In Zhang Yan's opinion, the most wonderful thing was that every mouthful of the mutton contained just the right amount of odor, which made the freshness of the mutton reach a higher level.
That's right. Actually, the mutton didn't need all the odor to be removed. Otherwise, it wouldn't be mutton anymore.
"Well, not bad, not bad. The mutton was handled very cleverly." Zhang Yan sighed contentedly while eating.
Because the odor had become the seasoning method of Yuan Zhou, Zhang Yan sighed with emotion, which was something that most of the chefs couldn't do.
"Ka Ka". When Zhang Yan chewed the meat near the bone, he found that the meat became slightly firmer and the fragrance became more obvious with some chewiness when he chewed it.
"Is this the thin film of the tendons? It's so fragrant." Zhang Yan savored it carefully.
Zhang Yan savored it while eating. Only when the two bones became smooth without any meat did he stop.
Zhou Shijie beside him was the same. There were only two clean bones left on the plate on the table.
After the meal, it should be the time to savor the delicacy. However, Zhang Yan knitted his brows at that time.
"Is this the fragrance of pear?" Zhang Yan was surprised in the heart.
That's right. Just when Zhang Yan was savoring the delicacy of the mutton chop carefully, a faint fragrance of Qingqing spread in his mouth. Not only did it leave the odor of odor in his mouth, but it was also very light and refreshing without any greasy feeling.
However, it was this aroma that made Zhang Yan frown. It was not because of anything else, but because this aroma belonged to pears, and pears and mutton could not be eaten together.
Because some enzymes in the pear could break down the enzymes in the mutton, hindering digestion and causing side effects such as indigestion and abdominal distension. It was a fact that every chef must know.
"It's impossible that Yuan doesn't know that." Looking at Yuan Zhou, Zhang Yan felt a sense of disappointment spreading in his heart.
At the same time, however, he felt that it was reasonable and fortunate. "He's still too young."
Zhang Yan looked at Yuan Zhou's young face and sighed in his heart.
As one of the top ten banquets, it was impossible for the food to be incompatible with each other, so there was no problem with the taste at all. However, Zhang Yan believed that there were still some problems with the incompatible food.
In short, Yuan Zhou's long-lost Zama Banquet might still have some flaws.
However, Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie didn't say anything after they finished eating. It was still business hours, and they didn't want to disturb other customers. Therefore, they sat on the bench outside the restaurant.
"You can tell, too," Zhou Shijie suddenly said.
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "The pear flavor is very obvious. I think I also added hawthorn to relieve the greasiness."
"Yes, there's also Angelica and Lemon Leaf. At least the choice of ingredients is quite complicated." Zhou Shijie nodded.
Just the combination of angelica, hawthorn, and lemon leaves with rich flavors was not an easy task.
It didn't take a genius to know that it required precise coordination.
As the two chatted, almost everyone in the restaurant watched the two presidents eat the lamb chops. Therefore, they spoke almost at the same time.
"Boss Yuan, I want to order the lamb chops."
"Yeah, my doctor told me that I must eat a piece of lamb chops today, or I'll die."
"How much is it? I'll order it all, as long as there's no discount!"
Hearing that, Yuan Zhou was expressionless. Will you die if you don't eat the lamb chops? Why don't you go to heaven?
"The new dish, roast whole lamb, is not on sale today," Yuan Zhou said.
As soon as he said that, someone immediately asked, "When will it be on sale?"
"Tomorrow. This dish won't be officially on the menu until next Monday." Yuan Zhou added, "You need to make a reservation one month in advance, and you need to have at least ten people to make a reservation."
Next Monday was the first. If they made a reservation one month in advance, it would be just right. Then, the obsessive-compulsive Yuan Zhou would feel better.
"We still have to wait for a month? Isn't it the same as roast goose? "" I feel like I'm going to die of hunger. " "There are benefits to waiting for a month. The roast whole lamb is definitely not cheap, even if it's shared by ten people. It seems like I have to start saving money."
