Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1206, 1195 Eavesdropping

Chapter 1206, Section 1195: Eavesdropping
The rich, savory aroma was indeed from that pot of old chicken soup.

Unfortunately, it only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

Master Jiao put the lid on the pot.

In that instant, two large spoonfuls of chicken broth were poured into the bowl, and the wontons, wrapped in seaweed and waving egg skins, swirled and rose and fell in the soup.

Two bowls of chicken soup wontons are now ready.

Chef Jiao carried the bowl to the food counter, where there was a row of small jars containing chopped green onions, cilantro, minced garlic, chili oil, vinegar, and the like, which customers could help themselves.

Small plates, bowls, chopsticks, and spoons were also provided.

As Xiang Boming picked up the spoon, he curiously leaned over and smelled it.

The aroma is fresh and enticing.

It turned out to be a pure chicken broth base.

Instead of a regular soup base, it's made by adding a little chicken broth for extra flavor.

There are now shops that dare to use pure chicken broth as the base for their wonton soup, and even use old hens that are over a year old to make the broth.

28 yuan a bowl is really not expensive.

Right? Little Fatty's 2,000 yuan 50% off card won't last long.

We can't let her spend any more money in the next round.

Two bowls of wontons definitely won't be enough to fill you up.

Xiang Boming added some chopped green onions to his own bowl and a handful of cilantro to Liang Yue's bowl.

Liang Yue is a cilantro fanatic.

The chubby girl placed two bowls of wontons on a tray, picked them up, and led the two to find a seat.

Although I mentioned in a private chat before that today is the opening day of Jiweilou, and it's in its soft opening phase.

But there seem to be quite a few people there.

The tables at the breakfast counter were all full.

They were dressed casually, not like tourists; they were probably local residents.

Everyone was engrossed in their food, no one was talking, and there were only occasional hissing sounds and long burps, creating a slightly eerie atmosphere.

There were many plates, bowls, and steamers on the table.

Do people from Tianhan have such large appetites?
Follow the chubby girl around to the other side of the small stage and find a square table for four.

The chubby girl put down the tray and said, "Please sit here. Enjoy your meal."

It looks quite convincing.

After settling Liang Yue and Xiang Boming in, the chubby girl specifically told them to come find her if they wanted to eat anything, as she had a 50% off discount card.

He ran away after saying that.

She's still at work and can't slack off for too long.

Liang Yue and Xiang Boming sat down, and coincidentally, the two elderly people and one young man they had "bumped into" at the next table were the same two people they had "bumped into" at the door.

They didn't need to exchange pleasantries with the chubby girl or put down their luggage; they started eating right away.

The old man who had been bumped by Liang Yue even smiled at them.

However, Liang Yue was so focused on the chicken soup wontons that she didn't notice.

She was already captivated by the chicken soup wontons, picked up the bowl, blew on it, and gulped down a big mouthful of soup.

Xiang Boming was startled. "Hot, hot!"

This girlfriend of mine, who's a bit dim-witted, is such a worry. I don't dare drink big gulps of freshly cooked wonton soup.

See? As soon as the soup entered her mouth, Liang Yue was burned. She looked up, opened her mouth, and sizzled, her tongue swirling around inside, like she was cooking.

I can't bear to spit out this soup.

It took me ages to swallow it.

As soon as it went down her throat, she turned to Xiang Boming, flashing him a big smile, "It's delicious~~"

70% sugar.

That laugh left Xiang Boming speechless.

That's what he did.

Although my girlfriend is a bit dim-witted.

Xiang Boming smiled helplessly and took out a tissue to wipe the fine beads of sweat from Liang Yue's forehead.

He gave me a word of advice: "Be careful, eat slowly."

Liang Yue nodded emphatically, picked up a spoon, scooped up half a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and sipped it.

Then, turning around, he offered a big smile and said, "It's delicious."

The same trick won't work on a Saint Seiya after being used twice!

Is Xiang Boming a Saint Seiya character? No.

So the same trick works very well.

Upgrade from 70% sugar to 80% sugar.

Xiang Boming looked at his wontons with a sweet smile.

The chicken soup base at Jiweilou is made with clear chicken broth, which is clear and transparent in color, without any floating impurities or broken pieces.

Only a few specks of oil floated on the surface.

The wontons are small, only the size of a thumb, floating in the soup like plump little fish.

The wonton wrappers are very thin, and you can see the pink meat filling inside through them.

The most amazing thing is that none of them were broken.

Xiang Boming asked himself, although he could be considered a chef, having cooked many dumplings and wontons at home since he was a child.

But these wontons have such thin skin.

If you let him cook, it will definitely turn into a pot of noodle and meatball soup.

That Master Jiao is really amazing, he's good in every way.

A god who is as lofty as a mountain to be revered.

Why would someone work as a breakfast cook at a restaurant in the small town of Tianhan?

With a question in mind, Xiang Boming scooped up a wonton, put it in his mouth, and gently bit it...
-
"Mmm~~" Xiang Boming couldn't help but let out a joyful moan.

The wonton filling is fresh and juicy, bursting with flavor in every bite. It's soft yet has a perfect elasticity, bouncy and chewy, and surprisingly, it even has a crunchy texture.

The aroma of pork, the fragrance of fat, the subtle scent of scallions, and the savory aroma of chicken broth blend together yet remain distinct, exploding in your mouth, rising into your nasal cavity, and exploring your esophagus.

The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

In short, it's delicious.

It's delicious!

But... wait a minute?

The delicious aroma of chicken soup?
I didn't drink any soup, I only ate wontons.

I was wondering about it.

Then she heard the old man at the next table, whom Liang Yue had bumped into, talking to his companion in an excited voice that grew louder and louder.

"The tendons in the wonton filling have been removed; these days, very few shops are willing to go to that much trouble..."

"The minced meat is definitely fresh meat that has never been frozen. It is 30% fat and 70% lean, but there is no fat at all."

"This must be made by first pounding it into a paste with the back of a knife, and then finely chopping it into a paste. A meat grinder can't make filling like this. What excellent knife skills!"

Xiang Boming couldn't help but turn his head to peek and saw that the next table was also eating chicken soup wontons.

What a coincidence...

But this old man has quite a good appetite.

Xiang Boming is at least a chef, yet he couldn't tell the difference between the filling he chopped and the filling made by a meat grinder.

After glancing at it only once, Xiang Boming looked away and then scooped up a wonton to savor.

That's when I noticed that there was indeed no tendon.

Meat tendons are those bits mixed in with minced meat that you can't bite through or tear apart, and they always end up in a clump. You can't swallow them or spit them out, and they often get stuck between your teeth and you can't get them out.

Removing tendons from the meat when chopping filling is such a laborious task.

Anyway, when Xiang Boming makes dumplings at home, he doesn't remove the meat tendons; it's too much trouble.

I was so busy enjoying the wontons.

Xiang Boming didn't listen much after that.

But he also has a pair of small ears.

Liang Yue peeked over and whispered, "What is water-based filling?"

"?" Xiang Boming gave him a questioning look.

Liang Yue secretly pointed to the next table, "That young man said he could only tell that the filling was made with water."

After saying that, she pouted and said, "I don't even know what water-based filling is."

She was heartbroken. Her boyfriend was a chef, but she knew nothing about him and only knew how to eat.

What if we run out of things to talk about?

Xiang Boming immediately perked up.
