Wu Hai wasn't too curious about things that weren't related to him. It was fine if he asked about it. Seeing Li Yi come here every few days, he understood his intention.
"Dong Dong Dong", there came a sound of hurried footsteps.
Chen Wei walked into the restaurant quickly with Dong Zi and Zhuzi.
"There are exactly 10 minutes left." Chen Wei raised his hand to check the time and then revealed a smile.
"Do you think it will work?" Dong Zi was still worried about whether Chen Wei's idea would work.
"According to Boss Yuan's rules, there shouldn't be any problem." Zhuzi nevertheless appeared quite confident.
"Let's do it first." Chen Wei made the final decision.
"Boss Yuan, one serving of beef." Zhuzi first ordered a serving of beef.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Dong Zi, saying, "You'll know after you try it."
Then, they each ordered a plate of beef. Then, they stared at the beef in front of them with deep hatred and didn't move their chopsticks.
"There are still 5 minutes left before business time. Chen Wei, your Silk Twined Rabbit." Yuan Zhou took a look at the three people sitting upright at the table and revealed a speechless expression.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." Chen Wei moved his attention away from the beef in the plate and said while looking at Yuan Zhou.
"You are welcome." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
After Chen Wei received it, the three of them started to stare at the beef and the Silk Twined Rabbit.
"Business time ends now. Please come earlier tomorrow." After Yuan Zhou finished his daily routine, the three of them let out a sigh of relief.
"Boss, let me taste a piece of the rabbit. I haven't tasted its taste yet." Zhuzi was the first one who couldn't hold back.
"No way. We have already agreed." When Chen Wei said that, his tone wasn't so serious anymore.
With his mouth covered with saliva, he definitely couldn't speak so fluently.
"The fragrance is too alluring. It won't affect me if I eat one piece." Zhuzi said reasonably.
"I don't think it's a problem. Let's taste one piece each. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Dong Zi also chimed in.
The three of them had eaten the beef and found it very tasty. However, a plate of 12 slices was too little and they didn't dare to eat it. The rabbit in front of them, however, was a bowl.
It was a jade-colored bowl with a big belly and a small mouth. There was a picture of a farmer's kitchen chimney painted on it. The picture was very exquisite, and with real heat, the smoke seemed to really rise from the kitchen chimney.
The fragrance spread out and lingered at the tips of the three people's noses.
"No way. Since we have agreed to eat with liquor, we will eat with liquor." Chen Wei took a look at the beef and rabbit meat and said persistently.
"You are possessed by Boss Yuan. You are so principled," Bamboo said speechlessly.
"Soon," Chen Wei looked at the time and said comfortingly.
Seeing that Chen Wei wouldn't agree no matter what, the three of them could only stare at the dishes in front of them silently.
Fortunately, ten minutes later, Yuan Zhou finally said, "The pub is open. Those who have drawn lots can come in."
"Boss Yuan, I haven't finished my food yet. Let's eat it together when we drink. I don't want to waste food," Chen Wei stood up and said happily while pointing at the rule of not wasting food on the wall.
"Sure." Yuan Zhou took a look at the dishes that hadn't been touched at all and then agreed with a nod.
"That's what I said. Although Boss Yuan is punctual, he has never driven the customers away before they finish their food," Chen Wei said with a manner of understanding.
"We can eat it right away. That's great." Dong Zi only cared about the fact that he could eat it soon.
Judging from his manner, he couldn't wait to take a bite of the beautifully colored rabbit meat in the bowl.
This time, a writer drew lots. It was already his second time. He never ate in Yuanzhou shop. Every time, he came to draw the lottery in the daytime. If he won the lottery, he would come over to drink with liquor. If he didn't, he wouldn't come over to eat. He never brought any dishes to go with liquor.
In his words, "Good liquor needs to be savored, not drunk."
"The sergestes wall of Boss Yuan is indeed a marvelous workmanship. Besides, the pink color of the shrimps is very charming." When the writer passed through the arch door of sergestes, he observed carefully.
"It's indeed beautiful. It looks even more beautiful in the daytime. From the restaurant, we can see the scenery of the courtyard and the scenery inside and outside the wall." The other person who drew lots was Wu Anlu.
He was also a wine lover. In order to save money for liquor, he seldom came to Yuanzhou shop to eat. He just waited for the lottery when he had the money and then came to drink a cup of liquor.
"The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the courtyard is deep with bamboos." The writer recited a poem that didn't match the world at all. However, it was quite suitable for Yuan Zhou pub.
Passing through the courtyard, the several people followed Yuan Zhou to the second floor. There were many bamboos on the second floor. There was a bright moon above the head and the lamps were as bright as daytime. It was quite elegant.
"Put it here, put it here." Dong Zi didn't care about anything else. He carried two plates of beef and kept asking Chen Wei to put down the rabbit meat in his hands.
Originally, Dong Zi was going to carry the rabbit meat. For the sake of safety, however, Chen Wei carried the rabbit meat himself and let Dong Zi carry two plates of beef.
"We can eat it soon. What's the hurry?" Chen Wei put down the rabbit meat steadily and then ridiculed.
"Don't worry. Anyway, I want to eat it first." Dong Zi picked up a piece of reddish-brown rabbit meat and threw it into his mouth as fast as a sudden clap of thunder.
The texture of the rabbit meat was tender and the taste was fresh and delicious. Besides, the bones were small. After being processed by Yuan Zhou, the bones became incomparably soft. For Dong Zi, it was almost as good as nothing. He swallowed it up with two mouthfuls.
"It's delicious." Dong Zi said loudly.
Bamboo was more cultured. At least, he savored it carefully. The rabbit meat melted delicately in his mouth and was mixed with the wonderful fragrance.
The biggest difference between the Silk Twined Rabbit cooked by Yuan Zhou and others was that he used the citronella to wrap the rabbit.
The outer leaves of the perennial citronella were peeled off and only the rhizome was left. After being softened by boiling water, one of the rhizome was cut into three parts and then soaked in hot water again.
At that time, the citronella had become very soft. The three parts were knitted into a rope.
After being knitted, the rope was cooled and then used to wrap the rabbit tightly. The citronella was born with a refreshing lemon fragrance. Breaking it and knitting it again was conducive to the volatilization of the fragrance. During the curing process, the lemon fragrance slowly permeated into the rabbit meat.
When it was eaten again, the rabbit meat carried a very slight lemon fragrance. It was the slight lemon fragrance that made the whole fragrance more integrated.
"Why is the rabbit a little different from the ones outside?" Dong Zi said admiringly while eating.
"This rabbit used to be called the Hundred Flavors Meat. Now I finally understand." Bamboo picked up a piece of meat hurriedly and then said.
"What do you mean?" Dong Zi asked curiously.
"Don't be like Zhu Bajie eating a human fruit. You'll understand." Bamboo said angrily.
While stuffing the meat into his mouth desperately, this guy still had time to talk. Judging from his manner, it was unknown whether he had swallowed the meat after tasting the taste.
The meat of the rabbit was tender and also very easy to be digested and absorbed. Therefore, there was no need to worry about him eating too much or choking.
Fortunately, the portion of the Silk Twined Rabbit was quite sufficient. It should be half a rabbit. Every piece was basically the same size and was placed neatly. There was no minced meat in the bowl and the meat was cut very well.
They stopped talking and then, the three of them earnestly enjoyed the steaming hot and delicious rabbit meat.
It's so delicious.
