Chapter 83: “Fresh! Warm!”
Mother Rong reminded him, “Chives and pork. It’s most fragrant when fried. The glutinous rice chicken is delicious and can fill one’s stomach as well. However, it’s not as easy to digest glutinous rice chicken. You should eat less. It’s better to get fried dumplings.”
The old man didn’t mind. He was just here to try something different. He said, “Then give me a portion of fried dumplings. I want this chili sauce. I like spicy food the most.”
As there was congee, Mother Rong did not say anything. She nodded and started cooking.
On the other side, the burly man shouted, “Fresh! Warm!”
Everyone didn’t have enough eyes to see what was happening. When they looked back, they realized that the burly man had already eaten more than half of the congee. The wooden bowl was nearly empty!
Everyone widened their eyes. This was too much. The congee was so hot. Everyone had seen that shortly after Mother Rong had scooped out the congee from the pot in front of her, it was still boiling when it was placed in the wooden bowl!
Was this man scalded?!
The burly man had just finished chewing a piece of pig liver and swallowed it. He knew that everyone was looking at him, so he took the initiative to say, “The congee is very smooth! It looks like you don’t need to chew for it to slide down. How did you cook this with the added ingredients? I clearly saw that the porridge was cooked in another big pot. The other ingredients had just been added to cook for a while, but the taste is already so strong? The entire bowl of porridge smells like pig liver and meat!”
“But it’s not fishy at all! I just feel that the taste is excellent. It’s light but not tasteless. This pig liver is cooked just right. It’s tender, pink, and rich in flavor. The minced meat is very fresh! I don’t understand. When the ingredients are eaten, there’s actually a fresh sweetness! It’s really the sweetness of meat! I’m convinced. The fire is just right.”
“And it’s especially hot!” The burly man tugged at his thin rough clothes and shouted, “It’s really amazing. After drinking this bowl, my entire body feels warm. How good would it be for a person working at the docks to drink this porridge? I don’t feel cold at all.”
The burly man looked at everyone and drank the rest of the porridge. He wiped his mouth and said, “I’m full.”
“You guys aren’t lying. I ate this bowl of porridge and this glutinous rice chicken, and I’m full. This glutinous rice chicken is very filling. The porridge is also made from white rice. This bowl looks like porridge, but it’s actually very filling! I’m full now. In the past, I could eat seven or eight pancakes at once!”
The burly man touched his stomach and felt that his meal was completely worth it. He was a fighter in the casino, so he usually ate and drank quite a lot. He often ordered two side dishes and a bowl of white rice with the other fighters. The cost was not little.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with this meal.
The burly man sucked in his mucus which was produced as the congee was too hot. He was about to get up and go to the casino to work when he turned around. The surrounding people standing at the front all looked at him in unison and drooled.
The man was speechless. “…” There was no need for this.
Everyone: “…” Listening to his vivid words, they thought that he wasn’t a fighter in the casino but a storyteller in a restaurant. He was too good at talking!
The burly man looked at everyone and then remembered that there were a bunch of women beside him. He immediately cupped his hands and said, “Goodbye.” Then, he turned around and left.
He was so fast that the other women were stunned for a moment before remembering. They shouted, “Hey! We’re not done. Don’t run!”
“A casino, right? There are only a few casinos in Yuan City. Let’s take a look at the fighters later…”
The women exchanged suggestions.
