Chapter 175: Dezhou Roasted Chicken, 68 per Serving
Jiang Shuyao was furious, and at the same time, very angry at herself.
Because she ate too much at noon, she went to the gym in the afternoon and stayed there for the entire afternoon. As a result, when she went to Man Ting Park to eat, she found out there were no seats available!
No seats can be waited for, but the problem was that it was just 8 PM, and the owner said all the ingredients were sold out. This made Jiang Shuyao unbearably sad.
When is it not a good time to exercise?
Why did she have to miss mealtime?
If you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to lose weight?
Then, smelling the scent of chicken, which was even richer than at noon, regretful tears kept streaming down from the corners of her mouth.
Early today, Jiang Shuyao came to Man Ting Park again, and she wasn't alone. Beside her were four people from Danggui Province, all foodies who had watched her livestream yesterday and came to see if the food was really that good.
"Yaoyao, now it's just us, be honest, was there some acting in your performance yesterday? Was that chicken really that delicious? Were you acting?"
Chen Guilin was very skeptical about Jiang Shuyao's expressions during yesterday's livestream. He thought she was definitely acting for the sake of the livestream effect.
Jiang Shuyao huffed, "Please, if I had that kind of acting skill, I would've gone to act in TV dramas long ago. Why would I still be doing livestreams to make a living?"
Chen Guilin was clearly dissatisfied, "But your expressions were really fake. Even if I ate Gudeng fried chicken, I wouldn't show an expression like that."
Jiang Shuyao replied, "That's because Gudeng fried chicken isn't as good as the yellow braised chicken I had! Ugh, let's not talk about it, you'll know once we try it. But seems like the owner makes something different each time, I wonder what we'll get to eat today."
"I'm not so interested in what we'll eat, I mainly want to see how handsome the owner is to make your face that red, hahaha."
The speaker was another girl with a very explosive figure, wearing a low-cut top that accentuated her figure.
For some reason, girls from Danggui Province indeed seem to have a natural advantage in this aspect.
While chatting, the group arrived at Wang Fan's restaurant.
At this moment, a faint aroma began to permeate the air.
"Sniff sniff... See, I told you, this aroma isn't as strong as you said. You must have been acting yesterday, Yaoyao."
Chen Guilin took a deep breath and found the aroma of both the spices and chicken quite mild, far less fragrant than what Jiang Shuyao had expressed yesterday.
He looked up at the restaurant's name and scoffed disdainfully, "Honor of Kings? Quite arrogant, huh?"
Jiang Shuyao, upon smelling the aroma, realized it wasn't as rich as yesterday's, and she was momentarily at a loss.
Could it be that today's dish is not the owner's specialty?
Oh?
With this thought, Jiang Shuyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
If this dish isn't the owner's specialty and it doesn't taste good, does that mean she can ask the owner to make yellow braised chicken rice?
The owner did say it personally!
That tender chicken thigh meat, the rich sauce-soaked rice, it was just not enough to eat only once, right?
"Come on, quick, if any of you don't find it tasty, be sure to say it loudly to the owner! Then we can ask the owner to make yellow braised chicken rice!"
Jiang Shuyao was very excited as she pulled them into Wang Fan's Honor of Kings restaurant.
Zhuo Qianqian was the first to greet them cheerfully, "Welcome!"
Wang Fan also looked up toward the entrance and recognized Jiang Shuyao, smiling, he said, "You're early today, but there's still a half hour wait, find a seat first."
"Phew…"
The two men and two women who entered suddenly blushed.
Jiang Shuyao and the other girl turned red upon seeing Wang Fan, while Chen Guilin and Huang Shu blushed after seeing Zhuo Qianqian.
The four carefully sat down at a table, and Chen Guilin couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Wow, are mainland girls all this beautiful now? I thought she was some big celebrity!"
Another girl, Chen Meiyuan, also patted her flushed face, "Wow, this owner is so handsome, no wonder Yaoyao's face was that red yesterday. He's too handsome! Eating with such a handsome guy, even if the food is bad, you'd eat it with relish!"
Zhuo Qianqian quietly leaned close to Wang Fan's ear and muttered, "Boss, those two girls keep sneaking glances at you, do you need me to get their phone numbers or WeChat? I think our store is missing a lady boss!"
Just kidding, how can the boss keep feeding enough? Having a lady boss means double the happiness!
If the boss were a bit of a playboy, it could be 23456 times the happiness!
Wang Fan pushed her head away, "Shoo, go chill somewhere, you'll be busy soon enough."
"Hmph!"
Zhuo Qianqian wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, but instead of resting, she squatted by the braised meat pot, listening to the sounds inside.
"Blub blub blub blub…"
As she listened, she also mimicked the sound with her mouth, looking very much like a silly younger sister from next door.
However, the more she imitated, the quieter the sound became, until it faded into soft snores.
Having taken a flight all night and rushing to the staff meal early in the morning, even the strongest willpower can't hold up.
Wang Fan shook his head helplessly and, after unsuccessfully trying to wake her with two pats, reluctantly carried her to a chair by the counter and covered her with a thin blanket.
What a situation, hiring an employee and still having to serve her as the boss!
He lifted the lid of the braised meat pot, checked the chicken inside, and then quietly asked Jiang Shuyao and friends, "Hello, the Dezhou Roasted Chicken is ready, 68 each, how many would you like?"
These people had arrived pretty early, he hadn't even had time to change the prices on the sign, so he simply told them directly.
"Dezhou Roasted Chicken?"
Chen Guilin looked puzzled, "I always thought Dezhou was only about poker, didn't expect there's roasted chicken too? And isn't 68 for one a little expensive?"
Jiang Shuyao shook her head, "You didn't see the owner selling stir-fried chicken yesterday, that was 300 each and sold out. I didn't even get to taste it, so today's price is already cheap."
Then she turned to Wang Fan and said, "Boss, we'll get one to try first, and if anyone finds it not tasty, can we ask you to make yellow braised chicken rice?"
Jiang Shuyao was eagerly expecting Wang Fan to agree, because she's had Dezhou Roasted Chicken before, and it was super salty, not tasty at all!
Although people also love beauty, but just to eat delicious yellow braised chicken rice, she had to say "NO" to the owner's looks!
Wang Fan smiled and said, "No problem, if you guys find it not tasty, it's on the house."
He opened the fridge, took out a round lettuce, twisted off a big chunk from its base, removed a few outer leaves, selected the fresher and crisper inner leaves, washed and dried them, then placed them at the bottom of the plate.
He fished out a roasted chicken, placed it on the lettuce leaves, and served it to them.
