Chapter 584: So what is the vow?
This was the first time Heath had encountered such a situation. After all, although Heath had entertained Mr. Ono before, Mr. Ono's wish was to eat a bowl of fried rice. After Heath made him a bowl of fried rice, Mr. Ono passed away. So Heath felt that if the roasted sweet potatoes were indeed Mrs. Shui Miao's wish , then Mrs. Shui Miao should have passed away after eating the roasted sweet potatoes. But now Mrs. Shui Miao was still sitting in front of Heath.
Heath immediately thought of a possibility, that is, old lady Shui Miao’s wish might not be to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
But now is not the time to ask old lady Shui Miao, because Heath has something else to do now, which is about the table of guests in front of him.
"...So, sir, what you mean is that you don't want to eat hot pot with soup?" Heath looked at the table of guests in front of him with a normal were four people, two men and two women, and they seemed to be two couples. This was not very strange. After all, the weather was cold, and it was very normal for couples to make appointments to go out for dinner.
It's just that what the two guests said was a little weird, and Zoroark couldn't solve it, so he had to trouble Heath. After Heath heard their request, he was a little confused at first. After all, if there is no soup in the hot pot, how should the food be cooked? But soon Heath thought of something else.
"Yes, can you do it here?" asked the more handsome boy among the two boys, and Heath nodded. Although this question sounded like a deliberate nitpicking at first glance, it was actually not particularly difficult.
"Of course you can, but without the soup, we can't add those ingredients later. Please choose what you plan to eat in advance." Heath smiled. Wouldn't a hot pot without soup just become a dry pot?
Dry pot, this way of eating is also quite unique, but in fact the earliest dry pot is to fry the food and pour it into a pot. Because there is no soup, it becomes a dry pot, but in fact it is no different from pouring it directly into a plate and serving it to the customers, so this way of eating is naturally not acceptable. What Heath plans to make is another kind of dry pot, which is more like a stewing pot than a dry pot, in this way it feels a little bit like hot pot.
Fortunately, the four guests did not complain but agreed directly. After Heath collected the ingredients they needed, he took the list and walked back to the kitchen. Heath had never made duck and green onion in a stew, so Heath had to do it himself.
Stewing pot is actually not particularly complicated and is very simple to make. If you have to say what the difference is, it is probably that you need to wait for a while. Generally, more sophisticated stewing pots will be made in front of the guests. The advantage of this is that the guests can see how the food is cooked without having any doubts about whether the chef has prepared it in the kitchen and then served it.
The method of cooking food in a stew pot is actually very simple. Simply put, it is to steam it with water vapor and then cover it with a lid. However, this method also has some problems. It is necessary to take into account the differences in ingredients. Some ingredients are difficult to flavor, so they need to be marinated in advance. Sometimes they need to be cut a few times to facilitate subsequent processing.
After a while, Heath put the ingredients in a pot and brought it out, then started to stew it in front of the guests. At the same time, he reminded them that they had to wait for him to come and open the lid before they could eat it. Then Heath returned to the kitchen and began to prepare the seasonings needed for the stew.
Although there was already some sauce in the stew pot, Heath saw the taste preferences and food requirements of the four guests, so Heath still planned to make it a little heavier. These four guests all have particularly strong tastes, which is quite convenient. When eating, it is inevitable to accommodate some, either to accommodate the dietary taboos of companions, or to accommodate the tastes. Therefore, the main reason why many people still like to eat alone is that otherwise, when a group of people go out to eat, one doesn't eat fish, another is allergic to shrimps, and another doesn't want to eat beef, and some like spicy food, and some don't eat spicy food at all, it would be a torture.
Therefore, many people order a little bit of everything when they eat. The advantage of this is that everyone's taste can be catered for. Of course, some troublemakers are not excluded. Even if the feelings of those people have been taken into consideration, they can still find various reasons to blame others.
"Old lady, what is your wish?" Heath was making the sauce while looking at the old lady beside him. He felt a little complicated. He always felt that he was cheated by the old lady, but he could not find any evidence.
"Haha, I don't know either. I was thinking about eating some roasted sweet potatoes before I died, but then..." The old lady's expression suddenly paused, and then her eyes became blurred and confused, as if she was seriously thinking about what her wish was at that time.
Heath had no intention of disturbing them, but continued to make his own sauce. When it was done, he looked at the time, went out to add the sauce, and then let the guests eat.
When Heath returned to the kitchen with the plates, the old lady was sitting on a stool nearby with a very strange expression on her face.
"Have you thought about it?" Heath asked the old lady in front of him. This question was really crucial. If he could find the old lady's wish, he could send the old lady back.
"I remember now. I want to become younger. Hahaha~ Am I greedy?" The old lady said with a smile. Heath's mouth twitched. If this was his wish...
Heath briefly explained to the old lady the magic of the ghost world. The old lady would only become younger and younger in that world, and it would not be a problem for her to restore her youthful appearance at that time.
"You mean, all the dead are in that world?" The old lady suddenly became excited. Heath was stunned for a moment, but still nodded. There is no other world in this world, so all the dead should indeed be in that world.
Who would have thought that after hearing these words, Mrs. Shui Miao really turned into light and disappeared in front of Heath. Heath was stunned for a few seconds. He looked at the empty kitchen and touched his face. Wow, he just said it casually, but the old lady fulfilled her wish?
Heath was a little confused, but that was a good thing. Thinking about what the old lady had just said, Heath felt that he seemed to have guessed something.
"I think I know her wish."
