Su Ruoyan had been working in the restaurant for a long time, so she had a good grasp of the rhythm, unlike when she first arrived. In order not to waste any of the customers' time, she had prepared a very precise watch.
Birds of a feather flock together. Not only Yin Ya, but also Mao Ye and Su Ruoyan were good at managing time. Just like now, Yin Ya had learned it very well.
The noisy crowd immediately quieted down as soon as Su Ruoyan finished her words. Those in the first echelon rushed forward with all their might. It wasn't because they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat if they were late, which didn't exist in the restaurant as long as they were in the queue and got a number. The main reason was that they felt happy to be able to eat one second earlier. Therefore, no matter where they were in the queue, they could enter the restaurant as fast as they could when it was their turn.
Wu, also known as Wu Tian, had been thinking about him ever since he followed Representative Li here for a meal. Today, Representative Li was resting for half a day, so he secretly got up early in the morning and ran here for breakfast.
It was a common thing for Wu Tian to get up early. He was very lucky to be the last one in the first echelon.
When he entered the restaurant, he deliberately looked back at the long queue behind him and felt very lucky that he came early and could eat first.
Sometimes, good fortune was accompanied by misfortune, and misfortune was accompanied by blessings. One shouldn't be too arrogant, otherwise, trouble would easily occur. This was exactly the case for people like Wu Tian.
When he turned his head, he saw an incomparably familiar figure standing in the fourth place of the second echelon. Immediately, he stopped in his tracks.
The most tragic thing in the world was to find that the leader was behind you when you wanted to eat delicious food. It was so unappetizing...
It wasn't because of his appearance. The main thing was that he couldn't eat comfortably with the leader around.
Wu Tian thought for a while and reluctantly made the decision to eat!
He nodded at Representative Li, who was looking at him, as a silent greeting. Then, he turned around and entered the restaurant nimbly, sitting on the remaining seat at the two-seater table near the door.
"This brat actually runs faster than me. It seems that the daily work intensity hasn't reached its limit. I can give Wu some extra work." Representative Li looked at Wu Tian's back as he entered the restaurant thoughtfully.
Today was Representative Li's first day off this month. Although it was only half a day off, there was only one evening meeting in the afternoon. It was also considered a day off. As soon as he took a break, he couldn't hold back the gluttonous worm in his stomach.
He wanted to bring his wife along, but he didn't expect that his wife couldn't get out of bed, so he had to come alone. However, he still made up his mind to bring his wife here next time. It would be a pity if he couldn't eat such delicious food.
"Noon is a good time." Representative Li pondered.
While Representative Li was secretly planning to bring his family over for dinner, Wu Tian was already attracted by the familiar food in front of him.
Actually, logically speaking, Lil 'Wu had been away from Shanghai for quite some time and he wasn't very familiar with Shanghai cuisine because he ate too many different things. In fact, that was the case. However, breakfast was still very special to Wu Tian.
The main reason was that every time he returned to his home in Shanghai, his grandmother would cook breakfast for him in the morning. His grandmother had always believed that the breakfast bought from outside was not good. The home-made breakfast was clean and reassuring. When his precious grandson came back, no matter how old he was, he was still a small child in the eyes of his grandmother and needed to be taken care of. Therefore, even though he was already in his 70s or 80s, he could still cook breakfast quickly.
Of course, the breakfast cooked by his grandmother was more of the same. Most of the time, it was Steamed Rice with some pickled vegetables. Sometimes, it was fried Youtiao, soy milk, and rice pancakes.
Therefore, when he saw the golden rice pancake rolled up into a roll and wrapped with the crispy Youtiao, he felt very familiar. This style was already very familiar.
There were two golden partners in the Shanghai breakfast. One was savory soy milk with Youtiao and the other was rice pancake with Youtiao.
Unlike many rice pancakes that were fried with leftover rice, the authentic Shanghai breakfast rice pancake was no longer available in many places. It tasted a bit similar to the Sichuan cake, but it was definitely not the same. After all, the cooking method was different. One was fried, and the other was steamed.
Wu Tian took a deep breath and smelled the familiar crispy fragrance. Although both the rice pancake and the youtiao had been oiled, one was fried while the other was pan-fried. The processing method was completely different, so naturally, the fragrance was also different.
However, Wu Tian didn't rashly eat it directly. Instead, he focused his attention on the white porcelain bowl on the side. The bowl was snow-white, and it was obvious that it was soy milk at first glance. However, this soy milk wasn't snow-white and delicate in color.
There were dark red, brown, black, and a little orange floating in it. It was obvious that it was shrimp skin, and there was also a little bit of seaweed floating in it.
"It's savory soy milk," Wu Tian said.
Compared to the sweet soybean milk, Wu Tian indeed preferred to eat the savory soybean milk. With the addition of pickled vegetables, shrimp skin, seaweed soy sauce, and other ingredients, even though the color wasn't that great, it tasted really good. If it was paired with a crispy and delicious fried dough stick, it would simply be perfect.
Rice pancake with Youtiao and savory soy milk. It was the first time he ate it like this.
"Ka Cha"
Wu Tian picked up the rice pancake with Youtiao and took a bite. First, the rice pancake with a crispy surface was broken, and then the soft inside with holes was revealed. Then, the crispy and fragrant Youtiao was also broken in one bite.
The sweet and soft inside, with a little acidity from the fermented rice, and the crispy Youtiao, deserved to be the best match.
After chewing and swallowing, he drank a mouthful of soy milk. The smooth soy milk was extraordinarily different because of the addition of many ingredients. The original bean smell was mixed with the freshness of shrimp skin, the saltiness of pickled vegetables, and the seaweed with a hint of the sea flavor. It was like a hodgepodge.
Even though many things were mixed together, under the guidance of the soy sauce, they were all very obedient. Every taste blended well with each other, and the soy milk that needed to be chewed made people feel that drinking a bowl of such soy milk was definitely a supreme enjoyment.
It was as if he was wearing a straw hat and wearing cool clothes, walking on the beach under the sun, and occasionally picking up a beautiful seashell. It was full of surprise and leisure.
Holding the bowl in his left hand and the rice pancake with Youtiao in his right, Wu Tian took a bite from both sides with great teamwork. It could be said that this was the most enjoyable breakfast he had ever had.
Different from Wu Tian who was like a fish in water, Jiang Nuan was a little hesitant. As Zhong Xiaoxiao's best friend, ever since she was brought to The Kitchen God, she had been completely conquered by the Rice Mantou made by Yuan Zhou.
Every now and then, as long as she was free, she would come to the restaurant to eat and order the Rice Mantou to enjoy the taste.
Because the previous project had ended, Jiang Nuan and Zhong Xiaoxiao were no longer working in the same place. Therefore, the two of them rarely came to the restaurant to eat together. Of course, the two of them came to the restaurant quite often, especially Jiang Nuan. The latest project was near Chengdu, so it was very convenient for them to come here.
From the way Zhong Xiaoxiao called Jiang Nuan, it could be seen that she was envious of Jiang Nuan. She still needed to take a taxi to eat, and she couldn't come every week. She was in despair. Jiang Nuan didn't know what to say.
