Chapter 2545: Chapter 89 doling bowl head
Translator: 549690339
The two of them ordered four dishes each, which was a lot for ordinary people. Although the serving of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had always been said to be small, it was actually the amount of a normal dish. When eight dishes were added together, it felt even more excessive.
However, Yang Wei and Gu Xun didn’t feel that it was too much. After eating one dish after another, they didn’t feel full. Instead, they felt even hungrier.
The two of them ate faster and faster, and soon, almost all the dishes were served, except for the last dish.
This last dish was the dish that required the most effort from Yang Wei. At this time, the first wave of people had almost all eaten and left, and the second wave of people had already come in one after another. It could be seen that this dish really needed a longer time.
After the dishes were served, Yang Wei finally understood why it took so long. A bowl was served. Compared to the bowls used by Buddhist monks, the mouth of this bowl was obviously smaller, not as wide, but no matter how small it was, it was still a bowl.
The head of the distillers grains was unique among the distillers grains in Shanghai, and it was not without reason. As the bowl was placed on the table, the strong and rich fragrance immediately filled the space between the two of them, domineeringly driving away all the other fragrances.
Unlike the spicy taste, which directly reached the bottom of the heart, the fragrance of the bowl head was a rich fragrance that was released after being stewed for a long time. It was mellow and moving, like a beauty of time, and also like a jar of old wine in the cellar, which became more and more fragrant the more one tasted it.
The reason why it was named this dish was because the ingredients used were all unpresentable waste materials. However, these materials, which did not taste good and were not popular, had a very good smell of waste. They did not have the smell of waste at all. Instead, they only had a pure meaty smell, which was very popular among the people.
The soup was milky white, and it looked really nice. There were all kinds of ingredients floating in the soup. Gu Xun couldn’t stand the smell and swallowed his saliva because it was too fragrant.
The pig’s large intestine, pig’s feet, pig’s heart, pig’s lungs, pig’s tongue, and other vegetarian dishes such as winter mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots. Each of them was cut into different sizes according to the degree of heating and cooking. They were not uniform, but they looked very comfortable.
Because it was made by adding aromatic distillers grains and gravy, the aroma of distillers grains assailed the nose. There was also a faint mellow taste of wine, and he almost drooled.
“I didn’t expect head chef Yuan to use the most primitive cooking method to make the bowl of rice. It actually smells so special.” Yang Wei said.
Nowadays, in order to meet the needs of the diners, almost no one would use the method of using mud to seal the bowl and then start to stew this dish.
......
This method used almost all raw waste materials. It would take a lot of time to reach the level of good cooking. Nowadays, many people chose to use cooked waste materials to cook in claypot, so the taste was not bad.
Yang Wei’s eyesight was good, and he could see at a glance that this troublesome head was done in the most traditional way. He used to think that this new method was simple and fast, but now he knew that it was lacking in charm.
“I heard that head chef Yuan’s dishes are all made in the most Orthodox way. There are no exceptions. It seems to be true.” Gu Xun said in a low voice.
Nowadays, master chef Restaurant had almost become the restaurant with the most authentic cuisines among all the cuisines. It had attracted countless people who wanted to eat the authentic cuisines to come here and check in. The other restaurants could only look on. As a matter of fact, Yuan Zhou’s dishes were indeed the most authentic. They had no way to refute him at all, which was embarrassing.
The only good thing was that the restaurant was really small, and the number of people it received every day was really limited. The other restaurants didn’t have to worry about survival at all. They just had to work hard to improve their cooking skills, because the benchmark had already been set there.
Yang Wei nodded in agreement with Gu Xun’s words. However, his hands were not idle. He was holding a big spoon in one hand and a bowl in the other.
After taking a sip, he could taste the strong fragrance. The fresh and tender pig tongue had a little soft texture, and it didn’t have the unpleasant smell of ordinary scrap materials at all. Although the pig trotter wasn’t very bad, it had a chewy and smooth texture that made people feel that they could eat an entire pig trotter without any problem.
The two of them moved almost at the same time, and they finished the bowl of soup in no time. Except for the pork trotters, which had bones to spit out, there was no need to spit out the bones at all. So as long as they didn’t touch the pork trotters, the time it took to get a bowl of soup was almost the same as opening the mouth, pouring it in, and chewing it, so that they could quickly eat more delicious food.
Although the bowl didn’t look small and was only half full, it really couldn’t take much. He was full in a short while.
Although they wanted to eat more, their stomachs were full. Yang Wei and Gu Xun could only look at Yuan Zhou who was still busy in the kitchen with regret and then left the restaurant to make room for the others.
They were the only people in the first team who were still eating. If they didn’t give way, they might be put in a gunny sack next time.
“Grandmaster yang, Jiao Hui has already arrived at the airport. He’s just waiting to board the plane. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to arrive before fouro’ clock,”
Gu Xun took out his phone after he left the shop and saw that Jiao Hui had sent him a message 20 minutes ago. He was enjoying his meal at the time and did not notice his phone vibrating.
“Send him the address of our hotel and ask him when he will arrive. Ask him if he wants to come to head chef Yuan’s restaurant for dinner. If he wants to, it’s best if he doesn’t return to the hotel. I’m afraid he won’t make it in time.” Yang Wei looked at the situation outside and said.
Gu Xun nodded and began to send a message to Jiao Hui. After Yang Wei finished explaining the business, he also took out his phone and began to text the details of today’s dishes to the Shanghai cuisine Association group to share with everyone.
The lunch time had just started for less than an hour, but the news of Yuan Zhou serving new Shanghai cuisine had already spread all over the place. At least, people of all major cuisines had already gotten the news.
Everyone had different reactions. Those who had registered disciples, like the Qian cuisine, Dian cuisine, and Qin cuisine, were relatively calm. The registered disciples they had selected were very capable and already had the meaning of being extraordinary. Without registered disciples and Yuan Zhou hadn’t served any new dishes yet, those cuisines became very anxious.
They didn’t know when Yuan Zhou would serve a new dish before it was their turn to hold their heads high. However, they couldn’t rush Yuan Zhou. Therefore, they started to organize a competition vigorously, hoping that they could send their registered disciples to Yuan Zhou’s side instantly when Yuan Zhou served a new dish with their own cuisines. It was also good to fight for one more second. After all, they had fallen behind by so much. They had learned this method from the group of Qin cuisine.
One family was happy while the other was sad. As Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills became better and better and his popularity became higher and higher, the new restaurant launch was no longer a small matter. It was a big matter, not just a matter of an increase in the traffic of people in one day, but many days. Therefore, everyone had to pay attention to it.
Just when Yuan Zhou was busy and the customers were busy eating, a person suddenly came to the back alley of Taoxi road.
Unlike the bustling Front Street, the back alley of Taoxi road was as quiet as ever. It was so quiet that there was almost no one around. The sound of footsteps was even more prominent. ‘Ta ta ta’ was like a knock on people’s hearts, instantly Breaking the Silence.
