Chapter 201 Not Eating Cilantro
Chapter 201 Not Eating Cilantro
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu casually explained, "That's right, these scallions, garlic, and cilantro grow quickly, so you don't need to buy too much at once, otherwise they won't be fresh. We'll be selling more gradually later."
"Thank you, Boss Xia. We're relieved to hear that you're absolutely right."
"That's exactly what I was waiting for."
"Then I'll buy less. Just give me two pounds of each of these."
"Then I'll take a pound of each, and a couple more bunches of cilantro."
"I'd like two extra bunches of cilantro."
"Why do you all like cilantro? I don't like cilantro at all."
"Hey, that's because you don't know how to appreciate cilantro. It's delicious."
"Yes, yes, and don't you want to try Boss Xia's cilantro? It must taste really good."
The word "this" made Wang Liang hesitate. Yes, he didn't like cilantro, but none of the vegetables grown by Boss Xia were bad. It would be a pity if he missed it.
Finally, looking at the tender cilantro, he actually felt like he could try it.
Thinking of his family, although he didn't like it, his wife was okay with it, so he decided to buy it and let his wife and children try it.
"Alright then, Mr. Xia, give me a bunch of cilantro."
"Okay, it's all 15 yuan per jin, everyone can take what they want."
"Okay," everyone agreed and began making payments.
After all, these seasonings are light and don't cost a lot of money.
Everyone paid and ordered a batch, and Xia Shiyu slowly packed them up for everyone and had them taken back.
Wang Liang returned home carrying a bag of scallions, garlic, and cilantro. Once home, he picked out the cilantro first, feeling he couldn't quite accept the taste.
His wife was quite curious when she saw that he had bought scallions, garlic, and cilantro. "Where did you buy these? We don't need any more at home right now."
After all, garlic can be used in cooking sometimes, and scallions and cilantro are not often kept at home unless someone really likes them, not to mention that Wang Liang hates cilantro.
Wang Liang placed the vegetables on the table. "These are Boss Xia's vegetables. He didn't notify me in advance. I just bought them at the market today."
When Wang Liang said that, his wife understood. "Oh, it's Boss Xia's food. We should definitely buy some. But you don't like cilantro, so why did you buy a bunch?"
"Don't we still have your favorite dishes at home? Besides, Mr. Xia's dishes are so delicious, it should be nice to try them."
"Alright, since you're so keen on it, we'll add it in and try it out later. I'll make some soup for lunch anyway."
Wang Liang's wife went inside, washed the pot, and prepared to stew something.
"Okay, I'll go wash the vegetables first."
As Wang Liang was talking, he went to wash the vegetables.
After washing the vegetables, I saw my wife throw in a big bunch of cilantro and scallions after the soup was almost done simmering, and the aroma immediately filled the air.
"Mmm, it smells really good."
Wang Liang sighed, "Before, when I put these things in the soup, I couldn't really smell them unless I got close, but now the aroma is so strong."
"I'll scoop out a big bowlful first, and you can take it to Mom and Dad later."
Wang's parents also live on this floor; they were just downstairs, so it would be convenient to drop them off directly.
"Okay, I'll send it down right away."
After the soup was ready, Wang Liang carefully carried it down the steps using the heat-insulating mat.
"Be careful not to knock it over on the road, and avoid people."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Wang Liang agreed and took the elevator directly. He was too lazy to go up the stairs, and besides, he might have to take a step and then fall down.
He waited for the elevator to arrive and then went inside. There were some people from the community standing in the elevator.
Li Xing was playing on his phone when he suddenly smelled a strong, familiar fragrance.
He looked up in confusion, "What's going on? Why does it smell so good?"
He looked around and realized that the smell was coming from the elevator.
He glanced at the soup bowl Wang Liang was holding, which was covered with cilantro and chopped green onions, and knew that the aroma was coming from inside.
"It smells amazing, bro, your cilantro is incredibly fragrant."
The other people in the elevator turned around at this moment, "Yeah, yeah, it smells so good, I didn't expect it to smell this good."
"Your craftsmanship is excellent."
Wang Liang smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard these words, "It's nothing, just a simple home-cooked dish. The scallions and cilantro were bought at the market."
As they were talking, the elevator arrived, and Wang Liang quickly got out first, saying, "I'll chat with everyone later, I'm off now."
He went downstairs and strode away, carrying the heavy bowl of soup to the door. He called out to his parents, telling them they could open the door.
"Mom and Dad, please open the door soon. I've brought you some things."
"Hey, that sounds like Liangzi's voice. Let's go out and see."
The Queen Mother patted her husband.
"Okay, I'll go open the door." Mr. Wang got up and went to open the door.
When the door opened, Wang Liang was seen carrying a large soup bowl inside.
"Oh dear, hurry up and put it in the living room, be careful it's hot, it's so inconvenient."
"It's okay, it's okay, I used an insulating pad to keep it in place, and what's inconvenient about going upstairs or downstairs?"
Wang Liang carefully placed the soup bowl on the living room table.
Only after placing the soup bowl in the middle did he have time to speak.
"Alright, alright," Wang's father shook his head, but he was still pleased, because no matter what, it meant that his son was thinking of them.
"Wow, this dish smells so good!"
As the Queen Mother approached, she was about to speak when she smelled a rich fragrance.
Wang Liang said, "This must be the aroma from the bowl. Aqin put in a big handful of cilantro and scallions, and the cilantro flavor is especially strong."
The Queen Mother asked curiously, "Oh, I see. But don't you dislike cilantro? Why would Aqin put cilantro in it?"
Wang Liang said, "I bought this from Boss Xia. Everyone said it was good, so I bought it to try."
"Oh, I see. No wonder."
Boss Xia is a household name these days. As soon as you mention Boss Xia's name, everyone understands that Xia Shiyu's dishes are all in high demand.
"Alright, that's kind of you. Go back and have dinner with Aqin. The two of us are perfect for you."
"Okay, then I'll go back to eat first." Wang Liang turned and went upstairs after seeing that the food had been delivered.
When they got home, Aqin had already prepared the meal.
"Here, I've prepared all the food for you, come and eat."
"Okay, okay, I'll come and eat now."
As Wang Liang spoke, he first glanced at the cilantro in the bowl, tempted by its aroma, but hesitated because of his previous resistance. In the end, he took a bite with a sense of resignation.
Then his eyes lit up again, "Wow, the cilantro my wife makes is really different from other cilantro!"
