"Stupid." When he walked out of the restaurant, Li Wentong heard Engineer Cheng say the word "stupid" from afar.
"This guy is really bad-tempered. But Boss Yuan is really nice." Li Wentong wasn't angry at all. Instead, he ridiculed lightly.
Having solved the problem of the Green Jade Rice Crust, Li Wentong appeared quite happy and even his footsteps became lighter.
"You can go back, too." Seeing Li Wentong walk out of the restaurant, Yuan Zhou turned his head and said to Engineer Cheng.
"Master Yuan, did you deliberately cook the Rice Crust so slowly these two days?" Engineer Cheng revealed a smile on his simple and honest face and asked straightforwardly.
"No. It's all the same." Yuan Zhou talked nonsense primly.
"But you usually only need four and a half minutes to cook one dish and you have to cook some other dishes in the middle. But now, you need eight minutes to cook one dish and you have to cook two extra dishes in the middle." Engineer Cheng had watched Yuan Zhou cook attentively, so he naturally knew it very well. "Not bad.
You watch very carefully. You can make a serving of Rice Crust and bring it to me some other day. "Yuan Zhou nodded his head in a pretentious manner and then said.
"Okay. Thank you, Master Yuan." Engineer Cheng said excitedly.
"Um. It's getting late. You can go back now." Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"Okay. Goodbye, Master Yuan." Engineer Cheng said goodbye respectfully and then left.
"Dadada Ta". The footsteps of Engineer Cheng faded away. Shin Min had already gone to the pub to tidy up. Now, only Yuan Zhou was left in the restaurant.
"Fortunately, I am quick-witted." Yuan Zhou let out a long sigh of relief and then sat on his chef's chair to rest.
In the following days, Yuan Zhou didn't make tea again. He used a whole 50 grams that time. During the period, he wasted a lot and drank less.
"As expected, I don't have much talent in the tea ceremony," Yuan Zhou lamented before he invited Mu Xiaoyun to have a cup of tea.
That's right. Although Yuan Zhou had obtained the technique of making tea, he didn't use it as skillfully as his culinary skills. Instead, he used it clumsily. As a result, a lot of tea was wasted. Even Yuan Zhou, who didn't like tea, felt distressed.
However, the reason why Yuan Zhou didn't make tea these days was that he was thinking about Boss Tong. Although Aunt Tong didn't talk to Yuan Zhou about the store, Yuan Zhou was still a little worried.
After all, Boss Tong had no relatives or friends.
Li Wentong, on the other hand, didn't have such worries. He came here every night and ordered a serving of Green Jade Rice Crust. No matter where he was, when Yuan Zhou was cooking, he would directly stand next to Engineer Cheng and watch Yuan Zhou cook this dish together.
"Nice to meet you, Engineer Cheng." Li Wentong greeted him politely every time.
"Don't say much. Just watch by yourself." Engineer Cheng said that every time. However, his tone became softer and softer.
"Um." Li Wentong nodded the head.
Due to Li Wentong's temperament, he always made others feel comfortable when he treated others softly. Even Engineer Cheng was no exception. As for Yuan Zhou, one would know it by watching him cook the Green Jade Rice Crust carefully and earnestly.
Speaking of the techniques, the Green Jade Rice Crust wasn't really difficult, especially with Yuan Zhou's demonstration. Of course, it was only for Engineer Cheng.
Although it was a little difficult for Li Wentong, fortunately, he was smart. For some cooking techniques that he couldn't use, he could break them down and replace them with simple ones. After all, his strength wasn't in cooking.
After another two days, it was noon when Li Wentong came to the restaurant. He didn't eat anything this time because the lunchtime had just ended when he arrived and Engineer Cheng hadn't left yet.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan. Thank you, Engineer Cheng." As soon as Li Wentong entered the restaurant, he thanked them straightforwardly without hesitation.
Although the two people were a little puzzled, they still said "You're welcome" earnestly.
Nevertheless, Li Wentong was quite happy in his heart because he finally realized his wife's wish.
Just last night.
That day, Li Wentong deliberately spared some time in the afternoon. First, he made a phone call to send his wife away. Then, he returned to the kitchen at home and began to busy himself.
Li Wentong cooked very slowly. It took him about two hours to finish the Green Jade Rice Crust. Fortunately, he timed it well. Just when he finished, his wife came back.
"Wentong, what did Mrs. Liu cook? It's quite fragrant, but a little burnt. "An amiable female voice passed into the restaurant along with the sound of the door opening.
A slender middle-aged woman with short hair and light makeup walked into the restaurant. She looked quite spirited.
"A Hui, Mrs. Liu isn't here today. Why don't you change your shoes and taste this?" Li Wentong put down the apron quickly and said while pointing at the big soup bowl on the table.
"Why are you acting so mysterious? What's there?" The woman called A Hui said while smiling. She changed her shoes quickly. It seemed that she was quite curious.
"You'll know soon." Li Wentong wasn't calm and gentle, but appeared a little excited.
"Okay. Now it's OK. Should I open it or you?" A Hui sat at the dining table and asked smilingly.
"Of course you open it." Li Wentong sat on the dining chair opposite to her and looked at his wife expectantly.
"We've been married for so long. Why are you still doing this?" A Hui blushed a little when she was stared at by Li Wentong. She spat at him, but the smile on her face was quite obvious.
"Hurry up and have a look." Li Wentong didn't really care about that, but just urged her.
"Hua", there was a slight sound of porcelain colliding. A Hui opened the lid and saw a semicircular inverted rice crust floating inside. It was the Green Jade Rice Crust.
"It's surprisingly the Green Jade Rice Crust?" A Hui looked at the rice crust and then looked at Li Wentong. Her heart was filled with warmth and she didn't know what to say for an instant.
That's right. Li Wentong cooked this dish just for his wife.
A Hui's original name was Zheng Hui. She and Li Wentong were a couple who had gone through hardships. Li Wentong started from scratch and she had been with him until now.
As for the Green Jade Rice Crust, Li Wentong specially took her to eat it when they were in love in order to please her. At that time, they were still in a small county.
Zheng Hui could still remember the taste of this dish. It was crispy, soft and glutinous and the broth inside was rich and fragrant. It was the first time that she knew the rice crust could be so delicious after being soaked in broth.
Now that their 20-year wedding anniversary was approaching, Zheng Hui thought of this dish again and wanted to eat it. She had only mentioned this dish twice and Li Wentong had also taken her there once.
However, no matter whether it was a five-star restaurant or a famous restaurant on the street, there was no such dish anymore. Even the rare dishes that could be cooked were unworthy of the name.
They either served the rice crust and poured some chicken broth over it or made it into sliced pork with rice crust. After eating it for several times, Zheng Hui couldn't stand it anymore and thus didn't go to eat it anymore.
Li Wentong couldn't even wake her up. Unexpectedly, it was placed in front of her now.
"Did you cook it, Wentong?" Zheng Hui revealed a smile and asked.
"Of course. You can taste it," Li Wentong said quite proudly.
"Don't you only know how to cook Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes? When did you learn to cook this dish?" While complaining, Zheng Hui reached for the rice crust with the chopsticks in her hand.
"You'll know after you eat it. It's definitely the taste you want," Li Wentong said confidently.
