Chapter 1903: A small testTranslator: 549690339
Yuan Zhou intended to invite su Ruoyan and Mao Ye to try the New Year’s dishes as the representatives of his customers. It could also be considered as an employee benefit.
Most of Chengdu’s sausages were spicy, but just like Sichuan’s kimchi, every household had their own unique recipe. The taste of the sausage made by every household was also different. For example, some added pepper, some did not, and the alcohol content of the wine added was also different. In addition, there was also the proportion of meat filling and so on.
To be honest, Yuan Zhou could make over a hundred kinds of spicy sausages. Of course, it would take too much time. After all, the Chinese New Year was approaching and he didn’t have enough time.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou specially chose the most representative sausages and then made the sausage cake. To say something off-topic, cutting a sausage was actually a test of his cutting skills. Of course, he wasn’t cutting it into pieces, but rather, he was cutting the diced meat required for the cake.
Although Sichuan sausages had been dried and smoked, the meat filling was still inserted into the casing. After being sliced and cut, it would easily scatter.
“This can be a small question to test the honorary disciples.” That was what Yuan Zhou thought when he cut the fish.
“I can cut the sausage into twelve pieces without scattering. As for the test, I’ll lower the difficulty slightly and cut it into eight pieces without scattering.” Was Yuan Zhou speaking the human language?
In fact, sausages that were cut too thin would not taste good. The fast food sausages bought from restaurants were too thin and did not taste like sausages at all.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t make his own sausages. He just adopted the old-fashioned method that ordinary people would use. As for the smoke pollution, he had really forgotten about the existence of the black technology of the system. With the system, there was no smoke pollution.
Considering that Mao Ye and su Ruoyan were both women, Yuan Zhou’s suggestion should be comprehensive. He also felt that it should be done with men. Therefore, Wu Hai played a role.
At lunchtime, Yuan Zhou came out with the dishes and happened to see Wu Hai leaving after eating. He immediately said,””Come over after the business hours end. I need to help you with something.”
Then, Yuan Zhou went back to work on the lunch. As for the Black Beast he summoned, it was unknown whether it had gained sentience or not. It directly got Yuan Zhou’s meaning and thought in its heart,”is it the new year goods that I mentioned before?” Therefore, when he met Zhong Xiaoxiao, he asked her to help him taste the New Year’s food.
Only when it came to food could Wu Hai be so smart?
He had heard the conversation between Zhong Xiaoxiao and the devilish brat during dinner. Since they were not related to each other, Wu Hai had no interest in talking to Zhong Xiaoxiao anymore. What if he was exposed?
However, the Black Beast still found the devilish brat and ordered a menu of restaurant Yuan.
“Did you ask me to come and taste the New Year’s food?” Wu Hai stood in front of him obediently.
Yuan Zhou felt that if he wanted Wu Hai to be obedient, he had to have something delicious to eat. It was the same logic as hanging carrots in front of a donkey.
“That’s right. After dinner, when the tavern opens, you can come over and help me taste the food.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Hahaha, I told you it would be New Year’s goods. Don’t worry, leave it to me. What I like to eat, everyone will definitely like to eat it.” Wu Hai patted his chest loudly.
“You just have to say what you like the most.” Yuan Zhou said.
“No problem. Do you want to start now?” Wu Hai felt that his saliva started to secrete again.
“We can only start at night.” Yuan Zhou said solemnly.
“Then I’ll go first. If you eat more at night, you can taste better New Year’s food.” Wu Hai waved his hand and intended to go to the pet Hospital.
As lots of meat hadn’t been one month old yet, he hadn’t come back yet. However, most of the kittens had already been adopted, leaving only one black and white one. The little guy’s head and butt were black while its body was white, which didn’t look very pleasing to the eye. Wu Hai had made up his mind to raise it by himself. He was afraid that others would think that kittens were ugly and not good to kittens. Sometimes, the Black Beast was also very attentive.
Wu Hai named the black and white kitten meaty fatty. At first glance, he knew it was a meaty child.
After Yuan Zhou settled Wu Hai, he told su Ruoyan that he would stay after the dinner.
As for Mao Ye, they had already agreed on this last night. Although Yuan Zhou didn’t tell them the specific things, the two shop assistants were very enthusiastic about helping Yuan Zhou.
After dinner, he went to the second floor to wash up. After that, Yuan Zhou prepared the sober-up set meal first before kneading the dough, intending to make the New Year’s goods.
The sausage cake that Yuan Zhou chose to make was actually quite different from the traditional cake. The outer skin was specially baked until it was crispy. It was not baked in an oven, but in the most primitive oven.
The control of the fire was crucial. If it was too early, the noodles would be tender and not delicious. If it was too late, the noodles would be hard and sometimes even burnt, which would affect the taste even more.
However, the problem of the heat control was a small matter for Yuan Zhou.
Soon, Mao Ye arrived. Su Ruoyan and Mao Ye invited the drinkers to the second floor of the pub. They started drinking and served the sobering set meal.
Today, as usual, they were basically all unfamiliar drinkers. When they saw Yuan Zhou busy in the kitchen, they were too embarrassed to ask.
In fact, it was unknown whether it was because the new year was approaching. The customers who had come to drink in the past half a month were not the usual customers. They were all tourists. Basically, there was a new wave every day. Mao Ye saw it the most clearly.
“Is there anything else, boss?”
After su Ruoyan and Mao Ye finished their work in the pub and saw that there was nothing else for the time being, they thought of the matter of help that Yuan Zhou had mentioned. Therefore, they came to the restaurant quickly.
As usual, he saw Wu Hai, who was lying on the other side of the partition and looking at Yuan Zhou making the flatbread attentively. He was definitely not drooling.
“Let’s wait a little longer,” Yuan Zhou was waiting for the second last pot of flatbread to come out of the oven. Therefore, he didn’t even raise his head when he heard their questions.
“It smells so good!” Wu Hai took a deep breath and said.
It was the first time for su Ruoyan and Mao Ye to watch Yuan Zhou cook so quietly. He was so skilled that his movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, with an inexplicable rhythm.
“I feel like the boss’s cooking skills are really amazing. No wonder he can make so many top-quality dishes.” Su Ruoyan said in a low voice.
“Although I haven’t eaten it before, I heard from Xiaoyun that the boss’s food can make people who usually eat one bowl eat three bowls of rice. It’s especially delicious.” Mao Ye added. He felt like his drool was about to flow out.
Very soon, the last pot of flatbread was ready. Yuan Zhou placed the flatbread of each flavor on a plate. He prepared three pieces for each flavor. It was just nice for Wu Hai and the other two people to eat one piece each.
There were three varieties in total, with one variety and two flavors, making it exactly six plates. Yuan Zhou carried them out one plate after another.
The first dish served was the numbing and spicy sausage cake. The spiciness and numbing were different as they were divided into two kinds of proportion that Yuan Zhou felt were most suitable.
On a white flat plate, the three pieces of mooncake formed a circle. The so-called mooncake was actually different from traditional mooncakes. It had a certain thickness and was a little similar to a crispy mooncake. However, it was still different from this one. It had a slightly burnt yellow skin, and a little bit of the light yellow skin inside was exposed. It looked very delicious.
“One for each of you to try it.” Yuan Zhou immediately added when he saw Wu Hai’s eagerness to try.
