Chapter 306: Taste and Memory

Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

"I can show my dormitory to you next time . Let’s get something to eat first . " Eventually, Yuan Zhou didn’t take her to the male dormitory building .

"No need . We can eat on the way back or it’s also a good choice for you to specially cook a meal for me . " Jiang Changxi answered mischievously with a tone full of teasing .

"There’ll be BBQ served tonight . You can come . " Yuan Zhou said primly just when Jiang Changxi thought that he wouldn’t answer her .

"Gee? A new service?" Jiang Changxi became surprised .

"Humm . Let’s go to eat something . " After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and took her toward the main avenue .

"Where are you going to eat, the dumplings of that Granny Zhang or the cold rice jelly over there? If not that the BBQ will be served tonight, I really want to try the taste of the Little Yang Grilled Squid . "

Jiang Changxi brought out a long series of foods continuously . Most importantly, all these foods were introduced by Yuan Zhou just now .

It seemed that although Jiang Changxi just answered him with sort of simple words of "ok" or "humm", she had been actually listening to him carefully, rather than doing that perfunctorily .

"Where do you want to go?" Yuan Zhou was a little touched in the heart and hence answered gently once in a blue moon .

"Why don’t you come to my home and cook for me? Come and try the difference between your kitchen and mine . " Jiang Changxi rolled her eyes and teased him again frankly .

"Sometimes, you look more like an elegant woman when you don’t talk . " Yuan Zhou couldn’t help saying that .

"Well, sorry, I’m much too good . Don’t you also feel it’s not good of me to be so beautiful, right?" Jiang Changxi lifted up a strand of hair with a narcissistic manner .

"Let’s go to eat the wonton . It’s over there . " Considering the considerate deeds of Jiang Changxi, Yuan Zhou said nothing about his opinions of pretty girls, thus he had to change the subject .

"Sure . Compass Boss Yuan, are you treating?" Jiang Changxi revealed a surprised expression .

"Yes, I’m not a stingy person . " Yuan Zhou emphasized once more .

"I didn’t say you were stingy, Compass Boss Yuan . " Jiang Changxi covered her mouth and snickered .

"Humm, let’s go . " With a nod, Yuan Zhou indicated that he believed in her . Then, he brought her to the stall to eat wonton .

"Is this the small wonton that you mentioned just now? It seemed that the owners changed . " Looking at the two men who were apparently not the couple, Jiang Changxi asked in puzzlement .

"I don’t think so . That couples had sons . " Yuan Zhou looked at them carefully and then said affirmatively .

"Really? Boss Yuan even knows about that?" Even if Jiang Changxi sat in the dusty store, she likewise appeared glamorous . This thing called aura was really strange .

"I guess so . " Yuan Zhou answered honestly .

Jiang Changxi shrugged, not knowing if she believed or not . But Yuan Zhou didn’t really care about that . Instead, he turned the head and directly started to order the dish .

The preparation method of the small wonton was very easy . Flatten a thin dough skin about a young girl’s palm size, scoop up a little pure meat stuffing with the bamboo chips, pinch the dough skin with the palm tight after wrapping the meat stuffing inside and then a small wonton was good .

With such a preparation method, a proficient person could make about half a bowl’s amount within one minute .

"Puff puff"

After throwing them into the boiling water for an instant, the dough skin of the wonton immediately became transparent, vaguely revealing the pink meat stuffing inside .

Then, pour some seasoned hot powder, chopped green onions and a little salt into the water . The most important ingredients were naturally the dried little shrimps and seaweed powder in the end of the cooking .

With the little shrimps and seaweed, even the chicken powder or MSG wasn’t needed at all .

The soup of the little wonton was merely the broth scooped up along with the wonton .

Once the steaming hot broth and the small wonton were poured into the bowl, they instantly soaked into the dried flavorings .

In an instant, the delicate flavor blended with some pungency of the seasoned hot powder evoked people’s appetite .

"Yum . It really looks nice . Let me savor the taste first . " Having showed no dislike to the bowls and plates, Jiang Changxi took the chopsticks and said excitedly .

"Um . This wonton is suitable to be eaten hot . " Yuan Zhou felt both slightly nostalgic and a little disappointed .

