The Fried Rice Balls cooked by Yuan Zhou were different from ordinary ones. They weren't made into a long piece and then cut into two pieces, revealing the two sides of the chopped dough sticks. Instead, they were very similar to the original Fried Rice Balls.
The specially made dough sticks of about 15 centimeters long were rolled up in the whole glutinous rice roll, revealing the smooth and round end of the dough sticks, which looked even more appetizing.
When Zuo Zuo sniffed it lightly, she could even smell a lingering fragrance of lotus. The surface wasn't wrapped in plastic wrap, but the fragrance didn't disperse and was still emitting a little steam.
As it took no more than five minutes from the time it was cooked to the time it was carried to the customers, Zuo Zuo could still feel the slightly hot texture when she picked up the chopsticks and ate it.
The hard and chewy glutinous rice and the crispy dough sticks were mixed with a thin layer of pickled cabbage. The pickled cabbage, which was unique to the south of the Yangtze River, was placed between the dough sticks and the rice after it was stir-fried. It enhanced the original fragrance of the rice and also reduced the greasy feeling of the dough sticks.
The change of texture from hard to tenacious and then to crispy made people feel overwhelmed.
"The food served by Boss Yuan is so delicious. Not only is it delicious, it feels almost the same as what I ate when I was a child. I haven't eaten this taste for a long time." Zuo Zuo squinted her eyes, apparently quite intoxicated.
The Fried Rice Balls prepared by Yuan Zhou were exactly the same as when they first appeared. Basically, it was the most traditional cooking method, which was to add the dough sticks, pickled cabbage and glutinous rice. There was nothing extra.
As the times changed, the cooking methods of the Fried Rice Balls naturally changed as well. For example, ham, meat floss, and even fish meat were all innovative dishes. What Zuo Zuo liked was the crispness and tenacity of the Fried Rice Balls in the past. Now, she basically couldn't eat it anymore.
Of course, all these didn't exist in Yuan Zhou's restaurant. Although his cooking was slightly different from the tradition, it was absolutely better than the original.
"Of course. Boss Yuan has never made any mistakes. He's terrifyingly stable, as if he will never make any mistakes," said Wei Wei.
However, some things couldn't be said. As a matter of fact, a few days later, Yuan Zhou made a mistake in his culinary skills.
"It's a pity that I can't eat this rice ball tomorrow." Wei Wei was also very fond of this rice ball.
Normally, Yuan Zhou wouldn't cook the same food for two consecutive days. Although the customers liked the novelty, they would still feel reluctant if they couldn't eat their favorite food for a long time.
Of course, compared to those who couldn't eat breakfast, it was much better.
Zuo Zuo and Wei Wei weren't the only ones who highly praised the taste of the Fried Rice Balls. The other diners also enjoyed today's breakfast very much. Each person had two palm-sized Fried Rice Balls, and they ate to their hearts' content.
Yuan Zhou's resentment for taking a five-day leave was finally alleviated by the delicious food in his mouth. Once again, it proved that there was nothing that Yuan Zhou couldn't solve with a meal.
Soon, breakfast time was over.
The diners were satisfied with a delicious breakfast, but they didn't expect that Yuan Zhou had prepared other surprises. However, whether this surprise could be released at lunchtime depended on the delivery.
Before he went out, Yuan Zhou had almost finished practicing the ethnic cuisine booklet. Therefore, as long as he had those special cooking utensils, the existing dishes could basically be put on the menu.
Serving new dishes was definitely the best reward for the diners. Yuan Zhou was quite experienced in this regard.
Sometimes, not only people couldn't help but talk about it, but also things.
After breakfast, as he didn't need to practice cooking, he intended to practice his knife skills that he hadn't practiced for a long time. Although he had already reached the advanced level of the Miracle Knife Technique, he still needed to sculpt carefully. Therefore, he moved all the tools for practicing his knife skills outside the door.
Director Wang came at this time.
"Come, put it here gently. You must take it gently, understand?" Director Wang instructed the four strong men who followed him to carefully put the wooden box that was as tall as a person on the ground.
The wooden box was about one meter wide and almost as tall as Director Wang himself. Therefore, it was difficult for four people to carry it.
The four strong men were wearing the same uniform. At first glance, it was obvious that they were professionals. Yuan Zhou walked forward curiously. "Is it the porcelain?"
A few days ago, he had made a lot of black pottery with Master Ge and Master Ju. There were a lot of them, and it was difficult to carry them. Therefore, to save Yuan Zhou some trouble, Master Ge and the others sent them to him directly.
"Good morning, Boss Yuan. This is your express delivery. Come and see if it's damaged." Director Wang saw Yuan Zhou walking over and immediately greeted him.
"As expected," Yuan Zhou thought.
Then, he walked forward quickly. Before Yuan Zhou could do it himself, a big man with a dark face said, "Boss, do you want to open the box and check it?"
After Yuan Zhou nodded, the big man took the tools and carefully opened one side of the wooden box. Then, he slowly opened it, revealing the straw inside.
There was a thick layer of straw on top. For a moment, they couldn't see what was inside. After the straw was removed, there was a layer of white foam underneath. It was really protective.
When the big man removed the foam, the porcelain inside was revealed. They were all soup bowls, pots, and other utensils. They were all black pottery, so naturally, they were all black. However, the patterns on them were different. Even the black color was very attractive.
"This is so beautiful. Boss Yuan, did you make it yourself?" Director Wang said in surprise.
It wasn't that she thought that Yuan Zhou could really make it. However, when she saw such a thing, she would subconsciously ask whether Yuan Zhou could do it or not. Subconsciously, she always felt that Yuan Zhou from Taoxi Road could do everything!
"I learned it from a master. I'm not good at it. Please excuse me," said Yuan Zhou.
Not only Director Wang, but also the four strong men next to her felt a toothache. Such beautiful and exquisite utensils. If he said that they were not good at it, they were really sorry to disturb him.
"Boss Yuan, you are awesome." Director Wang squeezed out such a sentence after a long time.
That was because she really didn't know how to describe her slightly ball-aching mood at the moment. Of course, the premise was that she had balls.
"Boss, do we need to take them out for inspection?" The big man with a dark face was the first to come back to his senses and asked.
"No need. But I need you to help me move them into the house." Yuan Zhou felt that since the utensils on the first floor were all good, the utensils on the second floor must be good.
It was mainly because the utensils of Master Ge and the other two masters were really wrapped tightly. It was difficult to damage them.
"No trouble at all. Please lead the way, boss."
Then, the big men first opened the cover and covered the straw. After that, they carried the utensils and followed Yuan Zhou to the small courtyard at the back. He intended to dry these utensils here.
After they were done, Director Wang bid farewell to the big men. She was here to deliver the utensils to Yuan Zhou.
In the past, Director Wang would deliver the utensils by herself when the utensils were light. This time, it was mainly because the utensils were too big. That was why she brought the staff to Yuan Zhou to disturb him.
"Open them up now. They should be ready to be used at noon." Yuan Zhou laid out the black pottery utensils one by one.
He didn't place the utensils here to bask in the sun, but to let the wind blow away the smell. After the smell was blown away, he could guarantee the original taste of the ingredients to the greatest extent and not be contaminated by other smells. This was the most important thing.
