The second dish served by Yuan Zhou was the Boiled Meat Slices. However, this Boiled Meat Slices was different from the ones served outside. The slices were tender white instead of the usual light red color of pork.
Due to the appetizer of the previous cold dish, the Boiled Meat Slices were finished in no time.
The Boiled Pork Slices were placed in a deep-sea bowl and sprinkled with finely chopped scallions. After the oil was boiled, Yuan Zhou used the wooden lid to suppress the fragrance before lifting the lid and carrying it to the table.
At this time, the scallions were bright green, the meat slices were tender white and large, and the bright red and oily spicy soup was covered with milky white broth. As soon as it was served, everyone couldn't help but want to taste the unique taste of the meat slices.
"This time, I won't stand on ceremony and will try it first," Zhou Shijie was more polite than Lee Yanyi. After he finished speaking, he saw that no one objected before he started to eat.
After Zhou Shijie picked up the first piece of meat, the others also started to pick up the meat. However, everyone's chopsticks moved very quickly.
"It seems like I get hungry watching people eat." The crew-cut man looked at the way they ate the Boiled Meat. His stomach growled, and he thought to himself.
"This is definitely the same as instant noodles. It looks fragrant but tastes mediocre." The crew-cut guy warned himself in his heart. Saying the grapes are sour when you can't eat them is a very good virtue. Don't tell me you still think the grapes are delicious and fragrant when you can't eat them? Isn't this self-torture?
"Chairman, you ate it first. I should be the one to taste the last piece," Hu Yue said solemnly with his chopsticks pressed on the last piece of meat.
"Chairman Zhou, as the chairman of Sichuan Cuisine, I should be the one to taste the taste of the last piece. You have eaten here many times before. You should give this opportunity to me," Zhang Yan said.
"Stop fighting. When it comes to quality, I should be the one to taste it," Lee Yanyi said.
"Respect the old and cherish the young. I should be the one to eat the last piece," Chairman Zhou said with a smile.
Ma Cheng and Zhao Xin exchanged a glance and put down their chopsticks reluctantly. However, they looked at the last piece of meat in the bowl reluctantly.
After all, if Zhou Shijie and the other three were to fight over it, there would be nothing left for them. They were not on the same level, so they did not dare to pick up their chopsticks.
"When I'm free, I'll have to come back here and order again," Ma Cheng thought to himself.
"I'm doing this to gather information for the Shu Brothel, not because it's delicious." Zhao Xin confidently found an excuse for himself.
There were a lot of scenes for the selection team here, and there were also a lot of scenes for the crew-cut man and the others outside.
"I didn't feel so hungry yesterday. I must have eaten too little for breakfast. That must be it," the crew-cut man and the cameraman thought at the same time.
Just when they were watching Zhou Shijie and the others fighting for food, Yuan Zhou had already started to make the third dish.
As for Zhou Shijie and the others, after the last piece of meat went to Zhou Shijie, the fight also came to an end.
"Speaking of the jade-white meat, what do you guys think?" To prove that the meat wasn't eaten for nothing, Zhou Shijie asked.
"I don't know how it was made, but I have seen a record of it," Lee Yanyi looked at Zhou Shijie and said.
"Mr. Lee, are you talking about the record of the great painter, Zhang Daqian?" Hu Yue asked.
"Yes," Lee Yanyi nodded.
"Maya Stir-fried Beef, is it this dish?" Zhang Yan thought for a while and said the name directly.
"This dish was created by Zhang Daqian himself. He stir-fried the beef and black fungus together. After it's out of the wok, the black and white of the fungus and the meat will be clearly distinguished. It's just that this dish can't be made according to the method in the legend," Lee Yanyi said.
"That's right. But I think the meat should be made this way," Zhou Shijie first nodded and said.
"But I'm afraid it won't have such an effect if it's cut into thin slices and rinsed with water," Zhang Yan said with a frown.
"But it does taste like pork tenderloin. It's very fragrant and doesn't seem to have been washed," Hu Yue also nodded and said.
Actually, there was a record of Zhang Daqian's Maya Stir-fried Beef in the book that Zhang Yan mentioned. According to the book, one only needed to cut the beef into thin slices and rinse it under the tap for 20 minutes. Then, add a small amount of cornstarch to the water and quickly stir-fry it with oil.
However, this was difficult to do. Moreover, pork was different from beef. If the pork was rinsed with water, there wouldn't be any taste of meat left. Instead, there would only be the taste of pork that was filled with water.
"Others might not be able to do it, but this Yuan just made the Three Fragrance to the Ocean not long ago. It's the dish recorded in the ancient book 'Song Zazu'. It's 100% complete," Zhou Shijie revealed the important news with a smile.
"Isn't that a legend?" Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"'Song Zazu'? Is that some ancient recipe? "Hu Yue asked straightforwardly. He had never heard of it before.
"No, it's just a miscellaneous book. The taste, appearance, and name of the dish are recorded in it. It's a pity that the cooking method wasn't recorded. However, it only took Yuan three days to make it," Zhou Shijie said calmly.
"Isn't it a little too obvious?" Hu Yue choked and couldn't help but say inwardly.
"Just because he's talented, he can bully others like this?" Zhang Yan looked at Yuan Zhou with a strange gaze.
Wasn't that right? A dish only recorded in an ancient book, yet Yuan Zhou was able to make it after studying it for three days. Could he really bully others like this?
"Studying and cooking is this brat's job. There's nothing to praise about it. Otherwise, he might get arrogant after hearing it," Lee Yanyi said with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, can you not be so pretentious?" Hu Yue was speechless.
"To be able to make a finished dish with just a name? Isn't it a little fake to be so humble when you're so amazing?" Hu Yue didn't say it out loud. He merely glanced at Yuan Zhou.
Of course, he also had plans in his heart. After the event ended, he planned to give Yuan Zhou an exclusive interview.
This time, Zhou Shijie's praises were so good that the others at the side fell silent. Ma Cheng was full of admiration for Zhou Shijie.
As for Zhao Xin, he naturally had the mentality of "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it."
"The third dish, Mapo Tofu. Everyone, please enjoy." Yuan Zhou's third dish broke the silence.
The Mapo Tofu served by Yuan Zhou was placed on a flat square plate. The small cubes of tofu were arranged neatly on the plate.
The side facing the customers had a jade-white texture. The other side was covered with a thin layer of red sauce. It looked red and glossy. Minced green garlic was even sprinkled on top of the tofu.
In the middle of the tofu, there were also golden-red meat cubes scattered everywhere. The meat cubes were perfectly integrated into the tofu.
Upon a closer look, one could even see some reddish-brown dots on the tofu. These were the Sichuan peppercorns sprinkled by Yuan Zhou.
The Sichuan peppercorns had brought the entire dish to life, giving it a strong fragrance.
"It looks good," Lee Yanyi said when he saw the Mapo Tofu.
"We can talk about it after eating it," Zhang Yan didn't stand on ceremony this time. He directly picked up his chopsticks and prepared to pick it up.
"That's right. We should talk about it after eating it," Hu Yue nodded in agreement and also prepared to eat.
