I Am A Gourmet: Just Eight And You Want Me To Start A Roadside Stall? Chapter 44 – A Cooking Man (Boy) Is So Handsome!

Chapter 44: A Cooking Man (Boy) Is So Handsome!
The taste of the shrimps was also mixed with the fragrance of the onions.

This was the third taste of this dish.

The taste of truly excellent ingredients must have different depth of flavours.

Just like the stewed onions that Xu Le made. If it was an ordinary dish, the taste would be quite normal.

However, right now, after Cai Lan put the stewed onion in his mouth, there were three different flavors presented to him. They were all fragrance of onions, yet they were all different.

The smell of the third flavour gradually subsided.

Then another taste came.

Cai Lan's eyes was filled with shock.

There was actually a fourth taste!

However, he soon discovered that the taste of the fourth flavour was the same as the first one. It was purely the fragrance of onions.

This dish had a rich and layered taste. It started with the fragrance of onions and ended with it.

The rich changes in the four flavors definitely made one feel as if they had eaten some kind of mysterious dish that could control their taste buds.

When Cai Lan opened his eyes, all he saw was a plate of stewed onions.

It seemed to be plain and ordinary, yet it concealed profound secrets.

This was the charm of Chinese cuisine.

“Great dish!”

Cai Lan exclaimed.

The feeling this dish brought him was too intense. He had never tasted such an amazing dish before, let alone the fact that the ingredients used for this dish were so simple.

Only onions and shrimp.

“If Mr. Wang Shixiang were still alive, he would probably cry after eating such delicious stewed onions!”

Mr. Cai Lan sighed. Tears welled up in his eyes and then rolled down the corner of his eyes.

“Little Master Chef, everyone says that your culinary skills are superb. I didn't expect… your culinary skills to be to this extent!”

Cai Lan could not help but exclaim.

Xu Le's culinary skills had far exceeded his imagination.

Actually, ever since Xu Le became famous on the Internet, Cai Lan had been paying attention.

However, his previous attention was only through the screen and he could not be personally taste his dishes.

Now that he had tasted it, he could truly appreciate the capability in Xu Le's culinary skills.

“The reputation of the Little Master Chef is well-deserved!”

It was a dish with four different flavors, which brought him an amazing experience.

“Come and have a taste too!”

Cai Lan turned around and called for the staff behind him to come and have a taste.

Among them were the production team's director and screenwriter.

They had to personally taste all the dishes that were going to appear on the program. After all, they could only write the narration lines in the documentary after they had tasted it themselves.

They couldn't possibly make it up themselves.

After each person placed an onion into their mouths, everyone's expressions seemed to have been pressed by the remote control to pause.

Their expressions… were frozen.

They had never tasted anything like this before. It was a wonderful experience!

Even some people in the team who were never willing to eat onions could not help but take a bite.

And they were quickly won over by this [Stewed Onions].

This dish did not have the stimulating taste of the onion itself, only the fragrance of the onion remained.

After one bite.

The pure onion fragrance… with the sweetness of fresh onions… and the smell of seafood… then the pure onion fragrance…

This was like a cycle of reincarnation, with the taste constantly surging in one's mouth.

The experience of a top-notch culinary skills was displayed using an ordinary onion.

There was only one ingredient in this plate of onions, and that was Beijing onions.

However, after Xu Le's skillful cooking, the onions became soft and delicious.

Every onion was so tasty. In less than a minute, everyone finished the whole plate.

Even Cai Lan could not stop eating. He even began fighting with the staff for the onions.

Just like what Mr. Wang Cengqi had said in his article, this dish of onions had beaten all the exotic delicacies.

The onions bought with a few dollars, after being stewed, were even more delicious than many top-grade ingredients.

“Little Master Chef, you're impressive!”

After tasting the dish, everyone couldn't help but give Xu Le a thumbs up.

This dish was simply too delicious.

Using the simplest and most homely ingredients to show off his cooking skills, he appeared even more like a godly cook.

The best way to cook delicious food was to use simple methods to make it.

Xu Le's [Stewed Onions] showcased this point and reached a beautiful realm.

There was no complicated, long, and cumbersome cooking process.

With just the simplest way of stewing in oil and the most basic ingredients, one could cook with their utmost sincerity.

The taste that could touch everyone's hearts.

“Alright!”

Cai Lan started clapping.

When he suggested coming to the [8-year-old cafeteria], the director had strongly opposed it.

However, because of Mr. Cai Lan's insistence, they appeared in front of Xu Le.

In fact, they had really benefitted.

Without a doubt, Cai Lan felt that if Taste of China missed out on this dish, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Everyone would never forget this dish for the rest of their lives!

“Everyone, don't look at me with such admiration. I didn't invent this dish. Mr. Shixiang invented it.”

Xu Le was a little embarrassed.

These people were all staring at him like a pack of wolves staring at a little lamb. However, their eyes were also filled with admiration.

“When this dish was circulated in Beijing, there was a saying in the literary circle: If you can't eat Wang Shixiang's stewed onions, you won't be able to rest in peace. This joke was even brought to the United States by the literary circle and published in the Californian paper.”

After everyone heard Xu Le's explanation, they were also amazed by the founder of this dish, Mr. Wang Shixiang.

To be able to cook such a delicious dish was truly an extraordinary merit.

“This episode's filming was very successful!”

Following Cai Lan's shout, the entire restaurant erupted into applause.

Cheers, applause, and praises filled the dining hall.

And just half an hour ago, the program team of Central TV had also heard about the news of Taste of China's visit at the stall for filming.

Therefore, they rushed over overnight to do a live broadcast.

The host, Wang Bingbing, also tasted this delicious dish. Her bright eyes were filled with admiration as she stared at Xu Le.

If Xu Le was not a child but an adult man.

With such delicious dishes and superb culinary skills, Wang Bingbing felt that it would be difficult for her to resist the urge to marry him.

A man who can cook… is so freaking handsome!!
