âOkay, then I want to eat prawns tonight.â Gu Chenglin nodded.
âAlright, letâs go to a restaurant to eat that today.â After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he brought him into the carriage.
They rushed to their restaurant together.
Niu Fugui saw them coming over and immediately went up to them. âMaster, youâre here. Please come in.â
âIs there a private room?â
âNo, but the lounge is available. Why donât you guys eat there?â
âAlright, itâs just a meal. Itâs the same anywhere.â Zhou Ying agreed, and they followed him to the back. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When they arrived at the lounge, Zhou Ying ordered a serving of braised pork intestine, shredded yam, and stir-fried cole.
These three dishes looked simple, but they tested the chefâs skills the most. She could test if their skills had regressed.
âUncle Niu, letâs eat together.â
âThank you, Mistress, but maybe another day. I canât leave the outside unattended.â After Niu Fugui finished speaking, he took the menu and turned around to leave.
âCousin sister-in-law, is this braised pork intestine?â Gu Chenglin asked.
âYeah. Itâs braised in its juices.â
âWould anyone eat it at this prominent restaurant?â
âYouâll know when you taste it.
âOnly after you try it yourself can you know how it tastes. Donât listen to rumors.â Zhou Ying smiled.
âIndeed. Only you know if the shoes fit. Donât listen to others.â Gu Chengrui echoed.
This dish was his favorite. Unfortunately, Zhou Ying didnât cook it as often now, so he had to eat more later.
âOkay.â Gu Chenglin nodded and did not say anything else. He washed his hands and took a piece of snack to eat.
Soon, the dishes were served, and the first dish was the braised pork intestine.
Zhou Ying looked at the red and translucent large intestine and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she called out, âGrab the chopsticks. Letâs have a taste.â
After saying that, she picked up a piece for herself and tasted it. âThe taste is authentic. Itâs just that the heat is a little lacking and a little chewy.â
Gu Chenglin looked at her as if she was enjoying the delicacy. He also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. After a moment, he smiled and nodded. âIt has all five flavors: sour, sweet, fragrant, spicy, and salty. Itâs fat but not greasy. Itâs soft, sticky, and fresh. Itâs unexpectedly delicious.â
âThatâs true. Otherwise, there wouldnât be a need for the many steps to cook this dish. If you like it, you can eat more. It wonât taste good if it gets cold.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Shizhu and Lin Yitian did not stand on ceremony anymore.
Zhou Ying tried the other dishes. Every dish was not bad, which meant their cooking did not slack off because she was busy.
As for the braised pork intestineâs minor flaws, she didnât pursue them. After all, if it were softened at the beginning, it wouldnât be able to hold its shape after some time.
When they were done with their meal, Niu Fugui sent them out personally. âMaster, Mistress, how was your meal? If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Iâll pass them on to them.â
âItâs good. Just continue to maintain it.â Gu Chengrui said.
âAs long as youâre satisfied.â Niu Fugui smiled.
After getting on the carriage, Zhou Ying turned around and glanced at Niu Fugui. She turned to Gu Chengrui and asked, âBy the way, do you have any progress on recruiting a new restaurant manager? Iâve tried two, but theyâre not ideal.â
âThe capital just sold a large number of political slaves to the outside. It wonât be easy to find anyone suitable in a short period of time. If it doesnât work out, Iâll recruit while I hold the position.
Zhou Ying nodded and did not refute. After all, this was the capital. It was inappropriate for her to take charge..
