After sending Xiao Ya off, Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant. When he was preparing dinner, he suddenly thought of something, Wait, did I forget to ask the naughty kid why he called me Big Brother Wuhai and called me Uncle?
I must remember it next time. Yuan Zhou made up his mind again.
During dinner, among the customers lining up outside, there was a girl who was heartbroken and cried on the spot.
Fortunately, the girl's friend was there and comforted her for a long time, so she didn't feel so heartbroken.
When the second batch of customers entered the restaurant and Zhou Jia came to order, the girl couldn't be delayed even if she cried.
The girl said, "Is there any dish that can make me forget the sadness and the heartbreak, like the Amnesia Potion?"
"Uh …" How was Zhou Jia supposed to answer?
Fortunately, Wan heard her and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but if you want to forget the heartbreak, I can recommend a dish. Besides, Boss Yuan also has it here."
"What dish?" The girl's eyes were still a little red. She must have cried a lot just now.
"Little Jiang Diving Frog. I want to know more about it," Wan said.
"Then I'll order this dish," the girl said.
The friend beside the girl ordered a bowl of mashed garlic water spinach and two bowls of rice. Then, the two of them ended their order.
After Zhou Jia passed the menu to Yuan Zhou, she was a little hesitant because the girl's request was too strange. She was afraid that Boss Yuan's culinary skills would be questioned.
"It's okay. Continue to order." Yuan Zhou, who never listened to others, naturally heard what was going on in the restaurant because of his good hearing. He also saw Zhou Jia's hesitation, so he comforted her.
Little Ginger Diving Frog. The name sounded strange, but diving was not the name of the frog. Diving was a type of cuisine, just like diving fish, diving rabbit, diving beef. If you liked, you could even make it diving duck or diving chicken.
Back to the topic, diving was not a unique cooking method in Sichuan Cuisine. Hunan Cuisine also had it, and even Qin Cuisine had it. All of these dishes with diving were spicy.
As for Little Jiang Diving Frog, it was the best among the spicy dishes.
Ever since Yuan Zhou got the complete Sichuan Cuisine and put it on the menu, Wu Hai, who swore to eat spicy food, had ordered all the Little Jiang Cuisine.
There was no other reason. Sichuan Cuisine was generally divided into three types: Upper Jiang Cuisine, Lower Jiang Cuisine, and Lower Jiang Cuisine.
The origin of these three classifications was relatively early. Among them, Shang Hebang was the Chengdu cuisine with Chengdu as the core. It tasted mild and mostly consisted of traditional home-cooked dishes. Popular dishes were not as spicy and had a wide variety of flavors.
The Lower River Gang, on the other hand, represented the mountain city that had a rich culture at the docks. The dishes there were generous and rough, and the ingredients used were bold and unconstrained.
Lastly, the Little River Gang focused on the spiciness and fragrance of the dish. The flavor of the pepper was strong, and the cooking method was eccentric. It was a true Jianghu cuisine.
The bullfrogs provided by the system were scientifically bred. Each of them had a weight of 200 grams after being cleaned. Of course, this was closely related to Yuan Zhou's sharp knife skills.
The bullfrogs provided by the system were raised by scientific methods. After each bullfrog was cleaned, there were still 200 grams left. Of course, this was also closely related to Yuan Zhou's neat knife skills.
The bullfrogs provided by the system were scientifically bred. Each of them weighed 200 grams after being cleaned. Of course, this was closely related to Yuan Zhou's sharp knife skills.
Today was no exception. Yuan Zhou took out the bullfrog that he had prepared just now and started to cook it.
As the name suggested, the Little Jiang Diving Frog was an essential seasoning. The ancients once said, "Eat radish in winter, eat ginger in summer." Now that it was midsummer, it was naturally good to eat some Little Jiang.
The tender yellow Little Jiang was cut into evenly sized slices by Yuan Zhou and laid out in a row.
The Diving Frog was a cooking technique of Zigong cuisine. It was derived from the meaning of diving in the Diving Kimchi.
The Diving Kimchi was also called the Bath Kimchi in Zigong. It meant that the raw materials of the Kimchi were soaked in the Kimchi jar for one to two days. Compared to the old Kimchi, the Diving Kimchi could maintain the original crispness of the vegetable. At the same time, the Diving Kimchi had a lighter acidity, which made it refreshing and delicious.
Therefore, the best feature of the Little Jiang Diving Frog was the freshness of the frog meat.
Because of the system, even if Yuan Zhou cooked such a strong dish in the open kitchen, the customers couldn't smell it at all.
Therefore, until Yuan Zhou asked Zhou Jia to serve the dish, the customers could only see the bright red pot being carried to the girl.
This was another feature of Zigong cuisine. It was scalding hot. The bright red chili oil could maintain the temperature of the dish when it was taken out of the pot.
