First, the handling of the shrimp was not ticulous as no one had deveined them, even though she was not accustod to it, she couldn’t afford the ti to fuss over it.
She cooked alone, as everyone had consciously left the kitchen, which made her sowhat uncomfortable.
But soon, she focused her attention on the ingredients. She took potatoes, green and red peppers, fresh shrimp, mixed them with hot oil, scallion, ginger, garlic, and made a dish of Spicy Shrimp, exciting enough to stimulate saliva secretion.
Spicy Shrimp was cooked on high heat, very quickly. After it was ready, she did not rush to serve it but instead set up a steaming pot for the shrimp.
Then she began to prepare the sauce, yes, this dish was even simpler, just stead and fried shrimp duo.
While steaming the shrimp, the water wasn’t boiling fast, so she took the opportunity to serve the Spicy Shrimp she had just prepared. The portion was generous, enough for five or six people to taste.
She couldn’t afford much small talk, and went back to the kitchen to finish the remaining two shrimp dishes.
When the fourth dish was served, she was surprised to find that the previous three dishes had been completely consud, not a single piece left.
As a chef, nothing was more delightful than seeing diners clear their plates, she was moved, but also did not forget her primary duties.
When the last dish unveiled its mystery, not only was the Shopkeeper stunned, but the others also looked at her, puzzled.
Weren’t they supposed to be shrimp dishes?
Where were the shrimp?
Xiao Yu didn’t explain; she just smiled and encouraged them to eat, "Don’t be shy, please try it."
In the white porcelain dish in front of them, there were white atballs resembling atballs, green vegetables, and slices of red sothing, they couldn’t tell what, but it looked quite simple; with red and green interspersed with white atballs, quite pretty indeed.
Talking about taste, when the dish was uncovered, they imdiately slled an aroma of fresh and light fragrance wafting towards them, and looking at the color of the broth, it was very appetizing. Although simple, due to the previous dishes, no one dared to overlook the texture of this dish.
Therefore, the Shopkeeper was the first to pick up a spoon, scooping up a white atball and putting it in his mouth.
He first bit into half, expecting shrimp inside, but the inside was the sa color as the outside, which puzzled him, but given the excellent performance of the previous dishes, he felt an inexplicable trust in her and chewed the entire atball in his mouth slowly.
He ate slowly, seemingly savoring the taste. About five or six minutes later, he finished the atball and then scooped up so soup to drink. After finishing the soup, he was about to put down his chopsticks when he suddenly saw the red unidentified object still lying on the plate, he picked up chopsticks, grabbed a slice, and put it in his mouth.
Oh, this taste... sour and sweet, quite unique. What exactly is it?
Others had similar thoughts, so when the Shopkeeper went to pick a second slice, he found there were none left, still wanting more; he could only pick up a piece of green vegetable to eat.
The others went even further, finishing every atball, green vegetable, and soup in the dish completely clean.
At the end, a young dishwasher, not caring for his image, burped loudly.
Seeing him covering his mouth embarrassedly, Xiao Yu smiled, "Has everyone eaten their fill?"
The boy was bold, nodding vigorously: "Delicious, really so delicious, I absolutely love the flavor of your cooking!"
The expressions of the others were sowhat ambiguous, especially that of the head chef, whose expression was complex, seeming hesitant and sowhat discontent.
"Master, you are a professional, do you like this flavor?"
