“You are welcome . Just pass me the dishes . ” Fang Heng pointed at Shen Min’s tray with a smile .

“Shen Min, serve the dishes now . ” Yuan Zhou turned his head and said to Shen Min .

“Ok, boss . ” Shen Min nodded her head tamely .

“Ta Ta Ta”, Shen Min walked to the tables with light steps and started to place the new dish, Oil Fried Chili, on each table in turns .

“This shape is fairly unconventional . ” Fang Heng rotated the plate in his hand and said earnestly .

“What? Are you going to use it as a reference again when making yours?” Ling Hong turned his head and said ironically to Fang Heng .

“No, it won’t happen . I’m just learning . ” Fang Heng didn’t feel embarrassed at all, but instead said respectfully .

“You’d better concentrate on your wine diligently, especially when Boss Yuan hasn’t started serving any hard liquor . ” Ling Hong’s words didn’t sound good, but were actually reasonable .

Fang Heng had improved the wine in his own pub since he lost his heart to the liquor here .

It was unrealistic to improve the taste of a wine in a short time . However, Fang Heng was a smart person . He learned to be as earnest as Yuan Zhou and also to replace the workers with pretty girls . Furthermore, they were not allowed to apply any scents and the wine could only be handled by one person .

According to Ling Hong, Fang Heng also studied the plate presentation from Yuan Zhou and paid more attention to cold dishes .

However, the taste was still not so good as that of Yuan Zhou’s liquor . The only benefit was that the dishes looked more pleasing . And the improvement made by Fang Heng also obtained many compliments from his regular customers .

What Ling Hong said was naturally understood by Fang Heng . His Fang Family Pub mainly sold wine and the cold dishes were just a side business . Of course, he understood that and didn’t really mind Ling Hong’s sharp tongue . After all, where there is pressure, there is an improvement .

“Yes, of course . ” Fang Heng answered smilingly .

“Um . Good that you know it . ” Ling Hong postured while saying that .

“Why are you so shameless?” Wu Hai took a look of contempt at Ling Hong .

“An artist like you definitely doesn’t know how a company business runs . ” Ling Hong said back directly .

“I don’t need to know that . ” Wu Hai said lightly .

While the several people were talking heatedly, Jiang Changxi nevertheless started to eat the new dish together with Su Mu at the other side . Of course, the Drunkard’s Peanut could never be abandoned .

“It’s really like the lotus flower upon looking closely . ” Jiang Changxi took out her phone and straightforwardly took a picture of the new dish .

“It’s indeed like that . This is the lotus leaf and the red chili is the lotus petals . ” Su Mu reached out his white and slender fingers and pointed at the dish while saying that .

“That’s right . Now, this sister is going to eat it . ” Jiang Changxi picked up the chopsticks and started to eat .

“It’s very spicy . Be careful . ” Su Mu said with a caring tone .

“Never mind . ” Jiang Changxi was fully confident .

“Ka Ca Ka Ca” . Once the Oil Fried Chilli entered her mouth, the flour that wrapped the chili instantly became soft, which revealed the brown and crisp chili inside . Jiang Changxi directly bit it without hesitation .

Following the light sound of “Ka Ca”, the chili was bitten into two parts . The fragrance of the crushed peanuts, wild pepper and the fried oil rushed straight into her mouth first followed by the strong and pungent spiciness .

“Hiss . How spicy this is!” Jiang Changxi said gently .

However, her mouth didn’t stop . She was still eating ceaselessly .

“The more I chew, the more fragrant it becomes . ” Jiang Chang chewed up every chili and ate it up carefully .

“How is it? Is it spicy?” Su Mu wasn’t actually in a hurry . He just asked Jiang Changxi while looking at her .

“Pretty good . Although it tastes spicy, it’s actually not only spicy but also fragrant . While the wild pepper stimulates the tongue, it also numbs it, which makes the feeling less noticeable . Most importantly, it’s so fragrant . ” Jiang Changxi couldn’t wait to pick another one and throw it into her mouth after she said that .

“You are so happy even while eating spicy dishes? Be careful not to get pimples . ” Su Mu dealt her a blow .

