Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Waiting for a few people to arrive...
By the time they arrived, a long line had formed at Su Ji Restaurant. There were simply too many people who had heard the news. Luckily, Zuo Lao San had a wide circle of friends and was able to find a friend who had played Pai Gow with him in the crowd ahead. "Qian Da, you're here too?"
"Zuo Lao San?"
Zuo Lao San smiled smugly and said, "It's me, it's me."
Seeing this, Qian Da knew exactly what he meant. "You want to eat this too? Together?"
Zuo Laosan quickly climbed up the pole, "That's great."
"It's just that I have two friends..."
Qian Da said, "No problem, let's go together."
Zuo Laosan had been waiting for these words, and upon hearing them, he beamed. "Brother Qian, you've become even more handsome and elegant. Wait a minute, I'll go get them."
After he finished speaking, Zuo Laosan quickly turned around and brought the other two forward. Not long after they greeted each other, it was their turn. The four of them could just sit at one table, and since they had no extra requests, they were seated in the lobby.
It was already noon, and the aroma of food filled the entire restaurant. Zuo Laosan had smelled it as soon as he came in, and he felt a little relieved. After all, he had been eating, drinking, and having fun for decades, and he had seen and eaten everything. He could tell whether something was delicious just by smelling it.
But in the end, you have to eat it to know the taste, so Zuo Lao San asked the waiter who was serving a few people, "Do you have any signature dishes in this restaurant?"
The waiter was so enthusiastic when he heard this, "What would you like to eat, sir? We have everything here, such as roast suckling pig, glutinous rice stuffed duck, steamed sea bass, braised goose feet, mixed tripe shreds, braised three fresh vegetables... and so on, they are all very good."
Everyone was almost dizzy after hearing such a long list of dishes. Finally, they discussed and ordered a few signature dishes and a pot of wine.
"Okay, sir, please eat some sunflower seeds and drink some tea first. The food will be served to you when it's ready."
"good."
Seeing this, the waiter turned around and left.
Qian Da said, "Not bad, there are peanuts to eat, come on, everyone, eat."
“It’s really good.”
Zuo Laosan also agreed, but his mind was not on this, but on this restaurant. He had been to Yaoyue Tower before, so he naturally knew what the original Yaoyue Tower looked like. He didn't expect that it had changed so much in just over a month. It became much more spacious and brighter, and it was not as crowded as before. There was also an extra stage for listening to storytelling, which was quite interesting.
I just don’t know how this dish tastes.
Fortunately, the dishes ordered by the few people arrived soon.
One dish was braised goose feet recommended by the waiter, one was stir-fried lamb, and one was mixed shredded chicken and fried river shrimp.
Except for the braised goose feet, which the few of them seldom eat, the rest are what they often order when they go to the restaurant. So, except for Qian Da, Zuo Laosan and the other two were the first to pick up a goose foot to try how it tasted.
"Well, be careful, it's hot." The first person to eat it was Zuo Laosan's friend, a man with a bulbous nose who looked a little short and fat. His name was Gu Ming, and he was the fourth child in the family.
He was the first one to pick up a goose paw, but he put it in his mouth before it cooled down, and he got burned. He quickly reminded others.
Seeing that he was scalded, everyone else put the food in their bowls, planning to eat it later. Only Zuo Laosan blew on it and started eating.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Laosan was surprised by the softness of the goose feet as soon as he took a bite. The goose feet covered with sauce tasted unexpectedly rich in sauce flavor, soft and delicious. Its taste was not particularly salty, and it had a hint of sweetness, but it did not overwhelm the taste. Instead, it highlighted the taste of the sauce. The bones fell off automatically when he took a bite. It was very delicious. The tendons of the goose feet were also very soft and glutinous, fragrant and tempting, and I couldn't stop eating it.
Not only him, but also Gu Laosi and others beside him started eating the goose paw after it cooled down, and they exclaimed as they ate, "Why are these goose paws so soft?"
"Not bad, quite tasty."
"Brother, you try it too." While they were eating, they did not forget to ask Qian Da to eat too. After all, it was all thanks to Qian Da that they could come in so quickly today.
However, Qian Da was eating stir-fried mutton at this time and couldn't stop at all. This stir-fried mutton was so delicious. I don't know how it was fried. The heat was just right, and it was spicy and fragrant, with a strong aroma from the wok. With a chopstick of mutton and a sip of wine, he was happier than a god.
"Okay, you guys should try this mutton too. It tastes good." Qian Da also recommended this stir-fried mutton to a few people.
So they started to eat the mutton again. Sure enough, this stir-fried mutton tasted completely different from what they had eaten before. It was much more delicious. The mutton was very flavorful, and the celery and shredded ginger in it were simply the soul of the dish. When they put them in their mouths, it was numb, spicy and fragrant. After taking a bite, Gu Laosi quickly filled a bowl of rice. He ate one mouthful of vegetable and one mouthful of rice. It was simply the ultimate enjoyment.
Zuo Laosan had the same feeling. He originally thought that the stir-fried lamb that filled the whole building was delicious, but after eating this dish, he found that it was nothing compared to the previous one. Especially recently, he didn't know if it was because they had changed the chef, but the taste was not just a little bit worse than before.
Thinking of this, Zuo Laosan remembered that his friend refused to come with them and insisted on going to Xiangmanlou. What a loss! But at the same time, he felt a little gloating. If he hadn't come, he deserved not to be able to enjoy such delicious food.
