Chapter 172: Turning the Tide
Strong Guy, upon hearing this, his expression changed from anger to surprise, then swiftly followed by a wave of embarrassment.
Under Su Yu’s calm and sharp gaze, his large frame somehow appeared constrained.
The surrounding murmurs included some that agreed with Su Yu’s words; evidently, many had already formed their judgments.
"Hmph, sharp-tongued girl, then tell me, what exactly is lacking in the dishes at Food Taste Restaurant?"
Strong Guy suppressed the displeasure in his heart but was ultimately spurred by curiosity and defiance, his tone carrying a challenging edge.
Su Yu stood up, lightly straightened her skirt, her demeanor elegant and composed.
"It’s not that the dishes are poor, but rather a subtle imbalance in cooking time and seasoning. Take the honey-glazed roast duck, for instance, its skin is crispy and the meat tender, certainly a fine dish, but the sweetness is slightly overpowering, masking the natural deliciousness of the duck; the pine nut corn as well, the aroma of the pine nuts hasn’t fully integrated, lacking a touch of harmony."
Her voice was calm, yet each word was precious and precise, every critique spot on, revealing her profound culinary background.
Strong Guy’s face underwent several changes, finally settling into deep contemplation.
The diners around nodded along, some even began tasting the dishes on their tables anew, trying to verify Su Yu’s comments.
Just then, a warm yet authoritative voice came from deeper within the restaurant, "Forgive our indiscretion, I am Manager Li Chengze of Food Taste Restaurant. My young apprentice was reckless, I hope for your understanding. Miss Su’s critiques are exceedingly apt, and Food Taste Restaurant is willing to humbly accept them, furthermore hoping to be fortunate enough to receive more guidance from the young lady."
