I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life - Chapter 225: Close the Door and Eat

Because he had to leave time to check out the restaurant's location, Xu Congyi finished cooking two pots half an hour before dinner time. Although it was still some time before dinner time, the whole kitchen was already filled with an irresistible and tempting aroma, which made people's appetites growl. Especially Tang Wenhao knew that Xu Congyi was going to cook food today, and he didn't eat anything in the morning, so Tang Wenhao stood aside, staring at the two gurgling pots, his stomach already growling with hunger.

"Huh? Why are there frogs croaking in my ears?" Xu Congyi pretended to be puzzled, but a sly smile hung on the corner of her mouth. She pulled the corner of Shen Xiao's clothes beside her and signaled him with her eyes to join in this little prank.

Shen Xiao naturally understood what he meant and immediately cooperated. "Yeah, I also heard something vaguely, but there is neither a pond nor a puddle in this kitchen, it's really strange, where on earth did the frog croaking come from?" The two of them sang in unison, their acting was so realistic that Tang Wenhao, who was standing by, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing this, Tang Wenhao was not angry. Instead, he deliberately stuck out his belly to respond, "I ate the frog!" For a moment, the kitchen was filled with laughter, and the air was filled with the atmosphere of friendship and food.

As the two delicious pots were cooked, the aroma in the kitchen reached its peak. The rich and tempting smell seemed to have penetrating power and quietly slipped out of the kitchen, covering the sweet fragrance of the pastries that originally drifted in the front hall. Tang Wenhao asked the servant to hang a sign on the door of the shop that said "Short break, please understand" and invited everyone to go to the kitchen at the back for lunch.

"Come on, everyone has worked hard, come and try Chef Xu's cooking!"

When the waiters and pastry chefs heard this, they all put down their work. The aroma had already attracted their souls. They followed Tang Wenhao to the kitchen. As soon as they entered the door, the aroma that filled their noses made them take a deep breath involuntarily, as if even breathing became unusually satisfying.

"Oh my, this taste is amazing!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.

Xu Congyi stood aside, watching everyone's excitement. She knew that she was not only cooking, but also sharing the joy and happiness brought by food with everyone in Tangji. At the same time, she also looked forward to hearing everyone's real feedback. After all, understanding the voice of diners is crucial for a chef.

"Everyone, please feel free. The portions we made today are quite large and everyone can eat their fill." Xu Congyi greeted them with a smile, "And I also want to hear your opinions on the dishes I made. Dishes need to be constantly improved and perfected."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sat around and began to taste this rare delicacy. For a moment, the kitchen was quiet and everyone was busy eating. Tang Wenhao felt that the taste this time was even better than the last time he ate at Shen's house, but he thought it was because he had missed it for too long.

"Sister, I haven't eaten your cooking for a month. It's so delicious. The last meal at Grandpa Shen's house was delicious enough. This time, I eat it again after such a long time. I just hate that I opened my mouth less!" He said as he picked up a piece of rice cake and gently put it into his mouth. The rice cake absorbed the essence of the soup in the pot and became extremely soft and glutinous, but at the same time it retained the right chewiness, allowing people to enjoy the smooth taste while also feeling a subtle elasticity. With one bite, the sweetness of the rice cake and the rich aroma of the pot burst out in the mouth instantly.

"This rice cake is so delicious! It's soft and chewy, and every bite is full of happiness."

"Yes, and it absorbs the aroma of the dish perfectly, making people unable to stop eating it."

"Miss Xu, your cooking skills are getting better and better! Such delicious food is really unforgettable!"

"Okay, okay, I feel embarrassed by all the praise. Do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in these two dishes?" Xu Congyi also sat down to eat with everyone. She also felt that the taste of the food she made this time was indeed the best yet, but she said that good was not enough, and the diners had to approve it.
