Chapter 325: Li Li’s Counterattack

“What’s the matter?” Wu Zhou and others beside him asked in unison.

“You’ll know that after you eat it. Try.” Yuan Zhou signaled them to eat first.

“That’s right. You’ll understand after you eat it.” Wu Hai looked at them expectantly.

“Should I try first or you go first?” Wu Zhou looked toward Zhuang Xinmu and then said with an inquiring manner.

“You first.” Zhuang Xinmu said directly.

“Thanks, honey.” Wu Zhou snatched Zhuang Xinmu’s hand up and said with a moved tone.

“What an unexpected method of showing off your intimacy,” Zhao Yingjun suddenly said loudly.

“Not to me. Only you feel it to be unexpected. My wife is also very nice.” Manager Shi indicated that he wasn’t single and hence didn’t mind it.

“Try now.” He actually cared more about that and hence urged.

Actually, both Zhao Yingjun and Manager Shi had their own meatballs. But, they still wanted to watch Wu Zhou eat first.

It was also a fun to enjoy the delicacies.

“Alright.” Wu Zhou picked up the meatball and stuffed it into his mouth without any hesitation.

When he picked it up, he found the layer wrapping the meatball was soft and it became softer after he stuffed it into the mouth.

“What a strange feeling!” Wu Zhou took a bite. A sweet and sour taste was emitted before the taste of the meatball arrived.

“Strange?” Manage Shi became even more curious.

In less than a minute, however, Wu Zhou let out a “hum” and then chewed it energetically. It seemed the meatball became more delicious.

“Looks nice. Let’s have a taste, too.” Manager Shi turned the head and said to Zhao Yingjun.

“Um. Let’s try.” Zhao Yingjun was also interested in that now.

The two of them seemed to be quite interested in this mechanism and hence started various experiments.

When they watched it carefully, they found several small doors were under the tall lotus-like plate with a thick base and concealed in the pillar, which made them difficult to be found.

The plate used to load the Swedish Meatballs was quite special, just like the copper hotpot stove in former times. At the upper part was a smooth disc. On the disc, the meatballs were place in a circle, the peacock tail was at the side and the mashed potatoes that made into the body and head of the peacock were in the central part.

At the lower part was a pillar-like thing that was connected to the plate below. The pillar was carved with beautiful decorative patterns. It was these patterns that concealed those small doors.

It was originally thought that the plate was specially used as a foil to emphasize the beauty of the peacock. After all, only such a tall plate could give people a feeling that the peacock was about to fly. However, it seemed to be designed like that for the sake of this mechanism now.

Manager Shi poked the place where the meatballs rolled out with the chopsticks mischievously and there came a sound of “Pa Pa”.

“Can’t it be poked open? It seems to be opened from the outside.” Manager Shi muttered to himself and studied it with great interest.

After that, he used the chopsticks to push the exquisite small doors outward, but still nothing happened.

“So interesting!” After experimenting for quite a few times, Manager Shi found that the meatball wouldn’t roll out unless someone pulled out the peacock tail first. Nor would the doors below open if people ate the meatballs first.

Such a mechanism was quite ingenious.

Manager Shi and Zhao Yingjun were enthusiastically studying the mechanism like the kids. The miraculous texture of the meatballs that fell down had immediately stimulated their enthusiasm on studying.

Wu Zhou, nevertheless, gave the last meatball to his girlfriend.

“Come on. Mu Mu, eat the meatball. It’s super delicious and you would absolutely like it.” Wu Zhou picked the meatball up and moved it to the mouth of Zhuang Xinmu.

“It’s a guarantee that Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship is fine. But a dish made from cream…” Zhuang Xinmu was a little hesitant in her heart.
