Yuan Zhou, who only went to bed at 3: 00 am, got up at 7: 00 am
"Luckily, I'm still young." Yuan Zhou looked at himself in the mirror and touched his face. When he found no dark circles under his eyes, he nodded contentedly.
Of course, he could still boast with such a mature face. It was not hard to imagine how thick-skinned Yuan Zhou was.
Feeling a little sleepy, Yuan Zhou directly went to wash his face and rinse his mouth. The ice-cold water was splashed on his face and instantly cleaned him up.
Seeing that there was still half an hour left on the thermostatic fermentation device, Yuan Zhou prepared the ingredients for breakfast first. Of course, Yuan Zhou was in a good mood, so he prepared the ingredients for the Soup Dumplings.
When he was done, the time was almost up.
Immediately, he took out the unsealed ceramic jar and put it on the azure stone countertop with a sound of "Peng".
"Hua La"
He opened the lid and a sweet fragrance of liquor drifted out slowly. The rice inside had condensed into a beautiful circle and the liquor seeped out from the dimple in the middle.
The juice in the middle was clear and transparent. As the time of opening the jar got longer, the fragrance of the liquor became stronger, but it wasn't intoxicating. It was just suitable for girls to drink.
However, Yuan Zhou made more than one serving. He prepared two for himself. After Yuan Zhou took out one serving, he directly put the rest into the jar to continue fermenting. That would help the liquor taste more mellow.
At that time, Mu Xiaoyun should have arrived. Yuan Zhou directly opened the door.
"Boss Yuan, you finally opened the door. What were you doing inside just now? The smell is so mellow." A big man who didn't come often said excitedly.
"Rice wine." Yuan Zhou straightforwardly brought out the answer that the big man wanted.
The big man with tangled muscles was Chen Wei, the martial arts coach of a security company nearby. He was quite strong and looked like a fierce tiger. He had been brought here twice to eat.
In his words, "The food is so little that it's like feeding a cat. It makes me hungrier." Therefore, he didn't come here often. However, he liked the Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet very much. Recently, he came here more frequently.
"I knew it was liquor. Boss Yuan, you should have made liquor long ago. The chicken feet and liquor are a perfect match," Chen Wei strode into the restaurant with a smile.
"You have to order first if you need it," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"No problem, but I'm afraid this wine isn't strong. Can you make it stronger?" Chen Wei had long known about the rules in Yuan Zhou's place and he abided by them. He himself was a person who was extremely particular about the rules.
"Yes, but it will take a little longer." Yuan Zhou nodded. He knew that this guy liked to drink strong wine. Even if this kind of rice wine was not distilled, it would still be strong after a long time.
"Boss Yuan made it on the spot?" Chen Wei reacted immediately.
"Um, I'll make it now." Yuan Zhou had a serious look on his face.
"The freshly made liquor isn't as good as those. I'm not doubting Boss Yuan's craftsmanship, but it takes time to make the liquor. The freshly made liquor will always have a bad taste," Chen Wei knitted his brows and said straightforwardly.
"I won't, don't worry." Yuan Zhou was quite confident. After all, the raw materials could completely solve these problems. Besides, there was also the cheating device, the system.
"Ok, give me a serving of the rice wine. I'll come to drink it three days later." Chen Wei prepared to pay the money without hesitation.
"I'm sorry. We don't sell the liquor in the morning. You can only order it after noon," Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
"Didn't you just say you'll come to drink it three days later?" Chen Wei didn't get it immediately and said with puzzlement.
"Boss, you mean if I order it at noon today, I can only drink it three days later," Mu Xiaoyun went up and explained obediently when she saw Yuan Zhou's unwillingness to explain.
"Then I'll order it now and come three days later. It's the same," Chen Wei said stubbornly.
"You can't order it in the morning, so the boss won't order it for you. It has to be at noon or in the evening," Mu Xiaoyun said earnestly.
"Boss Yuan, the rules really haven't changed. Ok, I'll come again at noon." Chen Wei didn't intend to have his breakfast here.
One should know that Chen Wei's appetite was at least 10 Soup Dumplings to feel full. It would be too expensive to eat 10 Soup Dumplings. Therefore, Chen Wei directly walked out of Yuanzhou Shop and prepared to eat something that could fill him up.
…
Soon, it was the appointed time with Manman at noon. Yuan Zhou took out the serving of rice wine and prepared it carefully. Then, he packed it so that he could carry it out directly.
"Boss Yuan, how is it? Where's my rice wine?" Manman said complacently.
"Um. Please take a seat," Yuan Zhou pointed at the empty seat and said calmly.
"Is it really done?" Seeing Yuan Zhou's calm expression, Manman couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.
After all, brewing liquor wasn't something that could be learned in a day. Otherwise, why were there so few master brewers? With the style of Yuanzhou Shop, the best rice wine must be served.
Yuan Zhou took out the tray and took out the freshly packed rice wine. Then, he put it on the tray and carried it to Manman.
The coarse earthenware cup had a wide mouth at the top and a narrow mouth at the bottom. At first glance, it didn't look good at all. Manman thought it would be a little prickly when she held it in her hand. Unexpectedly, it wasn't. Instead, it was as smooth as purple sand. When she got closer to it, she found there were beautiful light green patterns painted on the outer surface of the cup.
The top of such a coarse earthenware cup was light brown and the bottom was milky white, which looked extraordinarily beautiful.
"It smells so good." While observing the cup, Manman was attracted by the sweet fragrance of the rice wine drifting over to her.
She raised her head and found it was the crystal white rice wine inside. As it swayed slightly, apart from the strong fragrance of the wine, there were also some rice grains floating inside.
"Boss Yuan, didn't you worry about the wine?" Manman asked curiously.
"It's just right for you to drink. Do you need to heat it up?" Yuan Zhou was a very qualified chef and the rice wine tasted pretty good when heated.
"No, it's just right. If it's heated up, it will definitely taste sour." Manman liked the rice wine very much, provided that there were eggs and sugar in it.
Otherwise, she would always feel it was a little sour. In her imagination, the sour taste would definitely be stronger when it was heated up.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't intend to correct Manman.
Manman took up the cup and drank a mouthful of the rice wine directly. She avoided it carefully, but still, she drank a rice grain accidentally.
As soon as it entered her mouth, a gust of wine immediately rushed to her nose. She felt her nose became much better and more sensitive. Immediately, a sweet taste spread out in her mouth. It was a kind of fragrant sweetness with the fragrance of the wine, which made her unable to help swallowing it directly.
Theoretically, the fermented rice grain should have been completely brewed and only the empty shell was left, which was as hard to chew as cotton. However, the rice grain that Manman ate was like the cooked rice. It was soft and not greasy and had a strong fragrance.
After swallowing it in one mouthful, Manman even wanted to imitate those people who drank wine and yell, "Refreshing!"
However, it was the reserve in her bones that stopped her from having such a thought.
Then, Manman couldn't care about anything else. She held up the earthenware cup and started to sip it continuously. While drinking, she revealed an expression of enjoyment like a cat eating fish, which looked quite cute.
Although Yuan Zhou was curious about the taste of the wine brewed by such rice grains, his business at noon started to get busy …
