Chapter 103: Let Me Demonstrate
Seating himself slowly, Qi Poxiao didn't glance in the direction of Tang Qianqiu. Instead, he nonchalantly examined the price list on the wall. After a while, he beckoned for Fu Ya to come over, then smiled and spoke.
"Bring me a serving of Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb and a serving of Dragon Whisker Noodles."
After ordering the dishes, Qi Poxiao leaned back in his chair, gazing at Tai Lei. "These Dragon Whisker Noodles seem somewhat similar to your Tang Sect's Dragon Beard Needle. I wonder if they are as fine as hair, just like the Dragon Beard Needle."
Are you talking to me?
Tai Lei was a bit confused. He seemed to have no connection with this Strong Cloud Douluo, but considering the person's seniority and strength, Tai Lei was about to respond when he heard a calm voice from the side.
"It's probably just a coincidence in names; this kid likely hasn't even seen my Tang Sect's Dragon Beard Needle."
Alright, Tai Lei closed his mouth.
Clearly, the two big shots weren't eager to engage in direct conversation. What's the point of using cross-server chat?
I, Tai Lei, am ultimately an insignificant figure.
The Xiaolongbao were already prepared in advance, so the dishes were served quickly. Shortly after Qi Poxiao ordered, the Xiaolongbao for the five members of the Tang Sect were brought to the table. Yu Hua and Zhao Yunsheng shared one basket, while Nie Yu and Tai Lei each had their own.
Four vinegar dishes were also brought to the table.
Qi Han had instructed Fu Ya in advance about the unique way to eat the Xiaolongbao. First-time diners needed to be informed of the eating method.
However, before she could speak, a bold voice rang out. "Huh, are these buns? How can such a small one be filling?" Before Fu Ya could react, Tai Lei grabbed one of the Xiaolongbao, put it directly into his mouth, chewed for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes, closed his mouth tightly, and sucked in a cold breath.
Caught off guard, Tai Lei got scalded by the soup inside the Xiaolongbao.
Fu Ya's face stiffened, and she quickly spoke, "Although these Xiaolongbao may look similar to buns, they are different. They have soup inside, so the eating method is quite special." She quickly explained the eating method of the Xiaolongbao to everyone.
No time to waste; Tai Lei was about to eat another one.
After hearing the eating method, everyone suddenly realized why Tai Lei behaved so strangely. Zhao Yunsheng, in particular, cast a disdainful glance at him.
How embarrassing; this elegant way of eating Xiaolongbao, and Tai Lei was chewing them like tough beef.
Thinking this, Zhao Yunsheng followed Fu Ya's instructions, picked up one Xiaolongbao with chopsticks, bit a small hole at the top, gently blew a few times, and then sucked in forcefully.
The rich and fragrant soup instantly filled Zhao Yunsheng's mouth. After a brief taste, his eyes lit up.
Good stuff!
The soup, although not as delicious as the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb, was still a rare delicacy. Who would have thought that eating Xiaolongbao would also allow one to enjoy soup?
Quite interesting.
The taste of the soup spread in Zhao Yunsheng's mouth. He glanced at the slightly deflated Xiaolongbao due to sucking away the soup, then dipped it in the vinegar dish and directly put it into his mouth.
After a slight chew, his eyes lit up even more.
The elastic texture of the dough, the fresh and tender meat filling, and the sour and refreshing taste of the vinegar – truly, it was a delightful experience, beyond words.
Yu Hua's movements were similar to Zhao Yunsheng's. Soon, he also felt the charm of these Xiaolongbao. Whether it was the soup inside or the buns themselves, they were both rare delicacies.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Hua lifted his head and found his Sect Master staring at him.
Both of them fell silent simultaneously.
Tang Qianqiu felt a bit tempted. He had never seen such exquisite Xiaolongbao before. Seeing Zhao Yunsheng and Yu Hua enjoying them so much, he wanted to taste them too. However, he hadn't ordered any, and he hesitated to ask Zhao Yunsheng and Yu Hua to share.
Yu Hua, pondering, realized that only their Sect Master at the table hadn't tried the Xiaolongbao yet. How could this be?
However, he hesitated when he looked at the steamer in front of him. Originally, they were sharing with Zhao Yunsheng, and each person could only eat five. If he gave some to the Sect Master, there would be even fewer for himself.
Or maybe...
Yu Hua's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Old Nie, I suddenly feel like you ordered too much food. What do you think?"
Nie Yu had just put a Xiaolongbao into his mouth and raised his head in confusion at the words.
Too much?
Why did Old Nie feel like it was too little?
Then, he saw Yu Hua subtly gesturing to him.
After so many years of being old buddies, they had some tacit understanding. Nie Yu contemplated for a moment and got it!
He chuckled, "Sect Master, it seems like I ordered too much. How about you help me eat a few Xiaolongbao?"
The eye exchange between the two couldn't escape Tang Qianqiu's notice, but thinking that he could taste these delicious Xiaolongbao, he decided to play dumb for now, "Hehe, sure, I'll help you eat two."
On the other side, Tai Lei recovered from the hot soup and heard Fu Ya's explanation. He realized the awkward situation he had created. However, he had thick skin and didn't blush at all. Just as he was about to follow Fu Ya's advice and eat another one, he suddenly saw a pair of chopsticks reaching into his steamer.
What the heck...
When I stick chopsticks into someone else's plate, there's actually someone daring enough to stick chopsticks into my plate?
Tai Lei's anger flared up in an instant. However, when he raised his head and saw the owner of the chopsticks, he immediately suppressed his anger and smiled awkwardly, "Senior, isn't this inappropriate?"
Qi Poxiao chuckled benevolently, "Tai Lei, I'm acquainted with your grandpa. I even carried you when you were a child. You were quite mischievous back then and peed on me."
"So many years have passed, and you're still so mischievous. Getting all worked up over eating a Xiaolongbao is not good. Come, let me show you how it's done."
Tai Lei fell silent.
Strong Cloud Douluo?
The number one person on the continent?
He's just too shameless!
How old am I now? Almost eighty years old? This old guy dares to call me a child.
A child with white hair and a face like a thunder god?
You don't do anything useful!
Tai Lei felt bitter. He decided to seek help from his Sect Master.
Both the Sect Master and Strong Cloud Douluo are Limit Douluo, they should talk some sense into this.
"Sect Master."
He cast a pleading look at his Sect Master.
Tang Qianqiu savored the Xiaolongbao in his mouth until it was completely swallowed. Then he slowly spoke, "Tai Lei, eat quickly, or there won't be any left for you."
Qi Poxiao was shameless even when he was young; isn't this his true nature? It's not my business; you deal with it yourself.
Tai Lei turned around and saw Qi Poxiao's shaky hand reaching for his steamer, a look of despair on his face.
This is just too much!
