Chapter 1232: Covering his face and leaving
As he thought about this, Zhou DA's chopsticks did not stop moving, and he directly aimed at the red braised pork in the bowl.
The square red braised meat on the plate was missing a piece, but the rest was still very complete. The corners were also very neat. When Zhou da picked up another piece, he touched the other red braised meat, and the meat in the bowl trembled a little. It was like a bowl of shaking cold noodles, full of gel.
"Oh, it's delicious." Zhou da squinted his eyes as he praised.
Zhou da still swallowed the entire piece in one bite. The red braised meat was overflowing with colloid and fat, and the fragrance was wrapped around his lips and teeth. It made people's faces turn gentle.
"It's so delicious. " Zhou da swallowed the meat in his mouth, then he squinted his eyes and picked up another piece to stuff into his mouth.
Zhou da didn't even need to look to know where the fermented glutinous rice red braised pork was placed, as well as the place where it had just been picked.
The red braised meat that he put into his mouth again had some rice grains of fermented glutinous rice on it. Normally, after the rice grains were fermented into fermented glutinous rice, the taste would be dry and not delicious at all.
Because the rice grains had been soaked and fermented until they were very soft, so soft that only the outer shell of the rice grain was left, the essence in the middle of the rice grains had long been volatile into the rice wine, so the fermented rice wine was naturally not delicious.
In the past, chefs would directly scoop the rice grains out and only use the fermented rice soup. However, the fermented rice braised pork cooked by Yuan Zhou had fermented rice on top of it.
"I didn't expect the fermented glutinous rice to be so delicious after being fermented. Although it's neither sticky nor chewy, it's soft and there's plenty of wine juice inside. The taste is really good." Zhou da exclaimed in admiration as he ate.
Zhou DA's behavior was really not strange at all, because there were many people who ate like this in the restaurant. They shook their heads in agreement as they ate, and they ate very quickly.
That's right. The regular customers of Yuan Zhou's restaurant had long been trained to speak in a clear and fluent manner while eating and also to eat very quickly.
The key point was that the red braised meat in his mouth was even more delicious when the wine was mixed with it. It was sweet and not greasy at all, but the fragrance of the meat was very rich. There was also the feeling of oil droplets filling his mouth, making Zhou da unable to stop eating at all.
When he picked it up this time, Zhou da realized that four pieces of the red braised pork had disappeared from his plate, and there were only two pieces of meat left on his plate.
Yuan Zhou's plate of fermented glutinous rice and red braised pork with soy sauce had a total of nine pieces. He had eaten three pieces just now, but now there were only two pieces left on the plate, which meant that four pieces were missing.
"Where's my meat?" Zhou da asked as he looked at the plate subconsciously.
"It's with me," Zhang Ye said directly.
"President?" Zhou da turned his head to look and saw President Zhang happily swallowing the red braised meat in his bowl.
"You forgot? We agreed that I'll try it too. Alright, the remaining two pieces of meat are yours. " President Zhang said generously.
"Alright, thank you, President." Zhou da nodded his head, then turned back to continue eating.
"Something doesn't seem right?" Zhou da thought about it subconsciously as he picked up the meat, but before he could sort out his thoughts, the meat on the chopsticks all attracted his attention.
"Let's eat the meat first. " Zhou da stuffed it into his mouth.
Zhou da chewed and swallowed the last two pieces of meat slowly. Then, there was only a layer of soup left on the plate. At this moment, a hand stretched over and took the plate away.
"President?" Zhou da looked over and saw Zhang Ye's usual serious face.
"You didn't order any rice. I have half a bowl of rice left, but I've finished my food, so I'll use your soup to soak the rice. I can't waste it." Zhang San explained his actions clearly.
Zhou da looked at Zhang Yan's small bowl. There was indeed half a bowl of rice in it, and it was exactly half a bowl, no more, no less.
"Yes, President." Zhou da thought of the deliciousness of the red braised pork with fermented glutinous rice just now. He held back the polite words of inviting Zhang Yan to eat and nodded his head.
"Yes." Zhang Ye nodded and directly poured the rice into the plate that was just filled with fermented glutinous rice and braised pork.
After all, no matter how much he poured, there would still be a layer of soup left on the plate. This way, he could finish the soup as much as possible.
The soup on the plate was dark amber in color. The moment the crystal clear and full rice grains were poured in, they were stained with the soup.
"Da da." Zhang Ye quickly stirred the rice with his chopsticks, and the soup completely covered the White rice.
The rice was wrapped in an amber-colored soup, and the glistening drops of oil could be seen under the light, looking particularly tempting.
"It's fragrant. " Zhang Ye secretly took a deep breath and started eating.
The moment the rice entered his mouth, Zhang Yan could not help but sigh. It was too delicious.
It was like the rice soaked in oil soup that could only be eaten once in a long time when he was young. The rice grains were wrapped in rich oil beads, which had the fragrance of the rice and the taste of the dish itself.
But even after eating the delicious rice in soup, Zhang Yan still did not let Zhou da go. The rest of the steamed meat and another dish did not escape Zhang Yan's chopsticks.
Fortunately, due to his old age, Zhang Yan didn't have as much of an appetite as Wu Hai. He only had a small taste of the remaining dishes and only ate one-third of them.
When the plates and bowls on the table were all empty, Zhou da stared at them for a long time before he let out a barely noticeable sigh. He didn't even raise his head, nor did he greet Zhang Yan. He just covered his face and walked out of the restaurant quickly.
"Not bad, you know what's good and what's bad," Zhang Yan looked at Zhou DA's back and nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he turned his head and said to Yuan Zhou,""Little Yuan, I'll go back now. I'll come back next time."
"Alright, President. Take care." Yuan Zhou put down the dish in his hand and then nodded his head.
Just like that, Zhang Ji left the restaurant in satisfaction. When he left, he even touched his stomach without a trace. It was obvious that he had eaten a little too much for dinner today.
Right at that moment, a fragrant wind blew over. Yuan Zhou saw Yin ya enter the restaurant in a red shirt and black long pants.
The red shirt made Yin ya's skin look snow-white and her hair jet-black, which was very pretty.
As a matter of fact, during the business period of Yuan Zhou's restaurant, even if someone poured a whole bottle of perfume on himself and entered the restaurant, no one would be able to smell it. After all, the system had already isolated the smell in case it would affect the customers.
"What do you want to eat today?" Yuan Zhou lowered his hand and asked Yin ya while looking up at her.
"Pork liver, a bowl of plain white rice, and watermelon juice?" Yin ya found a place to sit down and directly ordered the dishes.
"That's all. There's also longan and red jujube tea," Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
"I don't want to drink hot water." Yin ya frowned.
"There are three more days. You can start drinking." Yuan Zhou said in a low voice.
"What?" Yin ya didn't understand what Yuan Zhou was talking about for a moment. But as soon as she asked, she realized that Yuan Zhou was talking about her period.
Because of what had happened last time, Yin ya only blushed a little before she nodded her head,"Alright, I'll change it to that. That's all."
"Alright, please wait a moment." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"By the way, are you going abroad soon?" Yin ya said hurriedly.
Actually, Yin ya didn't intend to come today. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get such a late seat. But when she heard that Yuan Zhou would go abroad soon, she couldn't help but come and ask.
"After all, we're all friends. It's normal to come over to ask." That was what Yin ya told herself.
