Chapter 50: Clear Mutton Soup (Part 2)
Welcome back to prosperous food com.
This is an early release of this chapter as translator-san is still a bit weak and drowsy from the medicine and could not wait until midnight to release it.
Enjoy
Seeing how much Sir Song Tao was enjoying the soup, Shen Yaoshan immediately gulped down the bowl of soup. The hot soup immediately flows down his throat towards his stomach. On a cold winter day like this, nothing beats having a bowl of hot soup.
Ren Yue does not like mutton and the stink of mutton.
He just sat at a side and did not drink the soup.
Wen Rou saw that Ren Yue did not drink the soup, and smiled, "Master Ren, why didn't you try the soup? This soup does not have the smell of mutton. Even if the immortals drink it, they would be impressed! Why not give it a try?"
"Ren San, this soup is really heavenly! If you do not drink it, I will drink yours!" Shen Yaoshan burped. Just now, he had finished a whole jar of wine and he was quite full.
"Ren Yue, give it a try. Everything should be tried, so that you know how it is!" Sir Song Tao advised.
Ren Yue smiled and waved his hand.
Wen Rou immediately added, "Master Ren could finish the white cabbages and the noodles, why can't he try the mutton soup!"
As soon she uttered these words, Ren Yue was angered. Why did this lass had to bring up my sore points and make me look bad in front of my teacher and peers?
If the rest of the people know that I, the unparallel gentleman, had eaten a bowl of noodles and a plate of white cabbages that she had cooked, I would become a laughing stock. After all, I am known as a fine food critic.
"Just one mouthful of the soup? I drink it!" Ren Yue took a sip.
He was intending to spat out the soup in disgust just to teach her a lesson. But instead, when he tasted the soup, he was pleasantly surprised.
Fresh!
How could he immediately think of this word when he tried the soup.
Ren Yue could not stop himself, and repeatedly used to spoon to deliver the soup to his mouth. In a few spoonfuls, he had finished the bowl of soup.
"Is it good?" Wen Rou asked with satisfaction.
She felt like a victor.
Who ask you to be so picky about food! I will definitely cure your picky habits!
Ren Yue looked at Wen Rou, and wiped his mouth. Then he gently replied, "It is barely passable!"
"Ren San, this is passable? Then whatever you think is tasty must be heavenly!" Shen Yaoshan remarked.
That must the white cabbage and noodles! That day, Ren Yue had finished all the white cabbages and noodles.
Wen Rou could not help giggling in her heart.
"Young lady, please do continue!" Sir Song Tao licked his lips in anticipation.
Just now, he was a bit sceptical of this girl. After he had drunk the soup that she had made, all his doubts were gone. Right now, he was convinced that this lady is a fine chef.
Wen Rou begun to peel the bread into small pieces and placed them into the bowl. Then she would place the mutton on top. Next, she added some onions, parsley, fungus, cooking wine, vermicelli, salt and other ingredients. Finally, she added a bit of soup.
This time, Shen Yaoshan did not wait to be called, and immediately picked up the bowl. He ate it at the same time as Sir Song Tao.
"This 2nd method of eating is called, "One mouthful of soup." When you have eaten all the ingredients, there will be only 1 spoonful of spoon left. The soup is infused into the bread, making it moist and fresh. Please try!" Wen Rou explained.
Sir Song Tao and Shen Yaoshan did not wait for her to finish, and had already begun eating.
"It is tasty! Very tasty!" Shen Yaoshan nodded his head as he eats. He did not use his wide vocabulary to describe the food. Other than tasty, the word that best described this soup is still 'tasty'!
Sir Song Tao also agreed. Eating the bowl of soup with the bread crumbs is a slice of heaven.
The boldness of the northwest cuisine is manifested in this bowl of clear mutton soup. Its spirit of being heroic and subtle is reflected in this spoonful of mutton soup served with bread.
When they finished the meal, there is exactly one spoonful of soup left. Not a drop more, not a drop less!
"Young Master Ren, please try." Wen Rou advised.
Looking at the soft bread that seemed to dissolve and turn into jelly-like in the soup, Ren Yue waved his hands and refused to partake in this dish. He picked up his soup bowl and added more soup, and smiled, "I prefer the taste of the soup."
