Min Dong noticed that his wife had been watching Su Ruoyan write the menu after she finished reading out the order. The moment she stopped writing, he said, "You still need to go and order for others, right? I'll go and help deliver the menu. It's not that far anyway."
He had already observed that Yuan Zhou was standing at the other side of the partition, waiting to take the first menu and go in to cook. And they were the first ones to finish writing the menu.
Wu Shou and Mao Xiong had eaten quite a lot together. Thus, it would take some time for them to finish writing the menu.
Min Dong's current situation was absolutely favorable. He could help Yuan Zhou without his wife suspecting him.
This was not the first time Su Ruoyan had heard such a request. Many customers wanted to talk to Yuan Zhou while handing the menu to him.
Therefore, Su Ruoyan only took a glance at Min Dong and nodded in agreement before handing the menu to him. Then, she turned around and went to order for others.
Cui Ping looked at Min Dong with a puzzled expression. She did not know why Min Dong was doing this. Usually, she was the one who talked about Yuan Zhou the most.
"I just feel that since I'm here, I should have a chat with Head Chef Yuan. Do you want to go?" Min Dong asked.
He knew that his wife was a shy person. It was fine for her to express her admiration in private, but it was impossible for her to say that in front of the person in question. Therefore, Min Dong did not feel any pressure when he invited her. He had already foreseen the result.
Sure enough, Cui Ping shook her head a few times. Her refusal was obvious.
Min Dong looked at Cui Ping with a smile and said, "Okay. I'll go hand in the menu myself. Wait for me."
Then, he walked toward Yuan Zhou with the menu in his hand.
The distance between them and the partition where Yuan Zhou was standing was at least one meter. Logically speaking, he wouldn't be able to hear them if he lowered his voice. However, he had sharp ears and sharp eyes, thus he could hear them very clearly.
The distance wasn't too far and it was only a matter of two steps. Therefore, Min Dong soon arrived before Yuan Zhou and handed the two menus to him. Then, he said, "Head Chef Yuan, please make the dishes a bit lighter."
In Master Chef Restaurant, regardless of whether they came together or separately, as long as the dishes were not ordered by the same person, each person would basically have their own menu. This would help Yuan Zhou distinguish who was who and cook the dishes most suitable to his own taste.
Therefore, after Yuan Zhou got the menus, he looked at Min Dong and Cui Ping and found that Min Dong had a heavy taste while Cui Ping had a light taste. Of course, it had something to do with her body.
The reason why Min Dong came here specially to inform him was mostly for the sake of his wife. Yuan Zhou felt that he was also a typical example of a good new man and thus understood Min Dong's behavior very well. Therefore, he nodded to indicate that he got it.
One had a heavy taste while the other had a light taste. Yuan Zhou had encountered this situation too many times and was sure it wouldn't be a problem.
Taking the menu, Yuan Zhou turned around and went to the kitchen, intending to cook. Min Dong, on the other hand, felt that he had made himself clear and thus let out a sigh of relief inwardly. He had read on the Internet that Boss Yuan had a special ability to judge the taste of his customers.
Just like what Yuan Zhou had seen, Min Dong was definitely a spicy person before he met Cui Ping. Even when he cooked vegetarian dishes, he would put more chili and soy sauce in them. He would eat salty dishes with a heavy taste.
However, ever since he met Cui Ping, he heard that Cui Ping ate very light food. Because of her weak stomach, she couldn't eat stimulating food. Therefore, in order to get closer to Cui Ping, Min Dong had claimed that he was an alien from Sichuan and also a person who ate light food.
Because of this, the two of them became very close and appreciated each other. Then, they slowly got together because of the deepening of their relationship.
Cui Ping still didn't know about Min Dong's taste problem. She had always thought that Min Dong was the same as her. She had to admit that Min Dong did a good job of keeping it a secret.
Min Dong went back to the table and chatted with Cui Ping. Cui Ping was so amused that she lowered her voice and laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled. As a single person, don't ask so many questions.
Yuan Zhou was also very fast. In just a few minutes, the first dish was served. It was the chicken soup that Cui Ping had ordered. It took the shortest time.
The dish looked very delicate. Except for some green pea sprouts around the soup bowl, the other ingredients were all fine and milky white, which looked extraordinarily beautiful against the clear soup.
The soup was beautiful. Just by looking at it, one could tell the taste wouldn't be bad.
"Wife, have a taste first," Min Dong said to his wife before moving his chopsticks.
Cui Ping nodded her head. She picked up the chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The ingredients were originally as fine as hair, but after it was put into her mouth, it felt tough and not as fragile as it looked. The shredded chicken and shredded tofu blended together perfectly. It had both the fragrance of the tofu and the freshness of the chicken. It was very delicious. It was both light and refreshing, very much in line with Cui Ping's taste.
"Delicious. It's light and delicious. Compared to the light dishes we usually eat, it's not only delicious, but also, I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, it suits our taste very well. Come and have a taste," Cui Ping said to Min Dong.
Min Dong agreed and also picked up the chopsticks to try the taste. It was indeed light and mellow, very much in line with Cui Ping's taste. "No wonder you're the famous Head Chef Yuan. You're really awesome."
Seeing Cui Ping eating with a smile on her face, Min Dong felt very happy. Although the taste was very bland to him, it didn't matter. As long as the taste was delicious, that was enough.
Before Cui Ping finished eating, the next dish was served. This was also because Min Dong restrained himself from eating and only Cui Ping ate. Otherwise, she would have already finished eating.
Moreover, Cui Ping was used to chewing slowly. Even if she ate faster because of the delicacy, she was still a little slower than others.
The second dish was the Clear Stir-Fried Prawns that Min Dong ordered.
He had also brought Cui Ping to eat this dish in other restaurants. Due to the bland taste, Min Dong always felt it had a slight fishy smell. However, Cui Ping liked eating prawns very much. Therefore, she would order this dish almost every time they came out for a meal.
Once the dish was served, Min Dong intended to have a taste first. He wanted to eat more than half of it and leave some for Cui Ping. Otherwise, his wife wouldn't eat it, thinking that he didn't get to eat it.
The color of the Clear Stir-Fried Prawns was much richer than the Chicken Soup Boiled Shredded Dried Shredded Meat. Red, yellow, white, and green, it looked very refreshing and nice to eat.
Picking up a prawn and putting it into his mouth, a strong fragrance exploded on the tip of his tongue. Although the prawns appeared to be very bland, after eating, the taste was very strong. Moreover, the freshness and sweetness of the prawns were perfectly set off. It didn't have any fishy smell like the ones Min Dong had eaten before.
For the first time, Min Dong felt that Jiangsu cuisine was so delicious. It was rich and fragrant. Once he started eating, he wouldn't stop. His chopsticks never stopped moving. Be it the chewy prawns, the crisp cucumber, or the carrots, all of them were exceptionally delicious.
"Ding"
When his chopsticks touched the clean plate, Min Dong found that he had already finished eating. This was the first time he had finished a dish so quickly since he started eating bland dishes.
