The Youtiao emitted a crisp cracking sound and broke into two parts in Huang Fei's hand. The white dough could be seen at the broken part, emitting the fragrance of the Youtiao.
"It's oily but not greasy. It even has the fragrance of flour. It should be the freshly ground wheat this morning," Huang Fei thought.
Since it was broken with both hands, Huang Fei naturally put down the remaining half of the Youtiao in his left hand and stared at his hand with a burning gaze.
As expected, his hand was as dry as before, without any oil stains.
"This is simply impossible." Huang Fei did not believe it and pinched the Youtiao in his hand. Only then did a layer of oil stain his hand.
This time, Huang Fei was completely dumbfounded. To be honest, if it wasn't for the oil stain on his hand, Huang Fei would have suspected that the Youtiao was fried.
For a moment, Huang Fei was thinking if the Youtiao could be cooked.
"How is it?" Wang Qiang asked.
"I actually know. Theoretically, it's possible to do it without oil staining your hand," Huang Fei said blankly.
"Theoretically? Theoretically, my culinary skills should be better than Head Chef Yuan. After all, I have been learning to cook longer than him. Besides, I have a famous teacher to guide me, right? "Wang Qiang said.
When a person became famous, his past would be dug out. That was called the Celebrity Past. Nowadays, almost everyone in the culinary circle knew that Yuan Zhou was a model example of a self-taught person.
"Yeah, that's only in theory. Therefore, you can't compare with Head Chef Yuan. We can't do it either," Huang Fei sighed.
"…" Wang Qiang was speechless, but he had no way to refute.
Wang Qiang indicated that he would rather focus on eating his breakfast and not talk to Huang Fei.
The shock was only temporary. Huang Fei's recovery ability was still very strong. In other words, the Youtiao emitting the fragrance was still very attractive to him.
Thus, Huang Fei quickly pulled himself together and picked up the Youtiao to eat.
"Ca Ca Ca" Huang Fei took a few bites.
Soon, half of the Youtiao was gone. Only when there was only half left did Huang Fei regain his senses and start eating carefully.
This time, he had a chance to dip the Youtiao in the soybean milk.
Huang Fei dipped one end of the youtiao directly into the silicone bowl. The snow-white soybean milk and the golden youtiao created a strong visual impact. Huang Fei picked it up and took a bite after dipping it in the bowl.
The outer layer of the youtiao soaked in soybean milk became soft. It didn't feel crispy when chewed, but became soft with a strong bean fragrance. When chewed, the inner layer of the youtiao emitted a strong wheat fragrance.
The outer layer of the soft and glutinous youtiao carried the burnt aroma of the oil droplets that had been fried, while the inner layer had a tough texture and a rich wheat aroma.
It could be said that it tasted as good with or without the soybean milk, but the taste was completely different.
"Hmm. Both are delicious." Huang Fei squinted his eyes and dipped the dough stick into the dough stick again in satisfaction.
After dipping half of the youtiao into the soup, the soy milk in the silicone bowl was almost empty. Huang Fei came back to his senses and couldn't help but say, "This soy milk is too little."
"I think so too." Wang Qiang couldn't help but interrupt again.
"Why don't we swap?" Huang Fei looked at the soy milk in Wang Qiang's bowl and pushed his silicone portable bowl towards him.
"You pour it for me first." Wang Qiang said.
"Then forget it." Huang Fei refused flatly.
"Kid, you are still too inexperienced." Wang Qiang looked at Huang Fei's vigilant look and understood. He snorted in his heart and turned his head to continue eating his soybean milk and youtiao.
A bowl of soy milk and two youtiao. The amount of breakfast for the four of them was quickly finished even if it was just for daily necessities.
After eating, the four of them got up and left their chairs. Then, when Yuan Zhou turned around to put down the dishes, they all bowed to Yuan Zhou.
This bow was directly ninety degrees, which could be said to be very respectful.
Seeing the four of them leave, the customers in the restaurant were not surprised at all. They didn't even turn their heads.
Not to mention that they weren't the first people to bow to Yuan Zhou after eating, they could even pass by the zither maker who bowed at the door every time after eating without looking sideways.
After all, eating in Yuanzhou shop could be considered as having seen everything.
As for Yuan Zhou, he nodded his head to indicate that he received their bows and then returned to the kitchen.
The four of them walked to the side corridor. Hao Cheng was the first to speak, "Have you taken notes?"
Hearing that, the other three were first stupefied before feeling ashamed. They lowered their heads and said softly, "None."
"It's okay. I have already expected such a situation the first time, so I didn't take notes. Let's do it at noon," Hao Cheng said with a relaxed expression.
"I will definitely remember to take notes at noon," Huang Fei clenched his fist and said.
"Yes, I will definitely remember to do it at noon," Liu Li rubbed his belly and said seriously.
"Me too. Let's eat first and then take notes," Wang Qiang said.
"That's good. After all, we are here to learn culinary skills. Don't neglect the essentials," Hao Cheng said.
"By the way, Head Chef Yuan's youtiao has reached the point where the oil doesn't stick to your hands. I have a new idea about this and want to verify it," Huang Fei suddenly said.
"Sure. Let's go together," Hao Cheng nodded.
"Cough, cough." Just when the four of them were discussing to verify the fried food, a coughing sound interrupted them.
The four of them raised their heads simultaneously. Engineer Cheng was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and pants with his hair combed short. He stood three steps away from them and looked at them.
The four of them instantly felt awkward. They knew Engineer Cheng. Although they had specially paid a visit to Yuan Zhou before coming here, they were still too embarrassed to meet Engineer Cheng.
They were here to secretly learn the culinary skills of their master. Although Yuan Zhou was magnanimous and extremely confident, as a disciple, that might not be the case.
In any case, putting themselves in their shoes, if they encountered someone secretly learning their master's culinary skills, beating them up would be considered a light punishment. Naturally, they wouldn't be nice to them. Therefore, Hao Cheng and the other three were naturally embarrassed.
"Hey, Chef Hao, why didn't you guys come to my place?" Engineer Cheng asked.
"We didn't want to disturb you. We know that Engineer Cheng is very busy helping Head Chef Yuan with some matters. Therefore, we didn't want to disturb you," Hao Cheng said cleverly.
"That's true. My master doesn't have many matters to deal with, but all of them are very important. He can't be careless," Engineer Cheng nodded.
"Yeah, that's right. Therefore, we didn't want to disturb you, Engineer Cheng," Liu Li nodded with a smile while rubbing his big belly that was similar to Engineer Cheng's.
"I'm not that important. But my master doesn't like people disturbing him when he's improving his culinary skills," Engineer Cheng said earnestly.
"Of course. We will definitely not disturb Head Chef Yuan," Huang Fei answered.
"That's good. But are you guys going to watch my master cook empty-handed?" Engineer Cheng said something that he had planned for a long time.
That's right. Although Engineer Cheng said that he was fine last night, he was still worried that they would mess around. Therefore, he came here early in the morning to watch.
But when he saw that the four of them were still very polite, he didn't greet them. But when he saw the four of them bowing before leaving, he thought of something else.
That was, when Engineer Cheng handed in his homework twice, he found Yuan Zhou flipping through ancient books. As a disciple, he naturally gave Yuan Zhou the recipes he had collected.
But no one would complain about having too many recipes. Therefore, there was a saying that if it was inconvenient for his master to tell him, he, as the only disciple, had to tell him.
The four of them were stunned by Master Cheng's words at first, but then they came to their senses.
