Chapter 684
The four young and lively girls were indeed here for the first time . They were best friends that had known each other since they started studying at university . After graduation, they all joined different companies for their internships but they were still staying nearby . Therefore, they still frequently kept in touch . How close they were was evident from the fact that they were coming out to Yuan Zhou's restaurant for a meal on the first night of Chinese New Year .
"Hey, mustache, stop eating . Check out the beauties . " Chen Wei was still eating as well but Wu Hai was eating like a pig . For some reason, the sight of Wu Hai eating made Chen Wei feel like punching someone . Therefore, he stopped Wu Hai with an elbow .
Beauty was something loved by everyone . The moment Wu Hai heard that there were beauties, he would probably raise his head by reflex . This was what Chen Wei had been waiting for . He was planning to snatch Wu Hai's food from him with lightning speed and unstoppable momentum . This would be his revenge for the torture subjected to him by Wu Hai's food pictures from earlier . He had a similar mindset of a school kid snatching a classmate's eraser as revenge .
Although Jiang Changxi hadn't been paying much attention, nothing could escape her sharp eyes . When she saw them, she was rendered speechless . Those two were truly quite childish .
This plan of Chen Wei was supposed to be a cinch . But for some reason, it was as if Wu Hai was deaf . Let alone raising his head, there wasn't even a slight pause to his eating . His chopsticks were still stuffing food into his mouth without a stop .
"Hey, Wu Hai, do you hear me?" Chen Wei cried out . Wu Hai was still behaving as if he was deaf .
This caused Chen Wei's perfect plan to fail .
While Chen Wei was trying to mess with Wu Hai, the four girls sat down at the corner of the restaurant . Psychologically, the seat one picked when arriving at an unfamiliar location would reflect one's character to a certain extent . From Jiang Changxi's habit of always sitting in the middle, it was clear that the this "three-lost woman" had quite an unyielding character .
"I want an Egg Fried Rice Set . "
"I'm here for the Bamboo Tube Rice . Boss Yuan, give me a bowl of Bamboo Tube Rice cooked with white rice, and a serving of beef mince . "
"A Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set please . "
Perhaps it was because it was Chinese New Year, or perhaps because Yuan Zhou was quite popular, the girls were all being quite polite . Yuan Zhou voiced his acknowledgment before looking at the one girl that hadn't ordered anything .
"I have been saving up for a while and haven't been buying a lot of cosmetic items for the past month . Give me a serving of Swedish Meatball . And… and…" Zheng Xixi hesitated .
The other three girls all looked at Zheng Xixi in doubt .
Zheng Xixi was aware that her next request would be rather unreasonable to the chef . Therefore, she paused in hesitation and was about to forget about her request .
"Get me a set of scorched rice cooked with white rice… that's all . " What Zheng Xixi did not mention was she wanted was Shaanxi Scorched Rice .
Scorched rice originated from Sichuan and Hubei . It wasn't a dish that was hard to cook . One only needed to fill an iron pot with cooked rice and slowly bake the rice until it became scorched rice . When the dish was done, there would be a golden yellow layer of crispy and fragrant scorched rice at the bottom of the pot . This was also the origin of its name .
Zheng Xixi was the eldest of the four girls . Comparatively, she was also a more mature person . Her elder brother was staying at Shaanxi . Therefore, she had once stayed there for a few months . After having scorched rice several times at a restaurant there, she couldn't forget the taste . After returning to Chengdu, Zheng Xixi found several restaurants with scorched rice, yet the taste was too different from what she had once tried .
In fact, all types of scorched rice were cooked in a similar fashion . The only difference would be the additional ingredients added . For example, at Sichuan, there would be fermented black soybeans, pickled vegetables, cowpeas, and some preserved vegetables . After the meal, an Egg Seaweed Soup would be served as well . In fact, it was quite similar to how people would cook it at Shaanxi .
"What's going on, Xixi?" This was Meng Yi, the Meng Meng who was speaking in a loud voice earlier .
"Nothing . I just recalled something earlier . " Zheng Xixi shook her head and added, "A set of Sweedish Meatball and scorched rice please, Boss Yuan . "
Yuan Zhou nodded and did not say much . He started preparing to cook .
"Dog, stop touching everything . You will have to pay if you break something . " Ge Bailing pulled at the short-haired girl beside her .
One might have an unsuitable name, but one would rarely have an unsuitable nickname . The short-haired girl was nicknamed Dog because she was very active and would touch everything she found interesting, just like a dog .
