Chapter 119: Invited to Be a Boss

Although he was a big boss, Boss Guan liked eating vegetables. However, Director Qi didn’t know that as it wasn’t obvious, otherwise he would have already booked a table of vegetarian dishes.

Therefore, Boss Guan first aimed at the Jin’ling Grass dish. With the verdant artemisia selengensis being picked up between his dark brown chopsticks, the different colors formed a sharp contrast and made this dish appear more delicious. He then ate it in one bite.

The juice contained in the artemisia selengensis flowed immediately into his mouth. The crisp, delicious and refreshing taste flooded his mouth with saliva. It felt like the tender green color of the spring was brought into the mouth.

The dish from home, Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet, was cooked differently as well. Looking at the glistening brown chicken feet, Boss Guan at first was worried about the grease but when he thought of the previous Jin’ling Grass dish, he started to pick up one chicken paw and eat without hesitation.

There was nothing special about it when it was first picked up. Unexpectedly, the skin melted in the mouth with just a gentle suck, leaving only the jade-like chicken bone there. With a “Ge zhi, Ge zhi” sound, he curiously chewed the bone, resulting in the crystal bone marrow flowing into his throat. Instantly, an icy cold feeling exploded in his stomach, as if he had eaten a piece of iced watermelon on a broiling day, which was refreshingly comfortable.

Boss Guan suppressed the impulsion to eat it up quickly like what he had done to the Jin’ling Grass just now. Next, he tasted the Phoenix-Tail Prawns, the signature dish of Jin’ling cuisines, which he had eaten many times.

“Do the prawns taste as delicious as the other two dishes just now?” Boss Guan suddenly looked forward to tasting the dish.

The prawns, that were exquisitely sculpted, were picked up and stuffed into Boss Guan’s mouth directly.

“Director Qi, this place is really a rich land for fostering more talents. This taste is marvelous,” after swallowing contentedly, Boss Guan said that.

“It’s said that this Boss Yuan even defeated the famous Chef Yu in World Foodie Hotel. Since we are treating you to dinner, of course, we’ll serve the best ones,” Anxious to drink up a gulp of broth, Director Qi answered after a little while and meanwhile gave an affirmative smile to Shuxiao.

“This restaurant is hard to be found but the taste is definitely top grade.”

“That’s true. Thank you, Director Qi. The culinary skills are even much better than the best chef in my Junya Hotel,” Boss Guan’s discontented mood had already been removed by then and he had only one thought.

“Come on, come on. Let’s eat quickly. It’s not good to leave such delicacies uneaten,” while talking, Boss Guan signaled them to talk after eating.

“Ok, you are the boss. Let’s eat first, eat first.” Director Qi agreed at his convenience. He had been trying hard to suppress the appetite just now, as business affairs mattered most. Now that the client had proposed to talk after eating, naturally the host must accommodate the guest.

As for Shuxiao, he had always been eating from the start. Only during some occasions when Director Qi was talking, he obediently looked up and watched him while still slowly chewing the dishes in the mouth.

Soon, the three people swept clean all the dishes on the table. Boss Guan felt that he hadn’t eaten something so well and delightfully like now in a long time. Every time he was invited to dinner before, it was basically drinking alcohol and talking about business. He had never had a dinner once focusing on eating as the main theme like this time.

He couldn’t help but want to pat his belly. Luckily, he managed to refrain from this urge.

“Brother Guan, what do you think of the dishes? The surroundings of the restaurant are pretty good, too. Look, people have even started to wait in line outside to eat,” Director Qi was a dutiful official of the investment attraction agency and constantly praised his city.

“Boss Guan, what else do you want to eat?” having received the signals from Director Qi, Shuxiao smartly asked.

“Is there any alcohol here in the restaurant so we can drink a little bit?” Boss Guan was fairly curious about the alcohol since the dishes were so excellent.

“All that can be served here is on the menu. But Boss Guan, do you want to try the watermelon juice?” Shuxiao suggested.

“Yeah, I suggest no alcohol today. Let’s just eat something and have something to drink,” Director Qi was yet good at talking skillfully.

“Alright. One dozen of the drinks,” Boss Guan said casually.

“The watermelon juice prepared by Boss Yuan was ordered by cups. Don’t worry, let me order some.” Shuxiao received the task of ordering the watermelon juice without any hesitation.

“Ok, you do it,” after he savored the taste here, Director Qi had believed in the capabilities of Shuxiao. Although the restaurant appeared inferior, the dishes were top grade for sure.
