Wen Yun was really lucky today. Not only did she get into the line, but she also got to know about the new sauces before Yuan Yuan and the others. Moreover, the breakfast prepared by Yuan Zhou this morning was mantou. To be precise, it was steamed bun with skewers or skewers Pixiu, which was an authentic specialty snack of Lu province.
Wen Yun had also eaten it before, but she had not been back for a long time, so it had indeed been about a year since she had eaten such a bun.
Seeing the plate that su Ruoyan had brought up, the two ends of the steamed bun that were pointy and thick in the middle felt very familiar.
“I didn’t expect to be able to eat skewers with shrimp sauce in the morning. It feels like I’m back in Lu province. It’s so good.” Wen Yun, on the other hand, missed home.
Wen Yun, who had originally planned to go home for the new year this year, felt that she could save up the rest of her vacation so that she could stay a few more days when she returned home for the new year.
“But if I don’t have time to eat here during the holidays, it’s not good. Why don’t I take a few days off?” Wen Yun furrowed her brows, unable to make up her mind.
The steamed buns that were served exuded a mesmerizing fragrance of wheat, which disrupted Wen Yun’s train of thought. She decided to think about this problem after eating. There was no hurry now, there were still a few days of leave.
When he focused all his attention on the mantou, he realized that the mantou was really good looking. It was white and smooth like jade, with a slight sheen of oil. It was very comfortable to look at.
The mantou was about 20 centimeters long. The top was sharp and thin, the middle was round and thick, and the bottom was a little blunt compared to the top. It was slightly spindle-shaped and looked very comfortable. There were two holes at the two ends, which were formed by inserting toothpicks. The steam was slowly rising, and it was delicious no matter how one looked at it.
Wen Yun blew at the steam slightly. The first thing she did when she picked up a stick mantou was not to put it into her mouth. Instead, she bent the mantou into a circle, with the head and tail connected. Her movements were very relaxed, and the smooth white surface did not break. After she let go of the mantou, it bounced back without a trace, as if she had not bent it at all.
“The strength of this bun is really good. Just from its appearance, it’s absolutely perfect. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a stick mantou that’s so complete even after being bent.” Wen Yun said.
As for the stick mantou, there was an important standard of quality. A good stick mantou needed to be curved into a circle, with the skin not cracking and the meat not breaking. This was the standard of high quality.
The most important thing about the so-called stick mantou was that it needed to be steamed with chopsticks or bamboo sticks. Therefore, it required technical content to achieve the above. Therefore, compared with other mantou, this stick mantou could better reflect the chewy and refreshing taste of the Lu province mantou.
......
After appraising the mantou’s quality, Wen Yun immediately stuffed the mantou into her mouth without hesitation, taking a big mouthful.
The first impression he had was that it was chewy, sweet, and delicious. When he tasted it carefully, he could taste the fragrance of the wheat flour and the sweetness of the flour after it was ground into fine powder. It was not the heavy taste of sugar, but more refreshing and sweet. Together with the chewy mantou, they simply complemented each other and gave him a feeling of eating it when he was young.
“It’s delicious and chewy. It feels like it’s going to jump out of my mouth if I’m not careful.” Wen Yun ate one in two or three bites.
The remaining two were placed on the plate, waiting for someone to pamper them, so Wen Yun picked up the second one without hesitation.
Because the taste was delicious, Wen Yun was immersed in the food experience for a while. When the fierce shrimp sauce was served, she was a little dumbfounded when she saw the stick mantou in her hand.
He had originally planned to eat the classic combination of skewers and wild shrimp sauce to relive his old dream. However, Man proposes, God disposes. Before the sauce was served, the mantou was already finished.
If it were not for the rules of the store, Wen Yun would have asked for another serving of steamed bun.
“Ka Cha, ka Cha”
She threw the last mouthful of mantou into her mouth and chewed it carefully before swallowing it. Wen Yun comforted herself. It’s okay, it’s shrimp paste. It can be eaten even if it’s empty. Although it’s a little salty, she looked at the small plate and felt that she would be fine.
It was a beautiful purplish-red color. Wen Yun did not need to look at it to know that it was of super good quality. She stirred it gently with her chopsticks and found that the texture was very fine. It was completely different from the granular substances that she had eaten before. Instead, it was as smooth as milk.
“There’s no food of bad quality here. This place is really a treasure. ” Wen Yun felt that the best thing she had done was to agree to qu Yue’s request to accompany her for hotpot.
If not for this, she would not have discovered the existence of this shop. It would definitely be a huge loss in her life. One could imagine how much happiness she would have lost.
With her personality of either going to work or staying at home, it was difficult for her to find good food near her home, let alone a place far from home. This was a bit difficult for Fat Tiger.
With the stirring of the chopsticks, an even stronger fragrance was emitted. Wen Yun could not care about her thoughts and directly put the chopsticks with sauce in her mouth.
The fierce shrimp sauce was indeed delicious, but it was used as a side dish after all. The taste was definitely a little strong. Without the stick mantou to go with it, Wen Yun naturally had to be careful with her actions to avoid the saltiness.
However, the moment the sauce entered his mouth, it was not salty, but fresh instead. The rich umami definitely refreshed his mind. When the delicate sauce entered his mouth, it quickly combined with his saliva and turned into a sauce. From the tip of his tongue to the root of his tongue, he was baptized by the umami. Moreover, the sauce that had been baptized by time was not thin at all. With the thickness of time, it slowly melted in his mouth and entered his stomach through his throat, completing a baptism of life.
“The saltiness and sweetness are just right. The taste is just right. It’s delicious even when you’re eating it empty-handed. It’s really amazing.” Wen Yun’s eyes lit up as she stared at the small plate of sauce.
He wanted to swallow it all in one gulp, but he couldn’t bear to part with it. It really made people laugh.
No one could resist the taste of the store’s food, so Wen Yun did not struggle for too long. When Yuan Yuan and the rest came in, Wen Yun had just finished the last bit of sauce and had really finished it.
“Boss Yuan, boss Yuan, a new serving of sauce please.” Roly Poly shouted as soon as he stepped in.
After that, the customers who were attracted by Wen Yun’s words and secretly wanted to order the sauce, with Yuan Yuan’s official approval, immediately began to order the new sauce.
For a moment, the store became a little noisy.
When Yuan Zhou saw Yuan Yuan enter the restaurant after Wen Yun, together with Tang Xi and Zhang Xin, he had already guessed how Wen Yun knew about the sauce.
“It seems like Roly Poly’s ability to dream has not deteriorated.” Yuan Zhou said.
His hands didn’t slow down as he began to prepare breakfast for each customer. Then, he took a small plate and scooped up the fierce shrimp sauce from the jar.
Previously, Yuan Zhou was so excited about the new sauce that he didn’t notice a very delicate small bamboo barrel hanging on the other side of the jar. The barrel was half a finger high and was dark green in color. It was prepared by the system to scoop the sauce.
Nowadays, Yuan Zhou used this small bamboo bucket to scoop the sauce instead of the taste-free spoon he used before. It was better to specialize in different fields.
While the restaurant was bustling with activity, Wen Yun had finished her meal and very consciously went out to get a new customer to come in for the meal.
