Tian Xiu thought that since it was something she couldn't refuse, then she shouldn't refuse it.
She quickly reached out with her chopsticks and picked up a semi-transparent steamed dumpling.
The closer she got, the more pronounced the slight red color of the shrimp meat became, and the more intense the aroma became.
Tian Xiu couldn't help but swallow hard, then tentatively took a small bite.
The dumpling wrapper was so thin that the slightest touch of her lips and teeth was enough to reveal the tender, flavorful shrimp meat inside.
Tian Xiu didn't bite much, but she felt the unique ocean aroma explode in her mouth.
Caught completely off guard, the savory aroma hit her right in the head, leaving her stunned.
[What's happened?]
[Not tasty? No way! I was thinking of going to see what kind of dumplings are so expensive!]
The viewers in the live stream were all curious when Tian Xiu stopped moving.
Tian Xiu was completely stunned.
What does it feel like to have a bite of something fresh?
At that moment, she felt it all very clearly.
The slight broth inside the steamed dumpling, with each bite, flowed along the succulent shrimp meat, dancing between her lips and teeth…
The feeling was like gentle seawater, softly washing over her weary body and parched soul.
Fresh and fragrant.
"This tastes...delicious!" Realizing what was happening, Tian Xiu swallowed the rest of the dumplings in one gulp.
This bite features bouncy and fresh shrimp meat, complemented by tender and savory pork. Together, they create a wonderful and comforting sensation, giving one a great sense of satisfaction.
Tian Xiu's already bright eyes shone even brighter.
The fans in the live stream saw it most clearly.
They witnessed firsthand what it looks like when someone's eyes light up.
Tian Xiu's eyes truly shone instantly.
The other two guys in the team were still hesitating about whether or not to eat.
These dumplings are really fresh, but then they saw fans saying that may be something was added to the translucent skin, so they hesitated again.
Now that they saw Tian Xiu eating them, the two of them couldn't resist picking up their chopsticks.
After just one bite, they began to regret their decision.
Waaah, this is so delicious! They should have eaten sooner!
Tian Xiu ate without even looking up, ignoring the fans' comments in the live chat.
There are eight dumplings on a plate. If they eat slowly, they'll only be able to get one.
So, let's eat the dumplings first, and then worry about the comments.
As Tian Xiu picked up the third dumpling, a rich, delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Tian Xiu sniffed the air carefully and couldn't help but exclaim, "So fresh! How can I describe this feeling? It's like the waves gently embracing you, leaving a lingering fragrance before swimming back to the boundless seabed."
[Wow, I never thought my Xiu could be so artistic!]
[Now I'm even more curious, what kind of shrimp and dumplings are they? Are they really that fresh?]
[Shrimp is naturally fresh and delicious, it must be amazing if cooked properly. I'm curious where the restaurant is?]
[Tian Xiu, swear you didn't take bribes!]
[I don't think so. If Tian Xiu had been bribed, we would all have seen through it but kept quiet. Today, her eyes really shone!]
...
Fans are already curious about where this restaurant is.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Sheng Jiu had already started cooking shrimp paste.
As the temperature rose, the irresistible aroma of the shrimp paste filled Sheng Jiu's face and wafted in all directions, drawing everyone who smelled it to stop and admire it.
Man Man was already full. She doesn't usually eat much, but today she ate three walnut-sized shrimp paste, a lot of noodles, and a few sips of soup.
Just then, smelling the familiar, fresh aroma, Man Man's adorable eyes widened, and she whispered, "Daddy, it smells like noodles!"
Ling Zi Yu was picking up the leftovers, eating the large, plump shrimp paste with a satisfied expression. Hearing his daughter's words, he smiled helplessly: "Man Man, this is the freshness of the shrimp, and the noodles are the aroma of wheat. Wheat flour is made from wheat, and then water is added to make dough to make noodles."
Man Man tilted her little head, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Daddy's right!"
Over there, the two elderly men had finished their dumplings and were now dividing up the noodles.
One bite of noodles, one bite of savory flavor—it's enough to make a person forget where they are.
After the two elderly men finished sharing the noodle soup, Grandpa Hong felt he had finally managed to regain his senses.
While wiping his mouth, he whispered to Grandpa Wu with some unease, "I feel like...it's a little addictive?"
Hearing him say that, Grandpa Wu paused in wiping his mouth: "...No way?"
The two elderly men exchanged a glance, also finding their recent habit of automatically coming over at meal times hard to explain.
So, could she have added something?
Or...
Should they report her?
Two servings of shrimp paste noodles were ready, and Sheng Jiu brought them out to Tian Xiu's table.
Tian Xiu and the others heard what the two old men said, but the freshness of the shrimp paste noodles was far more intense than that of the steamed dumplings.
It made no attempt to conceal its presence, the deliciousness of the shrimp wafted out from the light, white steam, forcefully and irresistibly filling their nostrils.
Tian Xiu thought…
Fine, let it be.
It's too delicious!
She couldn't resist!
Originally, to look good on camera, she needed to control her diet, only taking small bites of even the most delicious foods.
She wasn't a competitive eater, so she didn't need to devour food on screen, and her fans knew that.
But right now, she doesn't want to diet anymore, she wants to eat noodles and drink soup.
She could tell from the delicious smell that the soup base must be rich and flavorful!
After serving them the shrimp paste noodles, new customers arrived.
After the two elderly men finished eating, though a little apprehensive, but they still packed some steamed dumplings to take home.
Tian Xiu was so captivated by the delicious shrimp paste noodle that she lost her mind. Ignoring the two young men's attempts to dissuade her, she insisted on packing two more servings of noodles to take home!
She wanted a late-night snack, she wasn't going to diet today.
Seeing that they couldn't dissuade her, the two young men stopped trying.
When Sheng Jiu heard that she wanted to take the noodles to go, she nodded first, then pointed out the problem: "Noodles don't taste as good if they've been left out for a while. If you can accept that, I'll go cook them now."
Tian Xiu had definitely considered this when she ordered take out: "No problem, make it, two servings!"
Tiani Xu thought that if the noodles clumped up when she got back, she would use the broth to cook instant noodles.
She had plenty of ways to get that delicious and fresh broth again!
Since the diner was accepting, Sheng Jiu didn't say anything more.
Everytime the shrimp paste is cooked in the kitchen, the rich, overpowering aroma that rises with the heat is enough to entice the diners to wander around the restaurant.
Lin Qi had to work overtime today, and she was worried that if she arrived late, she wouldn't get a good meal, so she made sure to take time out of her schedule to come over.
But as soon as she reached the door and smelled the familiar aroma of the sea, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.
Seafood again!
