Chapter 675 - Yu Chus Perseverance (2/2)
Now, only one Tangyuan was left in Yu Chu’s bowl.
As for Wu Hai, including the original 12 that he ordered, the ones that he stole from Ling Hong and Yu Chu, he already had 18 Tangyuans all for himself.
“Friend, you are still too young.” Chen Wei sighed.
Mr. Wei couldn’t help himself and spoke as well, “Boss Yuan doesn’t normally sell Tangyuans. If you missed this meal, you will have to wait until next year to eat his Tangyuans.”
“Even while dieting, I had still eaten six of the Tangyuans here.” Sister Wan rubbed her somewhat bloated belly. Looked like she would have to go jogging again tonight.
“Boss Yuan’s food is really very good,” Wang Nan added as well.
Although Yu Chu paid attention to what everyone said, he still did not seem to mind. He still stood firm on what he said to Jiang Changxi, feeling like the only purpose of food was to allay one’s hunger. Therefore, so long as the food did not taste bad, nothing else would matter.
“Once upon a day, there was an evil tyrant. Every single day, he would blackmail Zhang San, who was his fellow villager, for money. Again and again, he did that. One day, when this evil tyrant went overboard by asking to sell everything in Zhang San’s house, Zhang San counter-attacked. Ultimately, both of them suffered.”
Wu Hai was about to take the final Tangyuan in Yu Chu’s bowl. But before he could do it, Jiang Changxi’s voice rang out. When he heard her, his hand immediately stopped moving.
“Come on, it’s only some Tangyuans. Is there a need for this?” Wu Hai looked at Jiang Changxi with resentment.
Jiang Changxi nonchalantly replied, “I am merely telling a story I read once.”
Wu Hai stopped speaking.
“Yu Chu, since you’re already here, give it a try. Coming here but not eating anything is as good as coming for nothing,” Jiang Changxi said.
Yu Chu was finally provoked when he heard “coming for nothing”. He was someone who hated doing something pointless. Since only one Tangyuan was left, he had to eat it so that his trip here wouldn’t be a pointless one.
“There might be a pleasant surprise waiting for you,” Jiang Changxi added.
Yu Chu did not care about any pleasant surprises. He believed that eating would never be an enjoyment. Therefore, he would feel no regret.
No matter what food it was.
He would not feel any regret over it.
Yuan Zhou’s Tangyuans had two flavors — sweet and salty. The sweet Tangyuans had a smooth jade-like layer of white around them, looking extremely likable with their bright and shiny exterior.
As for the salty Tangyuans, they had a green exterior, with some tiny green leaves mixed within, giving off a refreshing look.
Only a green Tangyuan was left in Yu Chu’s bowl. Green and lush, it floated within the clear soup.
Using the spoon, Yu Chu scooped up the Tangyuan. After all, he wasn’t as good with chopsticks as Wu Hai.
The Tangyuan completely filled the jade-white spoon. After all, it was two times larger than the normal Tangyuans sold at supermarkets. Even so, it still maintained its round shape. Resting in the spoon, its exterior was sleek and beautiful. At the same time, steam rose from it constantly.
“Hiss.” Yu Chu inhaled deeply from the heat. He had bitten off half the Tangyuan with a single bite.
And it was this single bite that instantly sent Yu Chu into stupefaction.
