Chapter 125 Garlic Chicken Wings

“Okay, okay.” The woman shook his hand gratefully. “Thank you.”

Xu Le sat there with his eyes closed and his consciousness entered the system.

He found the recipe for Snowflake Peach Paste and started practicing. Among the recipes passed down, there were quite a few cooking methods. He wanted to choose the method with the best taste and was the fastest.

He tried the first method more than 50 times with corn starch. The starch was easily sticky and easily burnt. If he failed the first time, he would not be able to recook it in the pot.

This was the troublesome part of this dish. Once there was a mistake in a step, it would directly affect the follow-up process. After experimenting dozens of times and succeeding, Xu Le picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. There was a soft and sweet taste, but it was a pity that there wasn’t enough sugar. The starch produced would more or less be affected and had a more rigid texture.

He started to try the second method again. Time passed unknowingly. When Xu Le opened his eyes, the clock on the wall showed that 15 minutes had already passed.

It was a dish that he had been studying for quite some time. Just as he was about to stand up, Zhou Huangya brought over the sliced green mangoes and said, “You are so tired that you can fall asleep sitting down? I saw that you were too tired and didn’t have the nerve to wake you up. Come and eat some mangoes.” “MMhmm.”

Xu Le did not explain and reached out to pick a piece. “Thank you.”

Walking over to the table, he heard that Alex had bragged something that made Zhang Liang, who always had a good temper, roll his eyes. Zhang Liang tilted his head and said, “Nonsense.”

“What nonsense did I say? If I had stayed in the country, I will definitely be more popular than you.”

Alex looked at Xu Le and invited him over, “Come over and have some sauce. Have you tried this before? They don’t dare to try it, hehe.”

“MMhmm.”

Xu Le calmly dipped into the soy sauce and then wrapped the chili powder on the plate next to him. “I saw that on the streets, you can wrap with salt, sugar or chilli sauce.”

“Eh?” Zhang Liang frowned and said, “Is this really edible?”

“You’ll know when you try it.”

“It’s some nasty cuisine.”

After the green mango had been dipped in the condiments, he put it into his mouth. It covered the sweet and sour taste of the green mango. When he bit it, it tasted like cheese. It was smooth and fragrant with a hint of saltiness. It did not taste bad and instead had a unique flavor.

“You’ve been here for such a long time, and our budget is tight. We haven’t treated you well.”

The store manager, Bai Xiaoming, walked out and placed his hands on the table. After thinking for a while, he said, “Tomorrow will be your last day here. Our turnover for this week has already exceeded our quota. Why don’t we bring everyone out to play?” “Oh.” Zhou Huangya pouted and said a little embarrassedly, “The food outside is not as delicious as Xu Le’s food. We might as well buy more food and eat in the restaurant.”

“He’s a guest and has been cooking for a week. Can’t you let him rest?”

“I’m fine with that.”

After Xu Le finished chewing the last piece of green mango, he looked up at the clock and said, “Let’s make dinner now. Do any of you want to eat any dish?”

“Me, me, me, me!”

Zhou Huangya raised her hand and said, “I want to eat hibiscus chicken slices.”

Zhang Liang teased, “Hey, you really know how to order the dishes served at the national banquet.”

Bai Xiaoming said, “Is stir-fried beef okay? I am fine with anything. I’ll eat whatever you cook. There seems to be prawns in the fridge. They were just delivered this afternoon.”

“Yes, anything is fine. I’ll prepare myself then.”
