Su Ruoyan ran over to order.”Excuse me. What would you like to eat today?” she asked.
“Oh? I haven’t seen you for a long time, even the waiters have changed. ” Lee Yanyi came back to his senses.
“Uncle, are you talking about sister Zhou Jia? Sister Zhou Jia has gone to work in boss Jiang’s company. ” Su Ruoyan finally understood. This serious customer in front of her was an old customer who had not been here for a long time.
Hence, su Ruoyan immediately said,”uncle, it seems like you haven’t been here for a few months. Our boss has already come out with many new dishes. You can take a look at the menu. I’ll go make something else first and come back later. Is that okay with you?”
“You can go ahead. It’s been a long time indeed. I’ll take a look myself.” While saying that, Lee Yanyi and Zhou zhangju looked at the menu together.
The moment Zhou zhangju saw the menu, he had a rough idea why his friends had stopped asking. The price was higher than he had imagined.
Although it was more expensive than he had imagined, Zhou zhangju didn’t say anything, because he had done his homework before coming here. He knew that although master chef Restaurant was expensive, it was definitely worth the money, not only in terms of taste, but also in the ingredients used.
“Yuan Zhou’s speed of serving new dishes is getting faster and faster. He has both Cantonese and Jiangsu dishes.” “I’m waiting for the day when the menu includes all the eight major cuisines,” Lee Yanyi said.”But then again, the waitresses of this restaurant are all young and pretty girls.”
The eight major cuisines and the waiters were all young girls. What was the connection?
“Before you say that, you should ask yourself. When you eat delicious food, would you like to let a little girl serve the food or a man serve the food?” Zhou zhangju glanced at Lee Yanyi and said.
“Hahaha, you’re discriminating against men when you put it that way.” Lee Yanyi chuckled to himself.
Even though it was a treat, Lee Yanyi still ordered the dishes separately from Zhou zhangju. He ordered Cantonese dishes, which might be related to the fact that he had just gone to Guangdong not long ago.
Barbecued pork, raw braised prawns, fish lips in soup, and a serving of white rice.
Zhou zhangju, on the other hand, had ordered Guizhou cuisine and only two dishes. Moreover, these two dishes were basically unordered by anyone in master chef Restaurant.
Pickled vegetables, rice bean soup, and hot and sour pigeon eggs. A bowl of white rice also ended the meal.
“Alas, sometimes I really envy Wu Hai.” When Lee Yanyi put down the menu, he was reluctant to leave because he still wanted to eat a lot more. However, his heart was higher than the sky and his stomach could only be so big.
“Sour vegetable rice bean soup and hot and sour pigeon egg, Oh? Are you here to stir up trouble today?” The reason why Lee Yanyi asked this question was that these two dishes were the most challenging ingredients in Guizhou cuisine. The key problem was that both of these dishes were pickled vegetables. Zhou zhangju wasn’t from Guizhou Province, so it was strange for him to order them in this way.
“You think I’m stupid? Why did you come to master chef Restaurant to make trouble?” Zhou zhangju looked at Lee Yanyi as if he was a fool.
“When I was in Guizhou, I found a small restaurant. The owner’s pickled vegetables were really delicious, and he also raised his own pigeons. Therefore, the pickled vegetables, rice bean soup, and hot and sour pigeon eggs are the signature dishes of the restaurant.” Zhou zhangju said.
“Oh,” Lee Yanyi said,”you’re talking about the restaurant called brother li that you introduced to me half a month ago. It seems to be very popular now, right?”
“Yes. His pickled vegetables, rice bean soup, and hot and sour pigeon eggs are the best I’ve ever eaten.” “The comment I’ve heard the most outside is that all the dishes on the menu of master chef fan’s restaurant are the best of the best. So I want to know what it means to taste better,” Zhou zhangju explained.
When Lee Yanyi heard that, he immediately said,””Then you definitely won’t be disappointed.”
Zhou zhangju couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. This was a famous chef. It was rare to see Lee Yanyi being so confident when facing a chef.
Being able to serve the dishes quickly was also a major feature of master chef Restaurant. Although the restaurant had never promised to serve the dishes within several minutes like some Michelin restaurants, Yuan Zhou never made his customers wait for long.
In any case, Zhou zhangju felt that it hadn’t been long since he had ordered the food when the waiter came to serve the two dishes.
As he walked closer, a sour taste unique to Guizhou pickled vegetables lingered at the tip of his nose. His mouth felt like it was having a meeting, and his saliva spontaneously flowed out, as if he was planning to participate in a grand event.
“Swish”
The plate made contact with the table, making a soft sound, as if indicating the beginning of a feast.
“Try it and see if it’s as good as you’ve expected,” Lee Yanyi cast a glance at Zhou zhangju and said with full confidence.
