The remaining warmth of the noodles was taken away by the cold oil. Now that the cold noodles had cooled down completely, Yuan Zhou's last preparation was the other side dish, shredded cucumber.
However, the shredded cucumber had to be fresher than the chicken shredded. Therefore, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the chicken shredded first.
For the chicken shredded, some people would use drumsticks to make the chicken meat firm and elastic. However, the standard way to make the Chicken Shredded Cold Noodles was to use the chicken breast.
However, the chicken breast was the most difficult piece of meat to make. If the heat was too high, the meat would immediately harden. If the heat wasn't high enough, the meat would be raw and bloodstained.
It wouldn't be raw, and the meat had to be tender enough to be torn into strips. Yuan Zhou had put in a lot of effort to prepare the dish.
Moreover, when he had just learned the cooking method of the Chicken Shredded Cold Noodles, Yuan Zhou had deliberately failed to make it just to gain more experience.
After all, the master-level experience of the predecessors was a precious treasure. However, he could be more aware of his own failures.
After the chicken shredded was cooked, it was torn into strips. The length of the white jade-like meat was about one finger and the thickness was even. Because it was torn by hand, there was still some chicken hair on the edges.
"Hua La", Yuan Zhou turned on the tap again and started to wash the cucumbers.
Naturally, the cucumbers were picked directly from the cupboard. There was even some green juice on the surface of the cucumbers.
There was a small yellow flower on the top of each cucumber and the small thorns on the cucumbers were conspicuously telling Yuan Zhou that they were still fresh.
The clear water washed the emerald green cucumbers and the thorns on them were washed away. After washing them, Yuan Zhou put them in the white porcelain basin to drain.
The obsessive-compulsive Yuan Zhou carefully arranged the head and tail of the cucumbers neatly. The chopstick-length cucumbers were placed side by side.
As soon as Yuan Zhou turned off the tap, two voices suddenly sounded, "Good morning, Boss Yuan." "Good morning, Master Yuan."
It was Zhou Jia and Engineer Cheng. They were standing at the door.
"Morning." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
After greeting him, Engineer Cheng looked at Yuan Zhou worriedly as usual. Then, he picked up the rag and started wiping with all his might.
On the other side, Zhou Jia was in charge of washing the rag with the warm water that was placed on the side.
This was naturally prepared by Yuan Zhou. The basin was filled with warm water all year round. It had been like this ever since Mu Xiaoyun started working here.
Zhou Jia and Engineer Cheng didn't say anything. They had heard that there was a thief on the way here, but they didn't dare to disturb Yuan Zhou because they didn't have much time in the morning. Therefore, they didn't ask and just focused on their own work.
Soon, there was a long line outside the store. The first one was naturally Wuhai, followed by Yin Ya. Yin Ya came early today, so she was the second one in line.
"The first twelve, please come in and have your meal." Along with Zhou Jia's voice, the quiet restaurant suddenly became lively.
"Breakfast, Shredded Chicken Cold Noodles." Yuan Zhou stood in the middle of the kitchen and said.
"That's great. I've been waiting for a bowl of Cold Noodles in the morning. I want one." The first one to order was none other than Zhao YIngjun.
"Give me a bowl of Cold Noodles." Yin Ya pursed her pale red lips and said softly.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou answered and then turned his head and started to mix the noodles.
The noodles were poured into a white porcelain bowl. Due to the good elasticity, one could vaguely see the noodles bouncing a little. Then, Yuan Zhou spread the ingredients in the bowl one by one.
Mung bean sprouts that looked soft after being boiled, shredded chicken that looked as white as jade, and shredded cucumber that had just been freshly cut. Finally, Yuan Zhou poured a spoonful of bright chili oil onto the ingredients with his right hand.
In the white bowl, the golden noodles, the green shredded cucumber, the translucent mung bean sprouts, the white shredded chicken, and the bright chili oil collided with each other, creating a strong color.
"Sha Sha". Yuan Zhou shook the bowl with one hand and stirred with the wooden chopsticks with the other. Soon, the Cold Noodles were ready.
