Although Dean said that he didn't want to show it on the show, he was still eager to do so. Therefore, he thought of a good idea.
When Dean came to The Kitchen God that night, he noticed that there seemed to be more customers and the atmosphere was different.
"Um?" Dean found that many people were congratulating Yuan Zhou.
"Don't tell me it's Yuan's birthday?" Dean quietly joined the crowd's conversation like a gangster.
It didn't take him long to figure out the situation. In the afternoon, Wu Hai had already spread the news that he had two nephews. Not only in reality, but also in the group chat on the internet. Therefore, most of the customers knew about it.
Many customers who had pets at home had a deeper affection for their pets. Naturally, they paid more attention to Rice and its babies. They also told Yuan Zhou many things to pay attention to, and Yuan Zhou listened carefully.
Yuan Zhou was in a good mood for the customers' questions and congratulations. No matter how many times they asked him, he answered them patiently.
Although he didn't sleep for the whole night, Yuan Zhou was full of energy. At least, no matter whether it was preparing the ingredients or cooking, there was no problem.
Time passed bit by bit in such a lively atmosphere. Dean also joined in.
"Xiaoyun, why are you here?" Yuan Zhou saw Mu Xiaoyun after dinner.
"I heard that you have two more dogs. Can you raise them? If you can't, I can bring one back. My brother likes dogs very much," Mu Xiaoyun said.
Mu Xiaoyun's brother, Mu Yunjie, was the first waiter of the restaurant. Unfortunately, he got into trouble on the first day of work and couldn't come. Only Xiaoyun could replace him. However, it was a long time ago, so Yuan Zhou didn't remember it.
It was true that as people got older, they forgot more things. Except for the taste of the customers, Yuan Zhou couldn't remember many things clearly.
"No, it's easy to raise two dogs in the future. Besides, Rice gave birth to twins, so it's better to keep them by my side," Yuan Zhou said.
Mu Xiaoyun was not the first person to say that she wanted to take a puppy away, but Yuan Zhou had also tactfully refused.
"Alright, as long as you can take good care of them." Mu Xiaoyun nodded.
"Little Yun came here just to talk about this?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"That's right. I wanted to share the boss's burden, but I didn't." Mu Xiaoyun giggled.
"Why don't you just give me a call?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"No, I also want to see the noodles and rice soup," Mu Xiaoyun said.
"Okay. Have the two brats' names been made known to the world by Wuhai?" Yuan Zhou facepalmed.
"Brother Wu was very happy in the group today. He said that one of them took their father's surname and the other took their mother's surname. Is that right?" Mu Xiaoyun asked.
Yuan Zhou nodded and said, "Go have a look. But don't get too close. Rice is very territorial now."
"Okay, boss." Mu Xiaoyun walked to the back.
Seeing that, Dean walked up and said, "Head Chef Yuan, I want to learn your unique skill. I will be coming here often in the future. I hope you can agree to it."
"Unique skill?" The first thing that came to Yuan Zhou's mind was Three Beasts Crossing and Butchering a Cow. But knife skills weren't something that could be learned just by looking at it. The only one he had learned was Engineer Cheng, and that was taught by him personally.
"It's hard to learn knife skills just by looking at it," Yuan Zhou decided to tell the truth.
That was because Yuan Zhou wouldn't allow others to work hard in an unrealistic direction.
"Is the knife skill for the sweet and sour carp to stand up?!" Dean was shocked. He didn't expect that.
What was sweet and sour carp? Yuan Zhou blanked out and asked, "Head Chef Dean, what do you want to learn?"
"I'm sorry. I should have known that Head Chef Yuan has many unique skills," Dean apologized and said, "I want to learn Head Chef Yuan's Sweet and Sour Carp plate presentation."
Plate presentation could be called a unique skill? Wasn't that just a casual trick? That was Yuan Zhou's feeling.
