"Your food is ready, please enjoy."

Susan followed Ling Miao's example and put down the braised pork on her tray, nervously watching the guests' expressions.

"This meat looks beautiful."

Rich color, bright red

It's the size of a mahjong tile, smells amazing, and is just like the one shown in the live stream.

Sheng Qinian picked up his chopsticks and stabbed at the braised pork without hesitation.

The tender, braised pork belly, held between chopsticks, even bounced a couple of times, seemingly unwilling to be left out.

Susan watched nervously as he put it in his mouth.

The other party let out a sigh.

"It's delicious."

"You think it's delicious?"

Susan gripped the tray tightly.

Sheng Qinian was puzzled. He nodded and put down his chopsticks. "Yes, it's really delicious."

He had tried it once before during a live stream.

He really liked the slightly sweet flavor.

It's generally salty, but there's a subtle sweetness at the end.

This wonderful feeling was something he had never experienced before.

Surprisingly, it's not annoying.

I really like it.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Susan relaxed and smiled.

Enjoy your meal!

After saying that, she walked away with a light step.

Ling Miao had been watching her, and seeing the relaxed smile on her face, she went up and patted her on the shoulder.

"I told you it was good."

The other person nodded vigorously twice, their eyes shining like stars.

“I’m very happy.”

"The guests like the food I make."

Ling Miao expressed her understanding.

No chef can remain unmoved after seeing that a customer enjoys their cooking.

Diners' satisfaction is the best answer for a chef.

She looked at Susan, whose face was flushed with a faint blush, and whose large, round, bright orange-yellow cat eyes shone.

I'm really happy.

Ling Miao sighed inwardly, and just as she stepped into the kitchen, she heard a voice—

"Manager!"

She turned her head and saw Avril's surprised and delighted expression.

Alice and Kerry behind him also greeted him.

The three looked slightly disheveled, but their spirits were still high.

"Manager, I'm so glad to see you again!"

Avril swore she had never been more grateful for the accident that landed her on Tadar after being stranded by space pirates.

Compared to her fellow alumni who were still struggling, she chuckled, revealing a cunning smile.

Let them live honestly; she'll go first!

Avril thought it without any guilt, even with a sense of self-righteousness.

When I was stranded in Tadar, I also had to survive in the wilderness. Now it's time for me to enjoy the good life.

The thought flashed through Avril's mind for only a moment before she eagerly looked at Ling Miao.

"Manager, do you have any new dishes?"

Ling Miao pointed to the large electronic screen in the restaurant that was scrolling in real time, "The newly launched items are all on there."

"Give me a serving of minced pork and eggplant casserole!"

"I want braised pork."

"And steamed pork with rice flour!"

After Kerry finished speaking, he turned to look at Ling Miao.

Ling Miao nodded and then asked, "Would you like a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup?"

Do you have any other soups?

Avril asked with hope in her eyes.

Ling Miao shook her head, "Not yet, but new ones will be added soon."

She felt a little disappointed when she heard the first sentence, but she cheered up when she heard the rest.

Anyway, we'll be staying here for several more days, so we won't have to worry about not having a chance to eat!

She sat down happily and looked around.

It's been a long time since I've been here. It's still the same as always.

As she marveled at the sight, she suddenly realized that the restaurant seemed to be larger than when she had visited before.

Avril didn't think about it in detail, only that she hadn't noticed it before.

The restaurant now has a few more tables of customers, and compared to the first time it was deserted, it has a more lively atmosphere.

"very nice."

Avril rested her chin on her hand, propped her elbow on the table, and tilted her head to examine the object.

She tried a few of the food stalls outside, and the food was delicious.

I've never eaten this before.

It was really delicious. If she hadn't been saving room for the food the manager made, she would have been full just from eating the snacks!

Perhaps she had been observing for a while, because when she came to her senses, she saw Ling Miao placing the prepared dishes on the table.

This was Avril Lavigne's first time eating eggplant.

The eggplant in the casserole was still sizzling and steaming, its rich, dark sauce color instantly whetting the appetite.

The limp eggplant strips were soggy and mushy, drooping together in a disheveled mess, dotted with bits of minced meat.

A few red chili pepper rings were scattered around, making one's mouth water.

She picked up a mouthful with her chopsticks, stirred it into the snow-white mound of rice, and then scooped up a small clump and popped it into her mouth.

The rice and eggplant with meat were piping hot, and you could occasionally taste bits of minced meat.

It's chopped very finely, yet retains a grainy texture, like opening a blind box, giving you a pleasant surprise.

It was spicy, Avril licked her lips, savoring the taste with lingering enjoyment.

Her gaze fell on the casserole in front of her, her eyes burning.

After trying several servings of eggplant casserole, she set her sights on braised pork and steamed pork with rice flour.

The cube-shaped braised pork belly is tender and chewy, with slightly gelatinous fat that melts on the tongue with a sticky texture, while the lean meat is the complete opposite.

It's not dry at all.

As we all know, lean meat can easily become tough and chewy if stir-fried or simmered in a pan for too long.

Muscle fibers detach one by one and easily get stuck in teeth, causing great distress.

But this braised pork doesn't have this problem at all.

The fatty meat is fragrant, soft, and tender, while the lean meat is slightly chewy. It is easy to chew, and the meat is tender and smooth with no fishy smell at all.
