Chapter 423 Rong Lao
The spicy fried tofu is a bit strong for young and middle-aged people whose five senses are sensitive and their body functions are at their peak.
It’s just right for this old gentleman.
Whether fried tofu is delicious or not depends on the frying temperature and the soup used to soak the tofu.
In short, there is not much tofu here, and today is the only day that tofu is served. The tofu is cut into cubes, fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and finally topped with carefully prepared soup.
One bite and the spicy, salty and fragrant taste was so stimulating that the old man's forehead broke out in sweat.
His tongue had become dull and he could hardly taste anything. Even the Devil's Flavored Nutrient Solution, which was the most unpopular in the Empire and was said to be tossed into the trash for decomposition and destruction, he felt nothing when he drank it except a slight discomfort in his stomach.
I also can't taste what the taste that people say is a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty is like.
But today he tasted it.
It was so spicy that he kept gasping for breath, yet he felt comfortable all over.
After eating all the fried tofu, he drank the soup mouthful after mouthful.
Drinking is extremely enjoyable.
To be honest, the fried tofu soup was a bit salty if you drank it alone, but the old man liked it very much. He finished the soup in a few gulps. He came to the ordering counter with his empty bowl and asked Jin Zhen shyly, "Young man, can you give me some more of this tofu soup?"
Jin Zhen was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly reacted. He took the bowl with a smile and said, "Mr. Rong, please wait a moment. I'll go get you some more."
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble!" After politely thanking him, the old man stood in front of the counter and waited expectantly.
However, the old man did not wait for the tofu soup, but he did wait for the chef Jian Yan and a bowl of tofu broth stewed with various top-quality seafood that she personally brought him.
In the clear broth, there is a layer of tofu shreds as thick as hair. In addition to the scattered oil particles, the soup surface also has green chopped green onions and a few negligible sesame seeds.
"Mr. Rong, I'm sorry to have changed the broth you requested without your permission. The broth for fried tofu is too salty. Drinking too much will make you thirsty. You need to drink water constantly, which will put a heavy strain on your kidneys!"
After explaining his purpose, Jian Yan smiled and said, "This bowl of tofu soup is specially made for you. Don't worry about not being able to taste it. I'll bring it to your table. Is that okay with you?"
Mr. Rong was stunned for a moment, looked at Jian Yan, then looked at the bowl in her hand, thanked her in an extremely kind and gentle manner, and returned to his seat.
Jian Yan put the tofu soup on the table, said "Please enjoy your meal", and was about to leave, but the old man called her.
Remind, "Little girl, you haven't registered your identity yet."
"No, this bowl of tofu soup is my treat."
Worried that the old man might refuse, she smiled and explained the reason, "Thank you for your contributions to the empire over the years, and thank you for your careful guidance of my boyfriend!"
That’s right, Jian Yan knew this old gentleman. It should be said that among the people of the Empire, there were few who didn’t know him.
He is the idol of all soldiers and people in the empire and the most famous commander in the empire.
At the age of 20, he showed amazing conducting talent.
Despite being outnumbered, poorly equipped and without support, he relied on his outstanding command skills and extremely accurate predictive ability to lead his teammates out of the enemy's encirclement.
While waiting for reinforcements to arrive, a counterattack plan was formulated.
And won the battle.
