“Little Yuan’s speed is very fast. You’ve already finished?” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

“Yes, because I haven’t had lunch yet.” Yuan Zhou said.

“As a chef, you should take care of your body. You can do business after lunch.” Zhou Shijie warned.

“Usually, that’s the case. This time is an exception.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

“I wonder what dish boss Yuan will cook today?” Liu Tong stretched his neck and looked over curiously.

“Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Have you asked?” Zhou Shijie turned his head and glared at Liu Tong with dissatisfaction.

“Master, you clearly brought me here to eat.” Liu Tong whispered sneakily.

Of course, his voice was so low that Yuan Zhou didn’t even hear it.

“This is a parcel from old man ke. Where should I put it?” Zhou Shijie took a delivery box from Liu Tong’s hand and asked.

“Give it to me,” Yuan Zhou received it and then turned around to put it on the shelf on the first floor of the pub.

Yuan Zhou delivered the express delivery very quickly. He couldn’t let people wait for too long and thus came out in less than three minutes.

Generally speaking, Yuan Zhou paid a lot of attention to some things. For example, when he was chatting with someone on the internet, he would definitely tell the person who was chatting that he had something to do and had to leave the meeting.

After the matter was settled, Yuan Zhou would also send it back.

At this moment, Liu Tong had already observed the entire courtyard.

“Boss Yuan has also started to sell crabs?” Since he couldn’t tell the truth, Liu Tong could only turn his head and look at the two big pools on the side.

He immediately saw the large crab that had come out to bask in the sun.

“I haven’t started selling it yet, I’m just raising it.” Yuan Zhou said.

“What crab is this? it looks very well-colored.” As a Top Chef, Liu Tong naturally knew the quality of the ingredients.

this crab’s large claws were powerful, while its small claws climbed quickly. it was big and fat, with a full belly button on the female crab and thick cheeks on the male crab. clearly, it was a top-grade crab with fat male and yellow female.

“shengfang crab, it’s indeed not bad.” Yuan Zhou said directly.

“Fragrant victory crab? Aren’t there no more authentic ones now?” Liu Tong asked in surprise.

“Mine is the authentic one.” Yuan Zhou said indifferently.

“This …” Liu Tong revealed an expression of disbelief. But when he thought of Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills, he didn’t dare to reveal his disbelief. He could only look at the crab curiously and then at his master.

He was hoping that Zhou Shijie would ask him a question and then answer his doubts.

“Alright, don’t stare at other people’s ingredients the moment you come. What did I ask you to do?” Obviously, Zhou Shijie didn’t activate his mind-reading skill. He pulled Liu Tong to the small table and sat down.

“…” Liu Tong had no choice but to follow him and sit down.

“Uncle Zhou, Liu Tong, this way please. We’ve prepared a few home-cooked Lu dishes today.” Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and gestured.

“It’s actually Lu cuisine?” Liu Tong looked at the table curiously.

Sure enough, there were a few classic Shandong dishes on the table. There were famous dishes like oil-fried conch, steamed fish, and a crab.

Liu tongcai had personally cooked the crab for Yuan Zhou to eat last time, during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“The fragrance is contained but not exposed. Good dish.” Zhou Shijie praised directly.

That’s right. Although the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou were still steaming, the fragrance of the dishes didn’t spread all over the courtyard. Instead, it was contained in the dishes. There was only a faint fragrance in the air.

This was also the reason why Liu Tong didn’t notice that Yuan Zhou was cooking Shandong cuisine at the beginning.

“There aren’t many dishes. There’s still a snack called shredded Chinese yam. Serve it after you’re done.” Yuan Zhou said.

“That’s enough. It’s just the three of us. Liu Tong, you should eat less. ” Zhou Shijie first nodded to Yuan Zhou affably and then turned his head to warn Liu Tong fiercely.

Liu Tong felt helpless as he looked at his master’s face change, which was comparable to that of Sichuan Opera.

This should be the legendary saying that there is no harm without comparison.

After all, Zhou Shijie’s attitude toward him and Yuan Zhou were very different.

“Then let’s start eating.” However, Yuan Zhou wasn’t affected at all. He directly reached out his hand and said.

