C142 A Seemingly Ordinary Delicacy
2Lee Mengliang was very unhappy with the waiter's actions. After he left, he let out a few awkward laughs and said to the crowd, "Look, this five-star hotel is only so-so. The waiter doesn't have much vision, yet he can't even tell that I'm the customer. What a joke!"
"When we pay the bill later, I will ruthlessly slap his face in front of him!"
Lee Mengliang raised his chopsticks and said to everyone, "Come on, everyone move. You don't have to be polite with me! I'm a regular customer at this level of hotels. "
Xiao Han and Qing Ya could not bear it any longer when they saw Lee Mengliang's pretentious look. However, since they were all friends, they could only forcefully suppress their laughter. They picked up their chopsticks and picked up their favorite dishes to eat.
Qian Duo was not the least bit lady-like. She openly filled her plate with delicacies.
The boiled cabbage was placed in the middle of the table. Other than Ye Chen and Eldest Wei, almost no one used chopsticks.
"You really like eating cabbage, Ye Chen. Have you never eaten seafood before? Are you afraid you won't know how to eat and lose face?" Actually, it wasn't a problem. They had known each other for an entire afternoon, so they could be considered acquaintances. No one will laugh at you. Look at the crab leg, do you want to try it? "
Seeing that, Lee Mengliang mocked again.
Ye Chen shook his head indifferently, "No need. I like this boiled cabbage. It tastes better than anything I've ever eaten before. "
Ye Chen emphasized the name of the dish when he said that, but no one could recognize it.
Lee Mengliang only thought that he had never seen anything like this before, and he also felt that boiled water and cabbage was too much of a hindrance, so he directly put it in front of Ye Chen: "Since you like to eat so much, I'll give you everything. If it's not enough, I'll make them heat another one for you."
This was simply an insult.
However, Ye Chen did not care. That was because Lee Mengliang would arrive sooner or later and the person he insulted was himself.
"Ye Chen, this cabbage, this hot cabbage, is it really that delicious?" Qian Duo asked curiously.
Ye Chen replied with a smile, "This cabbage is not hot. I understand that it should be steamed. However, there are many steps ahead that are more complicated to complete."
"Is that so?" Qian Duo blinked her big eyes as she asked.
"Yes, try it if you don't believe me." Ye Chen said with a smile.
As youngsters, they did not know that boiled water and cabbage were actually quite normal. After all, even ordinary people would not be able to come in contact with state food.
"Tsk, it's just a piece of cabbage, how complicated can it be and how steaming can it be …" What was the difference between steaming and cooking? Isn't it still a cabbage? "
Lee Mengliang said in disdain.
However, Qian Duo did not think that Ye Chen would make a move for no reason. She directly ignored Lee Mengliang's mockery, picked up a piece of the meat with her chopsticks, and started chewing.
Qian Duo couldn't help but close her eyes the moment the dish entered her mouth.
The soft teeth of this cabbage would turn into minced meat the moment they touched it. It was very fine and fragrant, the soup clearly had a thick taste but yet it did not have the slightest bit of an oily star!
Fresh food, soup, color fresh, taste fresh, is not a delicacy of life and death, is a top delicacy with a full body of color and fragrance!
"This taste is too delicious, isn't it?"
Qian Duo couldn't help but cry out as a drop of juice dripped from the corner of her mouth. She hurriedly sucked it back, fearing that the delicacy would escape.
Xiao Han and Qing Ya, who were standing to the side, could see the oddity and laughed, "Duo Duo, you don't need to be so exaggerated, do you? How delicious could a cabbage be? Is it even more beautiful than an abalone's fin? "
Qian Duo swallowed an entire leaf before she finally said to the two of them, "Really, I didn't lie to you. "What you just said …"
Qian Duo smacked her lips. "I really think that this cabbage has the flavor of an abalone's fin, and it's more than that …" And... "Also, Aiyah, anyway there are so many different flavors. You all better quickly try it out for yourselves, I can't say it out loud!"
Xiao Han and Qing Ya were skeptical as they picked up a piece and put it in their mouths. After a while, they became like Qian Duo, amazed by the deliciousness of this dish!
Dried beef, lobster abalones, and the like were all good ingredients. No matter how one cooked, they would still be tasty. However, they could not imagine how a cabbage could be so delicious!
"Why is a cabbage so delicious?" Xiao Han sighed.
Qian Duo and Qing Ya, on the other hand, were much more realistic. They didn't even have the time to sigh as they directly grabbed the chopsticks.
Lee Mengliang ordered a table full of delicious dishes, but Qian Duo didn't seem happy. On the contrary, it was Ye Chen's boiled cabbage that not only attracted Qian Duo's praise, but it even disregarded the lady's image and directly snatched it.
"What exactly happened to you two …" "It's just a piece of cabbage. How delicious can it be?" Lee Mengliang couldn't help but pick up a piece as well.
After they finished eating, their expressions immediately changed to that of the three, as if they were enjoying themselves to the fullest.
It was indeed delicious!
But he immediately realized that he shouldn't show it. Wasn't that slapping his own face?
Therefore, he hurriedly adjusted himself and restrained himself for a while before mumbling, "It's … it's not bad. It tastes a bit better than ordinary cabbages." "Looks like this hotel does have something."
Actually, he was overthinking it.
Ye Chen and Eldest Wei sat against the back of the chair. Qian Duo, Xiao Han and Qing Ya all stood up and rushed to their own plates. Xiao Han even cleverly scooped soup into his own small bowl and no one paid attention to him, Lee Mengliang.
A plate of boiled water cabbage was immediately divided between the three of them.
After Qian Duo finished her food, she then asked, "Ye Chen, how do you know that this cabbage is so delicious? Have you ever eaten before? Why is a cabbage so delicious? Could it be … Was it cultivated from high technology? "
"Of course not." Ye Chen smiled bitterly and explained: "This is a traditional delicacy passed down from our Dragon Country. This is a national feast, not something you can come in contact with in your daily life. It is only available in high-end restaurants, and not every head chef can cook this dish, even in high-end restaurants. This dish will test the patience of a chef and his skill. "
"National banquet? Have you ever eaten a state dinner? "
"With Mister Warlord's status, is it strange for him to eat a state banquet?" Eldest Wei said proudly at the side. Since Ye Chen didn't hide anything, he said it openly.
In any case, there might not be anyone who would believe it.
Sure enough, Qian Duo sneered and did not take Eldest Wei's words seriously. "Pfft, you two are not done yet."
"Ye Chen, do you know how to make this dish?"
"I only know a general idea. If you're curious, you can ask the waiter." Ye Chen answered.
"Un, then I'll call her over to ask!"
Just as Qian Duo was about to open her mouth, Lee Mengliang's phone beside her suddenly rang.
Lee Mengliang looked at the screen, it was his brother's phone number!
It's here! Lee Mengliang was elated. The time for revenge had finally come!
"Erm, you guys eat first, I'm going out to pick up an important phone call."
Lee Mengliang stood up and walked out with the phone.
"Then call the waiter in!"
