Xiaoqi is a typical foodie. She doesn't need to say anything when she eats; her series of physical actions provide the most direct visual effect, and it couldn't be more real.
A little boy being held in his elder's arms almost cried from cravings. Pointing at the few remaining pieces of pig brain in Xiao Qi's bowl, he twisted his waist and whined, "Grandpa, I want to eat that! I want to eat that!"
After Xiaoqi finished eating the pig brain, seeing that the next dish hadn't arrived yet, she simply stood there licking her bowl clean.
Saburo whispered a few words to Stone, and Stone ran over and lifted the largest basin.
Inside lay an enormous ghost crab, bigger than a regular washbasin.
"The finest ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods." Stone circled the basin, and as if by magic, a pair of scissors appeared in his hand. Confidently, he cut off one of the ghost crab's legs.
With effortless skill, the crab shell was peeled open, the crab leg meat was removed, and arranged one by one on a snow-white plate.
In the center of the plate was only a small dish of soy sauce and ground mustard, which contrasted sharply with the crab meat.
When the crab meat was served, Saburo used clean bamboo chopsticks to pick up a piece of crab meat, dipped it in a little soy sauce, and handed it to the child who was drooling with envy.
The child immediately stopped crying and grabbed some crab meat, stuffing it haphazardly into his mouth.
"Meat, more meat! Grandpa, I want to eat meat!" The child cried even louder!
His actions were exactly the same as Xiao Qi's; after finishing the meat, he kept licking his lips, licking again and again.
Is the soy sauce really that delicious?
"Mom, didn't the flyer say that the hot pot and sashimi would be delivered to our door for free? Let's order a hot pot feast to take home and try it! And we'll also order a ghost crab! Oh dear, I don't care, either you and my sisters eat here tonight, or Mom, order a feast for us and send it home!"
The girl in purple who had previously set her sights on Shen Shusheng was now stimulated by the hot pot and sashimi, clinging to the woman next to her like a taffy, refusing to let go.
The woman's eyebrows shot up, and she lightly pinched the girl in purple, cursing, "You brat! I don't even know if you're worth the price of a ghost crab if I sold you, and you dare to ask for it!"
"If you don't want to spend the money, the sisters can chip in and have a meal here. We won't be entertaining guests tonight!" The girl in purple arrogantly pushed away the woman's arm and pinched her own waist.
The girl in green in front also turned around, blinked her big, bright eyes, and nodded frantically: "I agree, I agree! I brought the money!"
The woman yelled angrily, "A bunch of heartless bastards! I brought you out to see a show and you all think it's not right? I don't agree!"
The girl in green turned around, hugged the woman's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Mom, I've choreographed a new dance..."
The woman rolled her eyes and poked the girl in green hard on the forehead with her finger. "Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! What will you do when you're so fat you can't even jump?"
"Hehehe...Mom is so good!"
Looking back at Xiaoqi eating crab legs, she was completely unable to stop.
The snow-white crab leg meat was longer than Xiaoqi's hand. He dipped the crab leg in the soy sauce dish and rolled it over and over again until the crab leg meat turned a dark brown color before taking a bite with relish.
This child's eating manners are so tempting that not only children can't resist, but even adults experience a surge in salivary gland secretions.
Needless to say, the aroma of the hot pot was amazing. Chef Ding even cooked dishes on the spot, and you could see those unassuming meats and vegetables slowly changing color in the pot. The appearance and aroma were perfect!
Especially when Chef Ding's recently mastered Dongpo pork came out of the pot, countless people's throats were watering.
Seeing that the appetites of the people outside had been whetted, Aunt Hong pushed a large pot out and came out.
The pot was full of hot pot broth, bubbling and bubbling, and the aroma was so enticing that it made people swallow their saliva.
"Welcome, new and old friends, to the live broadcast of Jiang's Private Kitchen!" Aunt Hong emphasized the word "live broadcast" and checked it in her mind. It was indeed called a live broadcast.
"Jiang's Private Kitchen's newly launched hot pot series is offering a 15% discount to all new customers during the promotion period. Existing customers will receive an additional bottle of soy sauce per table on top of the discount. Our owner has made it clear that Jiang's brewed soy sauce is unique in the market and will not be sold to the public. Don't miss out!"
"During today's live broadcast, we will hold a lucky draw to give some of our new and old customers a free taste of our delicious dishes made with soy sauce and chicken bouillon. I can't say it a thousand times or ten thousand times as well as you taste it for yourselves! Kids, get your bowls and chopsticks ready!"
Then it was Mr. Shen's turn to appear. He praised the food from ancient times to the present, and even compared the Jiang family's private cuisine to the bright and dazzling moon.
"Next, please welcome Jiao Xian to perform 'When Will the Moon Be Bright Again'! Let's give him a round of applause!"
Sanlang stepped onto the stage, holding Anjing's folding fan in his hand. He gently opened it slightly upwards and began to sing softly:
When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace.
"I long to ride the wind and return, yet I fear the jade palaces and crystal towers, where the cold is unbearable at such heights; dancing with my shadow, how can it compare to being in the mortal world..."
"People experience sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon waxes and wanes, and nothing in this world is ever perfect. May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, even from afar..."
Saburo's voice was pure without a trace of noise. His emotions were very well expressed, unlike the plaintive and lingering kind, but it had its own ethereal and otherworldly beauty.
"Mom! Mom!" The woman in purple shook the woman beside her frantically, jumping up and down excitedly.
The woman stood there with her mouth agape, unable to react for a long time, until she was so dizzy from being dazzled by the woman in purple that she finally came to her senses.
"You're courting death!"
"Mom, what beautiful lyrics! What beautiful music!"
"Stop shaking! I'm listening!"
"Mommy, I want this young man...!"
"A child... shut up!"
Not far from the crowd, Leng Shang, the prefect of Yuzhou, stroked his chin and looked at Fu Qiyuan beside him. "You just said that this young man is your sworn brother?"
Fu Qiyuan nodded and said, "That's right. When I was in Guyang County, I had a deep connection with this family. I recognized Sanlang's mother as my godmother."
Prefect Leng said in surprise, "Is that so... I've never heard you mention this before."
Fu Qiyuan smiled wryly: "Shan'er doesn't like to trouble others. I'm new to Yuzhou and don't know the intricacies of officialdom. I'm afraid I might offend someone and become the subject of gossip..."
Prefect Leng glanced at Fu Qiyuan, then turned his gaze to Sanlang, saying meaningfully, "The imperial court has built a port in Zongyang County, and the top scholar has helped the heir of the Marquis of Qingyang to wipe out the pirates. Thanks to the top scholar, I have also been commended by the imperial court. Yuzhou today is no longer the Yuzhou of the past!"
That sentence contains a lot of information!
