Chapter 940 - I Want To Eat Twice Cooked Pork. (2/2)
“Yeah, Ling Hong is so nice.” Grandpa Jia nodded his head primly.
Like other old people, Grandpa Jia began to speak highly of Ling Hong whenever he was asked, like “Ling Hong is treating me to dinner” or “Ling Hong is so nice.”
That even made Ling Hong, who followed him behind, feel embarrassed.
Luckily, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant wasn’t big. While talking with others, the two people had walked beside the long curved table.
“Grandfather Jia, let’s sit here,” Ling Hong kept one step ahead and walked to the seat right in the middle and then said to Grandpa Jia.
“Okay, okay.” Grandpa Jia nodded his head smilingly and then got seated.
“Rarely do you sit next to me,” said Wu Hai whole stroking his own mustaches.
That’s right. Wu Hai was now sitting beside Ling Hong.
“Shameless Wu, don’t argue with me today. I’m treating this old man to dinner,” Ling Hong said to Wu Hai seriously and earnestly.
“You are speaking as if I will grab your food. I can order my own dishes,” Wu Hai instantly said discontentedly when he saw Ling Hong’s manner.
“That’s great.” Ling Hong didn’t say anything more today. He directly turned around and looked at Grandpa Jia.
“Grandfather Jia, make yourself at home today. If you stand on ceremony with me, you won’t be giving me face.” Ling Hong changed his expression instantly and said to Grandpa Jia smilingly.
“How fast he changes!” Wu Hai looked at Ling Hong’s bright smile and immediately said discontentedly.
Ling Hong pretended to be deaf to Wu Hai’s words and waited for Grandpa Jia to speak.
“We can’t eat so much. Let’s just eat some simple dishes. Little Boss Yuan cooks everything well,” said Grandpa Jia.
“Grandfather Jia, don’t be too polite. We’ve agreed that I am treating this time. Please check the menu and order whatever you like.” Ling Hong took a menu and handed it to Grandpa Jia, even if there was one in front of Grandpa Jia.
“No, I definitely won’t stand on ceremony.” The smile on Grandpa Jia’s face never ceased today.
The menu that Ling Hong passed to him happened to be the one that included the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine. Grandpa Jia straightforwardly opened it and began to check.
Apart from Kung Pao Chicken, there was another cuisine well known to everybody in Sichuan Cuisine. It was the Twice Cooked Pork.
This dish was so common that almost each and every family can cook it. However, the taste was totally different from one another.
“I want the Twice Cooked Pork and plain rice.” Grandpa Jia looked at the Chinese characters of “Twice Cooked Pork” fixedly and then said.
“One dish is way too little,” said Ling Hong.
“No, not really. This is ordered for me only. You can order whatever you like. This old man doesn’t want to interfere in your choice,” Grandpa Jia waved his hand and said.
“I mean one dish is too little for you,” said Ling Hong.
“In those days, your grandpa only wanted to eat Chives Scrambled Eggs, but I dared to dream bigger than him. I just wanted to eat Twice Cooked Pork along with plain rice. I’m now only expecting to eat this dish cooked by Boss Yuan. I want nothing but this one,” Grandpa Jia said smilingly.
Grandpa Jia was quite satisfied. He had never eaten any meat dish in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. After all, the meat dishes were extraordinarily expensive over here, just like the Twice Cooked Pork he was going to eat today. It cost 566RMB per serving, thus Grandpa Jia wouldn’t order and eat it during normal times.
“Okay. Let me order something else.” When Ling Hong heard Grandpa Jia talk about this matter, he didn’t ask him to order other dishes anymore.
“I want a Translucent Beef Slices, an Egg Fried Rice Set, a Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork. That’s all.” Ling Hong didn’t order too many dishes. He ordered a total of three dishes.
“That’s totally enough for us. It would be sinful if we can’t finish such delicious dishes,” Grandpa Jia nodded his head and said.