“Then you don’t eat it anymore . Look at your smooth face . You still have to make a living with your beautiful face . ” Jiang Changxi said wittily instantly .

“No . I can take spicy foods very much . Even if there is a pimple, it won’t affect my beauty, let alone that I still have my talents . ” Su Mu raised his eyebrows and then said deservedly .

Only when he found almost everybody had eaten the Oil Fried Chilli did Yuan Zhou say something .

“Whoever wants to drink hard liquor can drink some now . ” Yuan Zhou signaled to the customers the liquor on the table .

“Oh? Does it have this function?” Ling Hong got a shine in his eyes and savored it first .

“Hiss . ” In fear of the taste not being strong enough, he drank half a cup of the liquor extravagantly with one single gulp .

Instantly, his face went red and he knitted his brows .

“Don’t open your mouth . Swallow it up . ” Yuan Zhou immediately uttered .

“Gu Dong”, Ling Hong followed his instructions and really swallowed that up like that .

Quite a while later, Ling Hong breathed out .

“Hooo . This is so cool! The spiciness reaches my throat, then lungs and last, my heart . ” Ling Hong said that and afterwards looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise .

“Spiciness?” Su Mu looked at the liquor as clear and transparent as the pear juice and felt a little puzzled on thinking of its sweet taste .

“You’ll know the taste by trying . ” Ling Hong took a deep breath two times continuously and then said to Su Mu .

“Interesting . Does it suddenly become a hard liquor?” Fang Heng carried up the wine cup with great interest .

“Anyone who can drink hard liquor can have a try . ” There wasn’t any specific expression on Yuan Zhou’s face, even if he was so proud that he was wagging his tail like Broth in his heart .

“I’m going to have a try now . ” Fang Heng prepared to try the liquor .

“Eat some Oil Fried Chilli before drinking . ” Yuan Zhou said quite considerately .

“How much should I eat?” Fang Heng asked curiously .

It was known that the Drunkard’s Peanut provided in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant also had the spicy and fragrant taste . When it went with the liquor, however, it didn’t have that effect . Therefore, Fang heng asked curiously .

“At least three pieces . ” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively .

The event here even attracted Shen Min who was doing her homework earnestly over there .

“Then let me eat three first and then increase the number gradually . ” Fang Heng felt quite lucky that he was alone this time and didn’t need to share it with others .

“Ka Cha Ka Cha”, three Oil Fried Chilies were swallowed up by Fang Heng in several gulps .

Although there was the spiciness of the chili left in the mouth, the fragrance also lingered around . Fang Heng drank a small gulp of the liquor cautiously .

The originally soft and smooth liquor seemed to have undergone some unnoticeable changes instantly upon entering his mouth .

Immediately, a blast of spiciness rushed straight into his nose . Luckily, it was within the tolerance of an old drunkard like Fang Heng . However, he still couldn’t help but intend to open his mouth to let go of the spicy flavor .

“Shut your mouth . Don’t open it . ” Yuan Zhou’s voice sounded suddenly .

Fang Heng shut his mouth subconsciously and straightforwardly gulped down the liquor .

He acted as if he had swallowed up a gulp of steaming-hot broth with an overwhelming spiciness that burned straight into his heart . Just when Fang Heng thought that he could no longer endure that, the spiciness suddenly became lighter and instantly, the mellowness and sweetness of the liquor burst out .

It was like a good rain after a long drought in the dry desert, which made all pores on the body open .

“Awesome!” Fang Heng shouted .

“The liquor is so impressive . It’s like a kind of very strong hard liquor in the martial art fictions at the start but, meanwhile, still tastes mild and smooth like Boss Yuan’s bamboo liquor in the end . Awesome! Impressive!” Despite his usually gentle temperament, Fang Heng suddenly became bold and unconstrained .

“Please take your time and enjoy . ” Yuan Zhou carried a slight smile at the corner of his mouth .

Other drinkers that listened to them at the side couldn’t hold back, either . They started to eat the Oil Fried Chili along with a gulp of liquor occasionally one after another .

Then, the fragrance of the liquor dispersed and the atmosphere became higher . A nice dish that goes with wine is also extremely important to a liquor .
