Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 939 - 461: You Call This a Set Meal? (Part 3)

No way, you guys have already eaten well with the set meal, and there's more good food?

Zhang Guanghang came out with the dish.

"Nine-Turned Pork Intestines, please enjoy."

Nine-Turned Pork Intestines, theoretically one of the guaranteed dishes in the set meal.

But obviously, this plate of Nine-Turned Pork Intestines is far from being just a guarantee.

As a famous dish of Shandong cuisine, Nine-Turned Pork Intestines tests the chef's skill, and it's very forgiving. Done well, it's Nine-Turned Pork Intestines; if not, it can just be called ordinary braised intestines.

A good Nine-Turned Pork Intestines uses the intestine head, with high demands on fire control, plating, and even higher on seasoning.

The Nine-Turned Pork Intestines have a glossy red color, a tender and soft texture, and a balance of fragrant, sweet, sour, spicy, and salty flavors. The red hue comes from caramel, the beautiful sheen from lard, and the complex flavors from ginger paste, clear broth, cooking wine, cinnamon, soy sauce, vinegar, and other condiments. It doesn't single out any one high skill, but requires the chef to be highly skilled overall.

In Fen Garden, the guaranteed dish is naturally Nine-Turned Pork Intestines and not braised intestines, but there's a difference between a guaranteed Nine-Turned Pork Intestines and a golden Nine-Turned Pork Intestines.

The Nine-Turned Pork Intestines in front of us is clearly more than just guaranteed.

The plating is exquisite, and each piece of intestine is clearly the head part, shining with a golden luster from its color to its aroma.

The couple, munching on Wanfu Meat, swallowed instinctively while looking at the Nine-Turned Pork Intestines.

Damn, the Wanfu Meat in their mouths suddenly didn't taste as good.

Isn't that a set meal next door? Why do they feel the set meal next door is better than what they're having? Wasn't it said that Master Xia was in a bad mood lately, and the set meal dishes weren't good? How come the neighbors are eating so well!

They miscalculated, wishing they had ordered the set meal today.

The trio eating claypot shark fin were also a bit astounded by the gold content of today's set meal, but looking at their own claypot shark fin, they still felt it wasn't that great.

Qin Huai and Zhao Cheng'an wouldn't think too much about it, the dishes are on their table, so what's there to think about? Just eat.

The two were eating with such enthusiasm that oil was dripping from their mouths.

Zhao Cheng'an even had a blissful expression from eating.

"Qin Huai, I think I can eat at least two more dishes!"

"I think I can eat three," Qin Huai was not one to lose in such moments, "but there shouldn't be any more dishes, the last dish should be Tao's Blossoms."

"Oh, the crispy rice, crispy rice is good, finishes off the main course," Zhao Cheng'an nodded repeatedly, "just not sure how big the portion is, you half, I half, if we're not full, we'll go buy some baked buns."

The other five: ...

Are you two starved ghosts come back to life?

Just as the Nine-Turned Pork Intestines were about to be devoured by the two starved ghosts, Zhang Guanghang brought out more dishes.

"Wanfu Meat, please enjoy."

The couple: Wuwaawuwuu, why does their set meal also have Wanfu Meat? Why do we feel their Wanfu Meat tastes better than ours did just now?

The couple had actually finished eating, but they didn't leave, they just wanted to sit there and see what else the neighbors would bring out.

Wasn't it said to be a set meal, weren't set meals 4~5 courses? How many have already come out!

Already 4 courses!

Each one a fine dish, no cold dishes, no vegetables, no soup, and even Wanfu Meat, the next dish has to be Tao's Blossoms, right?

No, it wasn't.

"Braised sea cucumber with scallions, please enjoy."

"Braised Abalone in its Shell, please enjoy."

"Special Tofu, please enjoy."

"Sweet and Sour Carp, please enjoy."

The couple felt like they ran out of tears, the word envy had worn them out emotionally, both were numb, feeling they might have eaten themselves to faint in a dream.

The trio of friends wasn't much better off, almost making the claypot shark fin lose its flavor, staring blankly.

A bizarre thought rose in their mind: was the set meal actually a buffet?

Previously, the two-person set meal only had 4~5 dishes because the portion size wasn't big enough. Eating 4~5 dishes would fill them up. These two were like starved ghosts, kept eating, Master Xia was in a good mood, saw they hadn't had enough, and kept serving dishes.

When Zhang Guanghang came out with another claypot from the kitchen, the trio felt like they too might have fainted in a dream.

If not, who could explain this to them?

What???

Claypot shark fin?!

A more luxurious portion than theirs, super large, filled with all sorts of balls and hotpot items, the balls almost stacked like a small mountain, and the shark fin spread out so much it nearly overflowed the claypot shark fin?!

Is this still claypot shark fin? What is this, a super-sized spicy hotpot with hotpot ingredients?

Are these two really able to understand what they're eating? Can they finish it? Isn't Fen Garden against waste? How can they eat so many dishes??

Is this reasonable?

Is it reasonable???

Weren't these two having a set meal? Last time, the lucky set meal had a single claypot shark fin; it didn't have so many dishes!

Who are these two? Master Xia's long-lost grandsons?

Qin Huai and Zhao Cheng'an didn't fare much better, too.

They were both so full they were dazed.

Qin Huai also started doubting if he was hallucinating from eating, how come it seemed like he saw a big pot of claypot shark fin?

"Claypot shark fin, please enjoy," Zhang Guanghang set down the claypot shark fin, took away the empty plates, and left calmly.

Zhao Cheng'an looked nervously at the big pot of claypot shark fin in front of him and swallowed: "Qin... Qin Huai, how much would this table cost if we ordered it individually?"

"I don't know, I only know the deluxe version of claypot shark fin sells for 68,000."

"Wouldn't Master Xia have made a mistake, thinking we ordered so many dishes? I just restocked my warehouse this morning, and I don't have money to pay for the meal."

Hearing Zhao Cheng'an say this, Qin Huai suddenly relaxed and confidently said, "Eat, I have money to pay for the meal."

"I won't restock the warehouse."
