Zhong Xiaoxiao knew so much because Jiang Nuan had called her as soon as she arrived. She had described in a friendly manner how far away she was from master chef Restaurant, how long it would take her to get there, and even emphasized that she could have breakfast.
It was obvious that he was very concerned about his best friend, Zhong Xiaoxiao.
Now, Jiang Nuan was feeling a little out of sorts. The reason was simply because she really loved sweet soybean milk. Wasn’t savory soybean milk a heresy?
Yuan Zhou’s signature dish was quite useful. Jiang Nuan hesitated for a while and decided to try the fried dough sticks wrapped in rice cakes first.
The fragrant smell of rice had already attracted her. Perhaps it was because of her love for rice buns, but Jiang Nuan had always been fond of rice-based products. She was the second person in the store who liked rice-based products after Queen Jiang.
Other than the rice mantou, which was reserved for the store, they were also keen on excavating the various varieties of the 100 styles of rice cuisine, contributing a lot to the store’s 100 styles of rice cuisine.
Because of the frying, the rice cake on the outside was more crispy, but that crispness wasn’t very crisp. On the contrary, it was very fragrant and crunchy. With a thin layer, one could break it with a bite. However, after breaking it, it wasn’t the end, but the beginning.
The inside of the fried dough stick was exposed. It was soft, and probably because of the hole in the middle, it looked very soft. Then, there was a thin and crisp layer, and then the fragrant and crisp youtiao. It was fried just right, fragrant and crisp, and not greasy. The fragrance of the rice and the flour mixed together, and there was a little sour taste embellished in it, which made it particularly smooth.
“The combination of crispness and softness is perfect. There’s no sense of disharmony at all. They’re all oily things, but there’s no greasy feeling. I think I can eat at least three, but unfortunately, there’s only one.” Jiang Nuan ate, shaking her head.
Today’s breakfast was a bowl of soy milk and a portion of fried dough sticks wrapped in rice cakes. An entire fried dough stick and an eight-inch rice cake were very large. Although there was only one layer, it was already very large. Ordinary people could fill their stomachs, especially those with small appetites. Most of them couldn’t finish it.
Of course, such a situation didn’t exist in master chef Restaurant. Even if he had a small appetite, he had to be able to do it! After all, the food was really delicious, and his appetite was unconsciously opened.
After she finished, she licked her hands as usual. Even though there wasn’t much oil on her hands, Jiang Nuan felt that she couldn’t afford to lose this ceremony.
In the end, she shifted her gaze to the colorful bowl of soy milk. She had seen too many pure white colors, and Jiang Nuan was rather curious about the bowl of soy milk that had so many colors.
How could it be delicious with so many things? It wasn’t that she doubted Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills, as it wasn’t her turn to do so. It was just that she was used to one thing. When she suddenly saw the other form of this thing, she couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong.
Jiang Nuan didn’t hesitate any longer. She knew that there was still a group of people waiting to eat, so she picked up the big bowl and took a big gulp.
“Gulp, gulp”
First, the slightly salty soybean milk was in his mouth, which was still very smooth. Then, before he could taste it carefully, the shrimp skin, preserved vegetables, and seaweed entered his mouth. He had to use his teeth to bite them. Creak, creak. While biting, the smooth soybean milk, the soft and tough shrimp skin, the smooth seaweed, and the crisp preserved vegetables were mixed together. Each of them had the same taste, but they were all mixed together in a very orderly way because of the proportion. There was a kind of “you sing, I take the stage” attitude, and it was especially delicious.
“So soybean milk tastes pretty good when chewed. I can try more salty soybean milk in the future. I heard that there’s also spicy soybean milk and sour soybean milk. I don’t know if they’re good or not. Maybe I can try them when I have the opportunity. After all, there are so many delicacies in China. We can’t be limited to one form, right?” Jiang Nuan said to herself.
Although she had a lot of thoughts, it didn’t stop her from eating. On the contrary, she ate very fast.
“Burp”
After covering her mouth and letting out a small burp, Jiang Nuan stood up and walked out of the restaurant to make way for the other customers. Little Wu, who was sitting across from her, naturally finished her meal very quickly as well. What a joke, the leader was still waiting outside to eat. If she didn’t finish her meal quickly, she would feel sorry for the meal that representative li had treated her.
The breakfast time was only one hour long. Even if everyone was reluctant to leave, it ended quickly. After sending the customers away, Yuan Zhou didn’t do any other practice. Instead, he began to prepare the things that would be used later.
He had made an appointment with head chef yang Wei yesterday that he would come to visit him this morning. Every time head chef yang Wei came, he would have an exchange of Shanghai cuisine. Therefore, Yuan Zhou started to prepare according to his usual habit.
First of all, he naturally prepared the tea. As a mature host, Yuan Zhou was already very good at welcoming and sending off guests. Not only would he pour water for the guests, but he would also serve the tea at any time.
In addition to pre-Ming Tea and Keemun black tea, he had the right to choose from many more varieties of tea because of the food ingredient warehouse.
Yuan Zhou knew that Yang Wei liked to drink black tea. Therefore, in order to entertain him well, he specially asked the system for 200 grams of Jin Junmei. Speaking of black tea, the Keemun black tea and the Zhengshan little seed were the two best.
As the top species of Zhengshan, Jin Junmei was of extraordinary quality. Not only was she small and beautiful, but she also had a faint compound fragrance when she was not soaked. It was not a simple fragrance, but it did not burst out, so it was hard to tell the specific situation.
“Head chef yang, you should like Jin Junmei’s taste, right?” While Yuan Zhou was making the tea, his thoughts stopped.
It was mainly because Yuan Zhou only had a little Keemun black tea left last time, which was not even enough for a meal. He didn’t prepare any other top-quality tea leaves in advance. What he brewed for Yang Wei was the special black tea, which was a gift from his disciples. At that time, Yang Wei even said that he still had some Keemun black tea that was gifted by others and he would bring it to Yuan Zhou to try next time. He thought that Yuan Zhou also liked tea, so he said that.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t prepare Jin Junmei to show off. He just wanted to let head chef yang Wei taste the authentic taste of the top-grade Jin Junmei.
In order to match with such good tea leaves, Yuan Zhou had also carefully prepared some refreshments. There had always been a saying,”sweet with green, sour with red, melon seeds with Black Dragon”. Although he wasn’t very proficient in it, as a future master chef with some tea arts, the arrangement of the refreshments was naturally on point.
The black tea needed fruits, candied fruits, and lemon slices to go with it. Yuan Zhou prepared a plate of fruit platter, a plate of lemon cake, a plate of durian crisps and a plate of Dragon Pearl sesame rolls.
“Swish”
Just as he placed a few plates of desserts on the stone table, he heard a voice from the door,”is head chef Yuan here?” Sounds.
Yuan Zhou estimated that someone had come. Sure enough, after he walked past Sakurai shrimp wall, he saw two familiar people standing at the door.
That’s right. They were both acquaintances. One of them was head chef yang Wei, who had made an appointment with Yuan Zhou. The other one was supposed to be a surprise to Yuan Zhou, but at first glance, he also seemed to be an acquaintance.
Then, Yuan Zhou felt a little happy in his heart. Yang Wei probably didn’t communicate well with his companions when he sent the message to Yuan Zhou. This mistake was a little too much.
