2252 Acquaintances
“Alright, I’ll be looking forward to it.” Xuan Meng nodded.
The main reason was that even if she didn’t believe her best friend’s crafty tongue, she had to believe the official endorsement reports.
“Haozi?” Xuan Meng Ran into an acquaintance when she was queuing up. To be exact, it was an old patient.
Two years ago, when Xuan Meng was working as a counselor in Chengdu, Hao Zi had been brought here by his family for consultation. He was in his 20s, but he was as afraid of strangers as a child.
His family had brought Hao Zi for psychological counseling in secret. Their words revealed that they felt that Hao Zi had embarrassed their family. Then, they had brought him here because they felt that they had embarrassed themselves in front of their relatives.
Xuan Meng learned that haozi had serious depression-type autism, and his biggest characteristic was his fear of strangers. He was not a stranger, including unfamiliar environments.
“What’s wrong?” Ding Shao noticed that ji you’s face suddenly turned serious.
“It’s nothing,” Xuan Meng shook her head and tried not to make a sound. It was already a miracle for haozi to come out and line up with so many people. She was afraid to ruin the atmosphere.
Time passed by. Ding Shao and the others were extremely lucky today. Although they arrived later, they still managed to get one of the last few spots and could have a meal.
After getting the number plate, ding Shao heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was at the back, it was good enough that he had food to eat.
To be honest, waiting for good food was really hard to bear, especially when waiting for good food on an empty stomach. It was an excellent way to train one’s willpower.
No matter how hard time was, there was an end to it. Soon, as lunchtime came to an end, it was ding Shao and Xuan Meng’s turn to go in.
Ding Shao was tall, and with his high heels, he looked like a chicken in the South. However, there were many girls who were about the same height as her in the queue. There were three to five girls who were about the same height as her, or even taller, just a dozen seats in front of them.
They were Xiao Hui, Xiao nuo, and a group of people. They used to be models and had great figures. Master chef Restaurant had become the gathering point of their small Alliance. No one had ever had a bad appetite when they came to the restaurant.
When ding Shao and Xuan Meng entered the store, Xuan Meng raised her eyebrows. She had not noticed it before, but now she realized how small the store was.
The table for two was empty, so the two of them walked straight over, far away from Hao Zi.
“This menu is a little thick.” Xuan Meng immediately noticed the two menu books on the table.
“Boss Yuan is good at seven or eight cuisines. It’s normal for him to be so thick. What do you want to eat?” Ding Shao said calmly.
Although she hadn’t been in the store for a long time, she was already an experienced person, so she naturally had to guide the new people.
“Don’t you know me? of course, I’ll still eat those dishes. ” Xuan Meng said directly.
Xuan Meng had an unknown preference that did not match her image and personality, but it matched her name. She liked lychees.
As a local of Guangdong, Xuan Meng liked lychees so much that ding Shao could not even complain.
She only ate lychees for fruits. She would try other fruits as well, but it was usually a one-time deal. Lychees would always be at the top of the fruit leaderboard. She had to eat dishes made with lychees, desserts made with lychees, or desserts made with lychees. Otherwise, they would all be tasteless. As long as the conditions were met, dishes made with lychees were required to go with rice.
Ding Shao often laughed at Xuan Meng, saying that she was a lychee that had become a spirit, or that she was a lychee in her past life.
Ding Shao was speechless at Xuan Meng’s words, but what else could his best friend say?
“Then you can try Cantonese and Yunnan cuisines,” ding Shao said after some thought.”These two cuisines use fruits more often. You can try lychee dishes.”
Xuan Meng thought about it and felt that it made sense. She reached out and flipped through the menu. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, it had only been two or three minutes since they came in and sat down.
Su Ruoyan had already finished ordering the dishes of the customers who had come in earlier and was now in front of ding Shao and the others.
He felt that ding Shao looked familiar. After all, he had been coming here to make his presence known every day recently, so it was normal for him to look familiar.
“I’ll have a serving of red braised cold fungus, a serving of chestnut braised cabbage, a serving of sour meat, and a serving of rice.” Ding Shao was a person who followed the times.
Of course, she had been eating Hunan cuisine recently.
Xuan Meng quickly flipped through the menu and stopped looking after finding the dishes she wanted to eat. Ordering was the most important.
“Lychee shrimp balls, lychee lamb stew, crispy lychee meatballs, and a bowl of lychee and white fungus soup.” Xuan Meng was very happy. She listed a few dishes that were all related to lychees. Very few restaurants had so many dishes related to lychees.
Su Ruoyan glanced at Xuan Meng as she wrote. This was the first time she met someone who ordered all fruit-related dishes, and she was a beautiful yet wild girl. Why was she so beautiful? She was a little distracted.
However, she was very professional. Very soon, su Ruoyan finished writing the menu and then walked to the partition, waiting to hand it to Yuan Zhou.
When the menu was handed to Yuan Zhou, he suddenly had some inspiration.
“I made a flower feast for Xiao Ya last time. It’s the season for fruits now. When Xiao Ya comes back from her business trip, I can make a fruit feast for her and make her happy.” While Yuan Zhou was thinking in his heart, he started to prepare the ingredients quickly.
Although fruits and flowers were used in dishes since ancient times, they only began to flourish in modern times. Many famous fruit dishes were only famous in modern times.
Yuan Zhou had definitely studied these dishes before. However, no one had ever ordered such a comprehensive dish in his restaurant. Occasionally, however, someone would order one or two dishes to eat.
For example, the most famous fruit dish in Cantonese cuisine was the sweet and sour pork with pineapple. This was a very popular Cantonese dish, and from it, there was also the sweet and sour pork with lychee. The taste was also quite good.
However, there were many varieties of lychees, each with their own taste. The key was to choose the most suitable variety to cook.
For example, the crispy lychee meatball that Yuan Zhou was currently making was made with Osmanthus-flavored lychees. He was very fast and only fried a few meatballs. Therefore, it only took him five minutes to bring the crispy lychee meatball to Xuan Meng.
“This speed, is the boss single?” Xuan Meng pondered.
She had never seen a hot dish being served so quickly. There were also cold dishes that were prepared in advance. It was natural that it would be fast to put them on the plate at the moment of order. However, the speed of the hot dishes was amazing.
The crispy lychee meatballs in front of him were quite attractive. They were on a small white plate, and on it were five big yellow meatballs that were steaming. They were bigger than fresh lychees. There was one in the middle, surrounded by four meatballs. Although they were wrapped in something and fried, it was obvious that they were shockingly identical in size.
The rising white smoke was accompanied by a strong crisp fragrance, which kept drilling into people’s nostrils, tempting people to eat it.
