Chapter 218 Taste the Difference
Xu Cong turned his head and looked at his eldest and second brothers beside him.
Xu Cong'an raised his hands in surrender, holding the unswallowed chicken feet in his mouth, and smiled innocently and apologetically: "Sister, please forgive me. My tongue really can't tell the subtle difference between the two bowls of chicken feet. To me, they are both extremely delicious and hard to give up!"
Xu Congyi snorted and turned his gaze to his eldest brother.
Xu Congwen was naturally not like his younger brother. He ate very carefully.
"Yiyi, I think both are delicious, but like everyone else, I prefer this one. The pot with more chicken feet, when you first taste it, has a strong sauce aroma that rushes straight to your nose and occupies your taste buds in an almost overbearing way, but there is no aftertaste. It's over once you've eaten it. Just like what grandpa said, it seems to lack a flavor that makes people linger. And this pot can feel the perfect fusion of the sauce and the ingredients, with rich taste layers. First, the mellowness of the sauce slowly spreads in the mouth, and then the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves gradually emerges, making people unable to stop eating. The only regret is that the soup is a little thin. If it can be thicker, it will definitely be more perfect."
"Yes, yes, what Congwen said makes a lot of sense!" Old man Xu felt that his grandson had spoken to the heart of his heart.
Xu Congyi was extremely happy to hear that his family members approved of the sauce he made.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, big brother, the two pots, the one with more chicken feet is stewed with the ready-made sauce I bought from the space, and this one is made by me according to the method in the space, using our family's seasoning. I let you taste it because I was worried that the sauce I made was not good enough, but tonight you gave me a lot of confidence. Do you think that this one with my homemade sauce can be used to open a restaurant?"
"Absolutely! It's delicious!" Xu Cong'an was immediately excited when he heard about opening a restaurant, and nodded repeatedly to show his support. Li Dahua was more rational, and she reminded: "Yi Yi, your idea is good, but opening a restaurant is a big deal, and we still need to listen to Mr. Tang's opinion."
"Mom, don't worry, I understand. I already have a plan. I will continue to improve the sauce. I will go to the city in a few days and find a chance to ask Mr. Tang to taste it. Then I will make further adjustments based on his feedback. If he thinks it's okay, we can discuss the cooperation with the restaurant in depth." Xu Congyi assured her family that she knew what she was doing.
"What about this plate of kimchi, what do you think?" Xu changed the topic to kimchi. If she opened a restaurant, she planned to serve kimchi directly to the guests as a complimentary side dish, so she also wanted to ask everyone's opinions.
"Sweet! Spicy! Crunchy! Refreshing!" Xu Congwen's comment was concise and his evaluation was unanimously agreed by the whole family.
At night, Xu Congyi entered the space and heated up a bowl of homemade sauce in the microwave, and asked Shen Xiao to try it. "Brother Shen Xiao, try it. This is the chicken nugget casserole I made tonight. I made the sauce myself. Please help me taste it."
Hearing this, Shen Xiao looked up at the bowl of steaming hot and tempting chicken nuggets. Shen Xiao recalled that the three of them were in Tang Wenhao's room before, and Xu Congyi and Tang Wenhao were excitedly discussing the plan to open a restaurant. However, since that day, Xu Congyi seemed to have suddenly become busy. Apart from occasionally mentioning the ongoing house construction and renovation at home, he rarely mentioned the progress of the restaurant plan. Although Shen Xiao had doubts in his heart, he did not ask more questions, only saying that the preparations were tedious and complicated and needed time to polish carefully. At this moment, it seems that Xu Congyi was making preparations.
After tasting it carefully, Shen Xiao gave his opinion, "If this is used to open a restaurant, I think that restaurant will definitely attract many people to come."
Xu Congyi tilted his head and looked at Shen Xiao, his eyes smiling into crescents, "Brother Shen Xiao, I'll find you the day after tomorrow morning, and then we'll go to Brother Wenhao's place together. There are still some places that need to be adjusted for this sauce. I'll bring the adjusted sauce the day after tomorrow, and we'll make it again. If Brother Wenhao approves, then I'd like to cooperate with him in opening a restaurant."
"Don't worry," Shen Xiao looked at the little girl with curved eyebrows in front of him and couldn't help rubbing her little head with his hands.
After Shen Xiao finished eating all the chicken nuggets and side dishes in the bowl, he stood up and washed the bowl. Now Shen Xiao had a basic understanding of how to use the things in the space, and he was able to use them with ease.
After cleaning up the table, the two continued to read in the restaurant. Shen Xiao was very serious when he started reading. Xu Congyi finished the task he had set for himself today, raised his head, and saw Shen Xiao concentrating on reading the book in his hand. His eyes were focused and deep, as if the whole world was condensed between those few lines of text. His eyebrows unconsciously frowned slightly, and then gradually relaxed, revealing his deep fascination with the content of the book.
Xu Congyi didn't say anything, but just held his chin with one hand and looked at Shen Xiao quietly.
