And Yuanzhou is also tasting delicious food again and again, learning the advantages of others and avoiding possible mistakes. Now it is natural to pursue perfection.
Keep eating.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Yuan Zhou finished eating the five stores recorded in the notebook. Each store has its own advantages and some inevitable shortcomings. Yuan Zhou tried his best to objectively evaluate the delicacies he put into his mouth.
Yuanzhou put away the half-filled notebook, hailed a car, and prepared to return to the store.
"No. 14, Taoxi Road, thank you." Yuan Zhou got in the car and directly reported the name of the place, then closed his eyes and thought about the combination of food and the heat.
"Okay." The master responded, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi drove off.
There was not much time, and it was just four o'clock when we returned to the store. Yuanzhou took a short rest, washed and changed clothes again, then opened the door with a "crash" and started business.
After a while, Mu Xiaoyun also arrived at the store and started doing chores such as cleaning the table.
"Xiaoyun, you'd better go back at eight o'clock." Yuan Zhou said as he sat in his seat.
"But boss, what should I do next time?" Mu Xiaoyun asked habitually.
"I'll do it myself." Yuan Zhou said directly.
"I can help, boss." Mu Xiaoyun clenched her fists and said seriously.
"No need." Yuan Zhou flatly refused.
"Okay." Mu Xiaoyun knew that Yuan Zhou's decision would basically not change, so he could only accept it.
While they were talking, the old man at the door came over with Wang Shuyuan.
"It's a coincidence that Boss Yuan opens the door very early today." The old man started to say hello as soon as he came in.
Wang Shuyuan followed behind, silently observing the environment.
The open kitchen was a failure. If there was a smell of cooking fumes, it would affect customers' taste. Wang Shuyuan frowned.
There are no other worries about the rest, and the tables, chairs and benches are all clean.
Originally, Wang Shuyuan wanted to sit at the small table over there, but the old man was already used to sitting at the long curved table, so he had already sat down and waited for him.
"The menu is on the wall behind. You can order it yourself. You can only order one item of each item." The old man introduced it with familiarity.
"You come here a lot." Wang Shuyuan glanced at the old man, then turned to look at the menu wall.
The first thing that catches the eye are the rules. There are several rules written on the wall, which look very personal.
Then there are the gleaming golden 1888 tea eggs, which are the most expensive among them, and then there are the meats that Wang Shuyuan likes.
It's true that although Wang Shuyuan is older, he likes to eat meat more, but the price makes Wang Shuyuan feel that it is really not an ordinary small restaurant.
"In this way, I'll have a portion of Jinling grass, claws and anchovies that melt in your mouth, and then a set of egg fried rice." Wang Shuyuan knew that this restaurant was expensive, so he kept a lot of money on his body just for eating.
"The old man doesn't have that much money, so I'll just order an egg fried rice set and eat your food." The old man said proudly.
"No problem, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish it." Wang Shuyuan ordered according to the appetite of the two of them, so he naturally agreed.
"Wait a moment, you two." Yuanzhou didn't know the identity of the new guests, so he just responded in a normal way, and then handled the ingredients according to his strict requirements.
"This technique is pretty good." Wang Shuyuan said as he looked at Yuan Zhou and carefully cleaned the golden grass.
"Indeed, that's not all. I heard that this young master is also very good at knife skills, and the best thing is his carving skills." The old man was familiar with all the treasures.
"You can tell just by looking at it, but how to deal with the oil fume?" Wang Shuyuan nodded, looked around and asked.
"If you didn't mention it, I really wouldn't have thought of it. This looks like an open kitchen, but there is no smell of oil smoke when the fried rice is fried." The old man suddenly realized that he had always thought there was something strange, but now he understood it.
"Not at all?" Wang Shuyuan couldn't believe it.
"It's true, I don't know what kind of range hood is so powerful." The old man was still trying to figure out what brand of range hood it was.
"It should be specially designed." Wang Shuyuan concluded.
"Probably, but the effect of the range hood should also be very good." The old man was still obsessed with the range hood.
Over there, Yuanzhou has stewed the claws that melt in your mouth and started to process the shrimps.
"Oh, let's relax it first, and then we can get the shrimp line." Wang Shuyuan looked at it and said directly.
"This old boy knows a lot." The old man also began to watch Yuan Zhou's smooth handling of shrimps seriously.
"The techniques are experienced and it seems that he has some skills." Wang Shuyuan said secretly.
At this time, Yuanzhou had already begun to fry the shrimps. When he smelled it, there was no smell of oil smoke. Wang Shuyuan was relieved and waited.
Yuan Zhou processes the ingredients very quickly, so it was basically completed and ready to be served in ten minutes.
"Meals for the two of you." Yuan Zhou put them down one by one.
"The color, aroma, meaning, and shape are all basically there, but I don't know what the most important thing is about the taste." Wang Shuyuan was eager to try it.
"You'll know it once you taste it." Yuan Zhou is absolutely confident in his craftsmanship.
"Then old man, let's try it." Wang Shuyuan picked up the chopsticks and pointed them at the raw golden grass that was served directly to the table.
Of course Artemisia Wang Shuyuan is familiar with Jinling grass, but he has never seen one that is still green after being fried like this.
As soon as you enter the mouth, the unique fragrance of artemisia hits your taste buds instantly, it is fresh and pleasant, as if a large green area is unfolding in front of your eyes, and your soul is relaxed.
Here Wang Shuyuan was tasting it seriously, but the old man started eating it as if he was familiar with it. He had a mouthful of egg fried rice and a chopstick of refreshing Jinling grass, and it was a pleasure to eat.
Wang Shuyuan tasted each dish first, and the last one was the egg fried rice set.
As a basic dish of Chinese food, egg fried rice is really not very demanding. If you say it is low, it is definitely not low. Who can make every grain of rice covered with egg liquid, and make it fluffy and soft, fresh and tender in the mouth? Use moderation.
As for the side dishes, they are the icing on the cake and the taste is incredible.
Two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish, plus two sets of egg fried rice, made the two old men eat with joy, and the plates quickly ran out of food.
After taking the last sip of the soup, Wang Shuyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said, "The little master's craftsmanship is really impressive."
"First of all, even the decoration can be made so fresh and refreshing, imaginative and beautiful at the same time. It is simply perfect." Wang Shuyuan first praised Yuan Zhou for not being wasteful.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded and thanked him.
"It's really delicious, and this golden egg fried rice is amazing. This is the first time I've seen egg fried rice that can actually wrap the egg liquid into pieces. As for its side dishes, I won't say much, just one word, good." Wang Shuyuan continued.
"This phoenix tail shrimp should be the most authentic Jinling signature dish. I haven't seen such fake phoenix tail shrimps in many years." Wang Shuyuan sighed as he looked at the empty plate.
"As for the taste of the chicken feet that tastes like ice and fire, it should have been specially processed." Wang Shuyuan thought of the brittle bones of the chicken feet.
"Okay, why don't you prepare a series of comments?" The old man interrupted Wang Shuyuan's contemplation.
"No, it's just that this young master has such top-notch skills at his age. Talent and hard work are indispensable." Wang Shuyuan came back to his senses and looked at the dishes he had eaten with satisfaction.
"That's not true. Master Yuan's craftsmanship is really nothing to say." The old man looked proud, as if he had something to do with it.
