Chapter 1634: New idea and chicken wrapped in pork belly
These thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhou’s mind. After that, he checked the time and put away his thoughts. Then, he went to prepare the ingredients. After all, it was more important to greet the customers when he was open for business.
On the other side of Taoxi road, some people also started to run toward the restaurant.
“Trust me, there’s definitely no problem. RUO RUO, hurry up. If you don’t hurry up, you won’t be able to get a seat.” Feng dan urged.
Since Feng dan lost weight because of her ex-boyfriend last time, she had been maintaining her weight at about 50 kilograms. But recently, she had grown to 110 kilograms.
Just like what Jiang Changxi and Feng dan had said during the meal, if she gained weight one day, it meant that she had found a food carrier. Now, Jiang Changxi’s figure was still standard, but Feng dan had reached 110 before her.
Because she had a boyfriend three months ago, she had gained almost 10 pounds today, which was an average of about 3.3 pounds a month. But Feng dan did not lose out, because the other party’s weight was also increasing, no less than her.
It couldn’t be helped. When they were together, they were both people who liked to eat. Tonight, they would say,”I know that barbecue place is good.” Tomorrow night, they would say,”why don’t we have skewers today?” and the day after tomorrow, they would say,”crayfish walk. Didn’t you want to eat it?”
In this situation, it would be strange if she didn’t get fat. Feng dan and her boyfriend hurt each other just like that.
But today, Feng dan didn’t come to the restaurant with her current boyfriend. Instead, she came with her best friend ruoruo.
RUO RUO had recently entered a state of food aversion. To be precise, it was a staged state of food aversion. It felt like there would always be a period of time in the year when girls didn’t want to eat anything, but there was no reason for it.
Anorexia and anorexia were two different things, just like depression and depression.
The biggest feature of the former was that it wasn’t that they had no appetite, nor that they would vomit after eating. It was that they were clearly in a state of hunger, but they didn’t want to move or look for food. They would only eat something to nourish themselves when they were really famished.
“When you eat boss Yuan’s dishes, you will know that you have earned a lot. At that time, you will come to line up by yourself.” Feng dan said.
As a native of Chengdu, ruoruo naturally knew about Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. She had even been recommended by many people on the internet and had been here twice. However, she didn’t come at the right time and didn’t get a ticket. Therefore, she didn’t come again because she thought it was too troublesome.
There was no doubt that Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was delicious, very delicious. Ruoruo had never doubted this matter either. Even when she went out to have dinner with her friends occasionally, she still used Yuan’s food website to find restaurants.
The restaurant’s three main units were “Yuan,””Wu,” and “hai.” They had been hyped up by Short Video, and ruoruo, who followed fashion closely, also knew about them.
But getting back to the main topic, ruoruo, who felt that she knew Yuan Zhou’s restaurant very well, didn’t believe that she would come to line up herself like what Feng dan had said. Because in the state of food aversion, other than the toilet and bed, everywhere else was far away.
Under such circumstances, how could he come and line up by himself?
No matter what ruoruo was thinking now, she was dragged here by Feng dan early in the morning after breakfast. Strictly speaking, it was not bad that she had gotten a number for the fourth batch.
“This is bad.” Feng dan, who was in line, suddenly shouted.
Ruoruo asked,”what’s wrong?” Didn’t we already get our seats?”
“I just remembered that Sister Jiang treated me to a drink, and I said that I would treat you back next time.” “As a result, it has been delayed for half a year,” Feng dan said.
Although Sister Jiang and Sister Jiang only had a one-word difference, it felt like they were much more inferior.
“En…” Ruoruo expressed that she didn’t want to speak. She was born in the year of the goldfish, so she only had a memory of seven seconds. The words she said were often forgotten in the blink of an eye.
The most typical example was that Feng Dan’s daily routine at home was: She was looking for her phone. She had placed it by her side a second ago, but she had forgotten about it a few seconds later.
“Then you can just apologize and ask him to come back. It’s no trouble.” Ruoruo said.
