Xiao Chen didn't know that Zhang Lingyan was planning to cut off his customers right after he was discussing how to increase his customer base with her. At that moment, he was fully focused on the clay pot in front of him. He had been cooking the pot of soup for three hours.
"It's almost done." Xiao Chen approached the clay pot and sniffed it. Then he lifted the lid of the pot. He looked intoxicated and nodded with satisfaction.
After leaving the kitchen, Xiao Chen found a table mat and placed it on the table in front of Zhang Lingyan. He then wrapped the clay pot in a towel and placed it on the table mat.
"Did you make a pot of soup for me? This is not the meat dish I want.”Zhang Lingyan looked at the clay pot in front of her. Although she didn't seem to approve of it, her eyes were filled with gentleness. After all, using the clay pot to make soup was enough to prove that Xiao Chen had prepared for this dinner for a long time.
"Drink it first. I didn't say that it was the main dish.”Xiao Chen waved his hand and placed a soup spoon in front of Zhang Lingyan before returning to the kitchen.
Zhang Lingyan looked at Xiao Chen's back as he left, and her lips curled into a smile. She carefully lifted the lid of the pot, and a fragrant aroma burst out from the pot, making her salivate.
"Quail Ginseng Soup? It was Old Fire Soup. This guy actually knew how to cook Cantonese food.”Zhang Lingyan only needed one glance to identify the origin of the soup and the type of cuisine it belonged to.
However, after knowing the name, Zhang Lingyan's expectations for the soup did not decrease. Instead, she became even more interested. After all, she had experienced the cooking of famous chefs before. Now, she wondered what kind of new experience Xiao Chen's soup would bring her. Would it be comparable to the cooking of those century-old chefs?
After scooping a bowl of soup into the bowl, Zhang Lingyan took a spoonful and blew it in her mouth for a moment. Then, she put the soup into her mouth. The moment the soup entered her mouth, she closed her eyes.
The most primitive fragrance of the quail was outlined to the extreme by the simple oil and salt. The soup had an endless aftertaste. It was sweet and rich, and even his taste buds seemed to be surrounded.
"This guy, why does such a simple bowl of Quail Ginseng Huaishan Soup taste so layered? Is he deliberately showing off? It was even an exclusive recipe. This taste was even more seductive than those from old soup shops. It was too illegal.”After a mouthful of soup, Zhang Lingyan felt a warmth in her stomach, as if she had been basked in the sun for three to nine days.
What surprised her even more was that this simple soup had become more interesting in Xiao Chen's hands. There were only quail, dangshen, and yam, but the taste of dangshen and yam was completely integrated into the quail. There were even some other flavors that Zhang Lingyan could not create. Although they were very weak, they could not be ignored. They created a more complicated and delicious taste fog.
The entire bowl of soup was instantly sent into Zhang Lingyan's mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed into her stomach. Zhang Lingyan greedily licked the remaining soup by her lips and scooped another bowl for herself. Clearly, she was completely conquered by this bowl of soup.
Looking at Zhang Lingyan drinking the soup, Fatty Di silently took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes. He looked in Zhang Lingyan's direction and realized that he wasn't mistaken. The woman opposite him was really drinking the soup, and it was the soup made from the clay pot.
"Is this beauty the boss's girlfriend? There's actually a small stove." Fatty Deeny saw Zhang Lingyan's satisfied expression as she drank the soup. Although she felt that this face was somewhat familiar, she did not recall where she had seen Zhang Lingyan before. Instead, she was wondering why Zhang Lingyan could taste something completely different from the menu.
"Alright, the second dish is here. You must finish this bowl of rice.”A moment later, Xiao Chen came out with two big bowls. One was a bowl of sea fish, and it contained two round meatballs. The sweet fragrance of the meat could be smelled from afar. As for the other bowl, it was impossible to see clearly. It was only when the bowl was placed in front of Zhang Lingyan that she realized that it was yellow rice.
"Yellow Grain Rice?" Zhang Lingyan looked up at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Yes, Yellow Grain Rice." Xiao Chen nodded.
"You even specially bought Yellow Grain Rice for me?”Zhang Lingyan looked at Xiao Chen with a strange expression. After all, not many people in this city ate this kind of rice. It would take a lot of effort to buy it.
"It was just convenient." Xiao Chen replied casually. He had bought it by accident at the market. Originally, Xiao Chen had planned to use millet as Zhang Lingyan's main food, but after obtaining the Yellow Grain Rice, Xiao Chen had completely ignored millet. Although it was expensive, it was all paid by Zhang Lingyan. Xiao Chen had not let down Zhang Lingyan's deposit.
However, Zhang Lingyan didn't know that Xiao Chen was really as good as he said. She thought that Xiao Chen was just being humble. Her gratitude and affection for Xiao Chen rose to a new level. Holding the bowl of Yellow Grain Rice, she could feel the warmth in her heart even before she ate it.
It had been a long time since Zhang Lingyan had experienced the feeling of being cared for and cared for. The last time was when she was at home.
"By the way, because this meal is a special meal, the price is a little expensive. You brought enough money, right?”Xiao Chen suddenly said.
