Chapter 186 - Beancurd Skin Bun (1/2)

Now that he had to wait a few hours for it to freeze, Xu Le said to Lu Yuxi, “Let’s have breakfast. Are you coming?”

“What are you going to make for breakfast?”

“I’m not cooking anymore! I’m so tired!” Xu Le smiled as he said, “It’s too troublesome. I’m not intending to go to the shop for a few days after I’m done with this dish.”

His overly straightforward words made Lu Yuxi giggle. “Then let’s go, ask your parents what they’re eating.”

“Alright!”

After Xu Le asked, the two of them went straight to Uncle Bai’s store. They took a taxi from home to the store and almost had to cross half the city.

“Uncle Bai, a small steamed bun, two bowls of dumplings, two beancurd pudding, and salted egg yolk meat dumplings.”

“Oh, it’s you guys?”

Uncle Bai smiled and said, “Come in and sit.”

The air in the open-air courtyard was obviously better. Lu Yuxi gestured and said. “Let’s sit here. I’m so hungry. Please serve the dishes quickly.”

“Sure.” Uncle Bai said happily, “I recently learnt a bun recipe. Do you want to try it?”

“Learnt?” Xu Le was interested. “What bun?”

“Beancurd skin bun.”

Xu Le nodded and said, “Give me one serving.”

“Beancurd skin can even be used in making buns?”

Lu Yuxi looked puzzled. “It’s so thick. Will it taste like beans when it’s added to a bun?”

“Let’s see when Uncle Bai serves it.”

Xu Le was not sure if the beancurd skin mentioned was used for the filling or the outer skin. As the two of them were chatting, a huge force slapped on Xu Le’s back, causing him to cough and turn around to glare at the other party.

Li Shengsheng’s hand froze in midair. “I forgot you had become smaller. Oh, are you okay?”

“You almost slapped my lungs out.”

Xu Le rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to hold him accountable. “You’re here for breakfast too?”

“Hmph, the two of you didn’t even call me up to eat.”

After sitting down, Li Shengsheng said, “What did you order? I want to eat too.”

Then he picked up the handwritten menu from the table and scanned it from top to bottom. “Do you guys have any plans next?”

“We’ve been recording a tutorial on a dish recently,” Lu Yuxi replied casually. Then, she said, “I remember that there was a Xinjiang spicy fried vermicelli at the school gate previously. I wonder if it’s still open? Recently, I’ve been eating especially bland food. I crave something spicy.”

Li Shengsheng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “Just get the person beside you to cook whatever you want to eat. Why do you have to specially look for a shop?”

He teased. Xu Le agreed and nudged Lu Yuxi and said, “Who are you looking down on?”

At this moment, Uncle Bai’s buns were served. It was a serving of soft and tender steamed xiaolongbao and a serving of beancurd skin bun.

The fried beancurd skin was used on the outside, and the filling inside could be vaguely seen under bright light.

“The rest can wait for a while. I’ll serve the buns first. Eat them while they’re hot.”

“Uncle Bai, which recipe did you learn from?”
