Chapter 2718: Another 30 years
Translator: 549690339
Lei di was invigorated. He went to Anhui Province for this double crispy rice crust. A restaurant had specially invited him to evaluate it.
Initially, Lei ti didn’t want to take on this job. There was only a month left before the new year. He thought that he wouldn’t go to work before the new year and would just stay at master chef Restaurant. This year, he wanted to spend the new year at master chef Restaurant. He had thought about it several times, and this year was just right.
However, the dish that he wanted to comment on was the double crispy rice crust, which attracted a lot of attention. Lei TI’s favorite dish was the various rice crust dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou, such as the rice crust meat slices in Sichuan cuisine, the crispy rice crust meat, and so on. He would really order several dishes to eat every two days.
Now that this dish was also a rice crust dish, he suddenly became more interested. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Thunder question.
This trip took more than half a month longer than the estimated time. It took them a total of one month. However, Lei ti was very satisfied. Not only did he meet Fang Yiming, the number one chef in the cooking world, but he also got a recipe book that might be useful to Yuan Zhou. Just thinking about it made him happy.
All of this was because of the double crispy rice crust dish. Now that the dish cooked by Yuan Zhou was about to arrive in front of him, he was naturally excited beyond words.
There were two plates and a bowl of tableware. There were many ingredients floating in the bowls, such as red ham, duck gizzards, white winter bamboo shoots, and black shiitake mushrooms. They were cut into small pieces with a knife and looked like little flowers blooming on the soup surface. It was very beautiful.
Elder Fang admired the soup’s appearance for a while before he unceremoniously picked up the bowl and poured the soup and ingredients into the Golden Rice crust plate.
“Swish, swish!”
The hot soup met with the crispy and brown rice crust, making a beautiful sound. The crisp sound was light at first and then heavy, with a profound meaning. The fragrance that assailed the nose became more and more colorful because of the convergence.
The Golden Rice crust was mixed with all kinds of ingredients, and the sticky soup touched the crispy rice crust, making the rice crust look more steady and self-assured than it used to be.
After listening to the melodious music and the rich aroma, the three of them picked up their chopsticks and prepared to start eating. They didn’t even need to be called. When the music stopped, it was the signal. It was like the war drums on the battlefield. Once the music stopped, the soldiers would immediately carry out the order.
“Shua shua shua”
The three pairs of chopsticks moved so fast that only their afterimages could be seen. They had different targets, but their destination was the same.
Naturally, old Fang chose the rice crust. Half of it was stained with the soup, and the other half was still golden. It gave off a light feeling and had the temperament of Zhong Wuyan.
“Ka Cha!”
The half of the rice crust that was not soaked in the soup made a crunching sound when he bit it. It was broken in an instant. The rice crust that had been fried just right was crisp and dry, without a trace of water inside. The fragrance of the rice had been rendered by the high-temperature oil, and there was a little oil fragrance. It felt like he would not feel greasy even if he ate the entire pot in one go.
Not only did the color of the half that was soaked in the soup darken, but the sound of biting also sounded much lower. The outside had already been soaked a little soft, but the inside was still crisp and delicious due to the time, which was very rare.
The two different tastes were mixed together, and the layers were rich. With the addition of the soup, the originally crispy rice crust was given a new life.
The other side dishes were soft, tender, and crisp. Because of the sauce, the taste was rich and natural. The combination of crispness and richness blew a delicious whirlwind in the mouth, which was fascinating.
As he watched Lei ti lick the last drop of soup clean, elder Fang suddenly blurted out the thought that had been lingering in his mind since the first dish,””You’re young and have a big appetite. I’m sure you didn’t eat enough. Let’s order three more dishes, one for each of you. What do you think?”
It was a question, but the certainty in old Fang’s tone could not be ignored. Lei ti and Guo penghao had already prepared for this, so they were not surprised.
By the time everyone had their fill and left the restaurant, it was already past lunchtime.
Elder Fang and Guo penghao had originally intended to meet Yuan Zhou and have a meal together. Therefore, they didn’t leave after they left the restaurant. As for Lei ti, he stayed shamelessly. He was thinking that since elder Fang was a highly respected master among masters and Yuan Zhou would definitely prepare some pastries and tea when meeting him, he could stay and have some food.
After eating a delicious meal and having some sweet desserts, the days of the immortals were nothing more than this.
It was a good idea, but Lei ti didn’t know that master Fang had launched a surprise attack on him and thus didn’t mention it to Yuan Zhou in advance.
Therefore, when they met again, there was indeed tea and snacks, but only a little. They were the supper prepared by Yuan Zhou for Yin ya. There was only a little of it. Lei ti didn’t get to eat it, but he could still masturbate with some top-grade tea.
The meeting between Yuan Zhou and Fang Yiming was of great historical significance. From that moment on, Yuan Zhou was firmly crowned as the best Chef in China. He was well-deserved of the title of the Chinese chef King, not only in his culinary skills, but also in the recognition of the government and the people.
As for the matter that elder Fang wanted to abduct Yuan Zhou to join the chef’s Association, he felt that everything should be done step by step. Therefore, he planned to stop enjoying the scenery and stay in Chengdu for a while to tell Yuan Zhou about this matter slowly.
Time flew by. Before Yuan Zhou and Yin ya’s wedding, the new year came.
“Pi Li pa la””Bang Bang Bang”
Early in the morning, the first thing to feel the new year atmosphere must be the sound of these firecrackers and fireworks, indicating the arrival of the new year.
Of course, Main City did not allow the setting off of fireworks, and the designated setting was in the suburbs. However, the sound could still be heard on Taoxi road.
It was Chinese New Year’s Eve today. As usual, Yuan Zhou woke up at the usual time. Today was the same as in previous years, where he would open his restaurant for business.
After making sure that he didn’t wake Yin ya up, Yuan Zhou washed up and went out for a jog. Like Yuan Zhou, the other restaurants in Taoxi road also opened at noon on the 30th day of the lunar calendar and didn’t open at night. Only Yuan Zhou’s master chef Restaurant would open at night on Taoxi road. Moreover, it wasn’t really open for business, because they didn’t need to pay. Yuan Zhou was the one treating them.
Only 30-year-olds had such a special treatment every year. Therefore, even if it was Yuan Zhou’s treat, there would still be customers who would come to the restaurant for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
As usual, he shouted at the owner of the noodle shop and remembered that he had to use the noodles. He ran forward, turned a corner, and arrived at the back alley. He finished running not long after.
“Rice, rice soup, noodles. It’s the last day of the new year again. After today, you’ll be one year older. I hope you’ll grow bigger and more powerful.”
Yuan Zhou felt that giving a blessing should be wishing for some wishes that couldn’t be realized in normal times. Only then could it represent one’s beautiful wishes.
He felt that the biggest wish of rice soup and noodles should be to break through their father’s body length and weight, so this blessing should be just right.
In the morning, even though it was already 30 years old, 100 servings of breakfast still needed to be prepared. The customers were already ready to go. For the sake of a good moral, Yuan Zhou prepared the yellow sugar tangyuans for breakfast.
Sesame, peanuts, and brown sugar were mashed with a stone mortar and wrapped in glutinous rice balls. After they were cooked, they were pink, glutinous, sweet, and sticky. Everyone who ate them had a smile on their faces. They were obviously in a good mood.
As Yin ya was also present at noon, Yuan Zhou had originally planned to cook only three dishes. But this time, he directly doubled the number. It became more lively when two people ate together.
Of course, the liveliest time was at night.
