Bai Xiaoming nodded his head in praise. “Impressive. When I went to Jiangsu for a business trip, I ate this Huaiyang dish. Back then, it was made by a famous local chef. The filling in it was crab roe, and it came out without fail. It’s not bad, but it’s definitely not as good as your cooking.”

“Haha, you flatter me.”

Xu Le was humble.

Bai Xiaoming said stubbornly, “It’s true. I’m not saying anyone is bad. Your stewed lion’s head is even better than what I’ve eaten in the hands of the local chefs. There’s no greasy taste of the pork at all. What should this dish be about? It has to be particular about the clear soup, soft meat, and light taste.

‘What the little Master Chef makes is the best!”

‘Xu Le was so flattered that he couldn’t find his bearings. He went to the kitchen and said, “I’ll go take a look at my chicken wings.”

As he lifted the lid, a fragrant aroma filled his nose. Xu Le used his chopsticks to poke at the chicken wings. The chicken wings were soft and bright red-brown in color.

Xu Le turned on the fire to collect the juice. He said to the close-up shot, “When you collect the juice, you have to keep stirring it to prevent the bottom of the pot from getting burnt. If you don’t like the taste that is too sweet, you can add half a spoonful of salt to neutralize it. Then, you can add a handful

of white sesame to the plate.”

In the camera, the chicken wings that were arranged on the plate had a rich reddish-brown color. After being soaked in the sauce and white sesame seeds, they were bright and alluring.

As soon as the cola chicken wings were served, everyone, who had just filled their bowls with rice, immediately reached out with their chopsticks to pick up the food. Zhou Huangya said, “I’m very confident in Xu Le’s cooking. It seems like he has never failed before!”

“Let me try one.”

Zhang Liang picked up a chicken wing with his chopsticks. The chicken wing was soft and with a slight touch, the bones could be pulled out. The unique soft and fragrant texture of the chicken skin was chewy.

The sweetness of the cola was completely infused into the chicken wings. The meat was fresh and tender. Zhou Huangya ate it without caring about her image. She held it with two fingers and ate it. Finally, she even mixed the rice with sauce.

“It’s so delicious! I’m already looking forward to your chicken tomorrow!”

“Tve eaten sesame oil chicken, but I’ve never eaten sauce chicken. I’ve never even heard of that Jade Hairpin Chicken Wing Ball.”

“Alright, Tl make it tomorrow.”

After dinner, everyone started cleaning up and prepared to close the shop.

At this moment, a long queue suddenly formed outside. Someone was carrying various long-range and short-range cameras and was negotiating with the program team.

‘The manager, Bai Xiaoming, walked in from outside and said, “They said that the food here is especially delicious. Today, it’s even on the local hot search list. They want to interview you.”

“I don’t know how to speak Thai.” Xu Le shook his head and laughed. “Forget it.”

The production team sent the stage supervisor to negotiate. In the end, they tactfully sent away the local media, but many customers were still queuing outside.

Zhang Liang stuck his head out to take a look and said with a bitter expression, “It’s really a drought that leads to death, a flood that leads to death. Previously, when there were no popular dishes, we couldn’t even earn back the money we used to buy the ingredients. Now, we probably can’t even close the

shop on time.”

“Hahaha.” Bai Xiaoming patted his shoulder with a smile and said, “There’s something wrong with your brain if you’re not enthusiastic about earning money. Everyone, work harder today and try to sell all the ingredients that was prepared. When we have earned enough money, we’ll only open the shop for

half a day tomorrow.”

“Cut the crap. You said the same thing last time.”

“Stop arguing. There are two servings of carp soup, one serving of Buddhist’s Roll, and one serving of sweet and sour carp. Prepare the dishes.”

“Wait, there’s another order. Two Crispy Yam Duck, one carp soup, one Yangzhou fried rice, and one spicy lemon chicken feet.”

Zhou Huangya had just finished her orders when she turned back and continued reading them.
