Yuan Zhou's daily life was very regular. Although he didn't go to bed at a certain time like a crazy planner, his daily life was very regular and he wouldn't go beyond a certain time.
Therefore, it was very rare for Yuan Zhou to still be awake at three in the morning.
People often said that the brain was more open at night. Therefore, it was more inspirational to think in the dead of night.
Yuan Zhou ate the eighth bowl of Spring Water Tofu Pudding without dipping it.
There was nothing wrong with Yuan Zhou's culinary skills. Even if Yuan Zhou gave a very fair evaluation, it was still the best. He was preparing to cut the ninth bowl of Spring Water Tofu Pudding.
The tofu pudding was made in a big pot, so it definitely wouldn't take shape with a spoon. Generally, in small restaurants, people would use a spoon to scoop up the tofu pudding, while the slightly bigger ones would use square pieces of tofu pudding.
There was a way to judge how delicious a dish was. In fact, there was a very simple way. That was to keep eating, keep eating, and see if one would get tired of eating it.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were very good. After eating eight bowls of Spring Water Tofu Pudding, it was still tender and smooth, soft and warm, and not greasy at all.
But please note that Yuan Zhou had eaten dinner, and he was very full, so his stomach was bulging.
Even if one ate too much Spring Water Tofu Pudding, his stomach would still hurt.
Yuan Zhou slumped on the chair. Because of the pain in his stomach, he couldn't move easily. Therefore, he put off cutting the ninth bowl of Spring Water Tofu Pudding and took a rest first.
"Am I stupid today? Why can't I find the reason for the inharmonious taste of the Spring Water Tofu Pudding after such a long time?" Yuan Zhou didn't stay idle even though he slumped on the chair. His brain recalled the taste of the previous eight bowls.
The room was quiet for a while. After resting for a while, Yuan Zhou's stomach didn't hurt as much, so he started to cut the ninth bowl. At 5: 30 am, Yuan Zhou would go for a morning jog. Even if he didn't go for a morning jog today, he still had to prepare breakfast at 6: 30 am and open the restaurant at 8 am
In other words, there were less than three hours left. It was a race against time.
Ten bowls …
Eleven bowls …
In the following time, Yuan Zhou ate another five bowls without stopping. He thought about everything and even experimented with three kinds of brine. There were many types of brine, but at the same time, there weren't that many.
There were different ways of making tofu pudding in different places. Some used bitter beef, some used brine, and some used gypsum. Yuan Zhou had tried all of them.
Even the unavoidable gypsum smell of the brine was removed by Yuan Zhou. It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort to remove it.
After several experiments, Yuan Zhou discovered that the brine provided by the system was indeed the least smelly. Coupled with his secondary cleansing, he had reached the point where there was no smell. It was already the perfect brine.
Besides, Yuan Zhou had a vague feeling that the problem wasn't with the brine.
The soybeans, water, brine, and dipping sauces were all fine. The problem wasn't the tenderness of the tofu pudding either. That strange feeling was well hidden.
On the 20th try, the System, which had been silent for a long time, said, [The menu of the Spring Water Tofu Pudding has been scanned several times. The menu is correct. ]
[We cannot exclude the possibility that the host has a temporary taste problem. ]
It was already 5: 21 am. Even the System couldn't bear to watch Yuan Zhou's dilemma anymore. It even scanned the menu provided by itself.
It was rare for the System to be like this.
"My feeling can't be wrong." Yuan Zhou was very confident and insisted on his judgment. He took a deep breath and let the tofu pudding in his stomach sink before eating again.
"Huh? This smell is … "
It was different this time. Yuan Zhou found a strange smell. He quickly stuffed two spoonfuls into his mouth and tasted — it was a fresh fragrance.
The tofu pudding was originally fragrant because it was made of high-quality soybeans. The aroma covered the fresh fragrance and made it extremely faint. Not to mention ordinary people, even the food critic Lee Yanyi couldn't smell it. Even Yuan Zhou had to taste 20 bowls of tofu pudding before he noticed the smell.
"Where did the fragrance of green leaves come from?" Yuan Zhou frowned. It didn't make sense for there to be a fragrance.
The fragrance was mixed with the natural tenderness of the soybeans and was slightly damaged. That was why Yuan Zhou could taste the disharmony.
While Yuan Zhou was thinking seriously, his phone rang with a sound of "Ding Ling Ling".
"It's time to jog. Let me go out and jog first. I've found the problem." Yuan Zhou turned off the alarm clock and went upstairs to wash up. Then, he changed into his sportswear and went out.
"It's not bad to go out and change my brain." Yuan Zhou took a deep breath of the cold morning air and then started jogging.
"Dadada Ta". Yuan Zhou strode forward regularly while thinking about the tofu pudding in his mind.
"Morning, Boss Yuan." Yuan Zhou passed by Huang Ling who was cleaning the street.
"Morning." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Boss Yuan, erm …" Huang Ling would usually greet him. Today, however, she suddenly stopped Yuan Zhou. She seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhou stood still and stopped.
"It's like this. I saw the light in your restaurant was on all night. Is it okay?" Huang Ling asked carefully.
Huang Ling was worried that something might have happened. However, when she saw Broth staying at the door quietly, she wasn't sure. That was why she asked hesitantly.
After all, Huang Ling had her own experience. She was inevitably very careful.
"It's okay. I was the one who kept it open." Yuan Zhou said genially.
"That's good. Boss Yuan, don't always stay up late just because you're young. You know, bamboo rots from the root." Huang Ling said with a caring tone.
"Bamboo?" An idea suddenly flashed across Yuan Zhou's mind. He thanked Huang Ling and immediately ran away.
"What's wrong with Boss Yuan?" Huang Ling looked at Yuan Zhou who ran faster than a rabbit and revealed a puzzled expression.
However, Yuan Zhou had no time to care about that. He directly ran back to his own restaurant.
"Hoo. That should be it. Hahaha. I'm truly a genius." Once Yuan Zhou entered the restaurant, he immediately muttered to himself with a smile.
Even in such a hurry, however, Yuan Zhou washed up thoroughly before he started to cook the tofu pudding again.
The 21st Spring Water Tofu Pudding was served after he prepared the breakfast.
"The taste is perfect. It's really like that." Yuan Zhou couldn't wait to eat the tofu pudding directly and then revealed a satisfied smile.
Yuan Zhou asked complacently, "System, what do you think? Are you convinced?"
The system remained silent. Yuan Zhou didn't ask further because the problem had been solved. He was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.
Although he didn't sleep for the whole night, Yuan Zhou was still very excited today. Even in the afternoon, he only took a short nap before he started to sculpt as usual. Then, he placed the sculptures on the shelf. As it was the school period, many kids came to get the sculptures.
Yuan Zhou's excitement lasted until Zhou Shijie came in the evening.
The perfect Spring Water Tofu Pudding. Precisely speaking, even the system hadn't thought of the perfect Spring Water Tofu Pudding.
Zhou Shijie was lucky tonight.
