Chapter 166 Bruno
In L’Opera Restaurant.
Out of unwillingness to admit defeat, Cierra made another Braised Chicken with Red Wine for Dr. Charles. In addition, she also stir-fried a portion of vegetables. The first time had been too hasty and insincere compared with the second time.
However, since Dr. Charles came here again, it meant that Cierra’s cooking skills were still remarkable.
Moreover, Dr. Charles did not say that he would not treat her mother. He neither agreed nor refused, which showed that there was still hope.
“Dr. Charles, have a taste.”
”
Two dishes were placed in front of Dr. Charles. The fresh fragrance of chicken wafted out of the room along with the heat. The other dish was fresh and verdant. Just by looking at it, one’s appetite
would be aroused.
Dr. Charles liked delicious food. When Braised Chicken with Red Wine was placed in front of him, he couldn’t wait any longer. However, because Cierra was still in front of him, Dr. Charles put on the airs of an elder. It wasn’t until Cierra spoke that he picked up a piece of chicken and slowly put it
into his mouth.
“How does it taste?”
Watching the food enter Dr. Charles’s mouth, Cierra’s originally calm heart became a bit nervous, fearing that the food this time wouldn’t suit Dr. Charles’s appetite.
This time, she didn’t use the recipe taught by Freddy of L’Opera Restaurant. She added the rest of the spices to make the chicken taste better. She didn’t use her own improved method to make the chicken more rotten so that the old man could bite it more conveniently. Instead, she followed the
most traditional method.
She had tasted it herself. The meat was filled with a strong fresh fragrance. It tasted flexible and chewy.
She ate it and felt that it was not as good as the one made according to the method of L’Opera Restaurant, but the taste was not bad and just right. However, for those who had bad teeth, it was probably a little difficult to chew.
Thus, after the dish was served, Cierra started to feel uneasy.
As she expected, Dr. Charles only took two bites and then put down his fork. He didn’t even finish the piece of chicken, which was worse than yesterday.
“It… doesn’t taste good?”
Cierra’s heart sank. She couldn’t describe what she was feeling at the moment.
Dr. Charles raised his head and looked into her eyes. He stopped pouring tea and then shook his head. “It’s not bad. My teeth are bad and I can’t bite. It’s not your fault.”
Even if Dr. Charles said he wouldn’t blame her, Cierra still couldn’t hide her guilt. “Then I’ll take it and exchange it for another dish.”
Dr. Charles waved his hand. “There’s no need to change. You can just add a simple dish to fill my stomach. Oh right, don’t use that dish that Layton made.”
Dr. Charles was picky about food, but he was still more tolerant when it came to filling his stomach. There were rules about which dish was used to taste and which was used to eat.
Cierra couldn’t help but laugh at Dr. Charles’ request. She agreed and was about to turn around to leave when she remembered something.
She turned back with a conflicted look on her face, “Dr. Charles, apart from the fact that you can’t bite this chicken, how does it taste? Do you think it’s authentic?”
If there was no problem with the taste, she could stew the chicken.
Under Cierra’s expectant gaze, Dr. Charles shook his head, “It’s still a bit different from what I
remembered.”
Cierra’s heart sank.
She didn’t show too much disappointment and still smiled at Dr. Charles. “Okay, I know. Thank for your comments, Dr. Charles. Please eat first. I’ll give you another dish to fill your stomach.”
After that, she left politely..
