The grandpa sighed with emotion only for a moment and it didn't delay him from ordering dishes.
This time, each person also had one serving of Pu Zi Corn. Each serving was two. Each Pu Zi Corn was about the size of a woman's palm and about the thickness of a finger.
The Pu Zi Corn was soon served. It was served in an emerald green enamel plate. The two pieces of Pu Zi Corn were neatly placed together.
They were wrapped with beige corn leaves. That's right. The Pu Zi Corn was made from the tender corn that had been ground into pulp. It was directly wrapped with the corn leaves and steamed in the pot.
The corn leaves were naturally cleaned by Yuan Zhou and he chose the three leaves near the corn cob. The leaves there were soft and delicate and didn't have any outer hair.
It was just right for steaming the Pu Zi Corn. Besides, the fragrance of the leaves could be immersed in the corn milk and make the taste richer.
The raw leaves appeared to be light yellow and turned beige after steaming. The inside of the leaves was wrapped with the square light golden Pu Zi Corn.
"Grandpa, your Pu Zi Corn." Zhou Jia set down the plate and said.
"I'm just waiting to eat it." The grandpa smiled and said.
"Enjoy your meal." Zhou Jia nodded her head and then continued to carry the dishes to the grandpa.
Only then did the grandpa withdraw his gaze from the plate beside him. That's right. His dishes hadn't arrived just now. He was looking at others' dishes.
Fortunately, the grandpa had a good moral standing. Therefore, the customers at the side didn't say anything. If it were Wuhai who was looking at him just now, he would probably jump up and hide to eat.
It couldn't be helped. Wuhai had long been famous. Even if people knew that he never robbed people he wasn't familiar with, they still couldn't help being on guard.
After all, it was better to be careful.
"It's really more fragrant when you look at your own dishes." The grandpa smelled the strong fragrance of the corn and said contentedly.
"Let me taste it and see if it's the same taste." The grandpa directly picked up a Pu Zi Corn with an expectant look.
"Hiss. It's still a little hot." The grandpa couldn't help changing his hands and then started to peel the corn leaves.
The leaves were folded very neatly by Yuan Zhou. They were square without any holes, but it was still very convenient to peel them off. The grandpa peeled off a layer of leaves gently and then the second layer and then the last layer.
The old man had only peeled off half of the last layer. He pinched the remaining leaves in his hand and took a bite.
The pale yellow color of the corn husk was even more obvious when the corn husk was peeled off. You could even see the golden skin of the ground corn kernels within.
The pancake looked thin, and the old man bit off the tip of the pancake with the leaves.
As soon as he bit into it, the aroma of the corn immediately filled his mouth. The soft texture and the aroma of the corn immediately occupied his entire taste buds.
When he chewed it carefully, he could still feel the glutinous taste of the corn itself. Moreover, as he chewed it, there was also a faint sweetness, which made the taste of the corn cake even more delicious.
While eating, the grandpa found that the Corn Pudding wasn't just soft. It had a coarse texture, and it was this coarse texture that made the Corn Pudding so glutinous.
"Hmm, not bad," the old man praised.
"Don't even think about it. Boss Yuan has never disappointed me. The sweetness is obviously the sweetness of the corn itself. It's so fragrant." The grandpa pinched the pancake and ate it while saying that. His actions weren't slow at all.
An ordinary Corn Pudding, however, had a rich taste. It not only had the natural fragrance of the corn, but also the natural sweetness of the corn, the glutinous taste, the freshness of the plants brought by the corn leaves, and the softness after being ground into pulp and steamed.
"As I said, the amount is still too little. It's not enough for an old man like me." The grandpa looked at the empty plate with only the corn leaves left and said helplessly.
"This is coarse grain. You can't eat too much at one time," Yuan Zhou said.
"It's not a big deal to eat it so rarely. You can eat more next time. At least three." The grandpa said smilingly.
"Yeah, yeah." Other customers who were eating the Corn Pudding at the side couldn't help chiming in.
"No, I can't." Yuan Zhou shook his head and refused.
"Boss Yuan, you are too strict with the rules." Although the grandpa knew he would be refused, he still shook his head and couldn't help laughing when he saw the prim manner of Yuan Zhou.
"Nothing can be accomplished without rules." Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
"Yes, yes, yes. You are even more old-fashioned than me." The grandpa murmured and then stood up to make way for Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou didn't answer him, but continued carrying the Corn Pudding out.
More than 10 minutes after the grandpa went out, the one-hour breakfast time had passed by. At that time, there were only about 20 people left in the line outside.
That extraordinarily tall girl was also among them.
She had an indifferent expression on her face. As she had been waiting in the line for a long time, she didn't even have any curiosity. She just waited calmly for her turn to enter the restaurant to eat.
Just at that time, the sound of light music sounded. The girl lowered her head and directly took out a small silver phone from the pocket of her sweatpants.
"Hello, good morning, Uncle Guang." The girl's voice wasn't as melodious as that of ordinary girls. Instead, it was a little hoarse and thick.
Obviously, the person on the other end of the phone was someone the girl knew. She spoke with a relaxed expression.
But soon, however, she became a little embarrassed.
"Come over now? Are you in such a hurry? Yes, I'm right here at Taoxi Road. "The girl answered the person on the other end of the phone.
It was unknown what the person on the other end of the phone said. The girl looked at the people in front of her and then said.
"Okay. I'll be there in about five minutes. Please wait for me, Uncle Guang." After saying that, the girl put away the phone and left the line.
However, before the tall girl with the backpack walked a few steps, someone said, "Wait. Are you leaving?"
"Me? I have something to do. "The girl was a little puzzled, but she still answered politely.
"But you haven't eaten yet." The customer behind the girl was a boy. He couldn't help saying that.
"Never mind. I'll buy some food on the way." The girl said freely.
"Eh …" The boy didn't know what to say. Even the customers at the side were stunned and didn't know what to say.
Nevertheless, the girl waved her hand and walked out of Taoxi Road quickly. She was tall and had long legs. Very soon, she disappeared from sight.
At that time, the crowd started to discuss.
"She seems to be the first customer to leave midway. That's rare."
"She must have made up her mind to cut off her wrists."
"No, no, no. She's not cutting off her wrists. It's obvious that she hasn't eaten Boss Yuan's food. Otherwise, it would be useless even if she cut off her legs."
"I don't care about other things. Doesn't that mean there's one extra breakfast among the 100 servings?"
As soon as the words were said, the scene instantly quieted down. Many people who didn't get in the line stared at the extra position eagerly.
In the end, the people from the Queuing Committee stepped forward and let the people who didn't get in the line fill the gap left by the girl.
Of course, the girl didn't know that. She was walking quickly to the place she had arranged with Uncle Guang on the phone.
It was a coffee shop not far from Taoxi Road.
