"It's time for dinner. Please come in and have your meal," Zhou Jia stood at the door and said loudly.
"Yu Chu, come over here," Jiang Changxi called out the moment they entered.
"Alright." Yu Chu nodded. Then, he placed his luggage and briefcase on the flower rack and sat beside Jiang Changxi.
Ling Hong and Wuhai automatically moved aside. However, Wuhai sat beside Yu Chu.
His motive was self-evident. After all, the delicious Tangyuan from last time was still in Wuhai's mouth.
Now, he naturally wanted to see if there was a chance to swindle more food from Yu Chu's plate.
"One serving of Dongpo Cuttlefish, one plate of Dual-taste White Oil Tofu, Salt Baked Chicken, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetable, Dongpo Pig Knuckle, Tea Egg, and a serving of plain white rice from the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine and a cup of lemonade. That's all," Yu Chu ordered the dishes the moment he sat down.
"Alright. What do you want to eat, Sister Jiang?" Zhou Jia turned her head and asked Jiang Changxi.
"Please wait a moment," Jiang Changxi smiled politely at Zhou Jia before turning her head to look at Yu Chu.
"It's like this. You just got off the plane, so I think it's better for you to eat something light," Jiang Changxi said with a deadpan expression.
Even Jiang Changxi, who usually didn't care about money, suspected that Yu Chu was doing this on purpose when she heard his order.
"Um. Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetable is light and goes well with rice," Yu Chu nodded and said.
"No, I mean that we should just order some vegetarian dishes," Jiang Changxi said while gnashing her teeth.
"Then I'll add a Jinling Grass. I heard that it's very light," Yu Chu thought for a second and ordered another dish.
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Are you trying to beat up a tycoon?" Jiang Changxi said angrily.
"It's rare for Director Jiang to treat me to a meal. I naturally have to cherish it," Yu Chu said in a serious manner.
"Forget it. I'm not going to talk about this anymore," Jiang Changxi rolled her eyes. She didn't really care about it, so there was no need to say anything else.
"Director Jiang, these are what I want to eat. If you want to eat, you can order something else," Yu Chu reminded when he saw that Jiang Changxi hadn't ordered yet.
Then, Jiang Changxi shot him a glance. Yu Chu immediately explained, "I didn't eat anything because I was rushing to catch a flight. I only had breakfast today."
"If you can't finish it, you'll be blacklisted. You should be clear about that." Jiang Changxi reminded him smilingly.
"Don't. I can't. I can's You."
"Dongs, I. Then. I, I Su. Then., Jiang." Jia said. "Jiang."
"Alright. Please wait a moment. The dishes will be served shortly," Zhou Jia calculated the price carefully and then said.
Yu Chu was the first to order. After all, he had brought his luggage with him. The other customers weren't in a hurry. After all, they were already seated in the restaurant.
Therefore, the first dish that was served was Yu Chu's. It was the Dual-taste White Oil Tofu that he had been looking forward to.
"Here's your Dual-taste White Oil Tofu. Please enjoy." Zhou Jia gently put down the plate.
"Thank you," Yu Chu said. He looked at the dishes and cutlery in front of him.
"Give me a spoon," Yu Chu said to Zhou Jia, who hadn't walked too far away, "Give me a spoon to eat tofu."
"Our tofu doesn't need a spoon. You will understand after eating it," Zhou Jia turned her head and said mysteriously.
Before Yu Chu could reply, Wuhai spoke.
"Don't worry. Let me show you. It's very easy to eat tofu with chopsticks," Wuhai said and was about to reach his chopsticks over.
"There's no need." Yu Chu quickly and neatly protected his plate.
"Tsk, tsk. Yu Chu, you've learned bad things. I'm doing this out of kindness," Wuhai said with a pained expression.
"You should wait for your own dish to arrive." Yu Chu was unmoved. He protected his plate with one hand and picked up the chopsticks with the other.
"Since you have eaten Boss Yuan's dishes once, you won't be able to fool others anymore," Ling Hong said in a dignified manner.
"That's not necessarily true," Wuhai said with a look of "Man should have dreams."
"Yeah. You might encounter someone even more shameless than you and try to snatch your food," Ling Hong said.
"No one's here," Wu Hai said confidently.
"You're right. No one is more shameless than you." Ling Hong nodded his head in agreement.
"That's how you are. I already said that I don't have such a thing as a shameless person, yet you still insist on blaming it on me," Wuhai said with an unreasonable expression.
This time, Ling Hong was completely speechless. He turned his head away and stopped talking.
As the name suggested, White Oil Tofu was actually tofu fried in lard. It had two flavors because the tofu could be cooked in two ways, one sweet and one savory.
The tofu in front of him was placed in a crystal-like plate. The tofu was neatly arranged, and in the middle, there was a clear line that separated the tofu into two different flavors.
This should be the dividing line between the two flavors.
"Interesting." Yu Chu didn't know what flavor was on the other side. He casually picked up the tofu on the right side.
"Eh? It's cold? "Yu Chu was surprised the moment the tofu entered his mouth.
"Hmm. How strange. It's sweet tofu." Yu Chu said. Then, he shut his mouth. The tofu had melted in his mouth.
That's right. The tofu on the right side was cold. The moment it entered his mouth, it was immediately enveloped by warmth and melted like snow.
A sweet taste slowly spread in his mouth. The tofu's smoothness was also revealed. The starch on the outside made the tofu even more tender and smooth. Gulp.
Gulp. Yu Chu directly swallowed the bean curd, and a faint bean fragrance slid down his throat.
"Interesting." Yu Chu impatiently took another bite of the tofu on the right side.
Because the sweet tofu was cold, it wasn't greasy at all. Instead, it was very refreshing. Moreover, due to the temperature, the tofu had a little toughness amidst the smoothness, making the taste more sweet.
After eating half of the sweet tofu, Yu Chu suppressed his desire to continue. He extended his chopsticks to the savory tofu on the left side.
The sweet tofu was very simple. It was just a white and tender tofu wrapped in a layer of translucent sauce. The crystal-like plate was decorated with some green leaves. It was simple and refreshing.
The savory tofu was brighter in color. Green peas and red cubes were added to the tofu, making it look beautiful and delicious.
"Looks like everyone likes to add peas when making tofu." Yu Chu recalled the plate of frozen peas he had eaten in Yuzhang River.
Because it had only been two days, he still had a deep impression of it. Yu Chu subconsciously frowned.
However, Yu Chu wasn't like others. He ate whatever he didn't like first. The first thing he picked up was the pea.
"It looks much better," Yu Chu said as he looked at the pea.
Humans were visual creatures. If something looked good, they would subconsciously feel that the taste wasn't bad.
For example, Yu Chu felt that this was the case.
"Awoo." Yu Chu swallowed the pea and started chewing.
