Ignoring everything else and seeing such familiar food, Qiao Hongtao directly reached out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of Mantou. He didn't dip the first piece in the sauce. Only by eating it like that could he taste the original taste of the Mantou.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when the chopsticks touched the Mantou, there was a crisp sound, as if the crispness of the Mantou was naturally produced.
Qiao Hongtao raised his eyebrows and had a guess in his heart. His hands didn't slow down and directly picked it up and put it to his mouth.
"Ka Cha"
With a crisp sound, the Mantou was broken. Logically speaking, after being fried in hot oil, no matter how good the craftsmanship was, the Mantou would feel a little greasy. Therefore, it was mixed with spicy sauce. At least, Qiao Hongtao had eaten so many Mantou, and they were all like this. Those with good craftsmanship didn't feel greasy. They might only feel greasy after eating more than half of it.
However, the Mantou in his mouth at this moment was completely different. It didn't feel greasy at all. It was fragrant and crispy, with only the feeling of being processed in oil and a little fragrance of oil remaining. It was dry, crispy, fragrant, and had no other feeling.
"So delicious?"
Qiao Hongtao didn't believe it. He picked up another piece and directly stuffed it into his mouth without dipping it in sauce. The same crispy and fragrant taste didn't change at all. It was as delicious as the first piece.
Wu Yungui and Jiang Changxi, who were at the side, took the opportunity to feast their eyes on Qiao Hongtao's face. Qiao Hongtao's face was full of doubt, and he seemed to be completely intoxicated. He ate piece after piece of mantou, even forgetting about the sauce.
"It seems that another person has been conquered by Boss Yuan's superb craftsmanship." Wu Yungui revealed an expression as if he had expected it.
Although he had already expected such a situation, Qiao Hongtao's change of expression just now was still very interesting. It was worth the ticket price.
As for Jiang Changxi, she also narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and sat lazily in her seat. She didn't sit in a very proper manner of a lady nowadays. Instead, she had a languid and elegant aura. She originally wanted to take a picture of this scene for fun, but then she put away her phone. She didn't like taking pictures.
After Wu Yungui had enough of admiring Qiao Hongtao's change of expression, he had his eyes on Qiao Hongtao's steamed buns. He secretly reached out his chopsticks and put a piece into his mouth. With one bite, it was crispy and delicious.
When Qiao Hongtao came back to his senses, he found that the plate was empty. There was not even a trace of oil left on the plate. It was as if nothing had ever been on the plate. The only thing left was the half-eaten sauce.
"Did I eat some sauce just now?" Qiao Hongtao was still in a daze from the crispy and delicious taste just now.
As for whether he ate the sauce or not, he was very confused. He seemed to remember that he didn't eat it because his tongue couldn't remember the taste of the sauce. But if he didn't eat it, why was it missing?
She looked suspiciously at Wu Yungui, who was sitting upright and still. She didn't notice anything unusual, so she reached out her chopsticks to try dipping them in the sauce.
On the other hand, Wu Yungui felt that it was a pity. If Qiao Hongtao had woken up a little later, he would have been able to finish the delicious sauce alone. What a pity.
Someone once joked that if you wanted to test your feelings, whether it was friendship or love, you could come to The Kitchen God. If he could share the dishes cooked by Boss Yuan with you, then it would definitely be a true feeling!
Qiao Hongtao put the chopsticks that were dipped in the sauce into his mouth. First, the sour and spicy taste exploded on the tip of his tongue. It wasn't a strong taste, but it was so refreshing. It wasn't salty nor bland, and the taste was just right. If it was dipped in the Mantou, the taste should complement each other. But even eating the sauce alone would have a different flavor.
It was such a delicious taste that made Qiao Hongtao even more confused. He was sure that he hadn't eaten the sauce before, but the sauce was missing. He looked at Wu Yungui suspiciously. Without any evidence, he didn't say anything.
