Yuan Zhou’s imagination was beautiful, but he obviously didn’t consider the actual situation. He didn’t even have a girlfriend now, let alone children.
For the next few days, Yuan Zhou opened his restaurant as usual. At night, he would throw away the “garbage” and wait for the old man to pick it up.
However, Yuan Zhou and the old man never met each other again. Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou knew that the food he had put down had been taken away.
“The weather is just right today, we should be able to make soup.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
While Yuan Zhou was having a carefree life here and thinking that he could stew soup for the old man after avoiding suspicion, the seafood Alliance was having a hard time at the other side.
First, the report about their match with Yuan Zhou came out. Chef li was the clown in the video. The video captured his unwillingness and madness after losing the match vividly and thoroughly. He had completely lost his reputation as a chef.
On the other hand, the business of the shop had also started to decline.
Normally, people who came here to eat wouldn’t pay much attention to the things in the cooking world. However, Yuan Zhou had a group of enthusiastic customers who not only publicized it online but also promoted chef Li’s restaurant for free in reality.
In the past, chef Li’s restaurant was always full of customers, but after Yuan Zhou’s evaluation website appeared, the number of customers had decreased by 30%. Now, there were only two or three customers left after the competition.
It hadn’t even been two months since the business had become like this, and now, chef Li’s restaurant was about to close down.
That’s right, master Cheng had also contributed to this. As a result, chef li couldn’t even find any external help.
As for the other restaurants of the seafood Alliance, although their business was also greatly affected, they were doing much better than chef li. At least, they could still maintain their daily operations.
After all, it was chef li who had hired people to harass the customers of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. He was also the one who had insisted on forcing Yuan Zhou to compete.
“I don’t know what the problem is, but it should be good to make a soup.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and then started to stew the soup.
Yuan Zhou started to stew the soup in the afternoon and kept stewing until the business time in the evening ended.
“The soup should be ready by now.” Yuan Zhou took a look at the porcelain – White stew pot.
“Fried rice first.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and then started to cook the rice.
After the rice was done, Yuan Zhou directly packed it up.
Speaking of which, the lunchbox bought by Yuan Zhou was of the highest quality. Not only could it be degraded, but it also had a certain thermal insulation effect.
Yuan Zhou had also prepared a box for the soup.
“Pa!” Yuan Zhou carried out the stewing cup and then put it on the Azure stone countertop. After that, he poured out a little of the soup directly and then scooped up a spoonful of soup and drank it up.
“Oh, the taste is rich. The chicken’s fragrance has blended into the soft Ginkgo. My cooking skills are really good.” Yuan Zhou said contentedly.
“Unfortunately, I’m not hungry now, so I can’t eat it. I can only throw it away.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou packed the soup quickly.
Yuan Zhou knew the rules of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant better than anyone else. The ingredients and dishes couldn’t be brought out of the restaurant. However, it was still much more lenient for him, the host.
For example, broth, which he fed with broth, was the food left by Yuan Zhou. The system never interfered with it.
Therefore, this was the reason why Yuan Zhou drank a mouthful of the whitefruit chicken soup on purpose.
The reason why Yuan Zhou made the soup was simple. It was because he had heard from the words of the old man that his wife was sick in bed.
Carrying the “trash” that had one more bowl of soup than usual, Yuan Zhou went to the garbage dump again.
After carefully putting away the lunch box, Yuan Zhou returned to his restaurant with a natural pace.
“We should take a look at the Golden Lotus again today. It’s said that there are many foods recorded in it.” After Yuan Zhou sat in the restaurant, he thought to himself.
“Pa!” Yuan Zhou took out a hardcover version of the Golden Lotus with colorful pictures and started to read it primly.
From time to time, Yuan Zhou revealed a pondering expression on his face. He must have been reading very seriously. After reading many books, he still couldn’t find a suitable one and wanted to go back.
Although Yuan Zhou had already seen the Golden vase plum drink, he had given up on looking for the dishes inside because he found a book on the Golden vase plum drink recipe when he was looking for it.
However, when he carefully read the requirements of the system again, Yuan Zhou found that the dishes in the Golden bottle plum were still feasible.
After all, he had to be able to achieve 90 points, and there were far more cuisines from ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ than ‘Golden Lotus’. He should be able to find a few dishes.
This was what Yuan Zhou was thinking. Therefore, he read the book very seriously this time. Not only did he look at the dishes inside, but he also read the entire book.
In order to better find the dishes that met the requirements.
“Yes, the food inside is just as the Research Institute said. It’s very ordinary, but the cooking method is somewhat interesting.” While looking at it, Yuan Zhou was thinking about the cooking method of the dishes inside.
Of course, there was also an introduction to the wine and tea.
In a short while, Yuan Zhou had read the 61st chapter of the book. This was the second time he had read it thoroughly and he had been reading it for two days.
“Fresh crab?” Yuan Zhou stared at the description in the book closely and knitted his brows.
The book’s record of fresh crabs was as follows: ” 40 big crabs, all peeled, with meat brewed inside. Pepper, ginger, garlic, rice, flour, deep – fried, and fermented with soy sauce. It’s fragrant, crispy, and delicious.”
“How can this crab still be fresh after such a long time?” Yuan Zhou was puzzled in the heart.
After all, he had just made a dish related to seafood, so he knew very well what kind of cooking technique was needed to make the crab delicious.
Even the crab bucket was not fried in this way. If it was fried with chili or pepper, ginger, garlic, and the like, then wrapped with powder, there would be no fresh and delicious crab.
“System, does the freshness of the crab meet the requirements?” Yuan Zhou made up his mind and then tried to ask.
Ever since he issued this mission, Yuan Zhou had submitted dozens of dishes, but all of them failed. Therefore, he had to be very careful when submitting the dishes now.
He held his breath and waited for the system’s reply. He didn’t know if the system did it on purpose, but it seemed to have examined him for a long time before answering.
The system displayed,”in line.”
“It doesn’t fit the criteria again …” Yuan Zhou came back to his senses,””Wait, you mean it’s consistent?”
Yuan Zhou asked again for confirmation. He even doubted whether he had an auditory hallucination.
The system displayed,”in line.”
“Big brother, it’s really not easy, not easy! I’ve decided to choose you, fresh crab!” Yuan Zhou immediately stood up and said.
After searching for so long, he finally found it. Yuan Zhou was very excited in the heart and couldn’t wait to start cooking immediately.
“Wait, I have to guarantee that I’ll succeed in one try. Think about the specific method.” Yuan Zhou stood there for a while and then calmed down.
Only after Yuan Zhou calmed down and considered the cooking method did he speak again.
“It’s may now, so there’s no crab on the market. Also, according to the description, the Golden bottle plum is not a sea crab, but a Lake crab.” Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and considered.
“System, are you the one providing the raw materials for this crab?” When Yuan Zhou asked that, he didn’t have any hope.
The system displayed,”three servings of crab ingredients can be provided.”
“System, you’re so generous. Are you plotting something?” Yuan Zhou revealed a suspicious look.
The system displayed,”the host can provide the origin, size, and month of the crab. If these three are correct, the system will provide the ingredients.”
Upon hearing the system’s words, Yuan Zhou immediately understood that it was testing the specific information of the crab ingredients required for the fresh crab. The system meant that it would only provide the ingredients if it was correct.
“It’s not free. ” Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief in the heart.
Having gotten along with the system in a ‘friendly’ manner for a long time, Yuan Zhou finally felt a sense of security when the system didn’t offer him free food. This was quite rare for Yuan Zhou who never took advantage of others.
