Chapter 176: Daily Life

That night, the Qin family of four found a mid-to-high-end restaurant near the mall with a so-so reputation. The prices weren't cheap, and the taste was nowhere near that of Huang Ji, and they had dinner there.

After eating, Qin Huai felt that this restaurant probably wouldn't last long.

It was unclear whether it was due to indifference or the chef's inadequate skills. The dishes that needed stir-frying didn't have the fire control right. If the cooking skills were lacking, they relied on starch to thicken; if the seasoning was off, they added pepper powder; and if that didn't work, they counted on rich ingredients.

Cooking emphasizes the pairing of ingredients; the dish's flavor can be rich but not greasy, fresh but not bland, paired but not mismatched. Beef and lamb are great dishes by themselves because they are inherently flavorful and distinct. Making them into a creative dish with a fancy name and stir-frying everything together recklessly is simply a waste of ingredients.
