Capítulo 24: Do You Think I Don't Understand?
Editor: Atlas Studios
After eating the peanuts for a while, Ding Ling's parents were busy setting up the barbecue grill. Li Chengqian's parents went to the lake to try fishing, while Ding Ling stayed behind to help Li Chengqian.
She went over the things Li Chengqian found on the mountain.
"Li Chengqian, what's this? Apricot mushrooms? How do you eat them?" Ding Ling opened the bag containing the matsutakes and asked curiously as she looked at the 15-cm long matsutakes.
"These are matsutakes, put them on a skewer and roast." Li Chengqian didn't know how to eat them either, but when they were by the barbecue grill, he supposed anything could be skewered and roasted. Surely it won't go wrong.
"Oh!"
After a while, Ding Ling finished skewering all the matsutakes and opened the bag containing the white truffles. Smelling the stench from the bag, she frowned. "Eh, Li Chengqian, what are these? Why is it so smelly!"
"These are white truffles. It's good stuff. They smell bad but taste good!" Li Chengqian explained.
"Is that so? I've never eaten it before. I want to have a good taste after I'm done roasting it." Ding Ling frowned and tried to get used to the special taste of white truffles.
"En, this is relatively rare. I found them all on the mountain. In a while, I'll call Uncle and Auntie over to taste it." Li Chengqian said as he placed the charcoal in the middle of the grill. After trying very hard, he finally started the fire.
"Li Chengqian, should I slice the radish?" At this time, Ding Ling took out a piece of ginseng from the bag.
"Leave it for the time being." Li Chengqian's lips twitched. This was clearly ginseng, ok? It was just a little bigger!
…
There were a lot of people in Peach Blossom Valley today. One of them was especially fat. His stomach was three times the size of an ordinary person's.
He was Huang Daliang, the owner and head chef of Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. His Western food was superb. He was undoubtedly number one in Tianyi City.
In addition to serving western cuisine, his restaurant also dealt with some precious ingredients.
"Why does it smell like white truffles?" Huang Daliang sniffed hard. The unique smell of truffles was especially strong, even more fragrant than the white truffles he had just spent a lot of money to import.
"It smells so good. Who's so rich to bring white truffles to Peach Blossom Mountain for barbecue?" Huang Daliang exclaimed. He sniffed hard again, trying to trace the source of the smell.
"This is definitely the smell of top-notch white truffles. It's even better than the batch I just bought. I have to ask this person where he bought it." Huang Daliang followed the smell and walked over. After taking a few steps, he saw Li Chengqian and Ding Ling preparing the food.
When he saw the fist-sized white truffle with uneven surfaces, Huang Daliang's breathing quickened. "This is the highest grade white truffle!"
Then, he saw Ding Ling wrap the white truffle in tin foil and place it beside the grill.
The plan was for whoever wanted to eat it later to just place it directly over the fire to roast.
"Decadence! What decadence! To barbecue a top grade white truffle. If it were left to me I would have made a luxurious feast out of it." Huang Daliang was heartbroken. It would have been fine if there was only one white truffle, but there were still nine more beside it. It looked like they would also be handled in the same manner!
If he had these truffles, one white truffle of this size could make his restaurant popular for a week.
"What a waste. No, I have to teach them how to eat white truffles." Huang Daliang couldn't help but walk toward Li Chengqian's barbecue grill.
Huang Daliang actually had other ideas. If he could buy the white truffles from Li Chengqian, that would be for the best. If he couldn't buy them, then they probably won't turn down his suggestion for him, a top western chef, to cook the white truffles for them.
After it was done, I would naturally be able to eat some.
Thinking of this, Huang Daliang almost drooled. The reason why he was a chef was because he was gluttonous and had no resistance to top-notch ingredients.
"Qingli, look, isn't that the owner of Tianyi Daliang Restaurant?" Huang Jingjing was handling the Australian lobsters when she looked up and saw Huang Daliang walking over. She hurriedly asked Jian Qingli.
The ingredients that their family ate today were all bought from Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. They usually purchase their expensive groceries from Tianyi Daliang Restaurant.
Therefore, they had met Huang Daliang a few times.
"Yes, it's him." Jian Qingli nodded and answered affirmatively.
"He's here to greet us, right?" Huang Jingjing said in surprise when she saw Huang Daliang walking straight over.
"That must be it. The Australian lobster, Kobe beef, and ginseng that we brought over for barbecue today were all from Tianyi Daliang Restaurant." Huang Jingjing was smiling very widely.
She was extremely pleased. She looked at Li Chengqian and Ding Ling, who were busy, and thought to herself, "This is the difference in life. This kid who only knew how to talk big will never have someone of a higher level come to greet him."
To have someone coming over to greet her, especially when this person had a higher social status. To her, it was her pride and her reason for feeling superior.
"I have to ask Qingli to keep a distance from Li Chengqian in the future."
"Hang out more with people who are capable."
After Huang Jingjing flipped the lobster, the sweet smell of lobster came out. She straightened up with a smile and watched Huang Daliang walk over.
"Boss Huang, you're here for leisure too?" Huang Jingjing was the first to speak. Then, she looked at Li Chengqian and Ding Ling proudly.
"That's right!" Huang Daliang casually glanced at Huang Jingjing. After realizing that they were not familiar with each other, he replied very casually. Without stopping, he walked straight to Li Chengqian and Ding Ling's side.
Huang Jingjing wanted to say something else, but when she realized that Huang Daliang was ignoring her, her expression turned awkward.
"Boss Huang is a busy man. He might have other important things to do," Huang Jingjing said to ease her awkwardness.
Then, she saw Huang Daliang standing in front of Li Chengqian and Ding Ling with a smile on his face. He asked very politely, "Sorry to disturb the two of you."
"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian glanced at Huang Daliang and realized that he didn't know him.
"It's like this. I want to ask, where did you buy this white truffle?" Huang Daliang pointed at the white truffle wrapped in tin foil.
"I run a western restaurant, so I'm very sensitive to the taste of these imported ingredients. The white truffles you two are using are of top grade, and I'm the gluttonous type. When I smelled the smell, I couldn't help but come over and ask," Huang Daliang said with an embarrassed expression.
"Oh, I just found these white truffles on the mountain. I didn't buy it." Li Chengqian told him the same story as he told the others. However, while the others would buy this story, it definitely wouldn't work for someone who knew truffles.
However, that was what he had just said to Ding Ling, so he could only bite the bullet and tell Huang Daliang the same.
But as he spoke, he winked at Huang Daliang.
"Little brother, do you think I don't know? Don't lie to me. White truffles of this grade cost more than 10,000 yuan per catty. They are only available overseas. These are all imported!" Huang Daliang's small eyes widened, as he gave a knowing look.
"Sigh, little brother, are your eyes not feeling well? Why are you blinking all the time?" Seeing Li Chengqian continuously blinking, he couldn't help but ask.
Ding Ling was holding a small knife in her hand and carefully shaving the skin off the white truffles. After hearing what Huang Daliang said, she couldn't bear to peel any more. Her hands suddenly trembled and she almost cut herself. Then, she looked at Li Chengqian in shock and disbelief.
