A rich aroma swept through the entire restaurant, instantly perking up many of the diners.
In the kitchen, Jun Wangchen picked up the fish-fragrant shredded pork and slowly followed Shen Luoying out.
Everywhere the dish passed, its rich fragrance spread, tantalizing noses with an aroma entirely unlike ordinary fish-fragrant shredded pork.
The dish in Jun Wangchen's hands carried none of the smoky, greasy smell of cooking, only the enticing fragrance of fish.
The fish in the bowl was arranged unevenly, giving it a kind of tousled beauty. From a distance, it looked like a delicacy from the Immortal Realm, with a charm all its own.
Every customer swallowed involuntarily. Just looking at this dish made their mouths water and whetted their appetites. It was as though all the flavors of life had been cooked into a single bowl.
"Sir, here's the fish-fragrant shredded pork you ordered." Jun Wangchen walked to a male customer's table, set the dish before him, and gestured for him to try it.
The man looked at Jun Wangchen, then at the fragrant dish before him. Swallowing, he picked up his chopsticks and took a slice of fish.
The slice was a moderate size, so thin it was translucent. Beneath the lights, it actually gave off a soft white glow.
Without hesitation, the man put it straight into his mouth.
Instantly, an indescribable sensation swept through his body. The fish and its accompanying ingredients seemed to meld together, their flavors washing back and forth through his mouth.
It melted on his tongue, leaving him eager for more!
For a moment, he seemed to return to his childhood. He saw his grandmother carrying him on her back to catch loaches in the fields, running into the wind through golden rice paddies.
The corners of his eyes grew damp.
