The outer layer of the oily gluten was pinched open, revealing the inner stuffing. As it was tightly wrapped, the meat stuffing was still in the shape of a semicircle.
The meat stuffing appeared to be pure meat stuffing, but because of the outer layer of the oily gluten, the color of the meat stuffing was slightly lighter than the gravy.
After it was pinched open, it emitted warm white steam and the fragrance also drifted into his nose along with the steam.
"What a strong meat fragrance!" Hao Cheng exclaimed in admiration. Then, he straightforwardly picked up a small piece of meat stuffing with the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
This time, Hao Cheng only picked up the meat stuffing and didn't pick it up together with the outer layer of the oily gluten.
When he picked it up, Hao Cheng found the meat stuffing was incomparably soft and tender. Almost as soon as the chopsticks closed, a small piece of the meat stuffing was separated.
The pink meat stuffing with half of the oily reddish-brown gravy was directly fed into Hao Cheng's mouth.
As soon as it entered his mouth, the originally intact small piece directly seemed to melt and emitted an amazing meat fragrance and the saltiness of the gravy in his mouth.
"How soft!" Hao Cheng was startled when he tasted the texture.
Right after that, however, Hao Cheng began to chew and emitted a Ca Ca sound.
There was a kind of crispy texture mixed with the soft and tender meat stuffing. While he was chewing, a stream of fresh and sweet juice burst out and mixed with the meat stuffing.
It made the pure meat stuffing have a refreshing feeling and didn't feel greasy at all.
"The taste of the water chestnut is so refreshing and sweet." Hao Cheng immediately recognized the crispy texture was the water chestnut, namely the taste of the horseshoe.
It wasn't special to add the meat stuffing to the horseshoe. It was quite common in the area of the south of the Yangtze River. However, no one could do it as naturally and harmoniously as Yuan Zhou did.
Because if the crispy and tender horseshoe was added, either the crispy and tender texture of the horseshoe would be too prominent, or if it was cut into smaller pieces and mixed with the meat stuffing, it would make the horseshoe lose the refreshing and sweet juice flowing out when chewed.
This delicate balance was very small, but it was this point that made Hao Cheng, who had eaten several mouthfuls of the meat stuffing, admire Yuan Zhou very much.
The crispy and tender horseshoes were paired with the tender meat stuffing, and finally, the soft and chewy skin of the oily gluten was added. It was a completely different texture and taste.
"Even a common dish like the Oil Noodles and Stuffed Pork can be made into such a rich flavor. As expected of Boss Yuan." Hao Cheng sighed with emotion. At this time, there was only less than half of the Oil Noodles and Stuffed Pork left in the bowl.
Home-style dishes were dishes that were usually cooked at home. Due to eating too many of these dishes, it was not easy to create one's own style.
However, Yuan Zhou was different. Some people said that they had tasted the taste of home, while others said that the dishes in Yuanzhou shop were the pinnacle of craftsmanship.
A thousand readers would have a thousand Hamlets. Similarly, a thousand diners would have a thousand tastes.
To put it bluntly, good things were able to withstand the scrutiny of others.
As he spoke, Hao Cheng stared at the round meatball that he had just separated.
At this moment, Huang Fei was alerted and said, "Let's split the meatballs first."
"Okay." Liu Li originally wanted to say that they hadn't finished the other dishes, but when he saw Hao Cheng's green eyes, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Wang Qiang was much more direct, "You guys take the meatballs first. I'll do the rest. I'll pour the rice directly into the bowl."
"Cunning!" This thought flashed through the minds of Hao Cheng, Huang Fei, and Liu Li at the same time.
However, since Wang Qiang said it first, the other two couldn't object and could only nod in agreement.
On the other hand, Hao Cheng immediately poured the remaining half a bowl of white rice into the middle-grade soup bowl.
In an instant, the white rice was stained with the oily gravy.
"Dang Dang", it was the sound of chopsticks touching the porcelain bowl. It was because Hao Cheng was mixing the rice with the broth lightly.
Only when the rice was completely dyed brownish red did Hao Cheng lift the bowl and start to eat with satisfaction.
