Chapter 1629: A big gift bag of street food
Wang Hong Ran out and found it was man man.
“Man man, what’s the matter?” Wang Hong asked.
“A great author is already very impressive.” Man man laughed and said,”they’re holding a press conference for their new books now.”
“I’m just average. I’m ranked third,”Wang Hong replied.
“Can our restaurant really rank third?” Man man started to count with her fingers,”famous author, do you mean that he can be compared to boss Yuan?” He’s still better than brother Wu, Sister Jiang or brother Ling. “
“Cough, cough, cough.” Wang Hong coughed and changed the topic.””Actually, I finally understand what the crow beast said.”
“What did he say?” Man man asked.
“Master chef Restaurant is the largest ingredient warehouse,” Wang Hong said firmly.
Man man nodded her head in agreement.
“By the way, Manman, what’s the matter?” Wang Hong asked.
“I’m not the one looking for you. Boss Yuan is the one looking for you. ” Speaking of this matter, man man was a bit envious and jealous.
Man man said,”boss Yuan said that he made a small cake for you to celebrate the release conference of your new book. He wants you to eat it directly in his restaurant after the conference.”
“Really? Really?” Wang Hong was even happier now. He continued excitedly,””Hahaha. Boss Yuan, you are such a good friend. As the saying goes, misfortunes never come alone, but blessings come in pairs. Today, I’m blessed with Double Happiness.”
“It makes me want to write a book too. That’s a cake made by boss Yuan. I’ve never even eaten it before.” Man man was so jealous that she felt as if she had been separated from him.
There wasn’t a cake on the menu yet, so most people wouldn’t have the chance to eat it.
“Hehehe, I have no choice. Do you want half of it?” Wang Hong pretended to be polite.
Man man nodded her head and agreed without any hesitation,””Alright.”
“Uh… I’m just being polite.” Wang Hong was speechless.
“I know, but I took it seriously!” Man man said straightforwardly.
“…” Wang Hong didn’t know that it could be done this way.
“That whatever black beast isn’t here, right?” Wang Hong collected his thoughts and suddenly thought of a crucial point.
“He’s not here. Brother Wu seems to be managing the gallery.” “I even went to the Art Gallery to take a look,” man man said.”Well… I can’t really appreciate the style of the decoration.”
Wang Hong didn’t pay much attention to the Art Gallery, as long as Wu Hai wasn’t there when he was eating the cake.
After that, man man stayed to watch the new book conference.
At the press conference of the new book.
Wang Hong sat at the head of the table with the editor of the publishing house beside him.
The media began to ask questions.
“Author Wang Hong, many readers of your new book evil extermination 2 would like to ask if Fang Heng, the demoness of the heavenly demon sect, will appear again.”
“In the first movie, Fang Heng fell off the cliff. It did not state whether he was Dead or Alive. But it will not appear in this movie. We can’t rule out the possibility of a third movie.” “The second movie is about the protagonist’s lifelong friends,” Wang Hong said.”They are also his biggest opponents.”
In fact, Fang Heng, who had been showing off for the sake of ‘revenge’, should have died after falling off the cliff when Wang Hong wrote it. However, the witch Fang Heng was too popular, so they arranged for her to appear in the third film a third time.
“The protagonist’s biggest friend and biggest rival,” the media asked.”What kind of role is he?”
“He’s the legendary most handsome man in the world. He’s known as the cold-faced young master. He can rely on his looks to make a living, but he has to rely on his abilities. He’s also an extremely outstanding mathematician who can also calculate his opponents during a duel. It’s an attempt to integrate mathematics into wuxia. His weapon is a unique long rule.” Wang Hong said.
In fact, in the history of Huaxia, there had been records of tools for drawing circles a long time ago. Just like many ancient statues, there were Nuwa and Fuxi who followed the rules.
“I can’t say more,” Wang Hong said.”Everyone, read it in the book.”
