The reaction of the two people was quite straightforward. They were dumbfounded, just like how Yuan Zhou reacted when he saw the dish.
What the hell is this?
"Young master, is this the set meal?" The grandpa looked left and right. Wasn't it just noodle soup and garlic? Besides, there were only two garlic cloves in the dish, the kind that hadn't even been peeled.
"Boss Yuan, even if it's the rare red garlic, it's still garlic." Wu Hai looked at the so-called set meal in front of him speechlessly. Only two cloves of garlic and a bowl of noodle soup cost 40 RMB more.
Isn't it a little too much?
"Um. Let's have a try." Yuan Zhou didn't say much and said straightforwardly.
"Young master, if the garlic is marinated, I can still taste it. But for the raw garlic..." The grandpa didn't finish his words, but it was clear that he couldn't accept the raw garlic.
"I can eat spicy food, but I don't eat raw garlic." Wu Hai also pushed the plate of garlic away subconsciously. What a joke! How could he flirt with girls if he ate it? Would there be a strong garlic smell once he opened his mouth? He would have to make some girls faint.
"This is the Rouge Garlic. It won't have any taste after eating it. You'll understand after you try it." Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
After all, the system had given him an answer.
The system displayed, "The red garlic provided by the system doesn't have any peculiar smell after eating it."
"Garlic is a semi-annual herbaceous plant, belonging to the genus Allium of the lily family. Its bulbs are used as medicine. The system has specially improved the garlic to remove the peculiar smell after eating it and developed the exclusive Rouge Garlic that can freshen one's breath."
"The unique substances in purple garlic and white garlic are added to the Rouge Garlic to form a new variety, which enhances the allicin and allicase in the garlic. The allicin formed in this way has a stronger bactericidal effect and is more destructive to the cystine in bacteria, thereby achieving the best health care effect."
"These substances all exist in the raw garlic. They will be greatly damaged or even lose their effect when exposed to heat."
"Well, I don't like to eat raw garlic." The grandpa still insisted on his idea.
As for Wu Hai, he considered for a while and then said, "Ok. I'll eat the garlic first and then the noodles."
In that case, the taste would be covered by the deliciousness of the noodles.
"Boss Yuan, shouldn't you have at least peeled the garlic and served it?" Wuhai picked up the garlic and complained while peeling it.
"If you do it yourself, you'll be well fed." Yuan Zhou crossed his arms and looked at Wuhai.
"Cough cough. Boss Yuan's Chinese is pretty good," Wuhai said dryly.
"Thank you for the compliment. I think so too." Yuan Zhou accepted Wuhai's compliment without hesitation.
This time, Wu Hai didn't know what to say. Luckily, he had finished sowing the garlic in his hand. The Rouge Garlic had a very attractive appearance. When the garlic was peeled off, it was a deep red color. The garlic flesh inside was not the ordinary white color, but a light pink color. It looked tender and cute.
It didn't have the pungent smell of other garlic. Instead, it had the fragrance of a plant.
Wuhai took it in his hand and looked at it for a while. Then he put it into his mouth, bit it slightly and started to eat.
Some provinces and cities liked to eat raw garlic very much. For example, in Jincheng, there were whole garlic on the table in every restaurant for people to eat. And in Chang 'an, people would eat raw garlic when eating noodles.
Undoubtedly, Wuhai wouldn't eat it. He directly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed. Fortunately, it was the Rouge Garlic provided by Yuan Zhou. Ordinary garlic was too pungent for people who didn't know how to eat it.
After the garlic was bitten open, the fragrance emitted from it became stronger. Wuhai's eyes lit up and he chewed faster. As he chewed repeatedly, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, making him feel refreshed. Soon, he ate up a clove of garlic. He felt much more awake and the chaotic feeling of waking up was swept away.
"This garlic is really good." While speaking, Wuhai covered his mouth subconsciously for fear of scaring people to death. However, the taste that came back to him was indeed refreshing with the fragrance of plants and wasn't pungent at all.
