Just when the atmosphere became tense, the dishes were finally served. You Xue heaved a sigh of relief.
Wu Yungui looked at the dishes and introduced, "This is the All-Fish Banquet. The first dish is a cold dish with a poetic name. It's called Weaving Brocade Diligently in Winter Clothes. Let's try it."
In order to ease the atmosphere, Wu Yungui talked a little more. This time, he came to celebrate and also wanted to make his family happy. Eating delicious food made him happy.
This was the reason why Wu Yungui insisted on coming to The Kitchen God for a meal.
For this matter, Wu Yungui specially chose a table for four. It was also nice for everyone to sit together and eat.
Hearing Wu Yungui's words, the three people who had smelled a faint cold fragrance raised their heads and looked at the dishes on the table at the same time.
The cold dish was actually a cold fish skin salad. The name was nice and the dishes were of the same standard.
"Let's try it." Wu Yungui picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece for his wife first, then Jia An and Jia Kang. Everyone had a piece. There was no favoritism.
The three people looked at each other and directly picked up the chopsticks to eat.
The fish skin was crispy. As soon as it was put into the mouth, a sound of "Ka Ca" could be heard. It could be seen how crispy the fish skin was. The few people who were originally in a bad mood ate the crispy fish skin. The fresh and natural taste made them feel a lot more relaxed. It was as if the clouds were dispelled and the sun came out.
"This dish tastes really good," Mrs. Wu said.
"I didn't expect the fish skin to be so delicious." Wu Jiakang also liked the taste.
"It's sour and spicy. It's very appetizing. I think I can eat one more bowl of rice today." Wu Jiaan was a little younger and had a more active temperament.
Now that there was delicious food, he recovered some of his usual temperament.
"The next dish is even more delicious. You can wait and see," Wu Yungui interrupted.
His words aroused everyone's curiosity. In their opinion, the cold dish was already of a very good standard. What level would it be if it was more delicious?
Of course, every dish cooked by Yuan Zhou was cooked with all his might. However, everyone had their own preferences. Just like how there were 1,000 Hamlets in 1,000 readers, the same dish would have different tastes for different people.
Wu Yungui said this because the next dish was his favorite.
Before they could put down their chopsticks, the first hot dish was served. It was Yellow Celery and Yellow Croaker Shredded Fish. From the name, it was obvious that the ingredients were celery yellow and fish shredded.
The ingredients were simple, but the dishes that were served were very beautiful. Just by looking at the colors, one could tell that there were a lot of ingredients. There were yellow, red, white, and so on. However, whether it was the main ingredients or the supplementary ingredients, they were all the same length and looked very beautiful.
Hot dishes were not as subtle as cold dishes. As soon as the dishes were served, a fragrant aroma swept through the entire place, causing them to salivate involuntarily.
"It smells so good." Wu Jiakang sniffed and his eyes lit up.
"I like the taste." Wu Jiaan was much more straightforward.
"Let's try it," Wu Yungui said.
This time, Wu Yungui didn't need to help them pick up the dishes. Everyone consciously helped themselves.
When the several colors were picked up together and put into their mouths, the fresh, tender, and crisp taste burst in their mouths. Both the fresh and sweet fish meat and the crisp and tender celery yellow gave people a fresh feeling. Although the red pepper was embellished, it was the main character of the color and sweetness. It wasn't spicy at all. As a whole, it tasted bland and palatable. You Xue also felt it was delicious.
Wu Jiakang and Wu Jiaan didn't have any other thoughts in their minds at that moment. They only wanted to eat more, mainly because it was really delicious and conformed to their taste.
Although Wu Yungui didn't eat much of this dish, he couldn't help smiling when he saw Jia An and Jia Kang gulp down the dishes. "Look, Jia Kang and Jia An are still like me. They have eaten up all my favorite dishes and even have the same taste as me."
On hearing that, Jia Kang and Jia An stopped their chopsticks at the side of their mouths for an instant. But they continued eating the next second. Not knowing why, all the negative emotions in Jia Kang's heart disappeared along with Wu Yungui's words.
You Xue looked at the two brothers eating the same way and there was an enlarged version of them beside them. She revealed a relaxed smile at the corner of her mouth.
She didn't know whether it was because of the scene in front of her or because of the delicious food that she had just eaten, but You Xue felt as if a beam of sunshine had shone into the dull world, making her feel relaxed.
"You are right. Jia Kang and Jia An are like you since they were young, and they didn't inherit my good looks at all." You Xue looked at the two little brothers who were focused on eating at that moment gently and started to add insult to injury.
"Uh … actually, um, I was also a flower when I was young!" Wu Yungui quibbled.
"Dad, come on. After seeing the wedding photos of you and mom, it's simply a beauty and a beast," Wu Jiakang said.
Wu Jiaan giggled at the side and then continued to eat.
The dishes were served one after another. Because everyone's taste was very similar, especially the father and son, they fiercely snatched the dishes that suited their taste. It was a scene of no father and son at the dinner table.
Very soon, the fish head soup was served. The milky white soup and the dark-colored fish head gave off a mellow fragrance. In addition, there were some green chopped onions floating on the surface, which was very attractive.
Wu Jiakang and Wu Jiaan moved at the same time. They picked up the chopsticks surprisingly quickly and directly plucked the fish face from each side. A complete piece of fish face meat was peeled off, which was the most tender part of the whole fish.
After peeling it off, Jia Kang and Jia An put it into the bowls of the people beside them at the same time. Jia Kang gave it to Wu Yungui and Jia An gave it to Mrs. Wu, just like how they usually ate the fish head.
When they were young, it was Wu Yungui and Mrs. Wu who gave the good things to Jia Kang and Jia An. Since they grew up, this work was taken over by them.
After they finished the action subconsciously, they looked at each other for a moment and then laughed. Everyone looked relaxed and natural, which was totally different from when they entered the restaurant just now.
"Let's eat quickly. If we can't finish it, we will be blacklisted," Wu Yungui reminded them in a relaxed tone after a long time.
"Um."
"There is such a rule? Does the boss still want to do business? "
"Look, the boss's culinary skills are so good. Are you afraid of no business?"
The other three people nodded their heads one after another and continued to join in the great battle of delicacies. The competition for food was more intense this time.
When Wu Yungui and his family of four were eating, it was also Qiao Hongtao's turn to eat. Recently, he liked Chinese cuisine, especially various kinds of seafood in Chinese cuisine. He was especially interested in it. Baked crab, Fried Crab, Stewed Crab, etc. Today was no exception. He ordered various kinds of seafood according to his largest appetite.
Now, he was eating a plate of Feng Tang Fried Crab. Without using chopsticks, Qiao Hongtao directly picked up a piece of crab covered with seasonings and took a bite. The crispy seasonings on the surface, the fresh and tender crab meat underneath, and the crispy crab shell that could be chewed directly mixed with the crispy and tender taste.
"The quality is first-class and the culinary skills are even more superb. It's so delicious. The taste of this swimming crab is just like that of the season," Qiao Hongtao said.
While saying that, he swiftly swallowed the crab meat in his mouth and then reached out to take another piece and repeated the previous action. He ate happily.
