Chapter 628 Braised Lamb
Xue Guixiang said, "This is braised lamb. The chef just introduced it to you. Have you forgotten it?"
Lin Qingqing ate the meat in big mouthfuls, trying hard not to laugh.
Xue Guiqin's face suddenly turned red and white.
The chef introduced so many dishes just now that she only remembered the braised pig's tendon. As for the braised lamb, she really forgot about it.
It seemed as if she had never eaten mutton before and couldn't tell the difference between pork and mutton.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but I think this mutton is overcooked and tastes like pork. It tastes much lighter than the mutton at home. This kind of mutton is not worthy of being called mutton." Xue Guiqin rolled her eyes arrogantly.
Qiao Jingzhen said slowly, "This state-owned restaurant uses authentic lamb shipped from Inner Mongolia, the best lamb in the country. Is the lamb you eat at home imported from abroad?"
Xue Guiqin's family actually rarely eats mutton. They had eaten it once several years ago, and she had almost forgotten what it tasted like.
Her family was not wealthy, and only Zhao Huabin worked in the oil field. Given the material scarcity in the environment, it was good enough for them to eat pork a few times a month to satisfy their cravings.
Mutton production is low, the price is high, and it is difficult to buy.
Xue Guiqin was furious. For an old cook, it was a great honor to sit at the same table with the owner to eat, but this old woman actually dared to confront the owner. How could this be disgraceful?
Her eldest sister's family spoils her too much!
"Is our lamb imported from abroad? I'm afraid it's not your turn to question it. This is probably your first time eating lamb. You actually said that local lamb is from Inner Mongolia. You are really surprised."
Xue Guixiang didn't like her sister speaking in that tone.
But she couldn't bear to see her sister and Qiao Jingzhen quarreling.
"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
"Sister, where did you find this old woman who cooks for you? Just fire her right away."
Xue Guiqin's words became increasingly unpleasant to the ear.
She still resented Qiao Jingzhen for ruining her clothes.
If you offend her, there will be no good consequences. You can fire this old woman in minutes.
"Guiqin, talk less." Xue Guixiang warned her in a low voice.
"I have to say this! Who is this old woman to you? You bring her with you when you go out to eat. Don't you think she's a burden?"
Lin Qingqing sneered, thinking that Xue Guiqin was already so old, yet so immature.
Zhou Zhuo's face was also cold.
He had no feelings for this aunt, but he had been with Qiao Jingzhen for a long time and they had a good relationship.
Only Qiao Jingzhen didn't say anything. He had a calm expression and ate slowly.
She ate slowly and elegantly, as if she hadn't heard what Xue Guiqin said at all.
That's true. If a dog bites you, it would be inappropriate for you to bite back.
Qiao Jingzhen tasted a piece of mutton seriously and nodded to the waiter beside him to express his gratitude: "Thank you for making such high-quality mutton for us."
The waitress had just heard that there was something wrong with the tone of the people at this table and didn't dare to interrupt. Now that she saw the old lady speaking so kindly, she became a little bolder.
"The mutton in our store is made from fat lambs shipped from Inner Mongolia. They are freshly slaughtered and sold, so they taste very delicious."
Qiao Jingzhen looked at Lin Qingqing beside him and said with a smile, "Eat it. If you don't, such good mutton will be wasted."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of meat for each of Lin Qingqing and Zhou Zhuo on both sides.
He also picked up a piece for Xue Guixiang.
The last piece for myself.
