Once Wuhai left, the place returned to normal. Master Qian looked at Yuan Zhou and then at Wuhai. In the end, he didn't say anything and just lowered his head to look at the girl across the table.
"Have a taste." Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and gestured.
"For us?" The girl swallowed the saliva secretly and then asked lightly.
"Yes. You guys eat the steamed buns and I want to eat some BBQ. Is that okay?" Yuan Zhou answered the girl in the first half of the sentence and looked at Master Qian inquiringly.
"Yes, of course." Master Qian answered immediately.
"Go ahead. Have a taste." Yuan Zhou gestured again.
After saying that, Yuan Zhou took up the BBQ skewers first. He didn't care that the skewers had become cold and just started to eat.
"Go ahead." Master Qian also saw the girl's desire to eat. Fearing that she would feel embarrassed, he took up the steamed buns himself and then said.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you." The girl pursed her lips and then reached out to take the steamed buns after expressing her gratitude.
The white and plump steamed buns were about the size of an adult man's fist and emitted steam and fragrance.
There were 18 beautiful folds on the top of the steamed buns. If one looked carefully, he would find that the folds were exactly the same. When he pinched the steamed buns with his hand, the soft feeling made him feel that it was not a steamed bun but a ball of cotton.
Besides, the steamed buns that seemed to have just been taken out of the pot were actually warm in his hand. It wasn't very hot and was just the right temperature to hold and eat.
"Gu Gu". Smelling the fragrance of the steamed buns, the girl's stomach made a hungry sound.
"You actually feel hungry?" The girl said in surprise.
"What's wrong? Is your stomach not good? "Master Qian asked nervously.
Yuan Zhou also looked at the girl without a trace and waited for her answer.
"No. I have pancreatic cancer. I rarely feel hungry since I was diagnosed," the girl shook her head and said.
"You can still eat it as long as you want," Master Qian said and then added, "It's good that you feel hungry."
"You can try to eat some," Yuan Zhou said in a low voice.
"Um." The girl nodded her head and then took a small bite of the steamed bun.
It was very soft. The outer layer was smooth and the inner layer was soft. It was the well-fermented skin of the steamed bun.
"Hiss. It's a little hot." The girl couldn't help but gasp in embarrassment, but she still bit the bun and ate it.
Because he bit directly into the stuffing, the fragrance of the stuffing was even stronger.
"Oh, is it the taste of crab roe?" the girl said while eating.
"It's made from the meat and roe of the Shengfang Crab." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"There's so much crab meat. How many crabs are there?" the girl asked in surprise.
"Not much, just a steamed bun and a crab, with some pork plum as seasoning," said Yuan Zhou.
"No wonder it smells so good." The girl nodded and continued eating.
This time, the skin of the steamed bun was made by Yuan Zhou to be especially soft. Even if the steamed bun was not pinched with force, there would still be a dent in it. Although it was dented, it did not become stiff when eaten. Instead, it melted in the mouth like cotton, leaving behind the aroma of wheat.
Moreover, the shreds of crab meat and the hand-chopped soft and tender pork plum meat were combined together, making it incomparably delicious.
The fragrance of the pork, the freshness of the crab meat, the crab roe that was the finishing touch, and the pure wheat fragrance of the skin. The feeling of entering the mouth together was really wonderful.
In particular, the stuffing was tightly wrapped, but the gravy could be chewed out when chewed.
Presumably, the gravy was all wrapped in the stuffing. When chewed, it burst in the mouth like an exploding egg, revealing the extremely fresh and fragrant taste inside.
A steamed bun was enough for the girl before she got sick to eat it with a cup of milk for breakfast.
But after she got sick, she often didn't feel hungry because of the pancreatic disorder. She could only eat two such steamed bun a day if the girl didn't force her to eat it.
She had to eat it in the morning and night. She wouldn't eat it for the whole day in between.
As today was a special day to go to Xihe Bridge, the girl had actually eaten her favorite Coconut Chicken in advance. But now, she could eat up the whole steamed bun quickly and even had an impulse to eat another one.
"Delicious," the girl said contentedly.
"It's definitely delicious." Yuan Zhou nodded his head deservedly.
"It's really very delicious, but it's just a little less." Master Qian couldn't help smacking his lips to recall the taste.
Master Qian could eat several steamed buns of such a size in one meal. One was indeed not enough.
"Um." A satisfied smile appeared on the girl's elegant and beautiful face.
After she squinted her eyes, she picked up the hand towel on the table and wiped her white fingers carefully.
After slowly and earnestly wiping her hands, the young lady spoke with a serious expression on her face.
"Thank you for your steamed bun. It's really delicious. I'm so lucky to have such a …" The girl thanked Yuan Zhou word by word earnestly.
However, the content of her words sounded a little sad. Before the girl finished her words, however, she was interrupted by Yuan Zhou.
"It's a total of 338 yuan. Thank you for your patronage. You can pay me by bank transfer or cash," Yuan Zhou said solemnly with a straight face.
"Hah."
"Ah?"
On both sides of Yuan Zhou, Master Qian and the girl were both stupefied.
Master Qian was astonished. He couldn't help smacking his lips again to recall the taste of the steamed bun worth more than 300 yuan.
On the other hand, the girl was purely dumbfounded. The farewell mood that she had just brewed dissipated at once.
"The crab is the freshest Shengfang Crab of the season. You may not know about Shengfang, so let me put it in another way." Looking at the two people who were still stupefied, Yuan Zhou said considerately, "Only the top-notch Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab can be compared with the Shengfang Crab. But even the top-notch Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab can't compare with the Shengfang Crab in this steamed bun. Do you understand?"
While talking about the steamed bun, Yuan Zhou pointed at the empty steamer.
"Um." "Um." The two people nodded their heads repeatedly when they heard the question.
"And for this steamed bun, I used an entire Shengfang Female Crab, which weighs 3 taels and 5 qian each. Then, the whole crab was stuffed into the steamed bun. Let's not count the other ingredients. Do you know how much a 3 taels and 5 qian crab costs?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"I don't know." The girl thought for a moment, then said in a daze, "But the best crab I've eaten before was 5.0 taels of male and 3.5 taels of female crabs, four of each, and then a box of 2288 yuan."
In this way, the crabs she had eaten, on average, cost 286 yuan each. The girl knew very well that the crab she had eaten was not the top-notch Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab.
Moreover, the boss had said just now that the crab he used was much better than the top-notch Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab.
Therefore, no matter how she thought about it, the steamed bun that cost 338 yuan was indeed not expensive.
As for doubting Yuan Zhou's words? The two people sitting there had no doubt that such a delicious steamed bun could only be made by a top-notch master of ingredients. There was no doubt about this.
But there was an important question that the girl asked directly, "Weren't you the one who treated us to this steamed bun?"
