“What’s the matter Manager, doesn’t it smell good?” The young men who followed behind him with the women asked.
“It’s not that it’s bad, but… it’s exactly the same as the smell of rice that I can’t forget.” The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man spoke with a shocked expression on his face.
He didn’t want to admit this fact as he was belittling Su Jing’s cooking skills just moments ago, bragging about some other folk expert.
Now, if he says and accepts the fact that Su Jing’s food smells exactly the same as that folk expert’s then wouldn’t it be the same as slapping himself in the face? However, he couldn’t deny it as it went against his conscience.
“Exactly the same? In other words, Su Jing’s cooking skills are the same as that common folk master?” The young man asked.
“Wait, Manager, your home is near Zhongyun High School. I remember that Su Jing’s parents are teachers at Zhongyun High School and live in Dacheng Left Bank Community. Su Jing may have gone there to cook for his parents. Manager, the smell of rice that you smelled that day, could it be him who did it?” The young woman who had also followed after her Manager spoke after thinking of something.
“How is that possible? The left bank of the Dacheng area is more than a kilometer away from my home.” The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man spoke with a shocked expression on his face.
While they were talking, Su Jing finished the last dish, and the timing was just right as the rice had just been cooked.
The waiters in the restaurant helped to serve the food. They couldn’t help but swallow the saliva in their mouths when they smelled the aroma of the food they were serving but they have to be professionals.
They could only smell it but not eat it and this is one of the most uncomfortable situations they were faced with.
At the same time, they were also surprised to find that there were silver threads on the rice, which looked as crystal clear as jade and looked pink and tender.
Tian Zhongyi couldn’t wait anymore and he took a mouthful of rice before his eyes widened, he took some time to enjoy the rice in his mouth before he spoke with a surprised expression on his face: “It’s delicious, My God, this rice is so delicious, I can eat three bowls of rice without adding anything in it.”
“It’s so delicious, Third Brother, your Lantian Silver Thread Rice is amazing.” Xiao Rui also marveled as he ate the rice.
What shocked Tian Zhongyi and Xiao Rui, even more, was that after taking two more bites, they felt a wave of heat spreading from their lower abdomen, and their whole body was filled with a warm feeling and they felt as if they were filled with strength.
This feeling was really comfortable.
“I feel warm and comfortable all over my body. Is this an illusion?” Tian Zhongyi asked in surprise.
“I also have this feeling.” Xiao Rui said.
“This kind of rice is very good for the body, it is even better than Ginseng,” Su Jing smiled as he spoke.
“What?” Tian Zhongyi, Xiao Rui, as well as the onlookers were shocked when they heard Su Jing and their eyes widened in disbelief.
The Onlookers were already close to drooling by smelling the aroma and watching them eat such a delicious-looking meal. However, they felt that it was too much for Su Jing to say that the nutritional value of mere rice exceeds that of Ginseng.
“Mr. Su, let’s talk about the details after we eat.” Tian Zhongyi is feeling incomparably excited inside. He is familiar with Su Jing’s character so he knew that since he said so, it would definitely not be false.
This Lantian Silver Thread Rice is already so delicious and now he found out that it is more nutritious than Ginseng. Combining these two factors make this a treasure and it’s a big deal for him.
He finally understood why Su Jing valued this Lantian Silver Thread Rice so much, although he only had 10% of the profit, but it should not be underestimated.
Because even if this rice sells for ten times the price of ordinary rice, many people would still rush to buy it.
“Mr. Su, may I ask, what is this so-called Lantian Silver Thread Rice?” The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man finally couldn’t help asking the question that was rising inside everyone’s heart.
“It’s something I cultivated on my own.” Su Jing replied.
“That means, only you have it?” The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man asked again.
“For the time being, you would have to wait at least a few months if you want to buy it from the market.” Su Jing said.
“A few days ago, did you have a meal near Zhongyun High School?” The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man continued to ask.
“That’s right.” Su Jing glanced at the Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man suspiciously, not knowing why this guy had asked such a question.
“It turns out that the rice smell I smelled that day was really made by you.” The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man exclaimed.
“Ohh, so you were nearby at that time. There is nothing surprising about it. This is the original scent of Lantian Silver Thread Rice. I just cooked it in a rice cooker. A child can do it without any cooking skills.” Su Jing laughed.
“That…” The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man looked at the Lantian Silver Thread Rice and swallowed his saliva. He wanted to taste it but was too embarrassed to say it.
“You can try it.” Su Jing smiled as he picked up an empty bowl and filled him with a bowl of rice.
The Square Faced Middle-Aged Man took the bowl with trembling hands, regardless of the taste of the food, Su Jing’s attitude made him feel ashamed of himself, he took a bite of the rice and chewed a couple of mouthfuls and his eyes widened.
He ate it in big mouthfuls and soon finished half of his bowl, and then he took a bite of each dish. Every time he ate a dish, he had such an excited expression on his face that made the young men and women who came with him look envious.
The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man wolfed down the whole bowl of rice, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and respectfully bowed to Su Jing as he spoke: “Mr. Su, I have had doubts about your cooking skills and I am deeply sorry for that. It’s because I don’t know how amazing you are. This meal is the most delicious meal I’ve ever eaten in my life. Your cooking skills are simply at the pinnacle!”
The Square-Faced Middle-Aged Man is feeling extremely shocked at this moment. The rice is delicious but that can be contributed to it being the Lantian Silver Thread Rice, but the other dishes were also extremely delicious.
And it is these side dishes that prove Su Jing’s cooking skills. He has never imagined that food can be delicious to this level, which is beyond him. While he was overwhelmed with admiration, he was also deeply ashamed of his doubts about Su Jing before.
