Chapter 681 - 535: Are You Even Human? (Part 4)
After the lion’s head was properly placed, he picked up a bok choy and gently added it along the edge of the lion’s head in the soup bowl, adding a touch of emerald green.
He then poured a ladle of delicate crab roe on top, garnished with a few cooked shrimp roe, and finally put the lid on.
This was how a refined dish of clear stewed crab roe lion’s head was perfectly completed.
He placed each lion’s head into the soup bowl, artfully adorning each with bok choy.
Just as he was about to pour out the remaining soup in the pot, Chef Wu walked into the kitchen and quickly stopped him: "Chef Huang, don’t be in such a hurry to throw away this soup. It’s too good to waste. Just leave it; I’ll use it to cook noodles tomorrow."
Huang Jun paused, then put down the earthenware pot and replied with a smile: "This soup is rich in fat, it’s indeed good for noodle soup. Alright, it’s yours!"
Chef Wu agreed wholeheartedly, thanking him repeatedly: "Great, great, Chef Huang, you’ve been busy all day, go have your meal. I’ll clean up here."
"Alright!"
Huang Jun agreed, then brought the clear stewed crab roe lion’s head to the table.
Once Huang Jun left, Chef Wu couldn’t wait to grab a spoon, filled it with the broth, blew on it gently to cool it down, and then tasted it.
His expression immediately became animated, exclaiming: "Wow, I knew this soup would be delicious, but I didn’t expect it to taste this good! It’s simply..."
He tried to search his mind for the perfect word to describe the soup’s deliciousness but was at a loss for words.
Ah well~
In the world, nothing is difficult as long as you’re willing to give up.
Drinking the soup is the priority!
If it weren’t for his age and weak stomach, he would have wanted to finish the whole pot!
Returning, Zhao Weiguang and Yu Daqing immediately caught sight of Chef Wu savoring the soup and couldn’t resist the tempting aroma. They each grabbed a spoon and joined in the tasting.
As the broth slid down their throats...
Their eyes suddenly sparkled with astonishment.
This pot of pork bone broth, infused with the essence of pork skin and lion’s head after two hours of slow simmering, had the richness and freshness of pork permeating every drop of the soup.
Huang Jun’s restrained seasoning ensured that the saltiness was just right, so as not to overshadow the soup’s inherent umami.
Thus.
What was supposed to be discarded had turned into an indescribable culinary wonder in their mouths.
"This soup residue... is simply incredible, how can it be so tasty!" Zhao Weiguang said with surprise.
"It’s not just delicious, it’s so savory that it’s irresistible!"
Yu Daqing added excitedly: "Moreover, the balance of salt is perfect, enhancing the overall taste without overpowering it. The combination of seasonings intricately showcases Chef Huang’s profound skills."
Being seasoned veterans in the culinary world, they could easily discern the quality of a dish.
As for this bowl of soup residue in front of them, even with deliberate scrutiny, they couldn’t find a single flaw.
At this moment, their admiration for Huang Jun deepened significantly.
Regardless of how other dishes by Huang Jun taste.
Just for this soup residue, you can see his skill!
After all, it’s the attention to detail that reveals true mastery.
With each mouthful of the delectable broth gliding down their throats, Zhao Weiguang and Yu Daqing’s appetites were completely awakened, moving from initial savoring to unabashed indulgence, finally turning into a near-greedy gulping down.
In just a few minutes, when Chef Wu snapped out of his trance, he was astonished to find that the pot of broth had been completely finished by the two of them.
Even the bits of meat residue at the bottom of the pot weren’t spared; they had scraped them out with a spoon and eaten them clean.
Come on, you didn’t even leave me a taste...
Are you even human?
The scene made Chef Wu feel like he wanted to commit murder!