"The third way of eating is 'Water surrounding the castle'." Wen Rou smiled, and took out a big lump of bread and a big bowl. She placed the bread in the middle of the bowl, and added some soup around it. This time, the soup was much more than the previous two times.
The bread looks like a castle that was surrounded by the soup, an apt description of this method of eating.
"This method of eating the 'Water surrounding castle' had more soup. When you eat it, nibble it bit by bit, and avoid stirring. In this way, the food taste is consistent from beginning to end."
"There are sugared garlic and chilli sauce for you to mix and match so that it will suit your taste. However, at the beginning, I do not recommend that you add them, because this may affect your tastes. When you feel that the soup is a bit greasy, eat a sugared garlic, and pick a bit of chilli and mix it in the soup. This will clear your mouth of the greasy taste." Wen Rou smiled as she explained how to best enjoy the taste of this dish.
A merry twinkle in her eyes indicated that she had finished explaining the best way to enjoy the meal, and it is time for them to try it.
The three different ways to enjoy the soup had filled their bellies, and made them feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Sir Song Tao was very pleased with the wine and the food, and very satisfied with the meal, "The bread (Bao Mo) may look simple, but it contains deep learning. Just like people. Some people may look simple and ordinary, but they are highly skilled and are hidden experts! Ren Yue, if you do not learn how to appreciate them, you would have missed a lot!" while Sir Song Tao was saying this, his gaze was focused on Wen Rou.
Shen Yaoshan finished the last drop of soup, then he drank some more wine and smiled as he asked, "Lady, may I know your name?"
"This is Drunken Immortal Restaurant's head chef Wen's daughter, named Wen Rou, and is learning how to cook from her father." Old man Qiao was afraid that Wen Rou would say something wrong, and immediately answered.
"Oh? How long have you learned cooking?" Sir Song Tao asked in surprised.
"In reply to our distinguished guest, I have not learnt cooking for a long time. Only half a month!" Wen Rou did not look ashamed nor did she look down on herself. Instead, she confidently answered with a merry twinkle in her eyes.
"Half a month?" Everyone was stunned.
Even the proud Ren Yue could not help frowning and looking at this young lass.
Wen Rou may be young, and her curves have not been fully developed yet. She may be dressed in a simple cotton robe, but her face and the clarity of her eyes could not hide her beauty. She just stood there confidently, ignoring the stares of the dumbstruck men around her.
"Lady Wen, did you made the Rou Jia Mo as well?" Shen Yaoshan eyes were filled with surprise and delight!
"That's right! May I know if it meets your expectations?" Wen Rou replied.
"Oh, it is delicious, super yummy! Later I want to bring some back for my buddies to try!" Shen Yaoshan was very pleased and he stood up in excitement.
"He is still the same old Shen Yaoshan that I used to know, and will not forget his brothers!" Wen Rou thought.
"This is not difficult. Later I will go the kitchen and make some more, and pack it so that you can carry them for your buddies!" Wen Rou smiled as she replied.
"Lady Wen, regarding this wine, can I pack some back with me as well?" Shen Yaoshan tried to see if he could get more benefits, and hugged the big jar of wine as he implored.
"Shen Yaoshan, if you did not mention it, I would have forgotten about it. That day when I come to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, when I first set sight the wine that Lady Wen brew, I had also said that I want to buy some back! Today, I intend to take the wine as well. So leave some for me!" Ren Yue looked at Wen Rou and unleashed his most handsome smile.
"Ren San, are you telling me that this wine is also brewed by Lady Wen?" Shen Yaoshan could not believe his ears.
"Hehe, Lady Wen, please busy yourself!" Ren Yue flipped his sleeves and indicated that Wen Rou should leave. He did not answer Shen Yaoshan. The answer is obvious.
Sir Song Tao sat between the two men and looked at each other, and could not get a word in.
Why is no one surprised that this 12 years old lass could cook and brew wine?
Old man Qiao and Manager Lee heaved a sigh of relief. At least, this ordeal is over. Just now, they were frightened out of their wits, thinking what if the distinguished guest is angry at Wen Rou etc.
Qiao Zizhang was filled with delight! Hehe, this lass is really formidable!