Feng dan nodded upon hearing this. That was right.
There were many regular customers in line for lunch today, such as Fang Heng, sister Wan, Chen Wei, Zheng Xian, and others.
As for the reason, it was because Shen Min had already told people she was familiar with that she was going to leave Chengdu.
In fact, the drinkers who often came to the pub had a good relationship with Shen Min. After all, they met each other many times. For example, Zheng Xian would buy a big gift bag of snacks for Shen Min during the holidays.
Therefore, they all came to ask if the time of the farewell banquet had been confirmed. Zheng Xian and the others wanted to prepare a farewell gift for the little girl.
“It seems like we can’t afford to delay the recruitment of the shop assistant.” Yuan Zhou pondered in his heart.
Since the opening of the shop, the first-generation employee was mu jieyun. Then, because mu jieyun was courting death, he broke his leg and became the little loli mu Xiaoyun. Speaking of which, the first-generation employee should be mu Xiaoyun.
After that, it was Zhou Jia and Shen Min who were the second-generation employees. Now, they were going to recruit the third-generation employees.
He had just called mu Xiaoyun the day before yesterday. Mu Xiaoyun had grown from a 15 or 16 year old little loli to 19 years old. She had just started her freshman year and didn’t have the time to study as she had a lot of work to do.
Yuan Zhou’s plan to recall the first-generation employees failed.
“I wonder if the new employee is as worry-free as Jia Jia and little min.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
Yuan Zhou let out a slight sigh and threw all these miscellaneous matters to the back of his mind for the time being. The most important thing now was to serve the delicacies.
The first, second, and third batches had already been finished, and it was time for the fourth batch.
Feng dan paid special attention to Jiang Changxi. Since Jiang Changxi didn’t come today, it seemed that she could only wait for the next time. However, she took out her phone and wrote down everything in a memo. Otherwise, she would definitely forget about it.
“What would you two like to eat today?” Zhou Jia asked.
Ruoruo and Feng dan ordered fermented bitter gourd, pork belly chicken, saliva chicken, and two bowls of white rice from the 100 styles of rice cuisines.
In order to let ruoruo eat, Feng dan, her best friend, also went all out. Two of the three dishes were ruoruo’s favorite.
There was no mistake. It was chicken with pork belly and fermented bitter gourd. Although ruoruo was from Chengdu, she had been studying in Guangdong with her parents since she was young. Therefore, even though she was now working in Chengdu, her favorite dishes were still Cantonese.
“Although I’ve never tried boss Yuan’s Cantonese dishes, let me tell you, all the dishes on the menu are very delicious.” Feng dan said, drooling.
Ruoruo nodded and didn’t say anything. The two of them quietly waited for the dishes.
The first dish to be served was the saliva chicken, a classic Sichuan cold dish.
The white chicken meat, the red chili, and the white sesame seeds scattered on the surface made Feng dan drool even without eating.
“I won’t be polite first.” As she spoke, Feng dan picked up the chicken with her chopsticks. The chicken wrapped in red oil was loud and clear without dripping. Feng dan quickly stuffed it into her mouth. The slightly cold texture and the stimulating numbing and spicy taste instantly filled her mouth, as if her taste buds had been awakened.
The most important thing was that Yuan Zhou’s saliva chicken not only had a strong taste, but also a chicken taste. After all, he used the little fragrant chicken provided by the system. Moreover, the soup ingredients and heat control of the cooking chicken were also very precise.
“It’s delicious. ” Feng dan said while eating.
It was expected that he could conquer Feng dan. It should be known that in the Sichuan cuisine exemplary restaurant two years ago, even the commenter group led by Lee Yanyi was instantly conquered.
Saliva chicken got its name because of the numbness of the pepper, which would make people drool unconsciously.
However, Yuan Zhou was a drooling chicken that could achieve “three water.” When he saw it, ate it, and thought about it at the end, he would drool.
Not long after, ruoruo’s favorite fermented bitter gourd and pork belly chicken were also served.
