Lei Ti knew that Yuan Zhou didn't have much time, so he immediately took out a black plastic bag and took out a dried plant with some mud on it. "Boss Yuan, I went to Gui Province this time and got a spice called Shanyuan Pi.
"Boss Yuan, when I went to Gui Province this time, I obtained a kind of spice that the locals call Shanyuan Peel. It is said that adding it to the meat can enhance the fragrance of the meat. I have tried it once and it is indeed quite good. The fragrance is tempting, making people unable to stop eating it. Outside of that village, even in the towns, no one uses it. Therefore, I brought you some dried ones. This is a fresh plant. It was the picking season back then, so I picked one," said Lei Ti.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou took the plant and a small cloth bag with both hands. He was already used to Lei Ti's behavior of bringing food back from time to time.
Then he went back to the kitchen and took out two small jars that looked like earthenware jars. The mouth of the jars was smaller, the middle was bigger, and the bottom was smaller.
The mouth of the jars was tied with a dark-colored cloth. It was probably specially made for sealing. It didn't look heavy, and Yuan Zhou easily carried one in each hand.
"This is some cherry jam I made recently. This is all that's left. You guys came in time. Take it back and have a taste." Yuan Zhou pushed the jars in front of the two.
Last year, the old mulberry grandpa's fruit business was good, so he contracted a small cherry orchard at home. This year, not only did he give Yuan Zhou a lot of mulberries, but he also gave him a lot of cherries.
If he couldn't finish them, Yuan Zhou made them into jam as usual.
Most of them had been given away to others. Only a few were left. Even so, Wu Hai had been keeping an eye on Yuan Zhou all the time. He wanted to scam more of Yuan Zhou's soy sauce as a reserve for Yuan Zhou's leave.
"Boss Yuan, I won't stand on ceremony then. Thank you, Boss Yuan." Lei Ti's serious face couldn't hide the happy smile.
He had long heard of Yuan Zhou's mulberry jam. Just from the description, he could tell that it was delicious. Now that it was finally his turn, Lei Ti's face almost broke from smiling.
Although Guo Penghao didn't know what was so special about the cherry jam, he knew that Yuan Zhou's products must be of high quality. In addition, Lei Ti's expression made Guo Penghao quickly pick up the jar that belonged to him, for fear that someone would snatch it.
Lei Ti wanted to snatch it, but he was a prideful person. He would not do such a disgraceful thing in front of Yuan Zhou.
He just secretly glared at his worried brother and then said goodbye to Yuan Zhou. He looked at his watch and realized that it was getting late.
After the two left, Yuan Zhou picked up the two boxes and planned to put them upstairs.
There were many ways to determine whether a dish existed or not. For example, judging by the dish, the way it was cooked, or the authenticity of the documents.
For example, the delicacies that appeared in Qi Min's Fortress were very realistic. Even boiled cheese could be eaten now.
The four words "Yin, Qing, Yuan, Que" came from Su Dongpo's Shuidiao Getou. Therefore, even if this dish existed, it must have been created after the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, it could also be another dish that changed its name.
Yuan Zhou started to make an accurate judgment, "System, do you think this dish really exists?"
The system displayed, "According to the test, the probability of this dish existing is more than 80%."
OK, the judgment ended. It was basically true.
Yuan Zhou thought silently, "Since it really exists, I have to study it carefully."
After he put the things away, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. On the other side, Lei Ti and Guo Penghao didn't go back after they left. Instead, they waited outside for lunchtime to start.
"Is the cherry jam really so delicious?" Guo Penghao asked curiously when he saw Lei Ti's small eyes glancing at the bag that contained the jar from time to time.
"Give me the jar and I'll tell you," Lei Ti said straightforwardly.
"Ho Ho!" Guo Penghao sneered and turned his head, pretending that he didn't know Lei Ti. He had never seen such a shameless person.
"Even if we can't make a deal, we can still be benevolent. Why are you so calculative?" Lei Ti revealed a look of "Why are you so stingy?"
If Guo Penghao wasn't on the street, he would have started to argue with Lei Ti about martial arts. It was impossible for him to be neither a literary nor a martial artist.
"Even if I haven't eaten the food cooked by Head Chef Yuan, it doesn't mean I don't know what Head Chef Yuan has achieved over the years. Do you think I'm that easy to fool?" Guo Penghao couldn't help but taunt Lei Ti.
As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together. Since they could become good friends, they naturally had some similarities.
The two started to discuss the matter of the cherry jam. For the time being, there wasn't a winner. After lunch, Guo Penghao got to know Lei Ti's sinister intentions.
Back to Boss Yuan, Sun Ming had mentioned his birthday banquet previously. Yuan Zhou took it to heart.
Today was the day. In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou didn't practice his culinary skills. Instead, he took out the cake embryos he made last night, planning to make a cake for Sun Ming.
Although it wasn't very big, he made three layers. Each layer looked different. It could be considered an innovation and an attempt.
The first layer was 14 inches, the second layer was 12 inches, and the third layer was 10 inches. Each layer was decorated according to Sun Ming's preferences, making it look luxurious and festive.
Apart from the cake, Yuan Zhou recalled that Sun Ming had mentioned the uniqueness of this banquet. Therefore, he prepared the ingredients for Sun Ming's favorite dish, the Twice Cooked Pork.
Yuan Zhou planned to bring Yin Ya to attend Sun Ming's birthday banquet. It could be considered as introducing some of his old friends to Yin Ya. Yuan Zhou also prepared the ingredients for the Green Pepper Shredded Pork for Yin Ya.
Previously, when Yin Ya heard that she was going to cook at someone else's birthday banquet, she didn't have much confidence. Yin Ya indeed had some culinary skills, but it was only at the standard of home-cooked dishes. Now that she was going to cook for someone else, if she didn't do well, it would definitely damage Yuan Zhou's reputation.
Therefore, Yin Ya chose a simple dish and studied it from Yuan Zhou.
"Wood is really wood." This was Yin Ya's feeling after studying for a few days.
Although Yin Ya felt that Yuan Zhou's seriousness and seriousness in culinary skills were praiseworthy, she was still a little timid when she thought of the time when she was learning to cook.
After dinner time, Yuan Zhou left the pub to Mao Ye who had arrived in advance. Yin Ya arrived in a hurry.
She was dressed in a slender one-piece dress with a thin windbreaker on the outside, which made Yin Ya look even more slender. She had shapely eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and her face was a little red because of the quick walk.
"Little Ya, we're here. Let's go." Yuan Zhou carried a large custom-made cake box in his left hand and a bulging bag in his right hand. It seemed to contain something.
"Okay. Let me help." While saying that, Yin Ya took a step forward and intended to take the smaller bag.
"It's not heavy. I can carry it." Yuan Zhou stepped aside and walked to Yin Ya, saying that.
Seeing Yuan Zhou insist, Yin Ya pursed her lips and didn't say anything anymore. She just walked beside Yuan Zhou, looking as if she were going back to her parents' home.
For this unique birthday banquet, Sun Ming had set the venue at a farmhouse so that it would be convenient for everyone to work. It wasn't very far from Taoxi Road, but it wasn't near either. It would take about half an hour to get there.
The car was booked by Yin Ya in advance. As soon as they came out, they got on the car and headed for the farmhouse.
Sun Ming was waiting at the intersection if they wanted to make a call. Therefore, Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya were picked up as soon as they arrived. The timing was just right.
When everyone arrived, the boisterous banquet began.
