a hospital near us, which is a short drive away."

    "No, that's a provincial doctor. The doctor is experienced and treats the baby well..." Liu Fangting disagreed, "It's only a 20-minute drive."

    She didn't eat anything that day. Although she felt nauseated, she didn't vomit anything, just retching.

    Liu Fangting's eyes were red from vomiting. After vomiting, she stood in place for a while, and then slowly straightened up.

    Liu Fangting: "Let's go. Go back."

    Li Jianhong suggested: "Why don't you stand a little longer and take your time."

    "also."

    The slightly cold night wind blew across her cheeks, and the fresh air made the discomfort gradually fade away. Liu Fangting felt better and her expression became more relaxed.

    On the side, Li Jianhong still frowned.

    It’s not okay to keep hanging on glucose like this. have to let wife eat something, but what to eat?Recently, the daily meal has been like a big battle for him.

    Just thinking about it, his nose suddenly moved.

    There was a smell of... the smell of crab powder in the wind!

    Crab meal?Li Jianhong was so fragrant that he salivated, but his heart was raised - his wife was afraid of fishy food recently, and she vomited wildly after eating fish. God knows if the smell of crab powder, which is also fresh from the river, would irritate her!

    Turning her head, she saw Liu Fangting's expression was blank, her eyes were fixed on the direction where the smell came from.

    Then...he licked his lips.

    Liu Fangting: "Is it the smell from that store? Feng Qianguan?"

    Li Jianhong looked over and saw a dense maple tree under the night.At night, the red color of maple leaves can no longer be seen, only the places illuminated by street lights are bright red.

    The wooden signboard is antique, with the words "Feng Qianguan" written on it.

    At the door of the store, a middle-aged aunt is slowly eating a soup-filled steamed bun with an intoxicated expression.

    The scent is coming from there.

    Li Jianhong observed his wife's face, and said uncertainly: "Do you have an appetite? Why don't you go somewhere...to see?"

    "Okay." Liu Fangting took a step involuntarily.
