In order to play the role of a leader, Hao Cheng immediately said when he saw Yuan Zhou start to work,””Everyone, quickly take out your notes and start recording.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll get it immediately.” Wang Qiang was the first to respond. He took out a black leather book with a pen on it. As he spoke, he picked up the pen and began to record.
On the other side, Liu Li and Huang Fei did not say anything more. They also took out their notebooks and started recording.
Of course, he first recorded what he had ordered, and then he needed to compare it with his cooking skills.
The four of them were a little nervous at first, but no one paid attention to them at the beginning because many people did this, and the customers all liked it.
Some of the customers would even gossip about who was the fastest to take notes.
As such, the four of them recorded very calmly. Currently, the fastest one to write was Huang Fei. Of course, his writing was the kind that only he could recognize.
Yuan Zhou also served the dishes they ordered very quickly.
At this moment, Huang Fei, who was writing with Great Spirit, sharply discovered and confirmed one thing. His brows slightly furrowed, but his hands became even more serious in recording.
It wasn’t until the dishes of the four people were finished and Yuan Zhou continued to cook other dishes that Huang Fei took advantage of the time when Zhou Jia carried the dishes to the table and said,””I found that boss Yuan’s cooking speed has slowed down by one-fifth in the past two days when he was cooking the dishes we ordered.”
“Eh? What do you mean by that?” Liu Li touched his big belly and asked curiously. Most of his brain power was still focused on the aftertaste of the dish.
“Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship can be said to have returned to its original state. There’s no sudden decrease in speed. Are you saying that boss Yuan is cooking this dish especially for us to see?” Hao Cheng was the first to react.
“I think so.” Huang Fei nodded.
“Now that you mention it, it does seem that the speed has indeed slowed down. Boss Yuan is really too good to us.” Wang Qiang couldn’t help but say.
After the experience of eating here for the past few days, the way they addressed Yuan Zhou had changed from head chef Yuan to boss Yuan, who was more amiable.
“I think we have to be more serious. We can’t let boss Yuan and our master down.” Huang Fei said in a serious tone.
“Right. It must be because boss Yuan saw that we are sincere in learning the skills that he acted like that. However, there must also be the credit of master in this.” Hao Cheng nodded.
“I really have to work hard. I have to practice two more dishes tonight.” Liu Li sighed as he rubbed his big belly.
“That’s right. You should practice more. With such good conditions, I can’t let master and boss Yuan down. ” Wang Qiang nodded.
Hao Cheng and Huang Fei also nodded in agreement.
The current learning conditions were much better than before. Basic information could be found on the internet, and for more advanced ones, at least one could know where to learn.
However, it was strange that even with better learning conditions, it was difficult for him to become a master blacksmith.
When the four of them were determined to practice their cooking skills more, Zhou Jia carried their dishes to them.
Of course, Huang Fei and the other two’s food were the first to arrive, followed by Hao Cheng’s stir-fried wild rice and greasy meat.
The stir-fried Zuche was placed on a Green Lotus leaf-shaped plate. The diamond-shaped Zuche was a beautiful jade-white color, with a hint of light green on the sides. The top of the Zuche was steaming, and it looked very beautiful on the green plate.
When he brought it closer, the fragrance of the water bamboo drifted into his nose. It was so refreshing that he felt as if he had smelled the fresh water bamboo growing by the lake, which was so crisp and tender.
The other dish, fried dough and stuffed meat, was the focus of Hao Cheng’s attention.
“Hua la”, Hao Cheng directly dragged the plate over. It was a medium-sized soup bowl with two pieces of brown-red, translucent, and oily dough stuffed meat.
The soup in the bowl had soaked half of the fried dough sinew, and the fried dough sinew that was dragged closer exuded a delicious taste.
“This is the smell. It’s so fragrant.” Hao Cheng closed his eyes and said with a smile.
“It’s indeed very fragrant, but it’s time to distribute the dishes. ” Liu Li reminded him in a low voice.
