Chapter 169: Limit of the Beef

Theoretically, such dishes which could be eaten without rice would definitely taste a little milder when eaten with the rice. However, this dish was different. The smooth and refreshing taste of the vermicelli and the moderately soft rice brought out the best texture of each other. So did the slightly spicy taste of the powdered pepper and the sweetness and fragrance of the rice.

Along with the white rice, Chen Wei ate up the remaining half of the dish Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork.

“Boss Yuan’s skills are really convincing,” Chen Wei complimented Yuan Zhou with a thumbs-up gesture.

“I still feel that only the beef dish can really reflect his genuine skills,” Wu Hai suddenly chimed in at the side.

“Ah, I still have the beef,” instantly, Chen Wei recalled of the beef dish he had ordered just now.

He turned the head and looked toward the brown stoneware plate which was approximately as big as volleyball. Inside the plate were big beef slices about the size of a girl’s palm, appearing rather comfortable to look at.

All males looked forward to the feeling of drinking liquor freely and gulping down big pieces of meat, believing that it was the most wonderful taste.

He could clearly see some pepper flakes on the big beef slices. Moreover, the sesame oil scattered on it made the beef appear even more extraordinarily appetizing. Even if he was already half full, Chen Wei unconsciously swallowed up a gulp of saliva with a sound of “Gu Dong”.

He reached out the chopsticks and picked up one piece and then got to know why it had this name. After being picked up by the chopsticks, the beef slice was as thin as a piece of paper.

Normally speaking, such thin beef slices surely couldn’t be picked up. Even if it was picked up, the big beef slice would either break or fold. This one, however, was totally different. It was as if the beef tendon were still there and the beef slice only slightly bent; moreover, the overhead light passing through it could be clearly seen.

Chen Wei opened his mouth wide and gulped down the beef before starting to chew.

The spicy and hot taste suddenly exploded in his mouth first. Instantly, he had a feeling that all the hair pores were open. Then a stream of acrid flavor directly rushed down his throat, yet it didn’t make him choke. Meanwhile, the spiciness stimulated the surface of his tongue, followed by the delicacy of the beef with slightly chewy texture. After gulping it down with several bites, he didn’t have the feeling of beef being stuck between his teeth.

“Spicy, crisp and fragrant. It’s really a good dish with liquor,” Chen Wei gulped down one beef slice and then immediately said.

“You are right. The beef and the Bamboo Liquor are definitely a perfect match,” rarely did Wu Hai agree with Chen Wei.

“The taste of both spiciness and mellowness is indeed a nice match,” after speaking, Chen Wei continued to eat the beef.

Every gulp of the beef was followed by a mouthful of white rice. Chen Wei did the same for the rest of the meal. This was one of the most cultured ways of eating by Chen Wei.

“They all look very delicious. What shall I order?” A man waiting for his turn at the front of the line asked all of sudden.

“Provided you have money, savor them all. If not, then savor them one by one,” lining behind the man were the lovers who had just bickered. The girl kind-heartedly suggested.

“As a victim of choice phobia disorder, I have no idea what to select,” the man was a little depressed.

“I recommend the beef. I was too far away just now and hence didn’t see clearly Boss Yuan’s marvelous technique using the knife. The beef slice is said to be so thin that light could pass through it,” the girl was rather interested in that.

Everyone wanted a dish that they could both enjoy the appearance and savor the delicious taste.

“The beef that costs 688 RMB for one serving? Well, ok, that’s it,” the man was a little hesitant at first, but the thirst for the beef overwhelmed the concerns about the wallet.

“What shall we order?” The man behind the girl approached her and asked.

“What about Jinling Grass and the beef?” the girl said generously.

“Since we seldom come here, it’s up to you,” the man said in a flattering manner.

“What do you mean? So if we often come here, it will not be up to me. Do you mean this?” instantly, the girl turned the head and said discontentedly.

“No, definitely not. It’s always up to you,” the man then became stupefied. However, he was knowledgeable in such situations and thus tried to coax her.

“Humph, now that’s the way,” the girl wasn’t really angry as she was just joking with his boyfriend. Seeing her boyfriend admit his mistake, she then turned her sight to Yuan Zhou.
