Chapter 139 : Shimen Yihshyong

After everyone entered, Tsaehorng closed the door. He guided them up to the first floor through a staircase only about four meters from the door where they had just entered. Upstairs, there's a lot of room. Tsaehorng didn't guide them into any of the rooms. He went up again to the floor above the floor they were standing on. Arriving on the second floor, he also did not stop. Only then, on the third floor, did Tsaehorng walk into one room on that floor.

Arriving at the door, he immediately opened the door that looked quite luxurious. The room behind the door turned out to be enormous. This room was similar to a karaoke room, but it was equipped with a large dining table. Tsaehorng invited them to sit on the chairs in front of the table.

Tsaehorng pressed a button on the doorbell attached to the wall. It wasn't long before someone entered.

"Good afternoon Mr. Mingju." The person bowed respectfully.

"Good afternoon." Tsaehorng's voice was so authoritative. Much different from before.

The person who turned out to be a waiter at the restaurant gave them a menu list. Yinqyueh grabbed the menu straight away. She immediately flipped through the menu. Her eyes sparkled.

"What's the special food here?" Shannchyuan asked.

"We don't have such a mainstay here. There are certain foods that we promote. But these particular foods change every day." The waiter nodded politely.

"But there's still a regular menu, right?" Yihshyong looked straight at the waiter.

"Yes, Sir! You can order everything that is written on the menu now." The waiter pointed to the menu Yinqyueh was reading.

"Then what's the surprise menu for today?" Tsaehorng asked.

"Today, we serve horse steak with sweet and sour sauce, horse stew with soy sauce, and smoked horse meat with black pepper seasoning!"

Instantly, Shannchyuan and Yinqyueh looked at each other.

Yihshyong could only wonder in his heart. He didn't understand the meaning of their glances at each other. Horse meat was not very common to eat, but that did not mean that no one ate it. A few months ago, Yihshyong had tried eating horse meat jerky. The meat was so tough! Maybe the jerky came from old horse meat pulling carriages, so the meat wasn't up to par.

"Uncle, do you want to try horse meat?" Tsaehorng's words sounded like an invitation.

"Of course! I wonder what smoked horse meat looks like with black pepper." Shannchyuan answered quickly.

"I want a horse steak in sweet and sour sauce," Yinqyueh said.

"Then I'd like horse stew with soy sauce." Yihshyong raised his right hand.

"Today, I'm in the mood to eat shrimp. So I just asked for boiled giant prawns," said Tsaehorng.

"You don't want to try horse meat?" Yihshyong asked.

"I've tried several times to eat these dishes here, Uncle." Tsaehorng smiled.

In addition, they ordered several other additional dishes listed on the menu. The waiter said that the order would be ready in about twenty minutes. After he excused himself, the waiter speedily disappeared behind the door.

The waiter's words weren't just empty promises. About twenty minutes later, the dishes they ordered arrived. Contrary to Yihshyong's expectations, the horse meat they served was very tender. Not at all tough or hard. Either because they only used meat from young horses or because they cooked using specific techniques to tenderize the meat. It tastes good too.

The food taste in that restaurant was similar to the taste of food from their place of origin. So many herbs and spices were used. Maybe Tsaehorng deliberately invited them to eat at that place to suit their tastes. In fact, Yihshyong and the others had no problem if they had to eat dishes with a distinct taste from the food in their hometown.
