Chapter 306: Taste and Memory
“I can show my dormitory to you next time. Let’s get something to eat first.” Eventually, Yuan Zhou didn’t take her to the male dormitory building.
“No need. We can eat on the way back or it’s also a good choice for you to specially cook a meal for me.” Jiang Changxi answered mischievously with a tone full of teasing.
“There’ll be BBQ served tonight. You can come.” Yuan Zhou said primly just when Jiang Changxi thought that he wouldn’t answer her.
“Gee? A new service?” Jiang Changxi became surprised.
“Humm. Let’s go to eat something.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and took her toward the main avenue.
“Where are you going to eat, the dumplings of that Granny Zhang or the cold rice jelly over there? If not that the BBQ will be served tonight, I really want to try the taste of the Little Yang Grilled Squid.”
Jiang Changxi brought out a long series of foods continuously. Most importantly, all these foods were introduced by Yuan Zhou just now.
It seemed that although Jiang Changxi just answered him with sort of simple words of “ok” or “humm”, she had been actually listening to him carefully, rather than doing that perfunctorily.
“Where do you want to go?” Yuan Zhou was a little touched in the heart and hence answered gently once in a blue moon.
“Why don’t you come to my home and cook for me? Come and try the difference between your kitchen and mine.” Jiang Changxi rolled her eyes and teased him again frankly.
“Sometimes, you look more like an elegant woman when you don’t talk.” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help saying that.
“Well, sorry, I’m much too good. Don’t you also feel it’s not good of me to be so beautiful, right?” Jiang Changxi lifted up a strand of hair with a narcissistic manner.
“Let’s go to eat the wonton. It’s over there.” Considering the considerate deeds of Jiang Changxi, Yuan Zhou said nothing about his opinions of pretty girls, thus he had to change the subject.
“Sure. Compass Boss Yuan, are you treating?” Jiang Changxi revealed a surprised expression.
“Yes, I’m not a stingy person.” Yuan Zhou emphasized once more.
“I didn’t say you were stingy, Compass Boss Yuan.” Jiang Changxi covered her mouth and snickered.
“Humm, let’s go.” With a nod, Yuan Zhou indicated that he believed in her. Then, he brought her to the stall to eat wonton.
“Is this the small wonton that you mentioned just now? It seemed that the owners changed.” Looking at the two men who were apparently not the couple, Jiang Changxi asked in puzzlement.
“I don’t think so. That couples had sons.” Yuan Zhou looked at them carefully and then said affirmatively.
“Really? Boss Yuan even knows about that?” Even if Jiang Changxi sat in the dusty store, she likewise appeared glamorous. This thing called aura was really strange.
“I guess so.” Yuan Zhou answered honestly.
Jiang Changxi shrugged, not knowing if she believed or not. But Yuan Zhou didn’t really care about that. Instead, he turned the head and directly started to order the dish.
The preparation method of the small wonton was very easy. Flatten a thin dough skin about a young girl’s palm size, scoop up a little pure meat stuffing with the bamboo chips, pinch the dough skin with the palm tight after wrapping the meat stuffing inside and then a small wonton was good.
With such a preparation method, a proficient person could make about half a bowl’s amount within one minute.
“Puff puff”
After throwing them into the boiling water for an instant, the dough skin of the wonton immediately became transparent, vaguely revealing the pink meat stuffing inside.
Then, pour some seasoned hot powder, chopped green onions and a little salt into the water. The most important ingredients were naturally the dried little shrimps and seaweed powder in the end of the cooking.
With the little shrimps and seaweed, even the chicken powder or MSG wasn’t needed at all.
The soup of the little wonton was merely the broth scooped up along with the wonton.
Once the steaming hot broth and the small wonton were poured into the bowl, they instantly soaked into the dried flavorings.
In an instant, the delicate flavor blended with some pungency of the seasoned hot powder evoked people’s appetite.
“Yum. It really looks nice. Let me savor the taste first.” Having showed no dislike to the bowls and plates, Jiang Changxi took the chopsticks and said excitedly.
“Um. This wonton is suitable to be eaten hot.” Yuan Zhou felt both slightly nostalgic and a little disappointed.
