Chapter 1899: Osmanthus vegetable sauceTranslator: 549690339
“Revenge, this is definitely revenge.” Yuan Zhou muttered.
In the past, he could at least see the words on the wheel clearly. Now, the wheel spun even faster. Lu Xun said,”Only villains and systems were hard to raise.
It took about a minute and a half before it slowly stopped, and it stopped at the three words.
“No. 200, sand crab juice?” Yuan Zhou was a little surprised.
Yuan Zhou was a little disappointed that there was no pork sauce from Guizhou Province, but the sand crab juice was really unexpected.
The sand crab juice was actually a special sauce in GUI province. It was either too much or too bland. Just like the fruit Queen durian, people who liked it could eat durians until they were too hot, but those who didn’t like it couldn’t even smell it, let alone eat it.
The main problem was that Yuan Zhou didn’t have any of the Osmanthus dishes. The appearance of the sand crab juice was already a precedent.
GUI province, like Guizhou Province, was a place where ethnic minorities gathered. Therefore, many dishes had regional and ethnic characteristics, such as lamb shriveled soup. Of course, Guizhou Province also had beef shriveled soup.
Due to its obvious characteristics, it could absorb many kinds of flavors, which was the reason why Yuan Zhou was happy.
“GUI province is pretty good too. I’ll go down and take a look.” Yuan Zhou received the reward directly and planned to ponder about it before going to bed.
With the previous examples of salad dressing, blueberry jam, and shrimp sauce, the range of sauces rewarded by the system was very wide.
Apart from the fact that Yuan Zhou hadn’t collected all kinds of local and foreign cuisines, his current culinary skills were also steadily improving. Moreover, he was also walking on the road of independent innovation, intentionally or otherwise. He had his own unique characteristics. Otherwise, how do you think the “Yuan family dishes”, known as the world’s treasure house of delicacies, came from?
Sand crabs were a species of the same era as dinosaurs. They belonged to the Cretaceous era and were considered very ancient. It was a pity that dinosaurs had gone extinct, so they could not taste them.
“The sand crab sauce is out of GUI province and can’t be found anywhere else.” Yuan Zhou muttered.
There were many ways to eat sand crab sauce. It could be used as a dipping sauce with white-cut chicken or as a seasoning for cooking. The famous sand crab sauce with roasted beans in the North Sea was one of them.
“Tap, tap!”
Yuan Zhou came out of the room and went straight to the kitchen on the first floor. He then looked for new sauces in the middle of the cabinets that were already full of dazzling items.
It had been a long time since he had searched the kitchen carefully. He was shocked when he saw the things in the kitchen.
There were at least ten types of rice and flour. The flavors, hardness, and origin of the food were all different. There were also various ingredients and seasonings. If it weren’t for the system’s Black technology, even dozens of kitchens of this size wouldn’t be able to fit them all.
“If the world ends, how many people will be fed with the food in this kitchen?” Yuan Zhou thought to himself. Actually, if the system changed its profession and became a black technology system instead of the master chef system, it would still have a bright future.
Sand crab juice was a cured product, so it was different from other sauces. Anyway, it was not put together with the beef mince, and of course, the beef mince was not put together with the blueberry jam.
Although there were many things in the kitchen, Yuan Zhou was very familiar with them. Therefore, he got there very quickly. In the cabinet under the chopping board, a new label was tightly pasted on the sand crab juice. It was very obvious.
The system used the small ceramic jars that were similar to kimchi to store the food. There were two jars in total. Once they were carried out and opened, there was a fishy smell. Yuan Zhou’s five senses were very sensitive. Besides the fishy smell, he could also smell the saltiness and the smell of wine.
He took out a long white porcelain spoon and scooped up a spoonful. The fishy smell was even stronger, but it was mixed with other flavors and felt very special.
After putting it into a specially prepared small plate, Yuan Zhou took the taste-free chopsticks and dipped it into the sand crab juice to have a taste.
