Chapter 561 (2/2)

“Yes, you are right. There is indeed a literary quote about this dish.” Lingzi said complacently.

[Lingzi, wait. Why don’t you ask Boss Yuan if he knows about this?] Asura That Loves Candies was one that had never disliked big events as he could watch the fun. Then, he started to encourage and urge Lingzi to ask Yuan Zhou.

[Exactly. We want to see if that Boss Yuan is as aloof and experienced like how he appears to be] from Moon Visitor.

“That is a really good idea. Let me try.” Lingzi rolled her eyes smartly and agreed on this idea.

Coincidentally, Yuan Zhou had just put down a dish and was waiting for Zhou Jia to carry it away.

Upon hearing that, the surrounding customers were also very expectant. After all, it was really an enjoyment to watch Yuan Zhou lecture others primly.

“Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan, can you spare me one minute?” Lingzi directly walked towards Yuan Zhou with Brother Feng following behind her for the shoot.

Just like that, Yuan Zhou was captured on lens.

Seeing a girl walk towards him along with a camera lens behind her, Yuan Zhou drew back without a trace and slightly raised his head subconsciously to make himself look even better in the camera lens.

What a joke! Yuan Zhou was a man that had even been on TV, thus he knew about this point very well. He wasn’t sure if there were any beautiful girls on the other side of the camera lens, so he naturally had to behave perfectly.

“After all, I’m the most handsome one among those who cook best.” Yuan Zhou thought silently in his heart.

“One minute. No more than that.” Nevertheless, Lingzi didn’t know where Yuan Zhou’s train of thought had gone just now, thus she was still requesting Yuan Zhou seriously.

“Say it.” Yuan Zhou said indifferently.

“Boss Yuan, what does the character Su mean in the name of the dish? Can you talk about the reason?” Lingzi immediately asked straightforwardly and simply.

Of course, she also played a little trick so that she could see how Yuan Zhou behaved.

[I do like watching how Lingzi plays pranks. It’s so funny] from Lingxia Shuzhong.

[That’s right. See the expression of that Boss Yuan? He has apparently seen through her prank. Only Lingzi is still thinking of her scheme. Interesting] From Cats Rushing At Fishbowls.

[Yeah. Lingzi is so honest even when she asks questions.] It was an audience that covered the mouth and snickered.

However, Lingzi’s petty pranks were easily recognized by the audience and Yuan Zhou. Besides that, it was an obvious trick and no more than a roundabout way of speaking.

“This dish is originally called Inappropriateness. You can find the name on the back.” Yuan Zhou said simply and concisely.

He didn’t really bring out the literary quote like what Lingzi had expected.

Nonetheless, it still pointed out the theme of the dish.

“Alright. It seems your wish will fall through. Apparently, this Boss Yuan knows about this literary quote. It’s exactly inappropriateness.” Lingzi pouted her lips and said with a tone of discouragement.

After the audiences were amused by her, they asked Lingzi to reveal it herself one after another. As for Yuan Zhou, he had already turned around and started to cook the dishes.

“Okay. Let me tell you now.” Lingzi behaved in a spoiled manner first and then began to talk about the literary quote.

“Actually, it’s very simple. The literary giant Su Dongpo had an unconstrained temperament and his poetry often gave offence to the influential officials, thus he got demoted for quite a few times. When Su Dongpo returned home from the morning report to the emperor once, he pointed his own belly and asked his wives, ‘What’s inside of my belly?’ . One answered, ‘articles.’ while the other answered, ‘experience and knowledge.’. Only one of his wives called Wang Chaoyun smiled and answered, ‘Your stomach is full of Inappropriateness.’ Only then did the literary giant praise her contentedly, ‘Only Chaoyun knows better about me!’. Later, he improved the Hangzhou dish Crispy Meat into the meatball and named it as ‘Inappropriateness’, which was then called by later generations as Dongjiang Crispy Meatball, also known as Dongjiang Su Meatball.”

“Speaking of which, only Du Fu had one wife among the literary giants while others seemed to have quite a few.” After Lingzi said that, she said something irrelevant.
