Chapter 24: Frowning
The other two roommates were not in a hurry to eat. They just took out their phones and took pictures with excitement. Only after they took satisfactory photos did they start to savor the food carefully.
The ice jelly is chewy and the jam is sweet and fragrant. The two are perfectly blended together. Add to that the various small toppings on top, and after eating a bowl, you will feel relaxed and refreshed all over.
Especially the fruit seeds, when paired with nuts, enrich the taste of the ice jelly by several layers, making it impossible to stop eating.
Fangfang was very satisfied: "The jam tastes amazing, it's really delicious!"
"Those ordinary ice jelly are completely defeated. This kind of sweet taste is not at all as greasy as brown sugar!" Li Wanzi also deeply agreed.
The other two students were even more beaming. They had already fallen in love with cowpea buns, and they never expected that the ordinary ice jelly in this store could be so delicious.
I posted the photos I took before on my Moments, and soon someone commented and replied below.
[These flowers are so beautiful. Where can I eat delicious food? ]
[No wonder you guys rushed out as soon as class was over. You were going to eat delicious food. Why didn't you take me with you?]
I love this ice jelly, it tastes so good, I want to try it too!
【Want to eat +1】
WeChat was buzzing non-stop, with many people wanting to ask them for help and bring back a bowl of ice jelly to try.
Bai Mengmeng was secretly happy when she saw that they packed a lot of portions. It seemed that ice jelly was more popular than she thought.
He generously took out a large jar from the refrigerator and gave it to a few people: "You bought so many portions, this jam is for you. You can eat it directly when you have nothing to do, or spread it on bread, or add it to tea. It should be very good."
Fangfang exclaimed in surprise, "Boss is so generous!"
…
Mother Qi had eaten the bacon rice before and she had been thinking about it ever since. She thought it was so delicious, so she would occasionally take time out to go to Qiongye Restaurant.
When I saw the ice jelly this time, I was very excited, especially since I used to eat this fruit when I was a child, so I also thought about buying some fruit to take back.
But when I arrived at the restaurant and saw the blackboard full of vegetables, I couldn't help but smile.
"Boss, no wonder there are so few people in the store today. They must be scared by the menu, right?"
Bai Mengmeng spread her hands and said, "I've been too busy lately. I really don't have time to buy meat. Besides, there are too many vegetables in the field. I have to sell them quickly."
Qi Ma had been here many times before and found that the vegetarian dishes in this restaurant were very delicious. Although the cooking method was not outstanding, the taste was particularly good.
After frowning for a while, Qi Ma finally couldn't help but speak: "Then let me help you burn it off. Give me a loofah soup and a stir-fried cowpea. Don't give me too much rice. I need to save some room for ice jelly. Give me a bowl of ice jelly."
These dishes were not difficult to make, and the ice jelly was prepared early, so they were served on the table in no time.
I took a bite of the ice jelly first, and my face was immediately filled with emotion. It was like the taste deep in my memory, which had not changed at all after all these years.
Moreover, the jam seemed to be even more delicious than when she was a child. Even though her memory was embellished, Qi's mother had to admit that this ice jelly was better than when she was a child.
I took another bite of the fried cowpea, it was fragrant and crispy. I don’t know how it was made. It looked very greasy, but it tasted very refreshing in my mouth. The skin was a little crispy, but there was no greasiness in the plate.
I originally wanted to lose weight and didn’t plan to eat too much rice, but these dishes were so delicious that in a short while, I had eaten up half a bowl of rice.
Then, Mother Qi drank the soup slowly. Although the loofah soup was cooked thoroughly, its color was still green, and the taste was mild with a hint of sweetness, without any bitterness at all.
It turns out that the food can be delicious without adding broth.
After the meal, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she took a bag and picked some large banyan fruits to buy and take back to satisfy her craving.
Then she saw the boss giving jam to people. She felt comfortable and didn't feel bad at all. She couldn't help but say, "Boss, this country has worked so hard to make this jam, and it's so delicious, why give it away for free? It would be much better to sell it and make money."
Bai Mengmeng smiled slightly: "These fruits are originally from the mountains, they are not worth two cents, and they are all regular customers."
The main reason is that these things cannot be sold. These are all secondary processed products. If there is no license, you will definitely be fined if someone reports it.
After all, the restaurant’s business is getting better and better now. Who knows if the surrounding stores will be jealous?
If I report her for selling no-products and fine her heavily, wouldn't all my work for the past six months be in vain?
When Qi Ma left, she also received a batch of free jam. She immediately stopped persuading others and left contentedly.
…
As a result, after returning home, before she even changed her shoes, the nanny whispered to her:
"The boss seems angry, go and have a look."
Mother Qi hurried to the bedroom and found Father Qi yelling at the phone.
"What do you mean? Even if you're not feeling well, you should still fulfill your promise. If you can't do it, you shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place. Tomorrow is the old man's birthday. Where are you going to find someone now?!"
No one knew what was said on the other end of the phone, but Dad Qi hung up the phone directly, shaking with anger.
"What happened?" Qi's mother hurried forward to comfort her.
Qi Xiuyuan took a few deep breaths and spoke slowly, "You know tomorrow is the old man's birthday. I originally invited the chef from Bodhi House, but he called me today and said he wasn't feeling well. Where do you think I can find a chef now?"
Mother Qi's expression suddenly changed.
How can you regret it at the last minute!
You know, they had already made the reservation three months in advance, but they suddenly changed their minds today. How could this be possible!
You should know that the old man is a Buddhist, likes vegetarianism, and is very low-key. He never holds a big celebration for his birthday. He just invites relatives and friends for a small meal.
In order to make the old man happy, the couple went to the nationally famous Bodhi Pavilion a long time ago and found the chef Master Sun to book a banquet.
Qi Xiuyuan's heart was boiling with anger. "I don't think there's anything wrong with his health. Even if something really happened, he should have found a replacement. Maybe it was Big Brother's fault!"
Mother Qi took a deep breath.
She grew up in a poor family, but Qi's father was born into a large family. However, he and his eldest brother were not born of the same mother. After the old man's first wife died, he remarried and gave birth to Qi Xiuyuan.
The elder sister left by the first wife treated her younger brother Qi Xiuyuan well, but the eldest brother could not stand her.
Qi's father didn't want to fall out with his brothers, so he went out on his own and insisted on marrying Qi's mother, who was not a good match for him. The old man was extremely angry, so Qi's father had to move out.
The eldest brother became the only successor, so he was naturally very proud.
Originally, the two sons took turns messing up the birthday party. The eldest brother had asked them several times where they would find a cook. It turned out that he had a conspiracy in his mind and wanted to embarrass them both.
The couple were both worried for a moment.
