have you decided what you'd like to eat
we would like one serving of taste of
the sea flourishing blossoms and
abundant wealth along with one egg
pudding and one flower cake minglang
paused for a moment my portions are
quite generous are you too sure you can
finish them it's all right if we can't
finish we can take the leftovers to
enjoy later we want he waste it very
well please wait here a moment Ming
langang replied before heading to the
kitchen to prepare their order
after minglang entered the kitchen an
elderly man strolled into the restaurant
locking eyes with G on G habitually
scanning her surroundings Gian G
recognized the elderly man as the
village Chief this Village known as
gisher Village is specifically
designated for markets and since this
particular Market is hosted by haing
Island it is also referred to as the
haing market The Village Chief smiled
warmly at Gian G and her companion you
two must be the stall owners for this
Market you are quite fortunate to have
found found the best restaurant in the
village Gian politely acknowledged the
chief yes we came here after hearing
from Grandma mingua that the food is
excellent the chief nodded thoughtfully
before leisurely making his way to a
table at the back mingua is a wonderful
person you won't regret staying at her
information and Gian sensed a deeper
meaning in the chief's words but felt
reassured that her choice of in was
indeed a good one minglang emerged from
the kitchen with several plates heading
straight to gian's table your food has
arrived giangi gave at the three
perplexing dishes before her and cin T
help but asked Ming Lang could you
please introduce these dishes to us Ming
Lang somewhat impatient snapped back to
reality and pointed at the poached
ribbon fish stating this is the taste of
the sea she then gestured to the s ed
meat with flower petals saying this is
flourishing blossoms finally she
indicated the stir-fried okra with eggs
remarking and this is abundant wealth
the remaining two desserts were
recognizable enough for Gian G to foro
further explan explation Ming Lang then
went to inquire what the village Chief
would like to eat Gian G hesitated
extending her Chopsticks toward the
taste of the sea carefully picking up a
piece of fish to taste a strong fishy
flavor assaulted her senses and gang G
fought back her nausea to swallow the
fish unconvinced she tried a bite of
flourishing blossoms finding it merely
salty at least it was somewhat palatable
the flavor of abundant wealth was akin
to that of flourishing blossoms
differing only in the ingredients used
donu was relishing the meal while Gian
reluctantly finished her bowl of rice
yet a significant portion of the three
dishes remained they then turned their
attention to the desserts the egg
pudding was overwhelmingly fishy and
Gian G could only manage to eat half
before feeling full whereas the flower
cake was delightful sweet and crispy and
Gian G devoured the entire thing upon
seeing the two with plates still half
full mingling asked what is wrong don't
you like the food giangi quickly shook
her head no no it's just that we ve been
busy all morning and don't have much of
an appetite minglang replied with an O
then continued do you have any
suggestions for the dishes I prepared
Gian G pondered for a moment before
suggesting the taste of the sea has a
bit of a fishy taste perhaps adding some
ingredients to mitigate that such as
Ginger and scallions would improve it
the egg pudding has a similar issue
incorporating some lemon juice or
vanilla seeds would make it much more
enjoyable minglang's eyes brightened you
can make desserts Gian nodded yes my
stall primarily sells desserts Ming
langang immediately pulled up a chair
beside Gian G asking what ask your stall