"Your Little Jiang Diving Frog. Please enjoy." Zhou Jia quickly carried the dish to the girl and retreated to the side.
That was because the lovelorn girl was still crying uncontrollably.
However, the bright and eye-catching dish in front of her still attracted her attention.
The bright red chili oil was clear and glossy, and the snow-white frog meat was hidden within. There were also some light yellow shredded ginger and some green chopped onions.
"Ah Qiu." The lovelorn girl had tears in the corner of her eyes and there were tear stains on her face. She covered her mouth and nose with a piece of tissue, presenting a dazed look.
That's right. When the girl saw such a beautiful and appetizing dish, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. However, she had underestimated the spiciness of the dish. As a result, she choked and sneezed, resulting in such a comical scene.
"Are you okay? Are you okay? "the girl's friend asked with concern.
After shaking her head and sneezing, the girl picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.
"I heard you won't feel uncomfortable after eating it." The girl muttered softly. Then, she picked up a white and tender frog leg and stuffed it into her mouth without looking at it.
As she said that, the girl's tears kept flowing like an open faucet.
The friend at the side nodded her head repeatedly and didn't hurry to eat the chopsticks.
The frog meat was white and tender. Once it entered her mouth, there was a faint ginger taste unique to young ginger. However, there was more of a spiciness that rushed straight to her stomach.
"Hiss, so spicy." The girl felt her tears flowing even more happily.
After all, spiciness would also stimulate the secretion of tear glands and this extremely spicy taste would naturally stimulate it even more.
The girl's friend passed the tissue to her silently. However, after the girl wiped her tears, she still habitually wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
After the extremely spicy feeling, however, a fresh and delicious taste spread in her mouth. This fresh and delicious taste soothed the irritation in her mouth and made the girl start to enjoy the taste of the frog meat.
That's right. The girl finally started to chew the frog meat.
The frog meat was extremely tender and almost fell off with a single bite. However, when she chewed, it was tender and smooth with an undeniable elasticity.
The frog meat was so delicious that when she spat out the bone, the lovelorn girl couldn't help but suck it.
"So spicy." After sucking a mouthful of the frog meat bone, she tasted that spiciness again. However, it was much milder and more domineering than before.
It was a kind of fragrant and spicy feeling.
"Delicious." The girl wiped the tears on her face with the back of her left hand again and then continued to pick up the frog meat with the chopsticks.
Seeing the girl continue to eat, the friend at the side felt relieved and couldn't help smiling at Wan gratefully.
This time, she picked up more. An entire frog leg and several slices of young ginger were sent into her mouth in one bite.
However, the lovelorn girl finally understood why the taste was so domineering at the first bite. It was because it was hot.
That's right. The spiciness of the Young Ginger Diving Frog was so stimulating that the girl couldn't help crying every time she picked it up with the chopsticks.
However, the more spicy it was, the more she couldn't stop her hand from picking up the food.
Just like that, the girl had to wipe the tears on her face with every bite. However, the more she ate, the calmer her expression became. At that time, the friend at the side also immersed himself in the delicacy.
Or it could be said that it had become another kind of excitement. Because now, not only was she crying, a layer of fine sweat had already appeared on her forehead.
Of course, it was all because of the spiciness.
Her lips, which had turned pale due to crying, were now bright red as if they had been smeared with a layer of red lipstick. She looked much more spirited and bright.
"Delicious." The girl inhaled continuously while eating.
At that time, all the girl's thoughts were occupied by the delicacy and spiciness. She didn't have time to think about anything that would make her sad.
And Wan had indeed achieved her goal. In the restaurant, the dinner continued.
"Wan, Wan, it turns out that the legendary Unfeeling Water is actually the Diving Frog!" When the dinner time ended, Zhou Jia went to Wan who was waiting outside the door excitedly, expressing that she had learned something new today.
"There are no tears that the Diving Frog can't stop. If there are, tell the boss to make it more spicy." Wan smiled.
Zhou Jia said, "Someone just passed this matter to Boss Yuan. I guess the Diving Frog is going to be popular."
"Let's go. I drove here today. Let me give you a ride," Wan said.
"Uh, isn't Wan waiting for someone?" Zhou Jia said.
"I can't come because I have something to do," Wan said, "so I have to go back."
"Hehe, thank you in advance, Wan. I won't stand on ceremony then," Zhou Jia said.
While talking, the two walked side by side to the parking lot not far from the end of the street. There were so many people who came to Taoxi Road every day, so the street office planned a lot of parking lots. So for now, there was no problem.
Wan's car was a Sierra, a very rough pickup truck. Anyway, it didn't look like a car that a girl would drive. Coincidentally, Queen Jiang also had a pickup truck, but it was a Ford F650. Of course, the price was much higher, and it didn't include the cost of modification.
Zhou Jia sat in the passenger seat while Wan drove.
"Wan, I think you are really amazing. You can handle everything well. Why don't you start your own business?" Zhou Jia asked curiously.
