2290 Fatty mi
It wasn’t the first time he had come to China, but every time he said he was going to eat Singapore Food, Qiao Hongtao would find that the names were basically the same, and then the taste was very different. Some were a little authentic, and some were purely Chinese food itself.
It wasn’t that Qiao Hongtao had a glib tongue, but as someone who had grown up eating vegetables, the most authentic Singapore Food in his heart was definitely the mother-in-the-mess.
It was natural that he couldn’t find any authentic food in the Inland of Huaxia, which was very normal, because Qiao Hongtao knew that there were too many delicacies in this country.
However, Qiao Hongtao’s expression was full of expectation. He was giving face to Jiang Changxi’s words.
As a smart person, Jiang Changxi naturally could tell something was wrong. However, she had full confidence in this little man, boss Yuan. At least, no one could match him in cooking.
Therefore, although she could tell that Qiao Hongtao didn’t think much of it, she didn’t say anything. She liked to see people being conquered by food and not seeing the world.
When Qiao Hongtao felt that his patience was running out because of the queue and wanted to find something to distract himself, dinner time finally began.
As she was at the front of the line, Jiang Changxi took the lead and entered the restaurant when su Ruoyan said to start.
“Boss Yuan, good evening.” Jiang Changxi greeted Yuan Zhou.
As Yuan Zhou was no longer single, it was impossible for him to drive or flirt with her.
There was a saying that if a man drove in front of a woman, it basically proved that the man had feelings for the woman. However, if a woman drove in front of a man, it basically meant that they were brothers.
What she said might not necessarily be right. Anyway, Jiang Changxi paid close attention to it. Now that she had become more familiar with Yin ya, she paid more attention to it. Of course, she was used to raising her tone at the end of every sentence.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head expressionlessly. He was quite used to the way Jiang Changxi spoke. It was no joke to have facial paralysis of the highest level.
“Hello, boss Yuan.” Wu Yungui also greeted him with a smile.
Qiao Hongtao, who was following behind, also followed suit and greeted Yuan Zhou. Looking at the young face that couldn’t be covered even with a mask, his anticipation dropped again.
However, people in the business world still did a good job on the surface. What they thought in their hearts didn’t matter as long as they didn’t show it.
There was really reason to suspect that Jiang Changxi and Wu Yungui had specially found someone who didn’t know Yuan Zhou to come to the restaurant to eat.
after all the customers entered the restaurant and took their seats, jiang changxi supported her head with her hand and sat on the chair sideways. she tilted her head and called out to su ruoyan,””little yanzi, come here. we’re ordering.”
compared to jiang changxi’s lazy appearance, wu yungui was much more reliable. he directly picked up the menu and turned it to the first page with Singapore cuisines. then, he handed it to qiao hongtao and said,”mr. qiao, you can take a look at what you want to eat first. you can order whatever is on the menu.”
it seemed that they had a very cooperative spirit. at least, qiao hongtao would not be confused.
“i want a fried milk, a phoenix reincarnation, a fermented chinese perch, and a sweet and sour lychee. i’ll take these first.” recently, jiang changxi had been eating cantonese food, which was relatively bland.
wu yungui had been very fond of hunan cuisine recently, so he had ordered all the hunan cuisine.”a steamed fish head with chopped pepper, a flavored shrimp, a dong ‘an chicken, a fish meal, and a steamed dish with preserved flavor. that’s all.”
qiao hongtao, on the other hand, was engrossed in the menu. he didn’t expect the Singapore dishes on the menu to be so complete. to be honest, many of the dishes were in his own memory, and few restaurants knew how to cook them now. he didn’t know if the chef was too confident or if his cooking skills were too superb, but it was hard to judge without eating them.
“what would you like to order?” su ruoyan saw that qiao hongtao had not spoken for a long time and directly asked.
upon hearing the question, qiao hongtao seemed to wake up from a dream and said,””i’ll get a candied pineapple caramelized egg, a fried mantou, a sanya pork, and a nianyao cake.”
