2389 Magic power that speeds up
“It seems like the foodie’s eyes are still bright. He actually discovered it so early.” Yuan Zhou got the menu from si Jinning and the others.
At a glance, he recognized that it was a dish from the ethnic cuisines. Although there were only a few dishes, he was indeed the first person who had opened this new cuisines.
She raised her head and looked at si Jinning and his disciple curiously.”I don’t think he’s a chef. I wonder what he does.”
Although he was a little curious, Yuan Zhou didn’t think too much about it since it was business time. Instead, he restrained his thoughts and devoted himself to cooking.
“Every time I feel depressed, I feel refreshed just by watching Boss Yuan cook. Then, I can eat some of boss Yuan’s dishes and my life will be perfect.” A long-haired girl with an oval face said to the person beside her.
His brows, which were originally slightly furrowed, had now completely relaxed. Clearly, what he had just said was true.
“I can tell. This chef is indeed very handsome. He looks quite pleasing to the eye.” Liu Xu leaned back in her chair with her chin in her hands.
Looking at Yuan Zhou’s smooth and natural movements and his face, she felt he was quite good-looking. It was her first time accompanying her friend to this restaurant for a meal. Although she had heard about him many times and also read many reports about him, she had never had a deep understanding of him.
Because Liu Xu’s goal all along was to not cook for herself and find someone who could cook, she really didn’t know much about cooking. Unless she decided to choose this person, she would only try to understand more.
“Ahem … Boss Yuan already has a fiancée.” The long-haired Li Juan coughed twice and quickly reminded her good friend who looked very flirtatious.
“Oh … That’s a pity.” Liu Xu’s thin eyebrows twitched, and the corners of her eyes and the tip of her brows naturally revealed a flirtatious look.
The voice dragged out with a little bit of charm, which could make people’s bones go soft. It was obvious that he had the strength.
Yuan Zhou, who was cooking seriously, had no idea that he had almost been taken in by a fierce beauty who was comparable to Queen Jiang just now. He only felt a little cold all over.
“Master, are we really not going to inform Little Junior Sister?” Si Hongyuan felt that as the eldest senior brother, he could try to fight for his Junior Sister.
This was to prevent his Little Junior Sister from getting a shock when she suddenly saw the person who was supposed to be in Gusu appearing here.
“No need, we’ll be able to meet in a while anyway.” Si Jinning looked at si Hongyuan with disdain.
Si Hongyuan was speechless. What could his master do? he could only do as he wished. He could only apologize to his Little Junior Sister in his heart.
In just a short chat, the first dish was served.
An extremely fresh smell hit their noses and lingered for a long time. Only when the dishes were placed on the table did the two of them snap out of their daze. It was simply too fresh.
When they looked down at the dishes on the table, the two of them took a deep breath at the same time. They didn’t know how to describe their feelings at this moment.
The snow-white plate was also filled with snow-white ingredients. The thin and long shapes were all the same white. At a glance, one would think that they were the same ingredient, but when they got closer, they realized that they were actually not quite the same.
One of the colors was whiter, while the other was a bit like the color of rice. However, no matter the size or color of the ingredients, they were all processed very similar. With the White porcelain plate as a foil, it made people feel that they were very unified at first glance.
“This braised chicken shreds looks so good. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it. I was lucky enough to try it once, but it didn’t look as fair and clean as this.” Si Jinning said.
“Is it uncle Fang Shifang? aren’t their ancestors the Imperial chefs of the Qing Palace?” Si Hongyuan had some impression of Fang Shi.
He had never tasted Fang Shi’s cooking before, but that did not stop him from knowing how good Fang Shi was. Fang Shi’s grandfather was a Royal Chef, so it was not too late for him to pass down his skills to Fang Shi.
He opened a private restaurant that was very popular. Those who were not capable had no way to eat there. Only regular customers could bring them there to eat. It was very famous in Gusu. He had seen Fang Shi in person before. It was with his master, but it was only once.
However, because of its unique characteristics, it left a deep impression.
“Even imperial chef Fang’s signature dish doesn’t look as good as this. It really looks like the color of snow.” Si Jinning said.
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and wanted to try the taste. The main reason was that the fragrance was very alluring and kept tempting people to eat it.
In fact, the dish of braised chicken shreds was very simple. It just consisted of chicken and winter bamboo shoots. In other words, it was just two ordinary ingredients used by Yuan Zhou to give off a high-class feeling.
The braised shredded chicken wasn’t placed randomly. It was as if it was consciously placed into a big circle. The two ingredients blended with each other and stacked together to form a round circle. It was very beautiful.
With one chopstick, he picked up not only the shredded chicken but also the winter bamboo shoots and put them into his mouth. The smooth and tender chicken meat and the crisp and tender winter bamboo shoots, one soft and one hard, worked together. As soon as he bit into the soft and tender part of the shredded chicken, he immediately felt the crisp and clear taste of the winter bamboo shoots. They were both very delicious ingredients. When the two were added together, it was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
There was also a faint sweetness in the freshness, which once again complemented the taste of the freshness. The ancient people said that the freshness would drop the eyebrows, and they were simply not lying!
It was also the source of the extremely fresh fragrance from before. The more si Jinning ate, the more satisfied he became. As for his previous thought of wanting to see how authentic this dish was, he couldn’t remember it now. His mind was filled with the thought of eating the whole dish.
Si Jinning felt that it was a sin to put food on a plate. Thus, in order not to commit a crime, si Jinning ate with all his might at a speed that did not match his age.
“Do the dishes in this restaurant have magic power? they can even increase one’s eating speed?” Si Hongyuan was puzzled by his master’s speed, which was a third faster than usual.
Of course, if his mouth was not covered with saliva, his question would seem more reasonable.
Although he really wanted to eat it, his master didn’t say anything. Si Hongyuan’s deep respect for his master made him not dare to be presumptuous. He desperately endured the test of the fragrance and was just short of reciting the Tao Te Ching to clear his mind.
Fortunately, si Jinning was fast, and the torture was over very quickly. The main reason was that the dishes were finished, and the plates that were as clean as new were no longer as fancy, which reduced the temptation.
“I forgot to ask Hongyuan to eat with me.” It was only then that si Jinning realized that he hadn’t asked his disciple to eat with him.
In his heart, he secretly made up his mind to let his disciple try one of the next dishes. This way, he could be considered to have eaten it.
Si Hongyuan had no idea what his master was thinking, because his attention was completely focused on the dishes that had just been served.
At first glance, it was a sea of red. Although the colors were different, they were all deep and light red, making people feel warm.
Moreover, there was also an overbearing spicy smell that rushed straight to the tip of his nose, making it impossible for him to ignore it even if he wanted to.
Si Hongyuan’s spicy chicken had arrived.
Si Jinning, who had just raised a flag, was incited by the aroma. His first reaction was to pick up his chopsticks and start eating. With such a wonderful taste, how could he possibly remember who had ordered the dishes? the main point was that they were all edible once they were on the table.
