Yuan Zhou prepared the breakfast meticulously for Yin Ya. He wasn't perfunctory to the customers either. He prepared the breakfast quite attentively. Today's day was quite special. The National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival collided together. It was a rare occasion for decades. Naturally, special treatment was needed.
Therefore, the breakfast he prepared was a classic. The customers didn't even have the time to speak before their attention was attracted by the breakfast. It was understandable that they could only bury their heads in the food.
However, this phenomenon attracted Hou Liang's attention. He didn't know what was going on today. Not only was there a total of 100 servings of breakfast, even the usually noisy breakfast scene had become completely silent. The customers wanted nothing more than to stuff everything into their mouths. Even swallowing their saliva was a waste of time.
"Is Head Chef Yuan making a Manchu Han Imperial Feast today?" Hou Liang's heart started racing.
When he entered the restaurant, he finally understood why the customers were acting so strangely today. The breakfast that was served was simply magnificent and ingenious. If it wasn't for the pleasant aroma, he really wouldn't be willing to eat it. It was really too beautiful.
Chang 'e floated in the air like a fairy. Chang' e was wearing a colorful, wide-sleeved dress, and her clothes fluttered in the wind. She was like a fairy. Not to mention, the moon that seemed to have a distinct texture and was faintly glowing satisfied people's wishes for a happy reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"This is too beautiful and fragrant," Hou Liang swallowed his saliva and brought his nose closer to take a sniff.
At this moment, when his eyes got closer, he realized that the fairy and the moon were actually made up of small and exquisite round cakes of various colors and textures. Due to the chef's ingenuity, he wouldn't be able to tell if he didn't look carefully.
"Is this a mooncake? I've heard of a type of extremely small, mini mooncake. Is this what it is?" Hou Liang's eyes lit up.
He felt that every time he saw Yuan Zhou, his understanding of Yuan Zhou would be refreshed. Just based on his craftsmanship alone, he couldn't praise Yuan Zhou enough.
The excited Hou Liang naturally ignored the slightly viscous milky white steaming soup next to him. It was a big bowl. It looked like soybean milk, but at a glance, he knew it wasn't.
Hou Liang's attention was completely focused on the mini mooncake. He didn't even notice the bowl of soup that was served together with it.
The mini mooncakes were simply too eye-catching.
After admiring it for a while, he suddenly remembered that there were still a lot of people waiting in line for breakfast. He didn't dare to delay, so he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a mooncake that was shaped like a moon and put it into his mouth.
Although the mooncake was similar to an ice skin, it wasn't ice-cold. Instead, it was at room temperature. As soon as it came into contact with the warm saliva in the mouth, the pink and waxy surface immediately began to melt, revealing the filling inside. Unexpectedly, the filling inside was still a little warm. It was apple filling. The sweet and juicy fruit filling had a hint of sourness unique to apples, making the filling that was supposed to be a little greasy with a hint of freshness and smoothness.
"Delicious," Hou Liang praised.
He used his left hand to write down some content that only he could understand in the notebook next to his hand. He wrote it down with his left hand.
In the Master Chef Little Store, even a saint might not be able to put down his right hand to write. Hou Liang naturally couldn't do it. Therefore, in order to ensure that he could record some insights and data while enjoying the delicacies, bind them into a book, and keep his position in the store, Hou Liang had to give it his all.
After painstaking practice, Hou Liang finally mastered the high-end skill of writing with his left hand. Of course, it was different from Mr. Jin's unique skill of drawing circles with his left hand and squares with his right hand. What he mastered was to record his feelings and data at that time through some special numbers and simple words he designed himself.
In the end, he managed to obtain the data at that time, which was something like a password. In order to better enjoy the delicacies, Hou Liang also put in a lot of effort.
After finishing the apple filling mooncake with both hands, he picked up the one beside him. Unexpectedly, he found that it was a raspberry-flavored one. Compared to apples, the raspberry-flavored one was more sour. However, the sweetness was also purer. The taste was completely different.
As he ate one mooncake after another, Hou Liang found that there were no two similar fillings. Instead, there were all sorts of fruit fillings. Through Yuan Zhou's special treatment, the sweetness and sourness of the fruits were preserved without the cloying feeling of ordinary fillings. It was simply a refreshing feeling in the world of mooncakes.
"If Head Chef Yuan keeps selling mooncakes in the future, we can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival every day," Hou Liang said. He did not even bother asking if Head Chef Yuan would agree to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After finishing the moon, Hou Liang turned his attention to Chang 'e. Her colorful dress was made from mooncakes of various colors. First, he picked a red mooncake and placed it in his mouth. The moment he bit into it, a strong dragonfruit flavor spread out. Only then did he realize that the mooncake's crust was dyed with dragonfruit juice.
While the crust was dyed with fruit juice, the filling inside revealed a rich taste unique to sea cucumbers.
The crust was made from the soft sea cucumber and the sweet dragonfruit juice. The moment he bit into it, the boiling hot juice flowed out of his mouth. The rich and mellow taste filled his mouth. The taste of the sea and the taste of the land were perfectly combined, bringing out the best in each other. It was a very splendid sight.
"It's actually a sea cucumber. I have never eaten a mooncake like this before. How did Boss Yuan do it? How did they combine the two?" Hou Liang's mind was filled with question marks.
Of course, he did not really want to know why. Yuan Zhou was not a person with a hundred thousand whys. There was nothing to know. However, when such delicious food entered one's mouth, one's first reaction would be to wonder how a person could make such a delicious mooncake. This was only human nature.
Moreover, the red mooncake that Hou Liang picked up was hot. Although the surface was warm, the inside was slightly hot, which matched the taste of the sea cucumber. Unable to resist, he grabbed a mooncake of the same color and wolfed it down. Soon, his clothes were in a mess.
After finishing the red mooncake, Hou Liang fixed his eyes on the green mooncake. Judging from the color of the surface, he guessed that it was very likely that it was dyed with spinach juice. After all, this was a common practice in cooking. However, the moment he put it into his mouth, he knew that he was thinking too much. How could Yuan Zhou follow the rules?
The slightly sour taste of the kiwi spread out in his mouth, accompanied by the fresh and sweet taste of the prawn meat. The sour skin made the sweet taste of the prawn meat even more obvious, making it irresistible. At least, Hou Liang could not refuse such a feast for the taste buds.
Sometimes, he did not even have time to record the taste with his left hand. After all, only by working with his left hand could he eat more food. It would be a waste of life if he did not eat such delicious food as soon as possible.
"When the originally tasteless shark fin blends with the sweetness of the mulberries, the bland taste immediately becomes sweet and colorful. Coupled with the sweetness of the crab meat and the juicy peaches, it's truly an enjoyable combination." Hou Liang wished he had eight hands so that he could hold a mooncake of a different color in each hand.
