Chapter 170 - Three Prawn Noodles (1/2)

“Oh, oh.” Li Shengsheng suddenly reacted to it. He had accidentally mentioned Lu Yumin’s sore spot. For a moment, he was at a loss and could only hand the tissue to her. “It’s been a long time. My condolences…”

“I’m fine.” Lu Yuxi wiped her tears and said, “I just couldn’t control my emotions.”

After washing his hands and returning, Xu Le looked at the two of them and asked blankly, “What’s wrong?”

“Did you order these fried peanuts?”

Li Shengsheng deliberately changed the topic. Xu Le did not probe further and nodded. “Yes.”

He predicted what Li Shengsheng was going to say next and said, “Fried peanuts must be salty. It’s a savory appetizer. It’s fragrant and oily.”

This was a topic they had argued about countless times before.

Li Shengsheng choked when his lines were stolen. In the end, he still argued with him childishly and stubbornly, “The sweet ones taste better.”

The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds and laughed because of this lame behavior. At this moment, Uncle Bai served the wonton.

“Eat the wonton. Be careful, it’s hot. You can add the coriander yourself.”

The steaming hot chicken soup was mixed with the bone soup. It was bright and clear, and a white layer floated on it. The meat filling was firm and sweet, and it was embellished with seaweed and shrimp.

In the past, before Xu Le learned how to cook, he only thought that the soup was seasoned with MSG, which was why it was fresh and sweet. Now, he realized that Uncle Bai had filtering the soup and “sweeped” the soup.

The soup base alone took a lot of effort, not to mention the handmade wonton. No wonder it tasted so good.

The familiar taste reached his tongue, stimulating his memories. Xu Le was even a little dazed, as if time had returned to a few years ago.

Li Shengsheng howled, “It’s so hot… I forgot the essence of wonton.”

As he spoke, he used a spoon to scoop up the coriander on the plate. However, it was difficult to scoop with a wet spoon. Xu Le had just washed his hands, so he sprinkled a handful evenly into Li Shengsheng’s bowl.

Then he helped himself to some.

“Why don’t you give Lu Yuxi some?” Li Shengsheng took every chance to cause a rift. While half-showing off and half-joking, he said, “Do you not like tigresses either?”

“She doesn’t like to add pickled vegetables in her soup, but she likes to put coriander in her fried mala pot.”

Xu Le knew Lu Yuxi’s preferences like the back of his hand.

Li Shengsheng paused and sipped his soup. His gaze wandered between the two of them thoughtfully.

“By the way, your name is Xu, Xu Le?”

“Mmm.”

After eating a bowl of hot wonton, Lu Yuxi’s cheeks turned red. She said, “This wonton is simply perfect. I won’t get tired of eating it every day.”

When Uncle Bai heard this, he chuckled and said, “When you come back next time, I’ll be launching something new. Do you know about flat food?”

Lu Yuxi’s eyes were filled with confusion, while Li Shengsheng shook his head. Xu Le said, “It’s meat buns?”

“Yes!”

Uncle Bai smiled brightly as if he had found a kindred spirit. He said happily, “I went to the south and found a local professional master. I only picked up on the essence after half a year.”

“Yes, the process of making authentic flat food is quite troublesome.”

“That’s right. You must come and support me when the time comes.”

Uncle Bai was just being polite. Just based on the number of people here, there was no such thing as having to “support” him. He had practically watched batch after batch of students graduate. Even if he could not name them, he could still get familiar with them.

The xiaolongbao was fluffy and soft. The meat filling inside was fresh but not fishy. It was fat but not greasy. When it was dipped in a mouthful of home-made chili oil, it left a lingering aftertaste.
