Food taster?
Qin Jiao was eager to try, and Xie Qian nodded slowly.
Xie Qian didn't have much hope for Wen Ying's cooking skills, as he could see that the two girls had a little secret.
Xie Qian felt that Wen Ying was not loyal, so after returning to Rongcheng and parting with Qin Jiao, Xie Qian asked Wen Ying to keep what happened in Changtan Lake a secret.
"...I don't want to make my cousin worry."
"Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person!"
Wen Ying was very willing to keep the secret, and Xie Qian couldn't help but nudge her: "Your uncle should tell your aunt, right? Don't let your aunt spill the beans in front of my cousin."
"No, my uncle is hiding it from my aunt."
Wen Ying's promise did not make Xie Qian very happy.
Your uncle hides small things from your aunt, and it is easier for him to hide big things.
In Xie Qian's eyes, the slow-witted Wen Ying is definitely linked to the hamster. It can be predicted that Xie Qian will not change his opinion for a long time to come.
When Xie Qian returned to the Jiang family, Lin Lin asked him if Changtan Lake was fun. Xie Qian couldn't mention the incident of falling into the water, so he lied, which was a rare occurrence.
"It's fun. Wen Ying's friends are all very enthusiastic."
Lin Lin was very happy. "Then you should go out and play with Wen Ying's friends more often in the future. If you want, you can even invite them to your home!"
After telling a lie, he had to cover it up with more lies. Xie Qian felt helpless.
Wen Ying wants to promote crayfish to Chengdu's late-night snack market, so she must make preparations beforehand.
Deng Shangwei and Boss Qin were dealing with Yu Wenhao in Pu County, but they did not forget what they promised Wen Ying. They asked someone to help Wen Ying collect 20 kilograms of crayfish from the countryside and bring them to Rongcheng. As soon as Wen Ying returned to Rongcheng, Sister Fang from Deng Shangwei's company contacted her and personally delivered the crayfish to Wen Ying.
"Why would you want to eat this? The head is big and the shell is heavy, and there's only a little edible meat on the tail. It smells like mud."
Sister Fang works in a fishery company. Apart from anything else, she definitely has the benefit of buying seafood at low prices.
For those who are used to eating seafood, eating these "aquatic products" from the ditches in the fields will naturally have a strong muddy smell. Fang Jie is not prejudiced against crayfish. She treats loaches and river crabs equally and never eats them!
Wen Ying was carrying a bucket of shrimps, just like she was carrying a bucket of banknotes.
There is definitely a muddy smell, so the cuisine developed around crayfish tends to have a heavier flavor.
When all the wild crayfish have been eaten up by foodies, the only crayfish left on the market are farmed ones. Farmed crayfish have better quality control, and some chefs have developed cooking methods such as steaming them... In the late-night snack market, steamed crayfish is not the mainstream, and diners who like this kind of crayfish prefer the heavy flavor.
After being cooked with heavy oil and spices, the muddy smell of crayfish is gone. The disadvantage of big heads and heavy shells in Fangjie's mouth is transformed into the joy of peeling shrimps. The feeling of sucking on the shrimp heads is like sucking on snails. Invite a few friends to feast on a bowl of crayfish at a late-night snack stall. Eating is all about the atmosphere!
When He Zhen first met Wen Ying, he acted like an elite rich second-generation who had returned from studying abroad. He invited Wen Ying to Michelin restaurants and invited her to watch plays and concerts. Wen Ying had already realized that He Zhen might be interested in her. If it were someone else, they might have concealed their personality to please He Zhen and used all means to catch this rich son-in-law.
Wen Ying is not an ordinary person.
She was fed up with her parents' desire for control, so she went to Shanghai alone to work hard.
It's okay to fall in love and turn her into a vase that depends on others and has no opinions of her own... Sorry, she can't do it. If she has to give up herself to be with He Zhen, and have to eat at the mercy of her "boyfriend", then why doesn't she go back to her hometown and eat at the mercy of her parents?
Compared to a "boyfriend" who is uncertain whether they can get married, the job given to her by her blood-related parents is obviously more secure!
Not to mention relationships between men and women, even ordinary friends should pay attention to give and take. He Zhen invited her to a Michelin restaurant, and Wen Ying wanted to treat He Zhen to some down-to-earth food in return.
Wen Ying took He Zhen to a food stall to eat crayfish.
This kind of life belongs to Wen Ying. If He Zhen cannot accept it, it means that the two of them are not suitable.
He Zhen did not behave abnormally during that meal.
Wen Ying ate more of the crayfish, and He Zhen also tried it. Wen Ying did not scare He Zhen away.
And He Zhen kept peeling shrimps for her... Wen Ying was a little touched at the time, and thought He Zhen was a gentleman. Later, after being with He Zhen and getting to know him better, she realized that He Zhen was actually not used to the food, and kept peeling shrimps for her. She ate more, and He Zhen could eat less openly!
He Zhen doesn't like dishes with heavy spices, and thinks that seasonings are needed to save the ingredients if they are not good enough.
Although Wen Ying discovered his little thoughts, He Zhen was not panicked. He took Wen Ying to a Ningbo restaurant in Shanghai and ordered a dish of Huadiao crayfish for her.
Every shrimp with its head removed has rich roe. The aroma of wine overflows when you take it in your mouth, and the sweetness blooms in your mouth, making Wen Ying experience the joy of eating sea urchin.
Such crayfish are certainly not cheap. The price of a few shrimps is enough for Wen Ying to order a whole bowl at the late-night snack stall.
Although it tasted delicious, Wen Ying felt that the happy atmosphere of eating crayfish was lost.
She gave her evaluation truthfully. He Zhen was speechless and obviously misunderstood. After all, Wen Ying was a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing. Her love for hometown cuisine was deeply rooted in her taste buds and was not easy to change.
Wen Ying thought that this matter was over. Not long after, He Zhen took her to a private restaurant again.
This time we didn’t eat Ningbo cuisine, but Sichuan cuisine. Wen Ying tasted the amazing Sichuan braised shrimp!
At that moment, Wen Ying became determined to become a barrister and make a lot of money, because the disagreement between her and He Zhen was perfectly resolved with the help of his money.
