Amateurs enjoy the show, while experts appreciate the artistry. Zhou Shijie naturally appreciated the artistry. Since Carpenter Lian did not know how to cook, he naturally enjoyed the show.
When he saw that Yuan Zhou directly poured the beans into the wok and didn't do anything else, he immediately spoke.
"How can they be separated after frying together? Looks like it's a failure." Carpenter Lian frowned.
"You, an old carpenter, know how to cook?" Zhou Shijie asked.
"I don't know how to cook, but I know how to watch," Carpenter Lian said.
"Then watch carefully. I haven't asked you to eat yet," Zhou Shijie said in annoyance.
He said that because Carpenter Lian's words disturbed him from watching Yuan Zhou cooking. It wasn't because of anything else.
"You haven't asked me to eat yet, but I haven't asked you to listen. You talk too much," Carpenter Lian snorted coldly.
While the two of them were bickering, Yuan Zhou's side had also reached the crucial moment.
Originally, Yuan Zhou held the ladle in one hand and the handle of the wok in the other. He would toss the wok every time he flipped the wok.
However, the way Yuan Zhou tossed the wok was different from others. When he tossed the wok, there would be a few small tremors in the middle. It looked very different from others.
At this time, Yuan Zhou directly smashed the wok on the stove again. With a "bang", all the beans in the wok were thrown out.
At the same time, Yuan Zhou quickly picked up the plate on the side and the hand holding the ladle began to dance quickly.
Almost with a wave of the ladle, a layer of beans of the same color appeared on the plate and were neatly placed in the corresponding ripples.
Swish swish swish.
Carpenter Lian and Zhou Shijie could even hear the sound made by the ladle.
Yuan Zhou's action of loading the plate was extremely fast. It took him almost one minute to finish loading the plate.
"You two can taste it now," Yuan Zhou said as he put down the plate.
The beans of each color were placed in their respective positions on the plate, and they were clearly separated like a beautiful sand painting. If it wasn't for the slight steam coming from the top, it would really look like a piece of art.
"That's it?" Carpenter Lian was surprised.
"Yes, this Three Fragrance to the Sea red beans are sweet, the soybeans are salty, and the peas are sour with a hint of sweetness." Yuan Zhou nodded and introduced.
"This move is really, really good." Zhou Shijie was still thinking of Yuan Zhou's incomparably fast splitting of the board just now.
This was the most likely method that Yuan Zhou had found after experimenting. As his five senses were better than those of ordinary people, he still hadn't figured out how the ancients did it.
But a black or white cat that caught a mouse was a good cat, wasn't it?
After all, Yuan Zhou had already used his method to make Three Fragrance to Ocean.
"Wait, you're done just like that?" Carpenter Lian asked doubtfully after he recovered from the shock.
"Yes. Because I have already processed these beans beforehand, they are all semi-finished products." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Semi-finished product?" Carpenter Lian asked in confusion.
Zhou Shijie nodded and affirmed, "What do you mean? Say it."
Carpenter Lian turned to Zhou Shijie and said, "What do you mean? Say it."
Zhou Shijie looked at Carpenter Lian in annoyance and didn't say anything.
"It's like this. I've already soaked the red beans in honey. Because I was afraid that the honey wouldn't be easy to absorb, I've been keeping it at the body temperature of the human body." Yuan Zhou took the initiative to explain.
"The human body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. It won't be too hot to destroy the taste and nutrition of the honey, and it won't be too cold for the red beans to soak," Yuan Zhou continued.
"Yes, body temperature." Carpenter Lian had an "I'm listening" look on his face.
"So all I need to do is stir fry and add the honey to allow the sweetness to deepen," Yuan Zhou said.
"The soybeans are better. They only need to be soaked in warm salt water to swell. After that, they'll basically be set after stir-frying," Yuan Zhou said in a very simple tone.
"Hehe." If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Zhou was just a junior and Zhou Shijie was still around, Carpenter Lian really wanted to laugh at him.
"You make it sound so simple? How did it get lost in the ancient books?!" Carpenter Lian roared in his heart.
Actually, it wasn't just Carpenter Lian. Even Zhou Shijie felt like he was in a daze. Why did this dish sound so simple when he heard Yuan Zhou say it?
"Let's eat first. We'll talk after eating. "Although Zhou Shijie cherished Yuan Zhou's talent, he didn't want to listen to Yuan Zhou's introduction.
"Please enjoy," Yuan Zhou gestured with his hand.
"Dadada," the two old men walked quickly into the azure stone countertop.
As they got closer, they realized that the beans looked even better.
The red beans were coated with a layer of crystal clear syrup. This was probably the honey that flowed out when it was heated up. Now that it had cooled down, it became a layer that directly wrapped around the beans.
The translucent honey gave the red beans a beautiful layer of bright red.
The yellow soybeans, on the other hand, had a smooth and plump surface, giving off a soft and sticky feeling.
As for the light yellow pea, its surface was slightly wrinkled. It was round and neatly stacked on the plate.
Beside the plate were two small plates and two sets of chopsticks and spoons. These were prepared for them to taste.
"I won't stand on ceremony then," Carpenter Lian picked up the spoon and went straight for the pea.
Carpenter Lian was curious about the taste of the pea after it was fried.
As the pea and the red beans were placed together, Carpenter Lian deliberately avoided the red beans and only scooped the pea.
When the pea was first peeled, it was green in color. At that time, the pea could mostly be fried. After it turned yellow, some could be kept as seeds, and some could be used to make pea flour or pea sauce. Usually, the pea that was fried like this would be chewed for fun or to go with wine.
"Ka ka" When the pea was stuffed into the mouth and chewed a little, the surface made a slight cracking sound.
This was the sound of the pea's hardened skin cracking. At the same time, the fragrance of the pea spread out from Manman's mouth.
The pea wasn't hard to chew. When it reached the center, it was soft and powdery. Moreover, it had an extremely sour taste.
"Hiss, so sour," Carpenter Lian quivered.
The sour taste was like the rotting smell of aged vinegar that had just been opened, leaving behind a lingering sour and fragrant taste.
"Aiyo, I'm drooling," Carpenter Lian grunted and hurriedly swallowed the pea.
"This sweet taste is not bad. It's not sweet at all. It's soft and rustling, just like top-grade red bean paste. It's not greasy at all," the first thing Zhou Shijie ate was the red beans.
"You're the judge," Carpenter Lian reminded him.
"You don't believe me? Why don't you try it yourself? "Zhou Shijie said without hesitation.
"The sour taste is not bad. It's not sweet at all. But how can the sour beans not be sour when placed next to the sweet ones?" Carpenter Lian said as he started scooping up the red beans.
It was normal for sour beans to not be sweet because they were too sour. However, how could the sweet be sweet when it was mixed with the sour ones?
When Carpenter Lian tasted the red beans, Zhou Shijie went to taste the soybeans. They were salty.
