Le Yi didn't like greasy food. Girls all wanted to look beautiful. Although the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce was very delicious, she still chose beauty over plump, which was a common problem of women.
Therefore, she wasn't a qualified foodie. However, this dish completely made Le Yi ignore everything else. She straightforwardly entered into a scramble for food with Jiang Changxi.
"Le Yi, you don't like eating meat. It's too greasy. Eat the noodles. Here are your noodles." Jiang Changxi protected the plate with one hand and pointed at the noodles carried by Yuan Zhou with the other.
"Let's talk about that later. Besides, it's not meat, but rice." Le Yi corrected her.
"The taste is exactly the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce. Be good. Eat your noodles." Jiang Changxi didn't yield even an inch.
What a joke. In such a short time, there were only two pieces left on the plate. Out of a total of six pieces, she had only tasted two.
"Changxi, after I eat it, I can compare if it's the dish passed down by my ancestors." Le Yi said earnestly.
"But you have already tasted two pieces." Jiang Changxi looked at the plate and was a little hesitant. Soon, however, she said firmly.
"But Changxi, it's you who invited me here to eat." Le Yi suddenly said that.
"Let's do it this way. Le Yi, you order a serving of rice and I'll give you the essence of the broth." Jiang Changxi thought for a while and added.
"The Rice with Meat Gravy is super delicious."
"All right." Le Yi agreed to such a proposal.
"Boss Yuan, give me another serving of plain white rice of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine. She wants it." Having saved the two pieces of Braised Pork with Soy Sauce, Jiang Changxi was quite happy. She pointed at Le Yi and said.
"One moment." Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
The plain white rice of Yuan Zhou was also made of Jing Shan Qiao Rice. The rice grains were crystal clear and emitted the natural fragrance of rice. They piled up into a lovely round shape in the small jade-colored bowl.
"It's so little, but it's enough." Le Yi wrinkled her nose mischievously.
"Here's the broth." During the time when Yuan Zhou served the rice, Jiang Changxi had finished eating a piece of braised pork. She was still chewing another piece in her mouth and said with one hand covering her mouth.
Without saying anything, Le Yi picked up the small bowl and poured the rice directly into the small plate. It was just enough to fill the plate, so that the soup would not be wasted to the greatest extent.
He carefully stirred the rice. As he stirred, the rice and the meat broth slowly mixed together, emitting an even more enchanting aroma.
"It smells so good." Jiang Changxi swallowed her Braised Pork and looked at Le Yi's rice.
"Indeed." Le Yi looked at the bright red color on the rice grains and said with satisfaction.
She scooped up a mouthful of rice with the spoon used to hold the noodle soup and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. In an instant, Le Yi was conquered. The sweet taste of the braised pork with soy sauce and the fragrance of the rice were ingeniously blended together.
Le Yi chewed on it. The rice grains were soft and springy. The soup ran in her mouth and eventually returned to the rice grains, bringing out the fragrance once again. Le Yi directly picked up the plate and started eating in an unladylike manner.
"I feel a little regretful." Seeing Le Yi eat so happily, Jiang Changxi muttered. Then, she quickly picked up the Clear Broth Noodle Soup at the side and ate a few mouthfuls quickly, smiling contentedly.
In a little while, Le Yi ate up the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce Mixed Rice in the small plate. Now, the plate really didn't seem to have been filled with vegetables as it was extraordinarily clean.
"Boss, can I ask you a question?" Le Yi stopped Yuan Zhou and said.
Yuan Zhou turned his head and didn't say yes. Le Yi said again, "May I ask why the Vegetarian Braised Pork with Soy Sauce you cooked is so delicious? It's no different from the real one."
"Because my name is Yuan Zhou." Yuan Zhou said primly.
"Haw?" Although Le Yi was a lady, she had never thought that Yuan Zhou would say that.
Even if he said it was inconvenient to answer, it would be much more normal than that.
