"Remember when someone comes to order dishes later." Yuan Zhou instructed Mu Xiaoyun who was standing at the side.
"Don't worry, boss. I have a good memory." Mu Xiaoyun knew that Yuan Zhou was busy, thus she immediately agreed.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyun staring at the door earnestly, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the ingredients for the Jin 'ling Grass. First, he prepared the main ingredient, the dark green plant that grew in the water.
Yuan Zhou pressed the button and stepped on the footboard to pick the fresh and tender roots.
A serving of Jin 'ling Grass was about two and a half taels. Yuan Zhou directly pulled out a whole row of stalks and held them loosely in his hand.
"Boss Yuan, is this the artemisia selengensis?" the grandpa recognized it at a glance and asked straightforwardly.
"Um." Yuan Zhou didn't say anything but nodded his head directly.
"This thing is said to be edible, but only that part is delicious." The grandpa also knew about it and had eaten it before. Now that he knew that the Jin 'ling Grass that Yuan Zhou was referring to was this, he felt relieved.
Yuan Zhou was concentrating on picking the vegetables. When the locals of Jin 'ling ate the artemisia selengensis, they needed to pinch off eight taels of silver per catty, leaving only a clean, green and crispy stalk tip. Yuan Zhou was even more ruthless. He pinched off only two and a half catties of artemisia selengensis in his hand.
He only took one-tenth of the artemisia selengensis, using only one tael per catty.
As the artemisia selengensis was easy to bruise and lose moisture easily, the system provided the raw materials that had been planted at the right time and were still in the water.
Yuan Zhou picked up a stalk of artemisia selengensis. The fresh and tender green color looked fresh and cute. He decisively broke off the tip and quickly removed the leaves before putting it into a ceramic pot with a small hole at the side.
Gradually, more and more green stalks of the same length appeared in the white ceramic pot. When the last stalk was cut off, Yuan Zhou picked up the pot and went to the bottom of the pond.
The freshly cut artemisia selengensis was so fresh and tender that water could drip out. Yuan Zhou first filled a slightly larger empty ceramic pot with water and then put the ceramic pot in his hand into it. Then he took out a ceramic rod as thick as a finger and gently turned the artemisia selengensis inside, washing it slowly.
This way, they could avoid getting hurt to the greatest extent.
The grandpa watched from the side as Yuan Zhou treated the pot of artemisia selengensis so delicately. He was both surprised and felt that it was only natural. If not, how could Yuan Zhou's dishes be so delicious?
This could be seen from the way the materials were processed.
A minute later, Yuan Zhou picked up the ceramic basin and placed it on the plate. He began to scoop out the excess water.
After everything was ready, Yuan Zhou lit the fire, changed the wok, and began to cook.
The advantage of the system was that even if it was a new wok, it would still be a cooked wok. There was no smell of iron, and the materials were extremely rare.
He heated the wok with high heat until smoke came out. With a sizzling sound, Yuan Zhou poured in the special oil for Jin 'ling grass and immediately turned off the heat. In this way, the temperature of the oil would rise instantly, but it wouldn't reach the point where the vegetables would be burned when they were poured in.
"Hu la, hu la", Yuan Zhou poured in the artemisia selengensis and began to stir-fry.
The artemisia selengensis itself was a perennial herb with a fragrant smell. The longer it grew, the stronger its smell would be. However, the artemisia selengensis used for food shouldn't have too strong of an artemisia selengensis. Otherwise, it would affect its original fresh and refreshing taste.
The artemisia selengensis selected by the system was the seed of the two-year-old artemisia selengensis. It was planted in water so that it could grow naturally.
The water used was from the clouds that hadn't fallen yet and then turned into water after being catalyzed by science. There was no smell of human pollution in it.
The artemisia selengensis grown in such a way didn't have any earthy smell, dust smell, or artificially cultivated smell.
It only took Yuan Zhou two minutes to put the pot of artemisia selengensis into the plate. Then, Yuan Zhou began to prepare for the next dish. Yuan Zhou, who had perfect skills and was much faster, finished it in three minutes. The artemisia selengensis on the plate even looked like it had just been taken out of the wok.
Of course, it was all thanks to the tray provided by the system.
After taking off the face mask, Yuan Zhou put the tray in front of the grandpa and said, "Here's your dish."
"Boss Yuan is really fast," the grandpa first said courteously and then looked at the new dish of Jin 'ling Grass that he ordered today.
The round porcelain plate had a white background and a small fish was painted on it. The small fish's mouth was opened vividly as if it were eating the emerald green tips of the artemisia selengensis on the plate.
"This plate is really vivid and interesting," the grandpa couldn't help but say.
Then, what came into sight directly shocked the grandpa.
"Is this dish fake?" the grandpa said in surprise while pointing at the emerald green artemisia selengensis on the plate.
"I also feel it's fake," Mu Xiaoyun couldn't help chiming in at the side.
Indeed, the dish on the plate looked no different from a fake one. Moreover, it looked like a fake green jade, stacked one after another. There was even a bead shaped like a water droplet hanging on the broken part of the artemisia selengensis.
The shiny oil looked like the light emitted by the green jade. It really didn't look like a dish at all.
"Even if Boss Yuan stir-fry a vegetable dish, he still gives me a fright," the grandpa shook his head and sighed with emotion.
"Have a taste, please." Yuan Zhou didn't say much. He straightforwardly signaled the grandpa to start eating.
"It looks like it's made of emeralds. This old man is also a person who eats emeralds." While saying that, the grandpa picked up two pieces carefully and stuffed them into his mouth to chew.
The artemisia selengensis looked like emeralds. Without any seasonings, it first tasted slightly fragrant and then the crisp and refreshing taste.
After chewing it, the root was bitten off and the fresh and tender juice wrapped inside flowed out. The intrinsic fragrance of the artemisia selengensis became more intense.
The grandpa wasn't a professional gourmet. After chewing it for a while, he swallowed it directly. Then, the unique light fragrance of the artemisia selengensis rose from his throat.
"It's really extremely fresh and tender." While saying that, the grandpa picked up another piece of the artemisia selengensis and stuffed it into his mouth again.
"Gu Dong". Seeing the grandpa eat so happily, Mu Xiaoyun couldn't help swallowing her saliva lightly.
Speaking of the part-time job in Yuan Zhou's restaurant, both the working hours and the salary were very good. However, there was one thing that was quite torturous. In front of the delicacies, she could only watch but couldn't eat. It was simply torture for the little girl Mu Xiaoyun who had a normal appetite.
There was no other customer in the quiet restaurant. Only the sound of the grandpa chewing could be heard, "Ba Ji Ba Ji".
How much could the Clear Broth Noodle Soup be after stir-frying? In just a little while, the grandpa ate it up straightforwardly while the Clear Broth Noodle Soup remained untouched.
"Little Master Yuan, the amount of each dish here is too little. Is there any possibility to increase it?" Looking at the empty plate, the grandpa asked tentatively.
"No." Yuan Zhou refused him flatly.
"Alas. The plate looks pretty good." The grandpa shook his head disappointedly and then lowered his head to look at the plate without any juice left.
"Huh? No. Little Master Yuan, why isn't there any gravy in the plate of vegetables?" The grandpa found something strange and asked.
"All the juice of the artemisia selengensis has been locked." The explanation of Yuan Zhou could only be understood by the grandpa who had eaten the dish.
Generally speaking, vegetable dishes would always lose their moisture when cooking. Of course, that also included the nutrition. No matter how fresh and tender the dish was cooked, it was the same. However, Yuan Zhou had achieved the skill of locking all the moisture in the artemisia selengensis.
How marvelous …