"I know this is too much to ask, but I …"
Seeing that Yuan Zhou was silent, Dean wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yuan Zhou, "If it's Sweet and Sour Carp plate presentation, Head Chef Dean, you can line up earlier tomorrow at noon. Choose a seat near the counter and order this dish. I will slow down the cooking process and Head Chef Dean will understand."
"I …"
Seriously, Dean was impressed by Yuan Zhou's generosity. He was even willing to teach Yuan Zhou such a unique skill unconditionally.
Dean didn't know how to thank her. He wanted to say that he would pay, but before he could say anything, he stopped himself. He was at a loss for words.
"Thank you, Head Chef Yuan. Thank you very much. I won't bring shame to this unique skill," Dean thanked and bowed.
"It's okay. It's not a big deal," Yuan Zhou asked again, "Head Chef Dean, is there anything else?"
"Nothing. I won't disturb you anymore, Head Chef Yuan," Dean said and left.
When he reached the end of the street, Dean stopped and muttered to himself, "A chef like Head Chef Yuan is someone that people don't have the courage to chase after. Yet, Chu still regards Head Chef Yuan as his lifelong enemy. Chu is also very strong."
"I must learn this unique skill and let everyone know how great Head Chef Yuan is," Dean made up his mind and went home.
The next day.
"It's Qingming Festival today. I should make breakfast to coincide with the occasion. I've already made Qingming Festival Papa last time. This time, I should make some mugwort leaves and green balls," Yuan Zhou instantly made up his mind.
"If only every day was a festival," Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly.
If every day was a festival, he could just make some food to coincide with the occasion like today.
Previously, when the menu was small, he could still make a few different dishes for breakfast as he pleased. But when the menu became thick, even if he wanted to be casual, he wouldn't have the foundation. There were too many things that he needed to know. Even with the help of the smart app, Yuan Zhou still felt that it wasn't very convenient.
"Pu."
Yuan Zhou took out several types of flour and placed them on the chopping board. He first made a ball of each type and planned to knead it.
The fresh mugwort leaves had already been washed and were being drained. The mugwort leaves provided by the system were fatter and more tender than the ones Yuan Zhou had seen before. The verdant appearance of the mugwort made Yuan Zhou very hungry.
The mugwort leaves and green balls could be made sweet or savory. Yuan Zhou planned to make both sweet and savory. It should be enough for him to make two of each.
In order to cater to the appetite of the customers, Yuan Zhou decided to make the mugwort bigger than the traditional one. The size of a goose egg would be more suitable.
"The sweet mugwort can be used as the rose bean paste and salted egg yolk quicksand stuffing. The savory mugwort can be used as the bean sprouts stuffing and the bacon and bamboo shoots stuffing. Everyone should like them," Yuan Zhou thought while quickly preparing the ingredients he was going to use.
The final stuffing was actually the so-called pickled and fresh stuffing. It tasted salty and fresh, which was the favorite dish of both Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya.
"Ka."
He took out a chubby spring bamboo shoot and started to peel off the leaves deftly. As the stuffing needed to be stewed for a while, he started to cook it first.
Yuan Zhou moved quickly and the customers outside didn't slow down, either. Due to the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, everyone was on vacation. Their beds were no longer fragrant. Only the breakfast cooked by the Kitchen God was the most fragrant. Therefore, even though it was a holiday, there were more people and no one slept in.
There was once a joke that the Kitchen God was the best way to save those who slept in. If it didn't work, it was definitely because they had never eaten the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou.
Although it wasn't appropriate, everyone was quite used to waking up early to eat the breakfast cooked by Yuan Zhou.
Soon, the oily green, soft, and adorable green dumplings began to emit steam.
After checking the time, Yuan Zhou signaled Su Ruoyan to have breakfast. Everyone was extraordinarily enthusiastic about the timely breakfast.
The oily and shiny green balls were not only the warmth of the morning but also the ultimate enjoyment.
The green balls were still on everyone's mind even when it was lunchtime. Some asked if there were any for lunch while others recalled the soft and fragrant taste.
