Chapter 1012: Yuan Zhou’s great trickery
“Let’s just use a vegetable knife. ” In the end, Yuan Zhou decided on the knife he would use to unwrap the crab.
By right, it would be easier to dismantle the meat with the eight crab pieces, but the difficulty was too low, and it was cumbersome to use and took a long time, so it naturally couldn’t be used.
Time was money. Having more time now could help Yuan Zhou improve his cooking skills.
The reason why the three – virtue knife was not used was similar. Yuan Zhou, who had obsessive – compulsive disorder, felt that if he could use a vegetable knife, he would not use other knives.
“It’s rare for the system to provide second – grade crabs. This Dongchang Lake should be river crabs.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
“Speaking of which, Suzhou’s chefs are the best at dismantling crab meat. After all, whether it’s stir – fried crab powder or steamed crab powder, they are the most famous there. I’ll go there and try it when I’m free.” Yuan Zhou muttered while wiping the knife.
“Hua”, Yuan Zhou poured the boiling water on the crab gently. He didn’t start to peel the crab until the shell of the crab was scalded into a slightly red color.
There were sharp thorns on the crab. When Yuan Zhou peeled the crab, he paid a lot of attention. He gently pressed the crab on the anvil with his left hand and held the knife with his right hand. With the tip of the knife slightly tilted toward him, he directly made a quick cut on the left and right sides of the crab’s head.
“Ka la.” The slight sound of the crab shell breaking was heard. Yuan Zhou’s expression remained unchanged as he used the knife tip to open the shell of the crab.
As soon as the shell was opened, the crystal clear crab meat could be clearly seen. Because the shell was removed from the raw crab, the meat inside was still raw.
And Yuan Zhou had only used the boiling water to burn the outer shell just now.
“Zhenzhen.” With a turn of his wrist, Yuan Zhou spun the knife in his hand. At that time, the tip of the knife was facing the crab shell.
“Shua shua.” This time, Yuan Zhou directly used the knife to scrape off the crab gall in the middle of the shell, the long net – like gills, and the peach – shaped inedible parts.
While he was doing this, Yuan Zhou always turned on the tap in front of him. Every time he finished picking up something, Yuan Zhou would wash it.
He only washed the part that was picked to ensure that the delicious taste of the crab would not be washed away after many times.
“Huu.” After Yuan Zhou finished dealing with the easiest part of the crab, he calmed down a little and then started to pick the crab meat.
After all, the meat could only be picked out after it was cleaned.
In fact, it was easier to pick crabs when they were cooked. At that time, the meat of the crab’s body and legs would coagulate and peel off the shell, unlike now where the crab meat was still attached to the shell. It was not easy to pick out the whole crab.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou started to be highly nervous.
Looking at the knife in his hand with a serious expression, Yuan Zhou cut the corners of the crab one after another. During the process, he didn’t even look at the crab in his left hand.
Yuan Zhou had already memorized the appearance of the crab by heart. He directly controlled the knife skills and could pick the crab meat seriously.
After a series of knife lights and sword shadows, Yuan Zhou stopped.
“I failed as expected.” Looking at the crab that had been pieced together, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh.
That’s right. Yuan Zhou had actually failed when he was picking the crab’s body, because he had scratched the whole crab meat.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t stop until he finished picking. Well, this was the cause of his obsessive – compulsive disorder.
After all, for someone with obsessive – compulsive disorder, even if they made a mistake, they would still have to complete it completely and then start a new round.
It was like writing. Even if you found out that you had written something wrong halfway through, you would still erase it and re – write it after you had finished. This was the persistence of an obsessive – compulsive disorder.
“Since it failed, let’s make a crab soup to try.” Looking at the crabs on the chopping board, Yuan Zhou decided his lunch menu in an instant.
After the crab broth was cooked, only the shell of the crab was left. After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou directly cooked the shell of the crab with the broth and then ground it into powder and prepared it at the side.
That’s right. Yuan Zhou prepared to eat up the failed crab without any waste.
After that, Yuan Zhou drank up the crab soup in one gulp and then started to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
That’s right, there wasn’t much time left before lunchtime.
When it was lunchtime, Wu Hai, the first one who rushed in, had yet to sit down when he opened his mouth.
“Boss Yuan, are you still going to make Dragon Eye steamed buns tomorrow morning?” Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.
“We’ll only know about tomorrow’s matter tomorrow. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“I’m more diligent. I like to plan tomorrow’s matters today. ” Wu Hai said primly.
“So, do you want me to help you plan it?” The way Wu Hai spoke seriously now was very similar to Yuan Zhou, which was quite frightening.
As expected, he was a classic example of one who was marked by the company one drew.
“Zheng Jiawei is the one who made your travel plan. Since when did you have such a thing as a plan?” Yuan Zhou directly exposed her.
As Yuan Zhou was wearing a face mask, Wu Hai couldn’t see his funny expression. However, he still tried his best to explain.
“He did, but I can do it now too. Why don’t I help you?” In order to eat the Dragon Eye steamed bun, Wu Hai was really going all out.
“What are we having for lunch?” Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him but asked directly.
“Boiled beef, fire whip beef, hot pork throat, and a bowl of plain white rice from the 100 styles of rice cuisines.” Wu Hai answered subconsciously.
“Alright, please wait a moment.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and went to cook.
“Yes, yes.” Wu Hai nodded his head hurriedly.
It was just a habit. Ever since Yuan Zhou’s restaurant introduced the whole Sichuan cuisine, Wu Hai often ordered the small river side dishes, which were mainly spicy and numbing. This cuisines were mainly from the Zigong and Neijiang regions.
Therefore, the taste was very suitable for Wu Hai who loved spicy food. Therefore, he ordered three spicy dishes in a row.
“Wait, I didn’t finish my question, did I?” Not until he paid the money did Wu Hai realize that he had been led into the ditch by Yuan Zhou before he could finish his words.
“This compass.” While stroking his small mustaches, Wu Hai directly put his head on the table and just stared blankly at Yuan Zhou who was busy working.
Wu Hai was trying to make Yuan Zhou find his conscience. However, Yuan Zhou had an extraordinary concentration when cooking.
In the end, Yuan Zhou didn’t even turn his head around even when Wu Hai’s dishes were served.
Meanwhile, Wu Hai’s mind was completely occupied by the dishes that were served and he directly started to eat them jubilantly.
“Although the Dragon Eye buns are important tomorrow, the dishes in front of me are more important. I’ll eat them first before we talk about anything else.” Wu Hai touched his belly and then took the chopsticks and started to eat quickly.
Obviously, Wu Hai was born in the year of the goldfish, yet he had less than seven seconds of memory.
After eating it, Wu Hai was immersed in the spicy, fresh, and fragrant taste. He smacked his mouth and walked out of the restaurant with a satisfied look.
It was a habit of Wu Hai to make way for other customers after he finished his meal. Therefore, he didn’t react until he walked out of the restaurant.
“Wait, did I not ask about tomorrow’s breakfast?” Wu Hai fell into deep thought while stroking his small mustaches.
“Yes, I can come and ask again during dinner.” Wu Hai looked at the long line and then made up his mind. After all, Yuan Zhou was quite busy now and thus he couldn’t be disturbed.
