After Jiang Chao and Xu Hao finished cleaning up the kitchen...
they took advantage of the free ti to carry a takeout box and went ho.
There’s no other choice!
There’s still a seventy-sothing grandpa at ho eagerly waiting to be fed!
Originally, Grandpa planned to go to the Delicious Restaurant this morning with his grandson, to see his work environnt and have breakfast there.
But Jiang Chao disagreed!
He was mainly worried that the cold morning weather would be too much for Grandpa’s body to handle!
After all, before leaving, his parents had repeatedly instructed him to take good care of Grandpa.
If Grandpa caught a cold...
Not only would he have to face his parents’ scoldings, but he’d also risk having to take ti off work to care for Grandpa at ho.
Taking ti off? Not possible in this lifeti.
Except at Delicious Restaurant!
To completely eliminate this risk, he outright rejected Grandpa’s suggestion.
Jiang Shouyi knew his grandson was also thinking of his health, and since his grandson promised to bring breakfast from the restaurant, he could only agree.
Sitting and waiting for his grandson to feed him!
"Grandpa, I’ve brought you breakfast..."
As soon as the door opened, he greeted with a smile and waved the food bag at Grandpa, who was watching TV on the living room sofa.
Jiang Shouyi smiled kindly: "I was just talking about you! I didn’t expect you’d be back so soon. It really proves the saying ’speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives!’"
After speaking, he reached for his cane, wanting to move to the dining area.
Seeing this, Jiang Chao, who was changing his shoes, quickly said, "Grandpa, don’t move. Just sit there, I’ll bring it to you, you can eat in the living room."
After saying this, he carried the food bag over.
Placed it on the coffee table.
"Grandpa, let tell you, our restaurant has a new product today, your favorite sesa tangyuan. I brought you so."
As he opened the food bag, he said, "This tastes even better than the tangyuan Grandma used to make."
Upon hearing sesa tangyuan, Jiang Shouyi was taken aback.
Since his wife passed away, he hadn’t tasted satisfactory sesa tangyuan for a long ti.
The chefs at their own hotel were replaced again and again.
Every ti a new chef ca, he would have them make sesa tangyuan.
But the taste never matched his wife’s.
Now hearing his grandson say that his boss’s sesa tangyuan were even better, he was skeptical.
He thought it impossible, but didn’t think his grandson would just say things.
His love for sesa tangyuan surpassed his own by far.
Seeing Grandpa’s disbelief, Jiang Chao didn’t explain much, only laughed, saying, "You’ll know once you try."
"Alright!"
Once Jiang Shouyi had wiped his hands with a wet towel, Jiang Chao had already taken the takeout box out of the bag, thoughtfully opening the lid and moving the coffee table closer to him, so he could reach it easily.
Slling the fragrance of the pan-fried buns, Jiang Shouyi unconsciously swallowed.
But he didn’t forget to ask his grandson, "Chao, have you eaten?"
"I ate at the restaurant. You go ahead and have a pan-fried bun first, let the tangyuan cool a bit."
Jiang Chao picked up a pork and shrimp-filled pan-fried bun and handed it to Grandpa.
Since he’d eaten, Jiang Shouyi didn’t insist on having him eat more.
He took the bun, looked at it.
The pan-fried bun was golden brown and crispy.
Sprinkled with sesa seeds and scallions on top.
Slled delicious.
"This pan-fried bun looks good, and it slls good!"
He took a bite.
The savory juice stread out from the thin skin.
In the mouth, there was also the fragrance of sesa and scallion, and a slight hint of sweetness alongside the freshness.
Chewing revealed succulent, bouncy shrimp and flavorful at filling, with tender, dense wrapper and crispy, aromatic bottom.
In conclusion.
The aroma of at, oil, scallion, sesa, and shrimp filled his mouth, lingering.
Swallowing, Jiang Shouyi praised, "This shrimp and pork pan-fried bun is delicious, even better than our hotel’s! The cooking is just right, not dry inside and you can taste the juice, the flavor is on point!"
"Of course, everyone who’s tasted my boss’s pan-fried buns says they are good." Jiang Chao’s pride was evident.
Jiang Shouyi didn’t argue, just smiled kindly.
After all, in his heart, he thought so too.
Now he finally understood why his grandson, after just one al from Boss Huang, wanted to beco his apprentice.
With such skills.
If he were forty years younger, he would do the sa.
Then he picked up the bowl of sesa tangyuan, carefully examining them. The tangyuan were as smooth and white as mutton fat, with the black sesa filling faintly visible.
He gently stirred, scooped a spoonful, and blew softly on it twice.
Putting it in his mouth, he tasted it and sighed contentedly.
Both surprised and delighted.
He still rembered how good his wife’s sesa tangyuan were, as did his son.
In Jiang City, whether at their own hotel or another, they’d always order sesa tangyuan, but none tasted as good as his wife’s.
So when Jiang Chao said his boss’s tangyuan were better than his grandmother’s, he was skeptical.
But now tasting it.
It was indeed amazing!
The flowing black sesa filling burst with rich oiliness and sweetness, spraying into his mouth.
Quickly occupying his taste buds.
The soft, smooth texture of the tangyuan danced on his tongue.
Deliciously sleek, sweet, with strong sesa flavor, uniquely tasty in the mouth.
Swallowing the fragrant sweetness alongside the pale rice-flour soup, hot and comforting, his mind settled.
Now that he tasted the long-missed sesa tangyuan, Jiang Shouyi was very satisfied!
He honestly remarked, "Didn’t expect this sesa tangyuan to be so good! Compared to your grandma’s, it’s indeed better!"
Jiang Chao knew his grandpa was now completely convinced by Boss Huang’s culinary skills!
He smiled, "Grandpa, if you like it, I’ll buy you more tomorrow!"
"Alright!"
Jiang Shouyi continued to enjoy the delicious sesa tangyuan, one bite after another.
Just then.
His WeChat video call rang.
It was a group video invitation from his son.
Answering it.
Jiang Mingtao’s long face appeared on the screen. Seeing his dad holding a takeout box and spoon, he remarked in surprise, "Oh, Dad, are you just having breakfast? Sesa tangyuan, no less?!"
After swallowing the tangyuan in his mouth, Jiang Shouyi said, "Yes, Chao brought it from his restaurant. I have to tell you, this sesa tangyuan tastes very good, even better than your mom’s."
"Is that so!"
If soone else had said this, Jiang Mingtao wouldn’t have believed it.
But since it ca from his father, he chose to believe it.
Just...
How good must these sesa tangyuan be for Grandpa to give them such high praise!
Before he could say more, Chen Hongxia laughed and greeted, "Dad, are you comfortable staying with Chao?"
"Comfortable, very comfortable."
Jiang Shouyi laughed contently, "I’m doing very well here, sleeping and eating well."
Chen Hongxia considered and said, "Dad, when are you planning to co back? I’ll pick you up then."
"Co back?"
Jiang Shouyi shook his head repeatedly, "I don’t plan to return for now. I’m thinking of staying here with Chao, I’ll go back when he goes back."
Chen Hongxia: ?!?!
Jiang Mingtao: ?!?!
Jiang Chao: "..."
Uh-uh!
Grandpa has really taken a liking to staying with him...
He strongly suspected Grandpa wanted to stay just to continue eating Boss Huang’s delicious food...
