The moment Yuan Zhou said it was time to eat, all six of them picked up their chopsticks in unison, looking as if they were ready to dig in. It could be said that they had a tacit understanding of each other.
Even Jiang Anyun, who came to the restaurant for the first time, picked up his chopsticks as well.
"Please enjoy your meal," Yuan Zhou did not linger. He turned around and walked away, leaving Yin Ya alone.
Yin Ya extended her slender hands and started to introduce the dishes. As everyone was waiting to eat, Yin Ya did not give a long speech this time. Instead, she simply introduced the names of the dishes and got everyone to dig in.
"This is amazing." The girl with neat bangs looked at the small and cute flowers on the plate with her chopsticks. Even she could not bear to start.
On the other hand, Xiaochen was carefree. She only picked up the Cape Jasmine Salad after Yin Ya and Mo Yu started eating. She did not forget to say, "Of course. This is Little Ya's boyfriend, Head Chef Yuan. He will definitely be amazing."
After saying that, Xiaochen ignored everyone's gazes and stuffed the flower bud in her chopsticks into her mouth.
It wasn't that Xiaochen didn't want to wait for a while, but the flower on the chopsticks was too fragrant. The refreshing fragrance of the flower was accompanied by the faint sour aroma of a cold dish. She really couldn't hold it in.
Once it entered his mouth, the fragrance of the flower instantly filled his nose, making him feel as if he had eaten a fresh flower bud. The tip of his tongue came into contact with the tender white flower bud of the gardenia flower. The soft texture was followed by a faint fragrance and the aroma of sesame followed closely behind.
The soft texture of the flower petals, the aroma of sesame, and the elegant fragrance of the flower caused Xiaochen to narrow her eyes and swallow the flower in one gulp.
"Oh, it smells so good." Xiaochen was about to praise it, but as she spoke, the fragrance of the flower seemed to be rushing out of her mouth, causing her to close her mouth. Only then did she say that it smelled so good.
None of the people present had the intention to laugh at Xiaochen, because they were all in a similar situation.
"It turns out that flowers can also be made into so delicious and so many cold dishes. What a wonderful idea," Mo Yu praised.
"Actually, the flower itself contains 22 types of amino acids, protein, starch, and fat that the human body needs. Furthermore, it also contains vitamins A, B, C, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and other trace elements. It has a certain medicinal and health care function, and it can also strengthen the physique and prolong life." Yin Ya explained with a smile.
"For example, this Gardenias Salad has the effect of clearing the lungs and cooling the blood. It's especially suitable for today's hot weather." Yin Ya pointed at the middle of the table where only the clean plates were left and said.
That's right, when Yin Ya said this, the six of them had already finished all the cold dishes on the table, leaving nothing behind.
As for the six of them, Mo Yu and Jiang Anyun naturally listened attentively. Even when they saw Yin Ya pointing at the empty plates and introducing the nutritional value of the flowers, their expressions didn't change.
As for the remaining four people, Xiaochen, the girl with neat bangs, and the other two girls, they were a little embarrassed. As expected of a leader, her face was not something ordinary people could compare to.
Fortunately, at this time, Yuan Zhou came over with a tray again. This time, it was naturally six hot dishes.
Every time a dish was served, Yin Ya would say the name of the dish tacitly.
"This is Fried Eggs with Bitter Thorns Flower. Bitter Thorns Flower is a plant unique to Yunnan Province. In traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effect of lowering internal heat, lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, and relieving heat. It's also a little helpful for indigestion." When she said the last sentence, Yin Ya obviously had a hint of ridicule.
After all, the six of them had just finished the six normal cold dishes like a whirlwind, and Yin Ya had only tasted each one of them.
"No, no, I can't eat too much at Boss Yuan's place." Actually, Xiaochen wanted to say that it was impossible for her to be full, but thinking that it was not appropriate to say it like that, she changed her words to eat too much at the last minute.
Yin Ya smiled and did not say anything. Then, she continued to introduce, "This is Jade Lotus Flower with Mashed Broad Beans. This jade lotus flower looks a little like a pink lily, but it is actually a wild gardenia, and it tastes very good."
"Gulp." This was the sound of everyone swallowing their saliva while looking at the dishes.
"I've learned a lot. These dishes are really exquisite," Jiang Anyun said uncomfortably as he straightened his sleeves.
What Jiang Anyun wanted to say was that the names of the dishes could be introduced after eating, but who could resist the aroma? He just wanted to quickly put the dishes in his mouth and taste the taste, and did not care about anything else.
Fortunately, there were a total of six hot dishes. Later, Yin Ya also slightly sped up the introduction and soon came to the last dish, "This is Pork with Peony Flower."
"The peony flower is made from Luoyang peony. The color is bright and beautiful, and the fragrance is rich. Everyone, try it." After saying that, Yin Ya made a gesture of invitation.
At the side, Yuan Zhou also put away the tray and said, "Please enjoy."
After saying that, Yuan Zhou looked at Yin Ya, who had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then turned to leave to continue preparing other dishes.
In fact, it was not that Yuan Zhou did not accompany Yin Ya, but the flowers of this Flower Banquet needed to be soaked for two to three hours before being made into dishes. And Yuan Zhou calculated the time and began to soak the petals in batches before lunch, waiting for people to come and prepare, and then he would start to cook.
Therefore, now was the time when Yuan Zhou was cooking, and the host of this banquet was Yin Ya. If Yuan Zhou went over, he would inevitably steal Yin Ya's limelight, so Yuan Zhou pointed out the dishes and let Yin Ya explain.
As soon as Yuan Zhou left, everyone couldn't hold back and picked up the chopsticks to eat. As usual, Yin Ya, Mo Yu, and Jiang Anyun were the first to eat.
This time, Mo Yu aimed at the Pork with Peony Flower because other dishes were fine, but this was the first time Mo Yu had seen Peony Flower in a dish. Naturally, he wanted to try its taste first.
Although Peony was not legally a national flower, in everyone's heart, the most beautiful thing was the peony. This sentence was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Therefore, the first thing Mo Yu ate was not a piece of meat, but a piece of peony.
This Pork with Peony Flower was made of pink-purple peony petals and thin slices of meat that were quickly stir-fried together.
Because of a thin layer of starch, the pink-purple peony petals looked slightly crystal clear, and after heating, the petals became slightly transparent. When it was picked up by chopsticks, it did not collapse, but still maintained the original appearance of the peony petals, which was very beautiful.
"It's really the first time I've eaten Peony Flower in a dish." Mo Yu sighed with emotion and then directly started eating.
As soon as the petals entered his mouth, the thin layer of starch on the outer layer immediately melted. When his tongue touched the petals, it felt like silk, delicate and smooth. The unique fragrance of the peony was thrown away, leaving only a simple fragrance. It rushed into his throat and nose, making him feel that his whole body was fragrant.
"Oh", after closing his mouth and keeping the fragrance, Mo Yu began to chew.
The silky and smooth petals unexpectedly had a texture like vegetables, which was very chewy. In addition to the fragrance of the peony itself, there was also a meaty fragrance mixed in.
"I wonder if your boyfriend's Flower Banquet is listed for sale in the restaurant, Yin Ya?" Jiang Anyun asked clearly while eating.