In the end, Yuan Zhou dripped some balsamic vinegar into the noodles, bringing out all the flavor of the Cold Noodles.
"Here's your Cold Noodles. Please enjoy." Yuan Zhou carried a white porcelain plate with the mountain-like Cold Noodles and placed it in front of Yin Ya.
"Um. Thank you." Yin Ya raised her head and thanked him.
"You're welcome." After saying that, Yuan Zhou turned around and continued to mix the noodles.
"It looks really good." Yin Ya smiled and then lowered her head to look at the Cold Noodles.
Although she didn't say that to the Cold Noodles, the fact was that the Cold Noodles looked really good.
"Eating Cold Noodles for breakfast. Looks like I have to eat something else to fill my stomach later." Yin Ya muttered helplessly as she smelled the appetizing Cold Noodles.
"Forget it. Let's eat the noodles first." Yin Ya picked up a strand of Cold Noodles with her right hand and put it into her mouth carefully.
The yellow outer layer of the Cold Noodles was now wrapped by a light red color. As soon as she put it into her mouth, she tasted an extremely spicy taste that directly exploded on her tongue. Before she could recover, a sour taste with a fragrance spread in her mouth and immediately suppressed the pungent taste.
"Hiss". Yin Ya woke up with a sleepy spirit after getting up early in the morning. At that time, the spicy, sour, and fragrant taste directly rushed into her throat.
Yin Ya started to chew the noodles unconsciously. The noodles were chewy and chewy. From time to time, there was the sound of the mung bean sprouts being bitten off in her mouth.
Moreover, every time she bit off a bean sprout, there would be a fragrance of vegetables mixed with the spicy taste in her mouth and stimulating her taste buds.
"I feel much more energetic now." Yin Ya chewed a mouthful of noodles carefully and said contentedly.
Then, Yin Ya added another mouthful of noodles. This time, she also put the shredded chicken and cucumber into her mouth along with the noodles.
Yuan Zhou's cucumbers were cut very well. He didn't like to use tools to shred them, so Yuan Zhou cut the cucumber shreds by himself.
Each shredded cucumber had an emerald green skin at both ends and a white cucumber flesh with a hint of green in the middle. It couldn't be any better when mixed with the cold noodles.
When chewed together with the cold noodles, it had the crispness of the cucumber, the chewiness of the cold noodles, and the fragrance of the chicken shredded.
Although the chicken shredded was shredded, it didn't stick to the teeth. With a little chewing, it broke easily. With the natural tenderness and smoothness of the chicken, the gravy even jumped out when chewed carefully, which added more layers of taste to the plain cold noodles.
When she started to eat, Yin Ya still paid attention to her image. After all, she was wearing light makeup and a light red lipstick. And if she didn't pay attention, it was easy to eat the cold noodles.
Therefore, when Yin Ya took the first bite, her actions were elegant. She carefully rolled the cold noodles and stuffed them into her mouth. But later on, Yin Ya completely forgot about the lipstick on her mouth and her image.
One mouthful after another, Yin Ya ate very attentively and earnestly. Her light red lips turned red because of the bright chili oil, which made her look even more beautiful.
"It's delicious, but it's still too little." Yin Ya looked at the empty plate resentfully and then looked at Yuan Zhou with a sorrowful expression.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, stood upright in the kitchen and didn't move at all. He just moved back slightly without leaving any trace.
"No, I have to go to work." It took a lot of self-control for Yin Ya not to lick the plate like Wuhai at the side.
That's right. After the cold noodles were eaten up, there was still a light layer of chili oil at the bottom of the plate. And Wuhai was licking the plate attentively.
Of course, before he licked the plate, Wuhai said, "I want to let others know that it's you, Yuan Zhou, who cooked the cold noodles and ate too little. That's why I licked the plate because I wasn't full."
Wuhai revealed a manner of wanting to ruin Yuan Zhou's reputation as a chef. He licked the plate very earnestly as if that could cover the fact that he was greedy.
