"System, is it all made by myself?" Yuan Zhou looked at it and decided to make it clear first.
Yuan Zhou knew a little about the making of the Lotus Root Starch. For example, as long as he didn't see the person making the Lotus Root Starch with his own eyes, it was basically fake. The Lotus Root Starch sold on the market was all the fake water chestnut powder.
The water chestnut powder was white in color and became transparent after being soaked in the water. The real Lotus Root Starch, on the other hand, had a light pink color. The color was beautiful and the fragrance was faint but didn't disperse.
As for why it was pink, it was because the real Lotus Root Starch contained more iron and reducing sugar, which would naturally oxidize when exposed to the air.
The system displayed, "Host, you can check it yourself."
"It seems that I have to receive it to know." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
He tapped on the button to receive it. Just in a little while, all the techniques were transmitted to Yuan Zhou's brain.
Then, Yuan Zhou found that he had underestimated the system. A small Lotus Root Starch was not just particular, it was simply a rookie.
From the selection of lotus seeds to the flowering and growing of the lotus roots, there were strict requirements and standards.
Nowadays, Yuan Zhou was always extraordinarily enthusiastic about new foods.
Yuan Zhou basically spent the whole night grinding the Lotus Root Starch. The strict requirements made the Lotus Root Starch all be made with a stone mill this time.
Even though Yuan Zhou had the system's help, he didn't make too many of them.
With the customer flow of Yuan Zhou, it was only enough for him to sell the Lotus Root Starch for two days. Every time he finished cooking the delicacies, he would be rewarded with two more bowls of the Lotus Root Starch. Therefore, it was the same this time.
Having been busy all night, Yuan Zhou was still energetic. He opened the door after a sound of "Hua La".
"Good morning, boss." While entering the restaurant, Mu Xiaoyun observed Yuan Zhou's face curiously.
"Humm. Your medicine is very effective." Yuan Zhou looked milder and the panda eyes on his face had basically disappeared.
"Good morning, Boss Yuan. Let's get started." The four people went up and greeted Yuan Zhou. Then, they started to do what they had promised yesterday attentively.
As for apologizing, they didn't say anything more. Doing well was more important than anything else.
"Humm." Yuan Zhou didn't have a good impression of them, so his expression was quite formal.
"Boss Yuan, it's rare that you're finally willing to open the door," Ling Hong said through gritted teeth.
"Long time no see." Yuan Zhou was very fond of greeting his regular customers.
"Heh heh, long time no see my ass. After resting for so many days, you only have a flesh wound." Ling Hong directly ridiculed.
"Um. After all, I'm not like you. I rely on my strength and face to make a living," Yuan Zhou said primly, which made Ling Hong vomit blood.
"You? Relying on your face? Let's see your craftsmanship." Ling Hong was speechless at Yuan Zhou's blind confidence.
"Yes, and also the culinary skills." Yuan Zhou nodded his head immodestly without any intention of blushing.
He might not be number one in terms of handsomeness or other aspects, but he was definitely number one in terms of cooking.
Yuan Zhou believed that his craftsmanship was number one and his handsomeness was number two.
"Get out of the way if you don't order." A voice full of resentment came from behind Ling Hong.
"You scared me. I haven't eaten anything yet." Ling Hong said affirmatively.
"Do you think I'm like you?" Wu Hai's contemptuous expression overflowed from his words. The only thing he didn't say was that Ling Hong was like a pig that ate everything.
"Boss Yuan, what's delicious in the morning?" To Wu Hai, the biggest revenge was to ignore him and order the dishes first to make him envious.
"The Lotus Root Starch is provided this morning. Only the Lotus Root Starch." Yuan Zhou pointed at the new price list and said.
"So that's how you got the lotus flower?" Ling Hong looked at the lotus flowers all over the wall with puzzlement and was a little speechless.
"No. This is the restaurant flower." Yuan Zhou said primly.
Looking at Yuan Zhou's manner, Ling Hong instantly didn't want to know what had happened to the restaurant flower. He started to order the dishes decisively.
"I haven't eaten the snacks in the south for a long time. Let me have a bowl." Ling Hong was also a person who often went to the water villages in the south of the Yangtze River.
