Chapter 75: The Story of the Stewed Beef in a Sealed Pot

Tang Wulin's face grew somewhat solemn, he had to treat this with caution. 。They're from Shrek Academy! Everyone saw the performance match. Although we didn't see exactly how they made their moves, be..."Sure!" Tang Wulin smiled, he was already hungry.

"Muan-can Beef" is a delicacy cooked in a brown-yellow earthenware pot. The beef is washed clean and simmered with ginger slices and scallions. The earthenware pot effectively traps the beef's moisture and flavor. After the beef changes color, dozens of spices are added to simmer for an extended period until the beef is completely tender. At this point, the spice flavors have perfectly blended with the beef, creating a truly delicious dish that is famous in Donghai City.

The shop wasn't large, with the stove outside. There were nearly a hundred fire eyes on top, and steaming beef stew clay pots were placed above them. The rising aroma of beef from under the pot lids wasn't just simmering; it was also escaping through cracks to entice passersby.

The shop only had five small rectangular tables, which could accommodate at most twenty or so people. At this time, half of them were occupied.

It is deep autumn now, and the temperature outside is not high. As soon as you enter the store, you are greeted by warmth and the aroma of beef, which instantly makes you feel comfortable all over.

Gu Yue looked at Xie Xian in surprise, "I didn't expect a rich young master to eat at a roadside stall!"

Xie Xie didn't argue with her this time, "Mom used to love eating the braised beef from this place the most. I come here every once in a while." With that, he had already walked inside and sat down at a table in the back.

Tang Wulin bumped Gu Yue slightly, then followed him inside and sat down opposite Xie Xie.

"Hey, Xie Xian is here, and brought a friend too. Still the same old place" The boss was a middle-aged man with an apron stained with oil, a smile on his face.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Li," Xie Xie smiled faintly.

Soon, three portions of braised beef in cans, three bowls of white rice, and two dishes of stir-fried vegetables were served.

"This is your first time bringing a friend, isn't it Here, have some food." Li Shu smiled warmly and even patted Xie Xian's head like he was his own nephew.

Tang Wulin stared in surprise at Xie Xie. Xie Xie was known for his cleanliness; his bed was always the tidiest in the dormitory. But now, facing the touch of this street vendor, he didn't dodge but instead smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Whether it was Tang Wulin or Gu Yue, they were both somewhat taken aback by this state Xie Xie was in.

Xie Xie said, "What are you waiting for Eat quickly." As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the earthenware pot in front of him. A rich aroma of beef filled the air instantly. The broth was a dark gold color, and one could see chunks of beef inside. Xie Xie touched it with his chopsticks, and immediately, the beef softened to a tender state.

He carefully picked out a piece and placed it on his rice, then ate it with the rice, his face full of enjoyment.

Tang Wulin couldn't help himself anymore, and he started eating like Xie Xie.

“So delicious,” he exclaimed, it was truly too delicious. The rich aroma of the beef, accompanied by the gravy, with its savory and salty flavor perfectly balanced by the white rice, was impeccable.

Gu Yue took a bite and couldn't help but be moved.

It was a shop like this, with dim lighting and old furniture, yet boasting surprisingly delicious food. Beef, thick soup, vegetables, and white rice – each bite warmed you from the inside out.

After three months of joint training, the atmosphere among the trio was noticeably more harmonious than it had been at the academy.

"Uncle Li, let's have ten more portions," Xie Xihe greeted Uncle Li. He knew very well how much a certain someone could eat.

Tang Wulin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Thank you."

"What are you doing" Xie Xian looked up at him.

Tang Wulin said helplessly, “Your name is really bad. Mine is the one that says thank you.”

Xie Xie suddenly smiled bitterly, his eyes slightly red. "My name was given to me by my mother. My mother told me that she named me this because she was grateful for that chance encounter. She, she was the happiest in her life when she met Dad at that time. But..." At this point, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hand holding the chopsticks tightened noticeably.

"Your mother..." Tang Wulin hesitated. Although he could tell that Xie Xie's family was wealthy, this was the first time he had heard Xie Xie talk about his home.

Xie Xi pursed her lips, "My father is always busy with various matters. Even when my mother was seriously ill, he was still running around outside. Before my mother passed away, her last wish was to see him one last time, but he still came back late. I can never forget that night, my mother cried and with regret in her eyes, she loosened her grip on my hand. I hate him, I hate him! I also hate my own name. If it wasn't for that encounter, maybe my mother wouldn't have..."

Here, he suddenly slammed his face onto the table.

Here, he seemed to have shed all the pretense he had built with aloofness. This was also the first time he confided his heart to others.

At this moment, Li Shu brought over a new jar of stewed beef. As he placed it on the table and sighed, he said, "This child is so pitiful. His mother used to love bringing him here. After his mother passed away, he came alone. Every time he comes, he remembers his mother. Don't blame him! It's rare to see him bring friends. I'm happy for him. He's young, but he has a lot on his mind. Please help him out. Oh, what a tragedy!"

Tang Wulin patted Xie Xie on the back. Gu Yue sat there somewhat dazed, watching Xie Xie cry, and in her eyes, there gradually appeared a hint of something.

"Hey, stop crying. I take back what I said earlier, I'll treat you to dinner today." Gu Yue kicked Xie Xie in the face with her foot.

Xie Xie lifted his head, using his sleeve to wipe the water from his eyes, "I smell of copper!"

Gu Yue curled her lips, "That kid still holds a grudge."

Xie Xie angrily shouted, "You are the same age as me, and your birth month is even earlier than mine. I'm a little boy, what are you A little girl"

Gu Yue opened a newly arrived earthenware pot and ate, saying while she munched, "Don't argue with crybabies. Mmm, so delicious."

When the three left the beef tripe store, Uncle Li looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh, "These kids these days really have big appetites!"

A hearty pot of beef stew not only provided Tang Wulin and his companions with satisfaction and warmth, but also subtly narrowed the distance between them.

Then there are the salt-grilled prawns. Fresh prawns threaded onto skewers and grilled over charcoal, sprinkled with sea salt - simple yet bursting with the fresh flavors of the ocean.

Tang Wulin fully demonstrated the demeanor of the God of Food. The three of them ate from one end of the food street to the other, filled with laughter and joy.

"We're stuffed." Gu Yue supported Tang Wulin's shoulders, Xie Xie on the other side doing the same.

Tang Wulin laughed and said, "If you don't have the stomach for it, don't try to learn from the God of Food."

Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "What foodie god, you're just a glutton. I thought so the first time I saw you eat."

Tang Wulin snorted coldly, "Let's go, keep eating, you're treating anyway."

Xie Xie was stunned and exclaimed, "You can still eat" This fellow had eaten an amount on the way that probably equaled a whole cow!

"That's right!" Tang Wulin said arrogantly.

"Hey! What's going on over there" Gu Yue suddenly said.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked up. There seemed to be some commotion at the entrance of the food street, with quite a crowd gathered there.

That location seems to be the Mutton Pot Beef Restaurant!er side, constantly talking to her. Yet, Yuen Ngok-yeung remained indifferent. 。It's fine, I still can't do it. 。Tang Wulin thought about it and decided to stay here. He didn't want to go over there a...
