While tasting the delicacies again and again, Yuan Zhou also learned the advantages of others and avoided possible mistakes. It was his nature to pursue perfection now.
He continued to eat.
Not until 4: 00 in the afternoon did Yuan Zhou finish eating the five restaurants recorded in the small notebook. Each restaurant had its own advantages and some unavoidable disadvantages. Yuan Zhou tried his best to objectively evaluate the delicacies that entered his mouth.
Yuan Zhou put away the small notebook that was mostly filled with words, reached out his hand to stop the taxi and prepared to return to the restaurant.
"No. 14 of Taoxi Road. Thank you." Yuan Zhou got on the taxi and directly reported the address. Then, he closed his eyes to rest and thought about the problem of food matching and heat control.
"Ok." The taxi driver answered. He turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. Then, the taxi drove away.
It was just 4: 00 in the afternoon when he returned to the restaurant. After taking a short rest, Yuan Zhou washed his face and rinsed his mouth and changed his clothes again, he straightforwardly opened the door with a sound of "Hua La" and started to do business.
Just in a little while, Mu Xiaoyun also arrived at the restaurant and started to do chores such as cleaning tables.
"Xiaoyun, you go back at 8: 00 as before." Yuan Zhou sat on his seat and said that.
"But boss, what about the time after that?" Mu Xiaoyun asked habitually.
"I can do it myself." Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"I can help you, boss." Mu Xiaoyun clenched her small fists and said earnestly.
"No need." Yuan Zhou refused her flatly.
"Ok." Mu Xiaoyun knew Yuan Zhou wouldn't change his mind once he made up his mind. Thus, she had to agree.
While they were talking, the grandpa brought Wang Shuyuan to the restaurant.
"What a coincidence. Boss Yuan, you open the door so early." The grandpa greeted him as soon as he entered the restaurant.
Wang Shuyuan followed behind him and observed the environment silently without saying anything.
The open kitchen was a failure. If the smell of cooking oil and smoke came out, it would affect the customers' taste buds. Wang Shuyuan knitted his brows.
As for the rest, he didn't have any other concerns. The tables, chairs and stools were all tidied up.
Originally, Wang Shuyuan wanted to sit at the small table over there, but the grandpa had been used to sitting at the curved long table. Therefore, he had already sat down and waited for him.
"The menu is on the wall behind. You order by yourself. You can only order one serving of each dish." The grandpa introduced familiarly.
"You come quite often." Wang Shuyuan took a look at the grandpa and then turned to look at the menu wall.
The first thing that came into view were the rules. There were several rules written on the wall, and they looked very unique.
Then there was the shiny 1888 Herbal Tea Egg, which was the most expensive among them. Then there was the meat that Wang Shuyuan liked.
That's right. Although Wang Shuyuan was old, he loved to eat meat even more. However, the price made Wang Shuyuan feel that this was not an ordinary restaurant.
"How about this? A serving of Jin 'ling Grass, Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet, Phoenix-Tail Prawns and a serving of Egg Fried Rice Set." Wang Shuyuan had long known that this restaurant was expensive, therefore he had prepared a lot of money with him just for eating.
"Zhou and and and to and, and, I and and and and., I. and and and and and. and and and again. and of that..
"Wait a moment, please." Yuan Zhou didn't know the identity of the new customers. He just answered normally and then dealt with the ingredients according to his strict requirements.
"This technique is really good." Wang Shuyuan looked at Yuan Zhou and said while washing the Jin'ling Grass carefully.
"Indeed. What's more, I heard this young master also has excellent knife skills. And the best part is his carving skills." The grandpa showed a familiar manner as if he was very familiar with the process.
"Just look and you'll know. But how to deal with the oil smoke?" Wang Shuyuan nodded his head and asked while looking around.
"If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of it. This looks like an open kitchen, but there isn't any oil smoke smell when the Fried Rice is fried." The grandpa was suddenly enlightened. He had always felt it was strange before, but now he understood.
