Little Quan didn’t refuse. After he thanked her with a smile, he led the two of them to the private room.

This private room was indeed quite private. Other than the place where they came, which faced the courtyard, there were green plants planted beside all the other windows.

The room seemed comfortable and relaxing.

Soon, a few dishes were served.

After Meng Yan brought chopsticks, she urged Li Xiaoran to try them. After all, dishes tasted the best when they were just out of the pot.

If it cooled down later, the taste wouldn’t be as delicious.

It had to be said that these dishes tasted delicious.

This fish, in particular, had a special eating method.

After boiling a pot of soup, she shook the fish slices that had been cut into thin slices but had not completely left the fish’s body and added them to the pot.

By the time the residual temperature in the soup boiled the fish slices, the temperature of the soup was just right.

At this moment, she picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and took it out of the bowl. Then, she savored the taste carefully. The fish meat was very fresh and tasty.

“Not bad. I didn’t like fish in the past, but I’m in love with this dish!” Meng Yan praised as she ate.

Li Xiaoran didn’t speak and only ate silently.

Whenever a foodie encountered delicious food, they wouldn’t praise it loudly, but tasted it first.

It was better to take advantage of this time to eat more delicious food.

Meng Yan didn’t waste her breath anymore. Whenever a dish was served, the two of them would taste it silently.

There were a total of six new dishes. After eating them, the two of them were full.

While they were resting, a man in his early forties walked into the private room.

“I wonder if these new dishes suit your taste?”

When Meng Yan saw who it was, she laughed.

“Uncle Chuan, your culinary skills are superb! I really like these new dishes. I can’t find any fault with them!” Uncle Chuan said with a smile, “Miss Meng, you’re too polite. Every time we cook new dishes, you say that they’re superb. This isn’t conducive to us improving our dishes!”

“But I can’t say anything bad about it. Uncle Chuan, what do you want me to say?!” Meng Yan felt very helpless!

She felt that these dishes were very delicious and that the customers would definitely like them.

Uncle Chuan had no choice but to look at Li Xiaoran, who had been silent.

“How should I address vou. Madam?”

“Uncle Chuan, this is my good friend, Li Xiaoran. Just call her Miss Li!” Meng

Yan knew that Li Xiaoran didn’t want to expose her identity, so she spoke first.

“That’s right, Uncle Chuan, you can call me Xiaoran!” Li Xiaoran said readily, “No matter what, you’re an elder, so you can call me Xiaoran!”

When Uncle Chuan heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he said, “I wonder if you have any good suggestions after tasting these new dishes?” Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard Uncle Chuan’s words.

“There are indeed some problems!”

As soon as she said this, Meng Yan and Uncle Chuan looked at her in surprise.

To be honest, Uncle Chuan was very satisfied with the new dishes. He was just being polite, but he didn’t expect this new customer to really say that there was a problem.

Uncle Chuan was a cautious person and respected every customer who gave him suggestions, so he asked humbly.

“Miss Xiaoran, please continue!”

Meng Yan also looked at Li Xiaoran. From the way she interacted with Li Xiaoran today, Li Xiaoran wasn’t the kind of person who spoke without thinking.

“What’s the problem?! Xiaoran, don’t leave us hanging. Tell us quickly!”

Li Xiaoran nodded as she picked up her chopsticks. Then, she pointed at a chicken soup stewed with mushrooms.

“This dish is quite standard. It’s not considered innovative! Although it tastes very good, there’s a huge problem. After drinking this soup, my tongue felt a slight numbness. At first, I thought that my taste buds were hallucinating because I ate other dishes, but after I rinsed my mouth with clear water and tasted this soup again, the numbness in my tongue became even more intense!”

When Uncle Chuan heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately shocked. Then, he quickly took out a spoon from a food box and scooped a mouthful for himself to taste.

As expected, after drinking the soup, there was a slight numbness on the tip of his tongue.

To be honest, if one didn’t have a sharp sense of taste, one wouldn’t have noticed this abnormality at all.

“I don’t know what kind of fungus you used, but even if this fungus doesn’t cause much harm to most people, we still can’t let our guard down. If anything happens to a customer after he drinks this chicken soup, I believe you and the others won’t be able to bear the responsibility!” When Li Xiaoran saw Uncle Chuan’s expression turn solemn, she knew that he had already tasted the numbness.

“There’s also this dish. The chicken tastes very good, but the problem is the chicken itself. In order to pursue the tenderness of the chicken and not let it get dry, Uncle Chuan, you strictly controlled the heat and boiling time. If I’m not mistaken, Uncle Chuan, you blanched the chicken with high heat. This ensured that the chicken was tender and juicy, but you neglected a problem: the chicken has a fishy taste! ” Li Xiaoran continued.

“Although the chicken meat is soaked in those delicious condiments, at the end of the meal, although the taste of the condiments is apparent, the fishy taste also comes out!”

When Uncle Chuan heard this, he quickly took out chopsticks from the food box and picked up a piece of chicken to taste it carefully.

Li Xiaoran was right. When the chicken was chewed, the fishy taste was still apparent.

If the customer chewed and swallowed the meat in big mouthfuls, he naturally wouldn’t taste it.

However, if the customer tasted it carefully, he would taste the fishy taste of the chicken.

“The last dish has a problem, so this is my favorite fish slice.” With that, Li Xiaoran pointed at another dish.

“Huh? This fish is very delicious! Why is there a problem with this dish?” Meng

Yan, who had been standing at the side and listening, couldn’t help but ask.

Li Xiaoran was clearly eating with relish just now. Why was she saying that there was a problem with this dish now?

Uncle Chuan was also puzzled. He wasn’t surprised that there were problems with the other dishes, but this live fish dish was his best dish!

Why was there a problem with this dish?

After seeing the confusion in their eyes, Li Xiaoran took a sip of water and said, “There’s nothing wrong with the taste of this dish! The problem is the fish itself.. “
