2702 Both are delicious
He agreed to boss Tong’s invitation to treat him, saying that mo Qian wanted to thank him. No matter what the reason was, it was necessary to prepare gifts when visiting. Yuan Zhou intended to make some pastries and bring them over.
Boss Tong liked to eat tofu. Yuan Zhou didn’t know if it was because of her previous experience as an apprentice in the tofu shop. In any case, Yuan Zhou knew that the only dishes she came to the restaurant to eat were the tofu dishes.
“I think it’s better to make some tofu pudding and bring it to aunt Tong.”
As for mo Qian, Yuan Zhou knew that as long as boss Tong was happy, he would also be very happy. Just like when Yin ya was happy, he would also be very happy. It was the same principle.
After making up his mind, Yuan Zhou went to the kitchen and started to choose the soybeans. They were all the top-grade soybeans provided by the system. In Yuan Zhou’s eyes, there were different grades of soybeans. He directly picked the ones with perfect appearance as a backup. As for the others, he didn’t want them, such as the ones that were 80% or 90% perfect.
Picking beans was definitely a skill. Otherwise, Cinderella’s step-mother wouldn’t have made things difficult for her by picking beans. However, it was very simple for Yuan Zhou.
As long as he repeated the action of picking it up and putting it down, he could tell which one was suitable and which one was not with a glance.
After the selection, the next step was to wash it carefully. Using the water provided by the system, he first washed it once, then slowly and carefully washed it again. Finally, he could begin to soak it.
As for the fact that the water used for washing was different every time, Yuan Zhou indicated that he didn’t know that. As long as the system didn’t come out to explain it to him, he would just take it as he was using ordinary tap water.
As a rich and generous person, he would never be stingy when it came to the convenience of the ingredients. Yuan Zhou had already been quite used to it.
It was hard not to get used to living in a vortex where humans were inferior to pigs, cows, plants, and fruits every day.
While Yuan Zhou was choosing the beans and soaking them, mo Qian also started the same work.
Although the quality of the beans was not as good as Yuan Zhou ‘s, mo Zhao was still preparing them seriously. He checked the beans five times before he felt that they were ready. Then, he began to wash the beans with the spring water from the mountain, which had a sweet taste.
Mo Zhao had put in 120% of his effort to rub the beans carefully and make sure that there were no scars on the surface of the beans and that all the dust on the surface was clean.
While washing the beans, mo Zhao would pick up the beans with small scabs and discard them.
Whether it was to entertain Yuan Zhou tomorrow or to cook the best tofu pudding rice for boss Tong, mo Zhao was full of energy and did everything seriously.
Time flew by, and soon, the lunch time of the next day was over.
Those that needed to be fried were deep-fried, those that needed to be steamed were steamed, and those that needed to be refrigerated had already been refrigerated.
By the time Yuan Zhou set off, the four kinds of tofu pudding had already been prepared.
Yuan Zhou had just told her yesterday that Yin ya might be going on a business trip in the next two days. Unexpectedly, when she came back on the same night, she told Yuan Zhou that she would be going on a business trip the next day. Therefore, she had to go to the appointment alone in the afternoon after seeing Yin ya off in the morning.
In order to free up some free time, Yin ya had been so busy recently that her feet didn’t even touch the ground. She was almost as busy as Yuan Zhou. If it wasn’t for Yuan Zhou’s good logistics work and good food, Yin ya would have lost several pounds instead of maintaining her previous weight like now.
Of course, Yin ya didn’t know whether she should cry or laugh about this. She should be happy that she didn’t gain weight, but she should have slimmed down. This complicated feeling was like eating white sugar and chili at the same time, which was hard to describe.
“Good afternoon, aunt Tong.”
When Yuan Zhou arrived at a tofu shop, he saw boss Tong standing at the door and waiting for him. At first sight, he knew she was waiting for him.
Ever since mo Qian and boss Tong went out for a walk from time to time, there was a tofu shop that was as willful as its name. There were no rules at all when it opened its shop. It could really open its shop whenever it wanted.
This strange rule also attracted a lot of people who liked to hunt for novelty to eat tofu pudding to prove their luck.
“Little Yuan, you’re here. Please come in. It’s enough that you’re here. Why did you bring things? I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’re going to have a family soon. Why are you still so extravagant? you should be more careful.”
The first reaction of boss Tong when she saw the lunchbox that Yuan Zhou handed to her was that Yuan Zhou was spending money recklessly again. As an elder who had been through this, she felt that she should share more of her experience with Yuan Zhou so that he would have a better idea of his future life.
She knew how expensive the dishes in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were, but in her heart, it was what Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship deserved. It was not easy to make money, so she would naturally try to save as much as possible.
“No, I just made a few desserts with tofu. This is a new dish. Aunt Tong, you can help me try it.” Yuan Zhou was already able to deal with such a situation proficiently.
Boss Tong definitely meant well and he couldn’t not appreciate her kindness. However, Yuan Zhou also had his own standards of handling things. He could only find a balance in the middle, which was something he had learned from the experience of the old grandma.
“I’ll have to try the tofu pastry. ” Hearing that, boss Tong’s eyes lit up almost unnoticeably.
Speaking of which, he had eaten quite a lot of tofu and even the tofu banquet specially prepared by Yuan Zhou. However, he had never eaten the pastries specially made by tofu. He was really in luck this time. The dishes produced by Yuan Zhou would definitely taste very good.
The two of them walked into the shop after a few words. The shop was the same as before, with only two or three tables in a simple and crude way. Mo Zhao was standing in front of a big iron pot, beating foam into the tofu pudding. It was a familiar scene.
Inexplicably, Yuan Zhou recalled the tofu pudding he had here when he brought Cheng zhaomei, Wu Hai, and Ling Hong to the vegetable base not far away from here to pick vegetables.
At that time, she had thought that the tofu pudding was not bad. She did not expect that after a few years, she would be able to eat mo Zhao’s tofu pudding again.
When he saw Yuan Zhou come in, mo Zhao was attentively serving the tofu pudding and thus didn’t greet him. Anyway, with boss Tong around, he was quite at ease.
The tofu pudding was quickly served.
There was a yellow beancurd in a big rough porcelain bowl, which looked pretty good. A plate of bean paste with some chopped green onions was enough.
“Little Yuan, try it. How does it taste?” Mo Xiao looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.
This was the tofu pudding that he had made with all his efforts. He felt that it was definitely very delicious, but he still needed the evaluation of Yuan Zhou, a professional, before he could make a final decision.
In the past, mo Qian called Yuan Zhou boss Yuan or head chef Yuan. But ever since he had talked to boss Tong, he had changed his name to little Yuan. Together with boss Tong, he could take care of Yuan Zhou. Even if Yuan Zhou didn’t need it, he felt that he could still do his best.
Most importantly, he felt closer to boss Tong.
Yuan Zhou picked up his chopsticks and dipped a piece of tofu pudding in the sauce before putting it into his mouth. Immediately, he could figure out what kind of beans were used, where was the water used, the temperature of the cooking was a little too high, and a series of other problems. In short, he could only describe it as unpalatable.
It was completely different from the previous time. Yuan Zhou remained silent for a while and then looked at boss Tong who was eating very happily at the side,””Aunt Tong, do you think it’s delicious?”
“Of course it’s delicious. Although little Yuan’s cooking is really good, I think old man Mo’s cooking is also very good. He made this especially for me, so it must be really good.”
The tofu in boss Tong’s bowl was deliberately scooped into a heart shape, which looked very delicate and pretty. With the bright red chili sauce as embellishment, it looked quite like it.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head thoughtfully and something flashed past his mind like a spark.
