Then, in the morning, there were a lot of people eating the cakes with chopsticks instead of paper wraps. Many of them did it to save money, but more of them did it because it was not easy to keep the change of 20 cents. Of course, nobody would throw it away. Anyhow, it was still money.
"These people don't know how to appreciate food at all. The Baked Egg Cakes should of course be eaten with the hands. Otherwise, it won't have that kind of taste." Wuhai clicked his tongue and said that, appearing to be quite knowledgeable.
"Even so, I won't tell you the new dish." It was rare for Yuan Zhou to say such a long sentence. However, it was used to refuse Wuhai.
"Boss Yuan, I won't say anything anymore. I'm leaving." Wuhai felt it would be better if he could cook by himself.
However, for a person like him, it would be lucky if the dishes didn't explode. Even if they did, it would be normal. It was better for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen. It was a matter for the good of everyone.
As soon as Wuhai left, it was almost time for breakfast. After all, he had been standing here for quite a while just now.
Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou also started to prepare the ingredients to cook the new dish for lunch. There were three dishes that needed to be prepared in advance.
First, Yuan Zhou prepared the Silk Twined Rabbit. As this dish required the longest time, there was already a cabinet marked with the word "rabbit" on the side cabinet. After a sound of "Zhi Ya", the cabinet door was directly pulled open.
"Holy sh * t." Then, Yuan Zhou was so startled that he directly swore.
Inside the cabinet door, a few rabbits were hopping around. At one side of the cabinet, there was even something like green grass growing there. Several gray rabbits were eating the grass leisurely.
There were also some rabbits that were startled by the sound of the cabinet door. However, they turned their heads and looked at Yuan Zhou blankly with their ears closed.
"Is there anything you can't do? Even the cabinet can be turned into a breeding farm by you. Awesome, my system." After closing the cabinet door, Yuan Zhou couldn't help ridiculing the system.
The system displayed, "Thank you for your compliment."
"I'm not complimenting you." Yuan Zhou felt like he was talking to Wu Hai, and he was feeling like Wu Hai at that time, a subtle pain in the ass.
He took a deep breath and focused all his attention on cooking. The Silk Twined Rabbit had very high requirements for rabbits and techniques. He had to use live rabbits to complete the preparation work for the next step.
Yuan Zhou made ten Silk Twined Rabbits in one go. In terms of customer flow, it was not a problem to sell them.
The only thing left was to prepare the beef. The Translucent Beef Slices also needed to be prepared beforehand so that it could be sold at noon.
Fortunately, the beef was put together with the pork this time, and there was no whole cow. Yuan Zhou calmly began to process the beef, but before that, he soaked the beans first.
After the preparation of the Translucent Beef Slices was done, all that was left was to wait for someone to order it before slicing it.
As for the other dish, it was much more troublesome. Starting from the soaking of the beans, it needed to go through many processes before it could become tofu.
Speaking of the origin of tofu, it was quite interesting. It was invented by Liu An, the Duke of Huainan, an alchemist. Besides, it was high in protein, low in fat, and had the effects of lowering blood pressure, blood lipids, and cholesterol. It could be eaten either raw or cooked.
The cooking method of tofu was also recorded in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica.
Because tofu could be divided into north and south, the south tofu was tender, smooth, and refreshing, and suitable to be eaten as soup or salad. The north tofu, on the other hand, had a stronger flavor than the old beans and was suitable for braising or steaming.
The tofu that Yuan Zhou prepared today was the north tofu.
After a busy morning, the time passed quickly. When the restaurant opened at noon, Yuan Zhou found many people waiting outside the door. Of course, the first one was Mu Xiaoyun.
"Boss, it smells so good. Are you preparing a new dish?" As soon as Mu Xiaoyun entered the restaurant, she asked smilingly.
"Definitely. I smelled the spicy and fresh fragrance just now. The taste is too wonderful for words." Wu Hai was the second one to enter the restaurant.
"Um. Please come in." With a solemn expression, Yuan Zhou made way for the customers at the door to enter the restaurant first.
"That's great. I feel like I can eat something spicy now," a girl said happily.
"Aren't you afraid of getting pimples?" A man behind the girl said with a teasing expression.
"The dishes cooked by Boss Yuan won't get pimples." The girl revealed a look of trust.
"What's the relationship between delicious dishes and pimples?" The man indicated that he couldn't understand that.
"What? Do you think I'm wrong?" The girl said discontentedly with a fierce look.
"No, no. Everything Ah Yuan said is right. I'll order something spicy later," the man immediately said with a fawning smile.
"That's more like it." The girl nodded her head contentedly and continued to line up.
The customers that entered the restaurant soon occupied all the remaining chairs.
"The new dishes are on the wall behind you. What do you want to eat? Just tell me directly," Mu Xiaoyun instructed the customers at the side.
"Wow, the names of the dishes are making me salivate. Finally, there's meat to eat," Chen Wei said while looking at them.
"Didn't you eat the prawns and claws last time?" Wu Hai turned his head and looked at Chen Wei with his dead fish eyes and directly undermined him.
"They're not the same thing. The beef, pork and rabbit meat are the proper meats," Chen Wei argued with a solemn expression.
"Don't show that expression. It makes my liver ache." Wu Hai instantly turned his head away. The expression of Chen Wei reminded him of the time when Yuan Zhou refused him primly.
"Who told you that? Xiaoyun, order the dishes," Chen Wei said generously.
"Please." Mu Xiaoyun waited at the side.
"One plate of this beef, one plate of rabbit meat and one serving of plain white rice of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine." Although Chen Wei wanted to order all the dishes, he still had to consider the feelings of his wallet. Although he could eat to his heart's content and the whole family wouldn't starve, he couldn't give up on drinking wine in the evening. Luckily, he had a sideline job and could make some extra money.
"I'm sorry. The Silk Twined Rabbit has to be reserved in advance. It's not available now," before Mu Xiaoyun said anything, Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"Really? How long will it take?" Chen Wei asked curiously.
"Order it now. It can be eaten at 6: 00 p.m. the day after tomorrow," Yuan Zhou brought out the time.
"That's too long. Then I'll order the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork." Chen Wei knitted his brows and straightforwardly changed another dish.
"One moment, please." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then went back to the kitchen to prepare the dishes. He directly handed the front work to Mu Xiaoyun.
She stir-fried the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork and the sliced beef were carried to her in a little while.
The beef tasted like a cold dish and its fragrance wasn't as strong as the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork. Therefore, Chen Wei's attention was immediately attracted by Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork.
"This dish really lives up to its name," Chen Wei sighed with emotion.
The shimmering vermicelli was covered with tiny pieces of meat, which looked like ants climbing a tree diligently. The shredded green garlic was like the green leaves. The entire dish emitted a special fragrance.
When he picked up a stalk of vermicelli, Chen Wei found the tiny pieces of meat were still firmly stuck to the vermicelli, unlike the dishes in other restaurants where the minced meat fell directly into the plate when he picked up the vermicelli. In the end, the vermicelli and minced meat were still minced meat. There wasn't the feeling of ants climbing a tree at all. It was obviously just stir-fried vermicelli with minced meat.
This dish was different. The vermicelli picked up was covered with minced meat and shredded green garlic. On the glossy vermicelli, there were tiny minced meat and shredded green garlic to enhance the fragrance and remove the fishy smell.
He put it into his mouth. "Ba Ji Ba Ji". The smooth and soft texture of the vermicelli and the crispy fragrance of the minced meat had completely blended together. After a slight chewing, there was a trace of spiciness of the green garlic. It didn't taste greasy at all, but only fragrant, tender and refreshing.