“I’ll definitely have a good taste. ” Zhou zhangju didn’t take it seriously and nodded.
After all, he was here to enjoy the delicacies. What Lee Yanyi said was true.
“Hu”
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Zhou zhangju focused all his attention on the steaming dishes on the table. As for the crystal-clear and appetizing rice at the side, he directly threw it into the cold Palace.
Zhou zhangju’s first concern was the soup with pickled vegetables and rice beans.
In fact, the pickled vegetables and rice bean soup was a combination of pickled vegetables and rice beans, which was also green beans. It was a home-cooked dish.
It was mainly because brother Li’s pickled vegetables were really unique that Zhou zhangju recommended them. Of course, he was also very much looking forward to and curious about the home-cooked dishes made by Yuan Zhou, a famous chef.
The pickled vegetables and rice bean soup was placed in a brownish-green soup bowl, which was emitting steam. The green leaves and plump beans inside made one’s appetite go up. The fragrance and appearance were perfect.
He picked up a small white spoon and scooped it into his mouth. First, it was extremely sour, followed by a spicy taste, which combined with the previous sourness.
“Ka Cha!”
The rice beans and pickled vegetables were chewed together with the sourness and spiciness. It was a perfect combination of crispness, tenderness, and chewiness. It could be said to be seamless.
If brother Li’s pickled vegetables were unique, then Yuan Zhou’s dish was indescribably perfect.
This was the first time that Zhou zhangju was at a loss for words, unable to find an accurate word to describe it.
“How is it?” Lee Yanyi knew the result as soon as he saw Zhou zhangju’s infatuated look, but it would be better for him to admit it himself.
This was probably Lee Yanyi’s bad taste.
Zhou zhangju didn’t have time to pay attention to Lee Yanyi’s words at all. All his attention was on the dishes. He wouldn’t have time to talk about anything else before he finished eating.
Lee Yanyi didn’t feel strange when he saw that. This was the daily routine of the restaurant. It was more appropriate to pay attention to his own dishes. He had been thinking about Jiangsu cuisine for a long time.
Zhou zhangju wiped his mouth and cleaned up the dishes. He was very satisfied with the food.
“I’m in admiration, in admiration. ” After Zhou zhangju finished his meal, he said,”I’ve eaten two signature dishes of brother Li’s restaurant, but I can’t even think of a better taste. Yuan Zhou Can indeed achieve a taste that is beyond the imagination of a food critic. If such a person isn’t a famous chef, who else is?”
“And it’s not just the taste,” Zhou zhangju added,”I can’t even find any black spots from the utensils to the plate presentation.”
“How is it? are you prepared to stay in Rong city for a few days?” Lee Yanyi asked.
Previously, Zhou zhangju had only booked a room for three days. Lee Yanyi had said that it was absolutely not enough to finish all the food in master chef Restaurant. Zhou zhangju had said decisively that he was a rule-abiding food critic and would never break his own rules.
Lee Yanyi laughed at that time. He asked again now because he wanted to see Zhou zhangju slap his own face.
“I’m going to check out of the room and leave tonight. ” Zhou zhangju’s expression was serious.
“???”Lee Yanyi’s face was full of question marks.
“Indeed, no food critic can resist head chef Yuan’s culinary skills. Therefore, I will take a plane and leave Chengdu in the afternoon. Only then can I carry out my principles!” Zhou zhangju said firmly.
“What?” Lee Yanyi had never realized that his friend was such a ruthless person.
Zhou zhangju was a man of his word. After leaving master chef Restaurant, he immediately called to check out and bought an afternoon flight to Guizhou.
Of course, whether he was reluctant to leave or not, only he himself knew.
However, Zhou zhangju really left in a Swift and decisive manner, which was much more convincing than Lee Yanyi.
However, was there really a food critic in the world who could reject master chef Restaurant?
After the lunch time ended, Zhang Yan’s Secretary came to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. To be exact, he didn’t come to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to look for him until the opening time was over.
Compared to Zhou Shijie’s Secretary, Zhong Lili, Zhang Yan’s Secretary had no sense of existence at all. Everyone had a common understanding that Yuan Zhou should not be disturbed during meals.
The reason for Zhang Ye’s Secretary’s visit was very simple. He had sent an invitation letter.
This invitation letter was very special. If it was Zhang Yan, the chairman of Sichuan cuisine, who wanted to do something, he would definitely inform Yuan Zhou in advance and come here personally. But this time, it was very unusual.
Yuan Zhou opened it and took a look. It was an invitation for Yuan Zhou to attend the handover ceremony of the chairman of Sichuan cuisine. Zhang Yan was about to retire and the Sichuan cuisine chef who would take over his position was called Cheng zhaomei.
