Chapter 221 Egg Drop Soup!
Chapter 221 Egg Drop Soup!
Thinking of that scene, which was hailed as a modern-day open conspiracy, Shan Tianxie couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
However, after thinking it over, I realized that Gu Santong was one of our own, so there was no need to let him suffer like Teacher Cao did.
When Shan Tianxie said this, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and the entire scene fell silent.
The entire lobby of the inn fell silent instantly.
At this moment, even if a pin were to fall to the ground, it would probably be heard clearly.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied, and their thoughts were racing, yet they all seemed to be thinking the same thing.
Did they hear it correctly?
Soup and water actually refer to swill?
That proper chef uses swill to steam fish? The fish would all go bad if it was steamed with that stuff!
Li Dazui really isn't afraid of running into people with bad tempers.
Upon hearing this, Gu Santong, who had just reached out his hand, instantly froze in mid-air.
Then he quietly put the chopsticks back.
Just kidding, he'd rather eat that charcoal-grilled sow's trotter from before than this.
At least that one didn't smell like swill...
Although when I was in the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison, sometimes the food I ate was worse than swill,
But times have changed. What were the living conditions like before? What are they like now?
Now that we're out here, we can't just deprive ourselves of this kind of food, can we?
Gu Santong has never had the habit of forcing himself to endure hardship...
"Young Master Shan is right."
Seeing this, Li Dazui didn't hide anything and readily nodded in admission.
"I've been a cook for so long, and I've never been able to throw away the leftover soup from all these years of cooking. Instead, I've kept it until now."
"Just two days ago I simmered it into a thick vegetable soup."
At this point, Li Dazui paused, a look of rapture appearing on his face.
hiss......
Everyone present gasped in shock upon hearing this; what would it taste like if leftover food from several years were piled up together?
No one dared to even imagine it; they feared that if this thing were taken out, even a grandmaster would have to give it a wide berth.
Mei Niansheng looked even more bewildered, wondering if the martial arts world here was quite different from that in Jiangnan.
Leaving aside the old man in the blue robe, how come even a small-town cook has such unusual ideas?
He had been living in Jiangnan for so long and had never encountered anything like this before.
Li Dazui, unaware of what everyone was thinking, continued speaking.
"Fish steamed in this kind of vegetable broth is truly a masterpiece, perfectly seasoned and seven-tenths flavorful!"
"Only seven points?"
Hearing this, Tong Xiangyu really couldn't listen anymore.
He interrupted Li Dazui's endless chatter, asking anxiously, "What about the other three points?"
She was now extremely eager to know where the remaining three points from Li Dazui's lousy project had gone.
She had to see it completely destroyed before she could feel at ease!
"The other three?"
Li Dazui gave him a look that said, "Shopkeeper, you know your stuff," before directly lifting the lid behind him.
"Ta-da! Here it is, shopkeeper! Egg drop soup!"
Tong Xiangyu mustered all her strength, stood up, and looked up.
The broth of this "swill and egg drop soup" was a very cloudy, dark yellow color.
And there were also a few scattered, shapeless egg droplets floating on the surface, glistening with specks of oil... It looked so unappetizing that it made people hesitate to approach it.
"This...this is the remaining three points you were talking about?"
Tong Xiangyu felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, her face filled with disbelief, and she asked with a wry smile.
Looking at the dish before her, she seemed to have lost all strength and ability.
She didn't know how Li Dazui had the courage to serve this bowl of "swill and egg drop soup".
And it was all done in front of Shan Tianxie and the others, as if they were afraid of being outdone by Yihonglou.
She still vividly remembered the way Manager Sai looked at Young Master Shan...
"Shopkeeper, don't underestimate this soup."
Determined to defend his creation, Li Dazui explained, "This soup is a culmination of the best dishes from our inn over the years. Every bite is incredibly flavorful!"
"Stop! Stop..."
Tong Xiangyu slumped into a chair, waving her hand with a wry smile, then said listlessly, "Bring dessert, Big Mouth..."
"okay!"
Seeing this, Li Dazui no longer hesitated and decisively lifted the last lid.
"Dessert: Rock Sugar Braised Pork Intestines!"
"it is good!"
Seeing that all of Li Dazui's dishes had been presented, Bai Zhantang, who was standing to the side and was eager to see more excitement, took the lead and shouted, "Applause!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie clapped and agreed, showing great respect.
After watching such an interesting show, we should definitely give them a round of applause to show our appreciation. We've had a great time today.
Seeing this, Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi exchanged a brief glance, and in a split second, they also started clapping.
They were afraid that if they were too slow to clap, the young master would notice.
The inn's lobby erupted in applause; anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was an awards ceremony.
Tong Xiangyu, however, remained smiling and made no move, simply watching her companions quietly.
A moment later, after everyone had stopped clapping.
"Very good, extremely good, very good..."
Tong Xiangyu smiled and said with a hint of deeper meaning, "Seeing my guys so united makes me, as the manager, very gratified."
The people at the inn were still unaware of the seriousness of the situation and were all smiling.
However, Tong Xiangyu then made a decision that surprised everyone. She pointed to the dishes on the table,
"Eat it."
"what!"
Upon hearing this, the staff at Tongfu Inn were instantly dumbfounded.
Bai Zhantang and the others looked at each other, stunned. What was going on?
Seeing that the waiters were hesitant to eat, Tong Xiangyu raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Don't just stand there, eat..."
Everyone in the inn looked embarrassed. Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu felt a surge of anger and slammed her hand on the table.
"eat!"
Everyone jumped in fright when Tong Xiangyu slammed her hand on the table.
I quickly picked up my chopsticks and started looking for dishes to eat, but I ended up eating very few.
Tong Xiangyu rolled her eyes at the group of guys, then gave Shan Tianxie an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me, Young Master Shan. Why don't you go to the Yihong Restaurant across the street for dinner today?"
"It doesn't matter."
Dan Tianxie waved his hand. He was in a good mood. He had watched the show he had been looking forward to and even tried some bizarre cuisine.
After Mei Niansheng has rested for two days, it will be time to start treating Gu Santong's internal injuries. Everything is steadily improving.
Hua Ruling's birthday seems to be approaching soon; shouldn't we head somewhere in advance?
