Chen Suwen took her four children out to eat, but instead of going to the Suwen Grand Restaurant, she chose a restaurant with a rich history and tradition.
After the reform and opening up, the restaurant reopened. The years of abandonment before didn't have much of an impact, and the head chef was still the same one.
Chen Suwen was quite satisfied with this restaurant; the chef's dishes were particularly authentically Cantonese.
"Is it really Five-Finger Peach Chicken?" Chen Suwen was very surprised to find Five-Finger Peach today. This stuff is delicious whether you stew chicken or braise chicken.
The steamed chicken was also delicious.
"What would you like to eat?" Zhou Qingyun placed the menu in front of his wife. "Steamed chicken, or chicken stewed with five-finger peach?"
Chen Suwen glanced at the children around her and said, "We'll have stewed chicken, and we'll add a few more dishes later."
Five-finger peach has a flavor similar to coconut. When stewing chicken, it tastes like coconut chicken, but its flavor is actually stronger.
After ordering the chicken stewed with five-finger peach, Chen Suwen also ordered six roast goose legs, just the lower part of the goose, which would be a little more expensive.
But Chen Suwen didn't care. She really liked roast goose legs, so she figured it wouldn't hurt to give each of the six of them a roast goose leg.
Besides these, there are of course green vegetables, such as blanched bok choy, lettuce with oyster sauce, and cabbage in broth. She doesn't eat other vegetables like water spinach or sweet potato leaves here.
Since we've come all this way to eat at someone else's restaurant, there's no need to spend money on food we usually eat.
"Wow, goose leg!" Zhou Xian was extremely excited when he saw the roast goose leg brought out by the waiter. Such a big goose leg could be eaten by each person.
Zhou Qingyun picked up a roast goose leg from the plate and gave one to everyone. He even planned to put the last one in Chen Suwen's bowl.
"No need, one for each of us is just right, so you don't need to give me yours." Chen Suwen covered the mouth of her bowl, preventing him from putting the roast goose leg into her bowl.
Zhou Qingyun had a faint smile on his face. "Can you be satisfied with just one goose leg? Why don't you just eat both?"
Zhou Qingyun didn't say he didn't like to eat it. After being married for decades, Chen Suwen knew very well what he liked and disliked.
Therefore, he had no reason to lie to her.
Chen Suwen shook her head, "You eat yours, I'll order more if I'm not full."
Seeing her like this, Zhou Qingyun didn't insist. After putting the roast goose leg in his own bowl, he called the waiter over and asked for two more roast goose legs.
The waiter looked at the couple in surprise.
These two are really rich! They ordered so much roast goose from Xiazhuang. They're really generous.
However, the waitress didn't say much; she just secretly envied the customer's willingness to spend money, thinking that she could also earn money if the customer ordered more.
"Guests, our restaurant doesn't allow food waste. Are you sure you want to order two more roast goose legs?" the waiter confirmed.
"Yes, order two more. We'll pack up any leftovers to take home," Zhou Qingyun said, handing the menu to the waiter.
"Okay, please wait a moment, the roast goose leg will be served shortly."
Actually, the roast goose legs at this restaurant are quite popular. It's just that Chen Suwen and her group were lucky today. They didn't sell many roast goose legs all morning, which is why she was able to buy so many now.
Zhou Mingye and the others were already used to seeing their grandparents interact; their grandparents truly had a very good relationship.
They've seen how other people's elders get along, but none of them are as good as their grandparents.
But right now, the main thing is still eating roast goose legs.
The roast goose leg was absolutely delicious! The crispy skin was incredibly fragrant, and the meat inside was tender and juicy. It wasn't too firm or tough to chew.
The tender and juicy goose meat is especially fragrant, and it becomes even more refreshing and less greasy after being dipped in a little sauce. I feel like I could eat two more large roast goose legs.
"It's so delicious! I want to eat lots and lots of roast goose legs again!" Zhou Mingye said excitedly.
When Chen Suwen heard him say that, she looked at him with pity.
It's a pity, young man. Once you embark on the path of an athlete, there are many things you can't eat.
Athletes have many dietary restrictions, and there are very few people who can make food taste exceptionally good, excluding the foods that athletes cannot eat.
Chen Suwen could do it herself, but she was already fifty years old, and there was no way she could become a cook in the athletes' canteen.
All she wants now is to enjoy her retirement and be a carefree "old lady".
Therefore, Zhou Mingye will only be able to eat foods that are good for athletes, but may not necessarily taste good.
Let's eat as much as we can while we still can.
Zhao Lexin continued to gnaw on the roast goose leg without a care in the world. She didn't get carried away and choose her own career path just because Zhou Mingye decided to become an athlete.
She doesn't feel that just because they are both adopted children of Chen Suwen, she has to compare herself to Zhou Mingye.
Zhou Mingye has great athletic talent, and Zhao Lexin didn't intend to compete with him in this area.
She knows very well where her strengths lie.
So she calmed down and decided to focus on her studies and talk about it again after she went to university.
...
"Ms. Chen Suwen, I never expected to meet you here."
Just as Chen Su and her companions were finishing their meal and preparing to leave, they ran into an acquaintance they weren't very familiar with—
I met Mr. Kan at Suwen Restaurant before.
"Ms. Chen, are you out with your children?" Mr. Kan greeted Chen Suwen with a smile. Of course, he didn't forget Zhou Qingyun either, and even took care of the children, greeting them one by one.
