Yuan Zhou's thoughts were beautiful, but he clearly didn't consider the actual situation. He didn't even have a girlfriend, so how could he have children?
For the next few days, Yuan Zhou opened his restaurant as usual. At night, he would throw out the 'trash' and wait for the old man to come pick it up.
However, Yuan Zhou and the old man never met again. However, Yuan Zhou knew that the food he put down had been taken away.
"It's a nice day today. I should be able to make soup," Yuan Zhou muttered.
Yuan Zhou was living a leisurely life in his restaurant. He even had the intention to make soup for the old man after avoiding arousing suspicion. On the other hand, the seafood alliance was in dire straits.
First, the report of the competition between them and Yuan Zhou came out. Chef Li played the role of the clown in the report, vividly portraying his unwillingness and madness after losing. Furthermore, he had completely lost his reputation as a chef.
On the other hand, the restaurant's business plummeted.
Normally, people who came to eat here wouldn't pay much attention to the matters of the culinary circle. However, Yuan Zhou had a group of enthusiastic customers. Not only did they publicize Chef Li's restaurant on the internet, they even publicized Chef Li's restaurant for free in reality.
Chef Li's restaurant went from being filled with customers in the past to losing 30% of its customers after the appearance of Yuan Zhou's review website. After the competition, there were only two or three customers left.
In less than two months, Chef Li's restaurant was going to close soon.
That's right, Engineer Cheng was also involved. Chef Li couldn't even find outside help.
Although the other seafood alliance's businesses were also greatly affected, they were doing much better than Chef Li. At the very least, they could maintain their daily operations.
After all, Chef Li was the one who hired people to harass the customers of Yuanzhou shop. He was also the one who forced Yuan Zhou to compete.
"I don't know what the problem is, but it should be good to make soup," Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and began to stew the soup.
Yuan Zhou started stewing the soup in the afternoon and continued until the end of the restaurant's business hours.
"The soup should be ready now." Yuan Zhou looked at the white porcelain pot.
"Fried rice first." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and then began to fry the rice.
After the rice was cooked, Yuan Zhou directly packed it up.
Speaking of which, the lunch box that Yuan Zhou bought was of high quality. Not only could it be decomposed, but it also had a certain heat preservation effect.
As he was going to stew the soup, he also prepared a container to hold the soup.
"Pa!" Yuan Zhou took out the stew pot and placed it on the glazed countertop. Then, he poured out a little bit, scooped a spoonful, and drank it.
"Wow, the taste is rich. The fresh fragrance of the chicken blends into the soft and glutinous gingko. My craftsmanship is really not bad." Yuan Zhou said contentedly.
"Unfortunately, I'm not hungry now and can't eat it. I can only throw it away," Yuan Zhou said as he quickly packed up the soup.
Yuan Zhou knew the rules of Yuanzhou shop better than anyone else. Food and ingredients were not allowed to be taken out. However, it was still a lot more lenient for him as the host.
For example, he used the broth to feed Broth. As Yuan Zhou's leftover food, the system never interfered.
Therefore, that was the reason why Yuan Zhou deliberately drank a mouthful of the Ginkgo Chicken Soup.
The reason why Yuan Zhou stewed the soup was also very simple. It was because he heard from the old man that his wife was bedridden.
Carrying the "trash" that had one more bowl of soup than usual, Yuan Zhou went to the garbage dump again.
After carefully putting away the lunch box, Yuan Zhou walked back to the restaurant at a natural pace.
"I should take another look at Golden Lotus today. It's said that there are a lot of dishes recorded in it," Yuan Zhou thought to himself after sitting down in the restaurant.
"Pa." Yuan Zhou took out a hardcover edition of Golden Lotus with colorful pictures and started reading it seriously.
From time to time, Yuan Zhou would have a thoughtful look on his face. It seemed that he was reading very seriously. He read a lot of books but couldn't find anything suitable. After thinking for a while, he would go back.
Although Yuan Zhou had already read Golden Lotus before and had given up on looking for the dishes in it because he found a Golden Lotus Drink Recipe Book when he was looking for it.
However, when he read the requirements of the system again, Yuan Zhou found that the dishes in Golden Lotus Drink Recipe Book could still be used.
After all, the dishes needed to be cooked and reach 90 points. There were far more people who cooked Dream of the Red Chamber Cuisine than Golden Lotus Drink Recipe Book, so he should be able to find a few dishes.
This was what Yuan Zhou was thinking. Therefore, he was reading very seriously this time. Not only did he look at the dishes, but he also read the entire book.
So that he could better find the dishes that met the requirements.
"Um. The dishes are indeed as ordinary as what the research institute said. But the cooking methods are quite interesting." While reading, Yuan Zhou was thinking about the cooking methods of the dishes in the book.
Of course, there was also the introduction of the liquor and tea drinks.
Just in a little while, Yuan Zhou read the 61st chapter because he had read the book for the second time and had been reading it for two days.
"Fresh crab?" Yuan Zhou stared at the description in the book and knitted his brows tightly.
The description of the fresh crab in the book was as follows: "40 big crabs, all peeled clean. The meat is fermented inside and the outside is wrapped with pepper, ginger, garlic and rice flour. Then it is fried in sesame oil and brewed with soy sauce. It is fragrant, crisp and delicious."
"How can the crabs still be fresh after being cooked like this?" Yuan Zhou was puzzled in the heart.
After all, he had just cooked a seafood dish. He knew very well what kind of cooking methods were needed to make the crabs taste fresh and delicious.
Even the crab hoppers weren't fried in this way. If the crabs were wrapped with pepper, ginger, garlic and rice flour and fried in sesame oil, the freshness of the crabs wouldn't be there.
"System, does the fresh crab meet the requirements?" Yuan Zhou made up his mind and then asked tentatively.
Since the mission was issued, Yuan Zhou had submitted dozens of dishes, but all of them failed. Therefore, he became more cautious when submitting the dishes now.
He held his breath and waited for the system's reply. He didn't know if the system did it on purpose or not. It seemed to scrutinize for a long time before answering.
The system displayed, "Yes."
"Not again …" Yuan Zhou came to himself, "Wait. Did you say it's a yes?"
Yuan Zhou asked again for confirmation. He even doubted if he had an auditory hallucination.
The system displayed, "Yes."
"Brother, it's really not easy. Not easy! It's decided, fresh crab! "Yuan Zhou stood up immediately and said.
After searching for so long, Yuan Zhou finally found it. He was quite excited and couldn't wait to start cooking immediately.
"Wait. I have to make sure I can succeed in one try and think about the specific methods." Yuan Zhou stood for a while and calmed down.
Not until Yuan Zhou calmed down and thought about the method did he say again.
"It's May now and there are no crabs on the market. Besides, according to the description, the crab used in the Golden Vase Plum is not sea crabs but only lake crabs." Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and thought.
"System, are you providing the raw materials of the crabs?" Yuan Zhou didn't have much hope when he asked that.
The system displayed, "Three servings of raw materials of the crabs can be provided."
"System, you are so generous. Are you plotting something again?" Yuan Zhou revealed a suspicious look.
The system displayed, "Host, you can provide the place of origin, size and month of birth of the crabs. If the three are correct, the system will provide the raw materials."
On hearing that, Yuan Zhou understood that it was testing him on the specific information of the raw materials of the crabs required for the fresh crab. The system meant that it would only provide the raw materials if the information was correct.
"It's not free." Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
Having been getting along well with the system for a long time, Yuan Zhou felt secure about the system's not free of charge. This was quite rare for Yuan Zhou who never took advantage of others.