Hao Cheng immediately opened his eyes and looked at the two intact pieces of meat with reluctance. After a long while, he said,””Then I’ll give you one.”
In fact, Hao Cheng had wanted to say that he would split it in half, but seeing that the other three were all looking at him, he could only swallow this thought and say that he would split it in half.
However, even if it was just the oil, the dough, and the meat, Hao Cheng did it himself. His brown-red chopsticks nimbly picked up a meatball and quickly divided it into an empty bowl at the side.
In fact, Hao Cheng had secretly observed before he picked it up. He wanted to pick a smaller meatball, but he found that the two were exactly the same size, so he could only pick one with his eyes closed.
Of course, Hao Cheng also shared half of the soup in the bowl.
After picking up the meatball, Hao Cheng couldn’t care about anything else. He directly stuffed the chopsticks into his mouth to taste it.
An extremely salty and fresh taste spread in the mouth, making people feel appetizing at once. In the end, there was a slight sweetness, as well as a rich and long-lasting fragrance, which slowly entered the lungs.
“This is actually aged wine!” Hao Cheng’s eyes widened as he savored the taste carefully.
That’s right, Hao Cheng had been waiting for the ingredients of this flower-carved wine from the very beginning.
Chefs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang liked to use flower carving wine to remove the fishy smell and fragrance when cooking, and this dish of greasy dough stuffed meat was a famous dish in Wuxi. It tasted sweet there, and flower carving wine was used to remove the fishy smell and fragrance when cooking this dish.
However, this dish should have been brewed with the flower wine from Jiangsu. This was the authentic tin-free vegetable oil, dough and stuffed meat in their hearts.
However, in fact, the flower-carved wine was called Shaoxing yellow rice wine. Although Jiangnan was generally called Wu State in ancient times, in fact, no one was convinced by each other among the counties. Therefore, there was an invisible rule to make this dish, which was that the flower-carved wine must be used from Jiangsu.
This was a secret cooking method, but it happened to be the one thing that chefs from Jiangsu cared about.
But now, Hao Cheng could clearly taste that this was their local flavor, and it was the taste of flower-Eagle Chen wine.
The taste of the soup was mixed with the saltiness and freshness. It was impossible to ignore when it burst in the mouth.
“As expected of boss Yuan. He can even do such a small thing.” Hao Cheng admired Yuan Zhou even more in his heart.
With this in mind, Hao Cheng took the plain white rice from the side and directly used a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of soup and poured it on the rice.
The rice with just the right temperature and the brown soup immediately coated the sparkling and translucent rice with a layer of oil.
“It smells so good.” Hao Cheng impatiently picked up the bowl and took a bite.
In an instant, the saltiness and freshness of the rice combined with the natural fragrance of the rice exploded in his mouth. Hao Cheng couldn’t help but chew.
As he chewed, every grain of rice was soaked in the soup. He had the satisfaction of eating a bowl of rice soaked in oil soup when he was very hungry when he was young, and it was amazingly delicious.
In just a short while, Hao Cheng had finished half a bowl of rice, and this was the result of him trying his best to restrain himself.
“It’s too delicious. Every bite is extremely delicious. ” Hao Cheng couldn’t help but put down his bowl and reach out with his chopsticks to pick up the meatball.
The smooth meatball rolled in the soup, and Hao Cheng couldn’t find a place to pick up his chopsticks.
By right, the outer layer of the oil gluten stuffed meat was the oil gluten, and the inside was stuffed with meat filling. However, in order to stuff the meat into the oil gluten, he naturally had to open a mouth.
However, it was obvious that the meatball was smooth and had no openings, which surprised Hao Cheng and made him curious.
However, in the end, his desire to eat meat won over everything. Hao Cheng directly used his chopsticks to split the meatball in half.
At this time, the meatball that had been split in half had a light-colored meat filling inside, giving off an alluring meaty fragrance.