RUO RUO, who had been holding her chopsticks and not eating, smelled the familiar fragrance and immediately perked up.
It was a very light smell of medicine mixed with the slight spiciness of white pepper, just like the spiciness of saliva chicken that Feng dan smelled. This smell instantly aroused ruoruo’s appetite.
“This pork belly chicken is so fragrant.” Ruoruo couldn’t help but ask.
In the wangci business, chicken wrapped in pig’s belly was to use the pig’s belly to wrap the raw chicken, and then tightly seal the front and back ends.
Excluding the good and bad ingredients such as the pig’s tripe and chicken, the first step was always like this. From the second step, there was a change. The pig’s tripe that had wrapped the chicken had to be put into the soup.
If the chefs in Guangdong could tell you ten or twenty different cooking methods, you would be able to cook the soup.
Yuan Zhou used the ingredients such as Jade bamboo, winter mushrooms, Dang Shen, red dates, and Gastrodia tuber, as well as the white pepper that could enhance the taste and remove the fishy smell. This way, the fragrance of the soup could be fully brought out.
It was too fragrant. Ruoruo couldn’t help but pick up a piece with her chopsticks. The pig’s stomach absorbed the fresh fragrance of the chicken and ate it in one bite. The pig’s stomach was soft and slightly chewy, while the chicken was tender and smooth. It was simply a double taste of meat spreading in the mouth.
He took another sip of the soup. It was warm, and there was no fishy smell of the internal organs at all. Instead, it went perfectly with the white pepper.
He simply couldn’t stop eating. Ruoruo ate one mouthful after another. As for not having an appetite, what was that? Can it be eaten?
“How is it? it’s not bad, right?” Feng dan asked.
“This is way too delicious.” “Although I know boss Yuan’s culinary skills are very good, it’s simply cheating for him to make such a delicious dish like the pork belly chicken, which can be seen everywhere in Guangdong, to be so delicious,” said ruoruo.
Feng dan smiled smugly. After all, she was the one who had brought him here, so she felt honored to hear this.
After a pause, she said,”you have an appetite, right? then eat more.”
“Who wouldn’t have an appetite when faced with such a delicacy?” Ruoruo said.
She really had an appetite now. The pork belly chicken was not missing a single portion, and ruoruo actually ate more than half of it by herself. She also left nothing for Feng dan to eat.
Of course, ruoruo expressed that it wasn’t that she didn’t want to give it to her best friend, but that her best friend didn’t know how to appreciate it.
“Why would anyone eat something like bitter gourd? bitter gourds are bitter.” Feng dan saw ruoruo eating with relish and couldn’t help but Mutter.
“It’s not bitter. Try it if you don’t believe me,”ruoruo said.
“Nonsense, if bitter gourd isn’t bitter, how can it be called bitter gourd? When I was young, my grandfather also told me that it wasn’t bitter and tricked me into eating one, and then… Hehe. ” Feng dan chuckled.
“Really, I’m not lying to you.” RUO RUO finished the bitter gourd in one or two bites.
However, no matter what ruoruo said, Feng dan refused to eat the bitter gourd. In Feng Dan’s words, she believed in boss Yuan’s capability and also believed that boss Yuan could make the dishes that she didn’t like to taste delicious. However, there were five dishes on the menu. There were obviously dishes that she liked and dishes that she had never tried before, but they were all waiting for her. Why did she have to eat the dishes that she didn’t like?
Ruoruo didn’t try to persuade him anymore, and she ate even more happily.
“No wonder it was said on the internet that boss Yuan is the number one chef in China. In other restaurants, it’s already very good to have one or two very delicious dishes as their signature dishes. But here, all the dishes are so delicious. The fermented bitter gourd is also the best I’ve ever eaten.”
The two of them finished eating.
The first thought that came to ruoruo’s mind after she walked out of the restaurant was,”it seems that in the future, other than going to the toilet, bed, and Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, everything else is far away.”
