As soon as he put it in his mouth, the first thing he smelled was the fragrance of roses. There was also a faint smell of wine. This should be because it had been marinated with rose dew wine. This was the smell that floated on the surface.
Since it was tightly bound, she had to bite it with her teeth to taste it. With a crack, the crisp duck intestine broke apart, revealing the contents inside. The pork was firm and the salted egg yolk had a mellow fragrance. Even if she bit into the fat, she wouldn't feel greasy. Instead, there was a sweet fragrance, a unique flavor.
It was a completely different feeling from ordinary sausages. It was a fresh experience. Zuo Zuo squinted her eyes and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
"It's delicious. I think it's better than all the dishes I've eaten before. In the past, I didn't like dishes made with offal as I thought it would have a bad taste. But now, I realize that offal can taste so good as well." Zuo Zuo picked up another piece with her chopsticks and placed it in her mouth.
The moment she bit, the indescribable deliciousness spread in her mouth, making her unable to stop.
"This is only Head Chef Yuan's dish, right? You should try the others first," Wei Wei added.
Wei Wei was a step too slow as she spoke. When she regained her senses, she naturally did not want to be outdone. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating. The layers were distinct, and each layer had a different flavor. When they were mixed together, the complex and varied flavors were truly amazing.
Even though Wei Wei and Zuo Zuo were young girls, they ate as fast as others. Naturally, no matter how many dishes there were, they wouldn't be able to last long. Moreover, the portion wasn't much.
"Let's eat a little more," Zuo Zuo said after looking at the clean plate.
Normally, three dishes was the amount she usually ate, and that was when she was very hungry after training. She had already eaten three dishes today, yet she still felt like she wasn't full.
Sure enough, the stomach was like the chest. Squeezing it a little would always produce something.
"Of course. I always feel that Boss Yuan doesn't have enough money or that his stomach is too small. Of course, Uncle Wu is an exception," Wei Wei said.
"Uncle Wu?" Zuo Zuo was curious.
"That's right. Uncle Wu has a black hole constitution. He basically orders everything in one go. If he wants more, it means he's in a good mood that day," Wei Wei explained logically.
Zuo Zuo was confused. This didn't sound like much, but why did Wei Wei speak of it with a look of admiration?
Wei Wei looked around and found that Wu Hai and Mao Xiong had already left. She said, "Next time, let's come earlier. I'll show you Uncle Wu's strength, and then you'll know."
Only by seeing it with their own eyes could they believe the existence of such a beast in the world.
Zuo Zuo nodded and turned her attention back to the dishes she wanted to eat. Not long after, the two of them began to eat the second round. Of course, to be on the safe side, the two of them only added one dish each. Wei Wei had said that she would be blacklisted if she couldn't finish it, so Zuo Zuo was extra cautious.
"This rule can help many people who are used to wasting to change their habits and save a lot of food." Zuo Zuo secretly praised this rule in her heart.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't know that there was someone like him who thought the same way.
"Zuo Zuo, do you want to tell me your book review in a low voice?" Wei Wei suddenly asked.
"Uh —" Zuo Zuo was stunned and said, "I didn't stop talking, and I'm not used to sitting."
Stop talking was the name of the storyteller, Waking Wood. If it was used by officials, Waking Wood would be called Shocking Wood.
"Just think of it as practicing your lines in a low voice. Tell me," Wei Wei encouraged, "Hurry up."
"That … I …" Zuo Zuo tried, but in the end, she didn't say it.
"Ding Ling Kuang Lang"
Dinner time continued. Yuan Zhou diligently cooked in the kitchen. It was as if he had practiced flying thunder god. If he didn't pay attention, people would believe him if he said there were three people in the kitchen.
Soon, dinner ended at the scheduled time. After sending off the customers and Su Ruoyan, Yuan Zhou returned to the second floor. He didn't wash up immediately, but directly spoke in his heart.
"System, do I have a reward that I haven't received?" Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that the fifth anniversary was just around the corner, but he felt that there was something he hadn't done.
Only after he saw Wu Hai did he realize that. Yes, Wu Hai was about to leave and the new dishes had to be served, but he didn't seem to have received the reward.
"Yes, Lord Host. The reward for the Reputation Mission hasn't been received," the system displayed.
When he completed the mission in France, Yuan Zhou had wanted to receive the reward. He had been looking forward to the Qin Cuisine for a long time, but he didn't have the conditions to practice at that time. If he received the reward, he would definitely be itching to practice. Therefore, he put the reward on hold.
After he returned to China, in order to repay the customers, he directly served the new Hunan Cuisine. He had been busy developing the second collection-level knife skill and only remembered it now.
"I'll receive the reward later." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and decided to take a bath first. He would think about it after he finished preparing the food in the pub.
After Yuan Zhou handed the sobering set to Mao Ye, he went back to the second floor and said, "Receive the reward."
Then, all kinds of knowledge sparkled like stars in his mind, just like a slow-motion playback. Not only the various knowledge, but also the experiences and summaries of various famous chefs and grandmaster-level people were absorbed and integrated by Yuan Zhou one by one and gradually turned into his own.
"As expected, as the ancient capital of the 13 dynasties, it's not only because of its geographical advantage but also because of the food," Yuan Zhou thought inwardly.
Actually, the Qin Cuisine was similar to Huaiyang Cuisine and Shandong Cuisine. It could be said that the Qin Cuisine combined the strong points of several cuisines. Of course, it didn't refer to the taste, but the Qin Cuisine paid particular attention to the extreme knife skill, which was exactly the same as Huaiyang Cuisine. It also paid particular attention to the skill of controlling the heat and tossing the ladle, which echoed the essence of Shandong Cuisine.
"Many dishes belong to the palace cuisine and the temple cuisine is also unique. However, the street food included in the Qin Cuisine is really refreshing," Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion.
This was the first time that Yuan Zhou had seen the street food be classified as a regional cuisine. The so-called street food referred to the dishes in the famous restaurants and restaurants in the center of the important towns. In order to attract customers, the competition was fierce and each had its own merits.
"Since I have nothing to do today, I'll cook two dishes to familiarize myself with them." Yuan Zhou made up his mind and walked downstairs.
Since he was interested in the street food, naturally, what Yuan Zhou wanted to cook was the dishes of this regional cuisine. Among the street food, the most famous and widely spread was definitely the Four Blessings of the Ming Dynasty.
"Sweet dew after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land. On the night of our wedding night, it's time to pass the exam."
Everyone was familiar with the Four Blessings of Life. The Four Blessings of the Ming Dynasty were based on these four sentences.
However, just the preparation of the special chicken broth would take a long time and he wouldn't be able to eat supper in the evening. Therefore, after Yuan Zhou boiled the chicken broth, he began to prepare one of the representative dishes of the Three Qin Dynasties, the Simmered Shredded Squid.
Although the name seemed simple, the process was complicated and varied. The simmering time was also long. It was more or less the same as his and Yin Ya's supper.
"System, please provide me with the squid that has just been released," Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
Although he had already checked that the system provided dried squid, it would take at least two hours to soak. By then, the squid would be cold. Therefore, for his first test, Yuan Zhou planned to use the squid that had been soaked by the system. It was just nice for him to compare.
"It has been released," the system said concisely.
After finding the squid that had been soaked until it was big and soft, Yuan Zhou directly started to cook.
Although it was his first time, Yuan Zhou's actions weren't rusty. Instead, he revealed a sense of calmness.