"Not even a little bit?" Wang Shuyuan couldn't believe it.
"Yes, it's true. I don't know what kind of range hood it is. It's so awesome." The grandpa was still thinking hard about the brand of the range hood.
"It must have been specially designed." Wang Shuyuan concluded firmly.
"It should be. But the effect of the range hood should also be very good." The grandpa was still obsessed with the range hood.
At the other side, Yuan Zhou had braised the Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet and started to process the prawns.
"Oh. He's just letting it relax first and then taking out the shrimp thread." Wang Shuyuan looked at him and said straightforwardly.
"This old guy really knows a lot." The grandpa also started to watch Yuan Zhou process the prawns naturally and smoothly.
"He's quite experienced. He seems to have some skills." Wang Shuyuan thought secretly.
At that time, Yuan Zhou had already started to fry the prawns in oil. After smelling the oil smoke, Wang Shuyuan felt relieved and waited patiently.
Yuan Zhou dealt with the ingredients very quickly. Ten minutes later, the dishes were basically done and ready to be served.
"Here are the dishes for you two." Yuan Zhou set them down one by one.
"The color, fragrance, meaning and shape are basically all there. I wonder what the taste is like." Wang Shuyuan prepared to taste it expectantly.
"You'll know once you taste it." Yuan Zhou was absolutely confident in his craftsmanship.
"Then let me taste it." Wang Shuyuan picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the Jin'ling Grass that seemed to be carried directly to the table.
Of course, Wang Shuyuan knew the Jin'ling Grass was artemisia selengensis. However, he had never seen one that was still green after stir-frying.
Once it entered the mouth, the unique fragrance of artemisia selengensis instantly hit the taste buds. It was fresh and pleasant. It was as if a large expanse of green was unfolding in front of his eyes, making him feel comfortable.
While Wang Shuyuan was tasting the dishes earnestly, the grandpa started to eat like a familiar person. A mouthful of the Egg Fried Rice and a mouthful of the refreshing Jin'ling Grass made him quite happy.
Wang Shuyuan tasted every dish first and then the Egg Fried Rice Set at the end.
Egg Fried Rice was a basic dish of Chinese cuisine. The requirements were not high, but they were definitely not low either. Who could make every single grain of rice wrapped in egg liquid and stir-fry it until it was fluffy and soft, tender and tender, and just right for softness?
As for the side dishes, they were the icing on the cake and the taste was indescribably wonderful.
Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish plus two servings of Egg Fried Rice Set made the two old men eat happily. Very soon, the plates were emptied.
After drinking up the last mouthful of the soup, Wang Shuyuan let out a long sigh of relief and then said, "Young master, your craftsmanship is really indescribable."
"First of all, even the decorations are so fresh and refreshing, full of imagination and beauty. It's simply perfect." Wang Shuyuan first praised Yuan Zhou who didn't waste anything.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded the head and expressed his gratitude.
"It's indeed delicious. And the Golden Egg Fried Rice is marvelous. It's the first time that I've seen Egg Fried Rice grains covered by the egg liquid. As for the side dishes, I don't need to say much. I can only say one word, good." Wang Shuyuan continued saying.
"The Phoenix-Tail Prawns is supposed to be the most authentic signature dish of Jin'ling. I haven't seen such a fake Phoenix-Tail Prawns for many years." Looking at the empty plate, Wang Shuyuan sighed with emotion.
"As for the taste of the Phoenix Claws, it must have been specially processed." Wang Shuyuan thought of the Phoenix Claws which were as brittle as bone.
"That's enough. Are you going to make comments one by one?" It was the grandpa who interrupted Wang Shuyuan's contemplation.
"No. It's just that this young master has such top-notch craftsmanship at such a young age. Talent and hard work are indispensable." Wang Shuyuan came back to himself and looked at the dishes he had eaten contentedly.
"That's right. Master Yuan's craftsmanship is truly indescribable." The grandpa revealed a proud expression as if he had something to do with Yuan Zhou.
