Chapter 2243 - I Think I Can Eat a Little More

The congee with pork and century egg opened up Syndra’s appetite and the white, tender, and bulging soup dumpling made her even more expectant.

“It looks very springy.” Vanessa used a finger to poke the soup dumpling gently. The soup dumpling shook a little. It was a very soft feeling but it was not fragile.

“Such a thin skin could hold so much soup. How should I eat this?” Syndra looked at the soup dumpling in confusion.

“Let me take a look.” Vanessa flipped open the menu and found the column for the soup dumpling very quickly. There was a ‘how to eat’ section written at the bottom corner in small words.

“Pick up the soup dumpling gently by the little tip with your chopsticks. Put the soup dumpling on your plate and bite a little hole on the top of the dumpling. Wait for the soup to cool before sipping on it. Lastly, eat the dumpling skin and filling.”

Vanessa read out loud as she picked up the soup dumpling according to the instructions. The round soup dumpling was elongated because of the weight and looked as though it was about to burst open. However, it hung on firmly and Vanessa managed to move it successfully onto her plate.

“Success!” Vanessa exclaimed while she let out a heave of relief.

To think that this thin, translucent skin could be so tough.

Syndra thought it looked interesting. She placed a soup dumpling carefully in her bowl, afraid that she would tear it or drop it on the table. She was clenching her other hand tightly into a fist due to the nerves.

After the two exchanged a few glances, Syndra, who was already salivating, could not resist the urge anymore. She poked the dumpling and it felt warm to touch. She said, “I think it’s ready.”

As she said that, she leaned over and bit a small hole on the dumpling’s skin.

The soup rushed right into her mouth immediately.

Tsssss!

Hot!

The soup dumpling that was just served might feel warm on the outside, but the soup inside was still scalding hot.

One bite and the fresh soup flooded into her mouth.

The fragrance of the crab roe was so alluring. The soup was so delicious that it woke her taste buds up immediately.

As for the scald, before it could even happen, the scrumptious taste had already overwhelmed it.

In no time at all, Syndra had finished the soup and only the dumpling skin and filling were left.

The skin was chewy and the meat filling that had been submerged in the soup was fatty but not greasy. Together with the crab meat and crab roe, it was a taste that sent Syndra to cloud nine.

If the congee with pork and century egg was just an appetizer, this extremely delicious soup dumpling was the one that made her experience the beauty of delicacies and the joy of living.

Yes. Only when you’re living can you experience such magical food.

She could enjoy both the soup, the chewiness of the dumpling skin, and the tastiness of the meat.

The little soup dumpling incorporated the chef’s innovation to bring customers such a special experience. It really interested her.

A deeper desire from within rose. Syndra wanted to see for herself how the soup dumpling was made. How was the soup wrapped into the thin dumpling skin?

With her status, Syndra had never stepped foot into the kitchen, much less cooked.

This thought made her shake her head with a smile.

“Mm! This is too good! Boss Mag secretly made such a delicious breakfast behind my back!” Vanessa, who had also eaten a soup dumpling, exclaimed excitedly.

The delicious soup dumpling brought joy and hope to the exhausted and depressed mother-and-daughter, even making them forget their sorrows momentarily.

“There are good things in life too, right?”

They sipped on the soup and chewed on the filling and dumpling skin, tasting the delicacies that one would not be able to get even in the palace in Rodu.

“Gulp.”

The palace maid at the side swallowed her saliva and shifted her gaze.

As the Queen’s personal palace maid, she was professionally trained and would not crave for even the best delicacies.

However, her defenses came crumbling down today when she saw the Queen and Princess eat this soup dumpling, and when she smelled the fragrance of the crab roe and meat filling.

“What heavenly smell is that?” She had never felt such an impact despite delivering various delicacies from the royal kitchen to the inner palace every day.

Of course, the most important thing was curiosity.

What would a soup dumpling with such a heavenly smell taste like?

What’s the difference between normal meat soup and the soup wrapped within the thin soup dumpling?

Vanessa bit onto her third soup dumpling. She leaned forward and sipped softly. Just when she looked up, she saw Mag holding a lump of dough in one hand and the cleaver in another hand, slicing up pieces of dough.

The pieces of dough flew out from the lump of dough and leaped into a boiling pot of soup like silver fishes. Mag moved smoothly, connecting his movements gracefully.

Vanessa did not want to let go of the dumpling in her mouth so she motioned Syndra with her hand to look toward the kitchen.

Syndra turned to look and was surprised.

The scene of Mag slicing the dough looked like an artistic performance. His actions were adept and natural and he looked calm but full of life.

In no time at all, the last piece of dough landed in the pot. Mag put away his cleaver and put the dough down. He picked up his spatula and started getting busy.

Very quickly, Mag brought out a bowl of red braised beef shaved noodles from the kitchen and put it in front of Vanessa.

The beef slices covered the entire surface of the bowl and it looked very satisfying.

“Boss Mag, did you add meat especially for me?” Vanessa asked Mag as her eyes glittered.

“No, every customer gets the same dish.” Mag shook his head.

“He doesn’t even know how to make a girl happy.” Vanessa pouted. What a daft man.

“But I added an egg,” Mag said with a smile and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Vanessa used her chopsticks to peel the beef slices away and saw an egg fried to perfection. She smiled sweetly.

Vanessa took out a small bowl and put some shaved noodles in it for Syndra, and scooped some red braised beef to split the portion up.

“I am already full…” Syndra was about to finish her words when Vanessa put a piece of red braised beef into her mouth.

The tender red braised beef melted almost immediately in her mouth but it was still chewy. The fragrance of the beef was brought out completely by the seasoning and the more she chewed the better it tasted. The taste lingered in her mouth and enchanted her.

“I think I can eat a little more.” Syndra pulled the bowl over and scooped up some shaved noodles.

The shaved noodles were as fair as white jade and they were much broader than the usual noodles she saw. On top of that, the noodles were not evenly-shaped square pieces but more like willow leaves. They were thin on the sides and thicker in the middle with obvious sharp ends.
