Chapter 183 Yo yo check it out, give me a set of jianbing guozi!
And so, the instant noodle stall that used to have a long queue has now been divided into two lines.
Moreover, the line in front of the stinky tofu machine on the left kept getting longer and longer, even surpassing the line for instant noodles, winding its way out for more than five zhang (approximately 10 meters)...
Following instant noodles, another unique snack has quietly become popular in Heshun Town, gradually becoming a new hot choice.
Meanwhile, on Sifang Old Street in Sifang Town, this pedestrian street is always bustling with tourists.
But almost every tourist who passes by the "instant noodle stall" will involuntarily stop.
Firstly, such a bright and clean shop is truly rare; secondly, seeing the long queue in front of the shop always arouses people's curiosity, making them want to find out what makes it so unique.
At this moment, a huge, tall object suddenly appeared in the shop, attracting many curious tourists to stop and watch.
This rock sugar roasted sweet potato machine is completely different from the stinky tofu machine; it is accompanied by a rich, sweet aroma as soon as it appears on the scene.
The sweet potatoes have been pre-roasted on the self-service machine and are about to come out of the oven. In an instant, their aroma fills the air and wafts around...
In stark contrast to the fate of stinky tofu, the sweet potato roasting machine was an instant hit with diners upon its arrival.
After all, the rich, sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes is so enticing that people are drawn to it.
Just then, the sweet potato roasting machine let out a shout: "Don't miss out! Roasted sweet potatoes, rock sugar roasted sweet potatoes~ Sweet and soft, come and have a taste! Sir/Madam, would you like one?"
A tourist approached and asked, "How much are these sweet potatoes?"
"Sir, look at this coin slot. Insert six to fifteen coins, then press 'Confirm Order,' and you'll get a roasted sweet potato of the corresponding size. The bigger the sweet potato, the sweeter and tastier it is!"
As everyone looked over, they saw that the machine clearly displayed price lists for different sizes.
Some action-oriented tourists, finding the price acceptable, didn't hesitate to take out their coins and drop them in, eager to give it a try.
Someone tossed in ten copper coins, pressed the "confirm" button, and waited expectantly for the roasted sweet potatoes to come out of the oven.
The sweet potato machine has several round drawer holes on top, and each drawer contains a sweet potato that is being baked at a high temperature.
The machine will automatically select the appropriate drawer to dispense food based on the amount of coins inserted by the customer.
When the drawer is opened, the robotic arm, unfazed by the heat, immediately packs the freshly baked sweet potato into an insulated paper bag and delivers it to the customer.
The roasted sweet potato I had just received had a golden-brown, slightly charred skin with an enticing sheen, as if covered with a thin layer of amber.
Several even cracks appeared on the surface, revealing the soft and sweet sweet potato flesh inside, and the glistening sugar stains left by the melting rock sugar were faintly visible, shimmering with an enticing light.
Before even tasting it, the enticing aroma has already awakened the taste buds, and the warm and rich scent lingers around the nose, making one's mouth water.
Diners are too reluctant to even tear the skin open, taking a bite directly. The outer skin is slightly crispy and crumbles with a gentle chew, releasing a subtle charcoal aroma.
The inside is soft and delicate, with the sweetness of sweet potato and rock sugar blended perfectly.
With its rich and layered flavor, sweet but not cloying, it makes diners who rarely taste such sweetness exclaim with delight after just one bite.
The aroma of the sweet roasted sweet potato itself is the best advertisement.
From then on, almost no one who passed by the shop could resist such temptation.
Since sweet potatoes are priced per piece, even tourists with limited funds can grit their teeth and spend six coins to buy a small one to try.
After all, most tourists who come here are willing to pay for delicious snacks.

"Yo yo check it out, give me a set of jianbing guozi~"
On the edge of the market near Qianfeng Wharf in Qianfeng Town, a unique shout suddenly came from a shop.
The catchy shouts instantly attracted the dockworkers who had finished work early.
"Isn't this a newly opened instant noodle stall?"
A worker walked toward the instant noodle stall with curiosity, turning to recommend it to his coworkers.
"Have you guys bought instant noodles from this company? I bought a few packs after work yesterday, and I ate them on the ship for lunch today. It saved me a lot of trouble getting off the ship to eat!"
"I saw Lao Guan eating this instant noodles at noon today. It smelled so good! Turns out this is the shop that sells it! Perfect, I'll buy a few packs too. I heard you can just add hot water and eat it..."
The other people in the group had never tried instant noodles before, but when they went to work today, they saw someone eating them with great relish. After asking around, they learned that it was a convenient food called instant noodles.
I was planning to come to this market after work to look for something, but I didn't expect to come across it right away.
The group arrived at the instant noodle stall, but were attracted by a huge square object next to it, which could even play music.
"What's this for? And why can it sing songs?" someone asked curiously.
"Hello, sir/madam, I'm selling jianbing guozi! Yo yo check it out, jianbing guozi, one set, please? I say jianbing, you say 'want,' jianbing?"
"Want some?" a dockworker instinctively responded, his rhythm swayed by the captivating tone...
"Alright, just insert six copper coins, and we'll make you a delicious and crispy Jianbing Guozi with an egg!"
Upon hearing this, the guest who had agreed was completely tempted. He took out his copper coin and put it in as instructed, wanting to see for himself what this jianbing guozi was really like.
"Order placed successfully, production to begin. Would you like spicy food?"
The entire operation of the Jianbing Guozi machine is transparent and visible, and is operated by a sophisticated robotic arm.
As they were talking, one robotic arm scooped a spoonful of batter onto the flat iron plate, while another robotic arm quickly scraped it into a uniform large circle with a scraper.
This amazed diners, who were astonished by the dexterity of the robotic arm. How could its claws be more dexterous than their own hands?
As he looked, he gestured with his hands, saying, "You can only eat a little..."
"Okay, I've got it. Which would you like to add, scallions or cilantro, or both?"
The snack machine is very intelligent; it chats with customers while making pancakes, asking about their taste preferences.
"Uh, add them all, I'm not picky..."
The group of people were all staring intently at the machine making jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) on the spot, completely absorbed in the sight.
In the short time it takes, the eggs have been quickly beaten with a spatula and spread on the pancake. Then, according to the customer's request, chopped green onions, sesame seeds and other seasonings are sprinkled on top, and the pancake is flipped over and fried briefly.
Next, place the golden-brown, crispy fried dough in the center of the pancake, spread sweet bean sauce and a little bit of chili sauce on top, and sprinkle with cilantro.
Finally, wrap the dough with an iron plate, fold it into shape, and pack it into an oil paper bag.
"Sir, your Jianbing Guozi is ready! Please enjoy it while it's hot! We welcome you to visit us again."
All eyes immediately turned to the jianbing guozi he had just received...
