"Boss, you don't have any drinks to sell, do you?" asked Wang Ruoxi.

"Well, no, just tea and wine. ”

"Then I'll go buy milk tea and drink it. Wang Ruoxi stood up: "Boss, what flavor do you drink? ”

"Thanks, I don't need to. ”

"Fat brother, what about you?"

"Ordinary bubble tea will do. ”

"Then I'll go. Wang Ruoxi walked out the door.

"Do you like her?" Seeing the fat man staring directly at Wang Ruoxi's back, Liu Mang said coldly.

"Ah, boss, where are you going. The fat man was startled, and quickly turned his head, blushing to the base of his ears.

"I'm not stupid, I can see that. ”

"Okay, a beautiful girl like Mr. Wang will be liked by a man, isn't that normal?"

"It's normal, but if you like it, chase it, man, you should take the initiative. ”

"Please, with a look like me, the king can always take a fancy to me? What are you kidding?" the fat man gestured in a very exaggerated manner.

"Don't be presumptuous, the good-looking body is the same, and the interesting soul is one in a thousand, if you don't try it, how do you know?"

"Boss, this shell is not unavoidable...... I'm a little too fat. The fat man glanced at his fat belly and sighed faintly.

"That's not necessarily, I have a friend who is fatter than you, and didn't he marry a goddess in the eyes of many people in the end?"

"Really?" the fat man's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true. Liu Mang nodded, took out the ingredients that had been prepared early in the morning, and waited for Wang Ruoxi to come back and start making this 'magic mapo tofu'.

"I'm back!" After waiting for a while, Wang Ruoxi walked in from outside the store with two cups of milk tea in his hand.

"Ah, for you. Wang Ruoxi handed a cup of milk tea to the fat man.

"Thank you. The fat man poked the lid of the milk tea cup with a straw and took a sip, so sweet that his eyes narrowed.

"Alright, I'm going to start cooking. Liu Mang pulled an apron around his waist and twisted the switch on the stove.

Heat the pot and pour the oil, add the green onions, minced garlic, and chopped Sichuan-style bean paste and start stir-frying.

After the red oil is fried on the bean paste, Liu Mang puts in the minced and marinated beef foam that has been chopped and marinated in the morning. Wait until the beef foam is fried and white, immediately add a little bone broth and add salt, sugar, pepper, dark soy sauce and other condiments to taste.

After the bone broth boiled, Liu Mang poured the dice-sized tofu into the pot and simmered over the fire.

The tofu in the pot trembled under the action of heat, and the umami of the beef and the spicy taste of Sichuan-style watercress gradually penetrated into it.

Wait until the soup in the pot is dry, Liu Mang thickens it with water starch, puts it on a plate, and finally sprinkles a handful of green garlic leaf foam and peppercorn powder, and this 'magic mapo tofu' is completed.

"Please take your time. Liu Mang brought the tofu to the bar, turned around and served two bowls of rice.

"Wow!" Looking at the two servings of tofu on the bar, Wang Ruoxi and the fat man couldn't help but let out an exclamation in unison.

The tofu on the plate is green and translucent, wrapped in red oil and sauce, shimmering with a layer of crystal oil, seducing people's minds.

"Like...... It seems to really glow!" Wang Ruoxi picked up the chopsticks in disbelief.

"I guess it's because of the lights. The fat man picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and leaned closer to look at it.

Liu Mang is right, his 'mapo tofu' is completely different from the outside, in addition to the color of the tofu is green, the texture seems to be more elastic than other tofu, and the hand moves slightly, and it shakes on the tip of the chopsticks.

The tofu is tenacious, and when you bite into it, it gently pops open between your teeth.

Immediately afterwards, the spicy and peppercorn in the watercress wafted in the mouth, stimulating people's taste buds.

Chewing again, a vague fragrance emanates from the tofu and becomes more and more intense as the muscles in the cheeks move.