"I'll order another plate of Mantou to go with the sauce. It will definitely have a different taste." After Qiao Hongtao made up his mind, he waved his hand and intended to call Su Ruoyan over to order.
"You want to order another fried Mantou, right?" Wu Yungui decided to persist in his image as a good Chinese partner until the end for the sake of the fried Mantou and the spicy sauce.
"The taste is quite good, and it's indeed the authentic taste of Singapore. Director Jiang is completely right." Qiao Hongtao was also a smart person.
With that, he managed to smooth out the awkward situation from before.
"Everything you said is right, but the restaurant has a rule that each person can only order one dish for every meal. The rules are posted there." Wu Yungui kindly pointed to the wall over there and said.
Qiao Hongtao tilted his head slightly and saw the rules one by one. His eyes were very good. Even though he was a distance away, he could still see the words clearly.
"I can't order anymore?" Qiao Hongtao was a little disappointed. He still wanted to try the delicious taste of the Mantou dipped in the spicy sauce.
"I can order one for you. How about half each?" Wu Yungui finally revealed his true intentions.
If it weren't for the fact that he had ordered a lot of dishes and couldn't guarantee that he could finish a serving of Mantou and was afraid of being blacklisted, Wu Yungui would have already ordered it himself.
As for Jiang Changxi, her appetite was also there. There was no need to count on her to help. Qiao Hongtao was cautious and only ordered three dishes, so he still had some energy left. That was why he was targeted by Wu Yungui.
When he heard Wu Yungui's suggestion, Qiao Hongtao's first reaction wasn't happiness. Instead, he thought, "My spicy sauce was eaten by this guy. Maybe he also ate a lot of the Mantou. I was wondering why there were so few dishes."
Although he had already noticed it, Qiao Hongtao didn't show it on the surface for the sake of eating the fried Mantou again. He directly said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu."
Then, Wu Yungui happily asked Su Ruoyan to add a serving of fried Mantou.
"Boss Wu, what happened to your son?" Jiang Changxi asked out of concern for her business partner.
"That bastard. I'll teach him a lesson when we get home." Wu Yungui laughed.
Jiang Changxi didn't ask much. After all, although it wasn't a secret, it wasn't something that could be discussed in public.
His eldest son wasn't his biological son, and Wu Yungui still raised him as his biological son. Most people couldn't accept this.
Moreover, because of some unforeseen events, many people in the real estate circle knew about it. Wu Yungui's mentality was really good. He could even come to the restaurant and act like an older sister with Jiang Changxi.
To add on, it wasn't Wu Yungui's wife who cheated on him. The matter was a little complicated, and they would talk about it in detail when they had time.
After chatting for a while, the dishes were served one after another. There was sweet and sweet lychee sweet and sour pork, bright red fish head with diced hot red peppers, and Qiao Hongtao's pineapple caramel stewed egg.
As soon as the stewed egg was served, a sweet and slightly charred aroma swept his nose. Qiao Hongtao knew that this was the aroma of caramel after it was baked at a high temperature. Slowly, the aroma changed from strong and sweet to a slightly sour and sweet taste. It was obviously covered by the fragrant sweetness. If one didn't smell it carefully, they might not notice that this was the aroma of pineapple.
In fact, pineapple was the pineapple honey that people often talked about. Although it looked similar to pineapple, the taste was actually quite different.
Pineapple had a higher sweetness content, but the moisture content was relatively low. With the addition of caramel, it was even sweeter.
The stewed egg was placed in a small white cup. A layer of brown caramel had condensed on the surface, covering the color underneath.
Using a spoon to scoop down the surface, the thin layer of caramel cracked open, revealing the soft and tender inside.
The glistening yellow color was a bit darker than the ordinary stewed egg. Steam was rising from it, and the sweet and fresh taste was even stronger.
Qiao Hongtao scooped up a spoonful of stewed egg. There were bits of broken caramel on top. Once he put it into his mouth, his eyes immediately widened.