"Hu". He tried to exhale and found it was really the same smell. Wuhai still remembered the brand of his toothpaste. He used Yunnan Baiyao, which had a mint flavor. Obviously, it wasn't mint flavor now.
"It's really tasteless." After he muttered to himself, he started to peel off another clove.
"Grandpa Zheng, this garlic stimulates the appetite. It's really good. Why don't you try it?" While peeling off the clove, he tried to promote it to the grandpa sitting beside him.
"Look, there's no taste in my mouth. Besides, it's not spicy."
"Oh? Not spicy? "The grandpa, namely Grandpa Zheng, set down the chopsticks and asked.
"You'll understand after you try it." Wuhai signaled the grandpa to taste it directly.
"Ok. Let me try it." Grandpa Zheng wasn't a wasteful person. A bowl of noodle soup and two cloves of garlic cost 40 RMB. It would be too wasteful if he didn't eat it.
He peeled off the clove of garlic and smelled it carefully before putting it into his mouth.
Then, he was also subdued by the unique fragrance and appetizing feeling of the Rouge Garlic. As an old man, his internal organs inevitably deteriorated. Therefore, although the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou were delicious, Grandpa Zheng only ordered one dish each time and then he was full. Of course, it was not a problem for him to eat two Soup Dumplings.
Now that he ate the Rouge Garlic, he felt more energetic and comfortable. He also tasted the subtle taste of the noodles, just like the sensitivity of his sense of taste suddenly increased. Thus, his appetite also increased.
Of course, Grandpa Zheng's appetite increased only because of the improved feeling of eating. It wasn't that he wanted to eat more bowls of noodles out of thin air. It was just that he felt the heat of the food had increased.
"Is it really garlic?"
"None of Boss Yuan's things are simple."
"Originally, I didn't like to eat garlic. But today, I ate two cloves in a row."
"40 RMB. The average is 20 RMB per clove. Although it's quite expensive, it's worth it."
In an instant, the Rouge Garlic had two more fans.
In the morning, Yuan Zhou usually only opened for an hour. An hour passed quickly. Since Yuan Zhou didn't open the door in the morning, when they came again, the door was closed again.
"Slurp, slurp."
Yuan Zhou cooked noodles as usual. He finished the noodles in the bowl in two or three bites and carried the bowl of soup out of the back door.
During the day, the alley didn't look so dark and damp. Unknown wildflowers grew in the cracks of the bricks. The moss on the stone bricks made the alley look simple and quiet.
Walking forward to the end of the alley, the stray dog from last night was still lying on the snakeskin bag. But this time, it didn't howl or lick its legs.
During the day, it could be seen more clearly. This dog shouldn't be a purebred toy poodle. Its brown fur was mixed with black, and its fur wasn't all curly. More than a dozen bright red tender flesh of various sizes was exposed.
It seemed that it was sick and was found not to be a purebred dog, so it was thrown away.
The bowl from last night was empty and it was put in front of the puppy. Facing the arrival of Yuan Zhou, the brown and black dog raised its head and looked at him. Then it lay back down again, as if it didn't want to move.
Yuan Zhou didn't intend to keep it. He went forward as usual, poured the broth into the small bowl from yesterday and turned around to leave.
The puppy lying on the other side looked at Yuan Zhou. It didn't get up until Yuan Zhou walked far away and was sure that he wouldn't turn back. Then it stretched its head to lick the broth in the bowl.
This scene was seen by an auntie who came to deliver something to the puppy. It seemed that the auntie lived not far from here. Dressed in an ordinary cotton T-shirt and holding a piece of bread in her hand, she walked up to the puppy.
"Why did this person give me rice soup? Oh, it's noodle soup. It's quite fragrant." A whiff of noodle drifted over and the auntie corrected herself.
She started to coax the puppy in front of her, "Good dog. Noodle soup can't be full. I brought you some bread. Have some?"
