Chapter 2292: How to verify true feelings
Translator: 549690339
unable to care about anything else, seeing such a familiar dish, qiao hongtao directly reached out his chopsticks and picked up a slice of mantou. the first slice was not dipped in sauce. only by eating it like this could the most original taste of mantou be tasted.
he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but when the chopsticks touched the mantou, there was a clear and crisp sound, as if it was a natural sound made by the fried crisp.
qiao hongtao raised his eyebrows and had a guess in his heart. the speed of his hands was not slow, and he directly picked it up and put it to his mouth.
“ka cha!”
with a crisp sound, the mantou slices broke. logically speaking, after the fried mantou had been fried in hot oil, no matter how good one’s skill was, there would be a little greasiness. this was why it was combined with the spicy sauce. at least, qiao hongtao had eaten so many fried mantou before. those with good skills had less greasiness, and they might only feel tired after eating more than half of it. some with poor skills could feel it after the first bite.
however, the fried mantou in his mouth was completely different. it didn’t feel greasy at all. it had a crisp and fragrant texture. there was only a loose feeling after being processed with oil, and a little bit of the fragrance of oil. it was dry, crisp, and had a rich fragrance. there was no other feeling.
“it’s that good?”
qiao hongtao didn’t believe it. he picked up another piece and stuffed it directly into his mouth without dipping it in sauce. the same crisp and fragrant texture hadn’t changed at all, and it was still as delicious as the first piece.
wu yungui and jiang changxi, who were at the side, took advantage of the gap when the dishes were served to have a feast for their eyes. they looked at qiao hongtao’s face that was full of doubts about life and an appearance that was so intoxicated that he ate one slice after another. he even forgot the sauce at the side.
“it seems that he is another person who has been conquered by boss yuan’s superb craftsmans.h.i.+p.” wu yungui had an expression of “i knew it.”
although he had expected this situation, qiao hongtao’s change in expression was still very interesting. it was worth the ticket price.
as for jiang changxi, she also squinted her eyes in satisfaction and sat on her seat lazily. she didn’t sit in the very proper way of a lady nowadays. instead, she sat in a lazy and elegant manner. at first, she wanted to take a picture to keep this scene as a entertainment, but later she put away her mobile phone. she didn’t like to take pictures.
after wu yungui had enough of admiring the change in expression, he had the idea of taking a slice of qiao hongtao’s mantou. he secretly reached out with his chopsticks and picked up a slice and put it in his mouth. after taking a bite, it was crunchy and delicious.
by the time qiao hongtao came back to his senses, he found that the plate was empty, without even a trace of oil. the clean plate seemed to have never been filled with anything, and the only thing left was the sauce that seemed to have been eaten half.
“did i eat the sauce just now?” qiao hongtao still hadn’t recovered from the crispy and delicious taste and was a little dazed.
as for whether he had eaten the sauce or not, he was very confused. he seemed to remember that he had not eaten because his tongue could not remember the taste of the sauce. but if he had not eaten, how could there be less?
he looked doubtfully at wu yungui, who was sitting upright and still. he didn’t find anything unusual, so he reached out his chopsticks and tried to dip them in the sauce.
wu yungui, on the other hand, felt that it was a pity. if qiao hongtao had woken up a little later, he would have been able to finish the delicious sauce by himself. what a pity.
someone once joked that if one wanted to verify their feelings, regardless of friends.h.i.+p or love, one could come to master chef restaurant. if the other party could share boss yuan’s dishes with you, it would definitely be true feelings!
on the other side, qiao hongtao put the chopsticks dipped in sauce into his mouth. first, a sour and spicy taste exploded on the tip of his tongue. it was not a very strong taste, but it was just so refres.h.i.+ng. it was neither salty nor light, and the taste was just right. if it was dipped in the mantou slices, the taste should complement each other, but eating the sauce alone would also have a different flavor.
it was such a delicious taste that made qiao hongtao even more confused. he was sure that he had not eaten the sauce, but there was too little sauce. he looked suspiciously at wu yungui. without any evidence, he did not say anything.
