Chapter 104 Meow Meow



Chapter 104 Meow Meow

Huo's ancestral home, on the dining table.

Just when Huo Ye was dazzled by the roast duck leftovers such as duck bone soup and duck fat steamed eggs, old lady Huo was sitting at the other end of the long table, enjoying her roast duck with dignity.

'Reserved' may not be the right word.

She sat at the dining table with her back straight and an elegant posture, holding a knife and fork in both hands, the full green jade bracelet on her wrist dangling gently.

...If you ignore the gleam in her eyes, her wide-open mouth and the saliva flowing from the corners of her mouth, this would be a very noble picture.

There were two kinds of roast duck placed in front of Mrs. Huo.

On the left is the simply heated, authentic roast duck, accompanied by spring roll skin and cucumber and green onion shreds given by Boss Xiaolan.

When eating roast duck, it is important to make sure it is fresh from the oven. This roast duck that has been out for most of the day is not as steaming hot as when it was just out of the oven, but it still looks crispy and tempting. The plump, bright red crispy skin has collapsed slightly, but it is still in no way inferior to the appearance of most freshly-baked roast ducks on the market.

On the right, there is a roast duck being heated in a casserole on a small stove.

The marinade in the casserole was bubbling, and the roast duck slices inside were fully absorbed by the marinade, floating in the soup, and the aroma of the marinade was fragrant. The roast duck that has been moistened by the brine has a more mellow flavor than the crispy roast duck just out of the oven. The reddish-brown crispy skin soaked in juice and the shiny surface of the duck meat make it even more tempting.

The aroma of roast duck that Huo Ye smelled when he entered the door came from this small casserole.

When you open the casserole, along with the steaming white mist, the aroma is completely released, and the rich marinade and salty aroma hit your nose...

Mrs. Huo couldn't bear it any longer, so she picked up a piece of roast duck with chopsticks and quickly put it into her mouth.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

After taking a bite of the roast duck, Mrs. Huo felt relaxed all over.

The hot roast duck, the originally crispy duck skin is full of fragrant brine, the taste is soft and chewy, take a bite, the delicious roast duck juice flows out, still with a burnt aroma and a hint of smoky fruit wood aroma, the meat oil under the skin also spreads as you chew...

The roast duck, which had been left out for half a day, was already cold, but under the heating of the marinade, the duck meat inside became slightly hot again, accompanied by the soft and tough bright red crispy skin. The delicate and dense taste while chewing is so addictive.

At this time, take another bite of the rice mixed with the sticky soup. The sticky and fragrant rice absorbs the brine, and combined with the rich aroma of the roast duck, it is simply a killer.

Mrs. Huo had to force herself to stop and savor the food after taking two bites. She wiped her slightly moist eyes and said with emotion:

"If I could eat such delicious roast duck every day, I would be willing to do so even if my stock price soared and I became the richest man in the world!"

The servants next to him: "..."

Because of professional training and extremely high professional ethics, everyone appears calm on the surface.

But the barrage in my heart has reached the sky!

As the two plates of roast duck were served, while Mrs. Huo was devouring them, the smell of the roast duck gradually spread throughout the house.

Not to mention Huo Ye, even the Huo family's chefs and servants, who had seen the world, almost couldn't control themselves when they smelled the fragrance.

For example, Aunt Wang, who has worked in the house for more than 20 years and has never made a mistake, broke a plate by accident when she was washing dishes today because she was too greedy by the smell.

Not to mention the chefs working in the kitchen.

Looking at the delicious roast duck in front of them, the chefs used up all their life's self-control and kept reminding themselves how much salary they had to receive from the Huo family every month, and only then did they barely stop themselves from doing some small acts of cheating.

But the servants knew their positions. Although they were jealous, they could not really take food from their employers. However, they could not avoid gossiping in private:

"Didn't Madam always eat Western-style cold dishes? Why did you change your mind today?"

"Where did you buy this roast duck? Why is it so fragrant? It's too fragrant! And the quality of the duck meat is so tender and dense. Ordinary roast ducks are not of this level at all..."

"It's the roast duck that my wife brought back from outside. It must be very expensive. Ordinary people like us shouldn't even think about it."

"I heard that the eldest young master is coming back today. Could it be that Madam bought it for the young master?"

Thinking of this, many people felt a little jealous of Huo Ye.

Who can blame others for reincarnation?

Not only have you surpassed 99% of the people in the country since birth, you have also achieved a life of easy victory. Take the delicious roast duck for example. Ordinary people probably wouldn’t have the blessing to eat it in several lifetimes, but Huo Ye can eat it easily.

Of course, Huo Ye himself thought so too.

...Not long ago, Huo Ye naively thought that all the delicious roast duck leftovers he had eaten were just a prelude.

This steamed roast duck was specially prepared for him by his mother, and he was sure that he could also eat it.

Until the chef carried two plates of roast duck and walked straight to Mrs. Huo without even looking at Huo Ye.

Huo Ye thought it would be his turn soon.

When serving food, give it to the elders first, then to the younger ones.

It is normal to have differences between the old and the young.

