Chapter 694

“Dinner time has arrived . Everyone, please enter,” standing at the door, Zhou Jia spoke with a bright voice .

“Yu Chu, here,” said Jiang Changxi the moment she entered .

“Ok . ” Yu Chu nodded . Then, he placed his luggage and briefcase near the shelf before sitting down beside Jiang Changxi .

Ling Hong and Wu Hai both made way for them . However, Wu Hai still decided to take the seat beside Yu Chu .

The reason Wu Hai selected that seat was quite clear . After all, the memory of the Tangyuans he stole last time was still clear in his mind .

He was obviously looking for more chances to steal Yu Chu’s food .

“One Dongpo Garra Fish, one Dual-taste White Oil Tofu, one Salt Baked Chicken, one Braised Pork Cooked With Preserved Vegetable, one Dongpo Pig Knuckle, one bowl of plain white rice, and a glass of lemonade . That’s all . ” The first thing Yu Chu did after sitting down was to place his order .

“Ok . How about you, Sister Jia?” Zhou Jia turned and asked Jiang Changxi .

“Give me a moment . ” Jiang Changxi politely smiled at Zhou Jia before turning to look at Yu Chu .

“Since you have just gotten off a flight, I feel like it’s better for you to eat something bland,” Jiang Changxi earnestly advised .

Even Jiang Changxi who would normally not worry about money felt like Yu Chu was intentionally doing this when she heard what he ordered .

“Exactly . Braised Pork Cooked with Preserved Vegetables is quite bland,” Yu Chu said with a nod .

“I meant it’s better if you just order some vegetables,” Jiang Changxi said while gnashing her teeth .

“I see . Ok, add one set of Jin’ling Grass then . I heard this dish is very bland,” Yu Chu ordered after thinking about it for a second .

“Are you intentionally robbing me just because I am rich?” Jiang Changxi grumbled .

“It is very rare to see Director Jiang treating someone to a meal . Of course I have to order more,” Yu Chu earnestly explained .

“Forget it, I’m not talking about this with you anymore . ” Jiang Changxi rolled her eyes . She didn’t really care about that much money . Therefore, there was no point in talking too much about it .

“Director Jiang, the dishes I ordered are only for myself . If you want to eat as well, order your own dishes,” Yu Chu reminded after seeing that Jiang Changxi wasn’t making her own order .

When he saw Jiang Changxi glaring at him, Yu Chu immediately explained himself, “I had not eaten anything as I was rushing to get onto the flight . After breakfast, I hadn’t eaten anything for an entire day . “

“You will be blacklisted if you can’t finish your food . Think again,” Jiang Changxi reminded, finding this funny .

“Don’t worry, Director Jiang . I can finish what I ordered,” Yu Chu nodded and promised that he would be fine .

“Ok . I want a set of Dongpo Pig Knuckle, a set of Jinling Prawn, and a glass of lemonade,” Jiang Changxi ordered .

“Ok . Please wait for a moment . It won’t take too much time,” Zhou Jia calculated the price and said .

Among the customers that had entered, Yu Chu was the first to order . After all, he had arrived with a luggage bag while the other customers were not in any rush . In any case, they were already in the restaurant .

Therefore, the first dish to come out of the kitchen was what Yu Chu ordered . It was the Dual-taste White Oil Tofu that he had been looking forward to .

“Your Dual-taste White Oil Tofu . Enjoy your meal,” Zhou Jia said after serving the dish .

“Thank you,” Yu Chu thanked and shifted his gaze onto the dish and tableware in front of him .

“Give me a spoon,” Yu Chu said towards Zhou Jia who had yet to walk far away . It was natural for one to use a spoon when eating tofu . After all, tofu would be hard to pick up using chopsticks .

“You don’t need a spoon to eat our tofu . You will understand once you start eating,” Zhou Jia turned and said mysteriously .

Before Yu Chu had a chance to say anything, Wu Hai who was sitting beside him spoke .

“Don’t you worry . Let me demonstrate how you eat this dish . It is quite easy to eat tofu using chopsticks,” Wu Hai said while reaching over with his chopsticks .

“No thanks . ” Yu Chu quickly protected his food .

“Tsk, tsk . Yu Chu, you have been corrupted . I am just trying to help,” Wu Hai said with a pained expression .

“I suggest you to only start eating when your own food arrives . ” Yu Chu was unmoved . With one hand, he protected his food . With the other hand, he started eating with his chopsticks .

“You won’t be able to trick anyone who has tried Boss Yuan’s food before,” Ling Hong spoke lazily .

“That might not necessarily be true . ” Wu Hai still had the courage to dream .

“You might even meet someone that is even more shameless than you . You might get your food snatched by that person instead,” Ling Hong said .

“Such a person does not exist,” Wu Hai said with confidence .

“I guess you’re right . Nobody is as shameless as you,” Ling Hong nodded and agreed .

“I don’t understand you . If you are saying that I’m shameless, why are you trying to make me feel shame?” Wu Hai complained, as if Ling Hong was impervious to reason . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

This rendered Ling Hong completely speechless . He turned his head and stopped speaking .

As the name implied, the White Oil Tofu was, in fact, tofu cooked with lard . As for the so-called dual-taste, it was because this dish could be cooked two ways, one sweet and one salty .

The tofu was neatly arranged on a crystal plate . In the middle of the tofu was a gap separating the tofu into two .

This was probably the dividing line of the two flavors .

“Interesting . ” Yu Chu did not know which flavor would be at which side . Therefore, he casually picked at the right side with his chopsticks .

“Huh? It’s cold? Yu Chu was astonished when he put the tofu into his mouth .

“Oh, this feels kind of weird, It’s sweet tofu,” Yu Chu added . Then, he immediately shut his mouth as the tofu was melting in his mouth .

That’s right . The tofu on the right side was cold . After entering his mouth, the warmth in his mouth immediately melted it .

A sweet flavor started slowly spreading in his mouth . A layer of starch was around the tofu, further amplifying the tenderness and smoothness of the tofu .

Gulp! Yu Chu swallowed the tofu . A faint fragrance of bean gushed down his throat .

“Interesting,” Yu Chu picked up one more piece of the tofu at the right side and impatiently stuffed it into his mouth .

Since this tofu was cold, it did not feel greasy to the mouth . Rather, it felt refreshing . Moreover, the cold temperature actually helped one better appreciate the tiny trace of springiness amid the tenderness and smoothness of the tofu . A sweet flavor lingered in his mouth without stopping .

After finishing half the sweet tofu, Yu Chu suppressed his desire and picked at the left tofu with his chopsticks .

The sweet tofu looked quite simple . It was merely white tofu wrapped with a layer of translucent starch . With some green leaves added on the plate as decoration, it looked both minimalistic and pleasant to the eyes .

As for the salty tofu, it was rather brightly colored . Some green peas and red pieces of ingredients had been added to it, making it look both pretty and alluring .

“Looks like everyone likes to add peas when cooking tofu,” Yu Chu recalled the frozen peas added in the tofu he tried when he was at Gan River .

It hadn’t been two days since he tried that tofu . That’s why he still remembered it clearly . When he thought of that tofu, he frowned unconsiously .

Yu Chu was unlike others . He was not someone who would first eat what he liked . That was why he first picked up the pea from the salty tofu’s side .

“Well, the peas here do look much better,” Yu Chu commented while looking at the pea .

Humans were a visually inclined species . If a dish looked good, one would instinctively feel like this dish was delicious .

This was Yu Chu’s current feeling .

He then stuffed the pea into his mouth and started chewing .
