2458 Let's eat first
“It should be enough. Usually, I’ll be full after eating three dishes. This time, it’s almost all meat dishes, so it shouldn’t be a problem. However, I’ll have to run two more kilometers at night to consume some energy.” Merchant Road muttered to himself.
It seemed like she knew what she was doing. Celebrities had to maintain their figures at all times, especially when they had a schedule. However, the temptation of master chef restaurant’s delicacies was irresistible, and even the business routes couldn’t resist the temptation.
“Have you thought of what to say to head chef Yuan?” Yang Hong asked after ordering.
As a manager, he had to play a role at this time. At least, he had to take care of trivial matters.
“No, I didn ‘t,” Caravans said.
Yang Hong choked. He didn’t know what to say. He was so excited just now. He thought that the trade route had been written in advance and memorized. He was planning to find someone to get close to him. After all this, it was just a lively talk?
“What do you plan to do?” Yang Hong felt that he could kill several people in a year.
“Let’s finish our meal first and experience head chef Yuan’s cooking skills. We can think about it later. Head chef Yuan won’t be free until the opening hours are over, so we can’t disturb him in advance.” The trade route did seem to be a good idea.
Prior to this, he had done some research on Yuan Zhou’s knowledge. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. In order to successfully film the movie, he had made sufficient preparations for the business route. Of course, the main thing was that he had collected all kinds of awards that Yuan Zhou had won since he opened the restaurant. He had found everything that could be found. He was also very familiar with the rules of the restaurant and didn’t seem to be a new customer. Of course, he didn’t know anything else.
“What you said does make sense.” Yang Hong said thoughtfully.
It was true that he was busy now, and it was impossible to disturb him without any consideration. There was definitely a limit to what he could do, so it was better to wait until he finished eating.
The main reason was that there was a very familiar scent that kept seducing him, so he couldn’t concentrate. It was best to go with the flow.
This familiar and rich aroma was naturally the fragrance of the five-spice fried meat. As a long-standing dish in Lu province’s Wei Wei city, its charm was irresistible.
Although he didn’t hear the smacking sound, Yang Hong felt that he couldn’t contain his drool just by smelling the fragrance.
“Fragrant!” Yang Hong couldn’t help but praise.
The merchant couldn’t help but salivate at the sight of such beautiful colors. They were fried to the right golden color and were as thick as a finger. Each one was placed neatly on a snow-white plate. The colors contrasted with each other, making them look particularly beautiful. Coupled with the rising heat and fragrance, they were really alluring.
At the very least, Yang Hong only had that plate of fried meat in his eyes and couldn’t see anything else. When the plate was placed on their table, he directly reached out to pick one up and put it in his mouth, even forgetting the chopsticks.
“Ka Cha!”
After the crisp sound, it was the crispy skin of the fried fish. After biting into it, it was the soft and juicy meat, as well as the full fragrance. It seemed to be marinated with some secret sauce. For Yang Hong, this kind of taste was probably a pure taste that he could only taste when he was around the stove as a child.
Yang Hong did not expect to be able to eat it here. It was a pleasant surprise. As he grabbed with both hands, a nostalgic smile appeared on his face, as if he had traveled back in time to the past.
After grabbing nothing again, Yang Hong finally recovered from his somewhat enchanted state. He looked at his clean hands and saw that there was no need to lick them. Then, he looked at the plate that was as clean as new. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
As for Shang Lu, who had sneakily eaten a few sticks of fried meat, he silently put down his hand. It was clean anyway, so it was impossible for him to find out.
Yang Hong only looked at the empty plate in a daze, probably because he was struggling with the problem of eating fast. When the new dish arrived, he had no chance to struggle anymore. The new dish was not his, but Shang Lu’s own.
The taste was different from the crisp fragrance just now. The dishes served were fresh and rich, and the color was bright and beautiful.
Liver was a special New Year dish in Jiangsu Province, and it was also a dish of special significance. Liver and officials were closely tied to fame and fortune. The harmony in the local accent became a dish that took The Omen.
In ancient times, it had almost become a dish that was a good omen for one to get a good reputation. Chinese people liked to be kind and win praise. It could be imagined that the liver was quite a popular dish among the people.
This dish was also the most popular dish on the business route. Just eating red braised meat alone would definitely make one’s weight explode in less than two days. However, this combination of meat and vegetable dishes, one meat and one vegetable, had the richness of the meat dish and the freshness of the vegetable dish. The perfect combination made people feel that it was very delicious, but the fat content was not as high.
At the very least, it was much cheaper than just eating meat. In addition, the taste was rich and delicious, so it was normal for merchants to like it.
There wasn’t any soup at the bottom of the deep plate, but the vegetables didn’t look dry. On the contrary, the small pieces that were tied up tightly were glossy and looked moist and full, which was very appetizing.
“Gudong”
Shang Lu couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He immediately raised his chopsticks and began to eat. That’s right, even if the first dish was ordered by Yang Hong, Shang Lu would still hold the chopsticks in his hand to save time and ensure that he could eat the delicious dish immediately, although he didn’t use it when eating fried meat.
He directly stuffed a small piece into his mouth, and the rich and mellow soup gushed out with just a little force, filling his entire mouth. Shang Lu couldn’t help but squint his eyes in enjoyment. Then, he gently bit down with his teeth. The fat of the pork, the refreshing taste of the water bamboo shoots, the fragrant glutinous rice of the pig liver, and the crispness and toughness of the small intestine were fully superimposed and mixed, giving people a perfect experience of compound.
For the first time, the merchant felt that he couldn’t even describe one percent of the dish’s flavor even though he was good at talking. It was simply too amazing. Several flavors overlapped with each other. When one flavor disappeared and one felt that it had reached its end, a new flavor would suddenly appear. The cycle repeated itself, giving people layers of surprise and making them unable to stop eating.
“I have to help you eat some. Otherwise, I’ll have to travel a long way back. As a manager, it’s my duty to help an artist manage their body.” Yang Hong’s eyes lit up as he looked at the beautiful dishes.
After silently presenting himself with a Dedication Award, he immediately picked up his chopsticks. He wanted to continue using his hands, but it was obviously not suitable. Then, he finally remembered using chopsticks. His hands were very fast and accurate, picking up a piece at a time and stuffing it into his mouth.
As soon as it entered his mouth, he was immediately conquered by the rich and rich taste. Holding on to the spirit of ‘if I don’t go to hell, who will?’, Yang Hong’s speed was as fast as an afterimage. He definitely wouldn’t let Shang Lu eat too much. He was really too dedicated!
Yang Hong’s speed was very fast, and the business route was not slow either. It only took a few minutes for the dishes to be swept clean. Looking at the equally clean plates, Yang Hong realized a problem.
Whether it was the fried meat just now or the liver now, the plate seemed to be clean after eating. Could it be that the merchant licked it when he was not paying attention?