"The shredded chicken and fried river shrimp are not bad either." The tall and thin man who had been silent next to them also spoke. He was the most picky among the few people. If he could say something was delicious, it must taste really good. So Qian Da and Zuo Lao San started to eat the shredded chicken and fried river shrimp again.
Not to mention, the taste is really good, especially the shredded chicken covered with red oil. It is not greasy when you take a bite, but full of the aroma of red oil, chili and sesame, which is fragrant but not stuffy, and moderately sweet and spicy. The shredded chicken is torn into distinct shapes and wrapped inside. It is a good dish to go with wine or rice. The fried river shrimp is also golden starch wrapped with strips of fried river shrimp of various shapes. It is crispy and delicious when you take a bite, with a hint of salt that does not cover up the sweetness of the river shrimp. There is still a fragrance in your mouth after eating it, unlike Xiangmanlou, which is either too much starch, too oily and salty, and not crispy at all.
Zuo Laosan finished eating several dishes. His favorite was the stir-fried lamb, followed by the fried river shrimp. It was really good. This Su Ji Restaurant was quite good. What a background it was. The dishes they made were even better than those of Xiangmanlou. He had not had much hope at first, but the result was beyond his expectation.
Not only him, the other two people who came with him had the same feeling. They were even glad that they came with Zuo Lao San today, otherwise they would not be able to eat such delicious food.
But what surprised them was far more than that. When they were halfway through their meal, the voice of a storyteller suddenly rang out from the stage.
"It is said that after Pangu created the world, he divided this land into two parts: one was a world without spiritual energy, and the other was a world with revived spiritual energy. Let me explain to you what spiritual energy is. Spiritual energy is something that can be felt but not touched. You can think of it as a kind of immortal energy. People, animals, flowers, plants, and trees that obtain this spiritual energy can cultivate and become immortals.
Our world is a world without spiritual energy, and the world with spiritual energy is called Xuanling Continent. Our protagonist was born in this Xuanling Continent..."
"After Lin Feng was reborn, the first thing he did was to break off his engagement with his fiancée, who had called off the engagement in his previous life after seeing his family's decline..."
The storyteller was sometimes passionate and sometimes paused, but his very beginning attracted everyone in the audience.
Zuo Laosan and the others also stopped chatting and listened attentively to the storyteller's story.
"To know what happens next, please listen to the next episode..."
Even when the storyteller stopped, Zuo Lao San still felt unsatisfied.
You know, he has never heard such a novel story.
"What kind of storybook is this? How come I've never heard of it before?" He asked while recalling the story. However, the others didn't know either. It was the first time for everyone to hear it and they were all confused. Zuo Laosan quickly called the waiter to ask, and found out that this storybook was actually written by someone hired by the restaurant itself.
Then several people hurriedly asked when the next show would start, and were satisfied when they learned that they could hear it when they came to the restaurant for dinner in the evening.
When the meal was over, everyone was reluctant to leave and was very satisfied. Not only him, but also Mr. Wen and Master Wen who were sitting in the box on the second floor were attracted by the book of stories about cultivating immortals. They had only read books of sages before and had never heard of such stories before. They were fascinated by it.
Old Man Wen couldn't help but think that it would be great if he was also reborn. Would he be able to be reborn to his youth like the protagonist in the story and fill all his regrets?
However, before Mr. Wen could finish his listening, the waiter in the restaurant brought the dishes they ordered.
When Mr. Wen and Master Wen saw someone coming, they retracted their stretched necks and said "cough cough" twice, returning to their usual aloof and self-possessed appearance.
"Let's eat, let's eat." Neither of them said anything, but they kept their ears perked up, as if they didn't want to miss the storytelling voice downstairs.
Only when the storyteller's voice gradually faded away did he concentrate on eating.
Speaking of which, the reason why Mr. Wen and the other man came to Su Ji Restaurant this time was just for this dish. Ever since they had eaten the dishes made by Su Li at home last time, the two of them often sneaked over to the restaurant opened by Su Li to eat. Today they hadn't eaten for a long time, so they came out specially. As a result, they heard the people in the restaurant talking about the restaurant. When they heard that the restaurant had private rooms where they could sit, they came.
"Master, I've sliced the roast suckling pig for you." The waiter at the side finally divided the suckling pig into pieces on a plate and spoke.
"Okay, you go down and we will eat by ourselves." said Master Wen.
The waiter lowered his head and said, "Yes, sir, if you need anything, please call me. I'll be at the door."
He left after saying this, and considerately closed the door before leaving.
When Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen saw that everyone had left, they put down their airs and started eating the roast suckling pig on the table with chopsticks.
The roasted suckling pig is not big, about four pounds. Its appearance is golden and shiny, and it exudes a faint fruity aroma, which is particularly tempting. White sugar and chili powder are specially placed next to the roasted suckling pig.
Old Master Wen had never eaten like this before and found it a bit novel. He picked up a piece of roast suckling pig with chopsticks and hesitated for a moment. Without dipping it in anything else, he put it directly into his mouth. "Crunch." The crispy sound of the roast suckling pig was heard immediately, and then Old Master Wen felt a mixture of meaty aroma and fruity wood aroma filling his mouth. It was so fragrant, the skin was crispy, but the meat was very tender, and it was delicious even if eaten alone.
"Dad, dip it in sugar, sugar is delicious!!"