This time, the questions were all about the content of the books. The media seemed to be very cooperative, but it was not that they were cooperating, but that they were all arranged by the publishing house, so they all asked questions about the books.
Man man seemed to have understood something as she muttered,””I know why Boss yuan can bake cakes. If I’m not wrong, the weapon compass is definitely a compass.”
There were still many readers at the press conference of his new book. Hence, Wang Hong had to spend some time signing the books. Overall, it was a success. There were already more than 20000 preorders online.
This was the embodiment of the popularity of the first film.
After another hour, Wang Hong was almost done with his business. He first thanked Li Li’s Western restaurant for their cooperation and then went straight to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
Of course, man man, who could get half of the cake, also followed behind him obediently. She had really learned her shamelessness from the Black Beast.
“If I’m not wrong, Wang Hong, the most handsome man in your book is surnamed Yuan, right?” He said slowly.
Wang Hong nodded his head silently.
“Then Mingzhou.” Man man continued.
There was no mistake. The most handsome man in the underworld that Wang Hong mentioned in the second movie was Yuan Zhou.
“Not bad. I’m really convinced by your flattery. No wonder boss Yuan baked a cake for you to celebrate.” He said slowly.
Man man was also a regular customer. Although Yuan Zhou didn’t admit it, man man had always regarded Yuan Zhou as her master because she had learned the kneading skills from him.
As for Yuan Zhou’s character, man man, the hidden disciple, was quite clear about it. Yuan Zhou had a cold appearance but a kind heart. On the surface, he appeared to be calm. But in fact, when something happened to his friends or acquaintances, he would run away the fastest. Everyone should have known this by now.
However, making a cake to celebrate the release of a new book was obviously not Yuan Zhou’s character. So that was what happened, man man thought to herself.
If Yuan Zhou knew what man man was thinking, he would definitely be very surprised. How could his well-hidden image of an aloof Prince Charming be seen through by everyone?
“How can you call writing a book a rainbow fart?!” Wang Hong argued loudly,”I have discussed with boss Yuan about the character when I was writing. This character is based on boss Yuan. How can you insult someone’s innocence without any basis?”
“Alright, alright,” Man man didn’t want to argue with Wang Hong because she had a new idea. She was thinking about whether she should find an opportunity to present a big cake with the words: The Prince Charming will always be young
No, if she wrote ‘Forever Young’, would it make others think that she was saying that he was very old now? then she should write ‘Prince Charming is too tall’… Man man fell into deep thought.
It was known that Li Li’s Western restaurant was right opposite Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Therefore, the time arrived before man man could come up with an idea. The time was just right after the breakfast time and Yuan Zhou had yet to start preparing the ingredients for lunch.
“Was the press conference a success?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“It’s quite a success,” Wang Hong said.”It’ll definitely sell better than the first one.”
Yuan Zhou nodded his head contentedly and then took out the red velvet cake that he had prepared earlier. The overall shape of this cake was in the shape of a book, which was totally different from the one he had made for Yin ya, which was in the shape of a heart.
“I’m here to celebrate the release of Wang Hong’s new book, not because Wang Hong wrote that I’m the most handsome man in the world. Yes, that’s right.” Yuan Zhou had successfully convinced himself.
“You really want half?” As a man, Wang Hong indeed didn’t like to eat cake that much, but that was referring to other people and not the cakes made by Yuan Zhou.
“Yes, just half will do, thank you.” Man man put her palms together, tilted her head and gave her thanks with a beautiful smile.
“My head hurts.” Wang Hong’s face was full of pain, but he still gave half of the food to the plate that man man had prepared.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Man man took a deep breath of the sweet and fragrant flavor of the cake, picked up her fork and started to eat.
By the way, man man had specially bought the fork and plate outside the restaurant after Wang Hong had agreed to buy it. This was to eliminate the possibility of being rejected without a plate and fork.
Therefore, Wang Hong had no choice but to accept it. Although his heart ached when he saw that half of the cake was gone, the food in front of him was more important.
