Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 403 - Gossip among the Big Brothers
The old man was not lucid for long, and medical miracles do not happen so easily.

When Bai Zongchen and others arrived, the old man had returned to his usual self.

They didn't catch up, but the old man actually finished eating the scallion-fried sea cucumber made by Wang Fan while he was still awake.

There were only simple vegetables, sea cucumbers, green onions and rice on the plate, but it also contained Wang Fan's unique thoughts.

The sea cucumbers and greens looked whole, but in fact they had been cut into thin slices by Wang Fan using his superb knife skills!

The thin slices are placed next to each other, and are tightly adhered together by the sauce. You can't see them unless you pull them apart.

The moment the old man's spoon touched the sea cucumber, the sea cucumber scattered all over the place, which amazed the old man.

"Young man, your technique is really amazing. I haven't even eaten like this at the State Guest House. You can tell you're taking care of me, an old lady with bad teeth. Thank you so much."

Wang Fan quickly said, "I don't deserve your thanks. This is just a small token of my appreciation as a junior. Please eat it while it's hot. It's just the right temperature now."

Grandma Wu nodded with a smile, and looking at Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian standing together, she couldn't help but praise them again: "They are so handsome."

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian blushed, but their hearts felt as if they were filled with honey.

However, this old lady is the best in the world at giving sweetness, so it seems there is no need to be surprised if she gives you some honey?
"I'll try it."

Grandma Wu said this and used a fork to poke a piece of sea cucumber into the slices.

It is called a slice, and it is somewhat similar to a pig's ear. After all, this thing is hollow.

The shredded sea cucumber was not inserted, but was stuck in the gap of the fork.

Before putting it in her mouth, Grandma Wu could already smell an extremely rich onion aroma.

"Wow, at least the aroma of this one is no worse than the ones I had before. I can tell it's the real deal just by looking at it."

Grandma Wu put the shredded sea cucumber into her mouth as she spoke.

As soon as the shredded sea cucumber enters your mouth, the rich aroma of onion fills your mouth. After drinking the soup, some fresh fragrance still remains on your taste buds, but in the face of this overbearing onion fragrance, it can only become a part of the fragrance that stands out.

Chewing it gently, the sea cucumber shreds quickly in her mouth, but even with such a thin piece, she still feels the sea cucumber's amazing softness and elasticity, as if it dances on the tip of her tongue with every bite. The delicate, chewy and springy texture is simply irresistible.

The rich sauce clings firmly to the sea cucumber, gently stimulating the taste buds, and the onion aroma becomes more intense with every chew.

Then, the delicious taste of the sea cucumber gradually emerged, and the mellow but not greasy taste was equally intoxicating.

The deliciousness of sea cucumbers blends with the fragrance of green onions to form a unique and charming flavor.

The scallion-fried sea cucumber is just the right amount of salty and fresh, neither too bland nor too salty. The flavors of the various seasonings are cleverly balanced together, making the whole dish extremely delicious. After swallowing it gently, Grandma Wu could even feel that the fragrance in her mouth had not dissipated at all.

"It's delicious and lingers on your lips and teeth, just like the food at the State Guest House. It's worthy of being called a state banquet dish."

Grandma Wu sighed and praised, "It's amazing that you have such skills at such a young age."

Wang Fan didn't dare to respond and quickly said, "It's not as amazing as you say. I still have a lot to learn. Try mixing sea cucumber with rice. This rice is grown in my hometown in Northeast China. Do you think it makes a difference?"

Grandma Wu nodded and spread the rice with a spoon. The long-grain rice was distinct and had a fresh aroma. The sea cucumber sauce soaked the snow-white rice into a bright red, making it look even more tempting. The long sea cucumber slices mixed in immediately made everyone's mouth water.

Grandma Wu scooped up a spoonful of rice, and as she looked at it, she let out a soft "eh", but she didn't say anything. Instead, she put the spoon into her mouth first.

The rice becomes full of flavor after being wrapped in the sauce. The original mellow and fragrant taste is enhanced by the refreshing rice grains, and the taste also has a few more variations, which can be said to complement each other.

Grandma Wu chewed slowly, feeling that every grain of rice was soft and chewy. As she chewed, she chewed the sea cucumber into the rice. The taste was much better than eating the sea cucumber alone.

"Your rice... tastes like an old friend."

Grandma Wu suddenly felt a little sad. "The rice grains are plump, firm, shiny, and fragrant. They absorb soup well. Is this Longpingxin Wuchang's new seasonal rice?"

Wang Fan was surprised and asked, "You can even taste this?"

Grandma Wu smiled and said, "Of course. We've known each other for 70 years. He used to send me new varieties of rice, but he's gone now."

When eating rice, one never forgets Grandpa Yuan; when eating melon, one never forgets Grandma Wu. Although Wang Fan knew both of these elderly people, he really didn't know they had so many connections. "Are you that familiar with Grandpa Yuan?"

Grandma Wu raised her head slightly, her face full of nostalgia. "That was in 1950. I was a girl with pigtails then, and he was a young boy. We often shared our research findings with each other, and he liked to call me the campus beauty."

"Later, I applied to join DJI and settled in Northwest China, while he went to Hunan. It must have been nearly 20 years since we last saw each other, right?"

At this point, Grandma Wu laughed: "Later, when we met again, he asked me mischievously, 'School Beauty, why are you so dark?' I retorted, 'Junior, it seems you are as dark as me!' Hahaha..."

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian were fascinated by the gossip between the two leading bosses. After all, gossip was something no one could resist.

Moreover, this kind of gossip is not something that ordinary people can know.

"Decades have already passed. He's gone, and I'm old. The future of our country now depends on you young people."

After saying this, Grandma Wu's lucidity seemed to have passed and she returned to her old self.

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian looked at each other and could only sigh in disappointment.

At this time, Bai Zongchen and others arrived late. When they saw Grandma Wu had returned to her old self, they were all disappointed and looked dejected.

"What did the old man say to you just now?"

Wang Fan said, "Nothing much, just some gossip and encouragement for young people."

A big question mark appeared in Bai Zongchen's mind: "Little gossip?"

Wang Fan didn't say much. He took Zhuo Qianqian to clean up the dishes and walked out of the room, leaving behind a group of jealous and almost crazy leaders.

There was only a short moment of clarity, why didn't I catch up?

There is also some gossip to listen to, but that is Grandma Wu’s gossip, is that something that ordinary people can hear?

I'm so angry! Why can't you run faster?!