"Hu hu", Hao Cheng ate very quickly, but he chewed every mouthful carefully.
After all, it was not good to swallow such a delicacy in one gulp.
After eating up the rice in the bowl, Hao Cheng began to savor the remaining half of the meatball unhurriedly.
"Oh, I forgot there was a vegetable dish." Only then did Hao Cheng look at the Stir-Fried Water Bamboo Shoots at the side.
Having eaten up half of the rice and stuffed the meat with oily gluten, the refreshing Water Bamboo Shoots made Hao Cheng squint his eyes in satisfaction.
While eating, Hao Cheng didn't forget to say in a low voice in his heart, "It's said on the internet that no matter how small your appetite is, you will always feel that it's too little."
As for why they didn't dare to say it out, it was very simple. Because they were still in the restaurant and in front of them was Yuan Zhou who was cooking.
Under such circumstances, they naturally didn't dare to say it out. They could only think about it in their heart.
The lunch time of the four people ended very soon. This time, they almost finished the meal at the same time and got up at the same time.
After getting up, the four people bowed deeply to Yuan Zhou as usual and then turned around to leave the restaurant.
The four people weren't the first ones to leave the restaurant. The first ones to leave were Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing.
The two of them ate faster today, so they left before the four of them did.
And at that time, the two people had already walked to the intersection of Taoxi Road.
"You really don't need me to look for him?" Ling Hong held Ruan Xiaoqing's slender hand and asked.
"No. I just want to thank him. It doesn't matter even if I can't find him." Ruan Xiaoqing shook her head and said with a smile.
"Actually, I also want to thank him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take advantage of him." While saying that, Ling Hong held Ruan Xiaoqing's hand and kissed her fingers gently.
"Um. Thank you if you find him." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head and blushed slightly.
"Let's go." While saying that, Ling Hong pulled Ruan Xiaoqing and began to walk slowly in the direction of her home.
That direction was also the place where Ruan Xiaoqing took a taxi first and then accidentally came to Yuanzhou shop.
It was at the dim street lamp. Soon, the two people walked to the street lamp.
Of course, the street lamp wasn't lit at that time. After all, it was still sunny now.
"I feel that this place has changed a lot." While looking around and observing the taxi, Ruan Xiaoqing also noticed the changes in the surroundings.
"Yeah. Because of Boss Yuan, this place has become popular. Then, these people all come here. Even Sister Jiang has marked a piece of land here. It's right there." While saying that, Ling Hong pointed to the place not far away.
Ling Hong said, "You don't know Compass's position in the hearts of those government planners. To put it bluntly, if anyone dares to make things difficult for Compass, the consequences will be … tsk tsk."
"Then, have you marked a piece of land here? Mr. Business Elite? "Ruan Xiaoqing teased.
"This business elite is now busy looking for an uncle taxi driver for my girlfriend," Ling Hong said.
"Well, this matter is indeed important, but I won't force it," Ruan Xiaoqing said again.
"Um. I think that driver will receive our gratitude." Ling Hong nodded.
This time, Ruan Xiaoqing didn't say anything. She just looked at the passing taxi seriously.
Occasionally, they would meet a taxi driver who stopped to ask if they needed a ride. Ruan Xiaoqing would smile and say that they were waiting for another driver.
Ling Hong accompanied Ruan Xiaoqing under the street lamp for an hour. He looked at the passing cars seriously, but Ruan Xiaoqing didn't see the familiar license plate number passing by.
During this period, in order to prevent Ruan Xiaoqing from getting tired, Ling Hong even bought a folding chair for Ruan Xiaoqing to sit and wait.
But even so, the driver who gave Ruan Xiaoqing a ride at night didn't appear.
"Let's go. We should go to the hospital to get the report. Then, we have to get ready to line up for Boss Yuan's dinner." Ruan Xiaoqing stood up and took the initiative to speak.
"En, let's go." Ling Hong squatted down to put away the folding chair and nodded.
After putting away the chair, Ling Hong held Ruan Xiaoqing's hand in one hand and the folding chair in the other. They walked to the parking lot. The traffic flowed past Ling Hong on the left, and Ruan Xiaoqing stood on the right.
