2330 There's a difficulty
Looking at the mission, Yuan Zhou remained silent for quite a while before he said,””System, my little comrade, have you seen something dirty recently? what are the universe and six directions? Immortal cultivation?”
The system didn’t explain the mission that he was confused about. Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and concluded that the universal six directions should be a kind of cooking skill, just like the flower beating four doors.
Don’t think that the name is ridiculous. If you were the one who created a technique, would you name it “the ensemble of dog and egg”?
This was not only an insult to aesthetics, but also an insult to intelligence. Through the information provided by the system, Yuan Zhou learned that the heaven and earth six directions was the specialty of the Imperial chef Sun Han of the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, Sun Han called himself “Wanderer Gujian.” According to records, he was a master swordsman. Moreover, he had never taken any disciples in his life, so it was normal that his “universal six directions” had not been passed down.
“To put it bluntly, the four gates of flower means four directions, so the six directions of heaven and earth should be six directions. Take the cabbage with golden edges as an example. The cabbage fried with the four gates of flower should be golden on all sides and jade white on the front and back. Now, if it’s the six directions of heaven and earth, it should be golden on the top and bottom?” Yuan Zhou pondered carefully.
He simulated the previous conclusion in his mind and found that it was theoretically possible. However, the four flower fighting techniques was already a mature skill, and now he needed to change it to six directions, which was indeed more difficult to operate.
The most important thing was that he only had three days.
“It should be fine. I can try it. I’ll just have golden-rimmed cabbage for supper.” Yuan Zhou stroked his chin and made up his mind.
“Ta ta ta”
Yuan Zhou went straight to work. After he made his decision, he went to the kitchen from the second floor and took out a cabbage to process it according to the requirements of the Golden-rimmed cabbage.
Then, he poured oil into the empty pot until it was smoking and slowly heated it up. Finally, he poured in the cabbage and stir-fried it twice. After that, he poured in vinegar and cooking wine to start the fire.
“BOOM!”
The big fire started to burn in the pot. Yuan Zhou’s dish moved along with the scoop and shuttled back and forth in the flame like a nimble swallow, suddenly left and then right, up and down, front and back. It moved naturally and nimbly, even the big fire couldn’t stop it.
Bearing in mind that it was different from the previous four dishes, Yuan Zhou intentionally moved closer to this side when he was changing. When he heard the slight crisp sound of the flame licking the vegetables and estimated that the time was almost up, he decisively removed the vegetables from the flame and put them on the plate. His first attempt was considered complete.
Not only were the four edges of the Golden-rimmed cabbage on the plate yellow, but the front and back sides were also yellow. He flipped the cabbage with his chopsticks and found that the color was slightly deeper than the previous golden-rimmed cabbage.
He picked up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it twice. As expected, the crispness and tenderness had decreased a lot, and there was a little burnt taste instead. This was a sign that it had been overcooked.
In addition, because the front and back sides had also been cooked, the water content had been greatly reduced, and it was not as crisp as before, losing the crisp and tender texture of the Golden-rimmed cabbage.
“It seems that I still need some time to train this universe six directions. However, I feel that the direction should be right. It’s a little difficult to choose between adding two other directions to the four directions. I need time to slowly get used to it.” After Yuan Zhou recorded his first experience in the notebook one by one, he started the second round of practice. Only then did he understand why the universal six directions could be regarded as a mission. It was indeed a little difficult.
The pub was bustling with activity, so was Yuan Zhou’s place. With Wu Hai, who had a nose sharper than a dog ‘s, at home, Yuan Zhou was naturally attracted to the place when he was cooking. The husband sang and the wife followed, so the bear naturally followed.
At the same time, Yuan Zhou’s gold-rimmed cabbages also had an owner.
Wu Hai didn’t refuse anyone. Even Yuan Zhou’s experimental dishes were much more delicious than those cooked by others. Anyway, he just needed to be responsible for eating. Wu Shou indicated that this was his innate instinct and didn’t need to spend much effort.
