Chapter 336 The next one will definitely taste better

After the soldiers took their seats, bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses were neatly placed on the table.

Because everyone is not here yet, the food has not been served yet.

Everyone started chatting while drinking tea and waiting for General Xie.

"It's true, the decoration here is quite cozy. I feel like I'm back home and celebrating the New Year with my family."

"Yes, even window paper-cuts are pasted on them, which makes people feel warm when they see them."

"If I hadn't attended the annual banquet this time, I wouldn't have known there were restaurants like this in the food court. It looks too much like a courtyard."

"By the way, we can go shopping here after dinner. I heard that the food court has launched a new year's dessert gift box. Anyway, we will celebrate the New Year in Beijing this year, so let's buy some to take back."

"Okay, but I have other things to buy."

"I originally thought there was nothing good to bring back from the food court, but as I walked along the way just now, I liked this and that. Fortunately, I brought money today, otherwise I would regret it so much that I couldn't sleep when I go back."

"Hahaha, I told you that you are the greediest among us, but you still don't admit it."

"What do you mean I'm the greediest? It's obvious that everyone is about the same."

Not long after, General Xie also came to the hall where everyone was.

Like other soldiers, General Xie's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the various arrangements in the yard.

At the same time, a sense of warmth welled up in my heart.

Just by looking at the various decorations in this yard, you can see the level of care put into it.

Everyone is present and the annual banquet officially begins.

The menu for the New Year's banquet was decided by General Xie, and no one else knew what to eat.

The waiters came in one after another carrying trays.

Everyone at the table craned their necks, unable to help but guess in their minds what dishes would be served.

The yard is decorated with lights and colors everywhere, giving it a full festive atmosphere.

I’m sure these dishes won’t be much worse, they must be both hearty and delicious.

"This is fried shrimp with cashews and lily bulbs. Please enjoy."

The leading waiter introduced the first course to everyone and then left.

Stir-fried shrimp with cashews and lily bulbs??

This combination sounds weird.

Everyone at the table cast their eyes on the dish on the table. On the elegant white porcelain plate were pale pink shrimps, golden cashews, orange-red carrots and white lilies.

The sauce is transparent and clear, and looks great.

Yun Gan couldn't help but praise: "This combination is really eye-catching."

The people below also started to whisper.

"It looks really exquisite, and it should taste good too."

"I think so too. I can smell the fragrance from a long distance away."

"I said this year's annual banquet would be very special. Just looking at the layout and the first course, you will know that what I said before was right."

"No wonder the general said he would arrange a special annual banquet for us."

“Aren’t cashews nuts? Can nuts be cooked with other ingredients into dishes?”

"Yeah, especially if you stir-fry it with shrimp, will it taste weird?"

"I think it's weird to have lilies with shrimp and cashews."

"Why are you worrying so much? Haven't you heard that the food at Yipinlou and Food Court is famous for its novel cooking methods and delicious taste? This is a dish that our general personally approved, so how could it go wrong?"

"Yes, cashew nut crisps are so delicious. Even if cashew nuts are made into other foods, they will definitely be delicious."

Last time, General Xie bought a lot of snacks from the food street and brought them back to the camp for them to eat, including cashew nut cakes.

It’s delicious.

They all thought that cashews could only be made into snacks, but they didn't expect that they could also be cooked into dishes.

When General Xie saw that the dishes on each table were served, he picked up his chopsticks and said, "Everyone, start eating. There's no need to be restrained."

Everyone smiled and raised their chopsticks: "Thank you, General!"

General Xie picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth along with the lily and shrimp.

The shrimps are plump and elastic, and the lilies are crisp, tender and sweet.

As soon as you take a bite, the sweet juice splashes in your mouth, and your appetite is instantly whetted.

Yun Gan chewed the delicious food in his mouth with his eyes wide open.

The shrimps are made by removing the heads and shells of fresh shrimps, and then using a knife to cut open the back and remove the shrimp thread.

Mix egg white and salt and marinate for a while before putting it into the pan and frying.

Because the heat is well controlled, the lily and shrimp retain their original sweetness and freshness.

Chewing it carefully, the deliciousness of the shrimp and the sweetness of the lily are intertwined and fill your entire mouth.

It's like the conversation between a gurgling stream and the countryside on the tip of your tongue. The taste is truly wonderful.

After eating the shrimp and lily, General Xie picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.

This time he picked up lilies and cashews. The lilies were as white as jade, and the cashews were as bright yellow as gold, which looked very tempting.

Others also tasted the delicious food in their bowls and praised it highly.

“Delicious, really delicious!!”

“The lilies are crisp and sweet, the shrimps are delicious, and even the cashews are incredibly fragrant.”

"The whole dish tastes salty, fresh and sweet, and it is really delicious."

"I thought the combination of this dish was weird, but after tasting it, I realized that I was just being weird. Whether it's lily with shrimp or shrimp with cashews, they're both delicious."

"What you said is true. The cashews in this dish and the cashew crisps taste completely different."

General Xie was also happily eating lilies and cashews, and he narrowed his eyes slightly in a good mood.

I thought the combination of nuts and lilies would be strange, but the taste was unexpectedly good.

Take a bite, the floral fragrance and the unique crispy aroma of cashews intertwined together, just like eating spring into your stomach.

In the brightly lit hall, the soldiers ate with gusto and were very happy.

The first dish is so delicious, the next ones will definitely be even better.
