2264 Accumulation of reputation
“Be careful, Romeo is waiting at home.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Don’t worry, boss Yuan. I got it. ” Zong mo didn’t think that silly dog Romeo would miss him.
Not thinking about the silly dog, Zong Mo made up his mind that he had to find something useful for Yuan Zhou since the Imperial Kitchen tomb rarely appeared.
After Zong mo finished speaking, he quickly bade farewell and left. The main thing was that there was still a car waiting there and he could not delay it.
After Yuan Zhou sent Zong mo off, he continued to fiddle with his chili.
In fact, there were many similarities between Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. Both Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine were not dominated by chili from the beginning, and chili was just one of the seasonings. Before the introduction of chili, the taste of Hunan cuisine was not mainly spicy. For example, there were very few spicy dishes in the famous eight big bowls of Jinggang. They paid more attention to the original taste of the dishes, which was a little similar to qiansu cuisine.
From then on, spiciness was the selling point. This was enough to show that many diners now liked to eat stimulating things.
There was a very magical thing. When diners from Xiang province went to old Chengdu to eat authentic Xiang cuisine, they realized that Xiang cuisine was not only spicy.
This was actually very normal, because it was really difficult to find an authentic and non-spicy restaurant in a city like mountain City.
From this, one could tell that the reputation that Yuan Zhou had built over the years had been fermented. The idea of the dishes of master chef Restaurant being authentic had been deeply rooted in the hearts of every customer. As Yuan Zhou’s reputation grew bigger and bigger, this idea became even more deep-rooted.
Therefore, when he ate something different from what he had eaten before, his first reaction wasn’t to doubt Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship. Other chefs really didn’t have such a treatment, because it was really difficult to change a person’s preconceived notion.
Master chef Restaurant was bustling with activity until evening.
“I heard that you’re leaving Chengdu tomorrow, so you probably won’t be able to drink this monkey’s wine.” President du got the news that President Wan would leave Chengdu for another city tomorrow. It seemed that there were some problems with the winery there and they needed to rush over to deal with it.
President du had failed to get a spot several times. Today, he finally got a chance and was caught by President Wan again. He owed him a favor and had to drink less wine.
The gloating chief du took a sip of the monkey’s wine with great satisfaction. He was beaming with joy as he poked at the other party’s wound.
Unfortunately, master Wan gave him a very calm glance and said,”There is such a thing. I’ll set off after breakfast tomorrow. If I can get it, I’ll be back on the same day. If I can ‘t, I’ll be back for breakfast the day after tomorrow.”
Master Wan’s words were like a stone thrown directly into a calm lake, causing layers of ripples. The master brewmasters who had just been watching and secretly rejoicing could not sit still anymore.
It should be known that the master Wan brew was the luckiest among them. They could get it twice out of ten times. Originally, everyone was quite happy to leave. Without a core competition, everyone’s strength would be improved imperceptibly.
However, that was not the case at all. They might need President Wan to bring them here for a drink, so they began to attack President du.
The tables have turned, and it’s my turn this year.
This time, President du immediately became the target of public criticism.
The lively time in the tavern slowly passed with everyone’s jokes. When it was over, everyone had a lot to drink. However, everyone was at ease with Mao Ye taking care of the situation.
Some of them left in groups, some called for a designated driver, and some called for a car. They only rested after a busy day.
“It seems like I can add a few more phone numbers to the Masters.” Yuan Zhou looked at the small notebook in his hand and thought in the heart.
This book recorded the phone numbers of drivers who worked late at night and some designated drivers. Previously, it was enough, but after the number of people in the small Tavern increased, there were more and more people. The number of designated drivers and drivers needed also increased, so he had to prepare in advance.
After taking note of that, Yuan Zhou began to wash up and do the final preparation work before going to bed.
Yin ya hadn’t come back yet. She needed to stay for a few more days. Due to the time difference, she had already said Goodnight to Yuan Zhou. Very soon, with the help of the system, Yuan Zhou fell into a deep sleep.
The night grew darker, and even the chirping of insects became so weak that it was almost inaudible. The light of the stars gradually dimmed, but planet Qiming became brighter.
When the sky started to turn white, it meant that a new day had arrived.
When it was time to get up, Yuan Zhou couldn’t sleep in even if he wanted to. His biological clock naturally prompted him to wake up. Then, he went to the bathroom to wash up and change his clothes, intending to start his morning run.
When they left, rice and the other two were sleeping next to Romeo. Because of Romeo’s big body, they were sleeping near his stomach.
“Awoo, awoo!”
They probably sensed a familiar aura, so they started howling without even opening their eyes. It was quite harmonious.
“I’m going for a run, you guys can continue sleeping. ” Yuan Zhou told her and then ran out in big steps.
After the jog today, Yuan Zhou didn’t go to the restaurant to eat the noodles. He just asked the boss to note down the name of the restaurant.
“It’s Midsummer, so it’s natural to have a bowl of three shrimp noodles to match the occasion. ” Yuan Zhou planned to eat the three prawns noodles for breakfast today.
“Hua la”
Yuan Zhou scooped up the river prawns prepared by the system and saw their huge bellies. At first glance, he could tell that they were full of shrimp seeds. At the slightly transparent part of the head, one could even vaguely see how fat and beautiful the head was.
“System, why does this river shrimp look like it’s from Dongting Lake? isn’t it good to have shrimp from Lake Tai?” Yuan Zhou was a little curious.
The three-shrimp noodles was a classic Jiangsu dish. It was only normal to use the shrimp from Lake Tai. Judging from the posture of the shrimp, it was obvious that they were from Dongting Lake.
Dongting Lake should be associated with Hunan cuisine.
This time, it was a question related to cooking, so the system directly displayed,””The river shrimp adopted by the system is a female shrimp that is specially cultivated. It has an abundant amount of shrimp seeds, a very heavy amount of shrimp brain, and a very high nutritional value. The shrimp meat is fresh and tender. It’s already July, and the daily underwater temperature of Dongting Lake can reach about 28 degrees Celsius, which is the best time for food. The shrimp in Lake Tai can only reach the best taste in August.”
You can, and you’re even picking it up!
“So you’re saying that I have a shrimp farm in Lake Tai and Dongting Lake? how can I accept that?” Yuan Zhou said directly.
“…” The system.
Ignoring the mysterious system, Yuan Zhou quickly took out the sieve and planned to filter out the shrimp seeds and roast them for later use.
Originally, these things could have been prepared in advance, but Yuan Zhou was very particular about the ingredients. Anything that could be cooked fresh must be cooked fresh. He felt that the taste would be better that way.
After the prawns were soaked in water, he immediately began to sieve out the prawn seeds. Then, he took the prawns one by one in his hand and twisted it with one hand. The whole prawn brain was squeezed out and placed in a bowl at the side for later use. As for the fresh and tender prawn meat, he directly placed it in another bowl and waited for it to be used again.
The preparation of the three shrimp noodles was very cumbersome. After the shrimp were processed, the noodles that had been mixed previously were almost done.
“Pa pa pa”
Yuan Zhou smashed the dough on the chopping board with all his strength. After that, he closed the cutting board and continued to smash it. Then, he repeated the previous action to increase the strength of the dough. In this way, the noodles that were pulled out later would be very tough.
The noodles used for the three shrimp noodles should be fine noodles, so it would be more delicious when eaten with the three shrimp.
