Chapter 278 The Unspoken Secret
Princess Lejia stared at the shiny chicken leg and felt that she could hardly control her saliva.
Chen Huazheng noticed that Princess Lejia's eyes were always lingering on the teriyaki chicken legs, so she picked up some chicken leg meat with chopsticks and put it in a bowl, and handed it to Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying respectively.
"Aning, Cousin Ying, please try it and see how it tastes."
"Okay, I'll try it now!!"
Princess Lejia hurriedly took the bowl from Shen Huazheng's hand. She never missed any opportunity to taste food for Shen Huazheng.
Zhou Ying also smiled and stretched out her hand, taking the small porcelain bowl from Shen Huazheng.
The chicken was still steaming, looking shiny and full of fresh aroma.
Pick it up with chopsticks and take a bite. First you can taste the deliciousness of the sauce, and then the tender texture of the chicken.
The chicken thighs are crispy and delicious on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside.
It has the saltiness of braised chicken, the sweetness of honey, and the deliciousness of the chicken itself.
As you chew it, the rich teriyaki sweetness blooms in your mouth, with a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.
Every bite is full of endless deliciousness, bringing the ultimate enjoyment to the taste buds.
Princess Lejia savored the teriyaki chicken thigh she had just swallowed: "It's delicious!!"
It's really so delicious!!!
Not to mention such a small piece, even if you give her a whole pot of chicken legs, she can finish it.
Zhou Ying also praised: "The chicken thigh meat is moderately salty and sweet, fresh and tender, and really delicious."
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "Let's go have lunch."
The cook has already steamed the rice, so we can eat soon.
Princess Lejia's eyes sparkled: "Let's go!!"
She was not bragging, she could eat two bowls of rice in one meal with the teriyaki chicken legs.
Zhou Ying looked at the two of them with a smile and followed them out of the kitchen.
*
After a busy morning, it is finally time for lunch.
Shen Keting returned to his seat and opened the food box brought by the servant.
He took out a large porcelain bowl from it, and a rich aroma of rice immediately filled his nose.
Jiang Cheng had already moved over following the aroma, and unconsciously inhaled the fragrance in the air: "Jin Yu, what are you eating today?"
Although he didn't know what it was exactly, just by smelling it, he knew it was a salty and sweet meal.
Chen Keting: "Teriyaki chicken drumstick rice."
At this time, the fog had dissipated, and the true appearance of the teriyaki chicken leg rice was revealed.
On the soft and glutinous rice lie shiny and moist chicken drumsticks. The thick sauce seeps into the rice little by little, dyeing the crystal clear and plump white rice with a bright brown-red sauce.
Every grain of rice became shiny and glistening, and instantly filled the air with a rich aroma.
It was just some chicken thighs on the rice, but just the smell made one's mouth water.
Under Jiang Cheng's eager gaze, Shen Keting took out a large plate of lettuce with oyster sauce and a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the food box.
Jiang Cheng swallowed his saliva and took out the fish soup sent from home with a smile.
He put the soup bowls on the table and pushed one of them in front of Shen Keting: "Jinyu, this is crucian carp soup, this one is yours."
No matter how thick-skinned Jiang Cheng was, he still felt a little embarrassed every time he took advantage of Chen Ke Ting's meals.
In addition to bringing gifts to visit the Shen Mansion from time to time during his days off, when on duty, Jiang Cheng would always ask the family cook to cook some nourishing soup and send it to the government office.
Although it is not nice to shamelessly take other people's food, Jiang Cheng would be more painful if he could only watch the delicious food in front of him but not be able to eat it.
"Thank you very much."
Shen Keting took out the serving chopsticks and skillfully gave half of the rice to Jiang Cheng.
"Eat it."
As early as when Shen Keting was distributing the food, Jiang Cheng was already sitting in his seat with chopsticks in hand, waiting with anticipation on his face.
Jiang Cheng was excited as he looked at the delicious-looking teriyaki chicken leg rice in front of him.
After thanking him, he started eating.
Shen Keting also picked up his chopsticks and picked up a small chicken drumstick.
As the chopsticks moved, the sauce on the chicken leg seemed to flow down, but it hung on the chicken meat tremblingly, unwilling to slide off for a long time.
Shen Keting brought the chicken leg to his mouth and took a bite.
The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, very tasty.
Chew it, and you’ll find a mixture of sweet and salty, fresh with a hint of sweet, and salty with a hint of fragrance…
Swallow the chicken in your mouth, then use chopsticks to pick up a handful of rice and put it into your mouth. The full and rich feeling makes you feel instantly satisfied.
The rice is soft but not mushy, and has a nice aroma.
Every grain of rice has absorbed the essence of the teriyaki sauce, making it soft and chewy.
It's really delicious.
Shen Keting ate a few mouthfuls of rice and a handful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The tomato is juicy, sweet and slightly sour. When you eat it with the fragrant and tender eggs, the fragrance from nature slowly comes and blooms gracefully on the tip of your tongue.
Although this fragrance is simple, it warms the heart.
Jiang Cheng was also eating, taking a bite of chicken leg, a bite of rice, and a bite of vegetables.
The chicken thighs are tender and juicy, and they combine perfectly with the sweet teriyaki sauce during the cooking process.
Put it into your mouth with chopsticks and take a light bite, the chicken will melt in your mouth, releasing the rich meaty aroma and the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce.
Next, the tip of your tongue will feel the unique flavor of the teriyaki sauce.
Fragrant, sweet, fresh...all kinds of flavors are intertwined together, which not only satisfies the taste buds' desire for sweets, but also brings a salty and fresh taste experience.
The soft and glutinous white rice absorbs the essence of the chicken and sauce, and tastes oily, fresh, fragrant, dense and delicious.
Every bite I take is filled with satisfaction and happiness.
“It’s delicious.”
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, then picked up the lettuce with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The lettuce is crisp, refreshing, fresh and sweet.
Chewing it carefully, the refreshing fragrance fills your lips and teeth. The rich taste of teriyaki complements each other, and every bite is unforgettable.
As Jiang Cheng was eating, he suddenly remembered something.
"Jinyu, I've been so busy these days that I forgot to ask you something."
Shen Keting ate without raising his head: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Cheng picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful of crucian carp soup: "Have you asked Princess Yinghua if she told you the secret of the wishing box?"
After they and their colleagues in the Hanlin Academy discussed the wooden box that day, Jiang Cheng privately asked Shen Keting if he knew the inside story. Shen Keting said he didn't know, but he could ask Shen Huazheng when he got home.
"What secret?"
Shen Keting was eating happily and didn't think about what Jiang Cheng was talking about.
Jiang Cheng looked mysterious: "It's the wooden box for drawing blind boxes of milk tea."
Chen Keting: "Oh, that wooden box. I asked my little sister, and she said it was just an ordinary wooden box. I don't know how those rumors spread."
Jiang Cheng understood: "Jin Yu, I understand!!"
After hearing so many rumors about the wooden boxes in the food court, Jiang Cheng was more inclined to believe that Shen Huazheng herself was not an ordinary person.
When you think about it carefully, every single thing that Shen Huazheng had experienced was so unbelievable that even a storybook wouldn't dare to write it that way.
Jiang Cheng felt that the Shen family should know something.
However, saying some things may not be good for Shen Huazheng.
These thoughts were originally just guesses, but after getting Chen Keting's answer, they became more certain.
Chen Keting: ???
What did he understand???
Jiang Cheng patted Shen Keting on the shoulder: “Jinyu, don’t worry, I won’t say anything nonsense.”
He would not do anything that would be detrimental to Shen Huazheng.
From today on, this is an unspoken secret between them.
