“Zhao Mei, the glutinous rice can be soaked for another hour, and the taste will be more sticky. Of course, if you want this kind of slightly hard taste, then it’s quite a success.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Because I know master likes hard food, so I made it like this.” Cheng zhaomei quickly said.
Yuan Zhou was stunned. Did he like to eat something a little harder? As a chef, he could remember the preferences of his customers, which the system called a talent. But when it came to what he liked, he really couldn’t think of it in a short time.
“Master, was my judgment wrong?” Cheng zhaomei asked nervously.
“No, I do like to eat something hard.” Yuan Zhou said again,”Zhao Mei, you can go back and ask Zhang Longquan and the others about the cooking method of the Cantonese steamed bread. Then, you can combine it. You should have some feelings.”
This wasn’t the first time that Yuan Zhou had asked Cheng zhaomei to learn from the cooking methods of other cuisines. In his opinion, Sichuan cuisine had a hundred flavors and was extremely inclusive. This was the essence of Sichuan cuisine. Therefore, it couldn’t be limited to one cuisines. It was better to learn from the strong points of others.
“Alright, master.” Cheng zhaomei nodded seriously.
Cheng zhaomei didn’t stay for long after the two things she had come to the store were successfully completed. She left with Master Li soon.
As for Yuan Zhou, he took Master Li’s things to the kitchen and placed them in a cabinet that was specially vacated to store the ingredients given to him by others. Then, he went to check on the progress of the smoked cured meat and found that it would take some time to finish. Therefore, he planned to do other things first.
“I’ll have to ask aunt Tong about my thoughts last time. ” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of an idea that he had just come up with these two days. He immediately took out his phone and checked the time. It was not even 4:00 yet. Therefore, he dialed boss Tong’s phone number skillfully.
“Du du du”
After a few rings, the phone was picked up very quickly. Yuan Zhou immediately said,””Good afternoon, aunt Tong. I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
Vaguely, Yuan Zhou seemed to have heard the noise at the other side was quite loud. He hurriedly asked in case he would disturb others.
......
The other side of the phone stopped for a while. Boss Tong’s energetic female voice was heard, probably because she had changed the place and the noise was gone. “I’m not disturbing you. I’m just having fun outside. It’s nothing. How has little Yuan been recently? is he okay?”
Usually, Yuan Zhou would call boss Tong once a week to understand her situation and also ask about her health condition conveniently.
This time, she received a call in less than a week. Boss Tong was afraid that something had happened to Yuan Zhou, so she hurriedly asked.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry, aunt Tong. I just have something to ask you. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Your aunt Tong will definitely help.” As soon as boss Tong heard Yuan Zhou’s tone, she knew that he probably needed her help. Therefore, she immediately expressed her position.
“It’s like this, I heard that elder mo was traveling with you. How are you guys doing?” Yuan Zhou asked.
One or two months ago, Yuan Zhou had called boss Tong once. Boss Tong had suddenly told him that mo Qian, old master mo, was traveling with her and that there were two people there, telling him not to worry so much.
From boss Tong, he also knew that old Mister mo Qian had been with her all the time and had only eased up recently.
To be honest, Yuan Zhou felt much more at ease when the two of them went together. In fact, he also hoped to find elder mo through boss Tong this time.
As the world’s number one master tailor, Yuan Zhou felt that Yin ya would definitely be very happy if he was the one who completed the wedding dress.
Yuan Zhou’s thoughts were actually very simple. Since they were going to get married, he definitely wanted to give Yin ya a wedding that she would never forget for the rest of her life. Therefore, the wedding dress had to be taken seriously. Nothing was more amazing than the wedding dress made by mo Qian.
Of course, if boss Tong hadn’t mentioned that mo Qian was travelling with her, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t have thought of that.
“He’s pretty good, but he’s getting old, so he’s not very useful. ” Boss Tong said angrily.
Of course, mo Xiao, who had been standing quietly at the side, was a little unconvinced when he heard this. He thought that he was strong even though he was old, and that his fingers were definitely nimble when it came to making clothes. Of course, he did not dare to refute this.
Yuan Zhou did hear some noises from the other side, but out of respect, he didn’t feel too conflicted. Instead, he said,””It’s like this, I would like to ask elder mo to design a wedding dress for Xiao Ya. I wonder if it’s possible now?”
Yuan Zhou’s words had two meanings. He had always been very concerned about boss Tong’s life in her later years. Ever since he knew about mo Qian’s matter, he had been helping her without leaving a trace, hoping that the two of them could solve the problem face to face. No one had more than 20 or 30 years to waste.
He asked this question because he wanted to know whether boss Tong had forgiven mo Qian and also to see if it was possible to ask Mo Qian to come out of retirement. However, as it was a matter concerning the elders, Yuan Zhou naturally needed to control the extent and be more reserved.
Being asked this time, boss Tong’s face suddenly blushed a little. Of course, she had already seen that wedding dress which carried so many wedding dresses. As for whether she wore it or not, she said it was a secret.
“Little Yuan wants to invite you to make a wedding dress. Will you agree?” Boss Tong directly pushed the responsibility away.
Of course, her eyes were wide open, as if she would punish mo Qian if he did not agree.
Mo Zhao chuckled and said,””No problem. Little Yuan, send me the size in a while. I’ll start designing right away. It’ll take some time before we can produce a sample.”
When a master did something, he often needed inspiration, and so did mo Zhao. However, he had met Yin ya several times before, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with her.
Moreover, since Yuan Zhou had asked for his help, mo Zhao was naturally obliged to fulfill his wish. Previously, Yuan Zhou had helped him a lot.
Only then did boss Tong nod her head and say directly to the phone,””Little Yuan, just send me Xiao Ya’s size in a while. A good meal isn’t afraid of being late. I’m really happy that you and Xiao Ya are about to have a happy ending. I’ll definitely come back earlier to take care of it.”
“I can wait. I’ll need aunt Tong’s help when the time comes. There are many things that I need you to make decisions for. As long as you don’t find it troublesome, I’m fine.” Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief in the heart.
Yin ya could finally receive this surprise.
“Hahaha, no, no.” Boss Tong said delightedly.
After that, the two of them chatted about some daily life and then hung up the phone. Yuan Zhou immediately sent the size of Yin ya that he had saved earlier to boss Tong’s phone. He had asked for the measurements from her friend when he wanted to buy a birthday gift for Yin ya.
“Now that Auntie Tong has someone to accompany her, I can be more at ease.” Yuan Zhou muttered.
After that, Yuan Zhou took a look at the cured meat that was still being smoked and found that the initial fumigation was almost done. Therefore, he intended to carry out the second round of fumigation. This time, he needed to use the sugar cane dregs and stems. This step was more for increasing the flavor and coloring.
Yuan Zhou didn’t slow down. He quickly put out the fire and took out the cured meat to cool it down. Then, he started to clean the kitchen stove.
Although he had a lot of work to do, Yuan Zhou did it in an orderly manner and very quickly. Soon, everything was done in an orderly manner.
After the second round of smoking, it was almost time to prepare the ingredients for dinner. It was just right.
Fortunately, the system was there. Otherwise, the smoke from the smoked bacon would definitely be a cause for complaints. Moreover, all kinds of smells would be mixed together.
