Chapter 2248: Will not leaveTranslator: 549690339
There was no need to pay special attention to this new thing. It was just an ordinary VAT. If there was anything special about it, it was probably that the patterns were a little better.
In order to match the shop’s flower, the White Lotus flowers on it were particularly vivid even though it was brown in color, as if adding a few bright colors to the kitchen.
The White Lotus VAT was not big, with a diameter of half a meter and a height of about a meter. The traditional fishing method of using oil-filled forks to cook the Mandarin fish could not be separated from this VAT. At this time, the charcoal fire was already prepared in the VAT.
The Mandarin fish used by Yuan Zhou was also a Chinese perch, a wild species found in Dongting Lake. It had a tender texture and was rich in nutrition. Of course, it was impossible for it to be imported from somewhere else. Instead, the system had reserved a fish pond in the place with the best water quality in Dongting Lake.
One should know that Dongting Lake was a tourist spot and the area for breeding livestock wasn’t large. The best area belonged to Yuan Zhou.
Therefore, he didn’t need to talk about money with Yuan Zhou. The main thing was that he had many industries.
Getting back to the main topic, Yuan Zhou didn’t care about what the Chinese perch usually ate when it grew up. When he saw that this fish was obviously different from the common Chinese perch just now, he knew that it was definitely not ordinary.
However, the system still seized the time to show off. Even if Yuan Zhou didn’t ask, the system would still show off in the dark.
“This type of fish is called Blue Turtle. It’s named as such because it has a blue stripe on its abdomen under the sun. It’s the king of the turtle fish. Its meat is sweet, tender, and rich in nutrition. Due to the harsh growing conditions, it’s rare and belongs to a rare species. The system has been cultivating the first generation of the ancient blue Turtle species with a scientific feeding method. In order to keep its activity all year round, the water temperature is controlled at 24 degrees Celsius all year round and it’s fed in a special terrain …”
“…” Yuan Zhou said in his heart,”although it can be explained, there’s no need to.”
“Speaking of which, system, after you helped me become the God of Cookery, you didn’t leave me, did you?” It suddenly occurred to Yuan Zhou that the system was so talkative now. Was it because it knew that it was going to leave and wanted to say a few more words?
Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou really couldn’t bear to do that. He thought in the heart that if that was the case, should he slow down his pace a little?
“I won ‘t,” The system displayed.
Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief and continued cooking.
“Shua shua shua”
He picked up the knife and handled the fish very cleanly. Soon, the fish was done, he added the seasoning, hung the egg paste, wrapped it in lard, clamped it with a clamp, and placed it into the charcoal fire to roast.
“CI la CI la!”
Soon, the lard began to drip as soon as it came into contact with the high-temperature charcoal fire. It gradually changed from a white jade color to a brown color. As for the fish inside, there was no other difference.
While cooking the fish, Yuan Zhou didn’t stay idle. Instead, he continued to cook other dishes. It wasn’t surprising that he had eight hands. He was so fast that he left afterimages. Many people said that the speed of his hands could be divided into three levels.
“Single for ten years,””single for half a lifetime,””
As for the situation of being single for a lifetime, things would reverse when they reached an extreme, and there would be no hand speed.
As time passed, the two dishes that Meng Guangping and the others had ordered were all served. There was nothing left on the table except for the empty plates. Even the crystal clear rice was finished.
Speaking of which, it was a happy thing. Because Meng Guangping and the others ate too fast, they completely ignored the rice. When they finished eating, they were dumbfounded to see the fragrant rice.
Due to Yuan Zhou’s superb cooking skills, there was no vegetable soup left at all. Only the rice was left. Then, the three masters experienced the treatment of eating plain white rice.
Of course, the plain white rice from the 100 styles of rice cuisines was also not bad. Even if no vegetables were used, it was not a problem to eat two bowls of it. It was soft, sticky, and fragrant. It was not too hard either. Instead, it was moderately hard and the rice was rich in fragrance. That was why many people would bring their own preserved vegetables to eat the plain white rice.
“Are you full?” Du Yundong frowned. He touched his stomach and felt that he was not full.
“Meng Guangping and Ding Yang must have eaten a lot of food,” du Yundong thought.
At first, he really didn’t notice Meng Guangping and Ding Yang eating his food. He thought he was taking advantage of them and was very pleased.
Du Yundong knew it when he saw that there was only one fish in total, and each fish weighed about one and a half catties. The whole fish was placed on a plate, and it was difficult to eat it without being discovered.
Of course, Meng Guangping and Ding Yang didn’t have any reaction.
“No, I feel that the portion is a little small. I can have another dish.” Meng Guangping said, estimating his food intake.
It was not that he was still hungry, but his mouth was still hungry. His stomach could only hold one more dish, so he could only eat one more dish. It was not that he did not feel regretful.
“I also need one more dish to be full.” Ding Yang chimed in.
Little Yu also trembled to indicate that he wasn’t full. He probably needed another dish.
“How can one dish be enough for a young man like you? you should order two more dishes. I’ll treat you to a full meal.” Meng Guangping looked at little Yu thoughtfully.
He thought that he couldn’t finish an entire plate of dishes, but Xiao Yu could try a little after ordering. This way, he could eat more dishes and not worry about being blacklisted. It was perfect.
Little Yu was very touched. He felt that President Meng was a good leader.
This time, Xiao Yu ordered three dishes. Meng Guangping and the others each ordered one dish. They also ordered home-cooked and Kung Fu dishes, such as Zuan nunnery tofu, farmer’s stir-fried meat, Dong ‘an chicken, and so on.
The newly ordered dishes were served very quickly. It didn’t take long for their stomachs to be full. After confirming that there was no more food, the four of them left the restaurant.
The main purpose of this trip was to find Yuan Zhou for something. Meng Guangping and the others didn’t leave. Instead, they stood under the eaves outside the door and waited for the business time to end.
On the first night of the launch, there were a lot of people. Even though Yuan Zhou was fast enough, he still couldn’t satisfy the mouths of many foodies.
When Meng Guangping and the others stood outside the door, they really saw what it meant to have a lot of people. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was packed.
However, no matter how many people there were, the business hours were only two hours, and it was time to end very soon.
“Dinner time is over. Please come earlier for breakfast tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou stood at the door and saw all the customers off.
He immediately saw Meng Guangping and the others. It was already dark. Although it wasn’t completely dark, it was still gray. The lanterns on Taoxi road were lit, so he could still see them clearly.
Since he had stopped cooking, Yuan Zhou was naturally focused. He recognized Meng Guangping and the others after a few more glances.
Before Yuan Zhou went up to greet them, Meng Guangping and the others came up to him hurriedly when they found Yuan Zhou was alone.
“Hello, head chef Yuan. I’m Meng Guangping, the chairman of Hunan cuisine. It’s a pleasure to meet you, head chef Yuan.” Meng Guangping extended his hands and said courteously.
First, he had to be polite since he was asking for a favor. Second, Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills were worthy of his respect.
