Chapter 84
After receiving the instructions, Ji Lu, though very anxious, managed to keep quiet for the time being.
She observed how the three people around her ate.
Although Feng Shuyuan had just taught her, she couldn't guarantee that her actions were correct.
She was representing Major General An outside, and she couldn't let him down.
Of course, this perseverance did not last very long.
After briefly observing how these dishes were eaten, Ji Lu couldn't resist any longer and, imitating Feng Shuyuan, picked up a piece of tofu.
After taking one bite, Ji Lu's eyes widened in surprise.
This is too delicious!
The pan-fried tofu, with its skin still coated in broth, is fried until golden and crispy. With a gentle bite, it makes a satisfying crunch and fills your mouth with a savory aroma.
The inside, however, forms a stark contrast to the outside, being as smooth as silk and so delicate it breaks at the slightest touch.
One bite, and the salty and savory flavors of soybeans intertwined, giving Ji Lu a simple yet delightful experience that left her wanting more.
In the blink of an eye, three or four pieces were already in my stomach.
Ji Lu stopped herself from squeezing her hand any further.
There are other dishes too, but please eat in moderation!
She changed to a dish that looked particularly brightly colored: shredded pork with garlic sauce.
"What is this smell?!"
One bite, and it's sweet and sour.
Given that Feng Shuyuan knew that people in this world couldn't handle spicy food very well, he made two versions of Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce).
For someone who has never eaten spicy food before, today's dish is shredded pork with garlic sauce (not spicy).
The shredded pork was tender and smooth, while the wood ear mushrooms were crisp and refreshing. The sweetness of the shredded carrots and the slight spiciness of the shredded green peppers blended together to create a wonderful flavor.
"If you find the flavor too strong, you can eat it with some rice."
Feng Shuyuan reminded him.
Ji Lu listened to the advice and scooped a spoonful of rice from the bowl and put it in her mouth.
The rich aroma of rice instantly neutralized the taste in my mouth, making the originally overpowering sweet and sour flavor much milder.
so amazing!
The more I eat, the more I want to eat!
"Here, have a taste!"
Seeing that Ji Lu was enjoying her meal, Feng Shuyuan served her a bowl of soup.
"This tomato and beef brisket soup is also very good."
Ji Lu naturally had no doubts about Feng Shuyuan's recommendation.
She took the bowl and sincerely thanked him.
Then, she began to taste the soup in her hand.
The soup also has a sweet and sour taste, but unlike the rich flavor of shredded pork with garlic sauce, this one is quite refreshing.
After taking a sip, Ji Lu felt a warm glow in her heart.
Then, she scooped up another spoonful of beef and ate it.
The beef brisket was stewed until very tender, but not so tender that it fell apart in your mouth; it still had a slight chewiness.
During the stewing process, the beef absorbs the essence of the broth, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth with every bite.
After taking a sip, Ji Lu couldn't stop eating, one sip after another, and the bowl of soup disappeared in no time.
"Come on, have some cucumber salad, it's the most refreshing!"
Feng Shuyuan recommended it again.
……
Unlike Ji Lu's frantic eating, Shan Shanshan and Ding Ning had been in Anhua for almost two months and had naturally developed some immunity.
Therefore, they could chat with Feng Shuyuan while eating.
"Sister Yuanyuan, we're about to leave too."
"what happened?"
Feng Shuyuan was a little surprised.
Weren't you doing quite well before?
Seeing that Ji Lu was so engrossed in eating that she didn't care about anything else, Feng Shuyuan stopped taking special care of her and started chatting with Shan Shanshan and the others.
School is starting soon!
A single sentence conveyed a thousand sorrows, making Feng Shuyuan unable to suppress a smile.
She's really lost her mind. These college students came during the summer vacation, and they should naturally go back to class when school starts. Shan Shanshan mentioned this to her just a couple of days ago, but unfortunately, she's too busy to think straight.
"So when are you leaving?"
"It'll be tomorrow or the day after, so I came here today to have dinner with Sister Yuanyuan."
"I can't speak," Shan Shanshan said weakly.
"Sister Yuanyuan, please start ordering takeout soon. I feel really uneasy thinking about not being able to eat Anhua's delicious food for so long."
"Do you think you'd actually be able to order takeout if Sister Yuanyuan really started a delivery service?"
Ding Ning couldn't help but chuckle.
Shan Shanshan was taken aback.
Yes, it's so far away, how could it be her turn?
Thinking about it this way, she was overcome with sadness again.
"Speaking of which, what about Tang Jiang and the others? I feel like I haven't seen them much lately," Feng Shuyuan suddenly remembered.
Weren't they a group of five at the beginning?
"Don't even mention it. Tang Jiang does nothing but eat all day long, and Shi Erzhe follows him around eating and drinking for free. He takes a chicken feather as an imperial edict and vows to eat his way through Anhua."
"Didn't we also try to freeload off each other?"
Ding Ning said quietly.
"That's not important! What's important is that they've all gained 20 pounds!"
Shan Shanshan's expression was ferocious:
"How much extra good food have they been eating behind my back?!"
"It's okay, it's okay, Shanshan. You'll lose weight no matter how fat you are when you get back to school."
Hearing Shan Shanshan's pained expression, Ding Ning chuckled.
"What about Shi Bai?"
From what they were saying, none of them seemed to mention Shi Bai.
Upon hearing Shi Bai's name, Shan Shanshan's expression became somewhat complicated.
"Well, there's a popular term on the internet lately called 'otaku,' which I think suits him quite well."
"Can people really stay home even in Anwar?"
Feng Shuyuan spoke in surprise.
Anwar, are you really that unattractive to him?
"No, we still bring him three meals a day, but he has something more attractive to him now."
"what?"
"It's the guitar that you gave him, Sister Yuanyuan!"
Ding Ning smiled and spoke up from the side.
"Sister Yuanyuan, you don't know! His guitar playing is completely different from the songs played outside! It's pure noise!"
Just thinking about it made Shan Shanshan feel like she was about to collapse.
What's even more outrageous is that every time they bring food to Shi Bai, Shi Bai always grabs them and makes them listen to whether he has made any progress.
So, Shan Shanshan had to endure the sound of sawing wood every time.
"Sawing wood?"
Feng Shuyuan raised an eyebrow.
Shih Pai is quite unique for being able to play the guitar in a way that sounds like sawing wood.
"It's much better now. There are already many songs in tune," Ding Ning added with a smile.
"By the way, Shanshan, did you just tell them?"
After chatting for a while, Ding Ning seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Shan Shanshan a question.
"Oh no, I forgot."
Shan Shanshan froze instantly.
"tell what?"
"Today, it wasn't just the two of us who wanted to have dinner with you, Sister Yuanyuan. Originally, it was supposed to be the five of us together."
Thinking of the three people who might still be waiting at the meeting point, Ding Ning laughed out loud.
"We just followed you halfway and forgot to tell them."
The frozen Shan Shanshan was instantly thawed.
She grabbed her phone:
"Contact them right away!"
……
The three boys arrived late.
As soon as they entered, their resentment practically overflowed the screen.
Only after Shan Shanshan repeatedly apologized and offered to treat them to dessert later did the three of them finally calm down.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Feng Shuyuan added a few more dishes for the three boys.
Aside from Shi Bai asking Feng Shuyuan for guitar tips, the meal ended smoothly.