So Huo Ye waited and waited, and waited...

Mrs. Huo had almost finished half of her roast duck, but there was still no movement on his side.

Huo Ye gradually began to feel restless:

"No, where's my roast duck?!"

The chef looked at Huo Ye with pity.

——Huo Ye may not know clearly, but those of them working in the kitchen know it very well.

Where is there any other roast duck left for Huo Ye!

Because of the purchase limit, Mrs. Huo only bought one roast duck from Boss Xiaolan’s stall. She ate half of it on the spot and took the remaining half back. The remaining half was divided into two, one half was kept original and the other half was made into roast duck.

As for the leftovers, the chef would simply process them and give them to Huo Ye to eat.

Be thrifty and plan every part clearly so there is no waste.

...Even giving the leftovers to Huo Ye to eat made Mrs. Huo feel very painful. She lingered in front of the duck bone soup and duck oil steamed eggs for a long time, reluctantly waving her hand and asking the chef to take them to Huo Ye.

"This is a sacrifice I have to make for the long-term plan." Old Madam Huo sighed.

How could Mrs. Huo, who was reluctant to give even the leftovers to her own son, be willing to give up her precious roast duck?

It's a dream!

And now, all the remaining roast duck was placed in front of Mrs. Huo. She took a piece of roast duck roll in her left hand and a piece of steamed roast duck in her right hand, and ate happily.

The two sides of the long dining table are like two different worlds.

Mrs. Huo on the left is immersed in the deliciousness of the roast duck, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.

Huo Ye on the right stared at old Madam Huo who was eating roast duck. He kept swallowing his saliva, and his eyes turned red.

The servants gradually came to their senses and looked at Huo Ye with sympathy.

"It seems that Madam never intended to share the roast duck with the young master. She was just using the leftovers to tease him."

“That’s too cruel.”

"If it were me, I would go crazy right here..."

They were envious of Huo Ye just now, but now they are not envious at all.

The delicious roast duck is so close yet so far away, I can see it but cannot eat it, this torture is too painful!

Finally, when there was only half of the roast duck left in front of Mrs. Huo, Huo Ye could no longer bear it.

Seven courses.

There are seven total leftovers!

Whether it was duck bone soup, steamed eggs with duck fat, or the spicy duck neck with braised rice, he could taste the crispiness of the roast duck in every dish, but he just couldn't get to eat the actual roast duck. The more this happened, the more he developed endless expectations and fantasies about the roast duck.

The anticipation has been built up to this extent, and you tell him there is no roast duck to eat? ? ! ! !

The Huo family’s dining table is too long.

Huo Ye, who was sitting at one end of the dining table, could not see the scene at the other end. He had no choice but to pick up the telescope and look through it to see Mrs. Huo pick up a piece of roast duck with chopsticks...

Through the telescope, the plump crispy skin of the roast duck, the duck meat soaked in marinade, and even the fragrant fat under the skin are all clearly visible.

Just looking at the roast duck makes people start to imagine what it tastes like and drool.

But Huo Ye couldn't eat it.

Not only could he not eat it, he could only watch the piece of roast duck being put into his mother's mouth.

Huo Ye's chest began to heave violently.

He wanted to rush over right now, grab the duck by the waist, and say with red eyes and a hoarse voice: "Give me a bite, and I'll give you my life."

As a calm and elegant overbearing CEO, Huo Ye never showed his emotions, unless he was forced into a desperate situation, lost his loved ones, and was heartbroken. Any small opportunity could make him lose his mind...

For example, right now.

"Master," the chef who had been sent to the other side of the table came back and said politely, "Madam said that your dinner has been served. There are seven courses in total."

"Roast duck...is not on your menu."

Huo Ye: “…”

Huo Ye: “…………”

Huo Ye completely collapsed!

With a bang.

Huo Ye slammed the table and stood up!

"Mother, don't go too far." Huo Ye said in a deep voice.

Old Madam Huo stopped eating. All the chefs, housekeepers and servants also fell silent, looking at Huo Ye calmly with a look of panic, but in their hearts they were all very enthusiastic about eating the melon.

Oh no.

Mother and son become enemies? Feuds and disputes among wealthy families? Are we going to fight? Watch a play, watch a play, watch a play.

The servants in the kitchen were all whispering excitedly:

"As a domineering CEO, the young master will definitely look directly at the lady with his dark pupils and casually say cool lines..."

"As the originator of the domineering CEO, Madam will definitely use the inheritance of the family business to intimidate the young master. She is extremely majestic and domineering."

"Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas? Oh my god, I can actually see it with my own eyes. It's really..."

Huo Ye and Old Madam Huo stared at each other from a distance.

There was intimidation, calculation, and complexity in the eyes of both men, and they had already killed several enemies while their eyes were exchanged.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, as if a major battle, a peak contest of intelligence was about to break out.

Until the next second.

Everyone watched as Huo Ye rolled up his sleeves, climbed onto the dining table, and then...

He got on his hands and feet, and like a giant cockroach, he crawled across the dining table in the dark, heading towards the two plates of roast duck aggressively:

“I’m determined to eat this roast duck!”
