The perfect elf of the legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 20 The Crock Pot Beef Story
After obtaining the consent of the three people, Xie Xie walked in front and led the way, leading them to a shop.

This shop is small in size. There is a rectangular stove outside the shop. On the stove, there are hundreds of fire holes, and a brown earthen jar is placed on each job.

"Did you see those crock pots? The meat in them is all beef without any additives, and it's made of dozens of carefully prepared secret spices. It's a famous snack in Donghai City."

The four of them entered the store and sat down around a square table. Xie Xie pointed to the rows of earthen pots at the door and said.

Inside the store, a strong aroma of beef filled every corner, making people salivate, especially the foodie Tang Wulin, whose eyes were shining brightly.

"Strange, I thought the rich young master never eats roadside restaurants?" Ye Luo said jokingly.

"My mother used to love the stewed beef from this restaurant, so I would come here to eat it every once in a while..." Speaking of this, Xie Xie suddenly became inexplicably depressed.

"Yo, Xie Xie, you're here? You even brought friends here this time, isn't it good? Is it still the same?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his 50s, wearing a somewhat oily apron, with a slightly fat body and a rather kind appearance, came over and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's still the same, thank you, Uncle Li."

After listening to the middle-aged uncle's voice, the expression on Xie Xie's face quickly returned to normal, and he replied with a smile.

"Okay! Come right away."

After a while, four servings of stewed beef, four bowls of white rice, and four dishes of side dishes were served.

"I hope you all enjoy your meal, Xie Xie. This is the first time you have brought friends here. I will give these four small dishes as a gift to you." Uncle Li said with a smile, and rubbed Xie Xie's cheek kindly. Head, like treating your own child.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Li." Xie Xie thanked.

"Everyone eat quickly, let me tell you, this beef tastes especially delicious when it's hot!" Xie Xie urged.

"I'm starting!" After hearing that it was ready to eat, Tang Wulin quickly opened the lid of the crock pot, and a burst of heat and fragrance rushed over his face, making people unable to help but twitch their index fingers.

Inside the crock pot, there are pieces of beef that have been shaved into small pieces, the color is dark golden, and there is a very rich broth, which seems very delicious.

As a veteran foodie, Tang Wulin naturally couldn't wait to put a piece into his mouth, and the next moment, his face showed an intoxicated expression: "It's really delicious, Ye Luo, Gu Yue, you are too soon!" Try it!"

"It's really so delicious?" Ye Luo and Gu Yue dubiously opened the crock pot and took a sip.

"Hmm! It's really delicious!" After feeling the feedback from the taste buds, the two nodded in approval.

"What will happen if you turn on the super strong sense of taste?" Ye Luo couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart. For him, the supernatural senses can be switched on and off freely. Normally, he only turns on the super strong sense of vision. , all others are closed.

try it?
Thinking of this, Ye Luo turned on the switch of super strong taste, and his own taste directly increased 20 times, and then picked up a piece of beef again and took a bite, his face changed drastically, and he almost smeared honey and asked:

What kind of unpalatable thing is this tm!

Star anise, fennel, sesame... the various seasonings added to the crock pot beef were tasted directly, and the mix of so many flavors made him feel like vomiting.

"Ye Luo? What's the matter with you, don't you think it tastes good?" Seeing that Ye Luo's face was not looking well, Gu Yue asked with concern.

"No, it's okay, it's delicious." Ye Luo shook his head, and instantly turned off his super strong sense of taste. In an instant, the beef chewed in his mouth regained its original taste, and he swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, at this moment, the crock pot beef that exuded a strong fragrance became unpalatable in his eyes. Ye Luo shook his head, he didn't want to take another bite.

Sure enough, the super strong taste is simply poisonous, and we must not open too much, otherwise we will not be able to eat anything in the future!At this moment, Ye Luo couldn't help making up his mind secretly.

"Wu Lin, I'm not very hungry right now, I'll give you my share." Ye Luo sent out the earthen pot in front of him.

"Really? Thank you, Ye Luo." Hearing these words, Tang Wulin brought the crock pot of beef over in an instant, and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Facing such delicious food, except for Ye Luo who couldn't finish it, everyone else wiped out the remaining crock pot of beef. At this time, Xie Xie also greeted Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, 20 more servings! "

"20 servings, have you finished eating?"

After hearing Xie Xie's words, Uncle Li's face showed a hint of surprise, and he asked back.

"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Li, there is a big eater here!"

After hearing Uncle Li's words, Xie Xie laughed loudly.

"That's fine, I'll prepare for you to go, but first remind you, don't bloat your stomach."

After speaking, Uncle Li walked out.

"Thank you!" Tang Wulin said contentedly after drinking the last mouthful of soup.

"what?"

With a hint of doubt, Xie Xie raised his head and asked.

"No, I mean that thank you, your name is really easy to misunderstand!"

Tang Wulin explained with a look of helplessness on his face.

"This is the name my mother gave me. I used to think the same way. Later, my mother told me that she gave me this name because she was grateful for that encounter."

"When I was very young, I was ridiculed by my classmates because of this name. When I questioned my mother, she told me that the reason why I chose this name for me was to be grateful for that encounter. The greatest happiness is meeting my father, but..."

Speaking of this, Xie Xie firmly held the chopsticks, and his face suddenly became a little pale.

"Could it be that your mother..."

Listening to Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin also guessed something, grabbed Xie Xie's hand, and asked in a low voice.

"Well, she has passed away. I still remember that night, my mother was dying, but my father was still on the go. Before my mother passed away, her last wish was to see my father."

"However... that night, he came back late. I will never forget the look in the eyes of my mother who passed away with regret. Every time I think of this, I hate my father so much! Why didn't he come sooner? Come back and have a look at your mother! Is work really that important?"

After saying this, Xie Xie seemed to have some emotions completely released, lying on the table and crying continuously.
