Today, after Li Shenxing cleaned the house, he had nothing to do while staying at home, so he thought about going out for a walk.

Fearing that he would not be able to come back on time at noon, Li Shenxing prepared lunch for the children at home in advance so as not to starve them.

However, Li Shenxing hasn't been to the cafe for a long time, so he first planned to sit in the cafe for a while and pass the time, and then go out to find something to eat when it's almost noon.

He drove to the cafe, opened the glass door and walked in, and asked Mi-young, who was not very busy at the counter, to give him a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and then he came to the window where he liked to sit down.

The weather today was very good, and the sun was not as cold as yesterday. There was no beauty wearing a short skirt passing by on the roadside outside the window, which made him pleasing to the eye. This made Li Shenxing feel a pity, wasting such a good sunshine.

Just kidding, Li Shenxing has no hobby for seeing beauties. In fact, he just stared at the scenery outside in a daze and was in vain.

After a while of being stunned, Li Shenxing felt a little bored, so he took his coffee to the lounge in the backyard to surf the Internet.

As soon as Li Shenxing walked into the backyard, the black cat named Gentleman got stuck.

"Go~! Go~! Let me tell you, don't fantasize about being with Mi (meow) Mi." After saying that, he left the innocent gentleman and went into the house to close the door and blocked it outside.

After taking a sip of coffee and putting it on the table, Li Shenxing reached out and pulled the notebook and opened it. Then he picked up the coffee and started drinking it. When it was cold, the taste would be much worse, so he should drink it while it was hot.

After drinking coffee, put it aside, open the web page and enter the food forum you often visit, log in to account.

"Oh~! Let's see what food they have for recommendations." As soon as Li Shenxing logged into the account, he found that some of the people he followed had new content updates.

"Bun Shop?" Li Shenxing raised his eyebrows. Click to enter his post and saw the detailed introduction of the bun shop and the store manager.

When it comes to the cold winter, Koreans generally think of steaming "steamed buns", but most of the Korean "steamed buns" are ready-made foods mass-produced by factories. They lack home-style flavor, so he recommends a Chinese restaurant called "Bun Shop" opened by a country, allowing Koreans to taste what authentic buns in my country taste.

"Bun Shop" is a bun shop opened by 27-year-old Zhang Haidong in Seoul with his friends. Zhang Haidong comes from Ha Nabei and came to South Korea alone to look for opportunities two years ago. His family is engaged in the diet industry. His main thing is buns. Before coming to South Korea, Zhang Haidong helped at his home bun shop, so he naturally learned how to make buns.

According to Zhang Haidong himself, their bun shop was just opened in September this year and is a brand they created. Since their family made buns, and the relatives of their entrepreneurial partners are also engaged in the catering industry. After detailed discussion, the two decided to open one bun shop in South Korea.

"Koreans like to eat buns, but the so-called Korean 'steamed buns' are relatively single in types and have completely different tastes, so I thought of bringing Chinese buns to South Korea to introduce them." This is what the store manager Zhang Haidong said.

Zhang Haidong compared my country's buns with Korean steamed buns and said that my country's buns fillings should have gravy and taste better. In addition, my country's buns use fermented noodles, so they taste relatively soft. In contrast, the fillings in Korean steamed buns have almost no gravy, so they taste dry.

Zhang Haidong introduced that the most popular staple food recommended by the bun shop, pot stickers are nothing more than the most popular staple food, and they are also the main ones recommended by the bun shop. In addition, there are meat buns and chaos, and tofu brain, which are also the main staple foods in the shop.

Zhang Haidong also said: "Koreans have clear tastes and don't like to eat greasy things. Therefore, customers generally like to eat pot stickers made in our house. Koreans also like to drink soup, so the chaos with soup is also very popular. Tofu Brain is more popular from women and the elderly. The tofu Brain they make is sweet and salty. What kind of food depends on their own taste choices."

The poster asked: As a foreigner, have you encountered any difficulties in opening a store in South Korea?

Zhang Haidong said that the biggest difficulty is how to allow Koreans to adapt to and accept the taste of their diet. When they first opened, they made many attempts because they didn’t know the taste of Koreans very well and failed many times. But now, the authentic buns have been slightly improved. The improved buns are basically in line with the taste of Koreans, but they are still in the running-in period and are slowly improving.