“Okay. I haven’t even had breakfast yet. I’ve been waiting for you, little Yuan,” Zhou Shijie picked up the chopsticks and said smilingly.

“I won’t be polite then, boss Yuan.” Liu Tong also raised his chopsticks and prepared to eat.

“Please enjoy,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Liu Tong’s first target was naturally the racing crab that he had cooked a few days ago. He wanted to see the difference between his and Yuan Zhou ‘s.

At the same time, he wanted to see if there was any room for him to secretly learn.

That’s right. Liu Tong had never thought that he could do it better than Yuan Zhou.

Unlike what Zhou Shijie had said, Liu Tong did not come here to have a meal. He came here with the intention of stealing Zhou Shijie’s lessons.

After all, even if one didn’t like Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills, one couldn’t deny his cooking skills. Liu Tong couldn’t bring himself to eat on his own, but it was a different story since he was invited by his master.

Liu Tong had already planned to carefully taste the dishes to see if there was anything he could use.

This was called absorbing the strong points of a Hundred Schools of Thought.

Liu Tong felt that he was really a clever little boy.

When he saw the crab on the table, Liu Tong felt that it was like a pillow that came to him when he was drowsy. He got it without any effort. The same dish was better to compare and ponder over.

Therefore, Liu Tong directly picked up the crab with his chopsticks.

Seeing Liu Tong’s reaction, Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou looked at each other and then started to eat seriously without saying anything.

Liu Tong, who was standing aside, had already stuffed a crab into his mouth.

The crab contest was originally about using non-crab ingredients to stir-fry the fresh and delicious taste of the crab. The most important main ingredients were yellow croaker and eggs.

This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t use the ingredients provided by the system. However, when Liu Tongyi put the crab into his mouth, he still found the difference between the crab and the one he cooked.

The moment the crab cooked by Yuan Zhou entered his mouth, due to the stimulation of the warm oral cavity, a strong fragrance was immediately aroused, like the fragrance of eggs that had just been put into the pot.

“Ba Ji Ba Ji”. After he chewed, he couldn’t taste the taste of an egg at all. Instead, it was like the fat and tender crab meat that was just steamed. With just a slight chew, the fresh and slightly sweet taste filled his mouth.

The soft and tender crab meat was smooth and tender when chewed, but it didn’t have the fishy taste of an egg at all. Even after eating and swallowing, there was still the taste of crab roe in his mouth, as if he had really eaten crab meat with chopsticks.

Furthermore, the crab meat was stir-fried with crab roe, making it extremely delicious.

“How did this happen?” Liu Tong couldn’t believe his eyes after he finished the first bite. After being stunned for a while, he picked up another bite and stuffed it into his mouth.

The speed was so fast that Liu Tong didn’t care about anything else and directly started to chew.

“It’s delicious, it’s too delicious. Why do I feel like I’m eating crab roe? whether it’s the taste or the fragrance, it’s authentic crab roe. Could it be that crab roe was added to it?” Liu Tong was puzzled and bewildered.

However, for the sake of his reputation as a chef, Liu Tong scratched his ears and cheeks in his heart, but he didn’t show any intention to ask.

At this moment, Zhou Shijie opened his mouth,””Little Yuan, the caviar in this crab dish is really ingenious. I didn’t expect that you would be able to cook it this time even though it was just a discussion last time.”

“Yes, I experimented by adding the back meat of the small yellow croaker after having its bones removed from the belly of a big yellow croaker. In the end, the processed March fish eggs were the best to make this crab.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

“It’s actually a combination of two kinds of fish. It’s also a big yellow croaker. Although its meat is rough, its belly is softer than the other parts. It’s also fatter and more tender than a small yellow croaker. Although the small yellow croaker’s meat is tender, it’s not as fat as a crab.”

Liu Tong immediately understood Yuan Zhou’s intention of cooking in such a way. After all, he was Zhou Shijie’s apprentice and could draw inferences from other cases.

“Looks like it was worth it to come here today.” Liu Tong was quite happy in the heart. Although he was eating the dishes indifferently on the surface, he was actually listening to the conversation between Yuan Zhou and his master with his ears perked up.

Later on, however, Zhou Shijie started to talk to Yuan Zhou about the personal cooking exhibition.