With his sensitive taste sense, he naturally found out the taste had slightly changed and was no long like before .

Since the owners changed, the taste changed, too . Even if the previous owner’s sons were running the stall now, the taste still changed . It was so much for the saying of "a particular taste belonging to a particular person . "

"Awoo, awoo . " Jiang Changxi was eating quite happily . Having eaten a lesser half of the wonton, she raised the head and then found Yuan Zhou wasn’t eating, thus she asked .

"Didn’t you tell me it’s good to eat it hot?"

"Um, I’m going to eat now . " After a nod, Yuan Zhou picked up the plastic spoon and started to eat .

As the dough skin of the wonton was fairly thin, it slightly melted in the hot water after a while . When Yuan Zhou ate it, the dough skin had slightly melted and thus the taste was a little different .

But still, Yuan Zhou was eating with appetite . Back to this place, he was actually eating the memory rather than the taste itself . Therefore, he basically finished the wonton at the same time with Jiang Changxi .

"I’m stuffed . Yeah, it’s tasty . " Jiang Changxi answered smilingly . In front of her were two empty bowls .

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou checked the phone for the time . It was 7:30 in the evening .

"It’s the time to leave . Do you have anything else to do?" Yuan Zhou had originally intended to leave, but he suddenly remembered that Jiang Changxi came to fetch something . Therefore, he was a little embarrassed .

"Never mind . My problem has been solved as I have asked others to get it," Jiang Changxi said with a comforting manner .

"Um . Then come to my restaurant to eat the BBQ . " Yuan Zhou invited her again .

"Don’t worry . I definitely won’t miss the new service of Boss Yuan, not to mention you invited me personally . " Jiang Changxi nodded the head and agreed .

"Good . Let’s go . " While they were talking, Master Bai’s car had approached them . Yuan Zhou helped Jiang Changxi open the car door .

"Thank you . " Jiang Changxi sat in the passenger seat while Yuan Zhou sat in the back seat alone .

After they got on the car, Yuan Zhou recovered his normal wordless state and Jiang Changxi just closed her eyes and rested there while leaning against the seat .

In the car, the driver Master Bai was playing his favorite old songs . Well, the old rock songs .

The nameless singer was singing some lyrics unknown to Yuan Zhou with his cracking voice .

While the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful at Yuan Zhou’s side, it was totally different at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

Starting from the moment the customer saw the A4 paper, they didn’t feel good .

"What’s the matter? Why are they in such a chaos?" It was a man who was dressed in business suit and wearing a tie, on which there was a diamond tie clip .

"Manager Shi, let me go over to see what happened . " Beside him was a slender woman who was dressed in a business dress . When she heard that, she revealed an inquiring expression on her delicate face .

"No need . Let me go to check it myself . What’s wrong with Boss Yuan?" The man called Manager Shi frowned and said that while walking forward .

"He might not have noticed the situation here . " The woman guessed .

"You are new and might not know about my temperament . I don’t like others talking much beside me . " Manager Shi glanced at the pretty woman beside him and said indifferently .

"Sorry, I get it now . " The woman immediately restrained herself and stood back to the rear left of Manager Shi .

Then, manager Shi nodded the head contentedly . As they were getting closer, they heard the discussion at the entrance of Boss Yuan’s restaurant .

"On seeing the white color, I had a premonition . As I got close, I found it’s really a leave request . Boss Yuan, you are way too deceitful . " It was Wu Hai who was about to cry into the air .

"There weren’t any clues at all . It’s surprisingly the unexpected leave request again . Come on . I came here for the first time in the past three weeks . " Another customer was just speechless .

"I strongly request that Boss Yuan not rest . " Yuan Zhou would definitely say it’s not humane if he heard this proposal .

Even other customers at the side couldn’t tolerate him .

"You can’t be too mean . He’s not likely to work all day long . I think he can work twelve hours every day and the remaining twelve hours are for rest . " This customer said that with a generous tone .

Then, the customers started a heated discussion . After Manager Shi knew the reason for leave, he really wanted to say, "I don’t know if it’s good for me to swear . "
