Chapter 2542: People are different from each otherTranslator: 549690339

The restaurant had gathered the strong points of all the restaurants. To put it bluntly, each of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines had a little bit of it. However, it had been improved in Shanghai to better suit the taste of the Shanghai locals. Therefore, although the famous dishes had the same name as the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines, the cooking method and taste were not the same.
This was also the reason why the current situation of Shanghai cuisine was relatively difficult. Not only did one have to be proficient in one dish, but they also had to study every dish. There were many chefs who knew how to cook Shanghai cuisine, but to be honest, there were not many who could do it well and could make it to a high level. This was also the reason why Yang Wei was very anxious.
Probably because Yang Wei and Gu Xun were pumped up after the new Shanghai cuisine was served today, when Wu Hai pulled Mao Xiong and stood at the top of the line, Yang Wei and Gu Xun followed him and stood at the third and fourth places.
If Zhou Xi, who was attending a not-so-important banquet for Zheng Jiawei abroad, knew that someone was coveting his position as the mistress, he would probably not even be able to cry.
Recently, probably because he had been following Zheng Jiawei for a long time, Zhou Xi’s professional level had been rising sharply. As a result, his workload had increased sharply. Wu Hai already had a girlfriend and he didn’t follow his idol often anymore. However, with more work, he had less power to choose whether to follow his idol or not.
With Zhou Xi around, Zheng Jiawei was really relaxed. He would come to the restaurant to have a meal from time to time. If he was free, he would go to accompany Wu Lin. He could work and date at the same time. He was at the peak of his success.
Of course, it was fortunate that the busy Zhou Xi didn’t know about it. Yang Wei and the others, who had successfully grabbed the third and fourth seats, naturally didn’t know about it.
The new dish was served today, and it had already been warmed up for breakfast in the morning. The traffic control department of Taoxi road had already made preparations in advance. It was already overcrowded even before the time to line up. The traffic volume had soared. As the time approached, the number of cars increased.
Fortunately, they had prepared in advance. Otherwise, being flustered was not the worst thing. They were afraid that if there was any trouble, they could not deal with it in time. After many practices, everyone had formed a set of operating mechanisms that could deal with this kind of scene that appeared from time to time. It was comparable to the Spring Festival.
As more and more people arrived, the line reached the end of the street, and lunchtime officially began....
Su Ruoyan’s call to start was like the sound of nature, ringing out the diners who were intoxicated by their various imaginations.
The first 18 customers entered the restaurant one after another and found their seats in order. As Yang Wei and the others were at the front of the line, they sat next to the hairy bear. They were just in time to see Yuan Zhou’s figure in the kitchen.
At present, Yuan Zhou wasn’t idle. Instead, he continued to do some preparation work. As new Shanghai cuisine was to be served, he had prepared a lot of ingredients for the dishes that required a little time. This was all based on his experience.
As long as a new dish was served, 80% of the customers would order one or all of the new dishes on the same day. It wasn’t that the customers preferred the new over the old. This was something that couldn’t be helped. They could only blame the restaurant for having too many dishes and couldn’t even finish all of them. The best way was naturally to follow Yuan Zhou.
They didn’t have to worry about serving the new dishes at all. They just had to look at the new dishes. After the freshness of the new dishes had worn off, they would just eat whatever they thought of. That was freedom.
It could be said that the restaurant had completely realized the freedom of the customers to eat whatever they wanted to eat. As Yuan Zhou didn’t know enough cuisines, he personally felt that he hadn’t realized the true liberation and freedom.
Of course, no one else knew about this.
Every time a new dish was served, there would naturally be the shadow of the old customers. The usual ones like man man, Meng Meng, Queen Jiang, Wu Yungui, and the others also came to support. Boss Shi, who had not seen him for a long time, also came. Naturally, there were also food critics like Lee Yanyi and Zhou zhangju.
The two of them had arrived early, so they were a little slow and didn’t manage to be in the first batch. Zhou Shijie also took some time out of his busy schedule to come and eat.
As for the son of barbecued pork, Zhou Shijie said it was better to eat the new dish since he couldn’t eat it.
Other than Yang Wei and Gu Xun, the first batch of diners were all experienced diners. They found their usual seats and sat down after a casual greeting, then began to order the dishes with familiarity.
Some of them had to flip through the menu, while others had already thought of what to order. Therefore, this round of ordering was destined to be very easy.
As usual, Wu Hai and the others wrote down the dishes according to the menu. Therefore, su Ruoyan ordered Yang Wei and the others first.
“What would you like to order?” Su Ruoyan asked.
Yang Wei had already thought about it for a long time. He wanted to taste his signature dish in Yuan Zhou’s hands. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to try it. Therefore, he blurted out,””Fried pork chop, chicken circle, steamed bun, and a portion of four blessings ‘roasted bran. That’s all.”
Weighing his own appetite, Yang Wei restrained himself and still ordered four dishes,”I’m also good at eight dishes. I’ll eat four for lunch and four for dinner. It’s just right. I can continue to eat other dishes tomorrow. This arrangement is just a balance between work and rest.”
In order to be able to eat one more dish, Yang Wei didn’t even order the fragrant rice. He also liked the rice of the restaurant, but now he had a mission, so he had to be professional.
Just like Yang Wei, Gu Xun naturally ordered the dishes he was familiar with. They were also dishes that he often made.”Drunk chicken, Osmanthus meat, chrysanthemum eggplant, shepherd’s purse hundred leaves bun.”
He served four dishes at a time. After su Ruoyan carefully memorized them one by one, she turned around and passed the menu to Yuan Zhou, continuing to order for the next customer.
As he was sitting very close to them, Yuan Zhou had actually already heard the orders of Yang Wei and the others without even using the menu. He immediately started to prepare. Some dishes required a longer time to prepare, such as the zuibo head, while others required a shorter time.
After preparing the dishes that required a longer time to cook, he began to prepare the dishes that required a shorter time. In just a short while, Wu Hai and the others had also finished ordering. Yuan Zhou’s actions became even faster.
However, no matter how busy he was, he looked orderly and didn’t seem messy at all. This fascinated Gu Xun, who would lose his rhythm if he didn’t pay attention.
In fact, it was not that Gu Xun’s cooking skills were bad. His so-called messy rhythm was just that if he looked at a few stoves at the same time, he could do it. But sometimes, he would be too focused on one and lose focus on the other. He was slow here and fast there, and he could not catch up at all.
Unlike Yuan Zhou, after stir-frying for a few times in one side of the pot, the other side just needed to be lifted off the lid or the other side needed to turn off the fire, and the other side could be ready to be served. It was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water. No matter what, it was always as if it was calculated and just right.
Gu Xun stared at Yuan Zhou intently and couldn’t wait to crawl into the kitchen to have a closer look. Not to mention him, even Yang Wei felt that Yuan Zhou was really worthy of his reputation.
It wasn’t the first time he had come to the restaurant to eat, and naturally, it wasn’t the first time he had seen Yuan Zhou cook. However, no matter how good the other cuisines were, they couldn’t be as shocking as the cuisines he was familiar with being played by Yuan Zhou.