Lunch continued. After seeing the roast whole lamb, Ling Hong felt that he didn't want to eat anything else. However …
After the dishes were served, he still ate happily. There was nothing that Yuan Zhou's food couldn't solve. If there was, then he would order two more dishes.
Lunch time ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
"Boss Yuan, I broke up with my boyfriend," after all the customers left, Zhou Jia said with a grievance.
"What's wrong? He's not good to you. " Yuan Zhou frowned. Previously, Zhou Jia brought her boyfriend to see him. Originally, they had talked about getting married, but in the blink of an eye, they broke up.
"You can't blame it all on him. Both of us are responsible for it." Zhou Jia didn't cry. Instead, she looked calm.
Yuan Zhou was silent for a while and didn't know how to comfort her. After all, he hadn't even dated a girlfriend, let alone broken up. He had no experience at all.
After holding it in for a long time, Yuan Zhou said, "I will give you two days off with pay."
"Thank you, Boss Yuan, but it's okay." Zhou Jia smiled and shook her head.
If she refused the paid leave, Yuan Zhou thought of another idea. He said with a serious tone, "Zhou Jia, come earlier tomorrow at noon."
"Okay, boss." Zhou Jia nodded her head obediently and didn't ask more.
Yuan Zhou was very patient. Since Zhou Jia agreed, he didn't say anything more and just watched Zhou Jia leave the restaurant.
As impatient as Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie were, they couldn't wait any longer. Seeing Zhou Jia leave, they entered the restaurant immediately.
"Yuan, I tasted the pear flavor." Zhou Shijie said straightforwardly.
"Yes, there are pears." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
Then, Zhang Yan looked at Zhou Shijie with a victorious expression. Zhou Shijie, on the other hand, was quite calm and didn't worry at all. He just waited for Yuan Zhou to continue.
That's right. The two people were arguing about this issue just now. Now that Yuan Zhou admitted it himself, it meant that Zhang Yan won.
Naturally, Zhou Shijie believed that Yuan Zhou wouldn't be ignorant of it. He had quarreled with Zhang Yan outside just now and believed that Yuan Zhou had his reasons for using pears.
As for Zhang Yan's accusation that he was biased and not objective, Zhou Shijie nodded his head happily.
"Pears and mutton are incompatible." Nevertheless, Zhang Yan couldn't help saying that.
"Pears indeed can't be eaten together with mutton. So I used the cold smoking method to soak the fragrance of the pear in." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
That's right. Apart from avoiding the high temperature of baking, cold smoking also had this effect.
"Cold smoking?"
Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie looked at each other and were stupefied for an instant.
"Cold smoking alone can't achieve such an effect. So I used pear wood as the firewood." Yuan Zhou explained.
Using pear wood to soak the fragrance of the pear in the cold smoking method was really a marvelous technique.
Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie looked at each other. This time, it was Zhou Shijie's turn to be complacent.
"I was still thinking that the Horse Banquet wasn't completely successful. I didn't expect that I didn't keep up with your thinking." Zhang Yan sighed.
Zhou Shijie said smilingly, "It's indeed Yuan's style. He won't take it out without a 100% success rate. You need to make a reservation. I want to reserve one."
The last sentence was the key. He didn't eat enough. Hearing that, Zhang Yan secretly exclaimed "cunning" and immediately said, "I also want to reserve one."
"Presidents, the whole roast mutton can be reserved one month in advance." Yuan Zhou said.
"One month … It's a bit long. But good stuff is acceptable," Zhou Shijie said.
"Well, this dish isn't on the menu yet. You can only reserve it next Monday." Yuan Zhou continued.
"…"
"…"
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan finally understood why so many customers always said they wanted to beat him to death.
Even Zhou Shijie, who had just quarreled with Zhang Yan for Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship, wanted to beat Yuan Zhou to death.
Besides, he was quite self-confident and didn't feel any pressure. After all, Zhou Shijie and his colleagues lived by the principle of "no fighting, no talent."
