Back For My Daughter

If the time difference in the realms was not as it was, then Ye Qian might really have turned insane from all the heartbreak.

It was simple right, the person whom you cared for so long and for whom you struggled to keep yourself alive for more than 5000 years, and after coming back to see them, all you get to know is that they had been dead for a really long time.

Then what might get over you?

But with the power of the unknown or be it fate, things were not like such.

Though it had been more than 5 years on Earth and Ye Qian had missed a lot of time which he might have regretted before, thinking of how things might have turned bad if it hadn't been like such.

Ye Qian's heart was calm.

"TING"

As soon as Xiao Ya pushed away from the door with her tiny arm, while Ye Qian was busy holding her and her Big Sister, the small bell which was hung at the door rang.

It was a simple way of alarming that there was a new customer in the shop.

"Butterfly see we are in the shop if you don't say what sauce you want then how will I buy it for you."

Ye Qian smiled as he tried to coerce the little girl.

In the shop there was a young man who seemed to be in his early 20s, upon noticing that there was a new customer, he quickly smiled at Ye Qian as he walked to the counter.

The shop was simple and appeared just like a bakery shop, just that in place of cakes and sweet delicacies, there were tender meat delicacies.

Namely, there were many juicy mean pieces which not only would make one drool while taking a glance at it but even want to crave it.

There was Char Siu which was a slice of roasted and barbecued pork which was marinated in many ingredients like soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine and star anise.

The Char Siu was delicately covered in various charred marks which made it look as if it had been cooked for a really long time on slow flames.

And to top it off, there was a shiny layer on the meat formed after the caramelization of the sugars from the marinade.

Ye Qian sucked his drool back not wanting to embarrass himself in from his daughters.

Even if he could cook WELL ENOUGH according to him, there was no way that he had ever been able to make his food taste just like that of his mother's.

It was as if no matter how much he achieved in the Spirit Stove Technique which he had got by a chance, he would never be able to compare to the temple Vegetable Stir Fry which Grandma Yan would be able to make in a matter of few minutes.

Following that there was Siu Yuk, it was while a piece of meat which was roasted at a very high temperature on charcoal, which helped in retaining the tender and juicy flavours of the meat within.

Then there were our little princess's favourite, Sweet and Sour Ribs, which were coated in a sticky layer of sweet and sour sauce which would make one bite on their tongue if they were not careful and eat it in a hasty manner.

Sweet and Sour Ribs were meat ribs which were coated in a special batter which were exquisite to each shop and differed a lot from each shop or even every region of people.

There was no way that you would be able to find the same taste of Sweet and Sour Ribs in someplace and search for the same Sweet and Sour Ribs in some other place.

The Sweet and Sour Ribs were then deep-fried until their outside was crisp while the inside and their juices locked and very tender inside.

Then there was the sauce which even further enhanced the state of the meat which was made of vegetables like carrots, green pepper and onions.

Seeing the thin slices of spring onions and sesame seeds which were sprinkled on top of the ribs only made them even more alluring.

There were even more delicacies of meat such as Twice Cooked Pork which was cooked and then tossed with cabbages, bell peppers, leeks and mushrooms.

Followed by General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken and other meat dishes which one would be able to enjoy as snacks.

Not only were there so many of these dishes, but there was a whole separate section for Sweet and Sour Ribs which made Ye Qian a bit confused as to what it was for.

It was not like one needed to have so many of Short Ribs on display right.

Ye Qian knew that the number of things shown here was just for the customers to know and there would still be a lot of those dishes which were still being prepared.

But after Ye Qian took another look and then smelled the fragrance which was being released from that area, he clearly understood what the reason was.

There were just too many varieties of flavours in the Sweet and Sour Ribs.

Of course, with the people these days trying to be innovative in the food recipes there were bound to be many new spices and sauces to be invented.

And since the combination of Sweet and Sour really enticed the taste buds, many people had made different kinds of sweet and sour sauces.

There were many fruits and other vegetables from which one would be able to derive these flavours and once the people were introduced to such flavours and liked them, the store might have started making these varieties of Sweet and Sour Ribs coated in different kinds of sauces.

"Butterfly, say this uncle here is waiting for us to tell him what we want."

Ye Qian smiled wryly and tubed back to Little Qiqi who still had the pout on her face, but there was obviously a smile at the corner of her lips.
