Additionally, Lin Yuan boldly innovated and produced stinky tofu. Stinky tofu is essentially tofu that's been fermented until it grows fuzzy with mold. Despite the fuzz, it has a unique flavor – once fried, it's smelly yet fragrant and extremely delicious.
However, this type of food is naturally not something that everyone can accept.
When Lin Yuan was frying stinky tofu in the kitchen, nobody dared to approach. It wasn't for any reason other than the nauseating stench that was so overpowering it made everyone's heads spin.
Not only did the tofu shop reek of this odor, but even the neighboring houses were affected by the smell, prompting them to come over and ask if they had knocked over their toilet barrel. If it weren't for Shopkeeper Zhou standing at the door, I'm afraid everyone would have rushed in to help clean up the "overturned toilet barrel."
