Chapter 343 Look at what kind of flowers he sent?

"I don't write my full name just because I don't want to expose my privacy. It's a neutral name at best. You all learned bad things from Lao Guo!" Da Zhuang shook his head with a headache.

The others burst into laughter. As they were talking, the three plates of beef in front of them were empty, and Zhao Xiaojing ordered a fourth plate.

"Actually, this name is okay. It's mainly because Da Zhuang sounds too rustic. If you keep calling it that for a long time, it will be really funny when you hear your real name again." Su Yuchen explained. "Then why are you called Da Zhuang?"

"If you want to create a social media account, you have to give it a friendly name so that people can remember it. For example, Li Zi is called Li Zi, and Lao Guo is called Guo Guo. If I'm called Mr. Shi and post some food videos, wouldn't it sound weird?"

"It's not surprising. There are many unconventional names on social media that are still popular. But the three of us have been calling each other by these usernames since we first met. If I were to call you Mr. Shi, I'd feel really uncomfortable." Li Zi pretended to get goosebumps.

"Same, I feel a chill even when you call me Ranran now!" Dazhuang glared at Guo Gaoang.

"We're just eating hotpot, why are you saying such corny things?" Guo Gaoang smiled.

"You know what, this beef in sour soup tastes quite good, it's perfect for someone like me who has a strong taste." Su Yuchen praised.

"Sour soup fish is also delicious, but beef is still the best. We can eat sour soup beef four times in two days on the first trip. Jingzi, do you want to put this pot-roasted pork elbow on the menu?" While everyone was scooping up the beef, Guo Gaoang picked up the last piece of pot-roasted pork elbow on the plate, dipped it lightly in tiger sauce, and savored it slowly with enjoyment.

"No, this dish is a bit troublesome to make, and it's not suitable for fast food restaurants. Besides, I just made it a little better, so I need more practice."

"Fast food restaurants can't afford the price either. This dish probably needs some work, so it's not cost-effective to put it on the menu." said Da Zhuang, who knows the goods.

"Chef, every dish requires effort. The rice bowl alone is so much more delicious than what you can eat outside. The heat is not something that any chef can control. Otherwise, how could people remember it so much, right, Ranran?" Li Zi looked at the three large buckets of flowers by the wall, raised her eyebrows, and smiled at Dazhuang with a sly look.

Da Zhuang was puzzled. "You can tell whether my kung fu is good or not by eating it yourself. Why are you asking me?"

"What kind of trap are you setting for him?" Guo Gaoang said with interest.

Seeing the others also looking confused, Lizi smiled slightly, "Old Guo, I'm not going to mention sending all your flowers home, but Dazhuang and I sorted and packaged our flowers ourselves and designated where to send them."

"Well, then?"

"Take a look."

"You're quite good at matching. Is it a comb? The colors go together really well." Guo Gaoang turned his head and looked at the flowers.

"Did I ask you to look at this?" Li Zi was furious. "Look at what kind of flowers he sent? We even went to find out specifically. You wouldn't forget about it after filming the video, would you?"

"Lily of the valley, pink Lycoris radiata, imperial lily, thousand-day orchid, bells... bell clematis? Wow! Dazhuang, why are you sending anything expensive? Ordinary flowers are just sent as a foil!" Guo Gaoang exclaimed.

"Are these flowers expensive? I remember I bought a wind chime for 20 yuan last year online?" Yun Yongyuan, a frequent flower buyer, scratched his head.

"Yours are wind chimes, this is lily of the valley, they're different! You can only buy a small bunch for 300 yuan at retail outside, and look at what season it is now? Ordinary flower shops don't dare to stock this stuff, fearing that the price is too high and they won't be able to sell it and lose money! Hey, I said I'm a foodie, Dazhuang, you're even better than me! Not only did you rush to send a bunch of local specialties just to come over for hot pot, but you even sent such expensive flowers. Are you hoping to get a few meals?"

"..." Da Zhuang, who was a little embarrassed by the pear and didn't know what to say, was amused by Guo Gaoang's words. "Yes, yes, I'm a foodie. I'm hoping that the chef will be in a good mood when seeing the flowers and accidentally cook a few more dishes!"

"Just come directly next time. We practice cooking here every Tuesday when the store is closed. Just tell us what you want to eat in advance. Don't send such expensive food." Zhao Xiaojing was secretly shocked when she heard the price and secretly glanced at the flowers.

What a shame! I didn’t know this flower was so expensive. What did the flowers whose heads I cut off that day look like?

"Pfft!" Wan Yuyue laughed out loud, remembering the three people cutting flowers while cursing 'Mr. Shi'. "Yeah, please don't give it to us. Giving us flowers is worse than giving us vegetables!"

"I'm going to buy a few vases this afternoon. Such expensive flowers can't be kept in an iron bucket anymore. I'll change the water later." Yun Yongyuan muttered with concern.

While chatting and laughing, Li Zi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Da Zhuang, then looked at the people who were completely unaware, pondered for a moment, smiled silently, and lowered her head to eat.

It was a rare break, so after cleaning up the kitchen, Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan didn't want to stay and practice anymore. They each packed up their failed dishes from the morning and left the restaurant. Zhao Xiaojing didn't want to work anymore either, so she asked Su Yuchen to go shopping and watch a movie together, but Su Yuchen just smiled sheepishly.

"I was only planning to record three songs as a test, but when I went there yesterday, Uncle Wen and the tuner were very satisfied, so I recorded two more. I have to go again today... How about you come with me?"

"Why should I join you? Do we need to record the audience's applause? You go ahead, it's fine. I'll stay in the restaurant and practice cooking."

"Then I'll call you when I'm almost done. Come have dinner with us and I'll take you to that dry-fried gluten place I mentioned. Didn't we agree to eat out more often and explore new restaurants? I'll pack it for you, so why don't you just go and eat it yourself?"

"Alright, I'll practice at the restaurant this afternoon, and call me in the evening."

The two of them roughly agreed on a time. Su Yuchen stopped driving and left the car keys to Zhao Xiaojing and left early.

Zhao Xiaojing thought about the difference between the pot-braised pork elbow she made at noon and the one made by her instructor in the virtual space. She carefully recalled the entire process and entered the virtual space again to practice again.

"Let it cool, then cut the string along the long end. Wipe off all the moisture before you can paste it."

Zhao Xiaojing suddenly understood.

The instructor had said this before, but the knowledge points were too dense and she overlooked it for a moment.

She also noticed that although the instructor seemed to be rolling the thick egg batter in one go, he was actually very slow. He did not place the elbow directly on the plate, but tilted it at a certain angle to ensure that every gap in the elbow was evenly and smoothly coated. There was very little filling required afterwards, and the overall result was more beautiful.

Zhao Xiaojing immediately reorganized the ingredients and began another round of practice on cooking pork elbows...

[Ding~Main quest dispatched]

Just as Zhao Xiaojing was steaming the pork elbow and starting to cook the lychee meat during the break, the system prompt sounded.

The long-awaited main quest! Zhao Xiaojing perked up, straightened her back, and waited.