She threw her previous thoughts of how it was impossible for her to come and line up to eat to the back of her mind. Tonight, she was going to line up and eat again!
After sending off the last batch of customers, lunchtime ended. After quickly sculpting the 100 dan and eight generals from Water Margin, Yuan Zhou came to the chef’s Association.
How could an organization like the chef’s Association not be busy? as they had informed him in advance, Zhou Shijie had prepared enough time for Yuan Zhou.
In the beginning, Zhou Shijie was worried that Yuan Zhou would delay the time, so he prepared to say that he would come to the restaurant by himself. However, he was immediately refused by Yuan Zhou. How could he let an elder come here to ask for advice?
No matter how many times he came to the chef’s Association building, Yuan Zhou would always feel that there were too many things to manage.
This was because the club was divided into the members Department, International Department, Exhibition Department, Information Department, Human Resources Department, industry development Department, and other departments.
There were also the fast food Committee, the famous chef Committee, the Western food Committee, the gourmet Nutrition Committee, and so on. There were too many branches.
In fact, it was not strange that the National chef’s Association and the Sichuan cuisine Association were both in Chengdu.
It was very simple. The United Nations Educational organization awarded seven cities the title of “capital of food,” among which three cities in China were named: Chengdu, Shunde, and Macau, so it was understandable that the chef’s Association would be held in Chengdu.
After entering Zhou Shijie’s office, Yuan Zhou and Zhou Shijie started a brainstorming session. Zhou Shijie had seen too many storms and waves, therefore, he also mentioned two possibilities. Yuan Zhou tried it in the kitchen of the chef’s Association on the spot… And it didn’t work.
“The technology behind the real perfume is too difficult to replicate. There’s too little information left behind.” Zhou Shijie couldn’t help sighing with emotion. Then, he advised,””Little Yuan, don’t be too stubborn. This real perfume might have been used by chefs for several generations, or it might have been inspired by chance and can’t be rushed.”
“I know, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
After a while, Zhou Shijie said again,”I’m still looking forward to the legendary zhaoma banquet with roasted whole cows.”
The invitation letters had been sent to the elders by Yuan Zhou.
“Don’t worry, uncle Zhou. I’ll give you a surprise. ” Yuan Zhou was talking about the ox-splitting knife.
Zhou Shijie thought that he was referring to the lost zhama banquet. The roasted whole lamb at the zhama banquet had already amazed him.
“By the way, if you want to restore the real perfume, little Yuan, you can talk to steamed bun Ji.” Zhou Shijie said.
The steamed bun Ji that Zhou Shijie was talking about was naturally master of cooked Wheaten food, Ji Yi.
Yuan Zhou came back to his senses. True, the real perfume was added to the cooked Wheaten food. Perhaps the master of cooked Wheaten food had a way to make it. After all, there were specializations in different fields.
On his way back to his restaurant from the chef’s Association, Yuan Zhou specially bought two red packets. He went upstairs and found something. Finally, he found the A4 recruitment papers that he had used last time in the cabinet that was often used to write leave requests.
That’s right. After using it last time, Yuan Zhou had said that he would keep it for the next time. Yuan Zhou was a man of his word when it came to saving money.
Yuan Zhou had kept the A4 recruitment paper well and it was still brand new. However, he had to alter it this time.

“Yes, it’s almost time.” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help nodding his head while looking at the recruitment Notice.
The insurance was bought by Yuan Zhou ever since Shen Min got injured. As for the business hours of the BBQ, they had also been improved.
“The difference in working hours between night and day shifts is so big, but the salary is the same. Is there a problem?” Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and then shook his head.
“Night shifts are always tougher than day shifts, so there’s no problem with this arrangement,” he answered his own question.
Why did they still work the day and night shifts? Yuan Zhou also hoped to leave the opportunity to those who worked part-time like Zhou Jia and Shen Min.
As for Zhou Jia and Shen Min, Yuan Zhou looked at the big red packet and prepared to give them the money when they left.