He specifically mentioned that the unique point of their buns is "filling". The stuffing of buns in this house is made up of a combination of the secret recipe passed down from his home and the filling method of Tiannao Goubuli buns. The buns are juicy and tender and smooth.

Zhang Haidong said: "After all aspects of the bun shop have stabilized, I still want to open a branch in South Korea. I am not so anxious to make a lot of money, as long as I don't lose money. Now I just want Koreans to feel satisfied after eating our buns, and I am satisfied. I also especially thank the residents of the nearby areas who often come to visit."

Whether it is a large city or a small town in my country, Korean restaurants are almost "omnipresent". At this moment, Zhang Haidong dares to "go against the trend" and come to South Korea to open a bun shop and challenge the Korean market. It is really rare.

After reading the introduction, Li Shenxing saw the photos taken. He thought that he hadn't eaten authentic Chinese buns for a long time, so he planned to go through this "bun shop" later. If he really wanted to be as delicious as the poster said, lunch would be solved in their store.

Li Shenxing looked at other recommendations, but nothing new, so he turned off the computer, took the coffee cup, and opened the door and left the lounge.

There was no sign of a gentleman in the yard, and I didn't know where to go, but this was not something Li Shenxing was concerned about. He walked through the yard, greeted Mi Ying, and left the cafe.

According to the address on the post, Li Shenxing drove to an alley not far from Mingdong.

Because it was an alley, parking space was difficult to find. Li Shenxing drove his car more than ten meters away before he saw an empty parking space.

After locking the car, Li Shenxing walked back and came to the door of the bun shop introduced in the forum. The door was decorated very simply and made of piece by piece of wood. The three big characters of the signature "Bun Shop" were written very cutely. There were some promotional photos of the store menu on the two glasses.

Li Shenxing opened the door and walked in. The area in the store was very small, and the decoration inside was clear at a glance. There was only a row of fixed seats and four tables against the wall. The paintings on the wall included the process of a chef making buns. In short, the feeling presented to Li Shenxing in the store was simple and clean.

Li Shenxing looked up at the menu hanging on the wall, ordered a meat bun and a vegetable bun, and a bowl of salty tofu brain. After paying the money and waiting for a while, he came to the seat with a tray.

Generally speaking, he prefers to eat sweet tofu brain, but when he eats, he doesn't like to eat sweet, so he changed to salty tofu brain. By the way, he hasn't eaten salty tofu brain yet~!

Li Shenxing picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat bun and took a bite. After tasting it, he nodded. It was indeed better than Korean buns, but because it was improved, it was not considered an authentic Chinese-style bun, which made Li Shenxing a little disappointed.

After trying the buns, Li Shenxing turned his attention to the salty tofu brain. He put a small spoonful of sauce on the snow-white tofu, as well as some seaweed, shrimps, shredded spicy cabbage, and finally scattered chopped green onions.

Li Shenxing stirred with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth and chewed it into his stomach. What do you think? It may be that Li Shenxing was used to eating sweet tofu brain. This was a bit weird for the first time, but after taking a few more bites, he felt that it was much better. It was not bad. It depends on whether his personal habits can adapt to it.

After a while, Li Shenxing took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and it was eleven:52.

He took out his cell phone and called Hyori, but the phone was not connected until the second time.

"Hu~Hu~Oba, is there anything wrong?" The microphone was filled with a breathing voice.

"Why are you still practicing? It's time for lunch?"

"Is that right? I forgot, I'll go for lunch later."

"I'll take it here for you. Today I went to try a newly opened bun shop, which tasted pretty good."

"Okay~! Then I won't order takeout, I'm waiting for Oppa to deliver food in the company."

"How many people?"

"I'm not practicing alone today. By the way, Xiao Xie is still in the lounge downstairs."

"Okay, I'll buy more of it."

"Okay, wait for a meeting."

After putting away the phone, Li Shenxing got up and walked to the sales window.

"Pack me two meat buns, two vegetable buns, two mixed vegetable buns, two bowls of wontons and a bowl of sweet tofu brain."

"Okay, please wait~!"

After waiting for ten minutes, Li Shenxing walked out of the bun shop with the packed stuff. It mainly took a long time to cook wontons. After putting all the things in the passenger seat, Li Shenxing drove to Hyoly Company. (To be continued.)
