Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 258 - 259: Conquest Begins with the Stomach
Li Jing felt that choosing this crispy rice dish was truly a wise decision.
Not only did it witness a live reincarnation from a two-dimensional space, but it also delivered a taste she had never experienced in this lifetime.
The crispy rice had soaked up the thick sauce, and the rich seafood flavor was perfectly integrated into the rice aroma. The original crispy texture became somewhat sticky and soft due to the sauce, but instead of affecting the taste, it added a complex variation to it. One bite was sticky soft, the next crunchy, and then a combination of crispy and sticky. It was simply unbeatable!
Zhuo Qianqian, munching on the crispy squid rings, felt she could never tire of the boss’s creations, as if any ingredient touched by his hands could magically transform into something extraordinary.
She was already used to Wang Fan’s cooking, yet she couldn’t resist the deliciousness, let alone Jiang Chenchen, who was tasting it for the first time.
After Wang Fan leveled up again, his seasoning skills had reached new heights, especially during those few days in Guangfu, where he summarized and absorbed Guangfu’s pursuit of the natural flavor of ingredients. His improved skills were vividly demonstrated in the sauce poured over this crispy rice.
The simple condiments used were just salt, sugar, a pinch of pepper, and some soy sauce for coloring; no oyster sauce or MSG was added. But this simple combination of ingredients not only made the sauce visually appealing but also fully combined the deliciousness of the ingredients.
Just one phrase—whoever tastes it will be dazed.
After taking a bite of squid, Jiang Chenchen fell in love with this saucy crispy rice to the core, forgetting all about the braised pork she had ordered.
Just as she was about to take a second bite, she saw a small, extraordinarily red piece of meat constantly enlarging in front of her eyes.
The chunk of meat got closer and closer, its perfect color making her swallow uncontrollably, her gaze unable to move away as it remained fixed on the meat.
The meat seemed increasingly large, appearing bigger than her head with each glance.
Jiang Chenchen really wanted to shout—don’t come any closer!
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt as if her saliva wouldn’t stop flowing.
Aroma.
Such a strong aroma, the rich meat fragrance was infused with a faint hint of wine, devoid of any meat stench, but instead, it had a particularly mellow and refreshing scent.
Under the light, the pig skin at the top of the braised pork shone bright, and the entire piece of meat wobbled slightly as the chopsticks moved it.
She could only think of these four words to describe it!
Braised pork generally gives off a rough impression, but this piece of braised pork felt more like a lady from a noble family!
The neat feeling was like that of a noble lady in the world of braised pork.
Zhuo Qianqian used communal chopsticks to pass the braised pork to Jiang Chenchen: "You better eat the first bite of what you ordered, don’t you know how hard it is for me to hold back? Open wide."
Jiang Chenchen instinctively opened her mouth, and Zhuo Qianqian smoothly delivered the braised pork right into her mouth.
Wang Fan’s braised pork chunks were quite large, so Jiang Chenchen could only eat half of it, lightly biting in, and her teeth instantly penetrated into the braised pork.
Soft, sticky, fresh, sweet, and salty, with a mere touch of her tongue, the extreme taste perfectly transmitted to the brain.
Wang Fan’s sauce absorption was incredibly deft, with the essence of the whole pot of sauce firmly clinging to the meat, while the addition of wine gave the entire piece a faint grape fragrance.
All the seasoning enveloped the meat, exploding immediately upon contact with the tongue, astonishing the taste buds.
Jiang Chenchen’s eyes widened, chewing quickly, the perfect control of heat rendered the meat tender and juicy, rich but not greasy.
The lean meat was tender yet chewy, while the fat melted in the mouth, releasing a mouthful of fragrance, the sauce’s intense flavor was sweet and savory, perfectly merging with the meat’s delicious taste.
As she swallowed, the faint wine aroma and the meat’s rich flavor remained entangled on her tongue, lingering long after.
"I really want to go out and bow to my brother-in-law! Oh my Goodness, this is too delicious!"
Jiang Chenchen truly couldn’t imagine how to describe the piece of braised pork she had tasted.
Even with a top-scoring college entrance essay, she couldn’t find the right words.
This piece of braised pork was slightly sweet, and she typically didn’t enjoy sweet-tasting meat, usually finding it overwhelming.
But the faint wine aroma perfectly counteracted any greasiness.
Moreover, the sweet taste was so perfectly balanced that you could barely notice it being sweet, yet it elevated the natural meaty flavor to its extreme.
"Whoa! So tasty!"
It seems when guys don’t know how to compliment, they tend to say this. Can I use it too?
These four words were like a starter pistol, and as soon as she spoke, three pairs of chopsticks simultaneously reached for the braised pork plate, and as the braised pork decreased by three pieces, Jiang Chenchen felt as if her flesh was being cut away.
"Please, wait! Take it easy! Save some for me!"
Li Jing avoided Jiang Chenchen’s attacking chopsticks: "Get a grip, look at how high this plate is piled. Can you finish it yourself?"
She quickly stuffed the braised pork into her mouth, soon realizing why Jiang Chenchen reacted as she did.
"Oh my god, what kind of culinary divine has my brother-in-law learned from to make such delicious dishes?"
Zhang Ya closed her eyes, looking utterly enchanted: "Unbeatable, this piece of braised pork is enough to be legendary, I fear I won’t want to order braised pork anywhere else anymore, it’d all be inferior compared to this!"
There was no doubt left for Zhang Ya about Zhuo Qianqian, the little foodie being thoroughly subdued.
For a foodie, gourmet food is above all, and with such culinary prowess, it doesn’t matter what the chef looks like, as long as they resemble a human, they’d captivate the foodie.
"Wow, this lamb is also delicious, even retaining a hint of its unique flavor, yet magically leaving no gamey taste, unbeatable!"
"Hiss... Ha, this spicy chicken is seriously intense! The spicy feel is just thrilling!"
"Wow, this blueberry yam is also delicious, how can the yam be so finely mashed? It’s almost like ice cream, delicious and not greasy, unbeatable."
Di San Xian, Steamed Perch, Stuffed Tofu...
The dishes on the table resembled being in the midst of a storm, as the four’s eyes scanned the delicacies like hawk’s, seeking the next target, and once locked in, their chopsticks moved as if racing against time.
The items on the plates diminished rapidly and soon, there weren’t any dishes left and even the lettuce used for presentation was consumed, leaving the four slumped in their chairs, unwilling to move even their fingers.
