Chapter 310
Wukong greedily inhaled deeply, the aroma fiercely assaulting his olfactory nerves, tempting him so much he wished he could lunge forward and snatch the food.
But this dish was indeed what the master himself wanted to eat; even if he had eight times the courage, he wouldn't dare, and his mood instantly sank somewhat.
Sun Wukong listlessly opened his own jar; although fragrance also drifted out, compared to Chen Nuo's, it was truly the lesser witch seeing the greater witch.
He glanced at his own Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, then looked at Chen Nuo's.
Only to see that in the master's pot, various ingredients were distinctly layered, colors vivid and bright; even this small pot gathered into a scene of a prosperous age.
In contrast, his own was somewhat uneven; many ingredients had already gone wrong during individual handling, let alone the final dish— the quality gap was obvious, and its flavor didn't even need tasting; one glance told all.
This comparison made Sun Wukong want even more to eat Chen Nuo's pot.
He hehehed a smile, rubbed his hands, and flatteringly said: "Master, could I also taste a couple of bites? Just a few bites."
"I, I'll pay."
Sun Wukong said while raising his hand slightly, revealing the somewhat sparse hair on his arm.
Chen Nuo's mouth corner lifted slightly, he shook his head, smiling faintly as he said: "You've already eaten today, haven't you? How so? Been out too long, forgot the master's shop rules?"
"No, no."
Sun Wukong's head shook like a rattle drum, he hastily denied— this was the master's immovable rule; even as a disciple, he couldn't overstep.
"Master, could tomorrow I order this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
Sun Wukong stared fixedly at Chen Nuo's pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, pursed his lips, and said.
Chen Nuo shrugged: "I feel today's amount is already enough; I estimate after finishing today, I won't want to eat it tomorrow."
"Besides, today this is merely a trial dish for teaching you; before you attend the Buddhist Dharma Feast, I haven't planned to launch this dish, so you also can't order it."
"Ah?"
Sun Wukong gaped, his face instantly falling— wasn't that saying... he couldn't eat this during this period? "Don't!"
Sun Wukong let out a howl; if he'd never known about this dish, it would've been fine, but now it's right before his eyes yet he can't eat it, and learning he still can't have it later is enough to choke him.
Who could endure this? Such behavior is simply demonic— without comparison, there is no harm!
Sun Wukong complained inwardly, yet dared not show it in the slightest.
"Stop crying and howling all day; it's not enough to embarrass me— speak less during meals."
Chen Nuo spoke fluently, picked up his chopsticks, and reached into the pot.
He pinched up a pearl and ate it, closed his eyes, chewed slowly, and savored the flavor.
Chen Nuo nodded, not bad, still quite successful.
The dried scallop was tender and delicate; in the mouth it not only had the original freshness, but also the broth and other ingredients interwoven with meat fragrance— let alone how beautiful it was.
Gurgle.
Sun Wukong swallowed his saliva, reluctantly gazing at his own Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, picked up his chopsticks, and somewhat unwillingly went to pinch the vegetables.
After all, with pearl jade before him, who would cherish his own experimental attempt? He took a tentative bite.
Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.
It seemed, his own dish's flavor was also not bad.
He then calmed himself, eating bite by bite, while smelling the alluring aroma from Chen Nuo's pot, eating with the flavor, making it even more fragrant.
But this situation was ultimately self-deception; upon eating the fish lips, Sun Wukong's face instantly furrowed.
A bit fishy... the ingredient handling wasn't done well, the eating rhythm was interrupted, and the more he looked at his own Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the more he felt full of loopholes.
Meanwhile, the fragrance from Chen Nuo's side continuously stimulated Sun Wukong's nose and spirit.
Sun Wukong wanted to cry but had no tears; he was in extreme difficulty!
Just as he was grieving spring and mourning autumn, the soup pot opposite was pushed over.
"Let's eat together."
Sun Wukong looked at the soup pot in the middle of the table, blinked, then hesitated: "Master, you..."
"Learning cooking naturally requires tasting dishes; otherwise, how could one absorb experience from it?"
Chen Nuo explained lightly.
Sun Wukong's face shifted from dazed to delighted, he nodded vigorously and loudly said: "Yes!
I will surely study cooking well, perfect this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
Not disappoint the master."
After speaking, Sun Wukong's heart held excitement, his trembling hand reached for the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; a half-cut abalone was clamped up, wrapped in broth, looking full of appetite.
Seeing the broth about to fall due to gravity, Sun Wukong's eyes and hands were swift— he immediately employed magic to wrap it, swiftly retracted his hand, and ate the abalone meat.
Seafood flavor light and refreshing, springy and smooth.
The simmered broth further elevated the taste, really delicious!
Sun Wukong happily narrowed his eyes; just this comparison, his Buddha Jumps Over the Wall could be said to be worth nothing.
Worlds apart, the master truly lives up to being the master.
Sun Wukong felt boundless reverence in his heart.
Although he now has some grasp of overall cooking skills, before the master he remains like a toddler with unsteady steps.
Try the soup, how is it!
Sun Wukong had just swallowed it, then immediately acted impatiently.
He picked up the spoon beside him, then thrust it into the pot's rich broth, lightly sending it into his mouth; Sun Wukong's eyes suddenly became snow-bright.
He originally could already anticipate that this soup would certainly be very delicious, after all, even the stock ingredients alone were so abundant, the taste must be exceptional.
Yet Sun Wukong's sole miscalculation was that this soup's deliciousness was somewhat unimaginable.
The base broth used chicken, duck, beef, etc., simmered, yet in the final product it was again stewed with seafood, fully absorbing the ocean's salty freshness.
You in me, me in you, the interweaving of meat and freshness builds a splendid scene— this is the collision of ocean and land, a peerless masterpiece!
The soup juice went down his stomach, warming his belly, and the whole monkey began to feel warm and cozy.
After a long while, Sun Wukong finally let out a long breath, his face full of contentment, relaxed!
The taste of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, even Flying Dragon Soup would have to yield slightly.
It's not that Flying Dragon Soup is not good to drink, it's just that the high-end ingredients absorbed by Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are too many, Sun Wukong's mind free of distractions, he began to eat voraciously, one bite after another.
Eating with rice, it was extraordinarily fragrant, Chen Nuo's mouth twitched, this is really not letting people!
Saying to eat and then eating, it's not over yet, and he doesn't even consider his master!
Chen Nuo shook his head helplessly, but he didn't go to interrupt Sun Wukong, instead he took out another jar.
Fortunately, he made a hundred millionfold more.
"Ah!
So delicious"
Sun Wukong held his round, full belly with both hands, leaning against the chair back, his face full of contentment, if he could eat such delicious food every day would be good, Sun Wukong sighed deeply, although both were made by the master, but he could feel that the quality of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is above these dishes!
No way, in terms of the richness and preciousness of ingredients, up to now, he has never seen anything that could surpass Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Suddenly, Sun Wukong withdrew his mind and spirit.
Right, how could he only think of himself eating, he cursed himself a few times, Sun Wukong hurriedly turned his gaze toward Chen Nuo.
Master hasn't eaten a few... bites... looking at Chen Nuo eating leisurely with the newly cooked pot, Sun Wukong's eyelids twitched, the guilt in his heart was forcibly stopped, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He just said... Master, why are you suddenly so generous, it turns out you were prepared all along.
