Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country

Chapter 735: Chapter 635: Triple Delight of Iceberg, Lava, and Iceberg Lava Chocolate

Wang Fan’s chocolate has completely melted.

To ensure that the food enthusiasts who have come all the way can taste the perfect texture of the iceberg lava chocolate, he even sifted the chocolate liquid once again.

The silky chocolate liquid flowed through the fine mesh into the mixing bowl.

He poured the custard prepared by his second uncle into the bowl. Interestingly, although both were very smooth sauces, once combined, they became a texture similar to red bean paste.

Seeing this, the food enthusiasts who were watching the cooking process with wide eyes couldn’t help but worry.

"What’s going on here?"

"It felt so smooth just now, why did two smooth things turn sticky when combined?"

"Is this a Northeast specialty? Even the chocolate sauce is sticky?"

"Could it have gone wrong?"

"Could it be a case of two negatives making a positive? So, silky times silky equals super-silky?"

The discussions around him couldn’t affect Wang Fan; he knew this was just a simple and normal oil-water separation phenomenon, nothing to panic about.

The cream nearby had already been heated to 50 degrees. The oversized cream pot was obviously quite heavy, and only someone with an arm like Wang Fan’s could lift it with a single arm.

The cream was poured into the bowl, and Wang Fan patiently stirred again. With the incorporation of the cream, the chocolate, custard, and cream re-mixed, and the previously extremely silky state appeared once more.

"Wow, it feels like magic; one moment it’s silky, the next it’s sticky, and then it’s silky again."

"If you don’t understand, just call it magic."

"Yeah, you could also call it magic, just like those amazing moves Boss Wang did on that cooking competition, just like magic."

"I still watch that show often, hoping for more such competitions. I’ve watched my video so many times it’s worn out."

"Me too, me too, I really love watching it, much more interesting than those TV series and variety shows."

At this point in the conversation, a fan boldly said to Wang Fan, "Boss Wang, will you participate in such competitions in the future? We all really enjoy watching your culinary performances in competitions."

As soon as this was said, it resonated with many, who started to share their stories about Wang Fan one after another.

"Boss Wang, if there’s an opportunity, please participate again? Watching your show lets me relieve a day’s worth of work stress instantly."

"I instantly feel life isn’t that hard; there’s delicious food and scenic fields afar."

"I love watching it before going to bed, and after watching, I don’t think about anything else, and my dreams are sweet at night."

"I like sending those videos to my best friend before bed, and now she’s gained 10 pounds, but I’ve sent so many she seems immune now, hoping for something new."

Hearing what everyone said, Wang Fan felt quite moved. He himself wasn’t really keen on participating in competitions; he preferred recreating and creating freely over following rules. But with so many people’s expectations, he couldn’t directly refuse.

"Let’s see if there’s a chance."

Hearing Wang Fan’s response, many people smartened up.

This wasn’t a definitive no!

As long as it wasn’t a definitive no, there’s hope!

Among the food enthusiasts, there are many hidden talents and professionals, and they were already calculating which competition would be suitable. If they could invite Wang Fan, the attention would definitely skyrocket.

After saying a word, Wang Fan poured animal butter into the mixing bowl, but rather than calling it a bowl, it’s more apt to call it a pot. Its size was already on par with the iron pot used in restaurants for stewing large geese.

The addition of butter made the chocolate sauce even silkier, yet he wasn’t satisfied and sifted it once more, leaving those hidden among the crowd, preparing to learn his craft, amazed.

"No wonder his dishes taste so good. The preparation is so meticulous!"

"The last time I was this meticulous was when I was still trying to impress my girlfriend."

"My mind says I’ve learned it, but my hands say I still need practice. Should we ask Boss Wang for advice once he’s free? Would he teach us?"

"You’re kidding, right? Without the exact ratios and temperatures for each ingredient, it’s impossible to truly learn just by observing."

"If nothing else, we can pay to learn; once mastered, you can earn more than you spent."

Once the lava chocolate was introduced, it became a global sensation. Although it lost to Wang Fan’s Snowy Flowing Sand in the competition, it didn’t affect people’s love for it at all.

But currently, apart from the restaurant where Durand works, only the two largest chain cake shops do well in making it.

If one could really master it, there’d certainly be no shortage of customers.

"Boss Wang’s version is a more advanced one, iceberg lava, it even sounds fancy."

"I just wonder how much Boss Wang will sell it for; it doesn’t look cheap."

Wang Fan had already started signaling to the store. The sneaky five-member group quickly brought out the pre-baked cookie cups when they saw Wang Fan gesturing.

Though the cookies were delicious, the five of them were measured; each only snuck two pieces.

Wang Fan filled a glass pitcher with a spout with the chocolate sauce and began evenly pouring the chocolate sauce into the cups, each about 5 centimeters thick.

Among them, one mold was particularly special, a square made with parchment paper.

"185 degrees, 5 minutes and 55 seconds, heat this square mold separately first."

Less than 6 minutes went by, not long at all, and soon Zhuo Qianqian came out holding the square mold.
