“Delicious, simply delicious. I feel like the world is such a lovely place. It’s as if I’m floating in a sky full of stars,” the fashionable youngster said with satisfaction as he licked his lips continuously. The exaggerated facial expression had become a common sight on Cloud Street.

Lin Fan looked at the youngster and smiled. Initially, he didn’t want to sell scallion pancakes but now he realized that the feeling was pretty good. To be able to let others try such a delicacy that shouldn’t even exist on Earth, it gave him a fair bit of satisfaction.

“Little Boss, could you use more dough? Make it bigger. It’s best that you make one that’s as big as the wok,” a white collared worker gestured and said as he stood in front of the cart. He had already queued up several times but now that he finally got chosen, he was extremely excited. He could finally taste the scallion pancake of his dreams.

Lin Fan smiled and said, “They’re all equally big.”

While he was looking at the skillful movements of Little Boss, an aroma filled the air. The man couldn’t wait to try it even though he had never tasted it before. The aroma had already entered his nostrils and filled him. It was as if he was drunk on the smell of the pancakes alone.

Lin Fan placed the pancake into a plastic bag and said, “It’s done.”

This type of delicacy should have been served on an expensive plate together with a glass of red wine. There should have been music playing in the background as a person tasted it. However, the type of plastic bag that was used brought the status of the scallion pancakes down. Even so, it could never make the scallion pancakes taste any worse.

The man couldn’t wait any longer. He immediately took a bite. He wasn’t bothered by the piping hot scallion pancake scalding his tongue. Soon, he let out an exaggerated expression and looked as if he was drunk.

Everyone had a different feeling after tasting the pancakes but regardless of how they felt, the final outcome was that they would feel satisfied and joyous. Their taste buds had been satisfied and it helped them to be in their best mood for the day.

The townsfolk looked enviously at the people that managed to get their hands on the scallion pancakes. It was a struggle for them as they witnessed them eating the delicious scallion pancakes with such joy.

By then, the youngster had already walked to the end of the road but he was stopped by a reporter.

“Hi, may I know if your scallion pancakes are bought from that shop?” The reporter asked.

The youngster asked, “You are..?”

“Oh, I’m a gourmet cuisine reporter and I heard that the scallion pancakes here are extremely delicious. Hence, I wanted to interview you,” the reporter smiled and said.

When the youngster heard that he was a reporter asking about Master Lin’s delicacy, he had nothing but compliments to say.

“You’ve asked the right person. Little Boss’ scallion pancakes can’t simply be described as ‘delicious’. Actually, I don’t even know how to describe the taste. You have to taste it yourself to understand how it feels,” the youngster replied excitedly.

The reporter nodded and replied, “Oh, may I ask why you made the exaggerated facial expression after you ate the scallion pancake?”

The youngster was a little stunned, “I don’t know about that but each time I take a bite of the scallion pancake, I feel extremely happy and satisfied. It’s as if I’m flying in the sky. It’s such a good feeling.”

The reporter smiled and thought that there was definitely a problem with the scallion pancakes.

“Alright, thank you for your cooperation. Looks like I have to interview more people to find out,” the reporter said.

The youngster nodded as he left while continuing to eat the scallion pancake happily.

Then, the reporter waited for another customer and went to interview him. However, the answers that he got had a similar meaning albeit being slightly different.

There’s a problem, there’s definitely a problem.

It felt like they had been eating illegal drugs. Could it be that drugs were added to the pancakes? Then, he took out his phone, dialed a number and said, “Chief Zhang, I interviewed two people consecutively and they both said the same thing. I feel like there’s a big problem.”

“Yeah, I think there’s a problem too,” Chief Zhang said on the phone.