Very soon, a new day arrived.
The sun had just risen above the horizon when it was bathed by a light rain. After a short sunny rain in the morning, the ground was a little wet, but it didn’t hinder Yuan Zhou’s daily exercise.
It wasn’t raining anymore, but Yuan Zhou still decided not to eat the instant noodles in the morning. He would just keep the accounts. After shouting at the boss, Yuan Zhou continued jogging and returned to his restaurant not long after.
After washing up, Yuan Zhou came to the kitchen and felt a little awkward as usual. What should he make for breakfast?
“I haven’t had congee in a long time. Why don’t we make congee for breakfast today?” Yuan Zhou felt like eating the congee.
“Forget about ordinary plain porridge. It’s not good to prepare your own pickled vegetables. It’s better to make a tasty porridge.” Yuan Zhou rummaged through the recipes of various cuisines in his mind and searched for them slowly.
In the end, he chose the mixed pig porridge from Cantonese cuisine.
“There’s meat in this dish. Wu Hai will definitely like it. ” Yuan Zhou muttered.
Yuan Zhou felt that he was a good boss. Yesterday, Wu Hai helped him to taste the dishes. Today, he prepared his favorite congee as a thank you gift.
As for what Wu Hai liked, it was very simple. It was fine as long as it was meat.
Previously, Wu Hai had missed the first day of the 5th anniversary activity due to objective reasons. For Wu Hai, it didn’t matter if he missed the activity as long as he could make up for it. However, it would be a tragedy if he missed two big days of the new dishes.
Therefore, the next day, Wu Hai ordered a full pork shoulder banquet to make up for the loss.
Yuan Zhou’s restaurant didn’t have a full pork shoulder feast. It was Wu Hai who ordered all the pork shoulders of various cuisines, such as “Dongpo Pork shoulder” and “rock sugar pork shoulder”, which were all common dishes. There were also “beef Buddha roasted pork shoulder”,”crystal pork shoulder”,”tiger skin pork shoulder” and so on.
Anyway, he had already tried the cooking method of the pig knuckle once and his mouth was full of oil. If it wasn’t for the help of the bear, Wu Hai would have almost been unable to walk out of the restaurant. He couldn’t help that the pig knuckle would be greasy and bloated after eating too much.
“Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling”
Now that he had decided what to make for breakfast, Yuan Zhou immediately took action. He took out the steaming hot pig’s giblets provided by the system to wash and soak them.
As the name suggested, mixed pig porridge was porridge made from mixed pig. It had a remarkable feature, which was its freshness. Therefore, Guangdong Province usually served it as a late-night snack. Many people waited until midnight to drink a bowl of fresh mixed pig porridge. One could imagine the taste.
He cleaned the specially made claypot, added water and rice, and began to cook. Such claypots were very big. Usually, Yuan Zhou cooked the amount of congee for one whole team of people in one claypot, with a total of three claypots. In this way, he could not only cook the congee repeatedly but also ensure the freshness of the congee.
The claypot was naturally provided by the system, and its quality was guaranteed. It could be used after a simple washing. It didn’t need to be soaked in cold water for a long time like the newly bought claypot, or cook a pot of porridge and then pour it out before using the new claypot.
After the porridge was cooked until the flowers bloomed, Yuan Zhou put the chopped pig’s giblets into the pot one by one. A strong fresh fragrance immediately spread out. In order to ensure the fresh, tender and smooth taste, Yuan Zhou put the pig’s giblets into a small clay pot, which was prepared for Yin ya. Of course, his breakfast today was also in it.
As for the customers ‘food, they would only put them in when breakfast was about to start.
Yuan Zhou had received a message from Yin ya in the morning that she had to go to the company in advance due to an urgent matter. Therefore, he had prepared breakfast for her first. With the food container provided by the system, the freshness could be guaranteed for a period of time.
