Chapter 1946: It’s not something a chef can do

Translator: 549690339 

A New Year’s new atmosphere meant that the weather would be different on a new day … Alright, I’ll stop making up stories.

It was also a coincidence that it started to rain a little yesterday, but it started to rain brightly on the first day of the new year.

Early in the morning, the golden sun shone down on the earth, bringing with it the warmth of winter to announce the good weather of the new year.

Yuan Zhou got up and put the red packet that he had prepared yesterday into his pocket, in case someone came to pay a New Year visit.

Due to the special nature of the red packet, Yuan Zhou’s Red packet was the dream of many foodies.

There were more people on the first day of Chinese New Year than on Chinese New Year’s Eve. Yuan Zhou met quite a lot of people during his running. Everyone was greeting each other, so his running speed was two minutes slower than usual.

After he returned to the restaurant and washed off the sweat from the running, Yuan Zhou went downstairs to make breakfast for himself. Dumplings were a must on the first day of the new year, so the breakfast today was steamed dumplings.

“Creak!”

After breakfast, Yuan Zhou opened the door on time. The first person in the line was definitely Wu Hai.

The few people who had come to the restaurant for the New Year’s Eve dinner last night had all arrived. Some of them were even familiar faces. The first thing they did when they saw Yuan Zhou was to greet him and wish him a Happy New Year.

There weren’t many people lining up at the entrance of the master chef Restaurant. It looked like there were only about 20 people. Everyone still automatically followed the rules of the master chef Restaurant, lining up to get a number and eating in an orderly manner.

Of course, no matter what, there was nothing left for the 98 portions of breakfast.

“Compass, compass, Happy New Year, I’m here to pay you a New Year’s visit.” Wu Hai arrived with a bag of red dates.

“Come, come, come. This is my New Year’s gift. Where’s your New Year’s gift?” Wu Hai was really a strange person to ask others for a New Year’s gift.

“Here’s your red packet. Happy New Year. ” Yuan Zhou had already anticipated that. He directly took out a red packet and handed it to Wu Hai.

“Hahaha, I’m going to eat you up this year.” Wu Hai received the red packet and made his first wish of the new year.

“As long as you’re happy.” Yuan Zhou had been used to hearing such a declaration from Wu Hai every year.

Wu Hai was the first one to come and pay his New Year’s greetings. The next were the two siblings, Huang Ling and Huang Li. They would come to pay their New Year’s greetings to Yuan Zhou every year.

This year, Huang Ling had made an ingenious way of weaving a Lotus-shaped string for Yuan Zhou with a red string. She had spent a lot of effort and was very sincere.

They were packed in a carefully selected small box and handed directly to Yuan Zhou when they paid their New Year’s greetings. Then, they received Yuan Zhou’s Red packet conveniently. All of these were a set of actions.

At the beginning, when Huang Ling knew that the red packet contained the dish of master chef Restaurant, she was startled. Huang Ling knew the price of the restaurant very well. If it wasn’t for the Tremella worth 1 RMB, she would never have stepped in here. She couldn’t afford it at all.

But how could he get the red packet back?

Yuan Zhou had convinced Huang Ling. Moreover, as the head chef of master chef Restaurant, the red packet must be related to the restaurant.

More importantly, all red packets were the same. There was no reason for her not to accept them. Although Huang Ling still felt that something was wrong, she believed what boss Yuan said was very reasonable.

For the first time, Chu Xiao also came to pay a New Year visit to Yuan Zhou this year. The new year gift he prepared was the rare Mediterranean rosemary collected in France. Well … It was wild.

It was very rare now, and he had bought these with great difficulty.

“Thank you,” he said. Yuan Zhou thanked him quite sincerely.

“I won’t miss a single dish even if you thank me.” Chu Xiao replied directly and held the red packet in his hand.

“Eat whatever you want.” Yuan Zhou was quite generous.

Those who were close to him would be given red packets when they came to pay him a New Year visit. For those who were far away, Yuan Zhou returned the gift in an orderly manner.

The Queen had gone abroad on a business trip this year and did not come for the New Year’s Eve dinner. She could only comfort herself by eating New Year’s food.

However, a red packet was a must. Therefore, he made a video call to Yuan Zhou and showed him the new year gift he had bought.

“This is a pair. Xiao Ya will definitely like it. Where’s my red packet?” Jiang Changxi showed a pair of crude porcelain dolls with oil paint. They were the local features and looked very festive.

“I’ll give it to you when you come back. ” Yuan Zhou still attached great importance to the gifts for him and Yin ya.

Time passed by in the back and forth Chinese New Year greetings. Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Yuan Zhou began to prepare the ingredients for lunch.

At noon, Zhou Shijie would come to eat the roast suckling pig. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had to prepare in advance. As it was the first time Yuan family’s dishes were served, he had to be serious.

“Happy New Year, little Yuan. How are you? are you very busy?” When Zhou Shijie saw Yuan Zhou welcoming customers at the door, he said directly.

There weren’t many people at noon. Since Zhou Shijie had arrived very early, he conveniently queued behind Zhou Xi.

Wu Hai’s assistant, Zhou Xi, also followed him. Wu Hai was in the first place. Therefore, Zhou Xi, who originally wanted his father to be in the second place, decisively chose the second place.

It was really better to have a piece of barbecued pork than a son.

Zhou Shijie was already used to the way his son, barbecued pork, did things.

“Happy New Year. Uncle Zhou isn’t that busy during the new year, so don’t worry.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“The business time is up. All customers, please come in for your meal.” Yuan Zhou looked at the time and then said su Ruoyan’s lines.

There were more people in the afternoon than in the morning. Although it was far less crowded than usual, it was already a lot for a special day like the first day of the new year.

Seeing that, Zhou Shijie couldn’t help sighing,”I’m afraid that only master chef Restaurant is still queuing up on the first day of the Lunar New Year.”

“Little Yuan, what’s the deal with this roast pig? this old man is really curious.” Zhou Shijie asked directly when he saw Yuan Zhou carrying out a dish.

If he wasn’t curious, he wouldn’t have come here to eat on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The dish that could make Yuan Zhou say it was improved was naturally worth looking forward to.

“Uncle Zhou, you’ll know later. It’ll be done soon.” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to keep her in suspense.

“This little Yuan, the new year is really different.” Zhou Shijie scolded him with a smile.

“Hmm, roast suckling pig? Meat!” Wu Hai’s radar-like ears suddenly received such information and he immediately raised his attention.

He hadn’t taken any action yet and planned to observe for a while more. If it really didn’t work out, he could discuss with Zhou Shijie and eat a little. This move was mainly to prevent dishes that weren’t on the menu.

“Look at the menu. I really haven’t looked at the menu in a long time. It’s such a failure.” Wu Hai looked at the menu while paying attention to Zhou Shijie.

Then, he saw roasted suckling pig in the Shandong cuisine.

Wu Hai’s expression was very ugly. He could hardly imagine how many roasted suckling pig meals he had missed.

In the kitchen counter, Yuan Zhou was indeed very fast. It only took him a few minutes to get in and take out the roast suckling pig from the oven one piece after another.

Of course, this was done in advance.

His hand speed was amazing. In the blink of an eye, the suckling pig that was originally separated had become a whole pig, and there were no traces of joining together at all.

“Pieced together?”

“After roasting, the meat and skin of the suckling pig won’t shrink?”

“Even if the heat is controlled to such an extent?”

“And is this really a cutting skill that a chef can do?”

With three consecutive questions, Zhou Shijie could instantly tell the difficulty of Yuan family’s roast suckling pig.
