"Auntie Tong, how have you been recently?"
"Yeah, it's almost New Year. Come back this year. I'll make glutinous rice balls."
"Tofu is fine too. I promise Auntie Tong will have a good meal."
"That's a deal."
After hanging up, Yuan Zhou couldn't hide his smile. Time passed quickly. It was almost New Year again.
Just like last year, Yuan Zhou called Boss Tong early in the morning and asked her to come to The Kitchen God to celebrate New Year.
Boss Tong didn't agree last year, saying that she had something to do. But this year, she agreed.
Ever since the restaurant opened, it would be lively every New Year, especially with Wuhai there. The atmosphere couldn't be bad no matter what.
There were only a few months left until New Year. It felt like there were a lot of things to do. Every association had a meeting. Luckily, these associations didn't make things difficult for Yuan Zhou. They just sent a notice and didn't ask him to attend.
Even so, Yuan Zhou gave up two days of sculpting time in the afternoon to organize some matters for the Green Chef Association.
Needless to say, Yin Ya, who had just been promoted, was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat the red wine and desserts in the afternoon.
"I don't know why, but every year at the end of the year, there's an atmosphere that tells people that they're very busy." Yuan Zhou said, "Luckily, I bring soup and porridge to Xiao Ya almost every night to nourish her body. Otherwise, she would really lose weight."
Yuan Zhou took a lot of effort to gain fat. It couldn't be gone so easily.
"That's right, if I remember correctly, this year should be the first New Year that I'm celebrating with Xiao Ya."
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhou felt that he had to prepare and think of a surprise in advance. After all, the first time should be more memorable.
Yesterday, I saw on the news that a chef proposed to his wife. He made a three-meter tall chocolate cake for his wife who loves to eat chocolate.
Yuan Zhou felt that he could use it as a reference. A three-meter tall chocolate cake wasn't eye-catching, so Yuan Zhou decided to evolve it.
He made the whole house into desserts. There was a table with chocolate, a vase with cake, and a table with candy.
Haha, I can do it again.
While Yuan Zhou was writing and drawing in his notebook, a sudden female voice woke him up.
Coming back to his senses, Yuan Zhou took a closer look and saw that it was Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan held the menu excitedly and pointed at the mustard and shrimp sauce happily.
"I'm sorry, Boss Yuan. I've disturbed you." Yuan Yuan saw the surprised look on Yuan Zhou's face and realized that she had spoken too loudly just now.
"Yuanyuan, long time no see," Yuan Zhou greeted.
"It's been a long time. I moved to a new place, so it's a little far from the restaurant," Yuan Yuan said. "But it's fine. I can save enough money to have a good meal."
Yuan Zhou nodded. In fact, The Kitchen God had quite a lot of customers. As far as Yuan Zhou knew, some of them had kids moving to school, some of them had moved away from their companies, and some of them had given birth to a child and needed to save money. So on and so forth, the number of customers had decreased.
The Kitchen God had always been in Taoxi Road. It was formed by the customers who came here once, a few times, or often.
"There's still some time before dinner time." Yuan Zhou checked his phone.
"I know, I know." Yuan Yuan nodded her head, indicating that she understood very well. Then she said, "Yesterday, I had a dream that new sauces were released in your restaurant, so I came here today to have a look. As expected, two new sauces were released."
"You had a dream yesterday?" Yuan Zhou was stupefied. What the hell was this? Was she really living in a place and nurturing all kinds of strange dreams? How could she even dream of this?
"I don't know what the shrimp sauce is, but I've heard of a very delicious secret recipe for the mustard sauce. Boss Yuan, do you want to try it?" Yuan Yuan asked.
The secret recipe was delicious. Yuan Zhou didn't have the slightest resistance to these words.
Although he knew in his heart that Yuan Yuan tasted delicious and was different from 99% of the people, what if … Therefore, Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said, "What secret recipe?"
Yuan Yuan asked, "Let me ask you first. Is the mustard sauce Boss Yuan prepared with yellow mustard or green mustard?"
"Both," Yuan Zhou answered.
"That's good. Boss Yuan, you definitely know the recipe for fermented bean curd. After adding the green mustard sauce to the fermented bean curd, it's absolutely delicious to go with the rice," Yuan Yuan said.
The two words "as expected" appeared in Yuan Zhou's mind. He couldn't have any expectations for the delicacy in Yuan Yuan's mouth.
What would the taste of fermented bean curd and pungent green mustard sauce be? Yuan Zhou's imagination was very vivid. Once he thought of the taste, he couldn't help shuddering.
"The combination of green mustard and fermented bean curd will definitely go well with the rice. I think I can eat two more bowls of rice." While thinking of that, Yuan Yuan started drooling. The more she talked, the more excited she became.
"Boss Yuan, you can't tell others. You have to keep my secret recipe a secret. I want to be the first to eat it," Yuan Yuan said.
"Okay … I will definitely keep it a secret." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"No, I'm too greedy. I originally planned to come here for a meal during the Chinese New Year, but I can't help it. I will come to line up tonight." With that said, Yuan Yuan made up her mind and ran away.
Looking at Yuan Yuan's back as she left, Yuan Zhou felt that one more dish could be added to the "Dark Cuisine Hidden in The Kitchen God" written by Wang Hong.
In any case, the food cooked by Yuan Zhou had nothing to do with dark cuisine. However, it couldn't withstand the second creation of great inventors. Wang Hong counted seven dishes, and five of them were created by Yuan Yuan.
There was still some time before dinner ingredients were prepared, so he continued to study the surprise for Yin Ya.
Many things seemed simple, but they were really difficult to do.
It was really difficult, but it was not impossible. After all, Yuan Zhou had also completed the impossible at the dessert party.
As a practical person, Yuan Zhou had already begun to find manufacturers to customize molds.
The key problem was that if he really wanted to combine chocolate, cake, candy, and other things into a set of room furniture, just creating the mold was a big problem. In addition, there were various kinds of preservation, as well as the design of the shape and hardness. A few months was also quite a rush.
Regarding Western Pastry, Yuan Zhou had not studied it systematically, so he still needed to consult professionals on some things.
He first asked those he was familiar with. Yuan Zhou called Manman. After hearing about Yuan Zhou's intention, Manman showed great enthusiasm.
"Boss Yuan, that's a very good idea. According to the information I've found, only the Italian dessert master, Lasu, has made a cake sofa. Moreover, it's not even a 1: 1 ratio." Man Man said.
Manman said, "If Boss Yuan can really make it, Big Sister Yin Ya will definitely be very happy, because this surprise is definitely one of a kind."
"Boss Yuan, if you really can make it, can you let me have a look?" If it was someone else, not to mention making a set of furniture, even replicating a cake sofa would be impossible for Manman.
One had to know that Lassus used more than half a year to complete the cake sofa with the help of several assistants.
"You have to ask Little Ya, and help me keep this a secret," Yuan Zhou said.
"Understood, understood." Manman nodded. As a girl, she was really quite envious of Yin Ya.
This surprise was really not something that money could buy.
