Maybe Yuan Zhou didn't even remember it himself, but Yin Ya and him could be considered to have developed further from Melt-In-The-Mouth Claw. Thinking back to the time when she saw that the female could only order half a serving of Melt-In-The-Mouth Claw and wanted to argue with Yuan Zhou, she would smile knowingly.
Even though a long time had passed, the memory was still very fresh. Yin Ya would basically eat this dish every once in a while, both to remember and to reminisce.
"Alright, please wait a moment, Sister Xiaoya." Su Ruoyan's pen flew and she quickly finished writing her menu.
Because it was near the partition, Yuan Zhou could basically feel the ordering situation here. Hence, in order not to lag behind, Su Ruoyan would usually write down a person's menu and directly pass it to the kitchen to put it at a specific location, and Yuan Zhou would go and get it himself.
This time was no exception. After writing down Yin Ya's menu, she directly passed it in.
After ordering, Yin Ya planned to look at the menu. She wanted to know more about The Kitchen God so that she could help Yuan Zhou when he needed it.
"Xiaoya, are we friends?" Jin Min suddenly leaned to the side and approached Yin Ya, trying to act cute.
"Of course. What's wrong?" Yin Ya put down the menu in her hands, a little confused.
"Then you have to tell me what the most delicious dish in the restaurant is?" Jin Min revealed a sly smile.
She just asked Su Ruoyan to order other customers, so she needed to hurry and ask.
Jin Min felt that as Yuan Zhou's girlfriend, even if she did not have any inside information, she should know her boyfriend very well.
But Yin Ya's fair and tender face revealed a troubled expression, as if she could not say it.
"Why can't you say it?" Jin Min was a little curious. Could there be some secret behind it?
Yin Ya shook her head and said, "It's not that it's difficult, but it's very troublesome because he's good at eight cuisines. No matter which cuisine he's good at, he's good at it. I'm a little confused when you suddenly mentioned it. I don't know which dish is good."
Towards the end, Yin Ya's words carried a hint of pride.
"Eight cuisines … Although I know Head Chef Yuan is amazing, I didn't expect him to be so crazy. Do you have any dishes from my hometown?" asked Jin Min.
If it was someone else who said that he knew eight cuisines, Jin Min would definitely not believe it. However, it was Yuan Zhou who said it, so it was a different story.
The thick menu on the table was also proof.
"That's really a coincidence. Hunan Cuisine has just been served for a few days. You can try the taste," Yin Ya said.
That's right. Jin Min was a genuine Hunan girl. She grew up eating Hunan cuisine. Fortunately, Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine had something in common. Otherwise, she would be sad.
"Is that so? That's great. Then I want to eat Red Braised Pork, Grandma's Dish and Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers," Jin Min said excitedly.
"These dishes are definitely available. You can order them later." Yin Ya nodded and said.
"Then do you have Cantonese cuisine?" Director Wang asked.
He was from Guangdong Province and was used to drinking morning tea and afternoon tea. Therefore, he had a preference for dim sum. This was also the reason why he was attracted to Yuan Zhou's Mulberry Leaf Buns. First, it was really delicious. Second, it was because Director Wang really liked it.
As the saying went, 'Love is hard to buy.'
"Yes. You can eat anything you want in Cantonese cuisine," said Yin Ya.
"I didn't come for nothing," Director Wang muttered.
As for the remaining few people, some were locals of Chengdu and some were from other provinces. Most of them happened to be from several provinces where Yuan Zhou's cuisines were served. Therefore, they all found their favorite dishes and began to order when Su Ruoyan arrived.
The only one who suffered the most was the strong guy from Xia City. Although he was not as strong as Cowardly Strong, he still had some muscles. As a native of Min Province, he was very conflicted.
"Is our Min cuisine so lacking?" The strong guy sighed. "Meat rice and fish lips, Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, and braised noodles are all very delicious."
"We don't have Min cuisine at the moment, but Boss Yuan is still researching other cuisines, so it should be soon." Su Ruoyan was now very familiar with the process.
Although Yuan Zhou did not answer, he had heard it. There were many versions of the eight major cuisines, but the major cuisines that were not available at the moment were Zhejiang cuisine, Min cuisine, and Anhui cuisine.
There was also Chu cuisine and Beijing cuisine. Yuan Zhou muttered in his heart. He was looking forward to the day he mastered all ten major cuisines.
The one who stood out the most was Director Wang. He only ordered the Golden Inlaid Pork, which he specified to be a Hakka dish. The rest of the dishes were all dim sum items, such as shrimp dumplings, fruit noodles, and rice noodle rolls.
His preferences were different from ordinary people. Director Wang had always been like this. He had no appetite for a proper meal, but he still wanted to eat dim sum after he was full.
Among the people present, Director Wang held the highest position in the company. Therefore, although everyone was muttering in their hearts, they still appeared to be amiable on the surface. Even if they wanted to snatch the dishes, they still had to look at the occasion, right?
The speed at which the dishes were served had always been very fast. Very soon, the dishes were served one after another. First, it was Yin Ya's dishes, which were mainly bland, followed by Jin Min's Mao's Braised Pork with Soy Sauce.
As it was made with thick oil and red sauce, a strong fragrance had already swept through the whole place before it even reached the table.
"It smells so good." Jin Min's eyes were instantly as bright as 800 watt light bulbs.
When the dishes were placed in front of them, they were immediately attracted by the gorgeous color. Be it Jin Min, Yin Ya at the side, or Director Wang at the other side, their eyes all involuntarily drifted over. One could imagine how fragrant it was.
The Mao's Braised Pork with Soy Sauce wasn't cooked with soy sauce. Instead, the color was directly mixed with sugar and cooking wine. Therefore, the color was golden and bright, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Apart from being placed neatly on the plate as if they were queuing up, some green garlic leaves were sprinkled on the top of the dish.
The fragrance of the garlic leaves was stimulated after being steamed by the hot air. A faint spiciness mixed with the strong fragrance of the meat played the role of the finishing touch.
The streaky pork selected by Yuan Zhou was naturally of the best variety, which was more to Jin Min's taste. He chose the pork that was 30% fat and 70% lean. The three layers were distinct and with the addition of the bright color embellishment, Jin Min couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat a piece of meat.
The chopsticks were hard. As soon as they touched the meat, the meat immediately reacted and caved in, which showed how soft and tender the meat was.
After opening her mouth wide and putting the whole piece of Braised Pork into her mouth, Jin Min began to chew slowly. She had always eaten the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce one piece at a time like this. In her words, only by eating it this way could one feel the feeling.
The Braised Pork with Soy Sauce was to let people experience the feeling of eating a big piece of meat.
Although it was a ratio of one layer of fat and one layer of lean meat, the skin was soft and glutinous, and the fat melted in her mouth as soon as she bit into it. Plus the lean meat that melted into dregs, the sweetness was just right. Because of the addition of some chili, there was a hidden spiciness. The taste was layered and complicated. Jin Min squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
"So today is the first time I've tasted the authentic Red Braised Pork. No wonder it's so popular. It's really delicious, and it's not greasy at all. I think I can eat two more plates," Jin Min said with a smile.
