He could clearly see the appearance of the corn after it was split open.
It should be said that it was indeed the corn provided by the system. Every grain of corn was basically the same size and abnormally plump.
"Cha Cha Cha", the corn grains separated from the cob and made a slight sound.
Yuan Zhou's palms were dry. Every time he rubbed a whole row of corn, but when they fell into the bamboo strips, they automatically separated into grains and scattered in the green bamboo strips.
In fact, the history of corn cultivation was about 470 years. Now, the sown area had reached about 300 million mu. It was second only to rice and wheat, and ranked third among the food crops.
Because of the large amount of planting, there were many ways to eat it. What Yuan Zhou cooked was a very popular but extremely simple way to eat it in the southwest region.
The simpler it was, the harder it was to cook. For example, the Corn Dung Pa was cooked without a drop of water or flour. Under such circumstances, there were not only requirements for the choice of corn, but also the thickness of the corn that was ground.
If the corn was ground too coarsely, it would sting the throat when eaten and the taste would not be good.
However, if it was too fine, it would not be sticky and could not be shaped after steaming. The taste would only be mushy but not soft.
Yuan Zhou didn't even add sugar in the Corn Dung Pancakes he made. Thus, it was necessary to grind the Corn Dung Pancakes evenly. Only in this way could the sugar content in the Corn Dung Pancakes be fully broken. Only then could the Corn Dung Pancakes taste fresh and sweet.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhou was grinding the corn, he did not peel all the corn kernels before grinding. Instead, he started to turn the stone mill after peeling enough corn for the first grinding.
"Pa Pa Pa", as the stone mill turned, the sound of the corn kernels being crushed by the stone mill sounded continuously.
Yuan Zhou turned the stone mill with one hand and pinched the corn cob with the other. With a gentle stroke of his thumb, a whole row of corn kernels was peeled off.
Although Yuan Zhou was turning the stone mill with one hand and peeling the corn with the other, his speed did not slow down.
"Hua La Hua La", the roughly crushed corn kernels slowly flowed into the porcelain basin under the stone mill.
In the white porcelain basin, the light yellow corn kernels had a syrupy texture.
On the other side, the corn kernels that Yuan Zhou peeled this time were not placed in the bamboo strips. Instead, they were directly peeled into the stone mill and crushed as it turned.
In the Yuanzhou shop, Yuan Zhou was making breakfast seriously. As time passed, the sky became brighter and more people lined up.
On the other hand, Zhou Jia and Cheng Ying had arrived a long time ago. They were helping the queuing committee to maintain the queue.
There were only 100 servings of breakfast, so the line in the morning was the least crowded.
Moreover, the people in the morning were also the most diverse, because Yuan Zhou's breakfast was the cheapest.
It wasn't that the price was cheaper than other dishes. In fact, Yuan Zhou's 1 RMB tremella was still there.
Breakfast was cheap because there was only one type of breakfast, and each person could only order it once.
Lunch and dinner were different. Although the same dish could only be ordered once, ever since Meng Meng discovered that she could order different dishes to fill her stomach, very few customers who came to the restaurant could resist ordering only one dish.
It couldn't be helped. Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were too good, and the food he made was too tempting. No one could resist it.
However, breakfast was different. There was only one thing that could not be done.
Therefore, those who wanted to save money and eat less to lose weight had a better choice.
According to the netizens, it was the most cost-effective and healthy way to get up early in the morning to eat breakfast in the Yuanzhou shop.
In the breakfast line, except for the first 14 regular customers, the people lining up at the back were different every day.
Today, there was a girl with a very unfamiliar face.
Zhou Jia noticed her at first glance, even though her position was not close to the front, because she was very conspicuous.
It was not because of her appearance. She looked delicate and pretty, but she was at least 1.8 meters tall.
Because Ling Hong didn't come, she was the tallest in the line.
By the way, Wuhai and Yuan Zhou were about the same height, both of them were 1.75 meters tall, while Ling Hong was more than 1.8 meters tall.
The girl was very thin, carrying a backpack. She looked at the closed door of the Yuanzhou shop with curiosity.
Because the food was steamed in advance, the shop emitted a trace of fragrance. Therefore, there were many people looking at the door of the shop.
For example, Wuhai had already leaned on the door again.
Seeing Wuhai's appearance, everyone didn't find it strange. However, Zhou Xi, who was standing in the second line, suddenly raised his voice when he saw Wuhai's appearance, "I have a couplet now, but I don't know who can match it."
Zhou Xi turned his head and looked at the people lining up behind him with a smile.
"Did you play the couplet this morning?" someone asked with interest.
"No, I just thought of it suddenly." Zhou Xi shook his head.
The grandpa who liked to eat Soup Dumplings said, "Don't keep us guessing. Tell us what the first part is."
"Okay, but this couplet is related to Eaves Wu." Zhou Xi looked at Wuhai with a pleading look.
Wu Hai was intoxicated by the fragrance wafting from the restaurant and was busy comforting his stomach. When he heard Zhou Xi's words, he replied without raising his head, "Just say it if you want. Don't ask me."
"Okay, I'll say it directly." Zhou Xi nodded and then turned his head to say, "The first part is: Wuhai lies on the eaves of the door, Eaves Wu."
"Eaves? Hahaha, what a good first part. "Hearing the first part and seeing Wuhai's action, the grandpa instantly burst into laughter.
Even the others couldn't help but laugh.
Zhou Jia and Cheng Ying, who were maintaining the line, looked at each other and also covered their mouths to snicker.
It couldn't be helped. The first part of the couplet was too vivid. Wu Hai was currently lying on the eaves of the door, and Eaves Wu was his nickname. Nothing could be more appropriate than this.
"Who can match the second part?" Zhou Xi smiled calmly.
"This is not a problem for me," the grandpa said after he had laughed enough.
Just when the grandpa was about to say something, the door of the Yuanzhou shop suddenly opened, revealing Yuan Zhou's solemn expression and meticulous face mask.
"Morning." Yuan Zhou's clear voice came from the face mask.
Everyone smiled and greeted him.
After the greetings, Yuan Zhou turned around and went into the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast.
Zhou Jia then stood at the door and said, "Breakfast will start in five minutes. Those in front, you can start lining up to get your number."
Then, all the customers went to get their number. For a moment, they didn't care about the second part of the couplet anymore.
Only the grandpa said hurriedly, "I'll tell you the second part after we go in."
"Ok." Zhou Xi answered.
Although the second part of the couplet was related to Wuhai, Wuhai didn't care at all. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Yuan Zhou, "What's the breakfast today? It smells so good."
"Corn Dung Pancakes, or Rice Dung Pancakes. One serving for each, two," Yuan Zhou said.
"It's a new breakfast. Won't two be too little?" Even before they started to eat, Wu Hai started to say it was too little.
"This is coarse grain. It's very filling," Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"Ok. I want one." Wuhai was used to being refused, so he didn't care. He turned his head and ordered Zhou Jia.
"Rice Dung Pancakes are so good. I haven't eaten good food for a long time." The grandpa recalled the time when they could only eat coarse grain during the famine and sighed with emotion.
