Chapter 86: They Were Thin From Hunger
“Delicious!” The old man shouted excitedly, his face full of enjoyment and joy. He shouted, “It was just nicely burnt and fragrant. This fried dumpling doesn’t seem to be the kind usually made at home. This flavor is amazing!”
Moreover, the fried dumpling was really big. The old man’s mouth wasn’t small either. He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite. However, he could only eat half of the fried dumpling. He had really taken a big bite.
In that case, this fried dumpling tasted twice as good.
Everyone was speechless and cried bitterly.
“There’s so much stuffing. The chives were very tender and fragrant. They were very fresh. I could taste the fresh sweetness of a vegetable. This pork is the same as well. It’s not fishy at all!”
Everyone: “…” What was going on? Why were they so good at talking?
This performance looked too much like support from under.
But everyone knew that wasn’t the case.
This was because some people recognized this old man. He was a famous old man in Yuan City. He was famous for being good at talking and eating, and had a reputation as a ‘famous eater’ in Yuan City.
However, because this old man didn’t have much status and lived freely only because of his family’s ancestral heritage, he usually spoke too much. The villagers mostly felt that he was a busybody and rarely respected him.
Of course, his days were still much better than most people.
“Awesome! How satisfying!” The old man quickly ate two large fried dumplings and finally had enough of the taste. He put down his chopsticks and took a sip of the delicious fish porridge.
The white slices of fish were like a noble work of art.
As the soft porridge entered his mouth, the old man jumped on the table. “Fresh! Tender!”
“Good porridge!”
“There’s no fishy smell at all. Good job! No wonder it was sold at such a price. It was worth it!”
Everyone: “…” Don’t think that you can act as support. We all know you, the old man from the city! You still dare to act as support! You still dare to act as though you’re real!
The old man was overjoyed and tasted it happily.
It was true. The light and delicious fish porridge and the fragrant fried dumplings were a perfect match.
The old man took advantage of the good taste to eat the two fried dumplings in their original flavor first. After drinking half a bowl of porridge in one go, he put down the spoon and picked up another fried dumpling. He dipped it in chili sauce.
After finishing it in three bites, the old man’s face was flushed. His lips were stained with oil, and he was smiling. He looked extremely happy.
“This is tasty!”
Everyone: “…” They didn’t want to look anymore. They were too greedy and had empty stomachs. That was why they were so hungry!
After standing there and looking for a long time, they became thin from hunger and cried bitterly.
After this old man ordered food, there were indeed a few foreign merchants who came by boat, some families who were not as rich in the city, and some travelers who passed by. They walked through the crowd and bought a few portions of food.
The glutinous rice chicken was sold the most.
This was understandable. Glutinous rice chicken was delicious and filling. Most importantly, they were convenient to carry around, unlike congee, which could only be eaten while sitting down, unless people who lived in Yuan City brought tools to carry it.
There were also quite a lot of people who ordered congee. They were targeting people from this dock. Everyone passed by and sat down to finish their porridge. This was an enjoyable thing.
For some reason, some people who were not busy and did not have much to do could not move their feet away after stopping to take a look.
Although they were not the ones who wanted to buy anything, they stood there and watched as Mother Rong made congee and fried dumplings. They also watched as people went forward to order food from time to time.
