Zhuo Qianqian and her group didn’t arrive too late.
She didn’t use her almost-boss lady privilege, just queued up honestly in line.
Professor Liu, on the other hand, was assigned by her to go to the private room first.
Professor Liu was very satisfied with this arrangent.
Zhuo Qianqian carried two trays, each with a plate of crispy roast pork, and a bowl of steaming white rice.
On the rice was a golden fried egg and two boiled vegetables.
It looked very healthy and nutritious.
But as a northerner, Professor Liu frowned a bit at those white pieces of at.
In her impression, such things should be a reddish color to taste good, is the whiteness because they’re too stingy with soy sauce?
Jiang Chenchen and the other two had no intention of eating there, feeling too intimidated to eat in front of Professor Liu.
Only that fearless bandit could handle it with ease!
Zhuo Qianqian smiled and said, "Teacher, try it, my boyfriend made this."
"Hmm?"
Professor Liu’s brow furrowed involuntarily.
"So young and already finding a boyfriend? That will only hinder your studies."
But Zhuo Qianqian disagreed, "If you et the right person, you should seize the opportunity, or you will regret it later. Besides, I haven’t neglected my studies; I’ve almost self-studied all my sophomore courses. If it weren’t for the other credits I need, I would have already taken my junior year courses. Go ahead and taste it; the boss says it gets hard and tough when it cools down."
Professor Liu shook her head but said nothing more; when it ca to studies, she couldn’t argue with this little girl.
Since you hold his cooking in such high esteem, I better show my true skills to temper your enthusiasm!
Professor Liu leisurely adjusted herself, switching to a more comfortable posture.
"I forgot to tell you, I used to work part-ti as a Michelin reviewer, so prepare yourself ntally—don’t bla later if my words aren’t nice."
"Huh? Professor Liu, you have that kind of experience?"
Zhuo Qianqian was a bit surprised.
Professor Liu snorted, "Your little foodie tendencies are far from mine. When I was young, I studied in France and had three years of reviewer experience."
Zhuo Qianqian exclaid, "Wow, then you must have eaten lots of delicious food! Please point out any shortcomings; I will tell the boss everything. He’s been wanting soone to help critique and point out what’s lacking."
Professor Liu chuckled, "I’m just worried that listening to the critique might break his defense."
"No worries, I’ll just patch up his wounds with a band-aid, hehehe."
Professor Liu picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of crispy roast pork, "Firstly, the plating is not up to standard. Such simple plating impacts the diner’s mood, making it look cheap."
She sniffed it but didn’t detect any special sll. As a professional, she wouldn’t nitpick unnecessarily; she had plenty of other areas to critique.
This roast pork looks crispy and delicious; one might expect it to be quite tough when actually eating it.
She opened her mouth, pushed the at in, and lightly bit down with her teeth.
(￣～￣) Chew!
"Crunch..."
The crisp sound imdiately rang out, and then Professor Liu widened her eyes in disbelief.
Impossible!
This... this crispy texture, how is it possible?!
Pork skin that’s roasted for a long ti should beco very hard, shouldn’t it?
Unconvinced, Professor Liu continued to chew. It was crispy, fragrant, tender, and juicy without any toughness.
"What... what exactly did this pork skin go through to beco so crispy?"
"The crispy skin is followed by soft fat that, with a light bite, releases a rich juice with a hint of seafood flavor. Such fatty at doesn’t feel greasy at all."
"Lastly, the lean at is flavorful and aromatic. How could a piece of pork have three layers of texture? This..."
The more Professor Liu spoke, the more she didn’t know what to say.
However, the more Zhuo Qianqian listened, the more sothing felt off.
"Professor Liu, weren’t you going to point out the flaws? Except for what you initially said about the plating, I feel like everything else sounds like praise. But you are indeed professional, you can describe it so well; I only know to say it’s delicious. You’ll have to teach properly in the future."
Professor Liu was sowhat amused.
I honestly didn’t intend to praise him!
But I really can’t find any problem with this piece of at; if he put more effort into the plating, I might even be willing to give it a star!
No, I have to taste it again; maybe only this piece was special?
Picking up another piece, Professor Liu carefully observed it.
The golden crispy skin, alternating layers of fat and lean at creating a perfect contrast with the crispy skin and tender at.
Even the crystal-like fat looked kind of cute.
(￣～￣) Chew!
"Crunch..."
The sa texture, the sa crisp sound, chewing continually felt like a symphony of flavors playing beside her ears!
The crunchy pork skin crumbled with one bite, the fat part lted directly in the mouth, releasing a rich at aroma.
The lean at maintained a tender and smooth texture, making the phrase "endlessly intriguing" entirely accurate.
The secret spices and sauces penetrated deeply into the at, adding layers and richness to the flavor. Each bite felt like a flavor adventure, intoxicating with the perfect blend of aroma and seasoning.
The bit of white sugar to dip, combined with the salty flavor of the marinade, provided an incredible taste that even she couldn’t find enough adjectives for!
"Professor Liu? Could you tell us any shortcomings? The boss really wants to hear them."
(￣～￣) Chew!
"Can you just tell us?"
(￣～￣) Chew!
...
Zhuo Qianqian was speechless, how co you’re just sitting there like Maitreya Buddha chewing, how about saying sothing?
After swallowing the at in her mouth, Professor Liu complained to Zhuo Qianqian, "Qianqian, do you know it’s quite impolite to disturb soone while they’re enjoying a al?"
"Huh?"
This doesn’t make sense, Professor Liu, your reaction isn’t right!
Weren’t you the one who said you’d find faults? How co it’s disturbing you while enjoying a al now?
Professor Liu snorted and said, "Please keep quiet for the rest of the ti; I want to enjoy the fun brought by the food peacefully."
???
Professor Liu’s response left Zhuo Qianqian with a head full of question marks. Ultimately, she could only shrug helplessly and start eating her own plate of crispy roast pork.
Hmm, it’s really delicious!
The boss’s creations are indeed unbeatable.
A double thumbs up, no fear of him getting bigheaded! b（￣▽￣）d!
anwhile, outside in the hall, it was even more ridiculous, with "crunch, crunch" sounds everywhere.
"My goodness, this must be the true appearance of crispy roast at!"
"Compared to this, the stuff on the streets can only be called roasted tire or roasted Luffy!"
"Crunch, crunch... I always thought Guangfu people had a mild taste, turns out I’ve never had authentic Guangfu cuisine, the flavor of this at is too delicious."
"Plus the price is quite reasonable, I’d guess it’s only at our school that you can find it, outside, the roasted Luffy is 30 bucks for half, gone after just a few bites."
"Refreshing, this is more exciting than pan-fried buns and potstickers."
