These past few days, many wealthy people have come to town to eat their tofu and bean cakes. Seeing well-dressed customers no longer surprises them, and they quickly serve tofu and bean cakes.
The guest with an affluent appearance ate very carefully, savoring each bite. He even opened the bag of seasoning spices, dipped a finger in it, and tasted it meticulously.
After a while, he told the shrewd-looking guest, "The flavor is fresh and aromatic, not overwhelming; this is the taste."
These two men were Manager Zeng and Chef Li from the Fugui Building in town. They knew about the business boom at the Gu Family's tofu stall on the Lantern Festival day, but they dismissed it initially, thinking it was just cheap countryside goods unfit for refined circles.
However, after the Lantern Festival, the tofu stall's business remained good, and many customers even bought their Fried Five-Spice Tofu and bean cakes to eat at their Fugui Building.
