Chapter 649: 064 New clothes, sentimental_1

The soup only had a bit of salt in it, but it was this very basic taste that brought out the fragrance of the fish balls and the freshness and sweetness of the fish meat. It could be said that the flavor of the fish balls had deeply penetrated the soup, giving it a unique and delightful taste.

"Mr. Jin, how is it? Please say something!" The young boss was already too impatient to wait, his eyes nearly bursting with fire.

Jin Can smacked his lips, excitedly slapped the table, and said "good" three times in a row: "Good! Good! Good!"

For Jin Can, this was already the highest praise.

Shopkeeper Wu had said that Jin Can had only uttered one "good" after eating the food prepared by Drunken Immortal Residence’s chef. Now that he had said three "goods" in a row, it suggested that his own culinary skills must be not far behind those of Drunken Immortal Residence’s mysterious chef, or perhaps it could be said that they were even slightly superior.

Xia Zheng smugly hooked the corner of his lips, taking hold of Lin Yuan’s hand with his. He knew it, how could his woman possibly be outdone by some mysterious chef!

Shopkeeper Wu couldn’t help but reassess Lin Yuan with newfound respect. In fact, the fish balls were leftovers from the breakfast Lin Yuan had made for Xiao Linshuang that morning. Originally, when Lin Yuan asked him to warm them up and send them over, he was a bit uncertain and complained that the boss was being too casual. But now, it seemed he had greatly underestimated the boss’s capability. These two bosses were truly more demonically talented than the other.

The young boss who had invited Jin Can to eat had apparently never heard such high praise from him, and was momentarily startled, not sure how to react. The other accompanying guests looked at each other, as if to confirm they hadn’t misheard.

It wasn’t until Jin Can put the remaining half of the fish ball in his mouth that they all suddenly realized what was happening. Looking at each other, they quickly grabbed their chopsticks and dove into the plate of fish balls.

There were many people, but only five fish balls remained—oh no, the young boss couldn’t wait any longer and had already grabbed two with his hands and left. How could three fish balls be enough to share? A commotion of chopsticks ensued, with no one willing to yield to the other.

Suddenly, there was a loud snap, and the plate was somehow flipped over by someone’s chopsticks, shattering on the floor.

The young boss watched the broken pieces on the ground in shock, feeling a pang of distress. These delicious fish balls—he hadn’t had his fill yet, how could they end up on the floor?

But what shocked them even more was that the remaining three fish balls on the floor unexpectedly bounced up the moment they hit the ground!

The three fish balls bounced around until the third bounce, when they finally ceased flying upwards and rolled to the side.

Even Jin Can was surprised by this turn of events. He knew about the springiness of fish balls, but he had never anticipated that they could bounce with such vigor. This was truly magical!

The other diners also watched this unusual scene in amazement, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent. It was unclear how long it took, or who it was, but someone suddenly inhaled sharply and exclaimed, "For real? I want to try too!"

Then, to Lin Yuan’s annoyance, the entire hall stopped eating, and everyone started playing with a fish ball in their own plates. Although none bounced as high or as frequently as the three before, bouncing them while eating was indeed very satisfying.

Even some customers who hadn’t ordered fish balls at first were now clamoring for the waiters to hurry up and serve them a plate, as if afraid they would miss out to someone else.

On the second floor, Lin Yuan watched with amusement as the people below enjoyed themselves, while Xia Zheng and Shopkeeper Wu were still in shock. Could such a fun thing really be edible?

In fact, the ultimate goal in making fish balls was to ensure they had elasticity and strength, which is why Lin Yuan stressed the need to properly beat the fish meat. Furthermore, Lin Yuan’s standard for testing the quality of fish balls while teaching the chefs was their ability to bounce. Therefore, the current scene didn’t surprise her at all.

However, what truly surprised her was the effect this event had—within just half a day, the news that Fragrant Full Building’s fish balls could bounce had spread throughout Yecheng. That evening, Fragrant Full Building’s business boomed, and the fish balls sold out.

It was foreseeable that Drunken Immortal Residence would probably have a few quiet days ahead.
