Zhang Yang picked up a piece of lotus root with his chopsticks.
As soon as it entered his mouth, he realized that there was more to it than met the eye.
So crunchy! The crystal-clear cubes of lotus root were of an unknown variety, crisper than any lotus root he had tasted before, creating a crisp cracking sound as he chewed.
And they were incredibly fresh, almost as if they had been just picked from the lakebed and brought directly to the table; while tasting them, Zhang Yang could even imagine them being pulled out from the muddy depths.
The aftertaste was sweetly refreshing, and such high-quality lotus root would have been delightful even eaten plain.
The Chef obviously knew this as well, so there was hardly any seasoning on the outside, but after Zhang Yang had fully savored the natural flavor of the lotus root, an explosion of various tastes burst forth in his mouth!
