Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

"No, I just want to ask you something."

Li Yingwan blinked: "My customers want to eat fish. Besides canned fish, do you have any dishes made with fresh fish?"

"Fresh fish?" Xu Zhou was taken aback.

It really does.

...

Li Dapeng, the owner of Li Laoge's Simple Meal, looked at Li Yingwan leaning against the wall talking to Xu Zhou, his face darkening.

Xu Zhou, standing next to him, had very clear and bright eyes.

"If you want a fish dish but don't want to serve your guests canned meat, my new dish is perfect."

"Young boss, I've been working with this shop upstairs for a long time," Li Dapeng said, his tone slightly annoyed.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Xu Zhou paused, then said, "I was just answering her question."

Is this considered robbery?

She practically offered herself up.

I can't just turn my customers away.

If you fail to compete, that's your own problem! It will also make it easier for you to acquire the shop, renovate it, and open a second comic book!

"..."

Li Dapeng's face was ashen.

This is trying to steal his biggest customer!

How can this work!

...

At first, Li Dapeng didn't take Xu Zhou seriously at all.

After all, the price is so high.

His shop serves casual meals, so there is no competition between them.

Unexpectedly...

It's only been a week, and this kid already has light meals available at his shop!

This foot massage parlor usually has a group of loyal customers.

That's a huge potential customer base!

Upon hearing this, Li Yingwan was clearly interested. She turned to the side and moved closer, and a fragrant breeze of rose scent wafted into Xu Zhou's nose.

"Young boss, we customers are only looking for a price around 100 yuan. Is your new dish made with fresh fish?"

"Correct."

Xu Zhou nodded: "The Sichuan peppercorn-roasted mackerel with cabbage puree uses mackerel and cabbage, which are in season in spring, as the main ingredients. The flavor is refreshing and slightly sweet."

"The ingredients we use are fresh fish. If you customers want to eat some fish, you can come to my shop tomorrow."

"Boss, we can make it in our shop too!" Brother Li said anxiously, afraid that Li Yingwan might really change her mind.

"We can also cook fish at our restaurant. You can come and see our new dishes tomorrow."

We can't let our customers be stolen! It's just fish!

Tomorrow they'll also upgrade and develop new dishes based on what that kid just mentioned, such as cabbage and fish!

"Okay, then tomorrow I'll let our customers and chefs try your new dishes and see what they'd like to eat more of."

Li Yingwan had also smelled the aroma emanating from Xu Zhou's cooking; just by smelling that aroma, she could sense his extraordinary culinary skills.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she patted Xu Zhou's shoulder with her slender hand, the fragrance of roses filling the air: "Then I'll be waiting for your new dish."

"..."

It smells good.

Xu Zhou felt a little dizzy from the fragrance and couldn't help but wonder if the aroma had been marinated thoroughly.

When I turned my head to look again, all I saw was the jade plate swaying gracefully.

real……

It's rare to find someone so young yet so charming.

"..."

Li Dapeng, standing nearby, glared at him angrily before turning and going back into the shop.

...

Xu Zhou didn't pay any attention to Li Dapeng's gaze. When it was noon, Liu Fang was the first to arrive.

"Boss, I'd like a bowl of porridge, to go."

"All right."

Xu Zhou quickly made the porridge.

Liu Fang didn't dare to waste any time when he got the porridge, and went straight to the Su Family Imperial Kitchen.

We arrived at the store.

I had just put down the packaged porridge and looked around but couldn't find Jiang Wen, so I left the porridge on the table in the back kitchen.

Where is my master?

"A big customer has arrived! Sous Chef Jiang is in private room number one!"

at this time.

When the waiter in the first private room heard the order to serve the food, his eyes fell on the bowl of porridge that had been packed up.

"Ok?"

"This is……"

"The snow melting soup looks a little different today. Is this the one the customer ordered to take away?"

Chapter 51 This time, the 'Snow Melting Soup' is a little different!

"Slim, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Wen! He's my senior!"

Inside the private room, Zou Xueer looked at Jiang Wen with the adoration of a fan looking at her idol.

Back at the Songbei Culinary Academy, Jiang Wen was a genius chef they could only look up to!

