Actually, this new thing didn't need special attention. It was just an ordinary big vat. If one had to say what was special about it, it would probably be the beautiful pattern.
In order to be consistent with the shop flower in the restaurant, the white lotus on it was particularly vivid, as if adding a touch of color to the kitchen.
The white lotus vat was not big, with a diameter of half a meter and a height of about one meter. The traditional barbecued Dongting mandarin fish couldn't be separated from this vat. At this time, the vat had been prepared with charcoal fire.
The mandarin fish used by Yuan Zhou was also mandarin fish, which was a wild species in Dongting Lake with tender texture and rich nutrition. Of course, it couldn't be transported from other places. The system rented a fish pond at the place with the best water quality in Dongting Lake.
One ought to know that Dongting Lake was originally a tourist attraction. The breeding area wasn't big at all. And the best area belonged to Yuan Zhou.
Therefore, don't talk about money to Yuan Zhou. The main point was that he had a lot of industries.
Back to the point, Yuan Zhou didn't care what the mandarin fish usually ate. Because he just saw that this fish was obviously different from ordinary mandarin fish, he knew it must be unusual.
But the system still seized the time to show off. Even if Yuan Zhou didn't ask, the system would still show off.
"This turtle fish is called Blue Turtle. It got its name because there is a indistinct blue stripe on its abdomen under the sun. It is the king of the turtle fish. Its meat is sweet and tender, rich in nutrition. Because of the harsh growth conditions, it is rare and belongs to a rare species. The system uses the ancient Blue Turtle as the first generation. In order to maintain its activity all year round, the water temperature is controlled at 24 degrees Celsius all year round. The blue turtle fish is fed in a special terrain …"
"…" Yuan Zhou said in his heart, "Although it can be popularized, it's not necessary."
"Speaking of which, after you help me become the Master Chef, will you leave?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought that the system was so talkative now. Was it because it knew it was leaving and wanted to say a few more words?
Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou was really reluctant to leave. He thought in his heart, "If so, should I slow down?"
"No." The system displayed.
Hearing that, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief and continued cooking.
Swish! Swish!
Picking up the knife to process the fish was very clean and neat. Very soon, the fish was processed, the seasonings were added, the egg paste was hung, the lard net was wrapped, the fish was clamped with a pair of tongs, and then the fish was placed in the charcoal fire to roast.
Swish swish swish!
Soon, the oil began to drip out of the pig net oil as soon as it came into contact with the high-temperature charcoal fire. Gradually, the color of white jade turned into a burnt yellow. As for the fish inside, there was no other difference for the time being.
While cooking the fish, Yuan Zhou did not stay idle. Instead, he continued to cook other dishes. It would not be surprising to say that he had eight hands. He was so fast that afterimages could be seen. Many people said that there were three levels of hand speed.
Single for ten years — Single for half his life — Yuan Zhou!
As for the situation of being single for the rest of his life, when things reached an extreme, he would lose his hand speed.
Time ticked by. Meng Guangping and the other three had ordered two dishes, one after another. Now, there was nothing else on the table except for the empty plates. Even the crystal clear rice had been finished.
Speaking of which, it was also a happy thing. Meng Guangping and the other two had eaten the dishes too fast and completely ignored the existence of the rice. Therefore, they were dumbfounded when they saw the fragrant rice was still there after they finished the dishes.
As Yuan Zhou's cooking skills were superb, there was no vegetable soup left at all, only rice. Then, the three masters experienced the treatment of eating plain white rice.
Of course, the plain white rice of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine was also pretty good. Even without the vegetables, it was not a problem for them to eat two bowls of it. It was soft, fragrant, sweet, and not too tough. Instead, it was moderate in hardness and had a strong fragrance of rice. That was why many people brought their own pickled vegetables to eat plain white rice.
"Are you full?" Du Yundong knitted his brows and touched his belly, feeling that he was not full yet.
Meng Guangping and Ding Yang must have eaten a lot of the dishes secretly. That was what Du Yundong thought.
At first, he really didn't find that Meng Guangping and Ding Yang were eating his dishes. He had always thought that he had taken advantage of them and was very complacent.
When the Dongting mandarin fish with barbecued pork was served, Du Yundong knew that there was only one fish in total, and it weighed about one and a half kilograms. The whole fish was on the plate, so it was difficult to eat it without being discovered.
Of course, Meng Guangping and Ding Yang didn't have any reaction and just kept eating.
"No. I feel the portion is a little small. I can eat another dish," Meng Guangping estimated his appetite and said.
It was not that he was still hungry, but that his mouth was still greedy. His stomach could only hold one more dish at most. Therefore, he could only eat one more dish and felt regretful in his heart.
"I also need one more dish to be full," Ding Yang echoed.
Little Yu also indicated with a trembling voice that he was not full and probably needed another dish.
"How can one dish be enough for a big guy like you? Why don't you order two more dishes? I'll treat you to a full meal," Meng Guangping looked at Little Yu thoughtfully and said.
He was thinking that even if he couldn't finish the whole dish, Little Yu could taste it after he ordered it. In this way, he could eat more dishes without worrying about being blacklisted. It was perfect.
Little Yu was very moved and felt that Chairman Meng was really a good leader.
This time, Little Yu ordered three dishes and Meng Guangping and the others each ordered one dish. They also ordered some home-cooked dishes and some kungfu dishes, such as Zuan Tofu, Farmer's Stir-fried Pork, Dong 'an Chicken and so on.
The new dishes were served very quickly. It didn't take long for them to eat until their stomachs were full. After confirming that they couldn't eat anymore, the four of them walked out of the restaurant.
The main purpose of this trip was to find Yuan Zhou for something. Meng Guangping and his companions didn't leave. Instead, they just stood under the eaves outside the door, waiting for the business time to end.
On the first night, there were a lot of people. Even though Yuan Zhou was fast enough, he couldn't satisfy the mouths of so many foodies.
When Meng Guangping and the others stood outside the door and waited, they truly witnessed the meaning of a lot of people. It wasn't exaggerating at all to say that the restaurant was packed with people.
However, no matter how many people there were, the opening hours were only two hours. Soon, the opening hours came to an end.
"Dinner time is over. Please come earlier tomorrow for breakfast." Yuan Zhou stood at the door and saw all the customers off.
Immediately, he saw the figures of Meng Guangping and the others. At that time, it was already dark. Though it wasn't completely dark, it was still dusky. The lanterns on Taoxi Road were all lit, so they could be seen clearly.
Since there was no one cooking, Yuan Zhou was naturally focused. He recognized Meng Guangping and the others after a few more glances.
Before Yuan Zhou went up to greet them, Meng Guangping and the others hurriedly went up when they saw Yuan Zhou was alone.
"Hello, Head Chef Yuan. I'm Meng Guangping, the chairman of Hunan Cuisine. It's a pleasure to meet you, Head Chef Yuan," Meng Guangping extended his hands and said politely.
Firstly, he had to be polite since he was asking for help. Secondly, Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were worthy of his respect.
