Leaving aside her occupation, the atmosphere in the restaurant became more enthusiastic. The reason was that the crayfish was indeed on the menu.
For a moment, the sound of people ordering dishes rose and fell in succession in the restaurant. It was very lively.
"Sour and Spicy Crayfish, Jia Jia."
"Zhou Jia, I want the crayfish, too."
"Please give me the garlic one."
"These young people don't know how to respect the old and cherish the young. I haven't ordered it yet. What's the hurry, Little Zhou?" It was Lee Yanyi who said that. He also came very early today.
He specially came here to taste the new dish that Yuan Zhou served, especially the crayfish. This was his job.
"Mr. Lee, what would you like to eat today?" Zhou Jia walked up to him immediately and asked.
"Let me see what's so delicious about this alien invader. Why are they fighting for it?" Lee Yanyi first criticized them arrogantly as usual and then said quickly, "But for the sake that it's Yuan's new dish, I'll try it. Give me the sour and spicy one and the garlic one. That's all."
"Okay. Wait a moment, Mr. Li," Zhou Jia answered with a smile on her face. She didn't say anything.
Zhou Jia had long been used to Lee Yanyi's way of speaking. He liked this kind of awkwardness. Obviously, he came here specially for this dish, but he still had to say that he was giving face.
It couldn't be helped. Lee Yanyi was a food critic with a venomous tongue. It had to be in line with his identity.
Thinking of that, Zhou Jia snickered inwardly but tried her best to maintain a gentle smile on her face.
Zhou Jia reported the names of the dishes while ordering. Usually, Yuan Zhou just nodded his head to indicate that he got it and then started to cook.
"Boom", Yuan Zhou turned on the big fire of the four stoves and then started to stir-fry the crayfish.
The greenish-white shell of the crayfish instantly turned red. "Shua Shua Shua", Yuan Zhou flipped the wok with one hand and stir-fried it with the other.
After stir-frying the crayfish at lightning speed, Yuan Zhou covered the lid and stewed it. Then, he continued to stir-fry the crayfish in another pot. This time, Yuan Zhou used four stoves and four pots to cook the crayfish at the same time.
Two pots of sour and spicy dishes, and two pots of garlic dishes. At the same time, Yuan Zhou was also making other dishes, such as the ice-cold lemonade.
When Yuan Zhou's lemonade was ready and the rice was served, it was time for the first pot of crayfish to be served.
This pot was sour and spicy. As soon as Yuan Zhou opened the lid, the white smoke was immediately sucked away. There was no smell in the store at all.
"Although it's great that the dishes in Boss Yuan Zhou's restaurant aren't affected by other smells, I really want to smell the sour and spicy crayfish when it's out of the pot." A customer looked at the white smoke drifting away enviously.
"That's right. I really want to smell it. It must be very fragrant." Ling Hong nodded in agreement.
Even Lee Yanyi couldn't help nodding his head inwardly. The fragrance of the crayfish when it was out of the pot must be very wonderful.
While the customers were discussing, only Shu Yue watched Yuan Zhou put the crayfish on the plate and then put it to the place where Zhou Jia carried the dish to without blinking her eyes.
Then, Shu Yue's eyes started to stare at Zhou Jia until she carried the Sour and Spicy crayfish to her.
The crayfish was carried on a lobster-shaped plate. The crayfish on the plate were all red with their tails curled up and each of their legs stretched out on the plate.
There were a total of 12 crayfish and they just happened to fill up the entire plate. As a whole, it looked like a big crayfish lying on the wooden table.
"It smells so good." Shu Yue smelled the fragrance of the crayfish and said with infatuation.
"Here are some towels and gloves to wipe your hands. Please enjoy." Zhou Jia said timely and then left.
Shu Yue picked up the gloves and immediately wore them on her fair and slender hands. Then, she reached out her hands and prepared to eat the crayfish.
When she picked up the crayfish, Shu Yue found there were green and red chili rings under the crayfish, which looked beautiful and tidy.
The crayfish was a little hot in her hands, causing Shu Yue to hiss involuntarily. However, she still endured it and didn't let go.
The fragrance of the crayfish became more obvious. While the sour and spicy fragrance of pickled peppers filled her nose, there was also the fragrance of the crayfish meat, which was very appetizing.
"Ka La", Shu Yue straightforwardly began to peel the crayfish.
The first place Shu Yue started was to twist the crayfish's tail and peel it off completely. Then, she didn't stop there and started to peel the crayfish's head.
"It seems that Boss Yuan has also cleaned the crayfish's head very cleanly." Shu Yue looked at the crayfish that had lost one-third of its head and said inwardly.
"Ka", the hard shell on the crayfish's head was peeled off. Immediately, two pieces of crayfish butter were revealed. The color of the butter was bright yellow. Shu Yue straightforwardly raised it to her mouth and then, the two pieces of crayfish butter entered her mouth.
"Hiss." As Shu Yue was sucking, the spicy taste entered her mouth first. The spicy taste immediately occupied her mouth and made her hiss involuntarily.
But right after that, the crayfish butter entered her mouth. Almost as soon as it came into contact with the warm mouth, the crayfish butter melted. A fragrant aroma, like the aroma and texture of a salted duck egg yolk, spread out in her mouth.
Immediately, the spiciness and sourness were neutralized. She could only feel the softness and fragrance of the crayfish butter, which was very wonderful.
"Delicious." Shu Yue squinted her eyes and then, without stopping, she picked up the crayfish tail and started to peel it.
One of the joys of eating crayfish was to peel it by oneself. Therefore, even a beauty who cared about her image the most was also willing to peel the crayfish tail and eat the meat by herself.
The middle of Yuan Zhou's crayfish tail was cut. Therefore, when Shu Yue slightly separated the side of the crayfish tail, the white and tender crayfish meat inside was immediately revealed.
The crayfish meat was bright white. When Shu Yue pinched the meat with one hand, the intact crayfish tail was directly peeled off. The surface of the crayfish had a light red color of the crayfish shell and was slightly curled with some glossy oil on it. It looked very delicious.
"Awoo." Shu Yue ate the crayfish tail in one gulp.
The sour and spicy taste of the pickled pepper filled her mouth. Immediately, Shu Yue chewed it. The chewiness of the crayfish meat carried the fragrance of the meat. It was soft and chewy and had a very good texture.
The sour and spicy taste further stimulated the sweetness of the crayfish meat. That's right. The fresh crayfish meat itself carried a little fresh and sweet taste of aquatic products.
"As expected of Boss Yuan. It's really delicious. My one week of waiting is not in vain. So delicious." While peeling the second crayfish, Shu Yue sighed with emotion continuously.
Even so, there wasn't much left of Shu Yue's beautiful image.
However, nobody cared about this matter at this time, because there was only the sound of peeling, eating and sighing with emotion in the restaurant.
Naturally, nobody said anything else. At this time, apart from Yuan Zhou who was busy cooking and Engineer Cheng who was studying, Lee Yanyi and Wuhai who was inhaling and stuffing the crayfish into his mouth ceaselessly.
Even Zhou Jia couldn't help swallowing her saliva secretly.
Working in Yuanzhou shop had a high salary, many benefits, short working hours and paid holidays. However, there was still a hellish torture, that was, you could only watch others send the delicacies into your mouth.
