Chapter 2512: Leaving silently
Translator: 549690339
“Phew …”
Weng Xin let out a deep breath. Her face looked more natural than before. She was no longer as dead as before and looked more human.
Zhong Xiaoxiao and man man, who had been secretly observing even when the dishes were served, finally put their hearts back into their stomachs. Fortunately, it wasn’t the same situation as Xiaoqing. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have cared so much and planned to rush up directly.
“Boss Yuan’s food is still more healing. It really tastes different.”
As soon as the burden in her heart was gone, man man immediately felt that the food in her mouth was even more delicious. Since they had already confirmed that the situation was not what they had imagined, they then pulled back their thoughts and began to eat the food that they had ordered more attentively.
Zhong Xiaoxiao naturally did the same.
No one paid attention to Weng Xin, but she didn’t change much either. She ate her food as usual and looked better every time she ate something with a familiar taste.
Weng Xin paused for a moment when she ate the Pearl pills that were as white as pearls. Compared to the previous dishes, this dish was more familiar. As soon as the sweet and sticky bean paste touched the tip of her tongue, it seemed to reach her stomach. The rich taste of Luzhou cellar slowly overflowed. It was indeed a dish specially made with wine.
The strong aroma of the wine made Weng Xin’s pale face blush, making her look even more beautiful. However, she did not notice it. Instead, she ate the pills one by one, as if she cherished them very much.
It was as if he was eating his last meal. His speed was extremely slow. After taking a bite, he chewed carefully, swallowed slowly, and then took another bite. He could be said to be the slowest in the store.
...
There were almost no people who could resist eating slowly when the food was in their mouths. Almost everyone who came to the restaurant to eat abandoned their original elegant gentlemanly manners and only thought about how to quickly and effectively eat the food into their mouths.
Weng Xin took a closer look and knew that he wasn’t eating slowly to maintain his image as a lady. Instead, he seemed to be savoring the aftertaste. The Pearl ball hadn’t even finished when the last dish was served.
To be honest, bamboo fungus liver cake soup wasn’t difficult to make. Almost everyone who had heard of it could make it, but whether it could be made well was another problem. It was just like boiled cabbage. Some people made it and it tasted greasy, while some people made it and it tasted very good.
Some people made it very exquisitely and elegantly, like a flower blooming in the water, while some people made terrible ones. Hence, when Weng Xin saw the bamboo fungus liver cake soup that was like a flower in full bloom, she was attracted.
Beautiful things always attracted people’s attention easily, and Weng Xin was no exception. The flower core was pink, and the tubular beige-white petals were dotted with what seemed to be green leaves. It was very comfortable to look at.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the flower core was made from steamed liver paste, and the tube-shaped petals were bamboo fungus that had been processed very well. Finally, there were some green vegetables as decorations. Floating in the light transparent soup, it looked like a bowl of delicate art instead of eating.
“Grandma Yan’s cooking wouldn’t look that good, but the color of the liver mud is similar. It must be delicious.”
Weng Xin suddenly thought of something and smiled in satisfaction. This was the first time she had smiled since she came to master chef Restaurant. It was like a flower that bloomed in the dark night, quiet and elegant.
“Ka Cha, ka Cha”
After finis.h.i.+ng the remaining two Pearl meatb.a.l.l.s in a few bites, Weng Xin brought the soup to her and sniffed it. An elegant fragrance spread around her nose.
Although it was called soup, the bowl wasn’t that big. It couldn’t be compared to the soup bowls that were used before. Instead, it looked like a normal bowl with blue patterns painted on the outside. It was a lively carp with its head facing the mouth of the bowl and its tail extended far as if it surrounded the entire bowl. Together with some other waves, it looked very comfortable, which highlighted the mellowness of the soup.
Taking a deep breath, Weng Xin picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful of soup. She looked serious, as if she was doing something important. As soon as the soup entered her mouth, the familiar taste slowly spread. Her expression changed from serious to joyful, and finally, it turned into relief, as if she had put down something. The more she ate, the more obvious her expression became.
In the end, it was like the sun that had broken through the dark clouds, with bright colors. His entire person was glowing with a kind of vitality compared to before, as if he had broken through some kind of limit.
“Did he successfully pa.s.s the Tribulation?”
Man man was a little curious about what Weng Xin had experienced during the short course of the dishes. She acted as if she had figured something out.
Weng Xin had indeed thought it through. She opened her eyes and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes glowed. This was how she really looked.
“Grandma Yan definitely wouldn’t want me to be like this. Even if I’m alone in the future, I should work hard to continue living. That way, I won’t have come to this world in vain.” Weng Xin felt more and more convinced.
“I didn’t expect head chef Yuan’s culinary skills to be so good. All the dishes he makes are so delicious and warm. He must be a person who likes good food like grandma Yan.” Weng Xin sighed with emotion while looking at Yuan Zhou who was busy in the kitchen.
After looking at the empty plates with a nostalgic look, Weng Xin took two steps toward the kitchen without any hesitation and stopped at a place where she would not disturb anyone. Then, she bowed deeply to Yuan Zhou in the kitchen and left without disturbing anyone else.
It was as if she had suddenly appeared and left very quickly, as if she had not taken a single cloud with a wave of her sleeve.
There were not many people who did the same thing as Weng Xin. The customers just looked at her curiously and continued eating. As for man man and Zhong Xiaoxiao, they were more curious. Even if they wanted to know more, Weng Xin didn’t give them the chance, so they could only bury their doubts in the bottom of their hearts.
When he noticed Weng Xin’s actions, he stood still for a few seconds and watched her leave the restaurant before he continued to cook.
As for the delay, Yuan Zhou naturally sped up a little to catch up with the progress.
Weng Xin’s departure didn’t affect the store’s progress. As time went by, lunch time pa.s.sed and it was time to end.
After sending off the last customer, Yuan Zhou washed his face and rinsed his mouth before he started to practice in the afternoon. For the past two days, Yuan Zhou didn’t practice his cutting skills. Instead, he was preparing some dishes with liquor. Firstly, he wanted to add some new dishes to the pub. After all, it had been a long time since new dishes were served. And as a boss who was very considerate of his customers, he naturally had to prepare for it.
Secondly, it was because of the wine Exchange. He felt that something was lacking just by putting wine on the table and having a drink with everyone. As a chef, he felt that he could also prepare the dishes that went with the wine.
In order to match the new wine, Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to bring out the ready-made dishes with wine. Instead, he intended to improve them so that it would be more in line with the purpose of communication. This wasn’t difficult for Yuan Zhou, but it was also something that needed time to do.
