1745 Keeping your word
As she was the last one to enter the restaurant, the girl couldn’t wait to start ordering.
“A serving of winter mushroom pot rice” The girl said.
“Okay. Please pay first before you eat.” Su Ruoyan replied.
“They’ve already turned around. ” Although it was the girl’s first time here, she obviously knew the rules of the restaurant and had transferred the money early.
In fact, the term “clay pot rice” originated from Guangdong. Originally, this rice referred to the use of a clay pot as a utensil to cook rice, but Guangdong called the clay pot “clay pot,” so it was called “clay pot rice”.
Furthermore, the pot rice had a long history and was recorded in books such as the notes of the Book of Rites more than 2000 years ago.
This dish could be said to be a combination of food and rice. It would take about 20 minutes to cook directly, and the slight time difference between the two was due to the type of rice and the time of harvest.
In Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, however, it naturally didn’t take that long, because Yuan Zhou had already finished the preliminary work before dinner.
Hence, xiangwen, the lady in overall, only waited for ten minutes from the moment they sat down and ordered their food to the moment su Ruoyan served them.
“Here’s your mushroom pot rice. Please enjoy it carefully. ” After su Ruoyan finished speaking, she took the tray and returned to the partition.
After xiangwen expressed his thanks, he picked up the White towel at the side and directly lifted the lid of the yellow claypot.
“Zzzzzz” this was the wonderful sound of the steaming hot air coming into contact with the hot and dry lid of the claypot.
If one listened carefully, they could hear the sizzling sound of rice coming into contact with the claypot. The sound was very tempting.
“It looks like I want to eat it.” Xiang Wen looked at the claypot in front of him with satisfaction.
The clay pot rice in front of him was placed in a light yellow claypot. The White rice grains were covered with a layer of winter mushroom Chicken, and the beautiful and even winter mushrooms were giving off a unique fragrance.
The chicken meat that was cooked in the claypot had a beautiful brownish-red color. The soup that seeped out from the claypot spread on the crystal-clear rice and swept into Xiang Wen’s nose along with the fragrance of the rice.
As usual, there were two sticks of bok choy that had just turned from light green to crisp green. The pot rice bright and alluring, so Xiang Wen picked up the spoon and started eating.
Xiang Wen was very good at eating. He directly scooped up a spoonful of the winter mushroom Chicken and the rice where they came into contact. The rice there was soaked in the rich soup and presented four beautiful colors in the spoon.
The color of the mushrooms, the Jade color of the chicken, the White color of the rice, and the brownish-red color of the rice soaked in the soup.
“Awoo.” Xiang Wen ate the entire spoon of rice in one bite and began to chew.
The smooth and tender texture of the chicken, as well as the unique freshness of the winter mushrooms mixed with the delicate fragrance of the rice grains, exploded in his mouth.
“Oh, it’s so delicious.” Xiang Wen didn’t have time to talk or do anything else. He just kept eating.
It could be said that she ate very seriously and worked hard, and very quickly. It could even be said that she didn’t have time to savor it carefully.
There was no other way. The taste buds on the tip of Xiang Wen’s tongue were constantly sending signals to his brain that the food was delicious, and he couldn’t care about anything else.
“No, I’ll come again tomorrow, no, next week. It’s too delicious.” That was the only thought left in Xiang Wen’s mind when he walked out of the store.
“It’s indeed boss Yuan’s craftsmanship. It’s exactly like what is said on the internet. It’s even more delicious. Looks like I’ll have to work hard. ” Xiang Wen left, full of fighting spirit.
With the departure of Xiang Wen, the dinner time of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant came to an end naturally.
Time passed very quickly. It was another day of dinner at Taoxi road. There were still many people, and the street was still as lively as before.
“I feel like I haven’t done anything for a year, but it’s almost over.” “I’ll definitely work hard next year and try to write more scripts,”Wang Hong sighed.
“But you said the same thing last year.” Zhao Yingjun, who was beside him, added.
“I realized that you’re here to undermine me?” Wang Hong looked at Zhao Yingjun.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Yingjun was different from Chu Xiao and Lee Yanyi’s vicious tongue. Zhao Yingjun didn’t have a vicious tongue, but he liked to undermine others. Wang Hong remembered that this guy was almost bitten by Wu Hai once … That was a happy yet sad story. He would not recall it for the time being.
