“alright, please wait a moment.” after su ruoyan jotted down their orders, she went to hand in the menu.
gao haiyang and zhong xiaoxiao weren’t very familiar with each other, so they didn’t chat. they just did their own things.
zhong xiaoxiao tilted her head and enjoyed the occasional scene of yuan zhou cooking. then, she looked up at the painting on the ceiling. zhong xiaoxiao’s neck couldn’t stand it.
this was the benefit of many customers who came to the restaurant for a meal. most of the customers were laymen and didn’t understand yuan zhou’s actions or the feelings contained in wu hai’s paintings.
however, it didn’t hinder them from moving forward ... they didn’t have to exchange lines with each other anymore. it didn’t hinder them from appreciating yuan zhou’s smooth movements and the innocent beauty of wu hai’s painting.
gao haiyang looked carefully at the lunchbox he had brought and even reached out to touch the box. after making sure that it was still cold, he retracted his hand with satisfaction.
he placed the small thermal bag that he used to put the lunchboxes in on the ground. this was to prevent the bag from taking up space on the table and making it difficult to place the dishes. after all, he was not sitting alone.
in order to ensure that the lunchbox was cold, gao haiyang had stuffed a few bags of ice into the thermal bag. the temperature had not changed much, and he was very satisfied.
“let’s try the taste later. if it’s possible, i can bring something else to go with the sand crab juice next time. although i’ve never tasted the sand crab juice here, it must taste good since it’s boss yuan’s dish. ” gao haiyang pondered silently in his heart.
in less than two minutes, gao haiyang’s first dish was served. actually, it wasn’t really a dish. it was the soybean paste he had ordered.
before they even got close, a strong sauce smell drifted over. it was very pure and thick, and at the same time, it was mixed with a vinegar fragrance.
“what an authentic taste.” gao haiyang’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
the white plate was full of sauce. the plate was neither big nor small, and the white jade-like color of the sauce looked very distinct. it was an authentic reddish-brown with a luster.
......
after looking at the sauce, gao haiyang didn’t rush to eat. instead, he slowly brought the lunchbox in front of him and opened it carefully.
seeing gao haiyang’s actions, zhong xiaoxiao looked over with great interest. she was very curious about what he had brought to master chef restaurant to eat.
last time, zhong xiaoxiao saw someone bring a box of kebabs to eat with boss yuan’s beef mince. the kebabs were so delicious that she even wanted to try it. unfortunately, she didn’t have a place to bring her own kebabs.
there was also one time when she saw someone bring a bowl of fermented rice with eggs and pour a plate of blueberry jam into the bowl. zhong xiaoxiao didn’t feel good when she saw the little girl’s actions. she saw that the originally white clear soup with a little yellow egg flower was instantly dyed a beautiful blue. from the color, it looked like a black dish, but after thinking about it carefully, it should taste good.
This was the third time that Zhong Xiaoxiao had noticed a customer who had brought a lunchbox, so it was inevitable that she was curious.
“Pa da”
After the lid of the lunchbox was carefully opened, a gust of cold air rushed out. Zhong Xiaoxiao must have wanted to bring something cold.
Soon, the thing inside was revealed. The color was very dark. It seemed to be a combination of red and black. After mixing together, it was black and red. Anyway, it didn’t look very good. Even if there was an occasional light yellow, it wouldn’t be visible if the overall color was not dark enough.
Zhong Xiaoxiao frowned. This was delicious?
“May I ask what this is?” Zhong Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask when she saw Gao Haiyang pouring half of the sauce into the black thing.
“Sweet osmanthus red bean congee, a specialty of my hometown. It’s very delicious, especially when it’s added with the pure taste of the soybean paste served by boss Yuan. It makes you twice as happy.” As Gao Haiyang spoke, he sniffed at the smell with an intoxicated look on his face.
It was obvious that he was looking forward to eating it, but Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little scared.
Isn’t sweet congee supposed to be sweet? it’s delicious with salty soybean paste?
Zhong Xiaoxiao thought that she might have heard wrong. After Gao Haiyang introduced the food from his hometown, he immediately picked up his own spoon and started to eat.
He put the spoon into the porridge and stirred it a few times. When he felt that the porridge was stirred well, he scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
The Osmanthus red bean porridge prepared by Gao Haiyang was iced, so it had a cool taste as soon as it entered the mouth. Then, the sweet taste of the red sugar and the salty and fragrant taste of the soybean sauce attacked the taste buds together. The salty and sweet taste made people feel very stimulated. Coupled with the faint fragrance of the Osmanthus, the unique taste was very satisfying.
Originally, this sweet congee was made by Gao Haiyang himself. His congee cooking skills had stopped at the stage where he could make the rice and water thick and edible. Now, with the finishing touch of the soybean paste, he felt that the congee he made was at the level of a master chef.
“It’s delicious. My cooking talent is really excellent. It seems that I have been delayed by the game.” Gao Haiyang’s face was full of satisfaction.
One spoonful after another, she didn’t stop. Even though Zhong Xiaoxiao’s dishes were served, it was the first time she wasn’t so engrossed in eating, mainly because it was a little too exciting.
However, Yuan Zhou’s dishes were very delicious. Therefore, although Zhong Xiaoxiao found it hard to agree with Gao Haiyang’s behavior, it didn’t stop her from eating. She just ate and watched at the same time. Her eating speed wasn’t slow either.
At first, Zhong Xiaoxiao thought that the sweet congee with soybean paste was the limit, but the next scene refreshed her knowledge again.
After Gao Haiyang finished his congee, he licked the entire lunchbox clean, which showed how satisfied he was.
The Wu rice that Gao Haiyang had ordered was served.
Zhong Xiaoxiao had eaten the Wu rice before. She liked to sprinkle a thick layer of white sugar on the Wu rice and mix it well before eating. The fragrance of the Wu rice leaves, the fragrance of the glutinous rice, and the sweet taste of the White sugar made it very fresh and natural.
However, Zhong Xiaoxiao had been away from home for a long time and hadn’t eaten for a while.
Seeing the shiny black Wu rice and the layer of white sugar that almost covered the entire bowl, Zhong Xiaoxiao felt that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Wu rice tasted just like a normal person, which proved that it was just a preference.
Unfortunately, before Zhong Xiaoxiao could finish her sentence, Gao Haiyang moved.
He poured the remaining half of the soybean paste onto the White sugar. In an instant, the White crystal-clear sugar was immediately dyed with a reddish-brown color. The dark color covered the White, and soon the White disappeared.
Then, Gao Haiyang took the opportunity to pick up the chopsticks and began to stir the Wu rice. The originally black and shiny Wu rice was mixed with the sauce, and the color was a little hard to describe. It was black and yellow, but Zhong Xiaoxiao felt that she might not have the courage to try it.
“Does Wu rice taste good with soybean paste?” Zhong Xiaoxiao’s voice trembled.
“I don’t know, but I think it should be good. It’s sweet and salty. If it’s good, I can try mixing it with sand crab juice next time. Maybe it will taste better.” Gao Haiyang answered every question.
After answering Zhong Xiaoxiao’s question, Gao Haiyang picked up the spoon and was about to start eating.