“I’ll try it. ”
Yuan Zhou had never eaten the sand crab before, but he had eaten quite a lot of other crabs. As the saying went, sea crabs were inferior to river crabs, river crabs were inferior to river crabs, and river crabs were inferior to Lake crabs.
However, these were only for eating crab meat, crab roe, and crab paste. However, sand crabs were different. The sand crab juice was made from fresh live crabs, and the whole crab was used. Therefore, one could see the shriveled sand crabs before eating them.
When he put it in his mouth, a fishy smell and the taste of wine entered his throat, followed by the spiciness of the ginger and garlic, as well as a faint sour and sweet taste.
After Yuan Zhou tasted it, he asked,”what you did is quite different from the traditional way. Did you change the recipe?”
“The system uses the most ancient and lost method of making sand crab juice, which belongs to the Ming Dynasty.” The system displayed.
“Eh, so it’s a lost sauce?” Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed,[yes, the sand crab sauce has been changed in the process of spreading, so the system keeps the oldest cooking method and the most common cooking method at the moment.]
Not to mention sauces, even changing dishes was a common thing, especially in ancient times. The first reason was because of the changes in living environment and materials. Second, many things were cherished by others, and they liked to hide some of it. Between master and disciple, they had to pay attention to the principle of ‘teaching the disciple to starve the master’, and many things became more and more different.
No wonder there were two jars. It turned out that one jar had an ancient flavor and one jar had a fresh flavor.
“It’s a pity that this sauce is not very useful. ” Yuan Zhou considered.
After all, unlike blueberry jam or beef mince, the green mustard could be used to serve steamed buns, bread, and even rice. The limitations of the sand crab juice were still quite large.
“Let’s put it aside for now. When we get the Qin cuisine, we can think about the Osmanthus cuisine. ” Yuan Zhou rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
A new day started with yang Shuxin’s call. He called early in the morning.
To be honest, even if Yuan Zhou had saved his contact, he was still stunned when he saw the name “yang Shuxin”. It took him quite a while to recall that he was a famous ice sculpting master who had competed with Yuan Zhou on sculpting Nine Dragons previously.
Later on, he was conquered by Yuan Zhou’s “one dragon in the clouds turning into Nine Dragons.”
Yang Shuxin called to invite Yuan Zhou to be the judge of the ice sculpting competition. However, Yuan Zhou refused. As a chef, he was not suitable for the job.
In fact, Yuan Zhou was a little unclear about his own position. His ice sculptures were known as the pinnacle of modern ice sculptures in China. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before he became a judge.
It was time for lunch, which was also the time to get a number and line up at noon.
“Hey, Xiaoxiao, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t have time to come before the new year last time you came? Why are you here again today?” Zheng Xian saw an acquaintance in the queue and greeted him.
“We’ve been very busy. We’ve recently received a big job. ” Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded.
Student Xiaoxiao was a garden designer. Recently, she had accepted a big project to build a huge park in the Huangpu new district on the outskirts of Shanghai. She was one of the assistant designers, so of course, she was busy.
“You’re not so crazy as to take off your Chinese New Year holiday now, are you?” Zheng Xian thought of a possibility and asked.
Zhong Xiaoxiao had been to master chef Restaurant three times and this was the fourth time. Although Zheng Xian had only chatted with her for the second or third time, she couldn’t hide her gluttonous nature and it was possible.
“I’m really not. I have a day off today. I took the FiveO’ clock flight here and tomorrow I’ll take the FiveO’ clock flight back to the company. Our company is very close to Pudong Airport. I checked in at nineo’ clock. I’ve calculated that I can make it in time.” Zhong Xiaoxiao said shrewdly.
This is called flying? Zheng Xian looked at the proud-looking Zhong Xiaoxiao and thought of Wang Hong, who was a rich second generation and a part-time writer.
The salary of an assistant designer shouldn’t be like this.
Of course, the shrewd Zhong Xiaoxiao didn’t come here just for food. She had another important matter to attend to.
Zhong Xiaoxiao had talked about this at Yuan’s restaurant and found that no one had done it yet.
“I’m the first person to try!” Zhong Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.