Therefore, Wang Hong also picked up the spoon prepared by Yuan Zhou and started to eat.
There were few men who liked sweet things like cake. After all, it was sweet and greasy. Therefore, Wang Hong only scooped a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Before the cake even entered his mouth, a faint Milky aroma wafted into his nose. This aroma had the smell of milk, but it wasn’t sickening. This made Wang Hong even more excited about the taste of the cake.
As soon as it entered his mouth, the red berry red velvet cake immediately melted in his mouth. The rich fruit aroma filled his mouth, mixed with the aroma of milk, and was very soft.
“MMM, it’s delicious. It’s not greasy at all, and the sweetness is just right. The milk is too delicious, and there’s also the sweet fragrance of mixed fruits.” Wang Hong squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
After taking a bite of the red velvet bottom, Wang Hong began to work on the book cover made of cream.
She directly scooped a spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth. The silky texture of the cream spread in her mouth, and the fragrance of the milk followed.
The milk’s fragrance was as if it had just been squeezed out of a farm. The milk’s fragrance was very strong, and the sweetness was just right. It was not sweet enough to make one’s throat hurt, nor was it just the taste of foam.
The milk was dense and fine, and the milk smelled sweet. It could be said to be of the best quality.
“The cream on this is also delicious. It’s super fresh and doesn’t have the greasy taste of other cream at all.” Wang Hong continued to praise.
On the other side, man man had already been eating the food with a blissful look.
“There’s still an hour left before I prepare the ingredients. I can finish reading ‘guanggong’s travels’.” Yuan Zhou didn’t participate in the sharing of the cake. He just sat at the side and read his own book.
He called Qin Kaili today and told her that the tour group would stop for a day tomorrow.
As he was going to have an exchange of culinary skills with the master in the afternoon, Yuan Zhou didn’t tell her the reason since Qin Kelly didn’t ask why.
After reading the travel notes, Yuan Zhou found that the taste of the customers at the end of the Qing Dynasty was quite different from that of the customers now.
And this difference, apart from the environment, was also the evolution of food.
For example, in the late Qing Dynasty of Sichuan cuisine, the dishes with garlic were far less than the current Sichuan cuisine with garlic.
There was evolution and evolution, which was why it was called food culture.
“But is the real perfume real?” Yuan Zhou fell into deep thought.
At the end of “guanggong’s travels”, it was said that Guangli went to a small county in Yu Province. There was a very famous noodle restaurant in the small county, and as a foodie, Guangli naturally went there.
He ordered a bowl of noodles, but it tasted terrible. Not only was the noodles soft and chewy, but the taste was also like chewing wax. Guangli was not satisfied on the spot. He stood up and asked the boss why the food tasted so bad.
Then, the owner of the noodle restaurant said unhurriedly,””So you want to eat delicious noodles? you should’ve said so earlier. It’s just that the price for unpalatable and delicious noodles are different.”
Then, Guangli was a little dumbfounded. This was just like buying seafood on Yingzhou Island. The seller would clearly ask you if you wanted to weigh it properly or not. It was just as amazing.
When you’re doing business and selling things to customers, shouldn’t you be able to weigh them? By the same logic, it was also necessary to sell food and make good food.
Guangli was not short of money, so he immediately asked for good food.
Initially, he thought that master PU would prepare another bowl of noodles for him, but he didn ‘t. Instead, he poured a transparent liquid into the noodles before letting Guangli continue eating.
How could it be delicious like this? however, Guangli was extremely shocked when he ate it in one bite. The taste was spicy yet sweet, and the noodles became chewy.
Guangli immediately asked,”what was added to this?” owner PU said it was “real perfume.” Guangli was about to continue asking, but owner PU told him to eat quickly, or else the noodles would not taste good.
The book did not mention what a real perfume was. Perhaps Guangli did not manage to find out back then.
“Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, it won’t taste good anymore. This proves that the real perfume can only temporarily enhance the taste of the noodles.”