“please wait a moment.” su ruoyan noted.
then, he passed the menu to yuan zhou who was waiting by the partition.
seeing yuan zhou about to enter the kitchen and start cooking, jiang changxi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said,””boss yuan, i wonder if you have collected all the dishes of the 100 styles of rice cuisine?”
ever since the 100 styles of rice cuisines was served, jiang changxi had been working hard to find a kind of rice-made food that yuan zhou didn’t know how to cook. it was the queen’s spirit to form a relationship with the master chef restaurant.
Now, it seemed that she was just looking for abuse. There was nothing Yuan Zhou didn’t know how to do, but she still enjoyed it.
It was also a blessing to find many new and uncommon rice products.
“What do you want to eat?” Yuan Zhou asked directly.
“I heard that rice can be used to make sugar. Is that true?” Jiang Changxi said.
It was not a problem to boil oil with soybeans, sesame, and peanuts, and it was also common to boil sugar with sugar from sugar canes, beets, and malt. But now, it was too much to say that rice could be boiled into sugar?
Wu Yungui’s ears perked up. He had never heard of this before. Even Qiao Hongtao, who was sitting beside him, felt that it was fresh.
“Yes, it can only be used to make caramels.” Yuan Zhou said concisely.
Yuan Zhou was well aware of the idea of making sugar with rice. Although he had never done it before, it was theoretically possible. It required the addition of some malt as the base. Strictly speaking, the 100 styles of rice cuisine could only be made with rice. However, just like the leaves of the vaccinous rice, the malt pulp could only be regarded as a seasoning here. Therefore, Yuan Zhou still counted it as part of the 100 styles of rice cuisine.
“Eh, so rice can really be used to make sugar. I wonder if it can be used to boil oil?” Wu Yungui’s imagination ran wild.
Even Qiao Hongtao was wondering if the taste of sugar made from rice would be good and sweet enough.
However, Jiang Changxi’s focus was different. She vaguely knew something about this matter, but she wasn’t sure. Now, she was very sure about it because it had been stamped by the authority.
“Do I need to book this in advance?” Jiang Changxi said.
“It needs to be fermented. It needs to be decided a week in advance.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Boss Yuan, do you have fatty rice here?” Jiang Changxi asked.
This wasn’t to make things difficult, but out of curiosity. Fatty rice was actually not much different from popcorn, and some places even called popcorn fatty rice.
It wasn’t for himself, but when he was chatting with a friend some time ago, the other party said that he had basically not seen fatty rice. Popcorn and sweet rice could be seen everywhere, but it was a pity that fatty rice and sweet rice were basically gone.
“This also needs to be reserved in advance.” Yuan Zhou said directly.
That was the confidence of a master chef. As long as it was a dish that had appeared before, Yuan Zhou felt that there was nothing he couldn’t cook. If there was … Well, sorry, there were no “if” s.
“Then help me make a reservation.” Jiang Changxi directly signaled su Ruoyan to record it.
Having solved the problem of Jiang Changxi, Yuan Zhou immediately went to the kitchen and started to cook.
From Qiao Hongtao’s position, he could clearly see Yuan Zhou’s actions. Therefore, he was directly frightened in the following time.
Although he was born in a family that provoked his mother and was an authentic steamed bun, the dish that provoked his mother was passed down only to the daughter and not to the man. Qiao Hongtao really didn’t know how to cook.
Just because he didn’t know how to cook didn’t mean that he was blind. As soon as Yuan Zhou raised his hand and dropped the knife, the whole chicken on the chopping board immediately became pieces obediently. With a quick glance, he found that they were all of the same size.
Just by looking at the rough movements just now, he definitely wouldn’t have thought that the work done would be so meticulous. But the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.
“It seems that the cooking skills that can attract Wu Hai are indeed unique.” Qiao Hongtao’s expectations slowly rose.
Jiang Changxi and Wu Yungui were also observing Qiao Hongtao without a trace.
