Although he hadn't tried the taste yet, the dish presentation and the color of the dish were quite innovative. The chef had indeed put some effort into it.
After smelling it, some crabs still had a fishy smell, but the overall smell wasn't big.
"I have a good sense of smell. Therefore, ordinary customers won't find it obvious," Yuan Zhou judged.
"As for the reason, well … it's because the technique used to process the crabs wasn't good enough," Yuan Zhou said.
As a matter of fact, this was the difficulty of the Crab Stewed with Eggs. The crabs had a fishy smell and so did the eggs. When the two fishy smells were mixed together, it could be one plus one or one minus one.
"Strength and reputation are basically the same. There's no such thing as a bad reputation," Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
He scooped up a spoonful of eggs. When he touched it lightly, Yuan Zhou found the egg noodles were a little overcooked. It should have been taken out of the wok a few seconds late. Only he noticed it. Others wouldn't notice such a subtle difference.
The position chosen by Yuan Zhou was quite ingenious. It contained the three colors of yellow, red, and white. The small and fine crab meat, the finely minced crab roe, and the soft egg. After he put it into his mouth, the egg split open automatically. The crab meat had a watery texture and the gelatinous texture of the slightly chewy crab roe was not bad.
After Yuan Zhou nodded his head, he continued scooping spoonful after spoonful into his mouth. This was his old habit. As long as he came out for a meal, he would finish whatever he ordered regardless of the taste.
After all, there was a rule of not wasting food in the restaurant. When he came out for a meal, Yuan Zhou would naturally follow the rules he had set himself.
Today, Yuan Zhou was most interested in the Crab Stewed with Chicken. When this dish was done well, it was fresh and not inferior to Fish and Lamb. However, if it wasn't done well, it would only have the freshness and sweetness of the chicken while the crab's flavor couldn't be felt. Otherwise, the crab's flavor would be pretty good while the chicken's flavor would have to give up.
"Your Crab Stewed with Chicken. All the dishes are ready. Please enjoy." When the waitress carried the last dish to him, Yuan Zhou was already eating the crab.
The steaming chicken soup was milky white. Some red crab shells and slightly black chicken skin could be vaguely seen.
"Is this a year-old black-boned chicken?" Yuan Zhou stirred the soup with a big spoon and instantly saw the shape of the chicken inside. He immediately determined the approximate age of the chicken.
"You really should use a tender chicken. Otherwise, if it is cooked for too long, the crab won't be good, and the chicken won't be good either," Yuan Zhou said.
He took a small bowl and scooped up half of it. Then, he picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Normally, the meat of the black-boned chicken was sweet and delicious, and the taste of the crab was even more delicious. However, this dish was not as good as Yuan Zhou expected.
"If I stir-fry the chicken, it should be able to retain the moisture better. It won't be as moist as it is now." While tasting the chicken, Yuan Zhou wrote and drew on a small notebook to record his feelings while eating.
In fact, most of the restaurants that hosted all kinds of banquets, the chefs usually took a break at three in the afternoon. This was also the reason why Yuan Zhou rushed over.
That was to say, the dishes that Yuan Zhou ate were definitely cooked by the chef himself and not by a sous-chef or an assistant chef. He could be sure of that.
In the end, Yuan Zhou ranked the three dishes he ate today. He felt that the Stewed Crab with Eggs was the first, the Stewed Crab with Eggs was the second, and the Stewed Crab with Chicken was the last. After all, the relationship between the two dishes was not easy to blend.
When Yuan Zhou left the restaurant, it was almost four o 'clock. After he walked for a while to digest the food, Yuan Zhou took a taxi and went back.
The Second Sports Meet of Yuan Restaurant was about to be held. Yuan Zhou was fairly busy. He only planned to eat in this restaurant and would go to the other restaurants he had selected next time.
Speaking of the Sports Meet, Yin Ya was naturally the most capable one. Since the first Sports Meet, for the sake of the Master Chef Restaurant's honor, she had exerted herself and never neglected sports training. Apart from going to the gym once a week to exercise under the supervision of a professional coach, she would also do some gymnastics such as yoga at home to maintain her flexibility.
Of course, Yin Ya's gym was the same as Yuan Zhou's. They were both Bold and Bold. In this way, the two of them had another fixed place to meet each other besides the restaurant. Both of them were very satisfied.
When Yuan Zhou returned to The Kitchen God, he found that Romeo was gone. Even the rice soup and noodles were not there.
Seeing Yuan Zhou coming over, the rice wagged its little tail vigorously. Of course, it was necessary to greet him.
"Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof."
"You mean that the three siblings went out to play?" Yuan Zhou quietly put some jerky into the rice's bowl.
The jerky was specially baked by him, which was suitable for rice and the dogs. Therefore, Yuan Zhou would feed some to them every one or two days.
Wuhai had always coveted the meat jerky specially made by Yuan Zhou. Unfortunately, he had only exchanged it from Broth once or twice. Other times, Broth wouldn't exchange it at all. What a miserable black beast. It's so hard.
"Wait, the three siblings went out to play? Is Romeo a female? " Yuan Zhou recalled Romeo's mighty and domineering appearance. Of course, it was normal for a male dog to look like that. But if it was a female dog, wasn't it too much?
"Woof, woof, woof, woof"
Probably because it was questioned by Yuan Zhou, the rice directly barked at Yuan Zhou several times. It sounded like it was defending itself excitedly.
"Don't get excited. Eat something quickly." Compared to the rice, Yuan Zhou was much calmer.
Although he was choked by Romeo's gender, it didn't belong to him, so he couldn't worry about it. However, Zong Mo's aesthetic sense was really amazing.
"It seems that it was right to not let Boss Zong display antiques in the restaurant." Yuan Zhou silently complained.
Zong Mo, who was playing ball with the three dogs, didn't know that someone had begun to doubt his noble aesthetic sense. He was still enjoying the game with the three dogs alone.
After eating a few jerky while looking at the rice, Yuan Zhou saw that it was getting late, so he planned to go upstairs to wash and change clothes.
"Dadada Ta"
On the way, Yuan Zhou paused as if he thought of something. He quickened his pace and went upstairs without washing up. He directly took a wooden carved box from the shelf and opened it. There were some vouchers inside, which were written with the words "Nutrition Set Meal" and so on.
"1, 2, 3, 4 … 14. There are really only 14 vouchers. I didn't remember it wrong. But didn't I give out 15 vouchers? Why is there one less? Did someone not use it?" Yuan Zhou felt that this might be a little unbelievable.
In the last Sports Meet, Yuan Zhou gave out a total of 15 vouchers for the Nutrition Set Meal. Most of them had been eaten and were waiting for the start of the second Sports Meet.
Because today, Yuan Zhou vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a voucher that hadn't been received. Although it wasn't the deadline yet, it wasn't far away.
In the beginning, for the sake of fairness, Yuan Zhou directly set the deadline for the voucher on the day before the next Sports Meet. It was also considered as publicity for the next Sports Meet.