"What do you mean?" Le Yi stopped being surprised and asked again.
"Literally." Yuan Zhou knitted his brows. The answer was obviously very clear.
"So you mean if your name isn't Yuan Zhou, you can't cook such delicious dishes?" Le Yi ridiculed him.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou answered with a nod, indicating seriously that Le Yi was not wrong.
"Ho Ho..." Le Yi couldn't help laughing.
However, the onlookers at the side were used to it, because Wuhai had already asked this question more than once and Yuan Zhou's answer was exactly the same every time.
Now Wuhai wasn't there, but there were many people besides Wuhai who heard that.
"Someone asked this question again." A customer said.
"I just like to see Boss Yuan bully others." Another customer added.
"Nonsense. It's obvious that you don't like me, but you dare not beat me. Look at the speechless expressions of those two beauties."
Now, these customers weren't surprised by the answer anymore. It was fun to see others being surprised.
"Boss Yuan is so skillful. There are several layers of bean curd. It's really like meat." Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou's slender fingers and said.
"Humm." Yuan Zhou nodded the head, which proved that Jiang Changxi was right.
He couldn't help thinking of the difficulty of cooking the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine.
In order to match the characteristics of the streaky pork with well-balanced fat and lean meat, Yuan Zhou added a little more alkaline water to the bottom layer of the rice tofu and made it tougher. Then, he put a heavy object on it and flattened it. After it solidified, he spread another layer of rice tofu on top, which was relatively tender this time.
In this way, he spread six layers. The layer to make the skin was the toughest and then the layer of lean meat was the toughest. That was the basic texture of the streaky pork.
Then, he beat the rice into fine powder and prepared a bowl of dry rice flour and thick rice soup. After wrapping the thick rice flour and the dry rice flour, he fried the streaky pork skin piece by piece in the wok. That way, the crispy pork skin would appear.
It was easy to say, but it took Yuan Zhou a whole night just to adjust the texture. In order to be more like meat and to be able to use the culinary skills provided by the system skillfully and accurately.
"Le Yi, how about it?" Jiang Changxi revealed a complacent expression and a cunning expression on her pretty face.
"Thank you, Changxi. It finally proves that my ancestor's reputation is not undeserved." Le Yi revealed a gentle smile on her face.
"You are welcome. You can bring your father here to have a taste next time. Maybe he can also cook it. In that case, I can go there often to freeload meals." Jiang Changxi said the latter words in a very low voice and thought nobody heard it.
Although Yuan Zhou heard it, he didn't say anything. Unless one was exceptionally talented and could imitate the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou after tasting it, of course, one must have the master-level culinary skills and top-notch ingredients. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to replicate the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou.
After the business time in the evening ended, Yuan Zhou had been looking forward to it ever since Jiang Changxi and the others finished their meals and left. Just now, as expected, the system made a sound.
The system displayed, "Host, you have supplemented a dish of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine. The system specially presents a delicacy as a reward."
The seemingly simple introduction made Yuan Zhou happier, "What's the delicacy?"
The system displayed, "There are currently more than two ways to eat this delicacy. Host, you have to continue to work hard to level up. In this way, there can be more than one hundred ways to eat it."
"What delicacy is it? Three ways to eat a duck? No, there are only three ways. Is it the various ways to eat the fish? "Yuan Zhou started to make all kinds of divergent guesses.
More than two ways and even more than one hundred ways. Yuan Zhou's imagination instantly burst out, "Is it a banquet dish?"
The system displayed, "The reward has been released and is available to be received."
The system didn't answer Yuan Zhou's question, but just displayed this line of words. Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou was quite expectant. There were two ways to eat it now and more than one hundred ways to eat it in the future. Wasn't that something that could only be achieved by banquet dishes?
Moreover, it should be at the same level as the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Otherwise, how could there be so many kinds?
Yuan Zhou turned to the reward and prepared to receive it. He could upgrade to one way to eat it. Was this the rhythm of the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?
