Chapter 2253: The delicious lychees!
Translator: 549690339
It wasn’t blown or blackened, so it was natural for it to look greasy after deep-frying, but Xuan Meng didn’t feel that way when she looked at the crispy lychee meatballs in front of her.
Apart from the Golden surface and the unique fragrance of the oil after deep-frying, there was nothing else. As for the oil that would drip out of ordinary deep-fried food, there was no such thing.
“It smells so good.” Xuan Meng sniffed and liked the smell.
Very few chefs would choose to fry fruits when using fruits in their dishes. The requirements for the heat control were too high. If one was not careful, the fruit would shrink or expand, affecting the taste.
Xuan Meng didn’t know much about cooking, but she rarely ate fried fruits, especially her favorite lychees.
It was because she felt that it would become very greasy after being fried, and there would be no sweetness of fruit. It did not seem like she was eating fruit at all.
However, it was different now. The beautiful color and unique fragrance attracted all her attention. Xuan Meng picked up a meatball with her chopsticks. When the chopsticks touched the meatball, she seemed to hear a crisp sound, but it disappeared in a flash, so she didn’t pay attention to it.
“Ka Cha!”
He took a bite of the meatball and was immediately attracted by the taste. The Golden surface was made of bread husks, with a fluffy and crisp texture. When he added a little more, it was the fragrant taste of the egg liquid, and then the taste of the soft lychee.
Lychees were rich in water. The first two layers still had a dry taste, but the next layer was immediately filled with rich sweet juice, and then the meat filling. The taste advanced layer by layer, and each layer was different, just like a Pandora’s Box. No one knew what the next layer would taste like, and they could only know if they continued to bite.
Whether it was the Golden breadcrumbs on the outside or the tender and smooth meat filling inside, they were all served for the lychees. Not only did they not steal the sweet taste of the lychees, but they also highlighted the perfection of the lychees.
“Sweet but not greasy, moist and juicy, with a faint Osmanthus flavor. It’s the best Osmanthus-flavored lychee. It’s delicious.” Xuan Meng was a lychee fanatic, so she naturally knew a lot about lychees.
Not to mention the common species, Xuan Meng also tried some rare species, such as green ones, from time to time. The number of lychees she had eaten could definitely circle the earth several times.
“Is it really that good?” Ding Shao looked at the intoxicated Xuan Meng and was tempted.
In contrast to Xuan Meng, ding Shao didn’t actually like lychees. The reason was that he was sick of them.
With the lychee spirit by his side, how could he not be sick of it?
Therefore, ding Shao would usually avoid eating lychees if he could, not to mention the dishes made with lychees.
However, it was a different story now that the dish was cooked by Yuan Zhou. Moreover, she had an appetite just by looking at it. Moreover, she had never seen her close friend eat it so sweetly. Therefore, she was very tempted in her heart.
In just a few words, with a few clicks, three meatballs had gone down the plate. There were only five meatballs in total, and now only two meatballs were left on the plate.
Hearing ding Shao’s words, Xuan Meng stopped what she was doing. She wavered between good food and gay friends, not knowing which side to choose.
Finally, Xuan Meng took a deep breath, closed her eyes, picked up a meatball, and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she pushed the plate in front of ding Shao and mumbled,””I’ll give you this one for the sake of our 20 years of friendship. Other people don’t get this treatment. ”
Looking at Xuan Meng’s pained expression, ding Shao didn’t know why he felt so touched.
Without saying much, he first picked up the meatball and stuffed it into his mouth to take a bite, in case some people regretted it.
The crisp chewing sound was like biting her own body, and Xuan Meng’s heart ached.
When ding Shao took the first bite, his whole body trembled. This was the first time she had eaten a dish made with fruit. That’s right, she had not even tried the traditional Cantonese dish, pineapple sweet and sour pork.
But now, he had been turned pink by a small lychee. He had thought that lychees were just sweet and watery, no different from drinking sugar water. But when he put it in his mouth, he realized that the difference between imagination and reality was huge.
The outer shell was crispy and fragrant, the lychees were moist and sweet, and the filling was plump and juicy. The combination was wonderful. Anyway, ding Shao was very regretful. He clearly knew Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills, so why didn’t he eat it at the first moment and waste so many of them?
“You ordered so many dishes. You should have eaten less just now. Otherwise, you’ll be blacklisted if you can’t finish it.” Ding Shao could not help but ask.
“It’s okay, I can eat!” Xuan Meng said proudly.
Before ding Shao could continue his friendly conversation with Xuan Meng, he was attracted by another strong fragrance.
It was very different from the fragrance of deep-fried food. It had a natural fragrance, but also seemed to be rich and mellow after stewing.
When he turned around, he saw that the dish he ordered had arrived. Red braised cold fungus was a famous dish in Hunan Province and indeed had its own unique place.
In order to have some lychee’s cooking later, ding Shao pretended to be generous.””I ordered this, but we can eat together. It’s okay, I’m very generous.”
Ding Shao’s reason for doing so was simple. Xuan Meng usually only had a taste of dishes that weren’t made with lychees. She couldn’t waste much of it in exchange for more lychees. There was no better deal than this.
Ding Shao had thought of all the possible scenarios, but he had never expected that Yuan Zhou would be the one to cook the dish. Even those who didn’t like the dish would be able to eat a whole plate of it.
Then, she felt like she had shot herself in the foot. Xuan Meng ate the cold fungus just as fast as ding Shao. She didn’t move her chopsticks at all. She stuffed it into her mouth.
Seeing this situation, ding Shao could only speed up silently. Even if he opened his mouth to speak, he felt that he would be eating less and that he was at a loss.
The two of them were extremely fast and soon finished the entire dish. There was not a single drop of gravy left.
Because she ate too quickly, the next dish hadn’t arrived yet. Taking advantage of this time, Xuan Meng consciously looked at the other customers in the shop, mainly Hao Zi.
In fact, as a counselor, Xuan Meng was very curious. In the past, haozi was much less courageous than a mouse. A little change in the environment could make him panic. Although his face would not change much, his heart would beat faster.
It must be known that this small shop was full of people. It was constantly changing. There were regular customers, new customers, and even foreigners.
“Is it a relief? It’s normal for her condition to improve after two years. ” Xuan Meng hesitated. When she consulted Hao Zi, she didn’t give him much help because of his family. In the end, Xuan Meng even gave the phone to Hao Zi and told him to call her if he had any problems, but the latter never called.
The store was only so big. After haozi finished eating, he got up and saw Xuan Meng. Although the latter immediately lowered her head to avoid him, she still saw her. Haozi was obviously startled, and then silently left the store.
