I would never eat something this smelly!
Song Ci picked up a piece and first smelled it.
"This stuff, it smells both fragrant and stinky."
Then he took a small bite, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it slowly.
[Stunned, what kind of adjective is 'both fragrant and stinky'?]
[Pickled tofu is definitely stinky, but the sauce is fragrant. When the two are together, isn't it both fragrant and stinky?]
Song Ci suddenly opened his eyes, then stuffed the remaining large piece of tofu into his mouth.
"Mmm... it's delicious. It smells stinky, but it doesn't taste stinky at all."
Village Chief ate a piece and instantly perked up: "The taste is good, I'll try another piece."
The Bosses of several shops were like Village Chief; after eating one piece, they wanted to pick up a second.
Soon, this plate of stinky tofu was finished by these few people.
Village Chief directly made the decision: "The aftertaste is endless. This dish can be learned. It can even be the signature dish of our snack street, unique and delicious!"
Surprisingly, none of the other Bosses objected.
[Is it really that delicious? Are you sure they're not just being supportive?]
[I think we can let those few guests try it. If they all say it's delicious, then it should be genuinely delicious.]
[That's right, that's right. Those few ran the farthest, but they are the most convincing.]
Seeing the plate kong kong ru ye (emptiness), Nan Ye went into the kitchen and brought out another plate.
He had guessed it would be like this long ago. This stuff gets more fragrant the more you eat it. With so many people, one plate would definitely not be enough.
Plus, he hadn't eaten yet, so he prepared a total of five plates' worth.
"You guys, aren't you really going to try it?"
Nan Ye waved to the 6 guests.
Gao Qilan and Li Jiong stayed put. Others had some thoughts but hesitated.
Only Situ Yanran, who trusted Nan Ye more, stepped forward: "I'll try it!"
"Trust me, it's absolutely delicious!"
"Okay!"
Taking the chopsticks from Nan Ye, Situ Yanran picked up a piece, then held her breath and directly put it into her mouth.
Suddenly, she paused, her eyes wide.
Strange, there was no stinky smell at all when put in her mouth, how magical.
It's really delicious. I didn't taste it properly just now, I'll try another piece.
This time, she was not so resistant, and she even smelled it. It didn't seem as stinky as she had imagined.
No, I'll eat another small piece.
Situ Yanran could no longer control her chopsticks and ate four or five pieces in a row. Only when a corner of the plate was empty did she realize.
She smiled sheepishly: "It's really delicious, completely different from what I imagined."
With Situ Yanran taking the lead, the other guests were eager to try.
Li Jiong called out to Gao Qilan: "Do you want to go try it?"
Gao Qilan's attitude was very firm: "You can kill me, but I won't eat something this stinky."
Li Jiong was also hesitating whether to take a bite, but then he heard Su Wen and the others shouting that it was delicious.
No way, I can't hold back!
He pinched his nose and picked up a piece, looking quite comical.
"Wow, it's really fragrant!"
After eating one piece, Li Jiong couldn't help but eat a second. As a result, half of the third plate was finished by him.
[Hahahahaha, it really is 'truly fragrant'. He was the one who ran the fastest and farthest this afternoon.]
[Looking at it this way, this legendary stinky tofu tastes pretty good!]
[It smells stinky, but everyone who has eaten it says it's delicious, how magical. I wonder when Feiyu Village will have this snack, I want to try it.]
[Want to try +1]
[Want to try +2]
...
[+10086]
later, Li Jiong picked up a piece and ran in front of Gao Qilan, insisting she try it.
Actually, Gao Qilan's curiosity had long been piqued by this group of people. She was just reluctant due to appearances and half-heartedly agreed.
In the end, she still took a bite.
That's right, the 'Truly Fragrant' series!
The program ended amidst the playful banter.
The snack of stinky tofu also spread throughout the country that night. Just how delicious is it?
It remains a mystery even now!
It is precisely because of this that the snack street in Feiyu Village later became another popular internet-famous check-in spot...
...
After returning, Nan Ye spent a day recording the two songs, "rice fragrance" and "Painting", and uploaded them to Penguin Music.
Due to the popularity of this program, it brought him a lot of traffic.
"""moonlight""" officially topped the new song chart, and decent also climbed to fifth place.
The other two songs reached the top 50 on the new song chart in just one day, which was very rapid.
It can be said that everything is flourishing.
TikTok broke through to 7 million followers, and Weibo also had 5.2 million followers. For Nan Ye, this was something he didn't even dare to imagine.
Having so many followers also meant that even if he didn't work, just by taking on advertisements, he would have a considerable income.
Nan Ye finally understood why so many people wanted to be celebrities; it's because making money is indeed simple.
An ordinary person working for half a lifetime doesn't earn as much as someone participating in a variety show once...
For participating in this variety show, Xia Shi helped him secure 300,000.
Then he also took on an advertisement for farm mountain spring water on the program. After singing "rice fragrance", he also took on an advertisement for Amuxi.
The two advertisements combined, after tax, were also around 700,000.
In other words, he earned 1 million from this variety show trip.
Although it's not enough to be extremely wealthy for a lifetime, it at least ensures that he will be well-fed and clothed for the next few years...
