"But Blockhead, why did so many children prepare gifts for you? Did you do something that you didn't tell me?" Yin Ya tilted her head slightly and asked.
"I just donated some money to the school. Didn't Little Ya also donate before?" Yuan Zhou didn't feel that he did anything great, but the children's intentions should be cherished.
"I see." Yin Ya nodded her head understandingly.
After being together with Yuan Zhou, Yin Ya knew that Yuan Zhou had secretly adopted many pandas. Therefore, she wasn't surprised that Yuan Zhou would donate a sum of money to the school in Shanghai. However, Yin Ya didn't know that Yuan Zhou's so-called sum of money was actually a sum of money every month. There would never be a time for him to stop donating.
Time passed quickly. Although Yuan Zhou was very reluctant, Yuan Zhou still sent Yin Ya to the airport, so the lunch time was delayed by half an hour.
He wanted to make milk tea for the whole family before Yin Ya left, but the roasted suckling pig was stuck. Yuan Zhou felt that the taste was not good enough, so he didn't submit the task to get the reward.
Although there was no milk tea, Yuan Zhou still prepared various snacks for Yin Ya, including essential New Year goods and cured meat and sausages, which could be carried by domestic airlines.
In addition, there were also dried fruits, green root fruits, pistachios, etc. specially made by Yuan Zhou for Yin Ya to eat and play on the road.
Compared with usual, although Taoxi Road was still bustling, there were much fewer people, because the holidays were all on.
"I work outside all year round. It's rare for me to have a holiday for the New Year. I must come to eat the food cooked by Boss Yuan. Only then will I feel that my life is complete. I must line up at night."
This was what Zhang Bingxin said when she returned to Chengdu from Shanghai at noon. Yuan Zhou remembered this person, because last year, Zhang Bingxin also said this exaggeratedly when she passed by. She also said that she would line up at night, and then … she didn't come.
As expected, Zhang Bingxin really just said that and didn't come at night.
One hundred sets of New Year's goods were sold every day. Therefore, in addition to being busy with preparations, Yuan Zhou had temporarily given up on his knife skills in his free time to experiment with the roasted suckling pig.
"Completing this mission before the new year makes me feel different." Yuan Zhou had been eating the roasted suckling pig he made yesterday and the day before.
The Cantonese roast suckling pig was not simply roasted. It was just overheated. Most of the time, it was steamed. During this period, the skin was pricked with needles, and oil and sauce were poured over it.
The final product was a roasted suckling pig. The meat was soft and tender, but it was also a fact that it was not crisp enough.
"I do understand the roasting and steaming in Guangdong Province. This is to ensure the tenderness of the pork to the greatest extent. But is there a way to achieve this by roasting?" It was not a sudden idea. Anyway, it was the direction that Yuan Zhou was working towards.
"To reach this step, the main thing is heat control. Heat control is extremely difficult, to the point that it's basically impossible."
It was more than 5 kilograms of meat and it wasn't a barbecue. If he told others about his idea, they would probably think that he was talking nonsense.
"System, prepare the ingredients for the roasted suckling pig. I think I can do it again," Yuan Zhou said.
"Okay, Lord Host," the system displayed.
Taking the suckling pig released by the system, Yuan Zhou started to deftly remove the hair and marinate it. As it was roasted directly by fire, he added the mixed honey when brushing it. Of course, there was definitely more than just honey inside.
The sauce was specially prepared by Yuan Zhou. From the taste to the viscosity, he had adjusted it several times before he finally settled on it.
Nowadays, many roasted suckling pigs appeared as sacrificial offerings. The shape of the roasted suckling pig had always been maintained in the shape of a whole pig. "Whole" was the basic requirement of a sacrificial offering. For the sake of taste, Yuan Zhou felt that it could be changed.
The main reason was that different parts of the suckling pig used different fire. For example, the fire used for the trotters and the pork breast was definitely different.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou used the Knife Skills like a butcher dismembering an ox again, "Yuan Zhou Dismembering the Pig".
Then, it was a little similar to the roasting of the Golden Fowl. He first tightened the skin of the pig with an open flame and brushed the special sauce. Then, he put the parts into the oven one after another.
"There shouldn't be any problem this time." Yuan Zhou stared at the roasted suckling pig in the oven and calculated the time.
Once the time was up, Yuan Zhou directly took out the roasted suckling pig and put it on a special super-large oval plate to form a complete suckling pig. From the appearance, it was almost impossible to tell that this was the Knife Skills.
To put it bluntly, the dishes used to measure the Knife Skills were Chrysanthemum Tofu and Wen Si Tofu. But now, he had to add the Yuan Style Roasted Suckling Pig. Because of this …
"More than 90% of the chefs probably can't do it." Yuan Zhou pondered.
That was really too polite. 99.9% of the chefs probably couldn't do it.
Yuan Zhou inadvertently created the final postgraduate examination of the Knife Skills in the culinary circle in the future. Many chefs wanted to make the Yuan Style Roasted Suckling Pig all their lives.
"Congratulations, host, for completing the second stage of the in-class quiz." The system suddenly displayed.
"Is it done? It's almost done. "Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
With Yuan Zhou's culinary skills, he already had a clear idea of whether he could complete the mission or not. After working hard for several days, he finally developed a dish that belonged to him.
"Let me check the situation of the mission." Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly.
"[Second Stage of the in-class quiz (1)] Create the Yuan Style Roasted Suckling Pig. (Completed)
[Test Tips] Jin Hai could figure out the Golden Sea Roasted Suckling Pig with the style of the roasted Golden Fowl. As the future Master Chef, he couldn't fall behind.
[Test Reward] Milk Tea Gift Bag (Redeemable) "
"I won't redeem it now. I'll redeem it after the Chinese New Year. It just so happens that there's a new atmosphere in the Chinese New Year. I'll buy more drinks for the restaurant." Yuan Zhou pondered.
"Host, you've successfully completed the Yuan Style Roasted Suckling Pig and successfully unlocked the [Yuan Family's Cuisine · Menu]. Do you want to add the Yuan Style Roasted Suckling Pig to the menu?" The system rarely displayed a long string of words when it wasn't the time for science popularization.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said.
The system displayed, "Host, please set the price."
"2666." Yuan Zhou thought for a while. Needless to say, the suckling pig provided by the system was definitely the best. Therefore, the price was suitable.
The system displayed, "It's done."
Seeing that it was still early, Yuan Zhou left the backyard and planned to go to the restaurant to check the Yuan Family's Cuisine menu.
When Yuan Zhou walked into the restaurant, the menu was still quietly placed on the table. There didn't seem to be any changes.
He walked over, took a menu, and directly flipped to the last page. Yuan Zhou felt that the new dishes should be on the last page. He had done the same when he added the other cuisines previously.
However, this time, Yuan Zhou miscalculated. When he flipped to the last page, it was clearly written that Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions, Braised Pork Tendon with Scallions, etc. It was obviously Shandong Cuisine.
"Could it be in front?" Yuan Zhou guessed. His movements weren't slow either. He directly flipped to the first page and intended to read it from the beginning.
At first glance, Yuan Zhou saw the three cursive characters of "Yuan Family's Cuisine". He didn't know what kind of font it was. He didn't know much about fonts, but he just felt that it looked very nice.
There was only one name at the bottom, [Yuan Style Roasted Suckling Pig]. 2666 RMB per dish.