The warm water, the gentle girls, and the gentle crowds on the street.
Most importantly, the exquisite snacks in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Me, too." Wu Hai said immediately.
"One moment, please." Yuan Zhou answered with a nod and straightforwardly took up the Lotus Root Starch prepared last night and prepared to brew it.
As an old foodie, it was quite easy for him to distinguish the Lotus Root Starch.
"It seems that Boss Yuan also uses the West Lake Lotus Root." Wu Hai looked at the purity of the Lotus Root Starch and said.
"Boss Yuan definitely uses the lotus root from Sanjia Village. The powder is fine and smooth with a hint of red in the white." Ling Hong said with more certainty.
Yuan Zhou didn't say anything, but just nodded his head to confirm that Ling Hong was right. However, there was one difference. Yuan Zhou not only chose the lotus root from Sanjia Village, but also the best lotus root there.
The lotus root provided by the system was naturally worthy of his identity.
The lotus root produced by the pointy-headed white lotus had small pores, thick flesh, and a sweet and mellow taste.
Other people would definitely choose the old lotus root to make the Lotus Root Starch, which had more powder and a stronger fragrance. However, Yuan Zhou was different. He liked to use the tender lotus root and even only used the third segment in the middle of the tender lotus root.
The Lotus Root Starch prepared in this way had a lovely color, a hint of red in the white, and a delicate texture, clean, and fragrant.
The fragrance was different from the strong fragrance of the old lotus root. The fragrance of the tender lotus root lingered faintly at the tip of the nose, bringing with it a refreshing feeling.
"Boss Yuan, what kind of water is this? It doesn't look like cold water." With his sharp eyes, Ling Hong immediately noticed that the water poured by Yuan Zhou was different.
"Lotus Heart Dew." Yuan Zhou always wore a face mask whenever he prepared the dishes. This time was no exception.
"Is it the dew of the lotus leaf?" Ling Hong looked at it and asked.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't answer him. He poured the cold water attentively and stirred it while pouring. He was quite serious and his hands didn't even tremble.
Seeing Yuan Zhou do things so seriously, Ling Hong also suppressed his curiosity and watched carefully.
This time, Yuan Zhou chose a Lotus Leaf Bowl. The bowl seemed to be made of lotus leaves. It was a dark green bowl with the edge of the lotus leaves and the veins leading to the bottom of the bowl were like the veins of the lotus leaves.
After being rinsed with cold water, the Lotus Root Starch wasn't sticky and didn't have a distinct pink color either.
"Hua Hua"
At that time, Yuan Zhou poured the hot water into the bowl. The water used to make the Lotus Root Starch couldn't be boiling hot water. Yuan Zhou was very familiar with the control of the temperature.
Of course, the amount of water was just right. The Lotus Root Starch was 80% full in the Lotus Leaf Bowl.
The light pink color matched with the dark green Lotus Leaf Bowl. Steam curled up from the top of the bowl, making it look like a pinkish-white lotus flower was carried over.
"Enjoy your meal, please." Yuan Zhou carried two servings to them at a time and said.
"Even a bowl of Lotus Root Starch can be made so exquisite. Boss Yuan is indeed Boss Yuan Li." The very hungry Wuhai also looked carefully for a while and then said.
"This little thing used to be a tribute. Of course it's exquisite." Ling Hong despised Wuhai's knowledge again.
Nevertheless, Wuhai didn't argue with Ling Hong. He directly scooped up a spoonful and started to eat it. The spoon used to eat the Lotus Root Starch was made of fragrance-free wood by Yuan Zhou. After it was polished into a spoon, it didn't have any peculiar smell. It couldn't be better to eat the Lotus Root Starch with it.
The Lotus Root Starch appeared even more crystal clear and transparent on the brown wooden spoon. After swallowing it up, he found the taste was very mellow and smooth. There wasn't any stinging feeling and it emitted a faint fragrance in his mouth.
The warm taste was just right. After swallowing a mouthful, the fragrance of the lotus flower surprisingly began to emit from his throat. It was as if he had not only eaten the Lotus Root Starch but also a lotus petal. Of course, the Lotus Leaf Bowl in his hand also brought out the best of the taste.
