2250 What if you're not satisfied?
Yuan Zhou had originally wanted to say that the selection could not be rushed and could be done slowly, but du Yundong and the others immediately made their stand clear and thus he didn’t say anything more.
As a matter of fact, as soon as Yuan Zhou agreed, he had to do it immediately. This was the top priority of Hunan cuisine. It would be strange if he wasn’t anxious.
Before they came here, Meng Guangping and the other two knew Yuan Zhou’s character and style of doing things. They thought there wouldn’t be any big problems with this matter. However, they couldn’t be completely at ease as they hadn’t put it into practice yet.
Now, she could finally put her heart back into her stomach.
In the following time, after knowing that Yuan Zhou was fine, the several people began to exchange Hunan cuisine with the fragrance of the tea.
In the beginning, little Yu could still listen with relish. Although he didn’t understand, it didn’t stop him from listening to the fun. However, as time went by, the communication between the four people was no longer limited to the food, but rather the improvement.
“I’ve talked to many culinary seniors. In fact, all the changes in cooking are changes in the demand of the diners. For example, Guizhou Province lacks salt, and Guizhou cuisine uses sour taste as salt. Now that there’s no shortage of salt, Guizhou cuisine has begun to develop in various ways, supplemented by sour taste.” Yuan Zhou concluded.
In the end, even Meng Guangping’s group of three could only listen to Yuan Zhou’s explanation, not to mention Xiao Yu. That was because Yuan Zhou didn’t just talk about one Hunan cuisine. He talked about the history of Hunan Province in depth and some problems in the improvement of the dishes.
Little Yu was left with three questions: “Who am I? where am I? what am I doing?”
The few of them did not stop talking. There was never a lack of topics. After they finished talking about one, they talked about the next. The atmosphere was very lively.
Time passed by unknowingly. It was only when the noise from the tavern on the second floor gradually became louder and someone walked down the stairs that the few of them finally came back to reality.
Meng Guangping and the others finally stopped talking, their eyes bright. They didn’t feel tired from talking for hours, but felt that time had passed too quickly.
“I’m sorry for taking up so much of head chef Yuan’s time today. I’ve gained a lot from this exchange with head chef Yuan. Thank you.” Meng Guangping sincerely thanked him.
Not only him, but du Yundong and Ding Yang had also gained a lot, especially since they were still busy in front of the stove. It was obvious that they loved cooking, so they had benefited a lot.
“You’re too kind, Chairman Meng. I’ve learned a lot too. If there’s a chance in the future, we can exchange pointers and improve together.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Hahaha, definitely, definitely.”
Meng Guangping and the other two saw that it was getting late so they could only leave. For the first time, they felt like they weren’t rong city people. This way, they could live in Rong city for a long time.
“I originally wanted to …” Ding Yang wanted to say something but stopped.
“I also want to,” du Yundong nodded.
“Don’t even think about it, Yuan Yafeng. It’s not an exaggeration,”Meng Guangping interrupted the two.
The three of them were speaking in riddles. To be specific, all three of them ordered their specialty dishes at the same time. They probably wanted to admit defeat since the overall culinary skills of Hunan cuisine were not comparable, but their specialty dishes should still have a chance, so …
They didn’t need to recall the tragic situation too much. However, they were also capable enough to get to where they were today. Therefore, they did get some inspiration from Yuan Zhou’s dishes. That was true.
After returning to the master chef Restaurant and seeing off Meng Guangping, the other customers, and the customers, Yuan Zhou stood by the window as usual and watched Mao Ye get on the last bus and leave before he started to do his own things.
Zuan Xiang cuisine was also an important part of Xiang cuisine. Moreover, there was a significant feature of Zuan Xiang cuisine, which was that many of the dishes were very expensive abalone with wing tripe. Therefore, they had to be soaked one or a few days in advance.
Of course, the system could have provided the seafood that had just been soaked. However, Yuan Zhou felt that it would be easier to grasp the changes of the ingredients and make adjustments according to the weather and temperature if he soaked them. That would be more meaningful.
Yuan Zhou had always been very strict and never perfunctory when it came to cooking.
“Creak!”
Yuan Zhou opened the small door with the words “shark’s fin “written on it and revealed the contents inside. Shark’s fins of various sizes occupied more than half of the space in the cabinet.
“System, my little comrade, the gift package for the first two anniversary of the celebration was a complete collection of cuisines from Yun and GUI provinces. There were no gift packages for the third and fourth anniversary of the celebration, so the gift package for the fifth anniversary of the celebration shouldn’t be too shabby, right?”
The system displayed,[it will definitely satisfy the host.]
“What if I’m not satisfied?” While checking the bird’s nest, Yuan Zhou teased the system.
Unfortunately, as long as it wasn’t about cooking, the system was just like the weather in June, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy.
“Hua la, Hua la”
First, wash it with clean water, then put it in a clean, non-greasy bowl, and then cover it with something.
It took Yuan Zhou quite a long time to boil a considerable amount of rice, which was basically enough for a day. Moreover, Yuan Zhou prepared a few more servings habitually. Such a serving would only be more than enough. Of course, the more servings would naturally go into the stomachs of him, Yin ya and the rice.
At the very least, Wu Hai would come to seek help from the bear from time to time. Ever since Wu Hai and hairy bear combined, they were two people. They both had bottomless stomachs and there was no need to think about the leftovers.
The rice and the others ‘fur were definitely shiny because of the good food. Even Romeo, who came from time to time to freeload food and drink, had become fatter and stronger. Then, Zong mo moved two antiques over, euphemistically saying that it was for Romeo’s food.
Now, Zong Mo’s skill of stuffing antiques into his mouth had already reached the point of perfection. Even Yuan Zhou had no way to refuse it. Therefore, the antiques on the shelf became more abundant. Of course, Zong mo had also controlled the price very well. It was the kind of price that Yuan Zhou would refuse to buy even if it was a little more expensive.
The next day came very quickly. After a busy breakfast, Yuan Zhou didn’t practice his cutting skills but did something else.
Because of the low terrain in Xiang province, the climate was warm and humid. Fresh meat products were not suitable for storage, but smoked cured meat could be preserved and stored for a long time. Therefore, the local people had developed the habit of eating cured meat, such as cured pork, cured chicken, cured fish, cured duck, and so on. Almost all meat could be made into cured flavor.
After everything in the mountain City could be used to make hot pot and Lu cuisine could be used to pull out silk, Hunan cuisine could be used to smoke everything.
While he was getting familiar with Hunan cuisine, Yuan Zhou had made quite a lot of la-flavored dishes. However, judging from the number of people who ordered the LA-flavored steamed dishes yesterday, Yuan Zhou felt that he needed to prepare more in case of a rainy day.
After preparing the fresh chicken, duck, and fish meat, he washed them and drained the water. Then, he began to mix the unique seasoning for marinating, and then smoked them with pine branch pear wood and other things.
Of course, the ingredients for the smoking were provided by the system. As long as it was related to cooking, the system was definitely a Big Shot in the world of tycoons.
It took a lot of time to smoke the cured flavor. Therefore, Yuan Zhou did each procedure slowly and carefully.
“I wonder how’s the soy sauce I brewed last time?” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of this matter.
This was when Yuan Zhou was making the wine previously. He suddenly had an idea to try making some condiments himself. Of course, although his culinary skills were top-notch, to be honest, he was still a layman when it came to making soy sauce.
