“Yes, sir. Would you like one serving?” Su Ruoyan said with certainty.

Granny Jin’s eyes lit up.”I’ll have one then. A bowl of oil tea, a serving of Tibetan meat, and a serving of colorful glutinous rice.”

The dishes she ordered were all memorable. She had listened to Dong Fang’s words. It was not a waste to come to this restaurant. The most important thing was to not let down Dong Fang’s good intentions.

Madam Jin was an old and experienced woman. She was not really ignorant of the world. How could she not see that there was something unusual about this shop? most likely, it was not cheap. Although she did not know exactly how expensive it was, she knew in her heart how to repay Dong Fang’s friendship.

Of course, no matter how much Madam Jin could imagine it, she could not imagine that there were actually other explanations for the dishes made by chefs that were not just expensive.

The guest did as the host pleased. After granny Jin ordered, Dong Fang let Bao Wenli order. She had thought about it before, so Bao Wenli opened his mouth and reported the name of the dish,”A plate of deep-fried Daddi, a plate of chili bone, and a plate of colorful glutinous rice. That’s all.”

He had calculated that each serving was around 100 yuan. It was not expensive, but of course, it was not cheap either. Especially when he had been working, he had eaten box meals that cost more than 10 yuan. This time, he had definitely made up his mind to order so much.

Dong Fang looked at Bao Wenli’s determined expression and knew that she could not say anything. Besides, there was a traditional activity of snatching and distributing dishes in the restaurant. She just had to order more, and it would be more convenient to share the food. Thinking of this, she did not say anything else but ordered,”A plate of sour fish soup, a plate of stir-fried fish, a plate of King Fish, a plate of stir-fried Fern, and a plate of colorful glutinous rice.”

She had ordered fish, and she did not forget that Bao Wenli and granny Jin both liked to eat fish.

“Please wait a moment, customers.” While saying that, su Ruoyan walked to the kitchen and handed the list to Yuan Zhou. Then, she continued to order dishes.

Since Dong Fang and the others had entered early, they naturally ordered their food early. There were many people waiting in line behind them. Su Ruoyan quickened her pace. If she was faster, she might be able to let more customers in for a meal.

“Little Fang, this time I brought a study note from my early years. With your current learning progress, you can already start to read this note. You have to study hard.” When Madam Jin saw that su Ruoyan had left, she hurriedly spoke to Dong Fang.

This was the gift she had prepared for Dong Fang. As she spoke, she took out a booklet with a slightly yellowed cover from a cloth bag hanging beside her that almost blended into her clothes.

It was a little like the size of an elementary school student’s homework book. Although it looked old, it could be seen that the owner of the book cherished it very much and kept it very well.

Dong Fang’s eyes lit up. She had indeed fallen into a bottleneck recently, but she had always thought that it might be because she was old and did not have much perception, so she had been embarrassed to ask Madam Jin.

He didn’t expect that this pure celebration would have an unexpected surprise. He immediately said happily,””Thank you, Madam Jin. I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Don’t worry, I’ll study hard and won’t embarrass you.”

Although Dong Fang wasn’t an official disciple of granny Jin, she was still her half-teacher, so she wasn’t trying to coax her.

“Good, good, good. Then you’ll have to work harder.” Madam Jin was obviously very happy and kept nodding her head.

At this moment, the first dish was quietly served.

It was the marinated meat ordered by granny Jin. As a special food of the Miao tribe, the biggest feature of this dish, in addition to the long marinating time, was that it didn’t need to be cooked. It could be taken out directly, cut, and served on a plate, which was why it was particularly fast.

On the snow-white plate, pieces of meat as thin as cicada’s wings were transparent and shiny. They were hard and firm, and their color was bright yellow. They looked very pleasant. No one knew how they were made, but they looked very appetizing. Although the fragrance was very light and elegant, it was as if they had hands that kept tempting people to try it.

“It’s this sweet scent. The last time I smelled it was when your father got married.” Madam Jin said with emotion.

It was probably a habit of Madam Jin’s family. Except for the time when the child was born, they would not marinate a jar of meat every year like other families. This was also a habit of their family. Bao Wenli was not married yet, so his jar of meat had not been opened yet.

“Then, grandma, why don’t you try it?”

Bao Wenli felt that it was very fragrant and wanted to eat it, but she restrained her impulse. Instead, she told granny Jin to eat it quickly.

The main reason was that the fragrance of this meat was very light and could be endured. Otherwise, Bao Wenli would not have been able to stay calm.

Dong Fang had done some homework in advance. The last time she came to the Miao village, she had also eaten kun meat. But sometimes, it was not that people wanted to compare, but when they saw it, they could not help but start to compare.

Previously, she had already felt that the kun meat was very magical. The moment it was taken out of the VAT, it was already very translucent and had a beautiful color. However, when she saw Yuan Zhou’s plate of kun meat, she realized that she had been making a mountain out of a molehill. Only Yuan Zhou’s plate of kun meat could be considered to have a beautiful color.

Not only was the bright yellow color very bright and eye-catching, but it was also very pure. The bright color was also very transparent, like crystal.

Madam Jin picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. It was slightly cold, but as soon as it came into contact with her warm mouth, it began to heat up. As the temperature rose, even though it had already entered her mouth, the fragrance became stronger. The rich fragrance of the meat and the taste that had been fermented over time added a lot of depth to the fragrance, making it even more moving.

He didn’t know if it was because the slices were extremely thin, but after the temperature slowly rose, the fat part began to melt automatically. The lean part had a chewy texture, and the texture was different, but the same was the perfect taste.

There was a gentle smile on Madam Jin’s face, but her mouth was tightly pursed, as if she was afraid that the fragrance inside would escape if she opened her mouth. It would be too wasteful.

After eating one piece, Madam Jin reached out her chopsticks and picked up a second piece without even greeting Dong Fang and the other one. She squinted her eyes slightly with a satisfied expression, which showed that she was quite satisfied with the taste of the dish.

After granny Jin ate a few pieces in succession and the meat on her plate became less and less, Bao Wenli was the first to lose his patience. Although it was granny Jin who ordered it, he still wanted to try it. It was better not to have one more piece.

Looking at Dong Fang, who was also eager to try, the two of them looked at each other and confirmed that they were in the same boat, so they tacitly divided the last two pieces for each person.

When he put the meat in his mouth, its fragrance and refreshing taste instantly conquered baogun. He didn’t have time to carefully appreciate the delicious taste. The first thing he felt was an overwhelming regret. Why didn’t he think of eating it earlier? now, no matter how delicious it was, there was only one piece left. He really regretted it.

Of course, Dong Fang, who had eaten in the restaurant many times, had a slightly better performance. However, she had also made up her mind to order this dish again when she could come to the restaurant for a meal next month. She wanted to eat a plate of it by herself to satisfy her craving.
