In the dumbfounded old man, soon Ma Tianyao's puff pastry was finished. She picked up five puff pastry she made from the pot and handed them to the old man one.

"Uncle, please try it, how does this taste compare to what you made?"

The old man used chopsticks to hold the golden crispy puff pastry and took a bite. This bite made the old man doubt his life...

...

Before leaving, Ma Tianyao insisted on paying for the shooting and told the old man with a smile.

"Uncle, don't worry, nationality is the world's, and the inheritance of pine pastry will not be broken. One day, people across the country and the whole world will know Afang snack bar and pine pastry!!!"

After leaving Afang snack bar, Ma Tianyao took Director Xu and his group to a store dozens of meters away and stopped.

This store is called ‘Awei Guokui’!

Director Xu and his group were about to enter, but were stopped by Ma Tianyao.

"Director Xu, this is different from other stores. Look, there are no tables and stools inside..."

"What does this mean? Could it be that you are not doing business yet?"

"It's not that you don't do business...why..."

Ma Tianyao touched the back of her head, organized the language, and explained again.

"Although this kind of store also belongs to the catering industry, it does not receive customers. You can understand them as factories or workshops. They specialize in producing and wholesale Tangling Guokui for other stores, so outsiders do not allow them to enter. I will communicate with the boss first to see if they are willing to let us take pictures!"

Director Xu nodded, Ma Tianyao raised his foot and walked to the door of Awei's Guokui. From outside, you could see two rows of stoves in the hall, and three or four workers were making Guokui.

A middle-aged woman in a chef's uniform showed a puzzled look when she saw Ma Tianyao, walked over slowly, frowned and asked.

"Is there something wrong?"

Ma Tianyao pointed to the camera outside and quickly explained the purpose of the visit. Sure enough, the other party just listened roughly, then frowned and began to wave his hand impatiently to refuse.

Seeing that the other party was about to turn around and leave, Ma Tianyao quickly took out a stack of banknotes, which could cost about seven or eight hundred yuan.

"Sister, we have paid for shooting. Look, if the money is not enough, you can add it!!!"

Money can make ghosts...

The woman's expression immediately changed when she saw the money. At least her frown no longer frowned, but she still didn't agree to Ma Tianyao, just looking at it.

After a while, she hesitated and shouted inside, then walked out a middle-aged man holding a teacup and whispered something in his ear.

The middle-aged man nodded, walked to Ma Tianyao with a grin, asked about something, and finally nodded in agreement.

"The shooting is OK, but it cannot affect our workers. We are rushing to work..."

What surprised Ma Tianyao was that the man finally agreed to the filming, but did not charge her money.

After the shooting team entered, Ma Tianyao stood in the middle and introduced while shooting.

"The appearance of Tangling Guokui is round, with the sides of the bun being pressed into radial ripples, one high and one low, and the fire color is uniform, and it looks like a large chrysanthemum pattern. Its distinctive features are that the heart is thin and the edge is thick, the surface is bulging, the steamed bun is dry and crisp, and the color is beautiful.

Breaking it apart with your hands, it is clear in layers; cutting it with a knife, it looks like oil. It smells fragrant and tastes crispy, with endless aftertaste, hunger-resistant, storage-resistant, and easy to carry.

In addition to these characteristics, the things that make Tangling Guokui are also very different from those that make ordinary Guokui. Look, the ones that make Tangling Guokui are now called Shanxiao! This kind of Shanxiao is different from ordinary Shanxiao.

This kind of lens is called chrysanthemum glass, which is specially customized for the production of Tangling Guokui. The surface is not flat, but has a chrysanthemum-shaped protruding pattern. The general purpose of this design is, first, for the sake of beauty and good looks, second, for the sake of fast maturity, and third, it also serves as a unique log mark.

Tangling Guokui also has its own unique requirements when making it. Each must be heavy, not big, not small, not thin, not thick! As for why, I will talk about it later!!!”

...

Although Tangling Guokui is also one of the four treasures of Heishui County, it has many people who can make it so far because of its simple production, good taste, and storage resistance.

The wholesale site called "Awei Guokui" has not made outstanding production craftsmanship, and they are not particularly willing, so Ma Tianyao just gave a brief explanation and led the team out.

After she came out, she took people directly to another restaurant! Sijichun Restaurant!!!

"Mr. Ma, are we... going to have lunch?"

Director Xu was a little confused and thought to himself that he had just eaten. Why did he come to the restaurant again? Ma Tianyao smiled and didn't say anything, but got up to buy a ticket for a few people, then brought a bowl and a pot of wine.

"Tangling Guokui? This shop also sells Tangling Guokui?"

Seeing Tang Ling Guokui in Ma Tianyao's hand, Director Xu and the others showed suspicious eyes at the same time.

Ma Tianyao explained with a smile.

"Although this restaurant is called a restaurant, it only sells mutton soaking buns. Although there are no mutton soaking buns in Sibaoli in Heishui County, it has to be said that mutton soaking buns are also one of the special snacks in Heishui County. In the county town, there are many such special ‘restaurants’, such as this one, which looks inconspicuous, but actually has a history of forty or fifty years.

When I wake up in Heishui County, I eat soaked buns in the morning, it is like going to Beijing to work in the bathhouse. It has become a habit of living.

What’s more special is that no one agrees and no rules, but all the soapmo restaurants in Heishui County only sell in the morning and noon. After lunch, all the stores will be closed collectively..."

"Why is this?"

Director Xu asked, and Ma Tianyao shook her head, pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"I don't know either. It may be like a yellow enamel basin, no one discussed it, but people across the country use it to fill lard..."

Director Xu nodded and scratched his head and asked in a low voice.

"This mutton steamed bun...it seems to be available in all cities and counties in Qinxi Province?"

"Haha, but Heishui County is the most special. Of course, we are not shooting mutton steamed buns in this period. You will know why we come here in a while."

After Ma Tianyao finished speaking, she mysteriously began to break Tang Ling’s pot and throw it into the bowl, and then explained to the camera.

"In Heishui County, no one can chew Tangling Guokui. The only function of Tangling Guokui is to be used to make mutton soaking buns! This is also the fundamental reason why mutton soaking buns in Heishui County are different from other places!!!

Although there are mutton soaked buns in other places, most of the cooked buns are steamed buns, Baiji buns, etc., and the steamed buns will spread out when they are cooked. Although Baiji buns are more dense than steamed buns, they are also more absorbent, which will cause a poor taste.
