Chapter 122 - Conquered by His Culinary Skills (2/2)

It was slightly burnt but not bitter. It was the fragrance of the fire.

The several flavors combined into one, and it was so delicious that Zhang Liang’s eyes widened. He suddenly took a bite of the rice and said while chewing, “The skin outside the chicken wings is soft and fragrant, and

the vegetables inside are just right. After they’re cooked, they don’t lose the original sweetness of the vegetables.”

It was nice to eat with rice and fragrant and spicy, and there was even a faint smell of Kung Pao chicken.

Xu Le nodded and said, “That’s right. The Chinese cuisine focuses on fusing all kinds of flavors together and elevating them to new heights.”

Alex had so many doubts in the beginning. When he first started eating, his expression was filled with disdain and doubt, but in the end, he was completely conquered by the first dish. His chopsticks never stopped, and

the more he ate, the more engrossed he became. His mouth was even slightly swollen from the spiciness.

The chicken wing ball was also an extremely spicy dish, but between the two dishes, one was chewy and tight, while the other one was soft and fragrant. It had a completely different texture and taste.

After the meal, Alex’s attitude changed drastically. He stopped looking down on Xu Le and chased after him. “Are there any other dishes? Let me try some later.”

“Sure.”

After each dish was served, there was still some left. Alex stood at the side and tasted it with a toothpick. He didn’t care if he was embarrassed or not. When he tasted the Buddha’s roll, the crispy outer shell was filled

with soft stuffing. It was extremely fragrant.

“Wowl” His eyes were full of admiration as he said, “This is too delicious. It was clearly fried from oil, but why is it crispy and fragrant, and not greasy at all?”

He tasted the West Lake Vinegar Fish, Crucian Fish Soup, Crispy Yam Duck all at once… He had tasted all of Xu Le’s new dishes. He was so full that he sat at the side, doubting his life.

He looked at Xu Le and said, “Little Master Chef, could it be that you’ve grasped some ultimate secret recipe and suddenly ascended? You’re so young, why are your dishes so delicious!”

Alex was screaming internally, unable to believe and was filled with envy. “Please make sure you give me the recipe. I’m sure I’ll spend a great deal to publish it.”

“To be honest, the cooking of these dishes is not difficult at all. The real trouble is the precise control of the heat and the ingredients used. Like a lot of spices, I really can’t give you all the grams required.”

Xu Le told the truth.

Alex thought for a while and suddenly said, “Can I stay here today?”

“Hmm?”

“I want to freeload another meal.”

He sighed and said, “If only you could stay here and not return home. How am I going to face the company’s canteen tomorrow after eating your food!”

Xu Le lowered his head and smiled as he continued to process the dishes in his hands.

The Sesame Oil chicken and chicken wing ball were too spicy. When Zhou Huangya was recommending these dishes, she would constantly remind the customers. However, after the sauce chicken was sold out, many

customers insisted on ordering them after learning that they were made by Xu Le.

Therefore, an hour later, the front hall was filled with noise from people who were affected by the spiciness. Many customers had tears in their eyes. It was so spicy that they stood up to walk around, but they were

unwilling to put down their chopsticks.

“Is it that spicy?”

Zhang Liang, who was used to Sichuan cuisine, said, “They’re exaggerating too much. Why don’t we make a beverage and send it over? Otherwise, what if they give a bad review?”

Xu Le had the same idea. He rummaged through the fridge and only found two lemons. Not to mention that the lemon water could not neutralize the spiciness, they also did not have enough of it.

Just as he was fretting, Zhou Huangya came in with a large bamboo frame and said, “Look what it is!”

“Hmm?”

Xu Le removed the cloth covering it and saw a yellowish and soft-looking mango lying inside.

“I bought it directly from a fruit farmer. It’s very cheap and of good quality.”