“i’ll order another plate of mantou slices to go with the sauce. it’ll definitely taste different. ” after qiao hongtao made up his mind, he waved his hand, planning to call su ruoyan over to order some food.
“do you want to order another fried mantou?” for the sake of the fried buns and spicy sauce, wu yungui intended to stick to his image as a good partner in china.
“the taste is pretty good, and it’s authentic Singapore flavor. mr. jiang is absolutely right.” qiao hongtao was also someone who knew how to get things done.
he smoothly explained the slightly awkward situation from before.
“you’re right, but this restaurant has a rule. each person can only order one dish for each meal. the rule is there. ” wu yungui pointed at the wall and said.
with a slight tilt of his head, qiao hongtao saw the rules one by one. his eyes were still very good, and even from a distance, he could still clearly see the writing on it.
“i can’t order anymore?” qiao hongtao was a little disappointed. he had wanted to try the taste of the mantou dipped in spicy sauce.
“i can order one for you. how about we split it in half?” wu yungui revealed his true intentions.
if it wasn’t for the fact that he had ordered a lot of dishes before and he couldn’t guarantee that he could finish it with just one serving of mantou, he would have done it himself for fear of being blacklisted.
as for jiang changxi, her appet.i.te was just that much, so there was no need to count on her help. it was only because qiao hongtao was cautious and only ordered three dishes that he still had energy to spare. that was why he was targeted by wu yungui.
When he first heard Wu Yungui’s suggestion, Qiao Hongtao’s first reaction was not to be happy, but to say,”my sauce was eaten by this guy. Maybe he also ate a lot of the mantou. I was wondering why there was so little food.”
Although he had already noticed it, in order to eat the fried mantou again, Qiao Hongtao did not show it on his face and directly said,””Then, thank you, CEO Wu.”
Then, Wu Yungui happily asked su Ruoyan to add a fried mantou.
“Boss Wu, what happened to your son?” Jiang Changxi asked out of concern for her business partner.
“That brat, I’ll teach him a lesson when we get home.” Wu Yungui laughed.
Seeing that, Jiang Changxi didn’t ask further. After all, although this matter wasn’t a secret, it wasn’t something that could be discussed in public.
His eldest son was not his biological son, but Wu Yungui still raised him as his own son even though he knew about it. Most people could not accept this.
Moreover, due to some unforeseen circ.u.mstances, many people in the real estate Circle knew about this. Wu Yungui’s att.i.tude was also very good. He could even come to the small restaurant and act like an older sister with Jiang Changxi.
He added that it was not that Wu Yungui’s wife had an affair. The matter was more complicated, and there was time to go into detail.
After chatting for a while, their dishes were served one after another. There was sweet sweet sweet and sour lychee pork, as well as the red and beautiful chopped pepper fish head, and then it was Qiao Hongtao’s candied pineapple caramel stewed egg.
As soon as the stewed egg was served, a sweet and slightly burnt smell swept through his nose. Qiao Hongtao knew that this was the smell of caramel being baked at high temperatures. Slowly, the smell changed from the strong sweet taste to a slightly sour and sweet taste, which was obviously covered by the sweet taste. If one didn’t smell it carefully, one might not notice that this was the smell of the big tree pineapple.
In fact, big tree pineapple was what we often called pineapple. Although it looked similar to pineapple literally, the taste was quite different.
The large tree pineapple had a higher sweetness content, but the water content was relatively lower. With the addition of caramel, it was even sweeter.
The stewed egg was placed in a small white cup. A layer of brown caramel had condensed on the surface, firmly covering the color below.
Scooping it down along the surface, the thin layer of caramel broke, revealing the soft inside.
The yellow color was a little darker than the ordinary stewed eggs. The steam was still rising, and the sweet taste was even more intense.
Qiao Hongtao scooped up a spoonful of the stewed egg, which still had a bit of shattered caramel on it. As soon as he put it in his mouth, his eyes immediately widened.