"Hello."

Jiang Yaotiao, with her short pink hair reaching her ears, stood up. She wore a black coolgirl short-sleeved top with an A-line leather skirt, and her edgy eyeliner made her look even more unruly.

Her slender, fair legs were encased in a pair of punk ankle boots covered in studs beneath the leather skirt.

"I am Jiang Yaotiao, and I am Zou Xueer's roommate."

"Hello, I am Jiang Wen, the sous chef of Su's Imperial Kitchen."

Jiang Wen smiled and nodded: "The snow melting soup you ordered has been packed up. This is our signature dish!"

"Take it."

"Thank you." Jiang Yaotiao reached out and took it, placing it on the table.

The bag is very exquisite, with the logo of Su's Imperial Kitchen on it, and you can even feel the heat when you touch it.

Zou Xue'er nudged Jiang Yaotiao lightly with her elbow, teasingly asking, "Are you going to pack this up for your childhood sweetheart?"

"Yeah, a few days ago someone in the group said he didn't respond to the class reunion, so I wanted to go see him today."

As Jiang Yaotiao spoke, she looked down and pressed her phone: "Go ask him if he's going... Hmm? Wait a minute."

I saw the latest message I received on my phone.

Jiang Yaotiao blinked and carefully examined each word. Then she looked at the melted snow soup in front of her with a puzzled expression and suddenly asked in a surprised and uncertain tone.

"Xue'er, is the Snow Melting Soup really a signature dish?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"..."

"what happened?"

"What did your childhood sweetheart say?"

Zou Xue'er leaned closer and saw the message Jiang Yaotiao had received on her screen, then slowly read it aloud, word by word: "You're really hungry..."

???

Although I had never heard this phrase before.

But for some reason, I understood the meaning of that sentence.

Zou Xueer defiantly opened the lid: "Your childhood sweetheart is questioning my taste!"

"Well, Zhouzi just says what he thinks..."

"No, you have to try it! My taste cannot be questioned!"

Zou Xueer opened the lid.

The steam rising from the porridge, carrying its aroma, went straight into their noses.

At first glance, the clear porridge not only has each grain cooked until it's bursting open, but also has a thin layer of porridge oil floating on top.

Under the lights, it truly resembles a cloud, unlike anything ordinary.

Although Zou Xueer felt that this dish looked different from the pictures she had seen before, she was surprised to find that it was not quite the same.

The actual product seems even more perfect.

But considering that the waiter brought it himself, he didn't think much of it and couldn't help but show off: "How is it? Not bad, right? Look at the presentation! The aroma! This is absolutely top-notch! As expected of Melting Snow Porridge... it looks completely different from other porridges!"

"It's not bad."

Jiang Yaotiao hesitated: "But..."

"But what? No buts!"

Zou Xueer gently scooped out an oyster with a spoon. The thin, transparent membrane covering the tender white oyster meat looked incredibly tempting.

"Gulu..."

Her eyes widened in amazement, and she couldn't wait to take a bite of the oyster meat. The tender, white flesh burst open as she bit into it, releasing the unique sweetness of seafood onto her taste buds.

The aroma of the ocean, like a sea breeze, pattered on her face, blending perfectly with the flavors of green garlic juice and the crunchy salted egg yolk.

It's a flavor I've never tried before! And...

How come your cooking skills have improved so dramatically? That's amazing!

"This...this is so delicious!"

At first, Zou Xueer drank it in a ladylike manner, spoonful by spoonful, but then she started pouring it directly from the bowl to her mouth.

After finishing the bowl.

She hadn't yet recovered from the extreme excitement and satisfaction she was experiencing, and couldn't help but gloat wildly.

"I already told you, Jiang Wen is the genius chef in our school, the most talented one!"

"It must be because your childhood sweetheart has no taste. This porridge is so delicious!"

"It really tastes good."

Jiang Yaotiao paused, then hesitated, "But Zhouzi has never lied since he was a child."

What went wrong?

Zou Xueer couldn't wait to order two more servings. One serving of such delicious porridge was never enough!

Thinking of the expectant look in her eyes, Jiang Wen went to the kitchen himself and made two servings to bring up.
