1939 An idea
A certain gourmet app wasn’t as popular as before due to the existence of Yuan food web. The reason why Yuan Zhou didn’t look at his own website and instead went to look at other people’s … Well, he didn’t have any special meaning. It was just that he suddenly became silly and forgot about it.
The lunch time arrived very soon. Yuan Zhou was cooking at his usual pace.
Of course, while Yuan Zhou was calm, the customers who came at noon to buy New Year’s goods were not, like su Mei.
“Little Yanzi, have you really sold out all the New Year’s goods today?” Su Mei was speechless.
“The 100 breakfast servings were sold out by breakfast time today. Sister su, you can come early tomorrow.” Su Ruoyan said directly.
“Alright,” he said. Su Mei’s pretty face was bitter as she muttered that this group of people in the morning were really animals. They didn’t leave any room.
For those who didn’t manage to buy the sausage cake, many of them ordered scallion cakes, wife cakes, spicy cakes, and other snacks as the main course. Since they were all cakes, they could also serve as a filling.
After the lunch time ended, Yuan Zhou’s one-day journey of taste-testing directly started.
“Liu’s barbeque. It should be this restaurant. ” Yuan Zhou arrived at the place directly by car.
The huge signboard matched the wide entrance of the shop. The shop was very big, but there were not many tables and chairs in the shop. Because the kitchen took up a large area, it was barely enough to put ten tables.
It was already past mealtime, but there were still many people in the restaurant.
“Boss, I’d like a signature roast suckling pig.” Yuan Zhou took the last empty seat and ordered loudly.
Generally speaking, the current barbecue shops would pick up other food, such as oysters, scallops, braised chicken feet, and other Lu dishes. The signature dish of this Liu’s barbecue shop was the roast suckling pig.
One could imagine how good the business was to roast two to three suckling pigs a day. There was not a lot of food, and an adult could finish it.
“I’m here. Please wait for my guest. ” A chubby young man replied with a smile.
It didn’t take long for an oval plate to be served. On it were more than ten pieces of meat, each about the size of a ingot.
Along with the meat, there was a plate of sauce with a little green color. Yuan Zhou knew it was the green plum sauce with one look.
“It’s a little like the way to eat Cantonese-style roast suckling pig. ” Yuan Zhou picked up a piece of roasted suckling pig with his chopsticks and ate it first.
The control of the fire was good. At least, the outer skin could be bitten, but it was a little strenuous. The meat inside was a little dry, but it seemed to be brushed with a layer of sauce when roasting, and the flavor improved a lot.
The second piece was dipped in the sauce.”The sauce is more suitable for customers with a strong saltiness, and so is the sweetness. The green plum should be marinated by itself. It’s quite good.”
Yuan Zhou commented in his heart that it wouldn’t delay him from finishing his meal. After he finished the whole serving of roast pig, he paid the bill and immediately went to the next restaurant.
The second restaurant wasn’t far from master chef Restaurant, but it was in the opposite direction of the first one. Therefore, Yuan Zhou arrived there about half an hour later.
The second restaurant that Yuan Zhou visited was a restaurant. The roasted suckling pig was one of the recommended dishes of the restaurant’s head chef. The Dongpo pig knuckle was also one of the recommended dishes, which happened to be Yuan Zhou’s specialty.
It was already the afternoon when they arrived at the restaurant. Apart from Yuan Zhou, there were only two tables of customers. It was unknown whether they had just arrived or had been eating since noon.
Led by a pretty and exquisite receptionist, Yuan Zhou arrived at a table by the window. The environment of this restaurant was quite good.
“What do you need, Sir?” With a gentle voice, the young lady placed the menu with exquisite patterns in front of Yuan Zhou and asked him politely.
“A small serving of roast pig, please.” Yuan Zhou took a glance at it and pointed at the huge words of roasted suckling pig.
He had originally wanted to eat the Dongpo pig knuckle, but after thinking for a while, he decided to eat it next time. He wouldn’t be able to finish it even if he ordered it this time. Therefore, he told the young lady to order a serving of roast suckling pig.
“Alright, please wait a moment.” After the young lady confirmed it, she left to place the order.
Because there were few customers, the dishes were served very quickly. The plate was dark green, and on it lay more than a dozen pieces of roasted suckling pig. The color was glossy, and there was a flower carved from red radish next to it, as well as some red chili powder. Overall, it looked a little more exquisite than the first restaurant.
This was probably the difference between a restaurant and a tiny eatery.
“Here’s your dish, please enjoy. ” The young lady placed the dishes on the table.
Yuan Zhou first looked at it carefully and then reached out his chopsticks to pick up a piece and put it into his mouth,”it’s really not freshly roasted. It should be the pork left over at noon. It’s been roasted again and the heat is a little over. But this pork is indeed a good ingredient.”
He dipped it in the chili noodles and ate it. He found that the chili noodles should be a specialty of the restaurant. The usual chili noodles were made by beating the stir-fried chili into powder and adding salt, sugar, sesame and other seasonings. However, Yuan Zhou found that the chili noodles in this restaurant had some other seasonings added while stir-frying the chili, making the chili extremely fragrant and spicy. However, it didn’t have the feeling of being dry and spicy. Instead, it was very refreshing. It was quite a good match with the slightly greasy roasted suckling pig.
“Hmm … I do have some ideas. I can go back and try them out.” While eating, Yuan Zhou organized his thoughts.
Suddenly, he thought of an hour. After Yuan Zhou finished his meal, he immediately paid the bill and rushed to his restaurant. The restaurant wasn’t far from his restaurant and he arrived in 20 minutes. It just so happened that it wasn’t time for him to prepare the dinner.
“System, can you provide me with the ingredients for roasting the suckling pig? I want to try it.” Yuan Zhou said in the heart.
“Yes, Lord host.” The system immediately displayed.
After Yuan Zhou finished his bath, he went downstairs and washed his hands again. Then, he saw the pig on the countertop, which was exactly the size suitable for roasting suckling pig.
First, Yuan Zhou perfected his ideas in his mind silently before he started to do it. The first step was to remove the pig hair. The method he used was similar to the method he used to remove the deer head last time, but it was also slightly different. The materials provided by the system were of higher quality and more comprehensive.
Yuan Zhou processed the meat very quickly. Very soon, he marinated the pig according to his own idea. This time, he intended to try a method that was more similar to the method of roasting golden birds, or more precisely, the method that was more similar to roasting geese.
“The heat was over a minute, so the pig should be taken out 30 seconds earlier. The ratio of the sauce can be adjusted. You can add some lemons or green plums to try. I just don’t know which is better, the sauce or the intact fruit?” Yuan Zhou cleaned the battlefield silently and ate the pig conveniently.
“Burp. I probably don’t have to eat dinner today. I’ll give these bones to broth and rice.” After Yuan Zhou finally ate up the whole roasted suckling pig, only a pile of bones were left on the table.
Perhaps it was because Yuan Zhou ate very quickly that nobody disturbed him …
“Give me some broth and rice. These will be your extra meals. It’s almost the new year, so you should eat some bones to supplement your calcium.” Yuan Zhou took a big plate and put all the bones into it. Then, he took the plate to the back door and poured the bones into broth’s bowl.
“Woof woof woof”
The rice called Yuan Zhou a few times affectionately and then ran towards the bowl. As for broth, it took a cold and aloof look at Yuan Zhou and then followed behind the rice slowly. Only after the rice chose the bone that it liked did it go to the bowl and pick one randomly.
“I didn’t know that broth is such a wife-doting person. Not bad. You have a bright future. Keep it up.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
