Chapter 203: Youthful Boys and Girls
The freshly fried dough sticks were a foot long, fried to a golden hue, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside when bitten into.
The main reason this dough stick shop stood out was the quality of its oil—unlike other shops where the oil would be reused for days on end without change.
This shop, however, changed its oil frequently.
In the early morning, when it was still dark, the owner would set up the oil vat at the storefront and, right in front of the customers, open a barrel and pour fresh oil into the vat.
Frying oil, when reheated to high temperatures repeatedly, ends up containing lots of harmful substances.
Such issues weren't much of a concern to the common folk in the past, but in recent years, the media had started shedding light on them.
Therefore, although the dough stick shop was some distance from Chen Nuo's residential complex, if he wanted to buy dough sticks, he'd rather walk the extra steps to this place.
