"The dishes cooked by Head Chef Yuan are indeed worthy of high expectations." Representative Li had never doubted Yuan Zhou's cooking skills.
Even though he hadn't tasted the dishes in the restaurant before, it didn't affect his judgment. Even the light Huaiyang cuisine and Cantonese cuisine were so mellow and enticing, let alone the heavier Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine.
Little Wu nodded in agreement and didn't say anything else. Instead, he confirmed the schedule for the afternoon with Representative Li in a low voice.
A sticky note was filled with the things that Representative Li had to do in the afternoon. After a quick glance, the last thing he had to do was to go back to rest until 9: 00 pm. This was a relatively relaxed time for him to do something in the morning.
"Dong Dong Dong"
Representative Li knocked on the bar counter and said after thinking for a while, "Let's follow this schedule. We have to finish today's work."
"We can definitely finish it, Representative." Little Wu nodded.
Obviously, he was used to Representative Li's hard working style and wasn't surprised at all.
After talking about business, Little Wu suddenly remembered the dishes that Representative Li had ordered. Just as he was about to ask what he had to pay attention to, he was attracted by an aroma.
If one were to say that it smelled good, it was indeed very fragrant. It was a strange fragrance that could not be put into words. However, if one were to say that it smelled bad, it was also a little stinky. In any case, Lil Wu had never smelled like this in his 30 plus years of life.
At first, he wasn't used to it, but the more he smelled it, the more fragrant it became. After sniffing hard, Little Wu couldn't help but stare at the plate in Su Ruoyan's hands.
It was golden with a hint of green, looking very comfortable. Little Wu craned his neck to get a better look. As Su Ruoyan approached, the aroma became stronger.
Although Representative Li didn't react as well as Little Wu, he wasn't far from it. He closed his eyes and smelled the familiar aroma, as if he had returned to his childhood.
To be honest, when Representative Li was young, he couldn't even eat eggs casually. At that time, chickens were precious items of the common people. Most of them were used to pay for school fees. There was even a nickname, "Chicken Butt Bank".
There were also many commoners who used eggs to exchange for oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Most of them would only be able to eat an egg on their first birthday. If there was a plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese fold root, it was definitely only available when there were guests at home.
What left the deepest impression on Li Zun was when he was young. His family needed cows to plow the fields, so he asked someone to help him cook a plate of golden scrambled eggs. Li Zun, who was only two or three years old at that time, was so happy that he went crazy. The delicious taste was left in the depths of his memory.
Now, smelling the familiar aroma, Li Representative felt as if he had returned to the blissful moment when he had his first taste of Scottish fold root scrambled eggs when he was young.
"It's this familiar taste. It's slightly bitter, like the taste of Chinese medicine, but it's just so delicious."
Representative Li quickly picked up a piece of scrambled egg and put it into his mouth. He chewed slowly. The soft and tender egg on the outside was very tender and smooth. When he bit into it, he felt as if the juice was seeping out. However, when he reached the inside, it was the finely chopped Chinese fold root. Because of the finely chopped Chinese fold root, the taste was even stronger. Together with the extremely smooth and tender egg, the strong aroma rushed straight into the depths of his mind.
Not to mention that it was quite refreshing, it was as if he was standing in a field in spring, bursting with hope. There was an indescribable sense of comfort.
Scrambled eggs with folded ear root was a special wild vegetable of Sichuan province, the folded ear root. Of course, folded ear root was just what people in Sichuan province called it. Its scientific name was Chameleon Cordata. As a Chinese herbal medicine, although the taste wasn't that strong when it was freshly cooked, ordinary people still couldn't accept it. Just like how not everyone liked durian, the folded ear root was naturally the same.
However, Representative Li felt that it was very delicious, especially when it perfectly overlapped with the mellow taste in the depths of his memory. He felt that it was especially delicious.
Moreover, this plate of Chinese fold root scrambled eggs was really good-looking. Every piece of egg was almost the same size, about the size of a thumb. They were wrapped with Chinese fold root powder, and some of them had a hint of green in them. They looked very beautiful.
Seeing that he was about to finish eating, Xiao Wu picked up his chopsticks and put them down again. He really wanted to eat, but he really didn't dare to. It would be terrible if he got bullied in the future. Even if he didn't get bullied, it would take a lot of guts to steal food from the leaders. In any case, Xiao Wu didn't have that kind of courage.
That was what he was thinking in his mind, but his hands didn't listen to him. Therefore, every time his chopsticks were about to touch the plate, he would be forced back by reason. Then, he would be bewitched by the aroma and reach out again. The cycle repeated itself, and he didn't feel tired at all.
It wasn't until there were only four or five pieces of scrambled eggs left on the plate that Representative Li recovered from his memories and saw Xiao Wu's small movements.
Looking at the five pieces of scrambled eggs left on the plate, he reached out and picked up two pieces with his chopsticks, one in front of the other, like a skewer of candied haws. Then, he looked at the remaining three pieces on the plate and said, "Xiao Wu, don't stand on ceremony. Have a taste of our Sichuan's specialty. You can't find it anywhere else. Try it."
As he said that, he quickly put the two pieces of scrambled eggs on his chopsticks into his mouth and reached out for another piece on the plate. However, this time, he only picked up one piece. "Two pieces should be enough for Xiao Wu to have a taste. If you don't like it, it won't be wasted."
Indeed, many people couldn't accept the strange taste of Chinese fold root. It was not wrong for Representative Li to think that way. He felt that he was definitely a generous leader who was willing to share food with his subordinates.
When Xiao Wu heard Representative Li's heavenly voice, he didn't care about anything else. He fixed his eyes on a piece of scrambled egg and reached out for it with his chopsticks. Then, he put it into his mouth at lightning speed and picked up the last piece. With that, he could finally eat with peace of mind.
When he bit into it, he was shocked by the tenderness of the egg. Then, he bit into the fine Chinese fold root. When he bit into it, the juice of the plant overflowed, and the strange fragrance immediately filled his mouth. At first, Xiao Wu was not used to it, but when he used his teeth again, the egg and Chinese fold root collided with each other. The crispness and tenderness of the egg complemented each other, and the fragrance of the egg mixed with the strange fragrance. As he ate, he felt a little intoxicated.
He couldn't describe the feeling, but after eating one piece, he wanted to eat a second piece. He wanted to eat a third piece, but unfortunately, there was only one piece left. After stuffing it into his mouth, he looked at the clean, snow-white plate that looked as if it had never been filled before. After confirming that there was no need to lick it, he could only stop thinking about it.
Just as Representative Li and Xiao Wu were feeling sorry that there was no more food, a fragrant and spicy taste swept through their sense of smell.
If the strange fragrance of the Chinese fold root scrambled egg was irresistible, then this fresh and spicy fragrance made people salivate.
This was definitely a physiological reaction to the impact of the spiciness. This was the You County dried pork that Xiao Wu ordered.
As the specialty bean products of You County in Xiang Province, as Hunan cuisine became more and more widely known, its popularity also gradually increased.
The bright colors of red, green, yellow, and yellow gave people a warm feeling at first glance. Perhaps it was because the You County Dried Tofu had been braised before, the fragrance after the spiciness lingered on for a long time, carrying the unique fragrance of the marinade.