"Boss, what is your tofu made of? How can it become more fragrant the more you eat it?" it is incredible!" Wang Ruoxi covered her mouth and said in surprise.

"Yes, this aroma is by no means an ordinary spice!" The fat man swallowed the tofu in his mouth and thought for a while: "Light and elegant...... That's right, it's very elegant!"

"Oh, in this 'Magic Mapo Tofu', in addition to ordinary soybeans, I also added bamboo fruits. Liu Mang replied.

"Zhuguo? What is that? Mr. Wang, do you know?" the fat man asked Wang Ruoxi.

"No? I've never heard of it. Wang Ruoxi shook her head.

"Have you ever heard of bamboo blooming?" said Liu Mang.

"I've heard of it. The fat man nodded: "In our hometown, if the bamboo is dying, it will bloom and grow seeds." ”

"And that's the first time I've heard that bamboo blooms. Wang Ruoxi said curiously.

"It does, but a lot of bamboo doesn't bloom until 50 to 100 years, which is very rare. But when this bamboo blooms, it will only grow bamboo rice, so how can it grow fruit?"

"There is only a small chance that a hundred flowering bamboos will grow into bamboo fruits, and I only found a few by chance. ”

"That's a rarity!" the fat man savored the taste in his mouth, and suddenly slapped his head, and his face changed greatly.

"Boss, how much are you going to charge us for such precious bamboo fruits and dishes?"

"Uh...... Take that much. Liu held out a slap in the face.

"500!?" The fat man was startled at first, and then smacked his mouth: "It's worth the price, fortunately I just paid my salary, otherwise I would have to owe it first." ”

"Where do you want to go? I'm not running a black shop. Liu Mang glared at him angrily: "50 servings, of course, after eating this time, there will be no next time, because the ingredients are too difficult to find." ”

"Hehe!" The fat man laughed embarrassedly: "Boss, your conscience is very good! According to the degree of preciousness of bamboo fruits, if you change to other restaurants, maybe you will really charge 500." ”

"Eat yours, I didn't open a store to make money. ”

"It's not to make money, but what?" Wang Ruoxi asked again.

"I ......" Liu Mang knew that he had slipped his mouth, and only added vaguely: "I want to find my most precious thing." ”

"Fat brother, the boss must be a man with a story. After Wang Ruoxi listened, when Liu Mang walked to the back kitchen to clean up, he leaned into the fat man's ear and whispered.

"That is, with the boss's cooking skills, if he really wanted to make money, he would not open a restaurant in this corner. ”

With this mapo tofu, the fat man picked up five bowls of rice in a row, only until Liu Mang showed him the cleanly shaved rice cooker, and then he burped beautifully, and his face was still unsatisfied.

"Fat brother, is your stomach really not supporting?" Wang Ruoxi covered her mouth and snickered.

"It's okay, it's okay. The main thing is that the boss's dishes are so delicious, I can't help it. The fat man scratched his head embarrassedly: "That...... Mr. Wang, where are you going after eating?"

"There's nowhere to go, either go home or just hang out. ”

"Recently, a very popular comedy movie was released, have you seen it?"

"You mean "I Have a Date with Sadako"? I was just trying to see it. ”

"Do you want to come along?" said the fat man, twisting his body tentatively.

"Well, two people are more interesting to watch than one. Wang Ruoxi happily agreed.

"Ah, is it really possible?" Hearing Wang Ruoxi's agreement, the fat man was stunned.

"Absolutely. ”

"Okay, I'll buy the ticket right away. The fat man pulled out his phone.

"Boss, let's go. Wang Ruoxi picked up the bag and waved at Liu Mang, who was cleaning up in the back kitchen.

"Well, goodbye. ”

"Boss......" The fat man squeezed his eyes at Liu Mang with Wang Ruoxi behind his back, with a snickering of joy.

Liu Mang clenched his fists and made a lip gesture - come on.