If it was only to improve the taste of the food temporarily, Yuan Zhou couldn’t make the transparent liquid, but he could still make the sauce to improve the taste.
However, it would be difficult to make the noodles chewy. According to Guangli’s description, Yuan Zhou felt that even if he mixed the noodles with the chemical compounds, it would still be difficult to achieve the effect described in the book.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou specially went to the chef’s Association and the ancient books Association to inquire. Except for guanggong’s travels, there were no other books with related records.
Of course, he couldn’t think that the records were fake. After all, ancient information was not developed. Besides, other than the records of real perfume, the rest of the records could be traced.
The travel notes were written realistically, so he couldn’t possibly write something fake at the end.
“Even if the travel notes ‘description of the real perfume’s effects is a little exaggerated, from Guangli’s comments on other food along the way, I can tell that he is still very picky about food.”
For example, Guangli finished a bowl of noodles in a shorter time, only five minutes.
“After removing the sense of taste deception, I should be able to increase my score by at least two points in about ten minutes.”
It took more than five minutes to improve the taste of the cooked Wheaten food by two points. It was almost like magic. Yuan Zhou supported his chin with his hand and couldn’t figure it out.
“System, is there really such a real perfume?” Yuan Zhou asked the system in his heart.
The system displayed,”yes.”
“Do you have it?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“No, I didn ‘t,” The system’s display was quite straightforward.
“You don’t even record the real perfume, system.” Yuan Zhou got it immediately.
The system displayed,”the real perfume has been lost.”
Not only in China, but in the world, many dishes were lost for various reasons.
However, in Yuan Zhou’s opinion, there were three ways that were lost. The first way was that there was no chef who knew how to cook, but there were records of it in ancient books or recipes.
The second method didn’t have a chef’s Guild, nor were there any ancient books or recipes, but the system kept it.
Finally, there was no chef’s Guild, no ancient books, and no ancient recipes. The system didn’t save them, either. It could only judge whether they had existed or not. This was a true loss.
As mentioned before, if the ingredients were not circulated, the system would not be able to record them. For example, the cilantro of the little Dragon Mountain, which was the peak of Yuan Zhou’s life.
It was the same for ingredients and recipes. If there were no records or word of mouth, the system would not be able to record it.
“No wonder there are no records of it except for travel notes. It seems that the owner of the noodle restaurant didn’t pass down this skill. He didn’t even tell anyone after he created it.” Yuan Zhou had roughly guessed the truth of the matter.
“System, quickly give me a mission. I’ll restore the real perfume.” Yuan Zhou said.
Given his relationship with the system, it was easy for him to get a mission.
The next second, the mission was really issued.
The system displayed,”does the host accept the mission” restore the real perfume “?”
“I accept.” Yuan Zhou checked it immediately. He wanted to see what reward he could get.
[Mission] restoring the real perfume (incomplete)
(Hint: you have seen the magical and lost seasoning in “guanggong’s travels.” Brave young man, quickly conquer it!)
[Mission reward] a big gift bag of street food
Yuan Zhou was quite satisfied with the reward. Previously, he had been talking about the stinky tofu that would stink the entire Street. He had never expected that the reward would come so soon.
Street snacks were different from the chicken shreds cold noodles, which had obvious cuisines. Street snacks had no cuisines and could be eaten almost all over the country. They were not covered by cuisines.
Stir-fried yogurt, teppanyaki tofu, teppanyaki squid, roasted sweet potatoes, fruit shaved ice, roasted potatoes…
Speaking of which, she had a great appetite. Yuan Zhou had also cooked the iron plate squid before, but it was specially made for Yin ya.
“System, my little comrade, you really know my intentions.” Yuan Zhou burst into laughter.
After laughing out loud, he couldn’t help falling silent. It wasn’t easy to get this reward. After all, Yuan Zhou didn’t have any idea about the real perfume at the moment.
