Chapter 522 (1/2)

Stir-fried Dongpo is a Hakka dish in the Dongjiang Regional Cuisines. The flavorings were simple, scallion, ginger, red and green bell pepper and the auricularia auricula. Moreover, the pig’s intestines needed to be medium-well boiled beforehand before it can be stir-fried.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou could make this Stir-fried Dongpo quickly.

In just a little while, Yuan Zhou carried three plates of the dish to the customers.

“Here is the Stir-fried Dongpo dish for you two. Take your time and enjoy, please.” Zhou Jia carried the plates to them and said carefully.

She also carried the dish to another person who had ordered it. It was a young girl.

“Um.” Wu Hai and Ling Hong nodded the head at the same time as an answer to her.

“Looks really good.” A customer who had also ordered the dish but was still waiting for it happened to sit beside Ling Hong.

“It does look nice.” Ling Hong nodded his head.

The person was the one that didn’t like nor hate the dish. He ordered the dish just for the sake of Yuan Zhou’s reputation.

However, the color of the dish in front of him attracted his attention.

The large intestine was flesh-colored and was cut into triangular slices; so were the green and red bell peppers as well as the smaller-sized jade white garlic slices with golden yellow edges and the green sliced scallions.

The entire dish was placed in a lotus-leave-edged plate. The lotus leaves painted along the edge carried a pale green color, which appeared refreshing and beautiful. More importantly, it whetted people’s appetite with its appearance.

Upon seeing that, Ling Hong picked up the chopsticks and started to eat without hesitation.

The person beside him could do nothing but watch Ling Hong squint his eyes and chew the dish blissfully.

Ling Hong ate for quite a while. Once he opened the eyes, he found that person was still staring directly at him.

It was known that people would always feel that food would be very tasty when they watch others eating it. This would lead to the person that was eating feeling the food becoming even more delicious as they gaze back at the person staring at them.

“What are you staring at me for?” Ling Hong looked at that person with puzzlement.

“Nothing. I just feel that your dish is very delicious.” This person looked well-behaved yet had fixed his eyes on Ling Hong’s plate.

“Oh. Do you want a try?” Ling Hong was so generous that he moved the plate toward that person.

“Thank you.” The person answered without hesitation. He asked Zhou Jia for the Welcoming Set Meal and then immediately picked a piece of pig’s intestine with the chopsticks.

Such things could only happen to Ling Hong. If it were Wu Hai that sat on the other side, he would answer, “It’s indeed very delicious,” very calmly even if he was stared at or asked

After that? There was no after that, of course. Having attempting to steal meals from the plate of others, how could anyone expect him to give his meals to others? It would never happen unless that person promised to order another serving of the dish for him later.

Therefore, it was quite important to choose the right seat. After all, Ling Hong wasn’t as thick-skinned as Wu Hai.

“You are welcome.” The dish had already been stuffed into that person’s mouth for a taste before Ling Hong even finished saying that.

However clean the pig’s intestine was washed, it still had a kind of unspeakable taste. Therefore, many people didn’t like eating it. This person was also one of them. Just when the pig’s intestine entered his mouth and he prepared to frown, however, he smoothed his knitted brows unexpectedly.

When it entered his mouth, it tasted soft and chewy. The more he chewed, the stronger the fragrance, a kind of fragrance like and also unlike meat. Meanwhile, it also had a faint hint of plants.

The most important thing was…”Hiss. So spicy.” The person couldn’t help fanning toward his mouth to relieve the spiciness.

“Haha. It’s indeed very spicy.” Only then did Ling Hong take a big mouthful of watermelon juice and say that smilingly.

There was obviously no chili in the dish. Nevertheless, it had a kind of fragrant and spicy feeling along with some umami flavor, which made people drool.

“Right. It’s spicy and delicious. Besides, it has no offensive smell at all.” This person nodded his head continuously.
