When Yuan Shuiqing rode his bicycle to 99 Braised Chicken, the store was full.
Sun Quan was sitting at the bar, wearing an earphone in one ear, and was typing while guarding the bar. The amount of royalties from last month gave him the best incentive. Just as there must be brave men under heavy rewards, he was typing now.
Full of motivation.
When Yuan Shuiqing walked in, what he saw was him sitting at the bar, facing the computer, typing selflessly.
Some people say: Men who work hard are handsome!
Maybe!
When Yuan Shuiqing saw this scene, she paused in her steps and subconsciously looked at him twice.
Then, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
She walked to the bar.
But her appearance attracted the attention of all the diners in the hall. She is so beautiful! Of course she will attract attention.
Someone could faintly be heard exclaiming.
"Wow! So beautiful……"
"A bit like Li Jiaxin..."
"So tall..."
"Is this from our school? Which department is it from?"
…
Sun Quan, who was typing, suddenly felt something. His nose seemed to smell a familiar aroma. He turned his head and saw two long legs in jeans. When he looked up again, he saw Yuan Shuiqing's smiling face.
He smiled and said, "Here you come? Help me look after the bar for a while! I'll go in and cook!"
As he spoke, he stood up and casually saved most of the chapter he had just coded.
"Okay, OK!"
Yuan Shuiqing agreed softly, and when Sun Quan walked out of the bar, she sat down at the bar and watched for him.
…
The dishes Sun Quan planned to cook for lunch today have already been cut and prepared.
The code tastes the code taste and the sizing should be sizing.
Walk into the kitchen, put on an apron, and start cooking.
Liu Guangfu, who was cooking for the guests next to him, became more and more surprised as he watched.
From time to time, Qu Li, the waiter who came into the kitchen to serve dishes and placed orders, was also surprised.
So, while Sun Quan was cooking, he heard their praises from time to time.
Liu Guangfu: "Boss! Did you really just graduate today? Are the skills you learned in the cooking class so good?"
Qu Li: "Boss! You are so good at your craftsmanship, why don't you open a serious restaurant?"
When he heard this, Sun Quan looked back at her and asked, "Isn't my store serious?"
Then, Qu Li quickly apologized and explained, "No, no! Boss, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that your craftsmanship is so good. We only sell braised chicken, braised pork ribs and braised pork knuckles. What a waste!"
You can definitely open a decent restaurant!"
Of course Sun Quan understood what she meant, but he was just too lazy to answer seriously.
"Isn't my store decent?"
…
The store was full, so Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing had no tables to eat at, but Sun Quan didn't want her to wait until all the guests had finished eating, so every time he made a dish, he asked Qu Li to bring it to the bar and let Yuan Shuiqing eat first.
Pickled fish, sweet and sour pork, spicy chicken, stir-fried bitter melon, spicy and sour shredded jellyfish, pork ribs and yam soup.
Not long after, one by one they were presented to Yuan Shuiqing.
This was the first time he cooked a serious meal for her. The only drawback was that the food was serious, but there was no proper table to set it on.
When Sun Quan took off his apron cloth, washed his hands, and came out of the kitchen, he happened to hear a male customer who was paying the bill say: "Beauty! Is your lunch meal so good? It's better than what we eat. Your chef is very skilled.
Not bad! Why don’t you sell these vegetables? Are you afraid we can’t pay or what?”
Sun Qun took a closer look and saw that he was an old man in his forties.
Yuan Shuiqing at the bar gave him change while explaining with a smile: "We don't eat like this every day! My friend made this by himself. He doesn't have time to cook in the kitchen every day..."
The old man took the change and said with a smile: "Did your friend cook it? Not your chef? Can't your chef make these dishes?"
Shaking his head, the old man turned around and left.
Sun Quan walked to the bar with a smile. Seeing that the dishes and soup at the bar had not been touched, he felt a little helpless, "Didn't I let you eat first? Why haven't you touched it yet?"
Yuan Shuiqing helped him pull out the other high stool in the bar, "Waiting for you! You invited me to dinner, and you haven't come yet, how can I eat first?"
As she spoke, she pushed a pair of bowls and chopsticks prepared on the bar towards Sun Quan.
Sun Quan smiled and went over to sit down. When he picked up his chopsticks, he asked: "Want to have something to drink? If you don't have class in the afternoon, can we have two drinks?"
Yuan Shuiqing smiled and shook his head, "Forget it! Drinking at noon is not good. Besides, I don't like drinking either. Let's eat?"
"good!"
…
Yuan Shuiqing tasted sweet and sour pork first.
This dish looks very beautiful, with fried golden meatballs, light yellow pineapple chunks, and beautiful bell peppers, wrapped in bright red tomato sauce. Because it is drizzled with oil when it comes out of the pan, the whole dish is so beautiful.
They all seem to be glowing.
Maybe women are born to like this kind of beautiful-looking dish.
This was the first thing Yuan Shuiqing tasted.
I picked up a roux ball and put it in my mouth. The first thing I tasted was the sweet and sour tomato sauce. I bit it lightly and broke the crispy powder shell on the surface of the roux ball, making a soft sizzling sound.
Then, the delicious taste inside the meat ball filled her mouth.
After just one bite, her eyes lit up and a smile bloomed in her brows.
"Hmm... delicious..."
She nodded repeatedly and chewed faster.
Sun Quan chuckled. He had studied this dish carefully in his previous life. Is it not delicious?
All the ex-girlfriends who have tasted his dish dislike it.
Every time they wanted to eat the dish he cooked, he would never agree without promising him some extra benefits.
pity……
His conditions in other aspects were a bit poor, and those ex-girlfriends did not choose to marry him because they liked the dishes he cooked.
“Try this again! Spicy Chicken!”
After driving away all the ex-girlfriends that flashed through his mind, Sun Quan smiled and put a piece of chicken into Yuan Shuiqing's bowl.
The chicken of this Spicy Chicken is pickled before being put into the pot. After being oiled at high temperature, the surface of the chicken shrinks slightly. Before taking it out of the pot, sprinkled white sesame seeds are wrapped around the surface of the chicken, drizzled with sesame oil and added coriander fragments.
It also exudes a strong aroma.
Yuan Shuiqing put it into his mouth with a smile and took a bite. It was another wonderful experience.
The umami flavor of chicken, the spiciness of dried chili peppers, the refreshing and numbing smell of Sichuan peppercorns, the aroma of sesame seeds, sesame oil and coriander leaves...the rich taste and aroma made her feel like she was back in the days before she suffered from anorexia.
"You are really good at cooking!"
She praised softly.
"Then do you want to eat it for the rest of your life?"
Sun Quan asked seemingly jokingly.
He was in a good mood today, and the amount of royalties he received last month gave him confidence. Therefore, his real purpose in cooking such a table for her today was to ask her this question.
