Speaking of which, the other dishes ordered by Liu Zhang weren't complicated except for the Thousand Thread Mantou.
"He really knows how to eat." Yuan Zhou received the menu and said inwardly.
That's right. Yuan Zhou also figured out Liu Zhang's intention with a single glance. He didn't have any other thoughts and just started to cook earnestly.
"Knead the dough first and then cook the other dishes." Yuan Zhou immediately arranged the most reasonable time and then started to cook.
The origin of Mantou was very long. There were many records about it in the history of China. For example, the simplest one was that Mantou had fillings at the very beginning. It wasn't until later that it became different.
Those without fillings were called Mantou and those with fillings were called steamed buns.
Naturally, Liu Zhang ordered the Mantou without fillings. Moreover, it was a kind of Mantou with complicated cooking methods that appeared later.
The flour used for the Thousand Thread Mantou was a little different from others.
Because the Thousand Thread Mantou wasn't pure white but had a slight yellow color, Yuan Zhou ate the stone-ground flour directly, which was different from the skin of the Clear Broth Noodle Soup and the Soup Dumplings.
"Zhi Ya Zhi Ya." Yuan Zhou pushed the small stone mill at a constant speed with one hand and sorted out the other ingredients with the other.
It was quite common for Yuan Zhou. After all, there were more and more customers now and Yuan Zhou could do different things with both hands.
Luckily, he only needed to push the stone mill with his left hand at a constant speed and didn't need any skills. Therefore, Yuan Zhou's right hand wasn't affected.
"Boss Yuan's manner of working with both hands at the same time is amazing every time I see it." Engineer Cheng sighed with emotion and said.
Speaking of using both hands at the same time, Engineer Cheng could also do it. Sometimes, when he was busy, he would open two pots and cook the dishes at the same time. However, he would cook the dishes quickly and the other slowly.
But he really couldn't do different things at the same time like Yuan Zhou did.
"It's like drawing a circle with the left hand and drawing a square with the right hand in the TV series." The customers at the side also nodded and said.
"It's surprisingly freshly ground and cooked. It seems that I'm lucky to have a good meal." Liu Zhang accepted Yuan Zhou's manner and looked forward to Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.
"But even so, the dishes cooked by Boss Yuan are still so delicious. It seems that there's no difference between the left and right hands," one of the customers suddenly said.
"No difference? If you can finish a bowl of Egg Fried Rice with your left hand today, I will treat you to the next meal, "Engineer Cheng turned his head and looked at the person who had just spoken and said casually.
"Anything?" The one who spoke just now was a girl with beautiful, soft, and short hair. Her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately replied.
"Of course. Whatever you want, as long as you can eat it." Engineer Cheng nodded his head affirmatively.
"Alright, just wait and see. Although I'm not left-handed, I eat Egg Fried Rice with a spoon." The girl smiled slyly and picked up the spoon on the table with her left hand.
"Go ahead and try." Engineer Cheng said confidently.
"Thank you for your kindness in advance, uncle. There are many dishes in Boss Yuan's restaurant that I want to try," the girl said with a smile.
The girl's ordinary face became mischievous and adorable because of this smile.
"You are welcome. Only when you succeed can you have them." Engineer Cheng nodded his head.
The girl made a gesture of affirmation and then picked up the spoon and started to eat.
Engineer Cheng wasn't in a hurry to look at Yuan Zhou this time. Instead, he looked at the girl eating with her left hand. Even the customers at the side couldn't help turning their heads and looking at her. They also couldn't help discussing in a low voice.
"Do you think she will succeed?"
"I don't think so. I have tried. I can't even pick up a single dish with my left hand."
"But she uses a spoon. It should be easier."
"Not necessarily. I can write with my left hand, although it's not fast."
"Then you must have exercised. Judging from the way the girl is holding the spoon, she doesn't seem to have exercised."
"That makes sense. I wonder if I can see Engineer Cheng treat me to a meal."
The diners discussed softly one after another, but Master Cheng was not anxious at all. He was not worried at all.
Of course, Engineer Cheng wasn't worried at all, because he was one of the people who had been practicing with his left hand. After all, he had to work hard to learn from Yuan Zhou.
When he used his left hand and right hand together, he still couldn't feel it. But when he took out his left hand and used it alone, he would know how clumsy his left hand was.
If he hadn't specially practiced with his left hand, he wouldn't be able to finish a bowl of Egg Fried Rice even with a spoon.
Having personally practiced with his left hand, Engineer Cheng naturally knew how difficult it was. He admired Yuan Zhou even more for being able to use both his left and right hand at the same time. That was why he made the bet.
He also wanted to let other customers indirectly know how awesome Master Yuan was. That was the purpose of Engineer Cheng.
"Well, it's really easy." The girl ate a mouthful of the Egg Fried Rice scooped with her left hand and said smilingly.
"Continue." Engineer Cheng signaled her.
"It's getting more and more difficult as it goes on." Engineer Cheng said inwardly.
That was indeed the case. There was a lot of Egg Fried Rice at the beginning, so he didn't need to control himself when he scooped it with his left hand. But when the Egg Fried Rice became less, he naturally needed to control himself. At that time, the difference between the left hand and the right hand would widen.
Just when Engineer Cheng was making the bet with others, Yuan Zhou had finished grinding the wheat flour. The wheat flour was a little yellowish, but the fragrance of the wheat was extremely strong.
"Not bad. The wheat flour provided by the system is indeed the best." A smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Zhou's mouth under the face mask.
As the wheat flour had been ground by the stone mill, it was still a little hot. He had to wait until it cooled down completely before kneading the dough.
Taking advantage of the time, Yuan Zhou began to wash his hands.
After washing his hands four times and disinfecting them once, Yuan Zhou wiped them dry with satisfaction and prepared to knead the dough.
The Thousand Thread Mantou only required a little flour and lard. Everything else depended on the craftsmanship. Even the amount of water was very little.
Therefore, kneading and fermentation were the most important processes. Naturally, Yuan Zhou wouldn't be careless.
"I should be able to use the old dough this time." Yuan Zhou was quite expectant.
Last time, when he made the Spring Water Mantou, Yuan Zhou abandoned the special fragrance of the old dough because he wanted to take advantage of the fresh and sweet taste. This time, however, it was different. Only the old dough could make the Thousand Thread Mantou ferment to the most mature and best state.
"I wonder if the system will provide the thousand-year-old old dough." Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the Shu Han old dough in the cartoon Cooking Master Boy.
That's right. Yuan Zhou had watched this cartoon. Because of the anime girl, he went to search for this cartoon.
Well, Yuan Zhou was prepared to try all the dishes in the cartoon if he had the chance to see if they tasted good.
The system displayed, "The most suitable ones are the best."
"Does that mean there are no thousand-year-old old dough?" Yuan Zhou reacted immediately.
The system displayed, "This is the graphite powder old dough left by the previous several hosts."
"The previous several hosts?" Yuan Zhou was startled and immediately looked at the old dough that had just been taken out attentively.
It was a piece of old dough that looked almost the same color as the flour that Yuan Zhou had just ground. It was slightly yellow and about the size of half a palm.
Yuan Zhou pinched it and felt it was very soft. When he brought it closer, it carried the fragrance of the fermented flour and a little sour taste. It was not much different from other old dough.
"I wonder how effective it is." Yuan Zhou put it into the flour expectantly and started to knead it.
