Chapter 241 World of Famous Works 30
Mo Ying placed the tray at the food serving window and leaned out, asking, "What bag are you carrying?"
Lin Xiaoqian's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she quickly said, "Hey, aren't you good at divination? Why don't you calculate what the distinguished guest upstairs wants to see me about?"
Mo Ying's face showed a look of disappointment, "I always tell you to practice some techniques, but you never do. Now look what's happened, you can't use them when you need them."
Jiang Shuang rolled her eyes at him. "Come on, how long have we been cultivating? What kind of techniques could we possibly be practicing? Stop acting like a dean of students at the cultivation academy and get down to business."
Mo Ying pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, but still walked into the kitchen while counting on her middle finger with her thumb.
"Oh, what a distinguished guest upstairs! He carries the aura of a dragon, though it's very weak. He must have picked it up from spending a long time by the side of the true dragon emperor. He must be a princess, or rather, the eldest princess..."
Lin Xiaoqian knew his abilities all too well, so she quickly interrupted him, "Alright, get to the point."
"Don't worry." Mo Ying continued his calculations, then suddenly frowned slightly. Lin Xiaoqian noticed this and her heart tightened. She asked, "What's wrong? Is something bad?"
So far, their only experience dealing with the royal family of the orc world was that, although she wasn't worried about what the princess would do to her, she still felt a little nervous in front of the royal family.
Mo Ying shook his head, looking troubled. He calculated the details again, and after a moment, he relaxed his brows and said to Lin Xiaoqian and the other person, "It's nothing, but it does have something to do with our restaurant."
Jiang Shuang frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Mo Ying suddenly said with a playful expression, "To be precise, it's related to someone in our restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoqian and his companion suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After exchanging a glance, they said in unison, "Could it be Zhuang Damao/Brother Zhuang?"
Mo Ying praised, "You guessed right."
Jiang Shuang's eyes widened, her face showing a look of 'no way'. 'Could it be that Zhuang Damao really offended the Prince of Tang, and that the Prince secretly had his daughter find someone to take him away?'
Mo Ying stroked his chin and hissed, saying, "It's not that serious. According to the divination, the outcome is good."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiaoqian said, "I think the Tang Emperor might be a little wary of Brother Zhuang, but he wouldn't go so far as to have someone arrest him. Li Shimin in history was a good emperor who cared for the country and its people. If what Brother Zhuang said is true, this is an opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to become powerful. But what if Zhuang Damao is a monster in disguise? Don't forget, this is a world with both gods and monsters. I guess he wants someone to determine whether what Brother Zhuang said is true or false."
Mo Ying nodded, giving Lin Xiaoqian an approving look. "I think you're right. Alright, it's nothing serious. Are the wontons ready for the customers? They're waiting outside, hurry up."
Regardless of who the princess is, let's finish today's wonton business first. Nothing is more important than selling wontons.
After the wontons were made, Jiang Shuang took the wontons for her distinguished guest upstairs, ignoring Li Lizhi's eager gaze, and left the room after saying "Please enjoy your meal."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Lizhi's eyes. She had thought Jiang Shuang had come to ask her to meet the owner of the restaurant, but it turned out that she had simply come to deliver food.
Sitting next to her, Wanjun looked at the plate of golden, glistening fried wontons with excitement and said, "I never imagined that wontons could not only be served in soup or served dry, but now they can even be deep-fried."
The fried wontons in front of me are exquisitely presented. Each round wonton is fried until crispy, and you can vaguely see the tender and juicy meat filling inside. The dough on top is pinched into the shape of four even and neat petals. It is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.
Wan Jun's mouth started watering. She quickly picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, dipped it in the small dish of red sauce that was supposedly called garlic chili sauce, and then put it in her mouth.
With a crisp 'crack', the slightly hot and crispy wonton bursts in your mouth, releasing tender meat juices. The filling contains fresh shrimp and bamboo shoots, which cut through the greasiness and add a refreshing and crisp texture. With each chew, your mouth is filled with fragrance.
Wan Jun's eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise, and she mumbled indistinctly, "Sister-in-law, this... this is so delicious! You have to try it."
With something on her mind, Li Lizhi couldn't eat anything. Besides, as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, the daughter whom her father and mother doted on, she had eaten all sorts of good food.
Seeing Wan Jun's enjoyable expression as she ate, she couldn't help but feel aroused. However, she didn't eat the fried wontons because she could tell from Wan Jun's eating manner that the fried wontons were too crispy and would crumble when bitten, making them unrefined to eat.
She picked up a soup spoon, elegantly scooped up a pink shrimp and pork wonton, and gently took a small bite.
The wonton wrappers were very thin, and the soup flowed out through the small openings in the wrappers, with a trickle running down the corner of her mouth. Li Lizhi quickly wiped it away gently with a handkerchief.
Hmm? It smells so fresh.
Li Lizhi couldn't help but take another bite, and the delicious flavor instantly spread across her taste buds. She simply put the whole wonton directly into her mouth and chewed it carefully. The wontons, soaked in the soup, were not large, but each one contained a shrimp, and they were extremely chewy and springy, without a trace of muddy taste.
There were also some unknown yellow granules in the minced meat. She had never seen them before and didn't know what they were, but she really liked the slightly sweet taste and texture of these yellow granules.
I never expected that these simple street-style wontons would be so delicious. The dishes made by the imperial chefs in the palace kitchen are not even a tenth as good as these shrimp and pork wontons. No wonder Wanjun runs around the streets every day, looking for delicious food.
Li Lizhi, who hadn't eaten properly for several days, suddenly had a great appetite. Before long, she finished a bowl of wontons and even drank the soup.
Looking at the empty bowl, Li Lizhi felt a little bloated and her cheeks flushed slightly. She had been taught since childhood to cultivate her mind and health, and to eat only until she was 70% full. This was the first time she had felt the bloating in her stomach.
Li Lizhi secretly regretted how she had been "captured" by a bowl of wontons.
But Wan Jun, who was standing to the side, asked her, "Sister-in-law, these fried wontons are also delicious. Don't you want to try some?"
Li Lizhi initially wanted to refuse, but thinking of the delicious shrimp and pork wontons she had just tasted, she became curious about the fried wontons. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then, I'll try one."
But after tasting the first one, she wanted a second, and only when she was so full that she felt uncomfortable did Li Lizhi reluctantly put down her chopsticks.
Over here, Lin Xiaoqian finished making the last bowl of wontons, took off her apron, and turned to ask Jiang Shuang, "Sister Shuang, do you think I should dress myself up? That princess thinks I'm a deity. Even if I'm not a deity, I should at least dress like a hermit."
Jiang Shuang smacked her lips. "You're right. Aren't there lots of clothes in the warehouse? Go find one that looks ethereal and change into."
Lin Xiaoqian quickly rummaged through the warehouse and finally found a large white robe embroidered with faint silver threads, which looked quite otherworldly.
She put on a long robe, took out a whisk from the storeroom, and flicked it a couple of times in front of Jiang Shuang, feeling quite pleased with herself. "Sister Shuang, how does it look? Doesn't it have that right feel?"
Jiang Shuang stared in disbelief. "Wait, why is there a whisk in the warehouse?"
Lin Xiaoqian rubbed his nose and said, "Daddy said that there must be religious groups in other small worlds, so bringing some items from the local Blue Star sects will make communication easier. Besides, we are cultivators after all, so this is our proper attire."
"So thoughtful." Jiang Shuang silently gave a thumbs up. Seeing Lin Xiaoqian take out a lotus-shaped hairpin, she quickly said, "Let me do it, let me help you tie your hair."
