Chapter 1505 - 1508: Exquisite Flavor Like a Spring Breeze
Chapter 1505 - 1508: Exquisite Flavor Like a Spring Breeze
The crowd watched expectantly at the eight pieces of Fried Pork Belly on the grill, the entire restaurant silent. Clearly, with at least fifty or sixty people, including diners and staff, in the restaurant, the eight pieces weren't enough.Meanwhile, Shen Qiang, who had already turned off the heat, glanced over the kitchen, then smiled naturally. He placed lettuce leaves on a plate, arranging two pieces of pork belly on it, to the astonishment of everyone watching.
They watched in surprise as Shen Qiang calmly gathered several ingredients from the kitchen and swiftly chopped them into fine pieces. Unlike Yu Kang, the head chef, Shen Qiang prepared a sauce on the nearby stove.
Shen Qiang deftly poured the sauce evenly over the fried pork belly, then casually sprinkled the finely chopped yellow-green bits over it.
Bang!
The already exquisite meat aroma softened instantly with the addition of these bits.
Gulp!
Despite the aroma not being as intense, it still made everyone present swallow hard. Even Chef Yu Kang, as a cook, felt as if a hand was reaching out from his throat, trying to grab the fried pork.
As all the beautiful female diners gulped down their saliva.
Shen Qiang placed a dish, which held two pieces of pork belly, in front of Wenren Meiqiao.
Her beautiful eyes lit up with delight; her delicate face flushed with a rosy tint, and she became even more charming. Her cherry lips, tender as Snow Mountain plum petals, curled into a smile that lacked Leng Yi's bold aura, instead exuding girlish coquettishness, astonishingly beautiful.
Then, Shen Qiang handed another dish with just one piece of fried pork belly to Wenren Meiqiao's female subordinate.
With only five pieces of fried pork belly left.
The many beautiful women present stared intensely at Shen Qiang with eager anticipation, swallowing hard.
A very confident beauty, her voice slightly trembling, said, "Since it's a competition, there must be judges. I've eaten this restaurant's Fried Pork Belly before, I remember the taste, I can judge it, can I taste this Fried Pork Belly?"
"I've eaten it too!"
"I guarantee I'll be fair and objective!"
With someone taking the lead, the crowd of beautiful female diners erupted, and the once harmonious atmosphere turned instantly tense.
"Ha, do you think you're qualified? I'm a regular here, and I'm very familiar with Chef Yu Kang's Fried Pork Belly taste."
"Why wouldn't I be? I'm a gourmet, I've tasted countless delicacies."
"Tch, critiquing requires skill, which I have, my food reviews have been included in a gourmet column."
Watching the beautiful women, unconcerned with decorum, competing to be judges, Shen Qiang smiled.
Meanwhile, the young head chef Yu Kang had a faintly angry look, because this was his restaurant. He designed the decor, the culinary skills, everything, all for Wenren Meiqiao. But now, seeing the smiling, bashfully blushing Wenren Meiqiao after receiving the Fried Pork Belly, not immediately gobbling it as usual, but shyly smiling, stealing glances at Shen Qiang.
This infuriated him!
"Smells good, but eating it might not be the same, just like durian and stinky tofu, they smell bad but taste good, so Shen Qiang, there's no need to smile, the result is still uncertain!"
Yu Kang's words left the many beautiful women present stunned, feeling there was some truth in it, and Yu Kang's die-hard fans felt emboldened again.
"That's right, smelling good doesn't mean it will taste the same, Chef Yu Kang's Fried Pork Belly is the best; it's even featured in the Michelin Guide's top dishes, so this guy can't beat him."
"Yes, our Chef Yu Kang is the best, so kid, although you're handsome, I still think you've met your end today!"
"Alright, although I don't know who you are, no one in this world can beat Chef Yu Kang, and you're no exception."
With their support, Chef Yu Kang seemed to regain his confidence. Looking coldly at Shen Qiang, he said, "I must admit, your cooking skills are alright, passable, but defeating me, you cannot, because I know you're just an unknown figure who's never made it to the Michelin Guide."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, slightly raising an eyebrow, speaking in an unusually calm tone, "This world has many unknowns, possessing talents beyond renowned masters, so you might as well prepare to be an assistant at my restaurant for three years, because those great chefs will teach you what true culinary arts are, what it means there's always someone better."
Yu Kang was surprised.
A flash of the knife in Shen Qiang's hand.
In an instant, the four pieces of Fried Pork Belly were evenly sliced into pieces, and then Shen Qiang naturally took dozens of small plates from the side, placing one piece on each plate, and then smilingly distributed them among everyone present.
"Everyone gets a piece, please enjoy!"
Hearing Shen Qiang's words, the many beautiful female customers immediately moved to taste the aromatic pork belly.
In an instant, a long-haired beauty standing closest to the kitchen at the bar let out a gasp of intoxicated delight. Her delicate face instantly flushed with a blush, staring at Shen Qiang as if looking at an idol.
"Oh~, my heavens! How can there be such wonderful Fried Pork Belly in this world! The rich, intense aroma enveloped by the fresh sauce, enticing and gentle, with a light chew, the ultimate flavor explodes instantly on the palate, every taste bud excited, as if the whole self is freed from all constraints, running freely in a river of deliciousness!"
"Warm, supple, richly fragrant, like a spring breeze, cleansing every part of the body, the whole person running like a girl in the sunshine!"
Beside her, a slender woman blushed as soon as the Fried Pork Belly entered her mouth.
"I haven't eaten meat for a long time because I want to maintain my figure, and I inherently like light dishes, never enjoying greasy fried foods — I simply can't eat them, but this alluring yet vibrant flavor, I can't resist at all, willingly succumbing to this wonderful taste."
At the same time, a long-haired beauty with light blue eyeshadow, wearing a red dress that highlighted her figure, gazed intently at Shen Qiang, unconsciously clamping her slim and graceful legs.
"I felt so bad when I went out today, having to deal with those old folks for over three hours last night, yet feeling nothing at all. I thought I was old and hopeless, but when I tasted this wonderful Fried Pork Belly, suddenly, I felt the frozen emotions thawing in the spring wind, streams merging into rivers and the sea…"
