While Broth was eating the ham sausage contentedly, Yuan Zhou directly turned around and went back to the restaurant. After all, Broth had become a spirit and didn't need Yuan Zhou to feed it.
Time passed quickly. After making breakfast, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the rice wine that Chen Wei had bought three days ago.
As time went by, the taste of the rice wine became stronger. The sweetness gradually spread and the fragrance of the wine became more mellow. As Yuan Zhou didn't intend to distill it, the alcohol content wouldn't be too high. Basically, it wouldn't exceed 20%.
He carefully filtered out the clear liquor in the middle. It was different this time. Yuan Zhou didn't leave the rice grains inside. Instead, he tried to filter it as clean as possible. This time, he directly poured it into a cup with a size that could only hold 100g.
"Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan, can we drink it today?" Chen Wei arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes before the opening time.
"Ten more minutes," Yuan Zhou looked at the time and refused.
"Alright. I think it's about time. I'll wait." Chen Wei didn't regard himself as an outsider. He straightforwardly sat down on the chair and started to drink the wine.
Yuan Zhou nodded, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted. Then, he began to do his own thing. He scooped the wine into the small cup, which was exactly 100g.
In a little while, Chen Wei couldn't sit still anymore. He kept feeling that the clear fragrance of the wine went straight into his nose.
"Is this the wine I'm going to drink later?" Chen Wei asked directly.
"Yes," Yuan Zhou nodded and put the cup away. Then, he put away the remaining distillers' grains and prepared to use it for other purposes.
Then, Chen Wei was stuck. As someone who always followed the rules, he was naturally too embarrassed to ask to drink now again. He could only endure and look for other things to divert his attention.
At that time, Yuan Zhou was preparing the ingredients and had basically finished cooking. Therefore, the two of them started to stare at each other.
"Boss?" The arrival of Mu Xiaoyun eased the awkward atmosphere between the two men.
"Yes, come here," Yuan Zhou nodded and took out the wine cup on the tray, signaling to Chen Wei to bring it to him.
"Thank you," Chen Wei first thanked the little girl with a gentle expression and then said, "Boss Yuan, one more serving of Phoenix-Tail Prawns, please."
"Okay, one moment," Yuan Zhou answered straightforwardly.
At this time, other guests also came in one after another.
"Please take a seat. Let me know what you want to eat." Mu Xiaoyun had always been serious about her work.
"No problem, Xiaoyun. Have you eaten yet?" The customer liked Mu Xiaoyun very much and asked with a smile.
"I always come after eating." Mu Xiaoyun nodded and said seriously.
"Haha, you're right. If you don't eat, I'm afraid you'll starve to death just from the smell." The man sitting beside Chen Wei laughed and said.
"That's right. Ever since I ate at Boss Yuan's place, I haven't gone shopping for a long time." A pretty girl pouted and complained.
"Then why don't you ask Boss Yuan to treat you to a meal?" Someone immediately jeered.
"Forget it. I've never seen Boss Yuan treat anyone to a meal." The pretty girl curled her lips. She didn't believe him at all.
"That makes sense. Once he has a lady boss, Boss Yuan will definitely be easier to talk to." The man beside her suddenly said that.
"But do you think Boss Yuan can find a lady boss?" At that time, Wu Hai said in a low voice.
"I want to recommend myself." The pretty girl immediately contradicted him.
"Humph. That sounds nice. But according to my careful observation, Boss Yuan seems to open the restaurant and study the dishes every day. After that, there's nothing else. He's not interesting at all." Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said affirmatively.
"Eh …" The pretty girl thought of such a life and then stopped talking decisively. However, she still felt something was wrong.
"Wait. Stop quarreling. Look at Boss Yuan." At that time, Chen Wei said.
Chen Wei had been listening to the gossip attentively. When he turned his head and saw Yuan Zhou cook the Phoenix-Tail Prawns, he immediately said.
"What's wrong?" Wu Hai answered first. The others also looked at Chen Wei curiously.
"Don't you feel the way Boss Yuan cooks the Phoenix-Tail Prawns is very weird?" It was the first time for Chen Wei to order the Phoenix-Tail Prawns. Of course, he wanted to eat it with the liquor.
However, he suddenly found the way Yuan Zhou caught the prawns and processed them were all very weird.
"It seems so." The pretty girl nodded her head thoughtfully and said.
"Indeed." The several people all stared at the way Yuan Zhou processed the Phoenix-Tail Prawns.
At that time, however, they had a tacit understanding and didn't ask him immediately. Judging from the mask worn by Yuan Zhou and the earnest look in his eyes, it wasn't a good time to ask him.
The customers in the restaurant waited with bated breath.
Not until Yuan Zhou carried the Phoenix-Tail Prawns to him did Chen Wei ask impatiently, "Boss Yuan, why is the way you process the Phoenix-Tail Prawns so weird?"
"Um?" Yuan Zhou didn't react immediately. Fortunately, he didn't take off the mask. Otherwise, his solemn image would probably be greatly damaged.
"Before entering the mouth, the prawns shouldn't be contaminated with anyone's breath, including mine." Half a beat slower, Yuan Zhou finally reacted and said solemnly at once.
"So it's true that Boss Yuan didn't do it because he loves money yesterday?" A short man suddenly said.
"Yesterday?" Some people who didn't know the truth surrounded the short man and asked him.
The short man told them what had happened yesterday in a few words. Everyone looked at Yuan Zhou for a while and then looked at the prawns placed there with a complicated look in their eyes.
"No wonder it's so delicious. He actually managed to do it without touching the prawns before carrying them to the customers. Even the processing requirements for the ingredients are so strict." Almost everyone had such an understanding of Yuan Zhou in their hearts.
It seemed to be a matter of course that he cooked it so well. After all, it could be seen from the processing of the ingredients.
It made sense that it was delicious.
"Please enjoy your meal." Yuan Zhou gestured to Chen Wei to the Phoenix-Tail Prawns and the Rice Wine in front of him.
"Ok. Ok." Chen Wei also admired Yuan Zhou. Although the food was like feeding a cat, there was only a little bit of it.
There were only 100g of Rice Wine and 8 prawns that could be counted clearly at first glance.
However, the cup was very good-looking. The green exterior was like a bamboo joint and the bamboo was painted on the outside, which seemed to be a good match. Even Chen Wei, who usually didn't pay attention to such things, felt it was quite beautiful.
Of course, the taste of the wine was the most important.
Picking up the wine glass, Chen Wei took a small sip. Despite his solid muscles and impatient appearance, the way he drank wine could be considered elegant.
As soon as the wine entered his throat, the refreshing taste immediately melted in his mouth. It was cold and refreshing, soft and smooth with the fragrance of the rice grains. There was also an unknown fragrance that lingered in his mouth until it flowed into his stomach along with the wine.
"Gu Dong", Chen Wei drank another sip eagerly to find the taste.
This time, there was surprisingly a different taste. It was a little scorching like the sun in early summer. It made people feel a little hot but didn't hurt them. The wine flowed down along his throat.
Chen Wei picked up the cup again and started to look forward to the taste of the next sip.
For Chen Wei, the clear and transparent wine swayed in the milky white cup with only 20 degrees of alcohol. However, it made people feel it was as fascinating as hard liquor.
