“Eh? Why don’t I see any chicken wings?”

After they stuffed the spices and chicken feet into the chicken, Alex ca over excitedly and asked curiously.

Xu Le explained, “The chicken wings are all removed and cooked. I made cola chicken wings yesterday and I’m making jade hairpin chicken wing ball today.”

“Hmph.” Alex crossed his arms and said in a sarcastic tone, “Then you’re lying to the consurs. They bought a chicken and went back, only to find that it had no wings and was missing at…”

“We’ll label the missing chicken wings on the nu. The price will be much lower than the price of the entire chicken. Also, the restaurant doesn’t provide the service of takeaways.”

Xu Le retorted.

Alex continued to rebut, “You don’t provide takeaway services? Your Chinese restaurant is so arrogant. Are you trying to promote wastage through the caras?”

“Tm afraid that they will take them out and sell them. Many dishes can’t be eaten overnight, and they can’t be eaten when cold. It’ll either affect the taste or cause diarrhea in the hot weather. If that happens, the restaurant will be held accountable. It’s not worth it.”

‘As Xu Le spoke, he adjusted the chicken drumstick in front of the cara. Zhang Liang said, “Are you doing this to prevent the spices from falling out?”

“That’s right.”

After stewing the soup for a while, the spices inside were all released. It looked bright red and brown, making one’s appetite increase greatly.

Zhou Huangya teased, “With half a pot of spices, it would taste good even if it’s stewed with the sole of a shoe.”

Xu Le joked, “Haha, then do you want to stew one for you?”

“If you directly put the chicken inside, won’t it be filled with pepper seeds later and be especially hard to pick them out?”

“Yes, I did consider that.”

‘As Xu Le spoke, he took out a huge bamboo sieve that had been washed clean and placed it into the soup pot. This way, all the spices were pressed down and red oil erged.

He carefully placed the chicken into the soup pot and stewed it.

He closed the lid.

‘The air was filled with the fragrance of at and the spicy fragrance of various spices complented each other. The guests who were helping out could not help but start to swallow their saliva.

Looking at the chicken stew in the pot, Zhou Huangya urged, “When will the sauce chicken be ready? It’s been so long.”

“You can taste it now.”

Xu Le was eager to give it a try. Just from the stewing process, he was already confident.

The taste was absolutely superb!

He opened the lid and fished out a chicken. Zhang Liang gave everyone a few pairs of disposable gloves as the steam dissipated.

All they saw was a chicken lying on the plate.

The skin was glossy and soft, and the juice underneath was golden.

Just by looking at it, one would feel extrely hungry.

“You need to tear the chicken with your hands.”

Xu Le reached out to pull a chicken drumstick. The chicken skin was soft and smooth. He pulled it apart and the chicken at inside was tight and clear.

“Thank you.”

Zhou Huangya took it and took a big bite with a satisfied expression.

Zhang Liang tore off a piece of chicken breast at and placed it in his mouth. After chewing it twice, he imdiately gave a thumbs up and said, “The chicken breast at is usually very dry. Furthermore, the chicken breast at is the driest part of the chicken. I didn’t expect it to be especially tender. It’s

not dry at all.”

He was already used to losing out to the cooking skills of this eight-year-old child in front of him. He was full of admiration and emotion.

“Is the key point the oil in the sauce?”

Bai Xiaoming asked, “The braised sauce is fragrant and the red oil is heavy, but it’s not greasy at all. The chicken at is just right. It doesn’t scatter, and the oil is fragrant. It definitely has sothing to do with the oil, right?”

“You’re an expert.”

Xu Le nodded and explained, “That’s right. The spices that have been fried will seep oil into the pot after being stewed. After steaming then stewing it, it will taste the most flavorful.”

The system had given him the most traditional recipe, and Xu Le’s culinary skills had improved so much that he was able to accurately control the spices. Without a doubt, he had restored the most traditional sauce chicken flavor.

Zhang Liang finished a drumstick as though he had not had enough. He nodded and said, “That’s amazing! With this taste, I feel like we’ve prepared too few chickens today. It’s definitely not enough to sell.”

“Sigh.” After eating, Zhou Huangya suddenly sighed and said, “When I think about how tomorrow is the last day of your stay here, I really can’t bear to part with you.”

Bai Xiaoming exposed her rcilessly. “I think you can’t bear to part with his cooking right?”

“What else? I definitely can’t bear to part with him, and even more so because of his cooking skills. Once he leaves, the shop will definitely be the sa as before. It will be difficult to even reach the designated profit margin.”

Zhang Liang looked at the big pot of braised food and said, “The production process is so troubleso. Isn’t it too wasteful to pour it out after using it

“There’s no need to pour it.” Xu Le said, “After cooking today, you can put it in the fridge and braise for three more tis. The thod is the sa as what I demonstrated just now.”

“Alright!”

The few of them quickly finished one of the sauce chicken. The at was fresh and tender, and as soon as they bit into it, oil would flow out. The more they ate, the more addicted they beca to the authentic taste of the braised food. When they finished eating the chicken, they were about 40 to 50

percent full. However, they still stared at the pot, craving for more.

Xu Le said, “There will be Sesa Oil Chicken and Chicken Wing Ball later. Everyone, don’t be anxious. Steam so rice first. Are there any pickled vegetables?”

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s the radish and garlic that I marinated previously.” Zhang Liang said, “I’l take so out for you to taste later.”

“Okay.”

The clock was pointing to ten. The Chinese restaurant was about to open. Just as it had been the day before, before it was open, there was a long line outside.

It was even more exaggerated that day. There were even people who ca over to queue at dawn and were the first to rush in.

He shouted, “I want to eat sweet and sour fish, crispy yam duck, and a serving of carp soup.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Huangya put on an apron and took the nu to collect the money. She said, “Please take a seat first. We have three new dishes today. They are Sauce Chicken, Sesa Oil Chicken and…”

“Idon’t care, I just want what that little Master Chef made.”

“Ah.” Zhou Huangya was stunned for a mont before saying, “Yes, yes. These three dishes are all made by them.”

The custor’s eyes imdiately lit up and said, “As long as it’s his cooking, serve it all to !”

“But you’re here alone.” Zhou Huangya patiently persuaded. “How about this, I’ll serve these few dishes first. If you can still eat later, I’ll serve the other dishes.”

Before she could finish speaking, a custor beside her was clamoring for Xu Le’s dishes. “Are you done? Why isn’t it my turn yet? I want to eat that Buddha’s Roll. Two servings of that please.”

Outside, people were shouting Xu Le’s na in a ss. Alex was not convinced by his ability. Although they had given him gloves when they were eating the sauce chicken, he would rather die than submit.

However, he didn’t believe in Xu Le’s ability and continued to rebuke, “I’m not saying this, but aren’t you guys acting too much?”

“With that reaction just now, who would believe that you are celebrities?”

“Tsk, tsk.” Alex said sarcastically, “Did they hire an actor outside? Why don’t I see any Thais coming over to eat?”

He was tirelessly trying to provoke Xu Le, who had a dazed expression on his face..
