2613 Chapter 157 the slowest eating dish
In the past, Qu Yun had tried using two layers of seals to seal the smell. He had even tried using three layers of seals, but they had been useless.
When they saw that Yuan Zhou also sealed the seal with multi-layer lotus leaves, they became curious about how he did it.
The outer layer of the Lotus leaf was already a little brittle, as it could break if one was not careful. For example, the outer layer of Wu kun’s lotus leaf had already broken. Xiang Yang’s lotus leaf, which had always been careful, also had cracks on it. It was on the verge of breaking, as if it would break at any time. Only the experienced Qu Yun lotus leaf was relatively intact.
The inner layer of the Lotus leaf looked not only emerald green, but also very moist. The feeling of moisture seemed to be not only caused by the water vapor in the process of stewing.
He touched the edge of the tea and found that it was indeed well-made and had been prepared beforehand.
“I wonder what method head chef Yuan is using to keep the water from evaporating.”
Qu Yun studied it for a while but couldn’t figure out anything. He could only give up and focus on the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
He carefully saw a corner of the Lotus leaf, which was as wet as a thick layer of cloth, being lifted. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, which had no smell just now, immediately had a strong wine fragrance.
Perhaps it was because the opening was too small, and the fragrance was too strong, it was particularly strong. The aroma of the wine was not just a word, but it was also a vivid demonstration for Zhan Changfa and the others.
Even Zhan Changfa, who was not facing the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, was mesmerized by the aroma of the wine, let alone Qu Yun and the other two who were facing it directly. One could tell from the sudden increase in their speed.
As the jar was fully opened, the rich aroma of wine slowly wafted out. Another rich and mellow fragrance appeared, like the White clouds emerging from the glaze or the wind blowing through the snow. It was complex and varied, but also mellow and moving.
It was like eating a cool and refreshing ice cream on a hot summer day or drinking a bowl of fragrant hot soup in the bitter winter. It was a kind of satisfaction from the soul to the body.
Before they even ate, they felt as if their souls had left their bodies. They couldn’t help but close their eyes and sniff at the food faster, afraid that if they were too slow, the fragrance would be taken away by the air and they wouldn’t be able to smell it.
It took a while, probably after they had gotten used to such a strong fragrance, for the few of them to finally move. They carefully tilted the jar towards the direction of the big soup bowl.
“Hua la, Hua la”
The thick soup and all kinds of fat and juicy ingredients were poured into the bowl little by little with force, and the increasingly rich fragrance spread in all directions.
“This is the only food that can make Buddha abandon Zen and jump over the wall to eat.” Qu Yun said emotionally.
There really wasn’t a time where he could sigh with emotion more deeply than at this moment. He had always thought that the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ he made was definitely a treasure. However, in front of Yuan Zhou’s jar of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’, he really didn’t have the confidence to say such words.
It wasn’t that his food wasn’t delicious. On the contrary, it was very delicious. It wasn’t the usual kind of delicious, but it just couldn’t be compared to Yuan Zhou ‘s.
“Look at the perfect body of this abalone and this sea cucumber. Not to mention eating it, just pinching it will make your face wet. And this smooth bird’s nest and shark’s fin, not to mention these. I don’t even know when these two ingredients can have such a strong sense of existence.” Xiang Yang almost buried his face in the bowl.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the distribution method that they had agreed on previously and the fact that there were people pulling him from the side, he would definitely have moved his mouth first and entered with his entire head.
The person who was pulling Xiang Yang was Xiaowang, who had finally come in after looking forward to the stars and the moon. He was also lucky to have come in when the guests next to Xiang Yang had finished eating and left. He had come in when Zhan Changfa and the others were engrossed in the fragrance of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’.
He was the last to enter and managed to maintain a certain level of consciousness, just enough to block Xiang Yang from getting closer and closer to the bowl of soup.
At little Wang’s reminder, the few of them finally woke up from their dreams and began to divide the soup. After a struggle, they basically divided it evenly. Qu Yun couldn’t wait to scoop a spoonful of thick soup and put it into his mouth first.
As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt as if his entire body and mind had calmed down. The mellow and touching taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and countless fireworks exploded in his mind. The taste of various top-grade seafood and other ingredients was concentrated into this small spoon of soup, and the unparalleled taste spread in his mouth.
A smile appeared on Qu Yun’s face. He didn’t know what he felt, but his expression was very peaceful, unlike the excitement of eating other dishes. It was as if the whole world had suddenly become quiet.
It wasn’t just him. The other people had similar performances. Even little Wang, who had been impetuous because he had come in later, had calmed down.
He slowly chewed the soup in his mouth. Even though it didn’t have any grains, the thick jelly-like soup still made his teeth feel like he was biting into something solid.
They savored the soup carefully and swallowed it slowly. It took them nearly a minute to finish tasting the soup.
This was probably the slowest dish in the store. Zhan Changfa and the rest tried their best to slowly taste each bite. It was not that they did not want to finish it quickly, but they felt that they would miss something if they finished it so quickly. Thus, they tried their best to slow down. As a result, even though the few dishes they ordered had been served, no one seemed to be interested in it.
This was definitely a rare scene in master chef Restaurant. When the other diners saw this scene, they immediately called su Ruoyan over to ask what they had ordered. As long as their wallets allowed them to order, they had already reserved a portion. It was clear that Zhan Changfa and the others should be able to attract people’s appetites if they were to be on a food broadcast.
The taste of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ was only known after it was in one’s mouth. Even the dishes that were ordered later on were still as delicious as ever. What Zhan Changfa and the rest were still thinking about was the mellow taste of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’.
Originally, Zhan Changfa and the rest had already decided to finish the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’. Other than Xiang Yang and Wu kun, they were all going back to Fuzhou. There were many things in the Association that they had to settle in a hurry.
They had already reached their limit after staying for a week. After they finished the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’, they each reserved a portion of it and extended their time to go back silently. There was nothing that couldn’t be solved by phone or video calls. There was definitely something that couldn’t be solved by Yuan Zhou.
It was early in the morning. Probably because it was the winter solstice, Chengdu was covered in a thick mist in the morning to celebrate. The Golden sunlight shone on the ground through the White mist.
The flowers, grass, and trees were shrouded in the White fog, and some of their shadows could be seen. It was not very clear, but it was this mysterious scene that added a bit of a festive atmosphere to the ‘winter solstice’.
Yuan Zhou always followed the season. Therefore, he naturally prepared steamed dumplings for everyone for breakfast. Steamed dumplings were also dumplings, weren’t they?
