Chapter 2413: Not leaving anymoreTranslator: 549690339
Seeing Zhou zhangju still in a daze, Lee Yanyi reminded him.
“You don’t believe me when I say that your eyes are blinded. Is this plate of stir-fried Linglong the same as the one you had five years ago? open your eyes wide and look at it before you speak.” Lee Yanyi didn’t know anything about politeness.
Of course, there was still some restraint. At least, he didn’t say anything like ‘dog eyes’. It could be seen that he had been merciful with his words. However, not everyone could appreciate such mercy.
Zhou zhangju was about to get angry after being retorted by Lee Yanyi, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly came back to his senses. He didn’t have time to argue with Lee Yanyi, but took a closer look before the vegetables left. Only then did he realize that the dish was indeed different.
This dish had a good name and was even more beautiful. The ingredients had been changed into the shape of flowers, so it looked like a blooming peony on the plate. At first glance, it seemed to be the same as the whole lamb banquet cooked by Master Song, a master of hallowed cuisine, which Zhou zhangju had eaten with Lee Yanyi at that time. Lee Yanyi was also very clear about that.
At first glance, Zhou zhangju thought that it was the stir-fried Linglong that Master Song had made.
But now that he looked closely, he couldn’t even lose his temper. It was indeed different.
Five years ago, the stir-fried Linglong was made with the heart of lamb. But now, it was actually the kidney of lamb in Yuan Zhou’s plate.
The difference of one word might sound similar, but when the ingredients were completely different, it was completely different.
Moreover, stir-fried exquisite was obviously stir-fried just from the name. However, this dish that looked like a blooming flower was steamed. It could be said to be the opposite.
Lee Yanyi had a sharp tongue, but he wasn’t wrong. Zhou zhangju indeed didn’t see clearly. He wanted to scold him back, but he couldn’t find a reason. He felt so aggrieved that he could only eat two more mouthfuls of delicious food to relieve the depression in his heart.
“How is it? can you tell?” Lee Yanyi’s expression seemed to be saying ‘that’s it?’. It could be said that he really deserved a beating.
Zhou zhangju didn’t say anything. He directly nodded, which meant that he didn’t even need to say anything. He reached out with his chopsticks and ruthlessly tore off two petals from the flower and put them in his mouth.
By right, a steamed lamb’s kidney should have a fishy taste, but when it entered his mouth, he realized that he didn’t have to worry about that at all. His previous thoughts were a complete waste of time.
As soon as the soft cotton-like texture came into contact with his mouth, the warm temperature immediately melted his body. A light and elegant fragrance spread in his mouth, sliding down his throat to his stomach. The faint plum blossom fragrance seemed to still remain in his mouth. The fragrance was elegant and had a little bitterness, making him reluctant to leave.
“This taste should be marinated with plum blossom wine, but ordinary marinating should not be able to achieve such transparency. Some special cooking method should have been used, but it’s a pity that I can’t taste it.”
Taking advantage of the fact that the plate hadn’t been turned away yet, Zhou zhangju seized the time to stuff a big stalk into his mouth and another big stalk into his own bowl. Then he watched the plate turn away with regret in his eyes.
After Zhou zhangju had also finished the food in his own bowl, he finally had time to take a look at Lee Yanyi. He found that this little old man was engrossed in eating something and didn’t notice Zhou zhangju’s mental journey at all.
Silently looking down at the new dish that had just been sent over, Zhou zhangju chose a golden-yellow and very dazzling dish. He planned to try it. He was a little cold just now, so he needed to eat something warm.
A table that could accommodate 100 people was Ma Xiao’s proud work. He was very pleased with this. After all, although it did not seem difficult, the requirements were actually very high. Therefore, Ma Xiao was not satisfied with the first round and even repeated it once before he felt that it was not bad.
Ma Xiao was not bad to the point that in master Lian’s eyes, he was full of mistakes, yet he was still being lectured.
Master Lian quickly picked up a dish that looked like stir-fried shredded mutton with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He closed his eyes slightly and ate in satisfaction. Then, he started again, and his mouth did not stop.”Look at the two lines on your side. Aren’t they symmetrical? if you had drawn the lines beforehand, this wouldn’t have happened. Did you draw the lines at the front and follow your feelings at the back? do you think your eyes are radars?”
Ma Xiao had already stretched out his chopsticks, but when he heard his Master’s words, he immediately retracted them and listened to him quietly. After he finished speaking and explained his own thoughts, he realized that the stir-fried shredded mutton he had been looking at had already been reduced by half. Then, he turned around and left …
His favorite dish had slipped away in front of his eyes just like that. It was easy to imagine how depressed Ma Xiao was, but he didn’t dare to say anything.
The only consolation was that he had once again received guidance from his master and learned a few tricks.
The lively lamb banquet was always very lively. All kinds of people showed different states when they ate the delicious food. It was more interesting than when they were at master chef Restaurant. After all, the restaurant was small and could only accommodate a dozen people at a time.
Of course, the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou’s in-name disciples were also included in this. However, the difference was quite obvious. One was his disciple while the other was his master. There was definitely a difference. For example, after a round of cooking, the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou were almost all gone, while the dishes cooked by his disciples didn’t seem to have much difference.
The customers in master chef Restaurant were all used to Yuan Zhou’s dishes. Besides, the difference in fragrance, plate presentation, shape and color matching were very obvious. Therefore, they could naturally recognize him.
What was missing in the plates of his apprentices were still Yin ya and Yuan Zhou ‘S. Yuan Zhou ate to understand the current level of his apprentices and to determine his teaching orientation in the future. As for Yin ya, she knew that these dishes were prepared by Yuan Zhou’s apprentices to congratulate them on their happy engagement. Naturally, she needed to try them.
Although there were a lot of dishes, it was not a problem for the people present to eat four or five dishes per person. In general, they could basically fill their stomachs, but this was on the premise that the dishes were not cooked by Yuan Zhou.
As they ate too quickly, the meal ended faster than expected. Almost everyone who had completely fulfilled their mission of eating the dish said a few words of blessing to Yuan Zhou and Yin ya and then left. Even though they weren’t full yet, they still had a smile of blessing on their faces.
During the dinner time in the evening, after several hours of fermentation, the big news of Yuan Zhou’s engagement was spread in several big groups. Those who didn’t go to the banquet felt very regretful. Those who were free almost came to comfort themselves during the dinner. Therefore, the dinner time was very lively.
There was no need to mention the time in the pub. Because of the monkey wine that appeared at the engagement ceremony, the wine Masters and wine Masters were very cruel to the monkey wine that night. They said that if they didn’t drink it during the day, they had to drink more at night.
After the pub time ended,
“Xiao Ya won’t be going back today, right?” Yuan Zhou turned his head and asked Yin ya who had been in the restaurant all day.
“Yes.” Yin ya slightly blushed and nodded her head. Suddenly, she recalled the scene when Mama Yin pulled her to whisper to her during the day and became a little embarrassed and uneasy.
The moon seemed to have hidden in the clouds as well. The sky became darker and darker. It was almost time for Yuan Zhou to go to sleep.
