Chapter 218 It must be this store!

"Is this even possible? I'm just wondering why Sister Qing suddenly became so popular, appearing on a variety show with these three top-tier celebrities." Zhao Xiaojing poured the lean meat into the pot, waiting for it to set, shaking her head and laughing. "The entertainment industry really doesn't keep idle people. Her appearance must have a purpose."

"That's right, otherwise how would my sister Qing have had the chance to record a show with them? In the past few years, she has just been quietly singing at music festivals, hanging out with some unknown new bands, with very few resources.

After all, she was a well-deserved number one back then, but I didn't expect it to be so quiet now. What a shame, I love all her songs now.

But I remember that she and Actor Wu were friends in their early years, and it seems like they have always known each other. I wonder if Actor Wu recommended her. "Su Yuchen sighed, a look of regret on his face.

"That's possible. After all, there are so many celebrities out there who want to become famous again and are looking for jobs. If you want to find a female celebrity to come over for dinner, there should be plenty of options."

But can the crew tell you this?"

"That's not what the crew said. The crew is very tight-lipped. They only revealed that they were filming a food variety show and had eaten four meals.

"It was after you replaced Ouyang that he, while listening, searched the gossip group nearby and found the name of the variety show. Lü Hongwen found it," Su Yuchen said with a smile. "You don't know, when the crew and celebrities first arrived, we were all stunned. Especially when I saw Sister Qing, I was completely shocked and couldn't think straight. It wasn't until Lü Hongwen had Wu Kaile notify you and had Ouyang rush up to entertain them that everyone finally realized what was going on."

As they were talking, Zhao Xiaojing's last dish came out of the pot. Su Yuchen had just finished gossiping and went to the front hall with a grin on his face, holding the fried pork with peppers.

As soon as they left the front hall, the four of them immediately focused their attention on the plate in her hand.

"Stir-fried pork with chili rice! The rice is here." Seeing the four people's burning eyes, Su Yuchen quickly announced the name of the dish and put the rice on the table. As soon as he put it down, the four people immediately started to work.

Dong Dongdong moved the plate to the middle, Xuan Miaoqing picked up the public chopsticks and spoon on the side and mixed the stir-fried pork with peppers and rice, Qin Zhichu stood up and took pictures with her mobile phone, and Wu Lesheng quickened his pace to scoop up the half bowl of stir-fried beef with rice.

The four portions of rice for four people were eaten together. Each dish was shared with a public spoon and chopsticks, and everyone ate a little.

The reason they ate this way was because they had already eaten four meals, and the four of them were complaining that they couldn't eat anymore and couldn't finish a whole meal alone, so they each tasted a spoonful of the rice and shared it to test the taste.

I was just tasting it out of habit, commenting after taking two bites, and then waiting for the next meal.

Unexpectedly, I was stunned by the first bite of my first dish. The signature pork trotter rice was perfectly balanced, with the skin braised to a rich, reddish-brown hue. The lean meat beneath was distinctly fibrous yet moist and tender. It held its shape when picked up, yet perfectly tender in the mouth. One bite of fat, the other lean, the texture was soft, glutinous, and tender, but not melt-in-your-mouth. Instead, I chewed it twice, savoring the rich collagen and the rich flavor of the marinade.

Served with spicy and sour sauerkraut and garlicky chopped pepper sauce, the taste buds that were previously overwhelmed by the original aroma of the meat are instantly liberated. The pork trotter rice is made even more fragrant by its relieving greasiness, stimulating appetite and sour taste. Add a mouthful of rice that has been soaked in the marinade and it’s simply delicious.

For a moment, the aroma of meat, pickled cabbage, and rice intertwined wildly in the mouth. The whole person was attracted by the rich taste feast. All thoughts in the mind disappeared, and the only thing left was the bowl of pork trotter rice in front of him.

After tasting the pork trotter rice, the four of them immediately became excited and stretched out their chopsticks to another serving of stir-fried pork liver rice.

I originally thought that a restaurant only needed one signature dish to survive, not to mention that pork trotter rice is the signature dish and the main product. Although it tasted better than expected, it was also reasonable. It is natural that other dishes would be outshined by the signature dish.

Unexpectedly, after tasting the other dish, the four of them were shocked again, and their impression of the shop instantly reached full marks.

Although pork liver is a common dish in the home, it seems simple but it is actually not easy to make. To make it well, it depends on the right cooking time and seasoning.

The pork liver in this restaurant is very spicy at first bite, and then crispy, tender and smooth.

The pork liver is cut into slices that are neither too thin nor too thick. It is meaty and has the unique crispness and flavor of pork liver, but it is not greasy or fishy. It is fragrant under the full aroma of the wok. As soon as you eat it, you can tell that the chef who made this dish has absolutely precise control over the heat, so that the pork liver can be neither too dry nor too raw, just enough to bring out its best aroma and taste.

The side dishes for pork liver are garlic sprouts and chili peppers. The garlic sprouts have just come off the market this season and the taste is not that strong yet, but they are very fragrant when used to stir-fry pork liver. The already smooth and tender pork liver is given the unique flavor of garlic sprouts on top of the spicy and fresh flavor.

The four of them ate in silence. Even Qin Zhichu, who had been muttering about not liking offal, swallowed her words.

After eating these two dishes, the four people's behavior changed immediately. They originally ate and refused for the variety show effect, and shouted that they couldn't eat but were still forced to eat non-stop and hurt each other to create a comedic effect, to acting in their true colors with satisfaction, enjoyment, and immersion.

They even began to look forward to the remaining dishes, and would turn around every time they heard any movement, as if they had not eaten four meals but were just hungry.

"It must be this restaurant! This taste is just right! Sister Qing, eat as much as you want, Brother Sheng will definitely pay for this meal!" Dong Dongdong, who had tasted the last dish of fried pork with peppers, was choking with the spiciness and turned to Xuan Miaoqing confidently and said.

The four dishes they ordered, along with a platter of braised hot pot side dishes, were all served. He had tried every one of them, and every one of them was so delicious that it exceeded his understanding of the restaurant's positioning.

If it weren't for this restaurant, he couldn't imagine how delicious the food in the restaurant he was looking for could be.

"Eat as much as you want! You can't let me go if you're not full today!" Xuan Miaoqing responded energetically, adding two more spoonfuls of rice to her hand.

"Don't even mention that I won't let Brother Fangsheng leave. If the restaurants they recommend in the next few days are of the same quality as this one, I will stay in Jiangcheng!" Dong Dongdong said happily to Xuan Miaoqing.

Wu Lesheng and Qin Zhichu on the opposite side were originally concentrating on eating happily, but when they heard this, their expressions instantly froze. They silently looked up at Dong Dongdong and Xuan Miaoqing, who looked happy and relieved that their mission was completed.

Wu Lesheng's expression was full of hesitation and confusion, while Qin Zhichu's expression was that of wanting to laugh and cry at the same time. The two looked at each other, both with a bitter smile on their faces, not knowing what to say.
