In order to play the role of a leader, Hao Cheng immediately said when he saw Yuan Zhou start, "Everyone, take out your notes and start recording."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll get them right away." Wang Qiang was the first to respond. He took out a black leather notebook with a pen on it. As he spoke, he picked up the pen and began to record.
On the other side, Liu Li and Huang Fei didn't say much. They also took out their notebooks and started recording.
Of course, they first recorded what they ordered and then the parts that needed to be verified with their cooking skills.
Initially, the four of them were a little nervous when they did this. But in the beginning, no one paid any attention to it. Because there were many people doing this and the customers all liked it.
Some customers even gossiped about who could write and take notes the fastest.
Therefore, the four of them were very calm. Currently, the fastest was Huang Fei. Of course, his handwriting was the kind that only he could recognize.
Yuan Zhou also finished their dishes very quickly.
At this time, Huang Fei, who was writing like a god, sharply discovered and confirmed one thing. He frowned slightly and started recording even more seriously.
When the four of them finished their dishes and Yuan Zhou continued cooking other dishes, Huang Fei took the opportunity when Zhou Jia was serving the dishes and said, "I noticed that Boss Yuan's speed of cooking the dishes we ordered has decreased by one-fifth these days."
"Huh? What do you mean? "Liu Li rubbed his belly and asked curiously. Most of his brain was still thinking about the dishes.
"Boss Yuan's culinary skills have returned to its original state. There's no sudden decrease in speed. Are you saying that Boss Yuan is doing this for us?" Hao Cheng was the first to react and asked.
"I think so," Huang Fei nodded and said.
"Now that you mention it, it does seem like the speed has decreased. Boss Yuan is too nice to us," Wang Qiang couldn't help but say.
After eating here for the past few days, they had changed the way they addressed Yuan Zhou from Head Chef Yuan to Boss Yuan, which was much more amiable.
"I think we need to be more serious. We can't let Boss Yuan and our master down," Huang Fei said seriously.
"Yes, it must be because Boss Yuan saw our sincerity in learning. However, Master must have played a part in this," Hao Cheng said, nodding.
"I really have to work hard. I have to practice two more dishes tonight." Liu Li rubbed his big belly and sighed.
"That's right. Practice more. With such good conditions, we can't let Master and Boss Yuan down." Wang Qiang nodded.
Hao Cheng and Huang Fei nodded in agreement.
The learning conditions now were much better than before. Now, basic information could be found on the internet, and for more advanced information, at least one could know where to study.
However, it was strange. Even though the learning conditions were better, it was still difficult for them to forge Grandmasters.
Just as the four of them were determined to practice their culinary skills harder, Zhou Jia served their meals.
Of course, the first to be served were the dishes of Huang Fei and the other two, followed by Hao Cheng's Stir-Fried Wild Bamboo Shoots and Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles.
The Stir-Fried Wild Bamboo Shoots was served on a green lotus leaf-shaped plate. The rhombus-shaped slices of wild bamboo shoots were a beautiful jade-white color with a hint of light green at the edges. Steam was rising from the surface of the slices, which set off the beautiful green color of the dish.
When the dish was served to them, the fragrance of the wild bamboo shoots wafted into their nostrils, giving them a refreshing feeling as if they were smelling the fresh wild bamboo shoots growing by the lake. It was so crisp and green.
The other dish, Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles, was Hao Cheng's focus.
"Hua La", Hao Cheng directly dragged the plate over. It was a medium-sized soup bowl with two pieces of Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles, which had been roasted to a brownish red and translucent color.
The broth in the bowl had soaked half of the Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles. The Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles emitted a fresh and delicious smell.
"This is the smell. It smells so good," Hao Cheng closed his eyes and said with a smile.
"It's indeed very fragrant. But it's time to divide the dish," Liu Li reminded him in a low voice at the side.
Hao Cheng immediately opened his eyes and looked at the two intact Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles reluctantly. Only after quite a while did he say, "I'll divide one for you guys."
Actually, Hao Cheng had originally wanted to say that he would divide half of the Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles, but when he saw the remaining three people were all looking at him, he had no choice but to swallow that thought and say that he would divide half of the Stuffed Pork.
However, even the Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles was divided by Hao Cheng himself. He picked up a meatball neatly with the brownish red chopsticks and quickly divided it into the empty bowls at the side.
Actually, Hao Cheng had secretly observed him before. He had originally intended to pick up a smaller meatball, but found that the two were of the same size. In the end, he could only pick up one with his eyes closed.
Of course, Hao Cheng also divided half of the broth in the bowl.
Having picked up the meatball, Hao Cheng straightforwardly stuffed the chopsticks into his mouth and tasted the taste.
An extremely salty and fresh taste spread in his mouth, which immediately aroused his appetite. Finally, with a hint of sweetness and a mellow and distant fragrance, it slowly entered his lungs.
"This is actually aged Huadiao wine!" Hao Cheng's eyes widened as he savored it carefully.
That's right. Hao Cheng had been waiting for the ingredients of this Huadiao wine from the very beginning.
Chefs in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions all liked to use Huadiao wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the fragrance. This Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles was a famous dish in Wuxi. The taste there was more sweet, and Huadiao wine would be used to remove the fishy smell and enhance the fragrance when cooking this dish.
But in theory, this dish should be made with the Huadiao wine brewed in Jiangsu, which was the authentic Wuxi vegetable Stuffed Pork with Oil Noodles in their hearts.
But in fact, Huadiao wine was called Shaoxing yellow wine. Although Jiangnan as a whole was called Wu State in ancient times, in fact, no county was willing to submit to each other. Therefore, there was an invisible rule in cooking this dish, that was, Huadiao wine from Jiangsu must be used.
This was a secret practice, but it happened to come from the place that Jiangsu chefs cared about.
But now, Hao Cheng obviously tasted that it was the local taste and moreover, it was the taste of the aged Huadiao wine.
The taste was immersed in the broth bit by bit, mixed with the salty and fresh taste. When it exploded in the mouth, it was impossible to ignore.
"As expected of Boss Yuan. He can even do such a small detail." Hao Cheng admired Yuan Zhou even more.
With such a mood, Hao Cheng carried the plain white rice at the side and directly scooped up a spoonful of broth and poured it directly on the rice.
The temperature of the rice was just right plus the brown broth. The crystal clear rice was directly covered with a layer of oil.
"It's so fragrant." Hao Cheng couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and have a bite.
Instantly, the salty and fresh taste and the intrinsic fragrance of the rice directly exploded in his mouth. Hao Cheng couldn't help chewing it.
As he chewed, every grain of rice was immersed in the broth. He had the satisfaction of eating a bowl of Rice Soaked in Oil Soup when he was very hungry as a child.
In just a little while, Hao Cheng had eaten up a small half bowl of rice and that was the result when he tried his best to restrain himself.
"It's so delicious. Every bite is delicious to the extreme." Hao Cheng couldn't help but put down the bowl and reach out his chopsticks to pick up the meatball.
The smooth meatball rolled in the broth and Hao Cheng was so stunned that he couldn't find a place to put his chopsticks.
Normally, the outer layer of the Stuffed Meatball was oily gluten while the inside was filled with minced meat. But if he wanted to stuff the meat in, he naturally had to make an opening.
Obviously, the meatball was smooth and had no opening, which made Hao Cheng both surprised and curious.
However, the desire to eat meat overcame everything in the end. Hao Cheng straightforwardly used the chopsticks to clamp the meatball into two halves.
At this time, the meatball that was clamped into two halves emitted an alluring aroma from the light-colored meat stuffing.
