"Cough cough. Thank you, system, for helping me on my way to becoming a Master Chef." Yuan Zhou didn't look at the raw materials immediately, but said primly.
After that, Yuan Zhou started to look for the raw materials provided by the system slowly.
On the wooden door of a small cabinet at the top, Yuan Zhou saw a big Chinese character "Tea" written on it. It was written in a seal script, which gave it a feeling of ancient charm.
"This character is nice." Yuan Zhou looked at it and then opened the cabinet.
"Huh? No, I haven't brought the gloves." Yuan Zhou remembered that he didn't bring the gloves and didn't wash his hands. Therefore, he immediately went to wash his hands and then put on a pair of gloves.
Of course, it was provided by the system. The gloves were very thin and light and didn't affect the sense of touch. However, Yuan Zhou didn't wear them often.
This time, he needed to touch the tea leaves by himself before he could use it. Besides, he only wore one hand so that no trace of the smell would remain on the tea leaves and maintain the most basic taste of the tea.
"Now it's done." Yuan Zhou opened the wooden door with his left hand that wasn't wearing the gloves.
Immediately, a fragrance came to his nose. It was like the orchid beans, clean and fragrant.
"It's really refreshing." Yuan Zhou carefully grabbed a handful of tea leaves with his gloved hand and put it into the prepared bowl.
Of course, after grabbing three handfuls of tea leaves, Yuan Zhou closed the wooden door. He couldn't let the fragrance spread out further.
Yuan Zhou took a jade white soup bowl without any patterns. The tea leaves in the bowl were all green Longjing tea leaves with one bud and one leaf.
That's right, it was Longjing tea leaves. Yuan Zhou recognized that.
"It's really Longjing tea leaves before the Ming Dynasty. Last time, you said there were only a few taels of it." Yuan Zhou ridiculed in a low voice.
The system displayed, "Another spring has arrived and new tea leaves have been harvested."
It was rare that the system gave an explanation that wasn't an explanation this time.
"I know, I know. There's nothing the system can't do." Yuan Zhou flattered the system primly.
After that, Yuan Zhou turned his attention to the tea leaves in front of him again.
He saw that the tea leaves in the bowl were flat and tender green. The shape was a beautiful strip, and the width was basically the same. He could feel the tenderness of the leaves through the glove.
The fracture was also clean and neat, without a single pinch mark. This made Yuan Zhou instantly think of a legend.
"Wait, system, are these tea leaves picked by unmarried women? Or are they plucked with their lips?" Yuan Zhou asked in shock.
The system displayed, "The temperature of the oral cavity will destroy the protective film on the surface of the tea."
"So you're denying it? That's good. "Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief.
Yuan Zhou didn't object to using an 18-year-old girl to pick tea leaves. After all, a little girl's hands were light and her movements were gentle. However, he didn't want to use her lips.
"Now it's time to boil the water," Yuan Zhou said to himself, and then began to fry the tea leaves.
The tea leaves were very fresh and tender, and one could even see the dew on them. Therefore, Yuan Zhou did not wash them. Instead, he boiled a pot of spring water and poured the tea leaves in.
That's right, he poured them in. Yuan Zhou directly poured the tea leaves into the boiling water. Immediately, a rich fragrance emitted from the pot of water.
Immediately, the small restaurant was filled with the fragrance of the tea.
"It smells so good," Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion and immediately scooped up the tea leaves with a wooden ladle.
At that time, the tea leaves showed a kind of tender yellow-green color. Although the leaves were slightly wilted, they still looked fresh and tender. The transparent water in the pot had a light brown color.
The fragrance emitted from it was long-lasting and pleasant.
"Hua Hua", Yuan Zhou moved his wrist slightly and filtered out the excess water with the strength of his wrist. Then, he poured the water into a plate that was slightly deeper than the mouth of a bowl.
"Shua Shua Shua", Yuan Zhou quickly picked up the seasonings prepared on the table and sprinkled chili, well salt, peach vinegar and sugar successively on the tender tea leaves.
Finally, Yuan Zhou stirred the tea leaves quickly with the taste-free chopsticks.
"Done. Tea Salad. The taste should be good," Yuan Zhou looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
Just when Yuan Zhou prepared to taste it, the system suddenly uttered.
The system displayed, "What's this?"
"Tea Salad. It looks good, doesn't it?" Yuan Zhou said naturally.
The system displayed, "Host, aren't you frying the tea leaves?"
"Yeah, it's indeed frying the tea leaves." Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly.
"Of course. But this frying isn't that frying," Yuan Zhou continued saying.
The system displayed, "This is Longjing before the Ming Dynasty. The annual output is less than 500g, that is, 500g."
"I know. It's precisely the good tea leaves that taste good. Top-quality ingredients produce top-quality dishes." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
The expression on Yuan Zhou's face was quite complacent and proud. After all, the Tea Salad looked very good.
The fragrance was delightful and also emitted a meaning of "come and eat me."
The system kept silent for a long time. Just when Yuan Zhou thought it wouldn't say anything again, the system suddenly displayed a paragraph of English.
The system displayed, "What the f * ck."
"System, are you cursing me?" Yuan Zhou asked in surprise.
The system turned a deaf ear to him. Yuan Zhou said again.
"So you know how to curse?"
"That's not right. How can you curse?"
However, the system didn't respond at all as if it was dead.
"Is it really going to die?" Yuan Zhou mumbled. However, the system still turned a deaf ear to him.
"Forget it. Let's try the taste of my Longjing Salad." Yuan Zhou put aside his deep thoughts on the system that had suddenly gone mad and decided to return to the main topic.
"Awoo." Yuan Zhou picked up a tea leaf with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
The moment it entered his mouth, the fragrance of the tea mixed with the spiciness of the chili immediately spread in his mouth.
"Ba Ji Ba Ji". After chewing, the leaves had a smooth and crispy feeling. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. Moreover, there was no bitter taste at all.
There was only a taste of sweetness with a hint of bitterness. However, under the guidance of the sour and spicy taste, it immediately became a unique flavor.
On the contrary, it made the taste of the Longjing Salad even richer and more layered.
"Delicious. As expected, eating tea leaves like this is more refreshing and refreshing." Yuan Zhou sighed in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with his masterpiece.
"Awoo. Awoo." Yuan Zhou picked up a few mouthfuls and ate continuously.
The more he ate, the more satisfied he was. One had to know that Yuan Zhou didn't like drinking tea. Moreover, the system only gave him the way to brew Longjing tea. Therefore, he only had this one tea ceremony.
And eating this way, Yuan Zhou expressed that he liked it very much.
"Tasting delicacies and relieving spring sleepiness, killing two birds with one stone. I'm really a genius." Yuan Zhou looked at the half plate of Longjing Salad in satisfaction.
At this moment, someone came in with hurried footsteps. There were two of them.
"Boss Yuan, are you there? I brought you a piece of good news." The energetic voice was undoubtedly that of an old man.
"Hey, don't run so fast. Boss Yuan's restaurant is open. He's definitely here." This voice belonged to Wang Shuyuan, who hadn't been here for a while.
It was worth mentioning that apart from food, these two loved tea even more. It was unknown what the purpose of these two people coming together was.
