Chapter 629 Tomato and Beef Brisket
"Tsk, this woman's cooking smells pretty good!"
Xiao Huai flicked his folding fan, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Wan Qiqi, who was tasting the food.
Xiao Han rarely heard his younger brother praise him, so he looked over and became a little curious about Wan Qiqi's dishes.
Who exactly is Wan Qiqi? Why does she know so many strange things, giving him the illusion that Wan Qiqi's knowledge is even broader than his own?
Upon closer inspection, he realized that he must have been influenced by his younger brother and sister to have such a misconception.
Wan Qiqi is clearly very ordinary.
Wan Qiqi knew the stew in the pot smelled delicious and waited for Shi Yue to prove her wrong, but she didn't expect that it would attract the attention of everyone nearby, including Guo Ali.
Pei Shi'an arrived first.
He stared at the contents of Wan Qiqi's pot and asked, "Is this what you also argued about with Boss Shi? What's it called? It smells rather special to me."
"Tomatoes," Wan Qiqi replied, thinking to herself: Of course it's special, and not everyone can accept this taste, but those who like it will definitely praise it.
Recalling Chen Yongnian's expression when he first ate tomatoes, Wan Qiqi glanced at Pei Shi'an again, "I'll serve you a bowl, you can taste it for me."
Wan Qiqi hesitated for a moment. After all, not everyone is willing to accept this taste. If it is selected and placed on the dining table, and Grandpa Xiao is not used to it, then it would be a loss!
Although she hesitated for a moment, she still served Pei Shi'an soup.
At this moment, the eyes of the other two restaurants also turned to them, and the chefs preparing the dishes looked on with curiosity and longing.
New ingredients and new dishes are very tempting to them.
They longed to have this in their own hands, to use it for themselves, and to create value in their own hands.
They stared intently at the soup Wan Qiqi handed over, wishing that it was them standing in front of Wan Qiqi instead of Pei Shi'an.
Just then, another hand snatched the bowl away from Pei Shi'an before he could.
Everyone frowned.
But after seeing who it was, their brows relaxed.
"Wan Qiqi, who told you that food that's already cooked can be given to other people first? Can't you see I'm here?"
After reprimanding her, Xiao Huai handed the bowl in his hand to his elder brother behind him and reached out his hand to Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi stared blankly at her hand raised in mid-air, then looked up at Xiao Huai with suspicion, "It's not ready yet."
"You're trying to fool me by pretending it's not ready? Give me a bowl, and I'll let you taste it too." When Xiao Huai is being unreasonable, he is completely unreasonable, ignoring everything others say.
Helpless, Wan Qiqi could only serve Xiao Huaiyou a bowl, and then serve Pei Shi'an a bowl.
After finishing, she looked at the pot, which was almost half empty, and glanced at Chun Changzai and Kelaiju.
She wanted to embarrass Shi Yue and make him truly convinced, so she had to take the initiative to give it to him to try, since he was unlikely to come on his own.
If she gives the gift to Chun Changzai but not to Ke Lai Ju, it would seem like she's disrespecting Ke Lai Ju.
If you fill two bowls like this, it seems like the pot is almost empty!
Wan Qiqi: "..."
She was speechless and helpless, but she still filled two bowls and headed towards the two houses, whose stoves happened to be next to each other.
"Boss Shi, could you do me a favor and test if this stuff is good enough for us lowly people to eat?" Wan Qiqi said, glancing at the Xiao brothers who were eating.
Shi Yue can criticize Wan Qiqi, but once he does, he's essentially insulting the Xiao brothers.
Shi Yue gritted his teeth, took the bowl, and replied with great dissatisfaction, "Fine, I'll let you try it!"
Turn around and face the Guest House.
Aji was still fiddling with his cup when the waiter quickly came over, grinned at Wan Qiqi, and said, "Manager Wan, I'm sorry, our young master is always like this."
Young Master? Wan Qiqi caught the key word.
The waiter calls him Young Master Aji. Does that mean that Aji is not the manager or owner of Kelaiju, but possibly the son of the owner behind Kelaiju?
Why is he here? Did he come specifically for the Xiao family's birthday banquet?
Wan Qiqi couldn't find the answer yet, but she smiled and handed over the bowl, "You guys try it too, if it works..."
“Okay.” Aji suddenly spoke up, turning his head to stare at Wan Qiqi. “What you made is good. The aroma is enough to prove that this dish tastes very good.”
Wan Qiqi listened, somewhat bewildered.
The waiter immediately explained, "Manager Wan, it's like this: our young master can judge the quality of food just by smelling it. Our wines are all judged by him, and we've also judged the dishes from many other shops, and they've all been very accurate."
Wan Qiqi: "..."
Is this... a gift from heaven to this guy named Aji?
This is the first time I've ever heard of someone being able to judge the taste of a dish by its smell.
At this moment, Xiao Han, who had just tasted the food, also spoke up. "The product is indeed quite good; it can be included in the birthday banquet."
Upon hearing this, Wan Qiqi turned around and saw Xiao Huai talking to Feng Qing, putting the remaining tomato and beef brisket from the pot into a bowl, and licking his lips.
Wan Qiqi: "..."
Thank you so much!
Is the pot not fixed in place, so you can take it with you?
Xiao Huai did think that way. He was still staring at the fixed pot, thinking that next time he should replace it with one that could be moved so that he could take the meat and soup with him to make the old man happy.
This time... I'll let it go!
Xiao Huai hadn't eaten it himself and didn't want to give it to someone else.
He noticed Wan Qiqi staring at him and immediately said, "From now on, whenever I go to a restaurant, you have to cook for me!"
Wan Qiqi: "..."
She couldn't understand why she, with her mediocre cooking skills, was so popular here.
