Although there was an interlude, dinner time was still very smooth.
The pub was not open today. Hence, Yuan Zhou informed Mao Ye in advance that she was not allowed to come over.
Since he had decided to prepare the street snacks, he started to prepare them not long after the dinner was over.
"Ding Ling Lang"
Of course, it was impossible to prepare only one type of street snack. Yuan Zhou planned to prepare a few more so that everyone would have a choice.
"I'm that considerate." Yuan Zhou was very proud of himself.
"Candied haws. This definitely can't be missing. Little Ya will definitely like them. Make more and prepare some for Little Ya. Should we prepare some cotton candy? How about some roasted chestnuts? The weather is still cold, so it's best to eat them. "Yuan Zhou prepared the dishes in an orderly manner.
Wuhai's nose was definitely the sharpest. As long as it was Yuan Zhou who was cooking, even with the system's interference, the only difference was whether Wuhai was at Taoxi Road or not.
"Compass, is it going to rain today?" Wuhai came in from the door and saw that Yuan Zhou had prepared a lot of food. He was instantly enlightened. "Yes.
We are preparing street snacks today, "Yuan Zhou replied.
There were no clouds in the sky. The night sky was dark and clean. There was no sign of rain. However, since Yuan Zhou said it would rain, Wuhai believed that it would.
"Is there meat?" As a carnivore, his focus was indeed different.
"Yes." It was street snacks, but it would definitely not do without meat.
It was just that it was not like barbecue, where there was a clear line of demarcation. It was either meat or vegetable dishes.
After getting Yuan Zhou's reply, Wuhai instantly quietened down. He sat there and prepared to eat. His sitting posture was similar to Romeo.
To add on, Romeo was a dog, Zong Mo's dog.
The Candied Haws cooked by Yuan Zhou didn't follow the traditional cooking method and only used hawthorn. Instead, he used many fruits in the restaurant, such as strawberries, apples, oranges, and even pineapples.
When Yuan Zhou was brewing the syrup, his technique was very special. Therefore, when it was poured on the fruits, it was crystal clear. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a little shiny, you wouldn't be able to tell that sugar had been poured on it. It was just that the color was better than before.
The second person to arrive was Wang Hong. Although he guessed that it was going to rain eleven out of ten times, it didn't stop him from making it in time for the barbecue. However, whether or not he would be able to eat his favorite was another matter. In fact, this was also a skill.
"Boss Yuan, are we having grilled chicken wings today?" Wang Hong was the type of person who grew braver the more frustrated he was.
"No," Yuan Zhou said without hesitation.
"Oh, it's okay. It's good to have candied haws." Wang Hong glanced at it and found a place to sit.
As the barbecue time approached, the originally clear night sky was filled with dark clouds. "Drip, drip". A drizzle began to fall in the sky.
"Boss Yuan is very accurate every time. It's even more accurate than the weather forecast." Wang Hong felt that it would be great if he had such an ability.
"When have you ever seen the weather forecast being accurate?" Zhao YIngjun strode in from outside.
Wang Hong thought for a while and agreed. It was true that the weather forecast was not accurate.
Yuan Zhou passed a clean white towel to Zhao YIngjun to wipe his face and hands. After all, he was still wet from the rain.
Mr. Wei and his daughter, Wei Wei, followed closely behind. They had not been here for a long time. It was a coincidence that they made it in time for the barbecue.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wei, you are here. Come and sit here." Wang Hong greeted Mr. Wei enthusiastically as soon as he saw him.
This was a good man who could exchange chicken wings with him. He must maintain a good relationship with him, although there was no barbecue chicken wings today.
Wei Wei couldn't bear to look at Wang Hong's enthusiasm. She had witnessed the exchange of chicken wings several times and sympathized with Wang Hong. However, if he had to choose, he would definitely choose his father.
"Oh, it's you. I'm here." Mr. Wei greeted him politely.
Naturally, he brought his daughter to sit beside Wang Hong. Then, the two of them started to chat like they were close friends.
"This guy's IQ is much lower than Meaty Boy." Yuan Zhou looked at them and didn't say much.
When it was time, Yuan Zhou was almost done with his preparations. The snack time began.
"Today is street snacks. We have prepared three categories of food. Everyone can have one serving of each. No ordering is allowed," Yuan Zhou said.
"Then I want to eat oranges." Wang Hong looked at the glistening oranges and was very tempted.
"Whatever comes first," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
Then, he started to distribute the food. Each person got a stick of candied hawthorn. Some got apples, some got traditional hawthorn, and some got pineapples.
Each person got a serving of sugar-fried chestnuts. There weren't many, only a dozen or so. However, the chestnuts were very big. Each one was the size of a walnut. There was a big crack in the middle, revealing the yellowish flesh inside. A sweet fruity fragrance assailed everyone's nostrils and was very tempting.
In addition, each person got a serving of fried skewers. They were all different. Some had tenderloin with beef, some had potatoes, and some had vegetables. It all depended on the person's taste.
Although there were many types, everyone had a special preference for the candied hawthorn. Most of them chose to eat it first.
"Ka Cha, Ka Cha"
Wei Wei also chose the candied hawthorn first. Hers was a bunch of white strawberries. There were five of them, and each of them was the same size as if they had been measured with a ruler.
Of course, Wei Wei didn't know that the size of the strawberries was measured with a ruler.
The transparent syrup enveloped each strawberry evenly. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it. When one took a bite, the crispy sugar coating and then the sweet strawberry melted in one's mouth.
"Oh, delicious. So delicious." Wei Wei felt that the candied hawthorn made by Yuan Zhou was very delicious. She couldn't describe the taste with words other than delicious.
Wang Hong took a traditional stick of candied hawthorn and looked at the glistening oranges on Mr. Wei's side. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He didn't like the sour taste of hawthorn and preferred the sweet taste of the oranges. However, the oranges were not in his hands.
He looked at the two skewers of tenderloin and two skewers of beef, as well as the two skewers of eggplant and two skewers of potatoes on Mr. Wei's side. He suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Wei, the candied hawthorn made by Boss Yuan must be delicious. Did you eat candied hawthorn often when you were young? Why don't I trade with Brother Wei and let him reminisce about his childhood?" Seeing that Mr. Wei seemed to be hesitating, he immediately continued, "Of course, I won't take advantage of Brother Wei. I'll give Brother Wei a pork tenderloin and a beef skewer to taste as compensation. After all, Brother Wei has more oranges."
Oranges were petals by petals and were slightly smaller than hawthorn. That was why hawthorn had six petals while oranges had eight petals.
"I'm such a smart guy." Wang Hong felt that his idea was great.
Wang Hong didn't notice the gazes of the people around him. He stared at Mr. Wei as he was immersed in his own idea.
Mr. Wei pondered for a while. There was nothing he could do about it. He nodded and said, "Alright. Since you said so, I'll trade with you."
The two exchanged amicably.
