With this thought in mind, Zhou Da's chopsticks did not stop moving. He aimed directly at the braised pork in the bowl.
The square piece of red braised pork on the plate was missing a piece, but it was still intact. The corners were neat and tidy. When Zhou Da picked up another piece, he touched the other pieces of red braised pork. The meat in the bowl shook a little, like a bowl of jelly that was shaking, full of gelatin.
"Oh, it's delicious," Zhou Da praised with squinted eyes.
Zhou Da swallowed it whole. The gelatinous oil overflowed from the braised pork. The fragrance lingered in his mouth, making his face soften involuntarily.
"It's so delicious." Zhou Da swallowed the meat in his mouth. Then, he squinted his eyes and picked up another piece to eat.
Zhou Da didn't even need to look to know where the Red Braised Pork with Fermented Grains was placed and where he had just picked it up.
There were some grains of fermented rice on the Red Braised Pork. Normally, after fermenting the grains of rice into fermented fermented rice, the texture would be dry stir-fried and dry. It wouldn't taste good at all.
Because the rice grains were soaked and fermented, so soft that only the outer shell of the rice grain was left. The essence in the middle of the rice grain had long evaporated into the rice wine, so the fermented rice was naturally not tasty.
In the past, chefs would directly scoop out the rice grains and only use fermented rice broth. However, Yuan Zhou's Red Braised Pork with Fermented Rice had fermented rice on top.
"I didn't expect the fermented glutinous rice to be so delicious. Although it's not glutinous or chewy, it's soft. There's even a copious amount of wine juice inside. The taste is really not bad," Zhou Da praised while eating.
Zhou Da's behavior was not strange at all, because there were many people eating like this in the restaurant. They nodded their heads in agreement as they ate, and they ate quickly.
That's right. The regular customers of Yuan Zhou's restaurant had already mastered the skill of speaking fluently while eating. Moreover, they could also eat quickly.
The key was that the Red Braised Pork in his mouth tasted even better when the wine was mixed with it. It was sweet and not greasy, but the aroma of the meat was very strong. There was also the feeling of his mouth full of oil, which made Zhou Da unable to stop his chopsticks.
This time, Zhou Da found that four pieces of braised pork had disappeared from his plate. Now, there were only two pieces of meat left on his plate.
There were a total of nine pieces of fermented rice braised pork on Yuan Zhou's plate. He had eaten three pieces just now, but now there were only two pieces left on the plate, which meant that four pieces were missing.
"Where's my meat?" Zhou Da subconsciously looked at the plate and asked.
"I have it," Zhang Yan said directly.
"President?" Zhou Da turned around and saw President Zhang happily swallowing the Red Braised Pork in his bowl.
"Have you forgotten? I've promised to give it a try. Alright, the remaining two pieces of meat are yours. "Chairman Zhang said generously.
"Okay. Thank you, president." Zhou Da nodded and turned back to continue eating.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Da subconsciously thought as he picked up the meat, but before he could figure it out, the meat on his chopsticks caught his attention.
"Let's eat the meat first." Zhou Da stuffed the meat into his mouth.
Zhou Da slowly ate the last two pieces of meat. There was only a layer of gravy left on the plate. At that moment, a hand reached over and took the plate away.
"President?" Zhou Da looked over and saw Zhang Yan's usual solemn face.
"You didn't order the rice. I happen to have half a bowl of rice left, but I've finished my dishes. So I used the leftover gravy to soak the rice. I can't waste it." Zhang Yan explained his behavior clearly.
Zhou Da looked at Zhang Yan's small bowl. There was indeed half a bowl of rice left, no more and no less.
"Okay, president." Zhou Da thought of the delicacy of the Red Braised Pork with Fermented Rice just now. He resisted the formality of inviting Zhang Yan to eat and nodded.
"Um." Zhang Yan nodded and directly poured the rice in his bowl into the plate with the Red Braised Pork with Fermented Rice.
After all, no matter how much he poured the rice, there would still be a layer of gravy left on the plate. By doing so, he could eat up the gravy to the maximum extent.
The gravy in the plate was dark amber in color. Once the crystal clear rice grains were poured into it, they were stained with the gravy.
With a sound of "Da Da", Zhang Yan quickly stirred the gravy with his chopsticks. Soon, the gravy covered the white rice.
The rice was covered by the amber-colored gravy. Under the light, the crystal clear oil droplets could be seen, making it look extraordinarily alluring.
"Fragrant." Zhang Yan took a deep breath and then shoved the rice into his mouth.
Once the rice entered his mouth, Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh. It was too delicious.
It was just like the Rice Soaked in Oil Gravy that he could only eat once in a while when he was young. The rich oil droplets were wrapped around the rice grains. It had both the fragrance of the rice and the taste of the dish itself.
Even after eating the delicious Rice Soaked in Oil Gravy, Zhang Yan still didn't let go of Zhou Da. The remaining Steamed Pork with Rice Noodle Soup and another dish didn't escape Zhang Yan's chopsticks either.
Luckily, due to his old age, Zhang Yan didn't have as much of an appetite as Wuhai. He only tasted the remaining dish and finished one-third of it.
When all the plates and bowls on the table were empty, Zhou Da stared blankly for a long time. Only then did he sigh indiscernibly. He didn't even raise his head or bid farewell to Zhang Yan. He just covered his face and walked out of the restaurant with quick steps.
"Not bad. He knows what's good and bad." Looking at Zhou Da's back, Zhang Yan nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he turned his head and said to Yuan Zhou, "Yuan, I'm going back now. I'll come again next time."
"Ok, Chairman. Take care." Yuan Zhou put down the dish in his hand and nodded his head.
Just like that, Zhang Yan left the restaurant in satisfaction. When he left, he even touched his belly without anyone noticing. Obviously, he had eaten a little too much for dinner today.
At that moment, a fragrant wind blew over. Yuan Zhou saw Yin Ya enter the restaurant wearing a red shirt and black trousers.
The red shirt made Yin Ya's skin look snow-white and her black hair look very beautiful.
In fact, during business hours, even if someone poured a whole bottle of perfume on their body and entered the restaurant, no one would be able to smell it. After all, the system was afraid that the smell would affect the customers and had isolated it.
"What do you want to eat today?" Yuan Zhou lowered his hand and raised his head to look at Yin Ya and asked.
"Pork liver stew, a bowl of plain white rice, and watermelon juice?" Yin Ya found a seat and sat down. Then, she directly ordered the dishes.
"No. There's also longan and red date tea," Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
"I don't want to drink it hot," Yin Ya frowned.
"There are still three days left. You can start drinking it," Yuan Zhou said in a low voice.
"What?" Yin Ya didn't understand what Yuan Zhou was talking about. However, once she asked, she realized that Yuan Zhou was talking about her menstrual period.
Because of what happened last time, Yin Ya only blushed slightly and nodded her head, "Ok. I'll change it to that. That's all."
"Ok. Please wait a moment," Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"By the way, are you going abroad soon?" Yin Ya asked hurriedly.
Actually, Yin Ya didn't plan to come today. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so late in the queue. However, she heard that Yuan Zhou was going abroad soon and couldn't help but come over to ask.
"After all, we are all friends. It's normal to ask if I'm going abroad," Yin Ya told herself.
