Chapter 54: Only give Song Wenxing wonton skins
"Are there a few of you from other places?"
Seeing that they only ordered fresh meat wontons, the proprietress simply put down the notebook and called in the direction of the kitchen.
"Yes, yes..." Gu Qiming responded somewhat uncomfortably.
Zhou Baibai felt much more relieved: "Sister, how did you figure that out?"
"The accent doesn't sound like that of a local." The proprietress pulled up a stool and sat at a table not far from them. "Plus, among the locals in our store, almost no one orders fresh meat wontons. They are all from other places passing by or traveling. They just want to deal with it casually, so they order..."
The proprietress said this calmly, without any emotion.
Lin Manjiao and the others felt a little embarrassed...
It sounds like this is saying that they are from outside the area and cannot afford expensive wontons.
It just so happened that she and Xu Shuozhou hadn't ordered yet, so she didn't know what to do. She pointed at the expensive shrimp wontons on the menu and said, "Give me one serving of this, and two side dishes, something lighter."
I haven't had any proper food for two days.
If she hadn't been used to this feeling of hunger during her diet, and sometimes even only ate one bite of cucumber a day in order to lose weight quickly to join the group... She would have probably gone crazy with hunger and fainted on the bed.
Xu Shuozhou also spoke with a dignified look: "Give me a portion of crab roe."
Others: …
No, are they crazy?
How can someone who is in debt of thousands of dollars dare to order such expensive wontons?
The shrimp wontons ordered by Lin Manjiao were better, 75 yuan a bowl...
The crab roe wontons that Xu Shuozhou ordered were priced at 300 yuan per bowl! !
Really, Gu Qiming and his friends even thought this was a shady shop that was opened specifically to rip off customers...
Otherwise, why is the price so high and has not been investigated yet?
Whose shrimp and crab roe are so expensive? !
Is it made of gold?
Several people thought that Lin Manjiao and Xu Shuozhou were crazy, but they were tactful and didn't say anything.
Maybe they have their own way to pay?
No matter what, Lin Manjiao is at least a well-known second-tier artist.
It's even possible to say it's on the first line!
However, a staff member who was filming the scene reluctantly reminded them: "Two teachers, you have no money now..." and you are in debt!
Xu Shuozhou didn't care, but his eyes looked at Shen Shiman.
He didn't believe that this woman would have the heart to see him embarrassed by not being able to pay.
Lin Manjiao smiled gently: "We know."
But I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and lowered her head to drink water.
Shen Shiman suddenly asked, "The boss lady has been running the shop here for a while, right? At least ten years?"
The lady boss smiled and said, "I've been doing this for more than 20 years since I took over."
"I can see that your family is a long-established brand."
Shen Shiman complimented politely.
The lady boss immediately introduced her family's history to her enthusiastically...
Shen Shiman listened attentively, smiling and nodding from time to time, expressing a little surprise and showing admiration.
The lady boss immediately spoke more enthusiastically, and tried her best to promote her own signature dish: "... the ingredients are very rich, so many people come here just for this taste!"
"Then give me a portion of their signature wontons..." Shen Shiman closed the menu and said with a smile, "I think your recommendation is good!"
The proprietress was immediately pleased.
"Of course!" She then looked at Song Wenxing who was sitting next to Shen Shiman: "What do you want, young man? I see you haven't said a word since you came in..."
I didn't drink any water and didn't eat any melon seeds.
Before Song Wenxing could say anything to decline, Shen Shiman said, "Cook him a separate portion of wonton wrappers. Don't add anything else in it. Just add a little salt for seasoning."
The proprietress smiled and said "OK", and she didn't think there was anything wrong with just having the wonton skin without the filling.
At this time, others couldn't help but feel regretful.
"Can I just get the wonton skins?" Zhou Baibai asked in a low voice.
Shen Shiman said "um" and said, "Of course you can..."
She smiled and said, "Some people only eat the wonton wrappers and not the wonton fillings."
“Most stores are willing to do it.”
However, in order to prevent the boss lady from disagreeing, she deliberately chatted with the man first.
After all…
This seemingly inconspicuous little shop has been on a TV show and is a century-old brand.
Of course, she didn't know whether it was really a century-old inheritance.
However, the wontons produced by this shop must have some skills behind them...
Looking at the lengthy introduction of a thousand words on the back of the menu, I feel that it cannot be simple.
Not to mention...
He was able to sell wontons at sky-high prices and yet remain safe and sound without being investigated.
Soon, the proprietress followed the call from the kitchen and came over with a few bowls of wontons.
Gu Qiming and Xu Xiangnuan only ordered one bowl, and asked the proprietress for two small bowls, which they shared.
Zhou Baibai and Zhang Qing ordered a bowl each.
The remaining bowl is Song Wenxing’s wonton skin.
Lin Manjiao and Xu Shuozhou ordered this. It was a little difficult to wrap, so it was just taken out of the pot.
"Aren't these wontons too small?" Zhou Baibai gobbled up most of the wontons in one gulp, not even caring about whether they were hot or not, and huffed and puffed. Even when he paused to catch his breath, he did not forget to complain.
It's a little small, but surprisingly full.
He hadn't eaten well in the past two days, and was hungry the whole day yesterday.
I thought I could eat a whole cow by now...
As a result, I felt about 70% full after only finishing half a bowl of wontons.
"This wonton may not look big, but the filling inside is quite substantial."
Zhang Qing bit the wonton with her delicate little mouth.
Under the thin layer of dough, there is a solid meat filling. When you take a light bite, the soup inside overflows, filling your mouth with fragrance.
She found it miraculous while eating it and she didn’t know how they managed to completely lock the soup into the filling.
If you don't bite it open, not a drop of it will come out.
Zhang Qing ate happily and had long forgotten about the price.
If she hadn't felt a little full after eating just half a bowl, she would have even wanted another bowl.
Several people were eating the meaty wontons with big mouthfuls, which made Song Wenxing, who was silently scooping the wonton skins beside them and eating, look a little pitiful.
It was as if the whole family was enjoying the best food and drink, but he was the only poor little one who was left to eat coarse food on the side.
After Lin Manjiao and Xu Shuozhou's luxurious version of wontons were served, the "feeling of pity" lingering around him became even stronger.
[No, why doesn't Bitch Shen give my brother some food? ]
[That's right! Xu Shuozhou and his friends didn't have a cent and they still owed a lot of money. They ordered the most expensive dishes. Why couldn't Teacher Song even eat something with stuffing? Isn't Shen Moumou a little too much? Although she got the money, didn't the rules say that she had to give half to her partner? ]
[Shen bitch, go die!!!]
Song Wenxing's fans were very dissatisfied with the fact that Shen Shiman only ordered a bowl of wonton skin for Song Wenxing.
Plus, some people are fanning the flames and taking advantage of the situation...
Soon, Shen Shiman was scolded and became a hot topic.
