2093 The self-cultivation of a chef
With Yuan Zhou’s sharp eyes, he could see a stretch of neatly Built Green stone-like buildings. Looking from a distance, the buildings were extremely tall.
When they got closer, they found out that the gate was similar to the traditional Islamic temples. It was made of pyroxene stone, divided into three layers: outer, middle, and inner.
Other than the third layer which had a brick dome, the first and second layers were round arched doors made of bluestone. They had a stone pattern similar to the ‘algae well’ of ancient Chinese buildings.
The dome of the first arched gate connected the outer layer and a beautifully carved verdant rock Lotus was hanging upside down. With the drooping Lotus as the center, it was embedded in a radial shape, extending from the top to all sides of the outer layer, like a spider web-shaped arched treasure cover.
Apart from the mission, the only connection between Yuan Zhou and the Blue Mosque was that he might get Turkey cuisines in the future.
Turkey one of the three major cuisines in the world. The famous hallowed cuisines were actually a classification of Turkish cuisines.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to learn Turkey cuisines.” While looking around, Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
It was really a habit of a chef that couldn’t be changed. He could even think of eating when visiting a temple.
“It’s completely different from the temple in my memory. ” Yuan Zhou took a careful look at the tadpole-like characters and found he couldn’t understand them.
Yuan Zhou looked around and finally found the place where people prayed for blessings. At that time, there were already many people.
“The master chef system is the best. The master chef system will help the host become the master chef.” Yuan Zhou read silently.
After Yuan Zhou finished his words, the system suddenly popped up and displayed,””Alright,” he said.
“Yes, the little system is very good at seizing opportunities.” Yuan Zhou said.
They visited the other main scenic spots mentioned on the tour guide, and the driver kindly recommended them, such as the Temple of Heaven and an exquisitely carved stone incense burner with the song Dynasty’s “water lotus flower”.
The incense burner was indeed very beautiful, vivid and lifelike, just like a lotus flower that had just emerged from the water.
Of course, this incense burner was not used to light incense, but to burn sandalwood and other things to regulate the air during the believers of Islam’s worship.
It took Yuan Zhou no more than an hour to pray for blessings and to wander around.
“Is the system done with the temple of purity?” Yuan Zhou intended to leave, but he still needed to confirm it before he left.
“Congratulations to the host for completing the small task of praying at Jingjing temple.” The system displayed.
Perfect. The door opened smoothly and faster than planned.
Now that he had completed the mission, there was no need for Yuan Zhou to stay here. He took out his phone and found that there was a flight to Shanghai at 10:00. Therefore, he changed the flight ticket and headed for the airport.
After going through a series of procedures such as taking his ticket and boarding, Yuan Zhou finally got on the plane to Shanghai smoothly.
The flight with Mr. MA last time was delayed. This time, the plane took off on time. The estimated flight time was 1 hour and 20 minutes, which wasn’t a long time. Although he didn’t sleep for many hours last night, Yuan Zhou still felt quite energetic.
“Shanghai is the birthplace of Shanghai cuisine, but it is also an important international city. Not only is it unique in all aspects of culture, but the food culture is also very Grand. All kinds of big dishes, desserts, snacks, and snacks are covered. There are many kinds of them. Coupled with the foreign environment, the Western food is also unique. It is not easy to taste the local delicacies.” Yuan Zhou thought in the heart.
The famous chef of Zhejiang cuisine he met at the knife-sealing banquet had tactfully mentioned the current situation of Shanghai cuisine. In fact, Shanghai cuisine was a combination of the characteristics of Zhejiang cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, and other places. The five flavors were mixed and had lost its purity.
Although many chefs belonged to different cuisines, they were still very concerned about the development of food culture as a whole. Otherwise, the previous descendants of the four Royal chefs would not have simply joined the China famous chef Alliance.
Of course, most of the reasons were due to Yuan Zhou, but there was also the thought of making some contributions to the Chinese cuisine.
“Old Zhengxing restaurant should be able to take a look at the current situation of Shanghai cuisine.” Yuan Zhou set the destination very quickly and then started to close his eyes to rest.
The flight time wasn’t long. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Zhou already felt the bumpy feeling of the plane starting to descend.
Getting off and on two flights within a day, Yuan Zhou could be considered as an “airborne man.”
He hailed a taxi and went to his destination in one go. Looking at the heavy traffic outside the window, Yuan Zhou was already sitting in the car heading for the city.
“It’s so different from Chengdu. People come and go, and the pace of life is so fast.” Yuan Zhou said.
It was almost 12 o’ clock when he left the airport. He wasn’t too hungry, so he planned to go to the hotel first and then the restaurant.
The hotel he had booked was not far from the restaurant, so it was more convenient to have a meal.
However, the time spent on the road was still quite long. It was an hour’s drive, and the driver was still glad that he didn’t encounter a traffic jam. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.
After checking in and putting away his luggage, Yuan Zhou went out and planned to find a restaurant he wanted to go to.
The restaurant was easy to find. It was different from other restaurants. It had a black signboard with golden words and a wooden door structure. There were two small Lions at the door, which was very eye-catching.
It was already past mealtime. When Yuan Zhou entered the restaurant, there were only two tables of people there. He didn’t know if they had just arrived or had already eaten for a while. The tables were still quite full.
“Customer, how many are you?” A clear and soft voice was heard. It was a girl with a ponytail.
“One.” Yuan Zhou said.
“This way, please.” The girl led Yuan Zhou to a clean table and sat down. Then, she started to pour tea for him.
The wooden tables and stools that were similar to the square table were quite compatible with the overall atmosphere. There were also some landscape, calligraphy, and paintings inside. Yuan Zhou had never studied them before, so he didn’t know whether they were real or fake. However, the place looked very elegant. There was even a big VAT at the corner of the wall, which should be a water lily or a goldfish. There was a faint sound of water moving.
“What do you want to eat?” The girl asked after pouring the tea.
“Green fish with empty lungs, grass-head circlet, fried river shrimp.” Yuan Zhou directly brought out several signature dishes here.
“Okay, please wait a moment, customer.” The lady recorded it down very seriously.
Probably because there weren’t many customers, the dishes ordered by Yuan Zhou were soon served. The first dish served was naturally the simple deep-fried river shrimp.
There was also this dish, Zhejiang cuisine. Shanghai was next to the water, so naturally, there were fresh river shrimp to eat at any time.
“Da!”
The lady placed the dishes on the table and left after saying,”enjoy your meal.”
The river shrimp was placed on a flower plate with a white base and blue flowers. The small patterns were like waves, and the red shrimp with a little green overlapped on the plate, looking very dry.
The only visible side dish should be the green scallions, which were probably as shiny as the shrimp after being wrapped in oil.
“It looks pretty good.” Yuan Zhou looked at the bright red prawns in a good mood.
He picked up a Big Prawn with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. With a “ka Cha,” he bit the crispy prawn shell, and after biting it, he saw the tender prawn meat.
