Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 947 - 464: No Need to Eat So Fast (3)

In the kitchen, Xia Mubing returned to his status of cooking while frequently glancing at the surveillance, noticing Zhao Cheng'an and Qin Huai cheerfully touching this and that in the private dining room. Zhao Cheng'an even cautiously touched an antique vase on the display shelf and smiled.

"Xiao Hang, steam a batch of the buns Qin Huai made earlier and serve each table in the main hall a plate of buns," Xia Mubing said.

"Okay, Master."

There was only one table of diners in the Fen Garden main hall during the 6 o'clock time slot today, with a total of 4 people. The four sat in the hall for a few minutes, realizing they seemed to be the only table today, they were quite amazed. They whispered amongst themselves, marveling at their luck for snatching this rare spot.

As they were speaking, Zhang Guanghang came out carrying the buns.

The 4 people were bewildered looking at the buns, thinking they didn't order them. No way, when did Fen Garden start selling buns?

"There's a table of guests in the private dining room today, the kitchen is quite busy, so the dishes might be served a bit slowly. Please bear with us, these buns are a complimentary dish today, please enjoy," Zhang Guanghang said as he placed down the buns and turned to leave.

The 4 people once again began to whisper.

"There are guests in the private dining room today? How long has it been since Fen Garden booked out the private room? I remember the private room is meant for six people, wasn't it said that Master Xia's health isn't very good this year, and he wouldn't take bookings for more than 4 people? Who has such connections, able to book the private room? No wonder we're the only table outside."

"I don't know, but I heard yesterday Master Xia was in a particularly good mood. Two young newbies came to eat and bought a set menu, eating six or seven dishes. The set menu included Wanfu Meat, and even had the deluxe version of shark fin in a clay pot!"

"Impossible, who made up this story? No way, having Wanfu Meat and shark fin in a set menu already sounds absurd, let alone six or seven dishes. Not even in dreams would you get that."

"It's true, Old Fang mentioned it!"

"Liu... hey, how come you're eating already?"

The three turned to the one who hadn't spoken, realizing the reason he was silent was because his mouth was stuffed with buns, the fourth person had already started eating.

"These buns are delicious, soft and chewy, I didn't expect Master Xia had such skills, previously I didn't know he made buns this well," said the fourth person, continuing to munch eagerly, finishing the bun in his hand before the others and grabbing another one.

Hehe, there were four of them, but there were five buns on the plate. As long as he ate quickly enough, he could eat one more than the others.

The 4 of them sat in the hall munching on the buns, while watching eagerly towards the kitchen expecting Zhang Guanghang to come out with dishes. Meanwhile, they could glance at what the people in the private room were ordering.

Under the intense gaze of the four, Zhang Guanghang came out with a plate of cabbage covered in sesame sauce, heading towards the private room.

"What dish is that? Sauce-fried cabbage? Why doesn't it have steam?"

"Must be a cold dish, I think it's Qianlong Cabbage."

"Who thinks of ordering this dish? Fen Garden has many famous cold dishes, Qianlong Cabbage doesn't even rank."

The 4 were discussing as Zhang Guanghang, having served the dish, quickly came out from the kitchen again carrying a remarkably flamboyant dish and headed towards the private room.

A dish arranged into the shape of a peacock, or perhaps a phoenix.

"What dish is that?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"No idea."

"Who's in the private room, Xu Cheng? Even last time Xu Chen came, he didn't use the private room."

In the private room, Zhang Guanghang felt a bit speechless seeing the Qianlong Cabbage quickly emptied, gaining more insight into the eating speed of Qin Huai and Zhao Cheng'an as he silently placed the dish on the table.

"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, please enjoy."

"There are still many dishes to come, no need to eat so quickly."

"Do you want your main dish to be served now or later, and which ones?"