Cao mi was also at the back of the line, so when Zhao Yingjun and Wang Hong were talking, he suddenly asked a very important question.
“By the way, I heard that the two big bosses can come to boss Yuan’s restaurant to freeload a meal during the new year. Is that true?” he asked.
Wang Hong turned around and saw a young man who had been very active recently. He felt that this young man was even more energetic than yesterday.
What a joke! Ever since he got the answer sheet in the afternoon, scored 99 points, and successfully joined the queuing Committee, Cao mi felt that his whole person had been elevated!
“I was there last year. Boss Yuan was alone during the Chinese New Year. He said that he didn’t like lively places.” Wang Hong said,”but if we go on New Year’s Eve or the first day of the new year, we can still eat tangyuans, dumplings, or other New Year’s dishes. I was there last year.”
After hearing Wang Hong’s reply, Cao mi laughed in a wretched manner.””Isn’t it a little bad to just eat and drink without paying?”
“What do you mean by not good? boss Yuan is quite lonely to spend the new year alone. It’s better if we are here.” Wang Hong said righteously.
“We have to buy something,” Cao mi added.
After confirming with their gazes, both of them were here to eat shameless people.
Speaking of the new year, Wang Hong recalled something.””This year, sister Wan will be going back with brother Wei, and the wealthy man will not be around either. I heard from the Queen that she has a big contract to discuss overseas during the new year, and it will be difficult for her to even return to China, including Yu Chu. Jiawei will definitely be accompanying Wu Lin, so he might not be around either. It seems that no one will be around this year, and it might not be as lively as the previous years.”
Cao mi couldn’t get a word in. After all, he had only been in Taoxi road for more than a month, and he didn’t know many things.
However, this guy muttered in his heart,”it’s good that there are fewer people. When there are fewer people, he will be able to eat more of boss Yuan’s delicious food.”
Regarding this idea, Cao mi, as a newcomer, was really too naïve. He didn’t know that even during the Chinese New Year, Yuan Zhou would always cook a fixed amount of food for each person …
“But it’s basically not a big problem, because the Black Beast will definitely be there.” Wang Hong changed the topic.”Cao mi, what do you do for a living? I feel like you have more freedom than me.”
“Me? I’m serializing my comics on the internet. ” Cao mi replied.
“Eh? A cartoonist?” Wang Hong looked at Cao mi up and down. No matter how he looked at Cao mi, he didn’t look like a mangaka at all.
“If you upload your drawings online, you can work as long as you have a computer. That’s why you have more freedom.” Cao mi replied.
Wang Hong was curious.”What kind of comic is he drawing? tell me the name. I’ll go and take a look.”
“It’s not suitable for men. ” Cao mi waved his hand to refuse.
“Eh? It’s not suitable for men?” Wang Hong looked at Cao mi with a strange look.
“It’s not what you’re thinking,” Cao mi answered firmly.
“If it wasn’t like that, how would you know what I was thinking?” “So, you are exactly what I think you are, and you even tried to confuse me with your words,” Wang Hong said.
“You … You’re really a genius at logic.” Cao mi took a deep breath. In order to prove his innocence, he took out his phone, searched for the interface of his comic, and showed it to Wang Hong.
“What? You drew this?” Wang Hong was shocked.
Wang Hong’s reaction attracted the attention of Zhao Yingjun, who was originally uninterested in the topic of their conversation. He quickly asked,”
After Zhao Yingjun figured out the general situation, he also went over to read Cao MI’s comic.
And then …
“You drew this?”
That’s right, Zhao Yingjun’s reaction was exactly the same as Wang Hong ‘s.
In the end, Cao mi paid the price of a meal to shut up Wang Hong and Zhao Yingjun.
In fact, the reason why Cao mi could integrate so quickly was not only because he was diligent, but also because he kept his word. It was like the last time he had a bet with sister Xian. If he lost, he had to call her ‘great aunt’, but Cao mi had lost.
Then, Cao mi really started to call sister Xian ‘great aunt’. He did it so naturally and without any awkwardness.
