It’s today’s crab roe noodles...
Uncle Wang sat cautiously on a small stool, eating noodles as he looked around at the others who were devouring their als, with only one question in his mind.
Should he really show up at this occasion today?
Since when did his, Wang Gen Sheng’s, connections beco so high-level that he ended up eating with Luo Jun, Chen Huihong, Chen Huixi, and Ouyang on the sa tiny stool, eating in the back kitchen of Yunzhong Restaurant.
Even though it’s the kitchen in the warehouse area, it’s still part of the kitchen.
Frequent patrons of private dining all know that if you can eat in the kitchen, your connections are definitely extraordinary.
Wang Gen Sheng began to ponder if he had done anything special recently to earn a second glance from Master Xiao Qin.
Was it that his recent food reviews were particularly good?
Although he’s written a lot, like about Four Happiness glutinous rice balls, vegetable buns, and Green Bean Cake, Master Xiao Qin hadn’t seen them; he just posted them directly to his social dia after writing.
This trick was actually invented by Xu Tuqiang. When Qin Huai was at Huang Ji, he had uncles and aunties write many food reviews. They got used to it. They saved up a bunch over the New Year to surprise Qin Huai after the holiday, but Qin Huai didn’t want them.
Following the principle of not wasting good material, Xu Tuqiang posted the reviews he wrote during the New Year on his social dia and got a like from Qin Huai.
This led to uncles and aunties who bought houses in Gusu following suit, wildly posting on social dia. Who didn’t accumulate 10 or 8 reviews of Four Happiness rice balls over the New Year? If you’ve got it, post it!
Wang Gen Sheng began to contemplate whether he’d recently written any truly eye-catching heartfelt reviews. He thought for a long ti but ca up empty because Qin Huai only ever liked without comnting.
Wang Gen Sheng took a bite of the crab roe noodles and continued pondering.
Could it be that soone recently put in a good word for him in front of Master Xiao Qin?
Probably not; among the people he knows, no one would be so kind-hearted. Everyone is too busy speaking well of themselves, so how could anyone have the leisure to sing his praises.
Wang Gen Sheng shook his head and kept eating the noodles.
These crab roe noodles are really delicious. The noodles are handmade by Master Xiao Qin, boiled and then cooled, making them more pliable and better at soaking up the sauce.
The crab yellow sauce, after a second stir-fry, is incredibly fragrant. That aroma released when the crab oil is sautéed is irresistible to anyone who loves crab roe products. Not to ntion Master Xiao Zheng slightly thickened it; the crab yellow sauce becos more viscous, richly seasoned, of high quality, with a rich taste without any fishy crab flavor.
"Slurp."
Wang Gen Sheng happily took another big bite, thinking he must have written too many food reviews lately, as he couldn’t help but start writing one in his mind whenever he ate.
Sigh, whatever the reason, he’s glad he hit the jackpot today!
Wang Gen Sheng joyfully took another bite of the crab roe noodles, completely unaware that Qin Huai had already walked up to him.
"Uncle Wang."
Qin Huai’s sudden address startled Wang Gen Sheng into a shiver, and he quickly put down his bowl to look at Qin Huai, just like a student suddenly called to answer a question in class.
"How do you find today’s crab roe noodles?"
Wang Gen Sheng: !
He knew it, his recent food reviews must have been well-written, full of genuine emotion, unlike those fake praises by Xu Tuqiang and the others, which is why Master Xiao Qin took notice and picked him to eat the crab roe noodles today!
"Delicious, absolutely delicious!"
"Just that the crab roe flavor is a bit too strong; it would be better if it were a bit subtler with more of other flavors."
