It's illegal to eat humans …
This was Gabriel's second reaction.
When Gabriel pulled his thoughts back from the wild horse, he finally understood what Zhou Jia meant.
"No, no, no. I mean, are there any specialties that we can eat?" Gabriel made a gesture of eating, emphasizing the word "edible".
"This is our menu. Everything is edible. They are all specialties." This time, Zhou Jia didn't say anything else. Instead, she pointed at the menu on the table and said.
This menu had already been changed under Yuan Zhou's suggestion. Now, it was in Chinese and English.
After all, Yuan Zhou had said that he was considered an international restaurant now. Adding an English menu would also make it more convenient for foreigners to order.
Therefore, the system naturally agreed to this reasonable request and settled the new menu in one night.
The changes to the menu system were also very interesting. The menu on the wall behind Yuan Zhou looked very Chinese. The system didn't change it. Instead, it added English annotations of the restaurant's rules on the small menu.
Therefore, Zhou Jia pointed at the small menu for Gabriel to see.
"Oh, okay." Gabriel couldn't help but shrug. Then, he opened the menu on the table and started reading.
Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou's English level should be similar to that of a kindergarten student. Therefore, he actually didn't know how the system translated the names of some dishes. However, it didn't affect him from understanding what others ordered. Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn't mind.
No one knew how Gabriel looked at the menu. He pointed at the bamboo chicken in the Yunnan dish and said to Zhou Jia, "This one, this one, and this one."
That's right. Gabriel ordered three dishes in one go, and all three dishes were related to bamboo.
Did he think that Chinese pandas loved to eat delicacies?
A Hani bamboo chicken, bamboo rice, and a duck wrapped in bamboo strips. Apart from the rice, all three dishes were meat.
"Okay. We pay the bill first, then you eat. You need to pay in US dollars." Zhou Jia explained patiently.
"Okay." Gabriel tactfully paid the same price in US dollars. He already knew this when he was in the bank, so he didn't ask much.
"Please wait a moment. Your dishes will be served soon." After saying that, Zhou Jia nodded her head politely and then left.
Gabriel, on the other hand, was not idle. He took out his mobile phone and began to record without leaving a trace. His eyes were fixed on Yuan Zhou.
Gabriel's behavior didn't attract much attention because there were more people in the store than he was exaggerating.
For example, a girl two or three seats away from him was staring at Yuan Zhou with both hands supporting her chin. There was also a young man who was sneaking glances at Yuan Zhou.
This person must be a chef like Gabriel, but this person seemed to be here to steal his skills.
Engineer Cheng, who was standing at the side and watching Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship, would glare at the young man from time to time. Then, when Yuan Zhou was cooking, he would look at Yuan Zhou attentively again.
Obviously, Yuan Zhou didn't care about that. After all, Yuan Zhou's cooking skills were obvious. If one wasn't at the same level as him, one wouldn't be able to understand why he did that. Besides, it wasn't easy to learn cooking skills by sneaking glances at him.
"Chicken wrapped in bamboo? I wonder how he cooked it. "Gabriel looked at Yuan Zhou in the kitchen curiously, waiting for him to start cooking the dish.
That's right. Gabriel understood the meaning of bamboo chicken from the system's translation.
Just as Zhou Jia said to wait for a moment, Yuan Zhou had already taken out the bamboo chicken from the charcoal fire at the side.
After all, bamboo chicken was a dish that needed to be prepared in advance, because it needed to be cooked with authentic chestnut charcoal for two hours.
The bamboo chicken was actually very particular. Not to mention other things, just the chestnut charcoal alone needed to be baked with chestnut tree branches for two hours.
The reason why it was said to be baked was because the chestnut charcoal had a large fire, was hard and resistant to fire, and the finished product was also beautifully shaped.
The bamboo used to hold the bamboo chicken couldn't be sloppy. It needed to be a year old green bamboo, and the thickest bamboo tube was used to make the bamboo chicken.
If Gabriel was here, he would be able to see Yuan Zhou chopping the bamboo in front of him.
The bamboo provided by the system was live bamboo. Fortunately, the system still cared about the small space in the restaurant, so it provided the thick live bamboo that was bred in the water.
It was a section of green live bamboo that was half a meter long and 20 centimeters in diameter. The distance between the bamboo nodes was long, and the middle part was straight while the outside was straight. The cut part emitted a light bamboo fragrance.
In order to ensure that the bamboo fragrance wouldn't be lost, the system only used the middle 20 centimeters of the bamboo.
The bamboo used was also the year old green bamboo from Dian Province. Dian Province itself was one of the world's recognized origin and modern distribution centers of bamboo plants. It had the reputation of "Hometown of Bamboo", and the number of bamboo species in Dian Province also ranked first in the country.
That was because the soil environment there was very suitable for the growth of bamboo.
Since the supplementary materials of the bamboo chicken were so exquisite, the chicken used as the main ingredient was even more different. The chicken was a famous native chicken breed in Dian Province, the Nixi chicken.
In the words of the system, the chicken was born to be extraordinary.
At that time, Yuan Zhou subconsciously asked how it was born to be extraordinary. Then, he was forced to watch the growth process of a chicken again.
Fortunately, with the baptism of various raw chickens, pigs, and cows, Yuan Zhou watched the system refresh the breeding rules of the Nixi chicken calmly in his mind.
"I'm just learning the breeding methods of the Nixi chicken," Yuan Zhou thought to himself in a self-comforting manner.
However, he still read the rules very carefully. After all, it was also the standard of a good chef to know his own ingredients.
The system displayed, "This chicken is mainly produced in the Nixi District, Zhongdian County, Dian Province. But it was recorded as a Tibetan chicken. Actually, the two are different."
"The Nixi chicken has a long history. The main color of its hair is pure black, while the Tibetan chicken is mainly variegated. The beak of the Tibetan chicken is mostly black and the meat color of a few is yellow. The rainbow chicken is mostly orange, followed by the yellow chestnut, which is different from the Nixi chicken. "
"The Nixi chicken lives in the high mountains and valleys, where the ridges are cut, the riverbed is narrow, the river is rapid, and the valley is steep. The climate is cold and the change of four seasons is not obvious. The system uses the first snow as drinking water and the sweet snow lotus as the supplementary fruit. Occasionally, it is fed with herbaceous snow lotus."
"The chicken is small in size and has not been crossbred. The gene is complete and the feed is pure natural. As it lives in the highland area, it has a large amount of exercise. Therefore, the meat is firm and the skeleton is petite."
"The system selects the Nixi chicken that can chirp and has grown for 100 days naturally. The chicken that hasn't chirped or laid eggs is the most delicious."
"Um, got it. I'll cook one to eat later." Yuan Zhou read the introduction calmly and then decided to eat one to calm down.
This was the reaction of the new breed of Nixi chicken that Yuan Zhou had just waited for.
Looking at the Bamboo Tube Chicken being carried to them, Gabriel and Yuan Zhou had the same thought. Such a fragrant and precious chicken must be eaten first to show respect.
