“Head chef Yuan’s dishes are indeed worthy of Great Expectations.” Representative li had never doubted Yuan Zhou’s capability.
Even though he had never tried the dishes in the restaurant, it did not affect his judgment. Even the light Huaiyang or Cantonese dishes were so fragrant and moving, let alone the Hunan and Sichuan dishes, which had a stronger taste.
Little Wu nodded in agreement and didn’t say anything else. Instead, he whispered to representative li to confirm the afternoon’s schedule.
A post-it note was filled with what representative li had to do in the afternoon. At a quick glance, it was already nineo’ clock in the evening when he went back to rest. This was considered a relatively relaxed time, and he had arranged something in the morning.
“Dong Dong Dong”
Representative li tapped his fingers on the bar counter and thought for a moment.””Let’s follow this schedule. We have to finish today’s work. ”
“I’ll definitely finish it, representative. ” Little Wu nodded to show that she understood.
Obviously, he was used to representative Li’s desperate working style, so he was not surprised at all.
Little Wu suddenly recalled the dishes that representative li had ordered. Just as he was about to ask what was special about the dishes, he was attracted by a fragrance.
If you wanted to say that it was fragrant, it was indeed very fragrant, and it was a strange fragrance. It was an indescribable smell, but if you wanted to say that it was smelly, it was really a little. Anyway, little Wu had not smelled this smell in more than 30 years.
At first, he was not used to the smell, but the more he smelled, the more fragrant it became. He sniffed hard, and little Wu could not help but turn his head and stare at the plate in su Ruoyan’s hand, who was carrying the dishes over.
The surface was glistening with a hint of green, and it looked very comfortable. Little Wu stretched her neck to take a closer look. As su Ruoyan approached, the fragrance became stronger.
Although representative li didn’t perform as well as Xiao Wu, he wasn’t much worse. He closed his eyes slightly and smelled the familiar smell, as if he had returned to his childhood.
To be honest, when representative li was young, he couldn’t even eat eggs at will. At that time, chicken was an expensive thing in the common people’s families. Most of them were used to pay school fees, and it was also called the ‘chicken butt bank’.
There were also many people who exchanged their eggs for oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. To be able to eat an egg, it was usually on one’s first birthday. If there was a plate of fried eggs with folded ears, it was definitely something that would only be available when there were guests at home.
What left the deepest impression on representative li was when he was a child. His family’s fields needed cattle to be cultivated. He asked someone to help, and they only made a plate of golden fried eggs with folded roots. At that time, representative li, who was only two or three years old, was so happy that he went crazy. The delicious taste was left in the depths of his memory.
Now that he smelled the familiar smell, representative li felt as if he had returned to the happy moment when he had eaten the fried egg with folded ear roots for the first time when he was young.
“It’s this familiar taste. It’s a little bitter, like the taste of Chinese medicine, but it’s just so delicious.”
Representative li quickly picked up a piece of scrambled egg and put it in his mouth. He chewed slowly. The soft egg on the outside was very tender and smooth, and juice seemed to ooze out when he took a bite. However, when he went inside, he saw the shredded roots of the folded ears. Because they were chopped, the taste was even stronger. Coupled with the extremely smooth egg, they were extremely tender.
The strong fragrance rushed straight into the depths of his mind. Not to mention, it was quite refreshing. It was as if he was standing in a spring field, and hope burst forth. There was an indescribable sense of comfort.
Fried egg with folded ear root was a special wild vegetable in Sichuan Province. Of course, folded ear root was just a name for it in Sichuan. Its scientific name was chameleon plant. As a Chinese medicinal herb, although it didn’t have a strong taste when it was fresh, ordinary people couldn’t accept it. Just like durians weren’t liked by everyone, folded ear root was naturally the same.
However, representative li felt that it was delicious, especially when it perfectly matched the mellow taste in the depths of his memory. He felt that it was especially delicious.
Moreover, this plate of stir-fried eggs with folded Earls was really attractive. Each piece of egg was almost the same size, about the size of a thumb. Inside were the pieces of folded Earls, some of which revealed a little green. It looked very good.
Seeing that he was about to finish eating, little Wu picked up his chopsticks and put them down again. He really wanted to eat, but he really didn’t dare to. If he were to be made fun of in the future, he would be in big trouble. Even if he didn’t want to be made fun of, snatching food from the leader was something that required a lot of courage. In any case, little Wu didn’t have the courage to do that.
She thought so in her mind, but his hands didn’t listen to her, so every time the chopsticks were about to touch the plate, they were forced back by reason, and then they were bewitched by the fragrance, and they reached out again. This was a repeated cycle, but she didn’t feel tired.
It wasn’t until there were only four or five scrambled eggs left on the plate that representative li came back to his senses and saw Xiao Wu’s small movements.
Looking at the five pieces of scrambled eggs left, he reached out and picked up two pieces with his chopsticks, one in front and one behind, like a stick of candied gourd. Then, he looked at the remaining three pieces on the plate and said,””Little Wu, don’t stand on ceremony. You should also try the specialties of our Sichuan Province. You won’t be able to eat them anywhere else. Try it.”
As she spoke, she quickly put the two pieces of scrambled eggs on her chopsticks into her mouth and reached out to the plate again. This time, she only picked up one piece.”Two pieces should be enough for Xiao Wu to try. If she doesn’t like it, she won’t waste it.”
It was true that many people couldn’t accept the strange taste of the zheer root. It wasn’t wrong for representative li to think this way. He felt that he must be a generous leader who was willing to share the food with his subordinates.
When little Wu heard representative Li’s heavenly voice, he didn’t care about anything else. He picked up a piece of scrambled egg with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth at lightning speed. Then, he picked up the last piece with his chopsticks. He could finally eat in peace.
He was first shocked by the egg’s tenderness, and then he bit into the fine roots of the folded ear. The juice of the plant spilled out, and the strange fragrance immediately filled his mouth. At first, he was not used to it, but when he moved his teeth again, the egg and the roots of the folded ear collided with each other. The crispness and tenderness of the egg and the strange fragrance mixed together, and he felt a little overwhelmed as he ate.
He couldn’t describe the feeling. After eating one piece, he wanted to eat a second piece and a third piece. He was full of energy, but unfortunately, there was only one piece left. After stuffing it into his mouth, he looked at the White and clean plate, which seemed to have never been filled with anything. After confirming that there was no need to lick it, he could only give up the thought in his heart.
Just as representative li and Xiao Wu were lamenting that there were no more dishes left, a spicy taste swept through their noses.
If the fragrance of the fried egg with folded ear roots made people unable to stop, then this fresh, spicy, and fragrant taste made people drool.
This was definitely a physiological reaction to the impact of the spiciness. It was the You County dried incense that little Wu had ordered.
As the specialty of You County Xiang province, as more and more people knew about Hunan cuisine, its popularity was also gradually increasing.
The bright colors of red, red, green, green, yellow, and yellow gave people a warm feeling at first sight. Probably because the You County dried incense had been marinated, the fragrance after the spiciness was very everlasting, with the unique fragrance of marinade.