"Because it depends on whether I can handle it well, whether I can be a good entrepreneur, and whether I can be a good manager, these are three things," Wan said.
"Oh …" Actually, Zhou Jia felt that it was one thing. The main reason she thought so was that Zhou Jia didn't have any experience.
Recently, Zhou Jia would stay for one or two hours before going home. But today, she went home on time after work, mainly because … her aunt's wife came.
And Wan originally had an appointment with her bestie, Ya Ya, to eat together. This was also why Chen Wei didn't go with her today. It was mainly because Chen Wei didn't like Wan's bestie.
Wan arrived early. Yuanzhou shop didn't have anyone to line up first, and then all her friends could come to eat.
Therefore, she immediately called Ya Ya, but she didn't answer her phone or reply to her WeChat message. Left with no choice, Wan had to go into the restaurant and eat by herself.
Just one minute before Zhou Jia left the restaurant, Ya Ya called to explain that she couldn't come because she had something to do and forgot to tell Wan.
Really, it was all thanks to Wan's good temper.
On the other hand, although the weather forecast said that there would be light rain tonight, Yuan Zhou didn't prepare to cook BBQ. Because the moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the evening, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all. Therefore, the pub naturally opened for business.
After all, Yuan Zhou always cooked BBQ according to the weather forecast of the system. Since the system didn't say that there would be rain, there naturally wouldn't be.
"This is good. I will have time to complete the experiment of the second real perfume in the pub." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
While Yuan Zhou was thinking, Shin Min had already opened the door of the pub and welcomed the customers into the pub.
Sometimes, the key to the door would be kept with Shin Min. It was also a kind of trust.
"The farewell banquet is tomorrow night." Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of this matter.
"I should check the amount of money in the red envelope." Yuan Zhou worked earnestly. No matter when he finished his work, he would check it twice.
Yuan Zhou went upstairs and opened the drawer. What he saw were two bulging red envelopes placed quietly in the drawer. Naturally, the red envelopes were stuffed with red money.
One was Zhou Jia and the other was Shin Min. Yuan Zhou specially chose the large red envelope with the words "Smooth Sailing" written on it.
Yuan Zhou counted the red money carefully. One, two, three, four...
"Um. The amount is just right." Yuan Zhou put down the red envelope and closed the drawer.
Returning to the first floor, Yuan Zhou went to the kitchen and began to restore the real perfume. He first made the transparent water.
Water = soup.
That's right. Yuan Zhou believed that the real perfume was soup.
There was milk soup and also soup as clear as tea. There was no difference between the two. Milk soup wasn't the soup with milk. It was because the protein and fat had been fully dissolved in the water that produced the milky white color. This could be achieved by making poached eggs and crucian carp soup at home.
Of course, what Yuan Zhou wanted today was the soup as clear as tea. Yuan Zhou had carefully read Guang Gong's Travels. The description of the real perfume was "water transparent", which automatically meant colorless and transparent.
But in fact, transparent and colorless were two different concepts. Yuan Zhou chose the simplest fresh mushroom soup.
It was very simple to make the soup as clear as tea. First, he washed all the mushrooms and let them dry.
Then, he put Angelica dahurica, Chuanqiong, red dates and chrysanthemum into the pot. Then, he added water and fresh mushrooms into the pot. Finally, he sealed the pot and simmered it slowly.
About 40 minutes later, the soup came out. The soup was clear with only a little brown color like tea. It was as transparent as described in the book.
Yuan Zhou scooped the soup into a bowl and let it dry. After it cooled down, he put it into the freezer. At the same time, he kneaded the dough while he stewed the soup.
To restore the miracle of the real perfume, he had to knead the dough. Yuan Zhou kneaded the dough until it was quite chewy.
After kneading the dough, he began to cook it. Yuan Zhou only added a little salt when cooking the noodles and deliberately missed the best time to scoop it up.
Take out the pot.
Yuan Zhou took the chopsticks to eat the noodles. Because the noodles had been cooked for a long time, they were a little soft and mushy with only a little salty taste. Naturally, they didn't taste good.
"Then, it's time to witness the miracle." Yuan Zhou said.
He took out the chilled fresh mushroom soup. The fresh mushroom soup became lighter after it cooled down and it really looked like water. He poured it into the noodles.
The mushy noodles instantly became chewy when they came into contact with the cold mushroom soup.
The soup originally only had a little salty taste. After adding the soup, the umami taste and the chewy noodles instantly became delicious.
"System, does this method meet the requirements of the real perfume?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Yes. According to the judgment of the system, the second method meets the requirements recorded in the ancient books more than the first one."
"Hahaha. I knew it. I'm really a genius!" Notice that this sentence was shouted crazily in the heart of Yuan Zhou and he didn't shout it out. Although he wanted to shout it out, he couldn't ruin his image after all.
