Every taste brought Hou Liang a brand new experience. The mooncakes he used to eat were all stuffed with winter melon.
Today was the first time he found out that mooncakes could be eaten in this way. Hot, fresh, delicious, meaty, delicious. It was an understatement to describe it.
Five kernels, red bean paste, lotus paste, egg yolk, and ham were all old varieties.
With the advancement of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for mooncakes were getting higher and higher. There were many new varieties of mooncakes. For example, there were many kinds of mooncakes with ice skin and fruits.
Of course, compared to Yuan Zhou's today's preparation, it was extremely weak.
"So the eight types of seafood can be used to make mooncakes. Is there anything special about the stuffing? Are there any other seafood stuffing? What's the success rate?" Hou Liang's thoughts turned to data. His way of thinking was different from ordinary people. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to think about these aspects.
Actually, because of the size of the mooncakes, there seemed to be a lot of mooncakes on the plate. However, one couldn't help but eat more. After a while, it was announced that there were no more mooncakes left.
"This is very Boss Yuan's style. The portion is as small as always," Hou Liang said.
After finishing the mooncake, Hou Liang noticed a big bowl of steaming white soup beside him. He sniffed it and said, "Is it soybean milk?"
It didn't look like it, nor did it smell like a bean. The main reason was that Hou Liang had eaten the soybean milk and Youtiao made by Yuan Zhou before. The snow-white and exquisite soybean milk was completely different from the slightly sticky white liquid now.
Just as Hou Liang was thinking about what it was, Su Ruoyan came. This was the first time she came to disturb the customers before they finished their meal. It was because she was serving the dishes.
"Hello, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the boss. I hope you like it." Su Ruoyan placed a palm-sized plate in front of Hou Liang.
There was a mooncake lying quietly in the plate. It was only the size of an egg but one could tell it was a mooncake at first glance. It had the same yellow and glossy color as an ordinary mooncake. It also had a familiar pattern.
"Mooncake?" Hou Liang was puzzled.
Didn't they just finish eating mooncakes? Of course, it was still a happy thing to be able to eat one more mooncake, even if it looked ordinary.
"That's right. It's a rare double festival today. The boss has given each customer a gift to celebrate together." Su Ruoyan repeated what she had said dozens of times today.
This was what Yuan Zhou had told Su Ruoyan before the opening hours. Of course, she had also received a small gift box in advance. It was not a big box, about the size of an A4 paper. Even though she had not opened it, she knew that it must be filled with mooncakes. Just thinking about it made her excited.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." Hou Liang said to Yuan Zhou who was standing in the kitchen.
Yuan Zhou, who was in the kitchen, raised his head and gestured to Hou Liang to continue his work. Not only would the customers who came for breakfast get gifts, but also the customers who came for lunch, dinner, and the pub would also get gifts. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was very busy.
Previously, he had prepared just enough for the customers who came for breakfast. Now, he was busy for the customers who came for lunch. He had made the stuffing while he was cooking the noodles last night. However, there was still a lot of work that had to be done in the morning. Therefore, Yuan Zhou appeared to be very busy.
After expressing his gratitude, Hou Liang began to study the soup according to his previous pace. The best way to study was naturally to drink a mouthful of it.
As soon as the thick juice entered his mouth, a unique sour taste spread on the tip of his tongue. Hou Liang instantly realized what it was.
"So it's rice milk. It's really delicious." Hou Liang licked his lips and drank a big bowl of rice milk in one gulp.
Originally, Yuan Zhou had prepared the rice milk for the customers who came for breakfast. After all, even if Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship was superb and the mooncakes were cooked appropriately, it was still very refreshing to drink some sour rice milk.
There were quite a few people like Hou Liang who wanted to drink it after breakfast. Therefore, his action didn't seem abrupt.
After drinking the rice milk, he finally had a chance to see the gift from Yuan Zhou. Honestly speaking, it was the first time that Yuan Zhou gave a gift like this since he had been eating at The Kitchen God's restaurant for such a long time. The last time was when he gave out candies, and he also caught the candies himself.
That made him even more excited. Of course, Hou Liang didn't know that this was a gift that Yuan Zhou gave to the customers to celebrate his engagement with Yin Ya.
If he took it out to celebrate alone, it would seem that he was too high-profile. Yuan Zhou, who was used to keeping a low profile, said that he could also celebrate in a low-key manner. It was completely in line with his principles.
He didn't know how such a way was low-key.
"Chi"
Hou Liang broke open the small mooncake. Its surface area was almost twice the size of the mini mooncake just now. Therefore, it couldn't be said to be mini. It could only be said to be small and could be broken open by hand.
The stuffing inside was revealed. This time, it was a very traditional ham mooncake. The sparkling and translucent ham pieces were wrapped around the soft stuffing, which looked very appetizing.
After putting it into his mouth, the crispy and fragrant outer skin, the slightly sweet ham stuffing, and the plump meat made him feel as if he was eating the entire ham. With the sweet taste as a primer, the fragrance of the ham was stimulated. Together with the crispy and fragrant outer skin, it was simply perfect.
"Today is really a feast of mooncakes. I've learned something new." Hou Liang rubbed his belly. Although he still felt that he could eat, he was satisfied.
If he still wasn't satisfied with the gift from Yuan Zhou, he would be struck by lightning.
Since he had an appointment with someone later, Hou Liang didn't dare to stay any longer after he finished his breakfast. He quickly gave up his seat and went to the usual place.
Of course, before he went, Hou Liang still stopped at the side of Li Li's Western Restaurant not far away as usual. He took a look at himself with the help of the place that was so clean that it seemed to have no glass. He found that his clothes were neat and his face was handsome. Perfect!
After he smoothed out the wrinkles on his elbow that were probably caused by his large movements during the meal, Hou Liang confirmed that his image was very good. Then, he started to stroll towards the Leisure Bar.
After Hou Liang left, the breakfast continued. Of course, it didn't take long before it was about to end.
Today, almost everyone went out with a smile on their face. There was no helping it. A sugar-coated bullet would always be powerful no matter where it was. Moreover, this was Yuan Zhou's sugar-coated bullet. Its power could only be greater and could even be compared to an atomic bomb.
At least, no one complained that the portion today was too little during breakfast. One had to admit that this could be considered as an improvement.
"Thank you, boss. Happy holiday, boss." Before Su Ruoyan left, she carried her small gift box and bowed to Yuan Zhou to express her gratitude. Then, she ran away with a 'deng deng deng' sound.
Yuan Zhou watched her figure disappear at the corner of the street and then returned to his restaurant to continue his work. Since he wanted to share his joy, he naturally had to pay some price. For example, Yuan Zhou was busier than usual. When Yin Ya left just now, he didn't even talk to her.
Yin Ya was working overtime today. Otherwise, Yuan Zhou wouldn't have asked Yin Ya to sleep directly last night. Therefore, he was the only one who was busy in the restaurant at this time.
