Lei Ti said that with certainty, but Jiang Yang still didn't believe him.
Jiang Yang had explained before that green vegetables weren't like other vegetables. They grew naturally and didn't grow without insects.
But out of politeness and Lei Ti's identity, Jiang Yang still nodded.
"Maybe you're right. Thank you, Mr. Lei, for your tasting today. Do you have any comments?" Jiang Yang asked confidently.
After all, in his opinion, this little insect was harmless and wouldn't spoil the taste of his dishes or his craftsmanship. That was why he asked that.
"Head Chef Jiang will know when the time comes," Lei Ti smiled politely and then said.
He meant that once his comments were posted on the column, Jiang Yang would naturally know what to say.
"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lei." Jiang Yang nodded and didn't continue asking.
"I'm leaving now. Thank you, Head Chef Jiang." After saying that, Lei Ti left with the takeaway box.
"Take care, Mr. Lei. Come again next time." The lobby manager dutifully sent him out of the door and then turned back.
"Head Chef Jiang, how are we going to deal with the vegetable insect today?" The lobby manager pointed at the untouched grilled eggplant on the table worriedly.
"Don't worry. Didn't you see he packed it up and took it back?" Jiang Yang said confidently.
"But he didn't even eat that dish," the lobby manager said helplessly.
"What?" Jiang Yang knitted his brows.
"Head Chef Jiang came late. Didn't you see that Lei Ti didn't even touch the dishes on the table, including the ones that were served later?" the lobby manager said seriously.
"Didn't touch it? Is he going to pack it back? "Jiang Yang guessed.
"I don't know. But what about the vegetable insect?" The lobby manager was more worried about that.
"Don't worry. Like I said, people can only be perfect. After all, we have the taste and craftsmanship. It's not a big deal," Jiang Yang said.
"I hope this Lei Food Review is easy to talk to and he can seriously taste those dishes that he hasn't tasted before." The lobby manager muttered to himself.
"As long as he eats it, he won't say it's not good." Jiang Yang was quite confident in his craftsmanship.
"That's good." The lobby manager nodded.
"Clear the eggplant. Those who wash the vegetables will be fined 200 RMB this month and those who cut the vegetables will be fined 200 RMB," Jiang Yang looked at the conspicuous eggplant on the table and then said to the sous-chef who had just arrived.
"Alright." The sous-chef nodded.
However, the confident Jiang Yang did not know that as soon as he left the shop, Lei Ti did not take a taxi. Instead, he bought a bowl of instant noodles from a small shop on the street. Then, he carried the takeaway box and walked towards the subway not far away.
When he arrived at the subway entrance, Lei Ti didn't go in. He walked around the subway entrance and found the performers at the west entrance. They were an old couple who played the suona. Lei Ti put down his food and added that he hadn't touched his chopsticks. After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Thank you, sir, thank you." The woman who was in charge of receiving the money and saying auspicious words thanked them profusely. After all, she could tell that the dishes were not cheap just by looking at the takeaway box.
"You're welcome. The suona is very nice." Lei Ti paused for a moment before leaving.
From afar, they could still hear the man blowing the suona even louder. Although it was an unknown tune, it made them feel happy.
"It seems that I can only eat instant noodles tonight." Lei Ti still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the vegetable worm. Therefore, he chose the simple instant noodles.
With a sound of "Dadada Ta", he walked to the roadside quickly and hailed a taxi to go back to the hotel.
"Di". The first thing Lei Ti did after entering the room was to boil the water and prepare the instant noodles.
"Hua La Hua La". The plastic outer layer of the instant noodles was torn off and then the seasonings were unpacked one by one. The fragrance of the instant noodles rushed into Lei Ti's nose.
"It smells good." Lei Ti first muttered and then started to sigh.
"I, a food critic, am eating instant noodles here. If that old man Lee Yanyi knows that, he will probably beat me to death." Lei Ti said helplessly while waiting for the water to boil.
Lee Yanyi was very against such convenient fast food. He believed that it was tasteless and could easily lead to laziness.
Laziness was the biggest enemy of delicacies. Honestly speaking, did the person who always said that he would gain weight just by drinking water forget that he ate chicken wings for supper?
"Gu Dong Gu Dong." It was the sound of the water boiling. Lei Ti poured away the pot of water and boiled another one, preparing to use the next pot of water to make instant noodles.
"Let's make use of this time to write the food review." Lei Ti got to work immediately. He stood up and sat in front of the office desk.
Lei Ti's computer was turned on. Even if he was alone in his room, he was used to having two room cards. One was plugged in for electricity to ensure that the computer was always turned on.
It was Lei Ti's old habit to keep the other card on his body to open the door. Naturally, there was no exception this time.
"Pi Li Pa La", Lei Ti opened the Microsoft Word and started to type.
At the beginning of the food review, Lei Ti went straight to the main topic. He wrote about the styles of several dishes and the layout of the restaurant.
Strangely, however, Lei Ti hid the name of the restaurant and didn't write it out directly. Neither did the name of the head chef.
The tapping sound of the keyboard lingered on incessantly, even covering the sound of the boiling water.
At that time, Lei Ti didn't feel hungry anymore. Instead, he was full of vigor. Wen Si wrote a long paragraph of comments like a fountain.
Judging from the speed of typing on the keyboard, he would definitely have a bright future as a web novelist.
"It's already more than 3,000 words. It's time to end it." Lei Ti checked the length and then decided.
"Now that I've finished, let's end it with the matter of Boss Yuan and the chef's attitude." Lei Ti immediately thought of a matter about Yuan Zhou and then continued to write.
It was actually quite simple. Once, in order to write a food review for Yuan Zhou, Lei Wen also wanted to have a look at Yuan Zhou's restaurant. After all, Yuan Zhou had conquered Lee Yanyi's restaurant. Therefore, he stayed there for the whole afternoon after having lunch.
Just like that, Lei Ti no longer felt strange about Yuan Zhou's ability to cook such a delicious dish.
Because it was hard to imagine that Yuan Zhou had only been washing vegetables for the entire afternoon. However, he had been washing vegetables for the entire afternoon.
Besides, in the eyes of a harsh food critic like Lei Ti, Yuan Zhou washed the vegetables not only skillfully but also smoothly and gracefully as if he were doing a work of art that required meticulous craftsmanship.
What Yuan Zhou washed that afternoon was chicken cabbage, a kind of green leafy vegetable with tender white rhizome.
"Boss Yuan, you've been washing vegetables for the whole afternoon. What's the point of practicing?" Lei Ti felt that Yuan Zhou didn't wash the vegetables, but he was tired of watching it.
The chicken cabbage was very fresh and tender, but it had a lot of leaves. As it grew in the mud, it was easy to get mud between the rhizome and leaves. Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou washed them very quickly and picked them out cleanly.
Anyone would feel bored and tired of repeating an action. However, Yuan Zhou only had one expression from the beginning to the end, that was, he was very serious, as if he wanted to wash every germ clean.
That reminded Lei Ti of how meticulous Yuan Zhou was when he cooked. Even the plate had to be placed in the center.
