Yuanzhou selected the materials, put on a mask, took out a small stone mill from the cabinet, and prepared to grind the five-spice powder.
Yuan Zhou likes to grind these things by hand, believing that this can better bring out the flavor of the ingredients and extract their essence.
The stone mill made a "squeaking" sound, and Yuan Zhou grasped the order of adding each ingredient just right. As the powder slowly came out, the fragrance of the five-spice powder became stronger and stronger.
Yuanzhou stopped after grinding out a small bowl.
Take out the broad beans, open the lid with a pop, pour out the beans inside, and start adding water and stirring with a small transparent stick that looks like crystal.
This can avoid damaging the skin of the broad beans to the greatest extent, and use the centrifugal force of the circle to wash the broad beans.
Finally, Yuanzhou reached out and carefully cleaned some small places one by one, rinsed them with water, poured them into bamboo strips to drain the water.
Then put all the seasonings in a large copper pot, add water to cover the broad beans and raise them to a finger level, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to the lowest heat and simmer for an hour until crispy, then the spiced beans are ready.
During this period, the aroma of allspice powder slowly penetrates into the beans, and the aroma is fragrant.
The aroma of spiced beans is the most irresistible. When the system is not showing its power, this aroma basically arouses everyone's greed.
"This kid, I'll secretly prepare delicious food as soon as I leave." Wu Hai quickly ran downstairs and came to the door of Yuanzhou's shop.
Wu Hai didn't care about this and just banged on the door.
The people on the side started to yell, "Boss Yuan is so abominable. He cooks delicious food with the door closed every time. There is no female vote for eating alone."
"You can pull it off, it sounds like Boss Yuan will have female votes if he doesn't eat alone, but it's really delicious."
"No, it's like the greedy people are rebelling." The diner patted his belly helplessly.
"Try harder, I think Boss Yuan hasn't heard yet." He didn't mind watching the excitement, but directly instigated Wu Hai, which felt like he was trying to break down the door.
"Aren't you all curious about what fragrance this is?" someone suddenly asked.
The scene was silent for a while, and then Wu Hai said angrily, "You'll know after you open the door and eat."
"Yes, then you continue." The man said and made a gesture of invitation.
"You won't knock?" Wu Hai looked at the people lining up behind him and said speechlessly.
"Wu Hai, you are more powerful, come on." The diners said one after another.
"Stop knocking, Xiaoyun is here." Wu Hai withdrew his hand and watched Mu Xiaoyun walk closer.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xiaoyun saw that the diners at the door were looking at him with confusion.
"It's okay, your boss should have opened the door." Wu Hai said seriously.
"Well, it's time in five minutes." Mu Xiaoyun nodded. She was not surprised that diners lined up at the door like this every day.
Sometimes a minute is too short, and sometimes a minute is too long and painful, like now.
Standing at the door of Yuanzhou's shop for five minutes and smelling the bean aroma coming from inside almost made everyone's saliva secretion increase.
Finally, five minutes passed, and the door opened with a crash.
At this time, he could see his usual coquettishness in his position. Wu Hai lined up behind Mu Xiaoyun, slipped into the store nimbly, and occupied the middle position of the long curved table.
Behind Wu Hai was the man who had just wondered what kind of food Yuan Zhou cooked. He was wearing a suit and grabbed a seat without mercy. He and Wu Hai sat down one behind the other.
Diners love to sit on the long curved table facing the kitchen, so that they can see the whole process of Yuan Zhou's cooking, and Yuan Zhou's cooking itself is very interesting.
He is unhurried, his hands and feet are nimble, his movements are quick, and he is not sloppy. If anyone orders the shrimp that day, he can even see Yuan Zhou carving flowers on the spot. With his fingers flying, blossoming sycamore flowers are carved out.
It looks like a performance-style Teppanyaki.
Therefore, the seat in front of Yuan Zhou was the first to be taken away, followed by the seat next to it, and then the seat at the small table for two.
"Here's a new dish." Wu Hai has always been like this. Regardless of the price, he has to eat first.
"Okay, total 148, please wait." Yuan Zhou nodded.
Wu Hai handed over the money, and Yuan Zhou turned around to get the meal.
After a while, Yuanzhou served a strange thing directly.
There is a tic-shaped shelf, and a fish mouth-shaped bag hangs at the mouth of the well. It sways gently as you put it down. The bag is thin and translucent, and contains dark green broad beans.
This entire shelf is on a dark brown plate. The emerald green shelf and brown plate look like works of art, which is refreshing.
"What is this?" Wu Hai smelled it and there was no smell. He picked up the chopsticks and poked it before asking.
"Spice beans, 148 per serving." Yuan Zhou said carefully.
"Spice beans? How do you eat these?" Wu Hai, a big foodie, asked with interest when he encountered something he couldn't eat for the first time.
"Just hold out the chopsticks." Yuan Zhou glanced at Wu Hai. That glance contained many things, the most common of which was probably the word 'stupid'.
"Nonsense, let me tell you where to extend the chopsticks." Wu Hai clearly understood what Yuan Zhou wanted to express and said quickly.
"You can also eat it from this bag if you pick it from the fish's mouth." Yuan Zhou added.
"This is interesting." Wu Hai picked up the chopsticks and prepared to open them.
Are the heads of the chopsticks Yuan Zhou prepared this time not so sharp to prevent them from puncturing the bag? After all, the bag looks soft.
The chopsticks reached the fish's mouth and it was easy to get in. It was a bit difficult to pick it out because the fish's mouth was really not big.
It took a while for Wu Hai to pick up one, but the intention to complain instantly disappeared, because along with the broad beans he picked up, what came out was the fragrance that seduced everyone all day long, and he couldn't wait to put it into his mouth and started eating.
The skin of broad beans is originally not delicious, and the taste is a bit astringent, but this taste in the mouth has no such feeling at all.
The moment I put it into my mouth, I felt that the broad bean skin was very thin, and the bean meat inside was soft, with a soft and waxy texture, a little sweet, and the fragrant flavor continued to stimulate the taste buds as I chewed it.
After finishing one Wu Hai, he couldn't wait to reach out with his chopsticks to pick up the second one. This time, the broad beans were soft and hard, salty and sweet, and the more they chewed, the more fragrant they became, making people want to eat another one.
People tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurry. Now, Wuhai couldn't hold the third one alive, so he just had to open the mouth of the fish with his hands. Now it was boring.
"What kind of bullshit bag are you? You can't even pinch it. You'll die if you eat a bean." Wu Hai complained unceremoniously.
"Food is hard to come by, be patient." Yuan Zhou stood aside and said calmly.
"The price is so hard-earned, did you do it on purpose?" Wu Hai looked at the soft bag and was speechless.
"It has its own uses. You will know after eating it." Yuan Zhou didn't like to explain this.
"I think Boss Yuan did the right thing. You should dress like this." The man in suit next to Wu Hai suddenly said.
